1095: Self-destruction
The Knight Legion of Busen City is excellent, that is undeniable.
But no matter how excellent a legion is, when facing the power of high technology, it is like being subjected to a dimensionality reduction attack.
Like the clash between the Iron Age and the age of thermal weapons.
Although in this era there are transcendent powers like Knights and Magicians, at the Soldier level, everyone's strength is still within the realm of normal people.
How could they possibly bridge the gap across technology?!
Seeing their opponents effortlessly harvesting the lives of those around them, a wave of panic surged like a downpour, spreading through the Army of Busen City!
No one advanced anymore, every single one desperately retreated.
They even threw the weapons and equipment in their hands onto the ground!
Once this situation arose, it only intensified.
In just a few short minutes, the entire Knight Legion had completely lost its combat capability!
And Maurice and other high-ranking officials of Busen City could only watch this scene with their eyes splitting!
They lost.
Their Army, three hundred thousand elite Soldiers, was defeated by the legion opposite, which had only three thousand people!
"Retreat!"
There was too much unwillingness in his heart, but at this moment, he could only swallow it whole and issue the order to retreat.
Behind them, Busen City still had fifty thousand troops.
Once they returned, reorganized, and discussed a new battle plan, they could turn around and come back!
This was Maurice's idea.
And along with his words, the Soldiers who had already begun to flee, ran even faster towards the direction of Busen City.
"Boom!"
After a dense clash of magic power, Maurice looked at Raine in front of him, his gaze gloomy: "Raine, by doing things for the aliens like this, you are courting death!"
"Courting death? Even if I didn't do things for the aliens, Viscount Maurice, it seems you didn't give my Renault Family a way to live either!"
"I will definitely settle the score with you properly for helping Su Liang destroy my Renault Family!" Raine's tone was cold and his attitude was firm.
Seeing this, Maurice's face twitched: "I have already released the younger generation of your Renault Family within my authority!"
"Released? Released to where? Released them into the darkness to feed the monsters?"
"Don't think I don't know what you old man are thinking, you were just afraid that I would come back to hold you accountable, so you hypocritically left a group of survivors."
"If you really felt sorry for my Renault Family and wanted to compensate, you should have helped my Renault Family return to its original position, not supported the rise of two new Family forces!"
"You are truly brainwashed by these aliens." Maurice couldn't refute, so he could only curse angrily.
After saying this, he looked at Li Village behind Raine: "You guys just wait, wait until I bring the large Army from Busen City!"
"It's all darkness outside now, I know you guys can't run away."
With that, Maurice cast a speed magic on himself and directly swept towards the rear.
"Vice City Lord Maurice, do you think you and the people around you still have a chance to escape now?" Suddenly, a contemptuous voice sounded.
To Maurice's left front, Green Na, dressed in a green robe and holding a magic staff, revealed a hint of mockery in his eyes.
"What do you mean?" Seeing the other party's expression, Maurice suddenly felt a bad premonition in his heart.
And in the next moment.
With his superb five senses, he suddenly heard a clear sound of hooves rising from the ground behind him!
Looking sideways, the Old Man's pupils suddenly constricted.
In his field of vision, beneath the area illuminated by electric lights behind them, three groups of people appeared before his eyes!
Green Na Family, Cannes Family, Renault Family.
It was the three major Families!
The experts from the two major Families of Busen City and the Renault Family had actually arrived on this battlefield at this moment!
Looking at their movements, combined with Green Na's contemptuous words just now, it could be concluded that these guys were on the side of Li Village!
"The three of us alone definitely couldn't keep you, but with the Family experts under us, keeping you becomes a high probability event." Green Na coldly revealed everything.
"You guys!" Maurice wanted to say something more, but Raine in front of him attacked him again!
And as time passed, the high-ranking officials from the various Families who had come as reinforcements also concentrated on surrounding and annihilating the high-ranking officials of Busen City at this moment.
If the original City Lord were still present, the three major Families combined would not be able to shake Busen City.
However, now.
Maurice was ultimately not as powerful as the original City Lord. With the three major Families having a numerical advantage and overall strength superiority, the high-ranking officials he led had already begun to suffer casualties!
On the side of the three hundred thousand Knight Army.
A considerable number of the Soldiers who were fleeing in disarray ran into the darkness, and amidst screams, were devoured by the darkness monsters.
The remaining Soldiers, after barely calming down, dared not advance nor retreat into the darkness behind them.
Originally, they were advancing by relying on the Holy Light Array that the Lords of Busen City had helped them establish.
Now those Lords were entangled and unable to break free.
