Slime Immortal.

Chapter 154: Against the General

Seeing the formation begin to change, Chen Yu decided to cause them some trouble. He gently touched a sturdy magic pea sprout next to him with his gel body.

[Every bush and tree seems like an enemy soldier]

[Promotes growth]

When Taoist magic and innate talent are used simultaneously, it's like a few tinderboxes igniting a raging fire.

Om-!
A burst of emerald green light surged, and the magic pea sprouts seemed to be endowed with wild vitality, expanding and mutating at an astonishing speed.

Its roots suddenly burst out of the soil, twisting and twisting to form a structure resembling legs, while the main stem became thicker and the top few huge leaves waved like arms.

The already large pea pods now resembled battering rams, their surfaces displaying rough wood grain patterns. The pods were slightly open, revealing magical peas inside, each comparable to a catapult projectile.

The activated Pea Shooter emitted a wood-scratching hum, then strode down the city wall on its root-like "legs," charging towards the chaotic mercenary ranks below.

Eat my super magic peas!

Under Chen Yu's control, the pod at its top sprayed out giant peas with far greater power than before, like a catapult firing in rapid succession, bombarding the mercenary lines.

The elves were surprised to see this unexpected scene.

Temporarily activate plants into war puppets and enhance their properties...

Isn't this just a Druid?

This Slime King seems to know a little bit about everything.

"Hold on, it's just a fragile plant. Focus fire on it." Calvin's voice remained calm as he swiftly gave the order.

Several mages immediately turned to the rampaging giant pea and cast spells to stop it.

Meanwhile, the earth elemental giant behind them, which was constantly firing cannons, was met with concentrated fire from the mercenaries.

Magic arrows and energy projectiles bombarded its rocky body and metal components, sending debris flying everywhere.

The earth elemental giant was too big and moved slowly, so it couldn't escape for a while. Clearly, the elves' fears had come true.

"Ouch! That hurts!"

"We can't win. The boss said, if you can't win, run!"

"Let's get out of here, brothers, let's go!"

Several panicked "ee-yah" sounds came from inside the giant.

The next second, to the astonishment of the mercenaries, the massive earth elemental giant disintegrated like building blocks.

Instantly, it decomposed into a large number of agile earth elements, which burrowed into the ground with a thud and disappeared without a trace, leaving only broken stones scattered on the ground.

"...They ran away?" A mercenary stared blankly at the ground.

This sudden disintegration and withdrawal caused the mercenaries' newly organized concentrated fire against the giants to instantly fail, and the formation once again experienced an uncoordinated pause.

Calvin frowned slightly; the other party's difficulty and slipperiness had clearly exceeded his expectations.

But the battle situation did not allow for a moment's hesitation. Without the slightest hesitation, he took out two expensive scrolls from his pocket as his trump cards and tore them open.

Bloodlust Technique

The Bear's Resilience

"Quickly, use your trump card!" Calvin roared, bathed in blood-red light.

"Yes!" The mercenaries did not hesitate and simultaneously took out two scrolls and tore them open.

boom!
Dark red and earthen yellow magical radiance erupted simultaneously, enveloping the entire mercenary group.

The eyes of all the mercenaries instantly became bloodshot, their muscles bulged, and they felt a violent power surging within their bodies, while their physiques also became exceptionally resilient.

Their bloodlust and enhanced survival skills fueled their wild battle cries.

"Roar!! For the gold coins! Crush them!"

Morale was forcibly boosted by the spell's effect, even surpassing its previous peak.

The mercenaries roared like wild beasts and launched a fierce counterattack against the giant pea, undeterred by the prospect of casualties.

With the enhancement spell, the mercenaries, like crazed beasts, withstood the pressure and, after suffering several casualties, finally managed to cut the rampaging pea monster into pieces with weapons imbued with anti-magic properties. Green sap and broken pods scattered all over the ground.

Once the crisis was over, Calvin was immediately faced with two choices: either retreat or continue the attack.

But he knew perfectly well that he and these mercenaries had no way out at this moment.

If they choose to retreat, not only will the huge sums of money invested in the early stages be lost, but the morale of the mercenary group will also collapse, and they may suffer even more severe losses during the retreat.

He had no choice but to grit his teeth and command his troops to barely maintain their formation, enduring the harassing bombardment from the earth elemental giants while continuing their arduous advance towards the city walls, attempting to breach this damned fortress in one fell swoop.

