Chapter 2662 The Invasion
"Understood!"
The players controlling the Bone Dragons around Fang Heng also had battle intent flickering in their eyes as they responded in unison.
In the past, it had been the Holy Court chasing them, but now it was their turn to chase the Holy Court. When had it ever been the undead faction pursuing the Holy Court?
The Bone Dragons flew at high speed in the sky, and within minutes, they caught up with the fleeing Holy Court Knight Legion.
Seven Bone Dragons simultaneously dove toward the ground.
They continued their descent until the Holy Court knight team entered their attack range.
"Corrupted dragon's breath!!!"
"Boom!!!"
The black dragon's breath erupted one after another from the massive mouths of the seven Bone Dragons, instantly flooding the Glory Knight Legion below, who were desperately trying to escape!
At the elementary stage, the Holy Court's strength was naturally a counter to the undead's power.
At the high-tier stage, both sides entered a state of mutual restraint.
The Knight Legion, submerged in black fog, had their holy shields repeatedly exploding with loud bangs as the corrupted dragon's breath continued to assault them, shattering the shields one after another!
The Holy Paladins of the Holy Court were immediately affected by the Corruption and aging negative effects from the Bone Dragons, causing their combat strength to significantly decrease.
Even their warhorses were not spared, collapsing under the corrosive aura's attack.
In an instant, a large portion of the knight group was transformed from cavalry into infantry.
In the next moment, the Lickers behind them chased after them, surrounding and devouring the entire knight regiment!
Hahaha!
Awesome!
Shi Lipeng's expression remained unchanged, but inside, he was laughing with exhilaration.
With this strike, it felt as though the frustration that had built up over the past half-year had finally been released, and he couldn't be more satisfied!
The other players shared the same feeling, their faces lit with excitement.
Wipe out the Holy Paladin team!
Chase! Keep pursuing!
Not a single one should be left behind!
"Chi, chi..."
Below, as the Holy Court's Glory Knights fell one by one under the attacks of the Lickers, flesh cocoons formed around them. From these cocoons, zombie creatures crawled out, stumbling as they joined the battlefield.
The terrifying infection ability was in full display.
So this was the special ability added to the Licker swarm controlled by Fang Heng...
It was said that Fang Heng once used a vast army of zombie creatures to spread across an entire mid-tier game world controlled by the Holy Court.
Shi Lipeng withdrew his gaze from below and looked again toward the direction of the Holy Court's city.
"We continue!"
"Kill!!"
...
The Holy Court's Holy City.
The Archbishop stood anxiously atop the city wall, his gaze fixed on the distance.
The Glory Knight Legion was sent out nearly an hour ago.
By now, they should have returned.
"Archbishop, there's no need to worry. Commander Brudi is extremely powerful and always acts with caution. If they encounter trouble, he will definitely choose to retreat. With his ability, even if they face the main force of the undead, there's no way the undead could take them all down," one of the guards reassured.
"Yes."
The Archbishop nodded lightly in response, "Let's hope that's the case."
Just as he spoke, the city's defensive barrier suddenly activated, bursting into radiant holy light.
Something's wrong!
On the sentry post outside the city wall, the guards' expressions changed slightly.
The defensive barrier was automatically triggered, rising as soon as it sensed an enemy invasion.
The Archbishop's face became serious as he fixed his gaze on the distance.
The situation was not looking good!
He could already sense the undead aura quickly approaching the city from the distance.
The intensity of the aura was overwhelming!
The Glory Knight Regiment sent out for reconnaissance had still not returned, which likely meant they had run into trouble.
"Activate the city's lockdown protocol immediately. Send word to the regional bishops for reinforcements. Order everyone to prepare for battle!" he commanded.
"Yes, Archbishop!"
On the city walls, the Holy Court guards gripped their weapons tightly, alert to the impending attack from the undead faction.
As the undead aura drew closer, shadows began to appear on the distant horizon.
It was the Lickers!
As the swarm of undead creatures drew closer, everyone finally saw the true face of the enemy.
This was bad!
It was Fang Heng!
The Archbishop's expression changed drastically, and he shouted, "Immediately notify the Holy Realm! It's Fang Heng! Fang Heng has come here!"
"Y-Your Grace..."
Beside him, a nearby escort stared at the phantom emerging in the sky, his eyes filled with indescribable shock.
"Do you see that... Could that be...?"
The Archbishop had just ordered his subordinates to report Fang Heng's presence to the Holy Realm when he heard the escort's exclamation. He turned to the sky, his face also showing an expression of extreme shock.
Bone Dragons!
It was Bone Dragons!
And not just one!
Seven Bone Dragons were circling above the Licker swarm, gradually closing in on the city.
The undead!
They had really come!
And they had even deployed Bone Dragons!
This was something they had never encountered before.
"Mage tower, prepare to attack!"
Sweat beaded on the Archbishop's forehead as he fixed his gaze on the approaching swarm of undead Lickers. He coldly commanded, "Attack!"
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!!
Holy Light beams erupted from the top of the Mage Towers, and after briefly condensing holy power, they shot out in powerful waves of divine energy, bombarding the dense mass of Lickers in the distance.
Shi Lipeng, perched on the back of a Bone Dragon, observed the battle from afar.
He had chosen not to engage directly, instead leading the Bone Dragon legion to circle high above, staying out of the Holy Court's attack range.
While the Bone Dragons had strong defenses, they could still be wounded under heavy spellfire.
Having gained such a significant advantage, Shi Lipeng couldn't afford to fail—such a loss would haunt him for the rest of his life.
For safety's sake, the Licker swarm, as a tank-like creature, was deployed at the front line to absorb the incoming fire.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!!!"
The wide-range divine spells from the mage towers fell on the front lines, detonating in waves of holy explosions among the Licker swarm. The Lickers caught in the blast were torn apart in all directions.
However, the scattered Lickers quickly recovered and regrouped, charging towards the Holy Court's main city with astounding speed.
On the city wall, the Holy Court's guards, witnessing the situation, broke into cold sweat.
The terrifying undead!
Despite the Holy Tower's immense attack power, it could barely wipe out the Licker swarm?
When did the Lickers' vitality become this strong?
The combined area damage from the dozens of Holy Towers only managed to slow the Lickers' advance, not eliminate them.
"Concentrate fire! Concentrate fire!"
A Holy Court guard captain on the city wall shouted urgently.
The priests of the Holy Court gathered holy power and launched spells at the Licker swarm from a distance.
Only by concentrating their fire could they hope to take down a Licker in a short time.
But, looking out over the battlefield, the Licker swarm was overwhelming in size.
Their attack output was too much for the Holy Court to handle.
Before long, the Licker swarm reached the bottom of the city's outer walls, surrounding the holy barrier and frantically clawing at it.
Whoooosh!!!
Seizing the perfect opportunity as the Licker swarm closed in on the city, Shi Lipeng led the Bone Dragon legion from the right side of the battlefield, diving from the sky. He unleashed several blasts of the corrupted dragon's breath, directly attacking the city's outer defensive barrier!
