Lords of the Heavens

Chapter 290 Battle in the Wilderness
"Reserve combat units, prepare to enter the battlefield!"

Liang Yuzhi's voice echoed throughout the building once again; it was time for Nelson, Lennox, Allen, and other free citizens to join the fight.

Even at this point, Liang Yuzhi had no intention of bringing Li Feng and Liang Yuying up from the third underground level.

Although she was certain that, given the basement's defense standards, no mutated creature could currently breach it.

But that's what she decided. It wasn't to cause any trouble, but to cover for Li Wei.

Li Wei never mentioned what he was going to do next, but Liang Yuzhi and Li Yue had actually guessed it.

If they cannot provide direct support through actions, they will certainly offer their full support in other ways.

It is important that the headquarters cannot confirm Li Wei's true combat strength. Perhaps Li Wei only just realized this, but they have known it for a long time.

After switching to the Flame Baron title, Li Wei, having acquired two Destiny Resonance Weapons and two Enchantment Weapons, is actually only slightly inferior to Li Yue in terms of overall combat power.

So the headquarters made a complete misjudgment. Whether it was Liang Yuying from the Resources Department or Li Feng from the Logistics Department, they were dreaming. They wanted Li Wei to back down and give up this rare opportunity. Wasn't that bullying him?

Therefore, we cannot let them know Li Wei's true strength, nor can we let them guess Li Wei's true intentions. Otherwise, if they have some special prop cards and cause some trouble, it would be a loss.

Because what Li Wei needs in this battle is to strike unexpectedly and catch the enemy off guard!
"Quickly! Everyone, don't panic! A mage is giving us buffs. The radiation poison is nothing to worry about. Just continue with your usual training!"

Nelson and Lenos stood at the entrance of the building, directing the Free People to their battle positions. There were 150 of them in total, all of whom had already obtained 2+2 professional cards. Among them, 108 were former junior ability users with relatively higher attributes, similar to Marks two or three times their junior counterparts.

Under normal circumstances, they would not be qualified to leave underground protective facilities and enter the surface to fight during a high-yield radiation storm.

However, with ample blood resistance potions and Liang Yuzhi's Light Magic buff, sustaining the battle for an hour or two is truly effortless.

Their weapons were simple: spears, lances, shields, or snipers carrying lead alloy boxes. Under such radiation, once outside the protection of the lead alloy boxes, any bullet would become unfireable within tens of seconds.

Fortunately, after fifteen years of the apocalypse, any Tom, Dick, or Harry who has survived to this day is actually a seasoned warrior.

They wouldn't scream when they saw the mutated creatures on the city wall, because they had seen them before.

Furthermore, the light magic provides a clear and bright view, and there is no need to worry about radiation and blood plague toxins for the time being, not to mention that there are powerful friendly units in front to hold the line.

What else can I do?
It's nothing more than killing.

"boom!"

On the eastern city wall, Thomas, wielding an enchanted tower shield, activated the Builder title and blocked a mutated black dog as large as a tiger. The dog's sharp claws could even leave three claw marks on his enchanted tower shield in an instant, reducing its enchantment durability by five points.

The good news is that the mutated black dog was killed by Benjamin and Havel in a joint effort the moment it was blocked.

A four-star mutated creature!
The light from the fallen universal gold card was dazzling, shining like stars in the night.

This is the best trap to attract most mutant creatures.

In fact, Thomas had three universal gold cards behind him at this moment, which is why this place became the first point of attack for most high-level supernatural beings.

Otherwise, with that level four mutated black dog just now, who could stop it with its terrifying killing power, abnormal speed and agility?
They can easily stir up a bloodbath!

"Meow!"

A loud meow rang out, and Thomas only saw a blur, but it wasn't coming towards him; it was another bridgehead thirty meters away, Mark!
He also has two universal gold cards on his side as bait.

mark?

Thomas was a little worried; the mutated giant cat was even faster than the mutated black dog.

However, he really didn't need to worry, because before Mark could even move while holding the tower shield, a sword shadow had already slashed down sharply, neither too fast nor too slow, perfectly severing the big cat's head in two, like the most elegant executioner.

It's Lyon!
It's a decapitation finishing move!

This is also the biggest difference between them and the free people soldiers.

The biggest reason why Benjamin, Santiago, and Javier were able to defeat Leon was that Leon simply couldn't unleash his decapitation finishing move on his own people.

Looking back at Lyon five months ago, his decapitation finishing move was so immature, naive, and full of artifice. It was sharp but lacked tactical flexibility, and even Thomas could see its flaws.

At that time, Lyon could only hide behind the Shieldbearer and wait for an opportunity, like a kitten waiting for a mouse to come to its door for food.

Without a suitable opportunity and without the cooperation of allies, he simply cannot unleash his decapitation finishing move.

In the blink of an eye, five months have passed, and Lyon has finally been transformed.

While Thomas was secretly marveling at this, Liang Yuzhi, who had already conjured a small fireball on the rooftop, also secretly praised him a little.

Although he is still several times less capable than Li Wei than He Yuying, this Lyon is indeed capable of standing on his own.

This is a sign that your destiny is about to improve and your hidden attributes are about to be activated.

