61: The enemy troops showed their magical powers and were amazed by the magic show.

After John's furious curses, he forced himself to calm down, then roared at the surrounding Lords, "Everyone, hold your ground!"

He pointed in Mo Yan's territory's direction, his eyes fierce: "The opponent only has one hero unit, but we have three!"

"I refuse to believe we can't take down his tiny territory!"

John's gaze swept over Yamamoto, then looked at another Eagle Country Lord beside him, Clive:

"Yamamoto, Clive, have your hero units attack together."

Barton, John's subordinate hero, roared, a thick metallic sheen appearing on his bronzed skin. He powerfully pushed off with his legs, charging first towards Mo Yan's territory.

Clive's hero, the blonde woman known as Lightning Cat, followed closely behind, her figure agile and graceful, with electric arcs flickering at her fingertips.

Yamamoto's hero, the Fire Mage, muttered incantations, and a scorching fireball rapidly condensed in his hand.

"Other Lords, use skills for defensive counterattacks."

Clive, a tall, thin man with a gloomy expression, nodded upon hearing this.

He raised both hands, palms facing the ground, and lowly chanted, "Earth and stone surge, barrier!"

Rumble—

At the front of the battlefield, behind the cannon fodder confused by Bai Lingyue's illusion, in front of the enemy Soldier formation.

The ground suddenly vibrated violently, and dirt and rubble rolled.

In the blink of an eye, three thick earth and stone walls rose from the ground, blocking them like shields!

These earth walls were not tall, only about two meters, but they were enough to block most Soldiers' figures.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

On the wooden wall, Mo Yan's Archers once again shot a volley of arrows.

However, most of the arrows hit those earth walls, only emitting dull "thud, thud" sounds.

As if hitting an invisible, tough barrier, the arrowheads deeply embedded into the earth and stone but could not penetrate.

A few arrows that flew over the earth walls were also blocked by enemy Soldiers with their shields.

"Hmph, petty tricks!" Clive sneered, a hint of smugness on his face.

His superpower was controlling earth and stone for defense or terrain manipulation.

Although these temporarily constructed earth and stone barriers could not last, they were sufficient to withstand a few rounds of arrow rain.

At the same time, Yamamoto also scrambled up from the ground, looking disheveled.

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and glared venomously at John's back.

Then he hissed softly at the two Lords under his command, who were also wearing Japanese clothing.

"Lord Tsuchimikado, Lord Iga, please!"

The two Japanese Lords exchanged glances and nodded.

One of them, a short, stout Lord named Tsuchimikado, pulled out a stack of talismans from his Pregnant.

He muttered incantations, his fingers rapidly drawing on the talismans.

"Flame Burst Talisman!" He chanted lowly, flinging three talismans forward.

Whoosh!

Three fist-sized fireballs appeared out of thin air, carrying scorching heatwaves, whistling as they smashed towards Mo Yan's wooden wall!

The other Lord, named Iga, formed hand seals, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

"Wind Blade Dance!"

The air around him rapidly flowed, forming several pale green wind blades.

The wind blades cut like sharp edges, emitting piercing whooshing sounds, following the fireballs and shooting towards the wooden wall.

Mo Yan's eyes narrowed, and he thought to himself, "Here it comes, magic and superpowers..."

The enemy's counterattack was even faster and more fierce than he had anticipated.

The fireballs and wind blades were clearly targeting the Archers on the wooden wall!

"Scatter! Pay attention to defense!" Bai Lingyue's clear, cold voice echoed from the wooden wall.

The Archers immediately scattered, seeking cover.

Boom, boom, boom!

The three fireballs smashed into the wooden wall, erupting in violent flames.

Wood chips flew, and the ignited wooden wall emitted thick smoke.

Fortunately, the Soldiers dodged in time, causing no direct casualties, but they were greatly frightened.

The subsequent wind blades then cut into the wooden wall with "thud, thud, thud" sounds.

