Chapter 608: Chapter 429: One Wave Has Not Settled_2

Every punch and kick would either penetrate the stone soldiers or sever their limbs, leaving behind chilling remnants that dissipated in the wind.

With their ghost-like agility, the shield formation’s other end was as sturdy as the end completely obstructed by a giant stone pillar.

Without the worry of their flanks, the mages and archers led by Aol relied on short and swift single-target attack magic after the earlier area-of-effect spells.

Accompanied by the “whoosh” of cutting through air, wind blades, fire arrows, and earth spears intertwined like surgical knives, clearing the assaulting stone soldiers one by one.

Under the leadership of City Lord Aol, Gael, and five Tier 3 commanders, along with the assistance of Leo Ray and the long-range knights, the number of Tier 2 golem puppets was gradually reduced by half, leaving less than fifty.

Their complete elimination seemed only a matter of time.

On the exploration team’s side, aside from a few heavy infantry thrown away and receiving treatment from the priests in a corner, there were almost no other losses.

Realizing this, everyone’s faces revealed a hint of joy, breathing a sigh of relief.

However, just as everyone thought victory was at hand, the second change occurred.

This time, it happened at the rear of the entire team, where knights Tina, Tia and three others were guarding.

More than two hundred blue summoning magic circles appeared out of thin air, exactly like the ones before.

In the blink of an eye, 200 brand-new bare-chested stone soldiers quickly took shape, appearing menacingly in front of everyone.

Noticing this, both Leo Ray and Aol, who were in the middle of the group, couldn’t help but reveal astonished expressions.

At this stage, the enemies in the front hadn’t been completely wiped out, firmly holding the heavily armored soldiers at the front lines.

As a result, the previous formation clearly couldn’t work again.

Although the five Tier 3 knights guarding the rear, including Tina and Tia, were quite powerful, it was undoubtedly impossible for them to withstand two hundred aggressive Tier 2 enemies.

As everything happened in the blink of an eye, by the time everyone realized the situation, the stone soldiers wielding giant axes had already roared and began their charge.

For a moment, the entire scene became extremely tense and dangerous as they looked at the exposed rear.

“Lord Gael, Mr. Christopher, leave the enemies at the back to you temporarily. As soon as the enemies in the front are completely eliminated, Master Calvin and I will bring reinforcements!”

At this point, Aol’s voice, which had become somewhat hoarse, reached Leo Ray’s ears.

On the other side, before Leo Ray could respond, Gael appeared beside him and whispered, “Mr. Christopher, please prioritize your own safety. I’ll help draw the enemy’s attention at the front.”

With that said, Gael transformed into a meteor and charged directly into the enemy formation at the rear.

The next second, this powerful Tier 4 powerhouse, like a heavy bomb, using his body as a weapon, created a massive energy wave at high speed, directly throwing the first twenty stone soldiers in the front and sending them crashing into a giant stone pillar not far away before they vanished.

“All knights switch to melee weapons, let’s start.”

Seeing this, Leo Ray, still holding his magic wand, immediately joined forces with Layne, Tina, and Tia to form a unified front.

Your Excellency, please stay back a little. Once the real fight starts, no one can protect a fragile mage like you,” Tia said scornfully.

“Tia, enough with the talking,” Tina quickly added. “Mr. Christopher, please rest assured, by the name of the knights, we will protect your safety at all costs!”

Hearing this, Leo Ray raised his eyebrows and took a few steps back.

Following that, Layne and the others revealed solemn expressions and lined up in front of Leo Ray, forming a horizontal defense line.

Without a doubt, behind them was the long-range force ill-suited for close combat.Once a large number of bare-chested stone soldiers broke through the line and formed a pincer attack with the remaining enemies, the situation would be very bad.

“Gideon Black, stay by Gael’s side. You don’t need to take action unless absolutely necessary.”

At the same time, Leo Ray, who was watching the middle-aged martial artist who had attracted at least half of the golem puppets, opened his mind-talk and ordered the muscular priest.

Not only was Gael the president of the Viennas City Sanders’ Trading Conference, but he was also Kelsey’s father.

No matter from which aspect, he was crucial to their next actions, and they could not afford any slips.

As for Taylor and Red Night, they remained on either side of Leo Ray.

The current situation, although tricky, was far from dangerous.

Therefore, the two Tier 5 powerhouses who were held in reserve hadn’t arrived at their trump card moment yet.

On the other side, accompanied by the dull sound of weapons piercing into rocks.

Ten Tier 3 knights, lined up in a row in front of Leo Ray, had already engaged in a fierce battle with a large number of bare-chested stone soldiers.

In a blink of an eye, the scene was filled with the light of weapons and energy, and it was extremely intense.

Logically speaking, given that Gael had attracted nearly half of the enemies,

the ten Tier 3 knights should be evenly matched with their hundred Tier Second-level opponents in terms of combat power.

However, as Leo Ray had analyzed earlier,

these golem puppets, who fear no pain, do not tire, and have thick skin, were obviously much more difficult to deal with than ordinary Tier 2 soldiers.

Thus, although the knights, whose strength was clearly superior in the beginning, successively killed many of the charging bare-chested stone soldiers, reducing them to nothing.

In particular, the sister duo of Tina and Tia, who were wielding long spears, had dragon-like spear techniques and unleashed killing moves. Their precise thrusts and sweeps prevented any opponents from coming close.

However, as the battle continued and they faced the endless stream of enemies, even those with short arms and legs still charged.

Due to the rapid expenditure of energy from using too many techniques in the early stages, Tia, who only had Tier 3 three-star strength, was the first to slow down.

At this time, her fair forehead was already covered in beads of sweat, and the heavy metallic long spear in her hand was gradually becoming difficult to wield.

Even the knight’s helmet she wore was thrown on the ground due to its interference with her vision.

In the end, while Tia had good talent and reached the level of Tier 3 powerhouses at a young age,

she was a noble’s daughter with very little combat experience, far less than her sister Tina, who joined the Blue Rose Knights just two years prior.

Therefore, all this was within reason.

“Damn stone man, disappear!”

Just as she made a fierce thrust and forcibly turned a stone man in front of her into nothing,

another stone soldier who had come around from behind was already raising his giant axe, aimed directly at her head!

“Tia, watch your back!”

By chance, Tina caught sight of this scene and immediately cried out.

However, due to being surrounded by other stone soldiers, Tina couldn’t spare any energy to help and could only watch the scene unfold with her eyes wide open.

Hearing this, Tia quickly reacted.

As she turned around in panic, the sharp edge of the axe was just a step away from her head.

Without a doubt, at this moment, although her eyes sparkled with fear, she had no time to react.

“Frightening Flash!”

At this moment, accompanied by a shouting,

The sharp sword light flashed, and the stone soldier who tried to attack was cut into several pieces before disintegrating into the air.

On the other side, Tia, who was still in shock, looked at the swordsman who had saved her.

Disbelief filled her eyes as she blurted out, “How could it be you?”