Given time, this little piece of trash, and that little piece of trash, and that little piece of trash over there, will all have a chance to embark on cross-border missions. Indeed, my precious nephew is the real treasure.

Those who are near vermilion become red, those who are near ink become black, and even those who are near treasures can make use of waste.

The situation here is stable!
Liang Yuzhi gazed into the darkness, but even she couldn't penetrate it to see where Li Yue, Li Wei, and the others were. This was not only because it was nighttime, but also because the chaotic and uncontrolled magical particles brought by the radiation storm at 180% difficulty obscured her senses and inspiration.

Of course, this is also the perfect paradise for spellcasters to sort out and absorb chaotic magical particles. As long as there are enough strong enough soldiers to hold off all kinds of mutated creatures, she can usually advance to the second-tier spellcasting witch level with just ten perfect opportunities.

But it's easier said than done. Not to mention, the special bosses that inevitably appear on the highest difficulty level are not easy to deal with!
Meanwhile, outside the town shrouded in darkness, led by Li Yue and illuminated by that light, Li Wei and his six companions had already chased after the enemy for a full ten miles.

That special BOSS, the Giant Python Knight, was far too cunning and lacked any martial ethics. It didn't stop at all and ran away immediately, forcing them to follow closely behind. At this point, there was no choice or room for retreat.

Although all the mutated creatures fled in panic wherever the giant python rider went, not daring to approach within a kilometer, Li Wei and Li Yue could feel that this guy was like an old cat playing with a mouse.

Its cold, evil snake eyes swept over Li Wei and the others, clearly discerning their strength.

This is a truly intelligent and calm fellow.

Finally, after running for about five miles, the giant python rider stopped. It was probably certain that Liang Yuzhi could not catch up or provide support at this distance.

It was determined to devour this group of people, and after it had eaten them all, it would then go and eat the spellcaster.

sizzle!
The giant python knight slowly turned around, its five five-colored giant pythons flicking their tongues. The main body of the snakes were these five mutated giant pythons.

Yes, they are the true knights.

The person below is the mount.

"Li Yue, you little slut, why wasn't it you who died!"

Li Guishan's familiar curses rang out again. This was a curse, and one that had been set in motion long ago. Li Yue, as a core family member, was the first to be affected and could not escape it.

At this moment, even Li Yue, with her abilities, trembled instantly and fell into a brief state of numbness and confusion!
Almost simultaneously, Zhao Guozhu flashed forward, now wielding an enchanted heavy shield. With a single strike, he repelled an attacking dark green python. At the same time, Old John drew his bow and fired a shot, blasting the python's eye out of its eye.

At the same time, Annie was also firing shots.

Li Wei was the same; he didn't perform particularly well because the time wasn't right. He needed to continue playing dumb, and there was really no need for him to attract hatred.

Sure enough, the next second, a flash of white light appeared on Li Yue's body, dispelling the light. In an instant, she darted forward and launched a brave charge against the giant python knight!

Cross cut!
Li Yue's move should also be a kind of finishing move, with immense power, capable of instantly traversing a distance of tens of meters, and even forming a sword beam several inches long on the tip of the sword, which is truly magical.

But what happened next was even more surreal.

Li Yue's cross slash landed on the giant python knight, but it was as if she had struck thin air. The giant python knight's figure rippled like water a few times and then disappeared. Immediately afterward, the real giant python knight appeared in another direction.

The giant black python was like a huge tree root, slamming directly into the ground and burrowing into the earth. Instantly, a strange magical fluctuation could be felt, accompanied by a rumbling sound, and huge, several-meter-high, sharp rock spikes pierced out under everyone's feet.

This is absolutely killing me!

Although Li Wei sensed the danger beforehand, he still frantically grabbed Zhao Xuanxuan and jumped around, narrowly escaping disaster.

As for Zhao Guozhu, Old John, and even the freelancer Annie, they all managed to dodge easily.

No wonder he's a seasoned veteran player.

Just when everyone thought they had escaped a calamity, even more thick rock spikes emerged from the ground, forming rows of barriers tens of meters high. These barriers could move and combine continuously, while also being accompanied by sharp, meter-high spikes that chased and interfered with them from all directions.

This time, even veteran players like Zhao Guozhu, Old John, and Annie were caught off guard and separated within the rapidly changing maze of spikes.

In no time, apart from Li Yue, who was able to remain outside, Li Wei and the other four were divided into four groups and imprisoned by the giant stalagmite.

Zhao Xuanxuan, on the other hand, was kept by Li Wei the whole time, so at least she wasn't left alone.

However, the key to breaking this deadlock will also lie with Zhao Xuanxuan.

This is less a coincidence and more a testament to the foresight of the second aunt and the tacit understanding between Li Wei, Li Yue, and the others.

When Liang Yuzhi stopped Thomas and Leon but overlooked Zhao Xuanxuan, Li Yue and Li Wei understood her intention.

As for whether Zhao Xuanxuan would follow him, that was never a question. Now, she was willing to die for Li Wei at any time!

Including Thomas and Lyon.

They were all willing to die for Li Wei!

They are no longer simply players participating in missions; they are Li Wei's loyal followers, his core supporters.

It's that simple.
