162: Dark creatures attack, and the great battle officially begins.

“The Hellhounds range in level from 20 to 50, and with so many Ghouls, the number of monsters has probably exceeded a hundred thousand.”

Su Bai scanned his surroundings, a grave expression in his eyes.

“Excellent! Today, I can finally kill to my heart’s content!”

Wang Zhenguo’s eyes gleamed, flickering with a brilliant light.

He extended his right palm, and as light shimmered, a golden holy hammer materialized out of thin air, radiating a dazzling glow.

Kerrigan, Dehaka, Abathur, and Broken Fang stood in the four cardinal directions around Su Bai, adopting defensive stances.

“Light Legion, hold your ground, form ranks and slay the enemy!”

Wang Zhenguo raised his holy hammer high and shouted.

5,000 Light Swordsmen formed ten layers, moving their feet to create a circular defensive perimeter.

3,000 Silver Knights interspersed themselves within the formation.

2,000 Arcane Mages stood at the very center, accumulating magical energy.

Su Bai and the others were positioned at the center point of the circular defensive perimeter.

The Hell Envoy’s eyes were blood-red as he raised his massive bone blade.

Flames burning on the bone blade flickered with an eerie green light.

“Light will ultimately be swallowed by endless darkness!”

“Tremble, you insignificant humans!”

“Darkness is coming; prepare to welcome death!”

His black wings flapped, causing him to hover at a low altitude.

He flew rapidly towards the Light Legion.

“We cannot let a high-level hero unit like the Hell Envoy charge into the Light Legion’s formation; otherwise, the Dark Creatures rushing from the surrounding jungles will be unmanageable.”

Wang Zhenguo turned around, gazing at the five-meter-tall Hell Envoy in the distance.

“Colonel Wang, can I be of any assistance?” Su Bai asked subconsciously.

“Your mission is to protect yourself!”

Wang Zhenguo said without hesitation, “The Hell Envoy, Uther and I will handle him!”

He assigned a small squad of soldiers to protect Su Bai.

Then, holy hammer in hand, he took large strides, leaving the circular defensive perimeter formed by the Light Legion, and charged towards the Hell Envoy with extreme speed.

As he charged forward, a layer of golden light film appeared on Wang Zhenguo’s body, and his aura began to rise steadily.

Uther followed closely behind.

Soon, he overtook Wang Zhenguo, rushing to the very front.

Gazing at Wang Zhenguo’s broad back, Su Bai felt not only a sense of security but also deep emotion.

Although he was a Senior Colonel in the Military Region, for Su Bai’s sake, he still disregarded the danger, ventured deep into the Cursed Archipelago, and charged at the very front.

Actually, Wang Zhenguo didn’t need to go to such lengths.

He could have simply assigned a hero to lead the troops in support to complete the task given by the military.

But he still personally arrived and fought on the front line.

This time, a debt of gratitude had been incurred.

As Su Bai watched, lines of information popped up.

【Lord: Wang Zhenguo】

【Nationality: Dragon Kingdom】

【Lord Level: Lv62】

【Talent: Unknown】

【Skills: Unknown】

Lord Level, as well as attributes like talent and skills, only appear after the territory level reaches Lv20.

At that time, as the Lord Level increases, the Lord’s strength, speed, stamina, and other aspects will all receive a certain degree of enhancement.

And they will also awaken some unique talents and abilities.

Of course, there are also some skill books specifically for Lords to learn and use, which can grant various different abilities.

However, all of this will only appear once the territory level breaks through Lv20 and the lord’s imprint is strengthened sufficiently.

Currently, Su Bai’s territory level has just reached Lv12.

Attributes related to the Lord’s personal power have not yet appeared.

The Ghouls and Hellhounds from all directions had just emerged from the jungle and had not yet reached close proximity.

Uther had already rushed out several hundred meters, then hurled his holy hammer, which rapidly expanded against the wind, becoming ten times its original size.

The Hell Envoy hovered in place, gripping the hilt of his blade with both hands.

The three-meter-long bone blade slashed down heavily.

“Bang!”

The holy hammer collided with the bone blade, unleashing a powerful shockwave.

The surrounding black mist began to churn incessantly, and visibility became extremely blurry.

Wang Zhenguo circled to the side, continuously swinging his holy hammer, and One by one golden miniature tornadoes formed in place, flying rapidly forward.

The Hell Envoy glanced out of the corner of his eye, and his right wing flapped violently.

Viscous, almost solid black mist transformed into sharp blades, whistling as they sped away.

“Swish, swish, swish!”

The golden tornadoes were corroded by the black blades and dissipated completely.

Their residual power undiminished, the blades continued to fly forward.

Wang Zhenguo’s expression remained unchanged; his figure flickered continuously, rapidly repositioning himself to appear beside Uther.

The three continued their fierce battle.

The battle was exceptionally intense and protracted.

It was difficult to determine a winner in a short period.

Su Bai, watching from a distance, was already dumbfounded.

“Is this the power of high-level combatants? Truly formidable!”

“Colonel Wang, at Lord Level sixty-two, his abilities are already extraordinary!”

“Coupled with Uther, who is level sixty-five, they should be able to contend with the Hell Envoy!”

Amidst his shock, Su Bai’s heart was also filled with intense anticipation.

After his territory level breaks through twenty, he will be able to access the Lord Level page.

At that time, his personal combat power will skyrocket, experiencing an explosive growth.

Perhaps, he might even acquire some powerful talents and skills.

In terms of his own safety, this would be a significant guarantee.

It would prevent him from falling into danger due to certain situations, such as encountering high-level elite enemies when the Zerg Swarm’s defenses are not timely enough.

At the same time.

The Ghouls and Hellhounds were getting closer and closer.

2,000 Arcane Mages raised their staffs, and thousands of azure lightning arrows condensed into a blue thundercloud, hovering above the Light Legion.

The next second.

The staffs dropped heavily.

A dense volley of lightning arrows flew out, cutting through the sky with sharp whistling sounds.

“Boom!”

“Boom!”

“Boom!”

Continuous explosions rang out, and large numbers of Ghouls and Hellhounds were blasted into charred remains, dying on the spot.

But this time, the monsters were densely packed, numbering in the tens of thousands.

And they were rushing from all directions.

Although the Arcane Mages caused immense damage, it was limited.

Just then.

An unexpected change occurred.

The black altar radiated a dazzling light.

A deep black light pillar descended from the sky, landing directly in the disc at the top of the altar.

A rich, evil aura erupted.

An endless stream of Skeleton creatures rushed out from the black light pillar.

They leaped off the altar and charged towards the circular defensive perimeter formed by the Light Legion.

There were roughly three types:

Skeleton Axemen.

Skeleton Spearman.

Skeleton Archer.

Their levels ranged from 10 to 50.

“With so many Dark Creatures, can the Light Legion hold them off?”

Su Bai’s expression was stern as he tightened his grip on the flame scepter.
