Once everything was finished, Luo Xiu walked to Ecklaus's side and said:
When do you think those disgusting things will arrive?
"do not know."
Ecklaus gave a wry smile:
"All I know is that I'm probably going to die here today."
"Take it easy."
Luo Xiu patted Ecklaus on the shoulder:
"You deserve the highest honor for holding this place, you are a hero of Bandanda, and all the people of Bandanda will silently recite your name before meals."
Ecklaus smiled wryly and remained silent.
Putting aside the fact that he had ruined the Bandanda city lord's planned territory, he hadn't considered any possibility of defending it against two fourth-tier slimes.
Seeing that Ecklaus didn't speak, Luo Xiu also stopped talking.
He walked to the side and quietly looked at the empty plain in front of him.
In the night sky, a bright moon hangs high, casting its silvery light over the entire plain.
Luo Xiu recalled the scene when he and Leila were camping on the edge of the plains. That day, they ate beef stew with potatoes and dry flatbread, and the dessert was raisin cookies.
CheLun Town is indeed a nice place.
Time passes slowly,
About forty or fifty minutes later.
"Enemy attack!!!"
A sharp whistle rang out from the reconnaissance squad members on guard duty.
Everyone felt a jolt and looked towards the other side of the plain.
A massive, indescribably large red magic circle rose out of thin air at the edge of the field of vision, as if it were being supported by something.
Crimson light burst forth from the magic circle, shooting skyward and illuminating the night.
These rays of light unfolded like flowers, then finally condensed in the air, forming a thick, blood-red line.
The thick, blood-red line fell to the ground and slowly spread towards the direction of Wheel Town.
"Reconnaissance team and ranged team! Revealing powder!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Ecklaus gave the order to shout.
Several ranged hunter squads followed behind the reconnaissance squad, advancing quickly and then stopping.
Fire the arrow, coated with revealing powder, at maximum range! Then quickly return!
Several arrows exploded in the air, scattering pale yellow powder as they fell.
Upon seeing the scene before them, everyone in the Knights couldn't help but gasp.
Just like the previous wave of second-tier slimes, they moved densely towards Wheel Town. The difference was that this time, behind them, dozens of giant slimes with their cavern-like mouths wide open moved slowly forward.
Ecklaus counted them.
A total of 30!
We only found 20 before!
These slimes have actually increased their forces!!
"Look at the top of the third-tier slime's head!"
A member of the reconnaissance team pointed into the distance and shouted.
Ecklaus stared intently at it.
The next second, he felt a chill run through his body.
Above those enormous, wall-like slimes stood several spheres that appeared to be only half a meter in diameter.
The moment the yellow powder was sprinkled down,
Sharp, scarlet eyes opened on those spheres, and their entire bodies turned black.
Their mouths are zigzag-shaped, giving them an evil-looking smile.
The enormous red magic circle was released by the black slime in the very center.
These black slimes are fourth-order slimes!
Ecklaus already knew about the existence of fourth-order slimes, but what truly terrified him was...
The intelligence report clearly stated there were two Tier 4 slimes, but now there are three!
"Damn it, they probably think we broke the agreement because of yesterday's battle, which is why they sent more troops!"
Ecklaus gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his fists.
aside,
Luo Xiu narrowed his eyes as he looked at the vast army of slimes before him.
Did they send more troops?
It's not necessarily a bad thing.
Chapter 56 The Great Battle Begins!
"What should we do now?"
Ecklaus asked Luo Xiu:
"Our current troop strength is simply not enough to stop them!"
"Do it the way we said at the beginning."
Luo Xiu took out two slave contracts and a dark broadsword from his magic pocket and spoke softly.
Ecklaus looked at the slave contract in Rosius's hand and clenched his right fist.
This was something Luo Xiu forced him to sign with the woman in black robes using the basic effect of [Enslavement].
This level of contract is actually not difficult for them to break, but even if they just have the intention to break the contract, Luo Xiu could kill them with ease at his speed.
Taking a deep breath, he shouted to the Knights:
"Everyone, maintain maximum skill range, adopt a tactical defensive stance, and whittle down the enemy's low-tier troops!!!"
"If we hold out for three hours, reinforcements will arrive in three hours!!"
"Keep your distance and don't fight to the death!"
Upon hearing Ecklaus's words, the Knights could not help but feel fear as they looked at the swarm of slimes before them.
But they immediately adopted the defensive stance they had been trained for.
Paladins stood at the forefront, berserkers guarded their rear, blocking the priests, while scout squads circled around the flanks and rear, standing beside the hunters and mages.
Slowly advance towards the surging tide of slimes.
Ecklaus waved his right hand, and a layer of pale blue light enveloped the knights.
Tactical Master Tier 3 Skill: [Tactical Fortification]
Then, two silver blades appeared in his hands, and he spoke to Luo Xiu:
"I have no other choice, and I hope you really can do it."
As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed out and charged towards the surging swarm of slimes.
The woman in black robes gave Luo Xiu a deep look, then followed closely behind Ecklaus and ran out as well.
A sinister energy surged from her fingertips, and a swamp-like magic circle appeared beneath the feet of the slime horde. The low-level slimes seemed to be trapped in some strange state, not only slowing down but also causing some to turn around and walk in the opposite direction.
Warlock Tier 3 Skill: [Chaotic Mud]
Just like last time, the knights bombarded the slime horde with all sorts of ranged skills. The difference this time was that the entire knight order maintained the maximum distance, leaving a long gap between themselves and the slime horde.
Ekraus moved through the swarm of slimes with graceful movements, each swing of his blade a perfectly executed display of skill.
One by one, the second-tier slimes let out miserable cries under his sword, as chunks of sticky flesh were cut off, leaving them on the verge of death.
In his mind, he recalled the request Luo Xiu had made to him:
"The battle begins. You only need to target the second-tier slimes. Remember, do not kill them. Leave each one alive."
"Your goal is to kill 69 Tier 2 Slimes."
He still can't understand the point of doing this.
69?
Does the number 69 have any special meaning?
Damn, he's a complete lunatic!
Ecklaus ran and moved at an extremely fast speed to avoid any unnecessary harm to himself.
At the same time, he tried his best to control the power of each swing of his sword, not only to avoid killing the slime directly, but also to conserve his strength.
But there were just too many slimes, and in no time he felt his strength failing him.
Moreover, he had a premonition that those third-tier slimes had already set their sights on him.
Damn it, weren't we supposed to have help?!
What about people? !
"Roar!!!!"
Just as he was pondering, a deafening roar came from behind.
A silver-white figure, even larger than a second-tier slime, leaped over the swarm of slimes and descended from the sky, landing heavily on the plain.
A first-tier slime screamed as it was crushed into a puddle of slime by the mountain-sized silver-white figure.
Silver Moon Bear!!!