Leaving several deep gashes, a few Soldiers who failed to dodge in time had their arms cut, blood flowing freely.

"Hahahaha, do you see, Dragon Country kid!" John laughed arrogantly from the rear.

"This is our true strength; your wooden wall is simply Vulnerable!"

He ordered again: "All Soldiers, maintain formation, rely on the earth walls, and steadily advance!"

"Archers, suppress with fire arrows! Don't stop!"

The enemy's Archers also began to exert their strength, with burning fire arrows cutting through the snowstorm.

Like meteors, they shot towards Mo Yan's territory, targeting not only the wooden wall but also the buildings within the territory.

Within the territory, the atmosphere instantly became extremely tense.

The enemy's offensive came in waves: earth wall defense, fireball and wind blade attacks, fire arrow suppression.

With this combination of attacks, Mo Yan's defensive pressure sharply increased.

The remote advantage they originally held was quickly negated by the opponent's tactics.

"Lord, their firepower is too fierce!" an old veteran captain anxiously shouted to Mo Yan.

Although the wooden wall had been reinforced, it could not withstand such continuous attacks.

Especially those fire arrows, once they ignited the buildings within the territory, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Mo Yan's expression remained calm, but his eyes became increasingly sharp.

He glanced at Bai Lingyue, who also had a solemn expression beside him.

"Their heroes and Lords have started to act," Mo Yan said in a deep voice, "The defensive pressure will only get greater."

Bai Lingyue nodded, her tone cold: "If the earth walls aren't broken, our Archers will have no way to attack."

"Lord, it's time for your subordinate to give them a real surprise."

As soon as she finished speaking, without waiting for Mo Yan's reply, her figure flashed.

She transformed into a white shadow, gracefully leaping down from the Arrow Tower.

She did not charge towards the enemy formation but instead swept towards the chaotic cannon fodder area in front of the territory.

The three heroes under John, Yamamoto, and Clive—Barton, Lightning Cat, and Fire Mage—were aggressively charging towards Mo Yan's territory.

Barton, his muscles bulging, was like a human tank, each step he took in the snow leaving a deep footprint.

He had no weapon in his hand, but his metallic-sheened skin was more intimidating than any shield.

Lightning Cat, her golden hair flying in the snowstorm, electric arcs crackling at her fingertips.

Her speed was extremely fast, like a ghost in the snow, her figure shifting left and right, difficult to capture.

The Fire Mage, while rushing, continuously formed hand seals and chanted incantations, and scorching fire elements gathered around him.

The surrounding snowflakes were evaporated before they could even get close.

Three heroes, three different abilities, enveloped them from three directions.

Their target was clear, directly aiming for the core of Mo Yan's territory.

However, just as they were about to charge into the chaotic cannon fodder crowd.

Bai Lingyue moved.

She stood about fifty meters from the cannon fodder, quickly forming hand seals, and the moment the last seal was completed.

A much stronger mental wave, centered on her, instantly erupted!

Boom—!

An invisible shockwave swept across the battlefield.

The cannon fodder, who were already killing each other in the illusion, suddenly froze.

Their eyes became even more terrified, and they let out shrill screams.

This time, the illusion's intensity was clearly higher.

The cannon fodder no longer attacked each other but fled in all directions!

They completely ignored the enemy Soldiers behind them, and a few even directly collided with the charging Barton.

"Get lost!" Barton roared, casually swinging his arm.

Those few cannon fodder were sent flying like ragdolls, and when they landed, they had already lost their breath.

But more cannon fodder surged madly towards the three heroes, completely blocking their path.

"Damn it!" Lightning Cat was agile and tried to avoid these troublesome cannon fodder.

But there were too many of them, and their eyes were unfocused, their attacks completely erratic.

The Fire Mage's fire spell was interrupted, and he had to stop casting, using low-level magic to drive away the civilians who were rushing at him.

The scene was completely out of control, and the three heroes were surrounded by a tide of cannon fodder, unable to advance or retreat.
