"How did so many void creatures come up here?"
Even the Lionheart Knights couldn't overwhelm them with numbers!
Xiao Dai raised his holy shield to shield the group, the veins on his hands bulging. At this moment, Liu Lang and his group were actually surrounded by these void creatures!
Liu Lang was furious when asked how they had ended up in this state.
What incredible luck!
They had just returned from supporting Zone 3 when they encountered the First Reconnaissance Team in distress while passing through Zone 1. After helping them, they voluntarily stayed behind to hold the line.
Before they could even utter their boast, hundreds of void creatures came up the slope from here!
Liu Lang's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. Was this the enemy's main force attacking?
The only good news right now is that these void creatures are not all at the level of seven stars or above. Their strength is at least four stars, and most of them are at the level of five or six stars.
If that were all, things wouldn't be so awkward for everyone. The key issue is that the enemy's attacks are getting fiercer and fiercer. So far, over a hundred mid-stage Seven-Star Lionheart Knights have encountered their thirty-third Seven-Star opponent.
The final straw that broke the camel's back was the three eight-star humans who later exuded an aura of emptiness!
"Who are these guys?"
"How could there be people corrupted by the void? Could they be the Royal Guard?"
Xiao Dai and Liu Lang both speculated, but Lionheart Knights were already starting to lose members.
Although they won't actually die, their souls will be damaged for a short period of time, so don't even think about summoning them back during that time.
"No! We can't hold out any longer, retreat!"
All three artillery positions that Liu Lang had deployed had been destroyed. During this time, Liu Lang had also lost over a thousand weapon clones. There was nothing that could be done; someone had to fill the gaps, otherwise the enemy would advance even faster.
The only pity is the location they are in. If they retreat, it will be difficult to control the high ground again.
"March of Glory!"
A shout rang out on the battlefield, and several sword shadows whistled past, slashing at the eight-star and seven-star enemies!
At such a critical moment, Princess Eletta, the third princess and the Prime Minister's Guard, led by the Grand Master of the Royal Knights, arrived just in time!
The addition of a peak eight-star expert greatly stabilized the morale of the troops.
Quiyul, who had been enduring the pressure, could finally breathe a sigh of relief, but he was so exhausted that he couldn't even let out a cacophony of laughter.
"You actually managed to do this?"
I'll remember this. Now, follow me into enemy lines! Let's wipe them out!
Eletta drew her longsword, capable of slaying a void creature with a single strike.
Someone with her combat strength should have gone to defend the main gate, but the benefits would have been too small. Previously, the Prime Minister deliberately concealed Eletta's combat strength, only exposing his and Mark's strength as early and mid-stage eight-stars.
With the Prime Minister previously positioned on the eastern front and Mark guarding the main gate, they will certainly concentrate their main forces on the western front and the main gate.
After all, it was their first encounter, so the chances of the opponent launching a surprise attack were extremely slim, as were the chances of them uncovering the Prime Minister's plan.
Excessive misdirection and mismanagement led to heavy losses for Zefk after he sent a large army to fight the Prime Minister and others.
However, they received no news about the western front, and the corrupt Royal Guard did not take action. Instead, they continued to manipulate the power of the void and corrupt the souls in the Exile who could not be reincarnated, turning them into void creatures to attack the positions above.
It wasn't until the entire Western Front was pushed back that Zefk finally sent his troops to the Western Front, but by then Eletta had already led her troops to the Eastern Front.
After learning that the progress on the western front had not been pushed back any further, Zefk immediately increased the protection of the frontal forces to prevent that force from launching a surprise attack from an unknown location.
Not long after, they learned that the troops on the eastern front had also been nearly defeated, and the entire army was left with less than 60% of its fighting strength.
"So fierce... Well then, let's give you a taste of sweetness first. Anyway, the souls here are endless. Let's see who can outlast whom?"
Zephrys once again unleashed his Void powers. He wasn't exaggerating; if he continued to summon these Void creatures to fight, it was only a matter of time before the upper level was breached.
However, this was impossible, because Hawkehins had successfully awakened the Crown Prince's consciousness an hour earlier and entered the depths of his soul with him to capture the Void Stone.
The previous restrictions had also been effective to some extent. The Void Stone was unable to escape the Crown Prince's body and could only be pursued by them. However, it would take some time to catch and deal with it.
Therefore, we still need external help to buy time.
The Prime Minister gained a slight advantage in the first round of engagements. Although he temporarily resolved the conflict on both the east and west fronts, the main battlefield at the front gate remains the biggest challenge. Moreover, if the conflict drags on, the enemy will regain control of both the east and west fronts.
Even if the Third Princess Eletta is incredibly powerful, it's impossible for her to travel back and forth like that.
After all, she was the strongest fighter among Liu Lang's group. If she fell into the enemy's trap, the situation would become even worse.
Therefore, whether the stalemate can be broken on the main battlefield has become the most crucial factor.
However, the Prime Minister was somewhat worried about the defenses around the Crown Prince.
The reason he has been hesitant to take the initiative is that he is afraid of overlooking something, which could allow the enemy to infiltrate the area.
However, it's now certain that there are no enemies on either the eastern or western fronts, so as long as victory is achieved on the main battlefield...
