Lorga's profession had been promoted to Heavy Armor Guard, a Level-7 Elite model.
"Brother Dior, when you went missing in the Frozen Cemetery, we all thought you were dead. I didn't expect you to survive. Where have you been for the past two years? "Lorga asked with concern.
Bai Xiaowen secretly paid attention to the time Lorga mentioned. It turned out that he had left the Aaron Plane for a year, and had been here for two years. Fortunately, the time span was not too long.
"I was lucky enough to survive, and I even met my long-lost sister, Charlotte. But now is not the time to talk about this. Let's kill these Imperial dogs first, and we'll talk about it when it's safe. "Bai Xiaowen changed the topic.
This also reminded Lorga, and he nodded heavily. "Yes, I was responsible for escorting the messenger Obor back to Pointed Helmet City, but we were ambushed by the Imperial Army on the way. This is the Imperial Army's sphere of influence, and the enemy's reinforcements may come at any time. We have to deal with them as soon as possible. "
"Okay." Bai Xiaowen waved his hand and said, "Protect the messenger, Charlotte and I will kill the enemy's leader."
The two asked for the location of the Imperial Army's commander, and pushed forward. The Imperial Army soldiers came to surround them, greatly relieving the pressure on Lorga and the others.
"Assemble! Bandage the wounded on the spot. The rest of you, follow me and cover Brother Dior's charge! "Lorga shouted loudly. He was obviously the commander of this group of rebels.
"Do you … know each other?" The middle-aged man who was holding a dagger in self-defense, the rebel messenger Obor, asked. "Who … is that person?"
Now that the pressure was reduced, Lorga had the time to answer this question.
"His name is Dior Kail Bloom, a warrior of the Usok. He once intercepted the Imperial Special Envoy with me and Ralph, and made great contributions. He was received by the Usok. Back then, he was a trustworthy brother. I just don't know what he has experienced in the past two years. Can we still trust him? "
Obor looked at the army of undead creatures commanded by Bai Xiaowen and was still a little surprised. "He's a necromancer?"
"Yes, in Pointy Helmet City, in order to pursue power, Dior embarked on the path of enslaving the undead. Back then, he was just a rookie on the battlefield. Who would have thought that he would become a powerful Necromancer? Fortunately, he still seems to be on our side. "
Bai Xiaowen's Butcher swung his club and charged into the enemy ranks. Under the effect of Decay, the Imperial Army's support soldiers' HP rapidly fell. When their attacks landed on the Butcher's body, the damage they dealt was negligible. As for the regular soldiers, Li Shuyi, Wrath Claw, and Bai Xiaowen worked together to eliminate them one by one.
The Butcher's performance was quite eye-catching. He was like a tank. With his huge and sturdy body, he took almost all the damage for the team. Coupled with the Slaughterhouse's HP recovery effect, when he charged in front of the commander of the Imperial Army, the Butcher's HP was almost full!
"Damned rebels!"
The commander of the Imperial Army was an Archer wearing a studded armor. Like Lorga, he was an Elite. Under the protection of two Elite chain-armored Giant Hammer Warriors, he kept shooting arrows. The damage of a single attack was astonishing.
Bai Xiaowen directly used the Insight skill.
[Emil Hart (Elite Level 7)]
[Race: Humanoid/Human]
[Profession: Secret Archer]
[Attributes: Strength 29, Agility 51, Constitution 24, Spirit 19]
[Skill 1: Scatter Shot: Omitted]
[Skill 2: Secret Shot: After charging, shoot a special arcane energy arrow, causing physical damage to the target and additional magic damage.]
[Skill 3: Breath of the Wind: Passive, Movement Speed and Attack Speed increase by 15%.]
[Skill 4: Veteran Level 1: Health Points increase by an additional 100 points.]
This Secret Archer was a standard DPS profession. Unlike ordinary Awakened ones, the target did not have any movement skills such as backward jump or flash. Perhaps it was because of the protection of his comrades that he had to maximize his damage output.
The target obviously did not pose any threat to Bai Xiaowen's powerful team.
However, just as the Butcher was about to charge over, the neighing of horses suddenly sounded not far away. A rolling stream of iron trampled on the muddy ground after the first snowfall and brazenly charged out!
The leader of the cavalry was a heavily armored knight. He held his lance horizontally and charged at the huge Butcher.
[Lance Assault: Launch a sudden attack in a direction. During the attack, the user's Strength will increase continuously. The maximum increase is 200%!]
