Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong Chapter 2665: 1466: Desperation and Counterattack
Previously on Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong...
The entire battlefield remained cloaked in dense black fog, saturated with a wild and sinister energy, where murderous vibes ran wild across every inch.
With the foes' relentless and brutal assault crashing down without mercy, bursts of power rippled across the shield wall over our forces at the heart of the chaos, resembling a tempest crashing into still waters, relentless and without pause.
Following the intense bombardment from the adversaries, including Little Jie, the soldiers channeling strength into the protective shield turned even more ashen-faced, some starting to shake faintly, a obvious indicator of their power reserves depleting at a frantic pace.
Observing this unfolding, Leo Ray's forehead creased even more tightly.
From the prior grueling clash in the Underground City, our fighters' reserves had already been heavily worn down. Now, this strange thick dark fog not only hindered power restoration and circulation but also compounded the damage, especially under the opponents' savagely intense barrage.
His eyes shifted toward the protective shield overhead, which shuddered nonstop, drawing Leo Ray's closer attention.
Though the enemies' brutal onslaught had barely started, the magical light pulsing on the shield wall had already faded noticeably, showing it wouldn't last much longer.
“Your Majesty of the Humans, what do we do next?”
Sina's pale features showed nothing but gravity, her eyebrows drawn together as she questioned.
Once Sina had spoken, Loris approached too, his leonine visage bearing an equally grave look.
Even these seasoned commanders had never faced such a precarious bind in combat.
Though they didn't say it aloud, it matched what Leo Ray had pondered before; we truly were trapped in a bind. Should things persist like this, not only would storming the enemy's Skeletal Capital City prove impossible, but we'd teeter on the edge of total annihilation.
In this highly unfavorable spot, our sole choice appeared to be breaking out and pulling back, seeking any shot at survival.
Noticing the heavy looks on their faces, Leo Ray had naturally considered this well in advance.
However, prior to entering this deadly snare, we'd foiled the Witch Demon's plots and strikes multiple times, roused Old Gary and the rest—it marked our triumph's height, the foes' utmost vulnerability. Failing to crush them now would surely spawn endless unknowns ahead.
On top of that, factoring in looming threats like the Great Catastrophe and Lord Competitions, our available time had shrunk to a precious few. We couldn't squander it in this stalemate.
While Leo Ray's thoughts churned, Old Gary approached with a slight bow and stated, “Your Majesty of the Humans, I might have a plan to turn the tide, though it demands your complete support.”
“Oh? Speak your mind, old leader!”
Leo Ray's gaze sharpened with interest, quickly pressing for details.
“Here's the deal.”
Without delay, Old Gary outlined the precise approach.
Upon hearing it, not just Leo Ray but Sina, Loris, and the others all showed clear signs of renewed energy and hope.
Should everything proceed smoothly, this could truly flip our fortunes around!
Still, one had to recognize that only Leo Ray held any real shot at pulling it off.
What's more, committing to it would forfeit our prime window for escaping, yet obviously, no one dwelled on that anymore.
To put it better, relying on anyone else—like Sina or Loris—would prompt deep second-guessing, since messing up would spell unavoidable doom.
But with Leo Ray, doubt vanished, for this youthful Human Emperor had won their faith and admiration via his deeds.
“Got it, old leader. Let's move without delay.”
Leo Ray gestured firmly, nodding with resolve: “All of you, focus everything on sustaining the Absolute Defense Barrier—the rest falls to me.”
As Leo Ray's words ended, the group sprang into motion right away, dispersing amid the heavy black fog.
Nevertheless, amid our disciplined but strained efforts, the enemies' bombardment stayed brutally intense, pushing our Absolute Defense Barrier ever closer to shattering.
“Lord Leader, they're on the brink of breaking!”
From the ramparts of the Forest White Giant City, a witch demon in gray robes smirked mockingly, addressing the Witch Demon Leader nearby: “Our Undead Army has them fully encircled, and even wings wouldn't save them now!”
After the gray-robed witch demon spoke, the other witch demons around joined in, their gaunt faces twisting into icy, derisive grins as they gazed down at our formation, pelted by endless bone spears and arrows.
It felt like any instant now, our weakening Absolute Defense Barrier would crumble entirely, kicking off the bloodbath they craved.
“These pests realize they're hemmed in tight, yet they dig in instead of trying to flee—what's their game?”
While the nearby witch demons jeered, the Witch Demon Leader stood arms folded, fixing a sharp stare on our formation, his magic-marked face hardening with chill curiosity.