This also caused these Soldiers to be unable to retreat to a significant distance due to the limitations of the Holy Light Array.
"Those who surrender will not be killed! If you want to live, put down your weapons, remove your armor, and raise your hands high!"
A strong and powerful voice spread out.
The speaker was Li Bo, who had arrived beside Li Changkong not long ago.
His voice, the moment it was transmitted, directly swept across the entire battlefield.
The reason was a large loudspeaker in his hand.
With the popularization of electrical equipment, these things were also frequently used by the villagers of Li Village.
And after Li Bo clearly conveyed Li Changkong's meaning through the broadcast, on the entire battlefield, those Soldiers who were still completely lost, after a brief exchange of glances, one by one, put down the weapons in their hands, took off their armor, and raised their hands high.
"Damn it! Who told you to..." Maurice watched as these Soldiers actually chose to surrender as captives, his old face flushed with anger.
However, his angry curse had not completely been transmitted before he was forced to swallow it back by Raine's approaching attack.
"Maurice! This won't work, if we don't think of a way, we're really going to be finished!" Fei Kui also realized the seriousness of the situation at this time, with obvious anxiety on his face.
"Way? What way can I have? Could you have imagined that our three hundred thousand Army would be defeated by a small Village? No one could have imagined it!" Maurice cursed angrily in his heart.
However, he also understood the current situation.
If there was no countermeasure, not only would those three hundred thousand elite Soldiers become a viable force to strengthen Li Village, but even he and Fei Kui, these high-ranking officials of Busen City, would be captured with hatred!
While dealing with Raine, Maurice suddenly thought of something that he had been ignoring behind him.
He remembered that when Su Liang gave the recipe for the enhancement potion, he also included a bottle of potion as a gift.
A bottle of potion with no labels or explanations, which gave him a very bad feeling.
"Boom~"
After another clash of power, Maurice pulled back a distance, and then immediately fumbled on his body.
Immediately after, a bottle of potion appeared in his hand.
The potion was a strange purplish-black color, and even through the container, there was an inescapable fishy smell constantly emanating!
[darkness Divine Servant. Human Rank]
[Drink it, you can gain powerful strength.]
There was a label left by Su Liang on the container.
It was precisely because of this label, whose authenticity was unknown, that Maurice carried this thing with him.
He glanced at the San Ziye in front of him, then turned his gaze to Li Village in the distance.
The people of Li Village seemed to think that the battle had reached its end and that victory was certain, and many people had already arrived at the entrance of Li Village.
Several searchlights not far away were also focused on these high-ranking officials who were being besieged.
Those guys were already treating them like monkeys!
"Su Liang, I'll trust you one more time!" Maurice knew that if he didn't make a decisive decision, the final outcome would inevitably be even more severe!
While muttering to himself, the Old Man directly opened the stopper and poured the potion into his mouth in one gulp!
Upon entering his mouth, it was greasy, smooth, and bloody, like a piece of rotten, smelly meat. After falling into his mouth, it was like an old tree, directly taking root and quickly spreading throughout his body!
"Boom!"
A terrifying aura suddenly surged from the rigid Maurice at this moment!
The surging power even pushed Raine and the surrounding experts away!
One after another, hideous and terrifying black-red tumors suddenly swelled on Maurice's arms, legs, torso, and face!
Dense darkness power, with wisps of black gas that seemed almost solid, enveloped half of Maurice's body!
"Uh ah!" It was an unknown roar of either excitement or pain, and the moment it surged forth magnificently, it was like a wild beast, causing many people with ordinary strength in the surroundings to cover their ears, howling in unbearable pain and falling to the ground!
The tumors on Maurice's body exploded one by one.
After the tumors on his arm exploded, an extra twisted bloody arm appeared.
After the tumors on his face exploded, an extra face appeared!
When everything subsided, Maurice, in the eyes of everyone whose pupils were trembling, opened a pair of bloody pupils that were even more terrifying than those of a wild beast!
"This power..."
"This is the super power that only a Count can possess, the strength that only a Magus can have!"
Looking at his three arms, Maurice did not notice the strangeness in his emotions, or the shocked gazes of his colleagues around him, as if they were looking at a monster!
"Su Liang didn't lie to me, he really didn't lie to me!"
"Hahahahahahaha!"
"Bang!"
Amidst the bizarre laughter, Maurice suddenly exploded!
Countless flesh and shattered internal organs, with a disgusting smell, splashed all over the high-ranking officials of Busen City around him!
The appearance of this scene caused both sides to fall into a brief silence.
If there were specific symbols to express the feelings in their hearts, it might only be question marks.
