"Here it cos! Ahead is the Holy Court's main city, get ready!"
On top of the Bone Dragon, Shi Lipeng raised his right hand high.
He had already received the news—various legions of the Holy Court had gathered in advance, assembling a significant defensive force stationed in the main city.
Winning this battle would be difficult.
But not impossible!
Shi Lipeng glanced down at the army of players following closely behind the Licker horde.
No matter what he had said earlier about feigning an attack to give Fang Heng a chance, in reality, he desperately wanted to lead his team and strike at the Holy Court's headquarters.
Completely wipe out the Holy Court's headquarters!
The players joining this battle were all carefully selected elites, with levels that had already reached the advanced stage of the ga.
The primary role of these players was to participate in the final siege!
It was a gamble!
A test of strength!
Take the Holy Court's main city!
While Shi Lipeng was contemplating, below, the Licker horde had already gone into a frenzy, charging toward the main city up ahead.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The Holy Court's city walls unleashed a barrage of holy spells, covering the battlefield with blinding flashes. Nurous spells struck the Licker horde, causing massive explosions.
The Licker's charge formation was shattered ti and ti again, disrupted by the relentless onslaught.
This was bad.
Shi Lipeng observed the battle, his brow furrowed.
The defense of the Holy Court's main city was stronger than he had anticipated!
The Holy Light barrier and nurous rippling spells were blocking the Licker horde's advances, throwing them back. anwhile, priests stationed on the city walls targeted the Lickers, systematically dealing damage with precise fire points.
Though slow, the Lickers were indeed being gradually worn down.
It was clear that the Holy Court had prepared well for this attack.
Shi Lipeng's heart sank. He raised his dark knight long sword high and shouted, "Everyone, follow ! Attack!"
"Yes!"
In the sky, Shi Lipeng led the Bone Dragon team into the battle!
On the city walls, Holy Court commanders had been on high alert for the arrival of the Bone Dragon.
As soon as the Bone Dragon entered range, several divine skills were launched at it!
Holy ripples exploded upon striking the Bone Dragon's massive fra.
However, the Bone Dragon's enormous body withstood the damage, and from a distance, it exhaled waves of corrupt dragon's breath towards the defensive barriers outside the city.
"Boom!!!"
The black mist of the Bone Dragon's breath slamd into the Holy Court's defensive barrier, causing the entire shield to shudder violently.
"The Bone Dragon is indeed a terrifying undead creature," the Archbishop of the domain muttered as he stared at the Bone Dragon in the sky.
Shi Lipeng realized that a single attack was insufficient to destroy the defensive barrier. As the Bone Dragons were exposed to concentrated enemy fire, they could not afford to stay too long. After attacking, they quickly retreated, with Shi Lipeng controlling the Bone Dragons to flap their wings and fly farther away, waiting for their health to rapidly recover.
At the sa ti, the player teams on the ground, who had been following the Licker horde, began to launch their skills toward the Holy Court's defensive barriers.
Rotting Maggots!
This high-tier corruption spell from the undead could deal trendous damage and weaken high-strength defensive structures like city walls.
In Shi Lipeng's player team, aside from a few knights controlling the Bone Dragons, most of the team mbers were elite players skilled in corruption spells.
Under the influence of the "Rotting Maggots" skill, the Holy City's city walls began to show signs of decay. The wall's surface peeled away, exposing the rock beneath. White maggots crawled out from the cracks, rapidly corroding and weakening the wall.
The outer holy light shield began to dim, its protective power waning under the effect of the corrosion.
"Purification!"
Holy light beams cascaded down from the city walls, purging the corrupt maggots spilling over the walls.
The Holy Court team quickly realized the presence of this group of players and imdiately dispatched a group to handle the negative effects caused by the rotting maggots.
How troubleso.
The commanders of the Holy Court were feeling irritated.
The players were hiding beyond the range of their attacks.
Additionally, the large groups of Lickers piled up in the middle were blocking their path, preventing the Holy Court from charging forward and attacking the players. They were forced to defend.
"Calm down."
After withstanding two rounds of undead spell attacks, the Archbishop of the domain had already assessed the general strength of the outside team. Nodding, he said, "With the abilities they've shown so far, they cannot break through the city defenses. They're trying to provoke us, hoping we'll attack first."
"Understood!"
The captains of the Holy Court teams acknowledged. They refrained from engaging the players directly, instead focusing on eliminating the Licker horde that was amassing near the city's base. One by one, they concentrated their firepower to take down the creatures.
Though this strategy seed to be effective, the Licker horde was still not fully cleared, and it was clear that the players had no intention of giving up.
At first, the players were cautious, always on the lookout for a sudden shift in the Holy Court's tactics. But after several rounds of attacks, they realized that the Holy Court wasn't responding to their actions. This only fueled their excitent.
Every ti they cast a spell and dealt damage to the holy barrier or the city wall, they earned mission contribution points. These contributions were tallied up individually and as a team, and the final score would be calculated when the mission concluded.
As they continued their onslaught, their contribution points skyrocketed, much to their satisfaction.
In the sky, Shi Lipeng observed the movents on the city wall of the Holy Court, deep in thought.
The Bone Dragons had launched two test attacks, yet they were still unable to break through the outer defenses of the Holy Court's city.
The Holy Court was truly like a turtle shell!
Shi Lipeng changed tactics.
He decided to try again.
"Charge!"
Shi Lipeng shouted loudly, once again leading the Bone Dragon team to dive toward the city's defensive barrier!
"Roar!!"
The holy barrier on the outside of the city wall was hit again by the corrupted dragon's breath, causing the entire defense to tremble violently.
The energy points of the defense dropped significantly.
Priests from the Holy Court imdiately intensified their ntal strength, channeling energy into the Holy Tower to replenish the barrier.
"D*mn undead pests!"
It seed they had figured out that the Bone Dragons wouldn't be pursued, so they beca increasingly reckless.
A commander of the Holy Knight Legion, watching as a Bone Dragon quickly fled after sustaining heavy damage, felt his anger rise. He suggested, "Archbishop, please give a team, I am willing to pursue the Bone Dragons!"
"No!"
The regional bishop of the Holy Court shook his head.
"My lord, the Bone Dragons have already been heavily wounded. We have an opportunity..."
Another commander placed his hand on the knight legion commander's shoulder, shaking his head, "Didn't you notice? Fang Heng hasn't appeared yet."
Fang Heng?
The knight commander froze for a mont, then looked down at the sea of Licker creatures below the city wall.
Indeed, from the start of the battle until now, Fang Heng's whereabouts had not been seen.
The battlefield had been dominated by the Licker creatures and the player teams, but Fang Heng had remained absent.
This sparked a sense of caution.
"Archbishop, do you an to say that Fang Heng is hiding in the shadows, waiting to lure us out and then deliver a fatal blow?"
"Yes, it is very likely."
The Archbishop nodded gently, "Whether or not it's exactly as we suspect, this undead invasion is highly irregular. We will wait for them to make their move. Once the Holy Realm reinforcents arrive in eight hours, the undead's plot will be thoroughly crushed."
"Yes!"
The knight commander nodded solemnly, a look of realization on his face. He was also a bit relieved.
He had been sowhat impulsive.
Fortunately, the Archbishop of the domain stopped them.
Otherwise, if he had fallen for Fang Heng's trap, the city would have been lost, and he would have been the one to bla in the eyes of the Holy Court.
