In the midst of the chaos, there were less than a hundred survivors who could still obey Kail Mann's orders and finally gathered together. On the way back to the entrance of the southern valley while braving the flames and stones, the survivors, who were already injured and mostly half-dead, were further reduced.
The other survivors, who did not hear Kail Mann's orders, or after hearing them, they thought that rushing south was a dead end. When they rushed to the entrance of the northern valley, it was too late for regrets. In front of them were piles of trees that had been ignited by kerosene, and the fire was raging.
In addition, on both sides of the steep cliffs, there were soldiers of the Whitestone Army who were throwing stones and shooting arrows. It was harder than ascending to heaven to rush out.
In the end, the people who rushed out of the southern valley, including Kail Mann and his Orc guards, were only about sixty people.
Shouts sounded, and two hundred carefully selected veterans of the Whitestone Army followed Bai Xiaowen and rushed out, blocking in front of Kail Mann.
[I've been waiting here for a long time!] Bai Xiaowen wanted to say this, but considering that it was not suitable for the style of speech in Kane's Bitwall, he could only suppress it and change the line, "Surrender, or die?"
As soon as the words came out, Bai Xiaowen remembered that there seemed to be a language barrier between the two sides. The survivors did not speak the ancient Latin of the Plantagenet Empire.
However, Bai Xiaowen underestimated Kail Mann. This old Orc was a bilingual talent. Not only could he speak the language of the survivors, but he also knew a little about ancient Latin.
Kail Mann grinned with his yellow teeth and said coldly, "I didn't expect an ambush here. Humans are good at playing tricks. However, you weak humans want me to surrender? Stop dreaming! Charge! Kill these humans! "
When rushing out of the valley, Kail Mann had already activated the [Encourage] skill to increase his movement speed. Now, taking advantage of the remaining ten seconds of the skill's effect, it was the best choice to attack directly.
"Charge!"
"Crush their bones!"
"Orcs will never be slaves!"
Under the leadership of Kail Mann's orc guards, the remaining elite warriors of the survivors launched a charge.
"Although we can communicate, the negotiations have broken down … Go!" Bai Xiaowen waved his hand, and the newly promoted knight Keats brandished his greatsword. The veterans of the Whitestone Army also went to meet the remnant army.
The two sides crashed into each other like two waves.
It had to be said that the fighting power of the survivors was really amazing. Under the serious negative status of all attributes being reduced by half, relying on the 15% attack speed bonus and 30% movement speed bonus of "Encourage", they were still able to contend with the veterans of the Whitestone Army and gain a certain advantage.
One had to know that this was a wounded and exhausted army!
If they were in a good state, the Whitestone Army could only rely on this motley crew to fight a head-on battle with the elite troops of the survivors. The result could be imagined.
Bai Xiaowen waved his hand and summoned all the other creatures except for the four Skeleton Swordsmen to join the battle. Seeing that there were only 10 seconds left of the enemy's Encourage, he immediately used his Deterrence skill.
Kail Mann and his giant lizard fell into a state of fear. The soldiers under his command were all stunned. The shortest was 3 seconds and the longest was 5 seconds!
[Deterrence] LV4 Effect "Crush": Enemies with less than 30% of Bai Xiaowen's Spirit attribute will be changed from Fear to Stunned.
Bai Xiaowen's Spirit was 34 points, which meant that enemies with less than 11 points of Spirit would be stunned. Originally, with the strength of Kail Mann's elite warriors, they would not be stunned. However, they had the negative status of all attributes being reduced by half, so they were all stunned.
Bai Xiaowen's voice sounded in the ears of every veteran captain through the spiritual connection, "Don't touch Kail Mann, kill the others first!"
Keats and the other elite veterans understood tacitly and waved their greatswords and spears, stabbing at the enemies who were stunned. Kail Mann himself was in a state of fear and could only watch as his subordinates were cut down.
Fortunately, with the passive "Warlord's Perseverance", he was immune to 30% of the control effects, allowing Kail Mann to regain consciousness in a short 3 seconds.
"Damn human Magus, I will crush you!"
Kail Mann roared and pulled out a large bone mallet from the back of his giant lizard. The bone mallet had an aura of vicissitudes. It was unknown what kind of giant beast's leg bone it was made of, but it was still stained with dark red blood.
* Boom! *
Kail Mann's mallet smashed into the ground, creating a huge shockwave that even caused cracks to appear on the ground. Several veterans of the Whitestone Army who were in the range of the shockwave were sent flying into the air, spitting out mouthfuls of blood and losing a large chunk of their HP.
This was one of Kail Mann's skills that had not been detected — Earth-Rending Slam!
