Nascent Soul Rebirth: Starting as a Wizard

The heavy warhammer and the spiked mace with armor-piercing spikes, one on the left and one on the right, slammed down on the relatively vulnerable sides of the stone scorpion's head like a blacksmith forging it!

"Bang! Crack!"

The carapace shattered completely, and the internal energy core exploded under the impact, with green liquid mixed with broken crystals scattering everywhere.

The stone scorpion's struggle came to an abrupt end.

From Gareth's sudden attack to Stone Scorpion's death, only a few breaths passed.

There are no fancy techniques, only the terrifying, absolute power of a seasoned knight burning his life seed to crush everything in his path!

The right wing, commanded by Brendan Sr., presented a different style, still steady and methodical, but equally full of power.

They formed a group of three and faced a six-meter-tall stone beast that was charging around recklessly, but they did not confront it head-on.

With a low shout, the leading veteran and the three men simultaneously ignited their life seeds, their blood and qi intertwined, their movements perfectly synchronized.

Three heavy warhammers struck the same leg joint of the stone beast simultaneously from three different angles!

"Thump! Thump! Thump!"

The three muffled thuds almost overlapped.

The stone beast's thick rock leg armor was instantly covered with cracks under the concentrated attack. Its supporting leg went weak, and its huge body lost its balance, crashing to one side and kicking up a cloud of dust.

Before it could struggle to its feet, two other groups of knights were already waiting at its side, and more warhammers and blunt weapons fell like iron being struck.

It struck precisely at the exposed head, neck, and joints after the creature fell to the ground, quickly and completely ending its life.

Their efficiency may not be as violent and direct as Gareth's, but this seamless teamwork and brute force tactic still demonstrates the powerful destructive force that the knights possess after burning their life seeds.

The knights truly demonstrated their strength as the core defensive force of the base.

After burning their life seeds, their power may be slightly inferior to that of trolls, but their skills, speed, teamwork, and equipment are far superior.

More importantly, they know how to find and attack weaknesses, and how to preserve themselves and eliminate the enemy on the battlefield.

With each swing of the warhammer, it struck precisely into the joints of the rock creatures; the mace fell, targeting the weak points where the carapaces met; and the armor-piercing axe cleaved, often choosing areas with natural patterns or that had been wounded.

The knights are efficient and deadly in combat; often, two or three of them working together can take down a medium-sized rock creature in just a few breaths.

The troll's pressure decreased dramatically.

Under the cover and tactical guidance of the knights, they no longer blindly traded injuries for injuries, but began to consciously cooperate with the knights.

Using their massive bodies and shields to block the impact creates opportunities for the knights to attack.

The tide of battle began to turn, and the advance of the rock creatures was halted.

However, the real threat only just began to emerge.

Three enormous creatures suddenly fell from the sky. Each of them was over twelve meters long and over five meters tall at the shoulder, resembling a moving rock fortress.

Unlike their previous grayish counterparts, these three behemoths had a dark, iron-like metallic sheen on their shells, and their surfaces were covered with naturally formed, rune-like, intricate patterns.

What's most alarming is that their backs and joints are covered with clusters of crystal-like formations of all sizes, shimmering with a cold luster!

Energy crystallization! Although it has not yet reached the highest level of crystallization, it is already a powerful individual that is close to the threshold!

"Crystal Cluster Stone Lizards! At least three!" Gareth's voice was grave. "This is troublesome. These things have ridiculously hard shells and some elemental resistance."

"Trolls, retreat! Reorganize the shield wall and block their frontal assault!" Solo immediately ordered. "Knights, form a wedge formation with me at the forefront! Target—the one on the left! Concentrate your forces and take one down first!"

The command was executed swiftly.

Despite their numerous wounds, the trolls were highly obedient and immediately huddled together, forming a thick green wall of flesh in front of them with their tattered shields and bodies.

They do not seek to kill the enemy, but only to hinder and deplete their strength.

The forty-seven knights quickly gathered behind Solo, forming a sharp charging formation.

Solo was at the very front, with Gareth and Brandon on the left and right wings, respectively, positioned slightly behind.

"Charge!" Solo roared, charging forward first.

The three-headed crystal cluster stone lizard also spotted the rushing "little bugs" and the one on the left let out a low roar, like the grinding of rocks.

It lowered its head, aimed its thick skull, covered with spikes and crystal clusters, at the charging knights, and charged forward fiercely!

The other two attempted to flank the enemy from the side.

"Scatter!" Solo shouted sharply just before the impact.

The well-trained knights immediately parted to the sides, like water being cleaved by a sharp blade.

Solo did not dodge. His eyes flashed with a sharp light, and the Seed of Life burned wildly with unprecedented intensity, the light of his blood and qi almost solidified.

At the same time, the surging and pure martial arts internal energy within his body also circulated rapidly, strangely intertwining with life energy and pouring into his arms and warhammer.

Instead of slowing down, he accelerated forward!

Just as the giant lizard's skull was about to hit him, he pushed off the ground with both feet, and his whole body shot up into the air like an arrow!

The giant lizard's charge swept past his feet, the resulting stench stinging his face.

However, just as Solo was suspended in mid-air, his old strength exhausted and his new strength yet to be generated, the seemingly clumsy giant tail of the crystal cluster stone lizard suddenly swept back at an odd angle!

This attack was insidious and swift, as if it had anticipated his evasive trajectory. The massive rock tail, as thick as a siege pillar, swept solidly into Solo's side, accompanied by heavy wind pressure!

"Bang--!"

A dull, heart-stopping thud rang out!

Solo was like a stone thrown by a catapult, instantly changing direction and turning into a blurry afterimage as he shot backward like a cannonball towards the city wall behind him!

Wherever he went, several troll slaves who were rebuilding their defenses were caught off guard and were hit hard by this sudden "human cannonball"!

A series of dull thuds, the cracking of bones, and the troll's painful groans rang out.

Solo continued his momentum and finally slammed his back heavily against the solid base of the limestone defensive wall with a loud "boom"!

The wall trembled violently, and countless dust and gravel fell down. His figure was even slightly embedded in the hard rock foundation.

It stopped its backward momentum and slowly slid to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

All of this happened so fast. From the moment Solo leaped up to being swept away, knocked over the troll, and slammed into the wall, it was only a breath or two!

"Commander!" Gareth roared hoarsely, his eyes wide with fury.

The other knights who witnessed this scene were even more shocked, as if an invisible hand had gripped their hearts.

The new commander's stunning surprise attack and leap were still fresh in everyone's mind, but in the blink of an eye, he was so violently knocked away, his fate unknown!