The group attack of cavalry was quite terrifying. Even the huge Butcher would not be able to withstand this lance assault skill. He would definitely be repelled or even sent flying.
"Continue. Kill this Secret Archer first."
Bai Xiaowen's eyes lit up. Without any warning, he directly used the Deterrence skill! An invisible pressure spread out, enveloping the ten-odd knights who were charging over, as well as the secret archer Emil Hart.
Bai Xiaowen's Spirit had reached 69 points. This meant that all targets with Spirit lower than 21 points would be stunned! Enemies with Spirit higher than 21 points would still have to suffer the Fear effect.
Another thing that needs to be mentioned is that a cavalry unit consists of two units: the rider on the back of the horse and the warhorse under it!
Although the warhorses of the Spiritual Realm were stronger than ordinary horses, their Spirit could not reach 21 points. All of them would be stunned! Now, things were getting interesting. With a series of neighs, the warhorses fell to the ground one after another under the powerful inertia. The riders on the warhorses were sent flying forward, receiving minor damage.
Knights with Spirit lower than 21 points would not be able to wake up from the stunned state even if they received minor damage.
However, the leading heavy-armored knight was a commander. His Spirit was over 21 points! The control effect he received was Fear. With this fall, he woke up from the Fear effect. He quickly got up, threw away his lance, and pulled out his greatsword to block the Butcher.
Although this heavy-armored knight's appearance was very miserable, his commander strength was not reduced at all. The Butcher swung his club, but it was blocked by the greatsword with a clang.
The heavy-armored knight skillfully spun the greatsword. Under Bai Xiaowen's control, the Butcher immediately felt a surge of sticky force. The scepter almost fell out of his hand, revealing a big opening. The heavily-armored knight took a step forward and attacked. With a simple thrust of his sword, he opened up a small wound on the butcher's fat belly.
Fortunately, the corrosive poison had already caused damage to the heavy-armored knight. With the special effect of the Poison Fang Priest set, the heavy-armored knight's damage to the Butcher was greatly reduced. This thrust only caused a few dozen points of damage.
Li Shuyi whistled past the battle between the heavy-armored knight and the Butcher. He had already rushed to the side of the stunned Secret Archer. His two swords crisscrossed, and the Secret Archer Emil Hart's HP rapidly decreased.
The heavy-armored knight roared angrily. His greatsword clashed with the Butcher's scepter for the second time. Using the rebound force, he spun around and stepped forward. His greatsword whistled as it slashed toward Li Shuyi.
This strike was fierce. Li Shuyi could only take a step back to avoid it. The Secret Archer Commander Emil escaped death.
After the stun effect of Deterrence passed, Emil hurriedly led two chain-armored Giant Hammer Warriors to hide behind the heavy-armored knight. He shouted loudly, "Sir Alberta!"
Bai Xiaowen had already used Insight on the heavy-armored knight Alberta. The other party's occupation was called "Heavy Cavalry Commander". He had high Strength and Constitution. In terms of skills, he had two cavalry spear skills that could only be used while riding a warhorse. Now, they were useless.
The heavy-armored knight Alberta nodded slightly. There was a trace of dignity in his voice. "Has the mission been completed?"
"It was about to be completed, but this necromancer suddenly appeared!" Emil said curtly. "Sir, the messenger of the rebel army is in the east. He has already been surrounded by our people!"
At this time, the dozen or so cavalry brought by Alberta had already lined up behind Alberta. Under Bai Xiaowen's Deterrence skill, the warhorses had broken tendons and bones. They definitely could not be ridden again.
Alberta stared coldly at Bai Xiaowen. "Who are you, sir? Why are you helping the rebel army? I have never heard of someone like you in the rebel army. "
Bai Xiaowen smiled. "My name is Dior Si Kail Bloom. I am a member of the rebel army. Who are you? I have also never heard of someone like you in the Imperial Army. " He did not reject talking to people from the Spiritual Realm, even if they were enemies. It was good to be able to dig out more information.
"I'm Alberta Maxwell, the commander of the cavalry under Prince Richard. Dior Si Kail Bloom? This name seems a little familiar … "Alberta narrowed his eyes.
"It's him! It's the criminal wanted by Lord Glantis. He murdered Baron Elliot! "Secret Archer Emil suddenly shouted.