Immediately after, Kail Mann raised his mallet high up, like a baseball, and smashed the Whitestone veterans in the air. Due to the excessive force, they were not sent flying. Instead, they turned into a layer of flesh and blood that stuck to the mallet.
Blood dripped down the bone mallet, and the veterans of the Whitestone Army were a little frightened. If they were new recruits, they would probably run away directly.
In the distance, the Skeleton Mage shot a Lightning Throw, aiming directly at Kail Mann.
This Lightning Throw was only used to harass, to interrupt Kail Mann's close combat actions.
However, Kail Mann did not care at all. The bone mallet smashed down again, smashing another Whitestone soldier into a meat patty.
As for the Lightning Throw, it was scattered by the Commander Level Giant Lizard mount he was riding on. It raised its head and scattered it! The head of the giant lizard, which was wrapped in thick stone armor, only emitted a trace of green smoke. The damage it received was very slight.
Bai Xiaowen's eyelids twitched. This senior leader Kail Mann and his giant lizard mount cooperated so well!
The giant lizard he was riding was also a Level-6 Commander creature. When the two were combined, the effect of one plus one was greater than two. The powerful defense of the giant lizard greatly increased the difficulty of killing Kail Mann.
Fortunately, after the stun effect on the elite of the remnant disappeared, the continuous state of [Inspire] also disappeared. The veterans of the Whitestone Army could now fight against the elite of the remnant whose attributes were reduced by half, and they were not suppressed by the other party.
The only troublesome one was the Warlord Kail Mann. He rode the giant lizard and killed left and right in the crowd. With 70 points of Strength and the advantage of his mount, he was like a war chariot. Wherever he went, people would flee.
"What should we do?" Li Shuyi looked at Bai Xiaowen. She had developed a habit of relying on Bai Xiaowen.
"We must lure the Orc Warlord away!" Bai Xiaowen said calmly. "Leave this task to me. After luring the Orc Warlord away, kill his subordinates as soon as possible and finally form a siege. "
"Okay." Li Shuyi did not ask how to lure the Orc Warlord away. She believed that Bai Xiaowen must have a way.
After all, the storyline powerhouses in the Spiritual Realm were different from the AI in online games. They did not have an aggro mechanism. Moreover, the Orc Warlord Kail Mann was not a fool. He would not ignore the situation and rush over to kill someone just because he shouted "Grandson".
Therefore, when tankers tanked monsters, they relied on blocking the enemy's position so that the enemy could not attack their fragile teammates and could only choose to attack themselves.
Moreover, in the process of actual combat, the strength of tankers was often much inferior to that of the leader. It was impossible for them to always block the leader's blind spot and not come out. The leader would often break through the blockade and run into the fragile group of DPS players to start a massacre.
This kind of fighting style also required a certain amount of life-saving ability for the DPS players, especially the important awareness of positioning. Of course, the tankers had the most important task. They had to constantly adjust their positions and always block the leader's attack route to attract attacks.
Bai Xiaowen was not a tanker. Moreover, even if there was a tanker here, he might not be able to lure Kail Mann out of the chaotic crowd. After all, the Warlord had wisdom.
However, Bai Xiaowen intended to make use of Kail Mann's "wisdom"!
Bai Xiaowen raised his right hand and flames danced in his palm. He was ready to cast the Kusanagi Sect's ancient martial art — Orochi.
In an instant, dense flame energy converged toward Bai Xiaowen.
Fatty Suture puffed out his chest and protruded his belly. He stood in front of Bai Xiaowen and prevented the enemy from approaching.
Kail Mann immediately noticed that something was amiss. The Wizard in front of him was actually about to cast a powerful spell! On the other hand, the soldiers on his side were at critical health. Could they withstand such a powerful spell? The answer was obviously no.
Bai Xiaowen's threat level in Kail Mann's heart increased explosively! The Warlord roared like a bolt from the blue. He suddenly slapped the head of the Giant Lizard and charged toward Bai Xiaowen!
Fatty Suture seemed to be very disloyal as he dodged sideways. Bai Xiaowen retracted the flames in his palm and used all his strength to escape from the battlefield.
However, Kail Mann's charging speed was calculated by doubling his speed. Bai Xiaowen's agility was also not high. Before he could escape far, Kail Mann caught up with him.
Just as the Giant Lizard's foot was about to step on Bai Xiaowen's back, Fatty Suture, who was in the middle of the battlefield, suddenly activated [Meat Hook]!
* Crash! * A rusty chain was thrown over and wrapped around Bai Xiaowen's body before it was quickly dragged back. Kail Mann's Giant Lizard raised its foot high and stomped down heavily, but it only stepped on empty air!
At this moment, Kail Mann was already more than ten meters away from the battlefield. Moreover, due to inertia, the Giant Lizard he was sitting on could not stop and rushed forward another ten meters before it came to a stop.
Just as Kail Mann turned around, the spell talisman in Bai Xiaowen's palm began to flicker.
The blue spell talisman was selected and turned into a ray of blue light that shot forward!
"What … What spell is this?"
Kail Mann was slightly surprised, but he did not panic. The Giant Lizard he was sitting on had amazing defense and was naturally resistant to physical and magical damage! Moreover, the Giant Lizard was loyal to him and the two of them cooperated well —
The Giant Lizard raised its head and directly hit the blue spell talisman. In an instant, its huge body was dyed with a layer of blue light.
Spell Talisman Switch: Imprisonment Spell Talisman!
The Giant Lizard's Spiritual Power was low, only in the single digits. Compared to Bai Xiaowen's Spiritual Power, the ratio was 1: 8! Therefore, the duration of the Imprisonment Spell Talisman was also quite long. Including the basic imprisonment time, the total duration was ten seconds!
Bai Xiaowen smiled and turned around. A light flashed in his hand as he used the Grade-A item, Death's Cry!
With a long neigh, an elite Terror Knight wearing heavy armor and wielding a longsword descended from the black fog.
It was worth mentioning that this elite Dread Knight was taller than the elite Dread Knights under Jerick's command in Maple City. In terms of size, he was almost as tall as Jerick.
This was because the Elite Terror Knight was Bai Xiaowen's summoned creature by default and enjoyed the 20% increase in all attributes of Bai Xiaowen's "Shaman", as well as the 34-point bonus of Bai Xiaowen's high Spiritual Power! In terms of strength, it was more than 30% higher than the ordinary Elite Terror Knight.
The Elite Terror Knight directly activated Charge and rushed into the soldiers of the Remnant. After knocking several people away, it threw out a sweeping skill and directly slashed two Remnant Survivors with low HP! A black light emerged from the corpses of the two Remnant Survivors, and the powerful passive ability "Enslavement" was triggered. The two Remnant Survivors turned into zombies and skeletons and stood up again, raising their swords at their former comrades!
Bai Xiaowen, on the other hand, took out the Desert Eagle and opened fire. After killing one Remnant Survivor with a headshot, he activated Rapid Fire mode, and silver bullets poured out continuously.
Li Shuyi also began to attack wildly, and the two passive abilities stacked up within a few seconds. His two swords slashed repeatedly, and he only attacked and did not defend, quickly reaping the lives of the Remnant Survivors with low HP.
As for the attacks of the Remnant Survivors on Li Shuyi, they were all blocked by Fatty's huge body. Fatty's HP was as high as 325 points, which was comparable to the HP of a Grade-3 Boss. Facing the Remnant Survivors with all attributes reduced by half, Fatty did not feel much pressure. Moreover, Fatty also had 19 points of Strength, and its kitchen knife was extremely painful when it slashed, and the Remnant Survivors soldiers could not ignore it.
And all of this was seen by the Orc Warlord Kail Mann.
Kail Mann desperately slapped his mount, wanting to rush over and protect his soldiers. However, the Giant Lizard under his mount was in a state of imprisonment and could not move at all.
After seeing one of the Orc guards who had been following him being killed, Kail Mann finally could not bear it anymore. He roared and jumped off his mount, waving his huge bone mallet, and rushed into the crowd!
Bai Xiaowen was not surprised, but delighted. He mentally connected to Kitts and said, "You don't have to deal with the main battlefield anymore. Lead the first elite team of the Whitestone Army and surround that lizard. You must not let it join up with the Orc Warlord! After I take care of the Orc Warlord, I'll come over to support you! "
Kitts laughed and said, "It's just a beast. Don't worry, Lord Boss!"
Although the Giant Rock Lizard was a Grade-6 Boss creature, it was mainly strong in defense. Its Agility was very low, and its Strength was average. Kitts and a group of Grade-4 to Grade-6 Intermediate Elites surrounded it and formed a formation. They would definitely not let the Giant Rock Lizard rush out.
At this time, more than half of the Remnant Survivors soldiers had been killed or injured. It should be known that Bai Xiaowen had 200 people on his side, and they had the advantage in dealing with the wounded and exhausted army. Moreover, there was also Bai Xiaowen and his many summoned creatures, such as the Wrath Claw, the Elite Terror Knights, the Shadow Assassins, and the Skeleton Mages. Their damage output could not be underestimated.
The only threat was the Orc Warlord Kail Mann.
