Chapter 53: Breakthrough Before Battle, A True Genius!
Half an hour later, the team of nearly ninety people arrived at the Blackwater River, the place where Shen Xing had previously been fighting monsters.
At this moment, the black shallows were covered with footprints and drag marks, but the Naga corpses on them were nowhere to be seen.
"It seems that the group of Naga went back into the water yesterday," Xia Wanyin said softly after sensing carefully.
Shen Xing nodded: "Put the bait up there again and see if we can lure them up."
"If they don't take the bait, then let's find another place to grind monsters."
After saying that, he had an orc step forward and place the bait wrapped in oilcloth on the shallows.
And less than a minute had passed since the bait was placed.
"Splash... splash..."
A series of splashing sounds rang out, as if a large number of creatures were coming ashore from the water.
Immediately afterwards, a group of imposing and fierce-looking Dark Naga stepped into the firelight.
Leading the group was none other than that pale and fierce Dark Naga priest!
"How dare you lowly humans trespass into the Blackwater River!"
A cold voice emanated from beneath the Naga priest's mask: "Today, you will all be buried at the bottom of the river, turning into silt that nourishes the riverbed!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly raised her staff, and a vast amount of dark power surged forth.
A rapidly spinning black water sphere appeared, its volume expanding rapidly.
And because it was close to the water, the water sphere seemed even more terrifying than yesterday.
"Who dares to harm my lord!"
A furious shout came from the sky, and all the Naga instinctively looked up.
Immediately afterwards, they saw a green figure descend from the sky, raising a flaming battle axe high in both hands, and slashing down with destructive force.
Sensing the terror of this attack, all the Naga felt a chill run down their spines and instinctively scattered.
Even the Naga priest had to interrupt her spellcasting, flicking her fishtail and rushing forward more than ten meters.
"boom!!!"
The moment she left her spot, it was as if a comet had fallen onto the riverbank.
The violent shockwave instantly overturned more than a dozen Dark Naga, raising dust tens of meters high.
As the smoke cleared, a huge crater appeared on the riverbank. At the bottom of the crater, a green figure held a double-edged battle axe, his body slightly bent, exuding a fierce aura.
The Naga priestess's gaze narrowed slightly. She sensed the enemy's power; their aura was almost upon her.
"I'll deal with him, you go and wipe out those humans!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the skin under the Naga priest's armpits began to wriggle, and with a "poof," a second pair of fair arms emerged.
Dark power surged, and a harpoon about 1.5 meters long quickly materialized in her hand.
At this moment, she gripped two weapons with her four arms, and with a flick of her massive fish tail, she charged toward Hellroar at incredible speed.
Hellscream remained unfazed, raising his battle axe to meet the attack head-on.
"Clang!"
The weapons clashed with a dull thud, and the two top-tier first-level experts instantly clashed.
The other Dark Naga swarmed towards Shen Xing and Xia Wanyin.
A legion of hundreds of Naga was mobilized, and an overwhelming sense of oppression continued to assail them.
"Go! Push them down!"
Shen Xing was not afraid at all, after all, he was no longer the same person he was yesterday.
Now, he is a great lord who commands an army of dozens of men!
At a command, a dozen orcs and Xia Wanyin's light elf swordsmen rushed out to meet the oncoming Naga legion.
"Pfft! Pfft pfft!"
As soon as they made contact, a fierce hand-to-hand combat broke out between the two sides.
A dozen or so dark naga were cut down on the spot, and then hacked to death by other light elf swordsmen and orcs.
Several orcs on Shen Xing's side were also sent flying by spears, some even having their chests pierced through, a truly pitiful sight.
At that moment, the skeleton archers and light elf archers behind them fired a volley of arrows!
"Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
Dark arrows and light arrows formed a dense rain of arrows, piercing through swarms of dark naga.
Some were even hit in vital areas, and were instantly pierced through.
The orcs, now in berserk mode, immediately pressed forward, continuously advancing the front line.
The two sides quickly clashed, and the entire shallows were covered by fierce fighting.
Shen Xing pushed his wheelchair behind the boulder, with two light elf shield guards protecting him closely.
This was the first time he had experienced such a large-scale battle, and he found it quite exciting.
He immediately took out sunflower seeds and peanuts—no, he took out a crossbow—and aimed it at the Nagas in the crowd who could attack from a distance, continuously firing stray arrows to harass them.
There is still a significant difference in the number of troops on both sides, but Shen Xing and Xia Wanyin have higher quality troops.
The number of elite units alone exceeds 30 on both sides!
Furthermore, thanks to the Hellscream [Heroic Spirit] talent, all orcs will gain 1 level during battle.
Although some damage has occurred, no orcs have been killed so far.
Meanwhile, one of the elite Naga, seeing the enemy so ferocious and the battle lines being pushed forward continuously, grew anxious.
Then he raised his staff and uttered ancient chants.
"დიდიტალღა, დაჭამსდედას!"
The next second, a group of Nagas wielding staffs all began to wave their staffs, and dark magic surged forth.
"Splash... splash..."
The Blackwater River surged and grew increasingly violent, gradually transforming into a giant wave tens of meters high!
The black, colossal waves, with overwhelming force, rushed to the shore, threatening to engulf the entire orc army.
It was the Naga's Legion skill – Dark Tide!
Xia Wanyin sensed the terror of this large-scale spell, her brows furrowed, and her right hand rested on the backpack at her waist, seemingly wanting to demonstrate her spending power.