At the same time, his sense of unease grew stronger.

He remembered the intelligence mentioning an undead knight, but he had yet to appear...

Either the goblin's intelligence was seriously flawed, or these monsters have a trump card up their sleeve.

Either way, it's absolutely terrible.

His gaze met once again with the green slime behind the crenellations of the city wall, and the feeling that it seemed to be completely seen through made him extremely uncomfortable.

Do they really have some trump cards up their sleeve?
Just then, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of movement. The heavy city gate in front of them, which had been tightly closed, slowly opened a crack with a dull creak.

An intense sense of crisis instantly gripped Calvin's heart.

"not good!!"

He roared a warning, "The city gate! Watch out for the city gate!"

“Hmph!!!”

A muffled, thunderous panting sound came from the crack in the door, followed by a massive figure exuding a terrifying aura suddenly bursting open the city gate.

It was Peiqi who rushed out.

Its thick nostrils spewed out scorching white steam, its massive body was like an out-of-control chariot, and its two ferocious fangs pointed straight ahead. With an unstoppable and savage momentum, it charged towards the mercenary ranks.

At that moment, it was as if the earth itself was trembling.

"withstand!"

"Heavy Shield Team! Hold it!!"

The heavily armored warriors in the front row let out a desperate shout, plunging their tower shields deep into the ground and pressing their bodies against the ground, while simultaneously activating their protective scrolls without hesitation.

The next moment, Peggy slammed into the shield wall like a mountain.

boom--! ! !
Amidst a deafening roar, the outermost layer of magical protection shattered instantly, as if made of paper.

The two heavily armored warriors at the front were thrown off the ground by the terrifying force, their shields spitting out blood as they crashed heavily into the crowd behind them.

"Quickly! Fill the gap! Stop it!" Calvin roared.

The heavily armored warriors in the back row immediately gritted their teeth and stepped forward, using their shields and bodies to hold off Peggy's subsequent attacks, barely stopping the beast's momentum and preventing their formation from being broken in one blow.

However, just as all the mercenaries' attention was drawn to the terrifying giant boar, a smaller figure leaped off Peggy's broad back and glided over the mercenary ranks.

That's Little Card.

It opened its mouth, and a dazzling red light shone from deep within its throat.

"boom!"

A scorching breath of lava poured down like a waterfall of fire, precisely drenching the area behind the formation where mages and ranged classes were gathered.

“Ahhhh——!!”

A series of piercing screams rang out instantly. Several mages who hadn't had time to cast protective spells were instantly engulfed in flames, turning into writhing, screaming figures of fire.

The archers in the surrounding area were also burned by the scorching heat and splashing lava, and their formation was thrown into chaos.

"Then...what is that?!"

"Wings, breath?!"

"It's a dragon! It's a wyvern! They actually have wyvern units!" Terrified screams rose and fell.

The fear instilled by dragons, even those with diluted bloodlines, is deeply ingrained in the genetic memory of many creatures.

The morale that had been boosted by the enhancement spell plummeted like a punctured airbag. Many mercenaries turned pale, trembled, and instinctively tried to run away.

"Damn it!"

For the first time, Calvin's expression showed a clear loss of composure.

A dragon? Is that a unit that an A-level bounty target could possibly have?!

The intelligence was completely wrong!

Those damn goblins gave us false information.

Damn it!

No, we can't wait any longer for that potential undead knight. If this continues, our formation will collapse. We must turn the tide immediately.

A fierce fighting spirit flashed in his eyes. He suddenly pushed off the back of the swamp salamander and shot into the sky like an arrow.

At the same time, the air behind him distorted, and the faint phantom of a gray eagle with sharp eyes and wings outstretched as if about to take flight appeared.

Gray Eagle.

This is the original belief of the Douglas family knights, and also their proudest emblem.

This signifies that the knight has passed the family's most rigorous Grayhawk Trial and has officially become a Grayhawk Knight.

This power once made him proud, but it also made him ashamed because of his "betrayal." He once vowed never to use this power, which originated from his bloodline and honor, again.

But at this moment, he had no choice but to fight for victory.

Calvin rose into the air, and the power of the wind seemed to gather around him and submit to him.

Holding a knight's longsword, he charged straight at Xiao Ka, who was trying to breathe dragon fire in the air, as if riding a whirlwind.

However, Xiao Lai dodged his several slashes with agility, and they missed.

He finally stopped holding back his strength.

