Tauren Overlord

Just when he finally realized what was about to happen, a rain of death began to fall from the sky.

That was the timer for the rune bomb, the light and agile sound of the death knell.

This weapon of mass destruction must be equipped with a delayed explosion feature to allow the thrower to escape as quickly as possible.

Even though they had already flown hundreds of meters into the air, Aurelia still used the communicator to issue instructions to the golden dragons under her command:

"Everyone rise immediately, the higher the better!"

Most of the golden dragons flapped their wings and flew high at Aurelia's command, constantly increasing their altitude.

But there are a few exceptions - including Aurelia herself, who gave the order.

She flapped her wings reluctantly, but didn't want to fly too high.

If it is too high, it is easy to miss the scene of the enemy's destruction.

If she hadn't been concerned that the explosion of the rune bomb was too damaging to the eyes, she would have even wanted to keep staring at the sea of ​​fire below her.

And everything she expected did not come too late.

Soon after the Golden Dragon troops dropped the rune bombs, dozens of gorgeous explosion centers had already bloomed in the sea of ​​fire.

The blinding light caused the Fierce Demon, who was used to fire, to become blind.

These fire mages certainly don't want to sit and wait for death.

Even though they couldn't see the site of the explosion, they flew quickly to where they thought was safe.

But it was all in vain, as explosions were happening everywhere in the web of death woven by Lu Heng and Jin Long.

Floating in the same place means death, escaping also means death, it doesn’t matter, it’s all the same.

Even if a few Fierce Demons were not killed directly by the rune bombs, they were already exposed in the black scorched earth.

Because the huge shock wave brought by the rune bomb has blown the raging sea of ​​fire away.

All the fierce demons hiding in the wall of fire have nowhere to hide.

However, one of the most powerful fire sorcerers thought of the only solution at the moment when the rune bomb was about to explode.

That is to soar into the sky and find the final way out in the endless sky.

Just before the sea of ​​fire was evaporated by the explosion, Alexis let himself rush straight into the sky.

His whole body was burning with flames, like a meteor falling from the earth to the sky.

At this moment, the former Fierce Demon Commander could no longer care about so many things.

The only thing he wanted to do was to survive, to survive as long as possible!

Perhaps other fierce demons have also thought of this only way to survive, but they can't do it.

The only Fiery Demon who can use the thrust of fire to perfection is Alexis of the fifth rank.

No matter how experienced other pyromancers are, none of them have the ability to transform their bodies into rockets and pierce into deep space.

But even such a powerful fire mage has been stared at by a pair of eyes full of murderous intent and ambition.

The flames of escape climbed up with all their might, and Lu Heng followed him closely with his landing point vision, calculating his trajectory.

At this moment, the relationship between the two is like a tricky penalty kick and a goalkeeper who is giving his all.

This is Alexis' only window to escape and also Lu Heng's only chance to capture him.

If it weren't for the chain explosions of the rune bombs and the blindingly bright light, Alexis wouldn't have flown so straight.

If he missed this opportunity, Lu Heng would have to face Alexis's entire set of extremely skilled fire magic.

It’s hard to say who will win by then.

Therefore, Lu Heng had to concentrate on the trajectory of the flame and quickly choose the location and time to open the portal.

If you open too close, there is a high chance that the door will be smashed by the fast-moving flames before it is fully formed;

If he drove too far, Alexis might suddenly react and avoid the trap.

Once Alexis realized that Lu Heng was doing this, he would immediately become cautious.

Its flight route will most likely change to a zigzag shape or a more complex avoidance route.

So Lu Heng only has one chance! If he misses it, there will be no such possibility again.

In Lu Heng's live broadcast space, members of the Symbiote Alliance were also sweating.

The snake woman Yu Yueniya clasped her hands together and prayed silently for the Minotaur Overlord.

Cat girl Yuli shouted: "Come on! The Minotaur must win!"

Even if Lu Heng might not hear it, she was trying very hard to support the Tauren Overlord.

Outside the live broadcast room where everyone was paying attention, Lu Heng finally gave it a try.

He opened a door in the path that Alexis had to take.

A door that ended his life of sin.

When the Dragon Kingdom was invaded, he had a share;

He also played a role in the invasion of the human kingdom and the massacre of the Taimenian people.

If the above sins were not serious enough, then at least this one would be enough to devour him:

Who asked him to block Lu Heng's way?

Since the world that this fierce demon longs for does not need Lu Heng's existence, he even wants to massacre Lu Heng and his friends.

Then I'm sorry, you can just go die!

The author says:

Author's words: Thanks to [SEERS] for the reward ww

391. The Logic of War

Alexis had imagined more than once various scenarios of the final showdown with the Minotaur Overlord.

For example, when the Bull Orchid Overlord approaches, activate the Flame Sacrifice to ignite the surrounding air.

This would prevent Lu Heng from opening the portal too close to him.