Just then, a scorching heat suddenly emanated from the rear of the battlefield.
"Whoosh—whoosh—!"
One after another, eerie green fireballs shot into the sky, tearing through the thick fog and crashing down on the Naga legion with destructive force!
Two of the fireballs were exceptionally large, almost three or four times the size of the others.
Clearly, Shen Xing's lesser demon squad had completed the spell's charging.
Before the Naga could react, more than a dozen fireballs crashed down upon them at a speed faster than the dark waves.
"Boom! Boom boom!!!"
Each fireball exploding was like a heavy bomb landing, blasting the Dark Naga within a radius of five or six meters into disarray.
Those two extra-large fireballs were even more terrifying, directly covering most of the battlefield.
The scorching heat at the center of the explosion even turned several Naga into charred remains on the spot!
This wave of collective bombardment killed at least twenty Naga on the spot and injured forty or fifty Naga, greatly reducing the overall combat strength.
Their legion skills were also aborted halfway and could no longer be used.
"Good, good, good, as expected of the bombing squad I built with a huge investment."
"That's incredibly powerful!"
Shen Xing was very satisfied with the performance of the Lesser Demon Legion; those hundreds of soul stones were well spent!
The firepower of eleven lesser demons is even more terrifying than that of a hundred skeleton archers.
Even Xia Wanyin, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but look at it with surprise, marveling at the powerful destructive force of this type of soldier.
After this bombardment, the Naga army's morale plummeted, while the orcs, as if injected with adrenaline, roared and charged at the enemy.
The battle line advanced again, and large numbers of enemies were cut down.
At this rate, it's only a matter of time before all the Naga are wiped out.
The other main battlefield.
A level 8 Hellscream versus a level 9 Naga Priest.
Although Hellscream was one level lower than his opponent in both level and potential, he held his own against the odds thanks to the extra dozens of Agility points from [Sacrifice Evolution].
The two supreme beings clashed, their double-edged battle axes and spears colliding repeatedly, fighting to the very edge of the universe, until even the Great Dao was obliterated.
Just then, the Naga priest suddenly straightened up, and a dense aura of darkness surged from her body.
He grabbed the spear surrounded by dark energy with both hands and yanked it with all his might!
With a "thud," Hellroar was thrown more than ten meters away by the enormous force, crashing heavily onto the shallows.
"Wasteful humans!"
The Naga priest noticed the battlefield on the other side, where her people were being slaughtered, and her eyes immediately turned red.
"Awaken, my people!"
As she chanted in a low voice, the Blackwater River behind her surged violently, and dark shadows rose rapidly from the riverbed!
Immediately afterwards, a large number of Dark Nagas broke through the water's surface and rapidly approached the battlefield.
Among them was a giant Naga with a powerful aura, standing nearly three meters tall, wielding a jet-black battle axe.
Dark Naga War Puppet
[Level: 9]
[Potential: Leader ★]
...
"Holy crap, another leader-level powerhouse?"
Shen Xing was shocked, not expecting that these Nagas had such a powerful trump card.
Fortunately, I had made thorough preparations before leaving home, otherwise I would have been caught off guard.
"Bloodhowl, are you sure you have any problems handing this leader over to me?" Shen Xing asked.
Upon hearing this, Gorehowl, who was charging through the Naga army, immediately patted his chest and assured them, "No problem! If Grom Hellscream can do it, so can I!"
With that, he spurred the elite second-tier constellation wolf beneath him to accelerate rapidly, charging towards the Naga war puppet.
He held the huge long-handled axe diagonally in his hand, and the moment he got close to the enemy, he swung it down fiercely!
"Ding!"
The Naga War Puppet instinctively raised its axe to block, but was still thrown away by the enormous force and was taken out of the battlefield.
Bloodhowl accelerated again and pounced on the leader-level expert, and the two clashed.
On the other side, the orc legions and the light elf legions also encountered the second wave of Naga who landed on the shore and began to fight head-on.
at the same time.
Hellscream, who was fighting against the Dark Naga Priest, was now in a fierce battle.
When the Snow White Naga enters its berserk form, both its speed and strength increase dramatically.
The jet-black spears, like deadly raindrops, kept stabbing out, faster and more viciously than ever before!
Even Hellscream couldn't withstand this fierce attack, and several bloody holes were pierced in his body.
Shen Xing, who was watching the battle, shook his head: "In the end, it's only an elite three-star creature. The gap between it and a leader-level creature is too big."
However, he wasn't disappointed. After all, Hellroar's ability to fight such a powerful opponent alone for so long, even at a higher level, was enough to prove his strength.
If it were another elite three-star unit, it might be defeated in just a few rounds.
Just as Shen Xing was about to offer his assistance, he heard a resolute voice from the beastman.
"As the lord once said, a true warrior must possess a heart that constantly strives for improvement!"
The blue mark between Hellscream's brows glowed, and his eyes shone with unwavering resolve: "I will not lose! I will fight on and lead the orcs to victory!"
As the words fell, a completely different aura suddenly emanated from the orc.
[Ding! Your territory unit 'Hellroar' has gained enlightenment during battle, activating a new talent: 'Heart of the Warrior']
[Heart of the Warrior: For each Orc on the field, increases 'Hellroar's' four main attributes by 1%, up to a maximum increase of 30%.]
This talent is a growth-type talent.
(Note: You can never defeat me, because the entire tribe stands behind me.)