Alberta quickly recalled after this reminder. He stared coldly at Bai Xiaowen and said, "Stubborn rebel army, go to hell! All troops, attack! "
Notification from the Spiritual Realm:
"Heavy Knight Commander Alberta's combat skill: Encourage has been activated. Surrounding allies' attack power and attack speed are increased by 15% for 60 seconds."
Bai Xiaowen had a flash of realization. He had left the Aaron Plane for "two years", so why was his reputation still maintained at D-rank? It seemed that Lord Glantis played a role that could not be ignored. A wanted order made Bai Xiaowen a somewhat famous "criminal" in the Northern Territory.
Since the battle had begun, there was no need to be polite.
The Wrath Claw and the Skeleton Warriors charged at the front and blocked Alberta. Although Alberta's two-handed swordsmanship was very strong, the Wrath Claw's combat ability was not weak under Bai Xiaowen's control. With the help of the Skeleton Warriors, it had no problem holding Alberta back.
The Butcher fully utilized his advantage in group battles and killed his way into the formation of the infantry cavalry. Every second, he was slashed by several sabers. However, his body was covered in poisonous gas, and every enemy within melee range was covered in a purple color. Not only was the damage dealt to the Butcher reduced by 30%, but their own health points were also rapidly falling under the influence of the poison.
The other summoned creatures assisted the Butcher in clearing out the cavalry.
The cavalry could not fully utilize their advantage in speed when fighting on foot, not to mention that their armor and magic resistance had been reduced by half by the Butcher's poison. They were as fragile as thin paper and fell under the combined attacks of the summoned creatures.
The only long-range elite, Secret Archer Emil, was still being chased by Li Shuyi. If it were not for the help of the two chain-armored Giant Hammer Warriors, he would have died.
However, he still died.
The one who attacked was Bai Xiaowen. He used the Charm Talisman to teach people how to behave and knocked Amir unconscious. The Shadow Assassin appeared behind Emil and activated its assassination skill. Vital Strike plus double damage killed him.
Without the threat of long-range attacks, the Butcher, with his three-piece set, could do whatever he wanted on the battlefield. Every fallen Imperial Army soldier around him recovered his health.
Bai Xiaowen then activated Rapid Fire to attack Alberta.
His current long-range damage output was definitely not to be underestimated. With his high-level shooting specialty, the angle of the bullets he fired was even more difficult to predict, making it difficult for Alberta to block or dodge.
The frequent hits from the bullets would occasionally trigger True Damage from [Bloodlust], and the penetrating bullets that were shot every four times ignored armor! Even Alberta, with his high Constitution and extra health points, couldn't take it and would groan every time.
The soldiers under Alberta's command wanted to rush over to protect their commander, but under the Butcher's corrosive poison, it was as if they had fallen into a swamp. Their movement speed was slow and they couldn't break through the blockade of the summoned creatures.
When Alberta only had one-third of his health left, he finally couldn't take it anymore.
With a swing of his two-handed greatsword, Alberta was like a spinning top, spinning wildly. The nearest skeleton sword-shield-bearer was sucked in and instantly turned into bone fragments that scattered everywhere!
Battle skill — Bladestorm!
The Skeleton Warrior also suffered a lot of damage, losing more than half of its health points in an instant! Bai Xiaowen quickly controlled it to retreat and avoid the whirlwind of death.
As for the Wrath Claw and Li Shuyi, they had the advantage of high agility and were able to dodge even faster. This was also the result of Bai Xiaowen's preparation after seeing Alberta's skill. If he didn't know about this skill and sent a large number of summoned creatures to besiege Alberta, it would be over.
However, Alberta's Bladestorm created a swirling airflow that spread out in all directions like small tornadoes. Every small tornado could cause damage similar to that of a sharp blade's slash.
Bai Xiaowen had no choice but to order all summoned creatures to retreat. He had already tried the Undead Demon Arcane Master's Lightning Strike spell, but it was ineffective against Alberta.
Fortunately, Alberta wasn't invincible, and Bai Xiaowen's long-range shooting could still cause damage to him!
50% of the bullets would be blocked. This should be one of the special effects of Alberta's Bladestorm. However, half of the attacks still hit Alberta, and his health points slowly but surely decreased.
Suddenly, Alberta stopped the Bladestorm, lowered his shoulders and lowered his head, and launched a final charge at Bai Xiaowen. At this time, the summoned creatures had already pulled away, and there was no obstacle between Bai Xiaowen and him!
As long as he killed this necromancer, he could turn defeat into victory! This was Alberta's only thought.