Gray Eagle Slash

"Get out of here!"

He roared and swung his longsword, unleashing a violent blue storm that lashed out at Xiao Ka like the claws of a giant eagle.

Feeling a deadly threat, Little Ka panicked and bit the magic leaf he was holding in his mouth.

A thick, earthen-yellow shield instantly unfolded.

boom! ! !
The cyan storm slammed into the shield, producing a teeth-grinding cutting sound. The shield shattered in less than a second, and the remaining storm power pounded heavily on Xiao Ka.

"Woo..."

Little Ka let out a mournful cry, lost his balance, and was slammed down from the air, breaking several tree branches before falling into the woods to the side, temporarily losing his ability to fight.

At this moment, the little earth elemental was engaged in a fierce gunfight with the mercenaries.

"Shoot him! Shoot him now!"

"Hahaha! I hit it! Was my aim good or not!"

"Boss, did you see that? I hit him!"

Inside the giant came the excited shouts of the little earth elementals, but they soon saw Little Ka lying motionless not far from them.

"what?"

"That... isn't that the guy who was breathing fire earlier?"

"Teammate! Our teammate has been knocked down!"

"Quick, save our teammates! Let's get out of here!"

The earth elemental giant immediately dispersed, and the little earth elemental landed on the ground. They hurriedly lifted up the dizzy little card, took off running, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

"To unleash a storm with bare hands and knock down Kawhi Leonard?"

"Is this the true strength of elite professionals?" Chen Yu was slightly surprised when he saw this, but fortunately, the magic leaves blocked the way, and Xiao Ka was unharmed.

Seeing Calvin go all out and almost turn the tide of the battle single-handedly, Iselin's expression turned serious.

"The Grey Hawk of the Douglas family... A once illustrious knightly family in the White Horse Kingdom, renowned for its family tradition of the 'Grey Hawk Trial' and its ability to control the wind."

"Be careful, this knight is not easy to deal with."

"knight?"

Chen Yu hopped around and turned to look at the undead knight waiting for orders in the corner.

“Arthur, go and test his strength.”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Arthur, who had been sitting quietly in the shadows of the corner of the city wall, slowly stood up after hearing the order.

The ghostly blue flames in his eyes flickered steadily as his gaze quickly locked onto the knight who had just landed below the city wall, his body still surrounded by subtle currents of energy.

He silently picked up the gleaming bone spear and walked step by step toward the battlements.

The cold metal soles of the boots struck the stone bricks, producing a steady and rhythmic sound that stood out clearly amidst the shouts of battle.

The next moment, he leaped off the city wall.

Calvin had just swept away a few annoying stinging wasps with his sword when his battle-hardened intuition suddenly sounded a sharp alarm.

A sharp killing intent, carrying the aura of death, swept over from above.

Without a second thought, his body reacted instinctively, abruptly raising his knight's longsword and holding it horizontally above his head, while the wind flowing around him instantly condensed.

clang! ! !
A deafening metallic explosion rang out.

The bone spear, burning with a ghostly blue flame, slammed into his blade with a force and angle of impact that Calvin found familiar.

The immense impact caused the swamp salamander beneath him to let out a painful hiss, its four legs sinking sharply into the mud.

Sparks flew as the eerie blue flames clashed violently with the cyan wind.

Calvin's arms bulged with muscle as he braced himself against the heavy blow, using the shock to pull himself back slightly, his gaze instantly locking onto the attacker.

A ghost knight clad in tattered knight armor, with soul fire flickering in his eye sockets, appeared in his line of sight.

Calvin was taken aback at first, then his gaze was drawn to the emblem on the other's breastplate, whose outline could be vaguely discerned, as if by a magnet.

—Crossed swords, a proud frost wolf.

Arevalo!

His pupils contracted sharply, and his hand holding the sword trembled slightly.

A name immediately popped into his mind.

A name he thought had long been buried in the dust of the border.

In an instant, shock, disbelief, indescribable guilt, and even more anger and frustration fermented over the years intertwined and violently struck his mind.

“Arthur?!” Calvin growled.

"You persistent ghost, how come you still won't rest in peace even in this grotesque state?!"

"Why did you have to wait until I gave up everything and was ready to escape from here before you suddenly appeared here? Why?!"

Faced with Calvin's questioning, Arthur remained silent for a moment, his skull tilting slightly as if trying to retrieve his long-broken memories.

Finally, he said, puzzled:
"you are?"
