Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong Chapter 2923: 1599: The Battle Curtain Rises Under the Moon

The Broken Wing King's sinister smirk was enhanced by the pallid moonlight, making him appear even more chilling. As mysterious shadows materialized, the formidable fighters surrounding him adopted defensive stances, clearly having anticipated this moment.

Furthermore, at least five resplendent Defensive Barriers sprang into existence, completely encircling the Broken Wing King at the heart of the formation.

For a time, despite the hundred-plus shadows radiating a potent aura, the Broken Wing King's side held a distinct advantage, appearing as an unbreachable bastion.

Observing this display, Leo Ray's brow furrowed slightly.

Compared to the initial manifestation of their defenses, the number of powerful individuals around the Broken Wing King had significantly increased. This included allies such as the Giant Horned King and the Tusk King, boasting a surprising thirty Half-step Tier 7 experts. A dense contingent of Tier 6 guards occupied every inch of the vicinity, and even more Defensive Barriers were evident.

Most critically, it was evident that the Broken Wing King was no passive observer. Having foreseen the potential arrival of hunters, he was undoubtedly prepared to strike first.

"To appear silently within the Lonely King's domain is indeed remarkable, but that is where your accomplishments end."

As predicted, the smirk on the Broken Wing King's lips widened into a more twisted grin. Countless Magic Arrows erupted from numerous magic traps concealed around him, descending upon the mysterious shadows before they could even get close.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Accompanied by a series of ear-splitting rushing sounds, the sharp Magic Arrows found their marks with unerring accuracy, pelting the shadows descending from the sky and leaving them in utter disarray.

In a mere instant, a staggering seventy percent of the mysterious shadows were impaled and sent hurtling through the air like porcupines, overwhelmed by the force of the impacts.

Leo Ray could distinctly perceive that these shadows, flung about like discarded puppets, were predominantly at Tier 6 Five Stars or higher, with many reaching the Tier 6 Peak. However, the Broken Wing King's magic traps appeared to have already attained Half-step Tier 7 capabilities, sealing their doomed fate.

The remaining thirty percent, largely composed of Half-step Tier 7 cultivators, managed to evade the onslaught by employing their formidable Energy Barriers. Yet, their imposing presence diminished significantly, and they displayed clear signs of struggle.

"To dare cause such a disturbance here, it's evident they do not consider us worthy opponents."

The Giant Horned King and his fellow allies responded with sinister smiles. Seizing the opportune moment while the shadows were disoriented, they transformed into streaks of dark energy, lunging towards their adversaries.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The air vibrated with the deafening cacophony of continuous Energy collisions. The Giant Horned King and the others wore fierce expressions as they wielded their weapons, unleashing relentless assaults upon the beleaguered shadows like a furious tempest.

With the Giant Horned King and his allies capitalizing on their strategic positioning, coupled with the shadows being battered by the arrow volley, they were rapidly overwhelmed. They found themselves utterly dominated, incapable of advancing even a single step towards the Broken Wing King, instead focused solely on desperate self-preservation.

"This..."

Witnessing this turn of events, Lila and the other allies felt a tremor of anxiety run through them. Though they maintained outward composure, their inner hearts pounded with urgency.

To a certain extent, they understood that these mysterious shadows were indeed their allies. If the current situation persisted, they would soon be annihilated by the Broken Wing King and his confederates.

In their extreme anticipation, Lila and the others even felt their internal Energy surge, positioning themselves to render aid to the shadows at a moment's notice.

"There is no need for haste. Given that these mysterious shadows could trigger magical explosions twice, revealing the Broken Wing King's defenses, they certainly will not be defeated so easily."

Leo Ray's calm voice resonated as he communicated mentally with Lila and the others.

Leo Ray was fully aware that the Broken Wing King had positioned himself here precisely to lure out these mysterious shadows. Since he could perceive this strategy, it was only natural that the shadows were also privy to it.

Understanding that their opponents were prepared, yet the shadows still chose to reveal themselves so openly, suggested they possessed a counter-plan against the Broken Wing King.

Therefore, intervening prematurely would undoubtedly disrupt the shadows' meticulously laid strategy, leading to a disastrous outcome that was counterproductive.

Upon hearing Leo Ray's words, everyone felt a measure of relief and continued to direct their intense focus towards the ongoing battle unfolding nearby.

As they were not the primary targets of the shadows, and the Broken Wing King and his allies maintained a circular defensive formation, the conflict did not extend to their positions.

As the engagement unfolded, the forms of the shadows gradually took on clearer definition.

They moved with agility, clad in dark attire and wearing black stealth masks that concealed the majority of their physical characteristics. Their chosen armaments consisted primarily of versatile Short Blades suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, along with Crossbow bolts, presenting the quintessential appearance of hunters.

“A bunch of fools, how could such weaklings dare to challenge us?”

Wielding his colossal Warhammer with overwhelming might, the Giant Horned King sent each blow crashing down like a falling mountain. The shadow brandishing a Longsword was compelled to retreat, step by agonizing step, almost entirely without recourse.

It wasn't only the Giant Horned King; Tusk King and their other allies also exuded arrogance. They exploited their advantage of familiar territory, joining forces with their elite guards to lay siege to the dwindling shadows.
