Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong Chapter 2690 1478: Fierce Battle and Control (Part 2)
Previously on Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong...
The abundance of Leo Ray's resources stems primarily from the loot obtained in the Lord Arena.
Without a doubt, these overlord-tier lords dominating every leaderboard possess immense wealth, and it's exactly their contributions that have elevated Leo Ray's foundation to its present heights.
As the onlookers remained in shock, Leo Ray promptly ordered three units of summoned archers and mages to assault the foe's encampment.
Right away, a barrage of magical lights and arrows darkened the heavens, hurtling straight at the enemy position.
Differing from typical archers and mages, these summoned golem puppets were all masters. The archers madly pulled their bows, unleashing energy arrows like rapid-fire bolts or loosing volleys of ten at once, whereas the mages wielded their wands akin to artillery, bombarding with relentless energy blasts.
Consequently, despite numbering just three thousand, they unleashed a barrage that standard ranged units could scarcely match.
"Defense! Defense!"
Caught off guard by our sudden strike, the liches had no option but to direct the undead in evasion, yet hordes of undead still got skewered to the earth by the arrow storm or shredded by detonating spells.
After taking further casualties, the liches swiftly retaliated, firing back with necromancy waves, bone arrows, and spears that clogged the air, shattering numerous golem puppets and erasing them from sight.
In particular, the tier 6 powerhouses among them, including the liches themselves, deployed their utmost strength, wiping out batches of our tier 5 golem puppets in mere moments.
Noticing they weren't losing ground, the lich leader's face twisted into a sinister scowl once more, launching a savage counterassault shielded by scores of tier 6 guards, all while directing the liches to reform ranks and advance aggressively.
With their clear superiority in tier 6 strength, smashing through our main force seemed far from impossible!
Furthermore, the lich leader unleashed a wave of tier 6 undead backups, clashing violently with our tier 6 golem puppets. Should they manage to clear our tier 6 units first, victory would remain firmly in their grasp!
"Human kid, those enemy tier 6 experts are proving really problematic. It's my turn to step in!"
The pink-hooded figure instantly grasped the enemy's scheme and gave Leo Ray a firm nod.
"Don't worry, your moment hasn't come yet."
Leo Ray stayed calm, overseeing the troops' maneuvers.
Leo Ray knew full well that although the pink-hooded figure could overwhelm regular tier 6 foes and greatly relieve his burden, the demon's absence couldn't be overlooked. Draining the pink-hooded figure's energy too soon here would leave them vulnerable to grave peril later.
Thus, he wouldn't casually deploy the pink-hooded figure unless it was truly unavoidable.
From the battlefield's layout, the foes undoubtedly commanded a dominant edge in tier 6 might and aimed to focus fire on eradicating our tier 6 assets first, yet that didn't imply Leo Ray had no other ways to respond.
"Old leader, show them what you've got."
Leo Ray gave old Gary a nod and said.
"Your Majesty of the Humans, I'm all set for this!"
Old Gary, getting the cue, skillfully directed a concealed tier 5 cavalry squad through the haze, bursting out to slam into the tier 6 undead rushing for support.
Suddenly, the pounding of beast hooves thundered across the skies and ground, building an intimidating surge.
A nearer look revealed these as summoned tier 5 mounted golem puppets too, shaped like heavily plated cavalry and armored ground dragons, closely mirroring the Coldflame Kingdom's armored ground dragon riders.
Though only a thousand in count, the crushing presence they projected rivaled that of the dozens of charging tier 6 undead.
Above all, their carved features, helmeted statue-like visages, radiated intense intimidation.
The fact that old Gary could lead them stemmed from Leo Ray handing over the activation scrolls directly, enabling precise task splits to optimize their combat potential.
"Destroy those stone riders!"
At the lich leader's order, a hail of bone spears, bone arrows, and various ranged assaults plummeted from above, pelting our charging cavalry.
"Old sir, you're up now!"
Spotting this, Leo Ray swiftly nodded at Frank.
"As you wish, Your Majesty!"
The veteran Dragon-slaying Hero, poised and waiting, triggered the green magic scroll he held, summoning a fierce wind that roared toward the incoming bone arrows and spears.
Wherever the gale swept, the necromancy-forged bone weapons dissolved into mist, and most arrows along with javelins got hurled aside, permitting only standard spells to strike the cavalry, inflicting some harm but nothing devastating.
The green magic scroll Frank used was essentially a tier 6 wind-type support item, enhanced with anti-necromancy effects, so this result was entirely expected.
"Clever young one, you foresaw every bit of this! I actually fretted over you and your funds!"
Observing Leo Ray deftly counter the enemy's onslaught, the pink-hooded figure's shadowed features showed fresh astonishment. Though far superior in raw power to Leo Ray, he lacked any savvy in grand-scale warfare, leaving him completely at sea.
As such, witnessing Leo Ray's steady leadership and foresight into foe moves was mind-blowing. In his own group, just the seasoned national guardians boasted such tactical prowess! After all, mastering a battlefield isn't a gift everyone has!
Seizing the opening from Frank deflecting most of the assault, the cavalry collided squarely with the onrushing tier 6 undead.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Explosive impacts rang out nonstop, and against the tier 6 undead's thick energy shields, the lead tier 5 golem puppets exploded on contact, followed by the next wave, then another, with no chance of resistance.
Through the relentless crashes, the energy shields on those tier 6 undead soon visibly weakened, until they burst apart, allowing the golem puppets' lances to impale them fatally.
As the haze cleared, while old Gary's golem puppets dissolved back into energy motes, the enemy undead reinforcements lay scattered and defeated, posing no further danger.
"That cursed human pest!"
Seeing his carefully raised elite tier 6 forces squandered this way, while Leo Ray merely spent a handful of summoning scrolls, the lich leader's rage contorted his features, making his withered lips quiver.
To his horror next, a bigger cavalry detachment emerged from the mist, barreling straight at his undead ranks.
At the same time, on other fronts, golem puppets under Youyou, Xiao Jing, and Little Jie's control clashed brutally with additional incoming undead hordes.
In the midst of this, despite the enemies' tier 6 superiority persisting, Leo Ray's tier 5 summoning scrolls appeared bottomless, rapidly deploying fresh golem puppets from the fog and intensifying the chaos across the field.
Seeing Leo Ray casually conjure an entire army, flipping a desperate defense into a balanced standoff, the pink-hooded man gawked in awe, as the rest pressed on with sharper coordination and divided roles.
Bit by bit, our side swelled in power as the foes dwindled, when abruptly, a sharp killing aura flared up behind Leo Ray, spiking the tension to its peak.
