Skull-Cutter Cridan let out a strange cry and waved his spear to stab madly, but it all hit nothing but air.
Under the state of Invincible Slash, Li Shuyi ignored these ordinary attacks. As long as she didn't encounter any area-of-effect skills, she was invincible.
At the rear of the survivors' front line, the plague messenger — Lich Gowers — watched his side retreating in defeat and couldn't help but become anxious. He waved his hand and released a Dead Spirit Frenzy skill, causing all the undead survivors' strength to erupt.
Subsequently, the plague messenger Gowers stood on the back of a plague beast, waved his staff, and began to chant. Obscure psionic fluctuations surged.
However, at the moment when the spell was about to be completed, an indescribable fear seized Gowers' heart.
Deterrence!
Immediately afterward, a thunderbolt fell from the sky and accurately hit Gowers' head.
The demon-destroying damage caused by the lightning strike caused Gowers' vision to turn black, and he fell from the plague beast's back.
The sound of horse hooves was as swift as raindrops. The Death Knight led three Terror Knights, wrapped in a dark red aura, and like a huge red arrow, they shot straight at the plague messenger Gowers!
Bai Xiaowen stood beside the Butcher, gently took off his cloak, and revealed a smile that angered the Lich to death.
"Your opponent is me."
As early as the battle between the Baishi City Guards and the survivors' army began, Bai Xiaowen had removed his title as the Messenger of Misfortune.
"Damn guy … You're the Baishi Overlord!"
Lich Gowers recognized Bai Xiaowen's face and gritted his teeth. "You … How did you store so much plague medicine?! Your warehouse and factory have been destroyed by me! I also killed the erudite! "
Bai Xiaowen shrugged.
"What was placed in the warehouse wasn't necessarily medicine. It could also be clear water. The real medicine has been moved in advance, okay? "
"As for the erudite … Sorry, that's an undead creature summoned by me. No matter how many times it dies, it can be resurrected."
The soul fire in Lich Gowers' eye sockets throbbed violently. "You … You did it on purpose!"
"Correct, but unfortunately, there's no reward." Bai Xiaowen laughed cheerfully. "Die, damned Lich!"
The outcome of this war had been decided from the very beginning.
The White Phoenix team crushed the top combat power of the remnant army. The three rare leaders, Gartman the Smasher and Cridan the Skull-Cutter, were pinned down. Gowers the Plague Messenger was crushed by Bai Xiaowen and could not play any role at all.
The winged cavalry, as the Baishi City Guard's attack force, was enough to break the formation of the survivors.
The survivors were affected by the ultimate plague nemesis, and under the unbearable itchiness of their bodies, their combat effectiveness was even less than ten percent. They were killed by the White Stone City Guards led by the winged cavalry.
Bai Xiaowen also left a backup plan, which was the Empire's vanguard at the Black Boulder Defense Line.
If things didn't go well, the Empire's vanguard would enter the battlefield as a form of insurance. But from the looks of it now, this insurance was probably not needed.
The battle was not intense. For the Whitestone Army, it was a smooth sailing battle, but for the survivors, it was a torment worse than death.
Unfortunately, Bai Xiaowen's title as the Messenger of Misfortune was not counted as a kill contribution. Otherwise, there would be hundreds of elite enemies in the 6,000 remnant army, and just the soul essence alone would be enough for him to reap a full harvest.
Thinking about it, it made sense. The negative effects brought about by the Envoy of Misfortune title seemed to have been cast by a mysterious existence. It wasn't under Bai Xiaowen's control. Even Bai Xiaowen himself was affected by it, which was the proof.
It was normal that it was not counted as Bai Xiaowen's kill contribution.
With the three leaders of the remnant beheaded by Bai Xiaowen, Li Shuyi, and Cecilia, the annihilation battle finally came to an end.
The subsequent cleaning of the battlefield and cleaning of the corpses to avoid triggering the plague was a matter for another time.
The White Phoenix team, with three shiny gold treasure chests and a silver treasure chest, returned triumphantly.
… …
At the junction of the Sin Domain and the North, a black army was quietly retreating.
This army was composed entirely of the undead, and the pairs of soul fires pulsing in their eye sockets were proof of this.
In the lead was a huge chariot, which was pulled by two bone dragons. On the huge chariot, there was a throne made of bones. Strangely, there was no one on the throne, not even a ghost.
A lich floated beside the bone dragon chariot like a ghost and carefully looked at the empty throne.
"Master, I'm afraid Gowers and the others won't be able to come back."
"Hmm." A voice came from nowhere and floated in the air.
"Master, why did you order a retreat? If we join the battle … maybe the battle will be rewritten. "
After a moment of suffocating silence, the voice that came from nowhere rang out once more.
"Are you doubting me? Huxley. "
The lich trembled, and the soul fire in his eye sockets trembled violently. "No, great master, please forgive the confused Huxley. I definitely don't mean to doubt you."
"Joining the battle is meaningless. The elites of the Imperial Army are watching in the dark … I won't take the risk before I'm sure of victory. "
Huxley nodded vigorously. "Master is wise."
The voice seemed a little tired. "Go back and continue to manage the underground world. We can't take down Baishi City before we develop an antibody virus against the 'bane of the plague'! "
"Yes," Huxley replied respectfully.
…
That night, a celebration banquet was held in Baishi City. Viscount Dennis, the commander of the Imperial Army at the Black Rock Defense Line, was also invited to attend.
Viscount Dennis was a little unhappy.
Taking advantage of the influence of the ultimate plague's bane on the remnant army to slaughter them was a shortcut to gain military merits.
However, the Imperial Advance Force hid outside the battlefield because of Bai Xiaowen's words.
As a result, until the end of the battle, the "backup of the remnant army" that Bai Xiaowen mentioned did not appear. He missed an opportunity to gain military merits in vain. On the contrary, the Baishi Army was in the limelight.
Of course, although he was unhappy, Viscount Dennis still showed the elegance and demeanor of a noble on the surface. He congratulated Bai Xiaowen for defeating the remnant army.
"You are unhappy." Bai Xiaowen's first sentence made Viscount Dennis's smile freeze on his face.
Oh my, do you know how to chat? Are you still a noble? Viscount Dennis really wanted to talk to Bai Xiaowen about the etiquette of nobility. What was a noble? When cutting the flesh of the opponent with a knife and fork, one had to elegantly tie a napkin and pray to the Lord of Light for blessing.
However, Bai Xiaowen's second sentence made Viscount Dennis's noble demeanor and reservedness fly beyond the clouds.
"The credit for defeating the remnant army belongs to you."
"Really?" Viscount Dennis asked subconsciously, and then calmed down. "Why do you want to give me the credit?"
Bai Xiaowen did not answer the question directly. He just smiled slightly. "My status is already very high."
Ignoring Viscount Dennis's thoughtful expression, Bai Xiaowen continued to throw a bomb. "There is also an opportunity to make a contribution, which is ten times more than the merit of defeating the remnant army! It depends on whether Your Excellency has the courage to do it. "
Viscount Dennis had been disrupted by Bai Xiaowen's series of bombs and was subconsciously led by the nose. "What opportunity?"
Bai Xiaowen smiled and slowly spat out four words. "Attack the Sinful Realm."