Although casting Fyre Immolation also consumes psionic energy, it is probably less energy intensive than opening portals continuously in a short period of time.

As long as he could defeat the Tauren Overlord, he would become the greatest contributor under the God-Emperor.

Next, you will receive countless unimaginable rewards...

However, this is the logic of fighting, not the logic of war.

According to the logic of war, a "fair" decisive battle has never been the first choice of strategy.

If you can defeat the enemy with a saber, you must not use your bare hands;

If you can knock down the enemy with bullets, don't fight with bayonets;

If you can use artillery to plow the ground to achieve the effect of sniping, there is no need to play with sniper rifles.

So from the very beginning, Lu Heng had no intention of having a one-on-one battle with Alexis, who was of the same level.

What he wanted was to fully mobilize the military potential of the anti-imperialist alliance to achieve the most effective strike effect.

For example, the Rune Craftsmen who were rescued from the Empire's siege before can be asked to make Rune Bombs;

If the production line lacks materials, let the necromancer, whose home was also destroyed by the Fierce Demon, go to the North to mine;

These minerals will also be refined by craftsmen including dwarves, catmen, and ratmen, and quickly put into production;

After the rune bomb is created, it will be released by a golden dragon that has long had a deep hatred for the empire.

If these forces that resist the empire are listed individually, each one is no match for the empire.

But one of Lu Heng's major roles is to bring these scattered forces together into one.

The reason why Alexis cannot open his eyes is entirely the result of the joint efforts of craftsmen of various races, necromancers and the golden dragon.

When he finally felt the explosion beneath him stop, he quickly opened his eyes.

Because he also realized such a possibility:

Rushing into the sky can indeed avoid the bombing of rune bombs, but what if the Minotaur Overlord plots against him in the air?

However, as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw that a portal had indeed opened in the air!

He wanted to run, but he was so eager to escape that he flew too fast and had no time to turn!

Although he was not defeated by Lu Heng alone, at this moment, Alexis had already lost everything.

He used the last of his brain power to think whether he could perform some kind of death-defying magic that would result in both of them dying.

But he had too little time to think!

Under the huge effect of inertia, it took him only more than a second to rush into Lu Heng's portal.

Just like that, the strongest demon crashed into the infinitely cold void, where it disintegrated and dissipated...

Lu Heng's progress towards the sixth level has finally made another step forward, and he is only one level away from the fifth level.

After he was truly promoted to the sixth level, he was the only one who could be on the same level as the Divine Emperor.

From this perspective, Lu Heng really has to thank Alexis, this key stepping stone.

As for the remaining fierce demons, they were also having a hard time.

As the rising sea of ​​fire was blown away by the shock wave of the rune bomb, they had nowhere to hide.

The huge air waves also pointed directly at the sky, but with the strength of the golden dragon scales, it was not afraid of this hurricane at all.

Then, the golden dragons led by Aurelia swooped down and continued to annihilate the remaining fiery demons.

If they were dealing with the Fierce Demon Legion in its prime, they would be at a great disadvantage in numbers.

But now it’s different, they only need to deal with the few that escaped among the Fierce Demons.

Especially the Golden Dragon Queen, her flame of revenge is particularly scorching, and it even has the ability to turn and track.

There were dozens of fierce demons who had just escaped death, and they were quickly killed one by one by the golden dragons that descended from the sky.

As the rune bomb extinguished the sea of ​​fire, the originally closed southern road became completely open.

This also fulfilled another little wish of Lu Heng.

He certainly didn't want the border forest between the Sea Alliance and Luna Court to be engulfed in flames.

Because the southern border of the Sea Alliance is adjacent to the mountainous area where there is the least shortage of trees.

Although Lu Heng continued to expand along the way and his territory became larger and larger, this land has always been the place where he made his fortune.

He still had feelings for that land, and he absolutely could not sit idly by and watch it turn into a sea of ​​fire.

Next, it was time for the remnants of the Haijian army, which had been fighting for so long, to come to a place where they could rest temporarily.

Lu Heng didn't plan to let them all gather together as it would put too much pressure on logistics.

If they could be deployed in places like the Mountain Territory, Artemisia Town and Thessaloniki City, the pressure would not be so great.

Anyway, the South is blessed with the Cloud of Life, and all regions are enjoying good harvests, so it is not unable to withstand the casualties from the North.

So Lu Heng told Khaleesi to lead her entire army south and not to get entangled with the imperial army.

In the Fantasy Live Studio, Goblin couldn't help but marvel at Lu Heng's operation:

"Great Minotaur Overlord, what an astonishing decision..."

Battle Sister Diana was eagerly awaiting her chance to play:

"We can't let the dragon clan take all the limelight. When will it be the harpy witch's turn?"

Also eager to try were the ratmen and minotaurs, who were obviously inspired by the golden dragon's outstanding battle.

Lu Heng did intend to let them perform, so he gave the order directly in the illusion:
