Lord of the Myriad Worlds

Chapter 543: Confrontation of Sanity

Without Li Wei needing to give detailed orders, Hunt, Shelt, Kyle, Chris, and the other ten Centurions of the Guard Legion had already rapidly made deployments.

Although the Guard Legion was best at combat in complex mountainous terrain, they were actually not bad at defending a city. Because in city defense combat, before strategic-level siege methods appeared, what was contested was tacit cooperation and the interaction efficiency of troops within a small area.

Especially since Li Wei led the Guard Legion out of Liwei Fort for training this time, he had made ample preparations. He had prepared a full fifty Enchanted Giant Ballistae. No magic power mines? No battlemages?

It didn't matter, because Li Wei also brought ten Magic Resource Cards, and the mana reserve was enough to fight several medium-scale battles.

What's more, Fierzway Fortress was a capital-level fortress with an extremely high defense rating. In reality, the Guard Legion only took out twenty Enchanted Giant Ballistae and rapidly completed the installation, which was enough to provide full coverage.

It didn't matter who the enemy for this upcoming battle was, nor did it matter how they attacked.

The Guard Legion had enough confidence to annihilate the invading enemies beneath the fortress walls.

As for Li Wei, he didn't pay attention to this. He just quickly retreated back beside the fire crystal fireplace, calmly and unhurriedly taking off the nearly damaged Five-Star Enchanted Light Armor, and then changing into the Five-Star Enchanted Heavy Armor.

Normally, he was accustomed to fighting in light armor. On the one hand, light armor was more flexible, and furthermore, in the light armor state, there was no delay when executing the Druid Transformation; he could complete the transformation instantly, which was flexible enough, provided higher mobility, and gave a greater chance of survival.

But in the heavy armor state, there was at least a two to three-second delay, which was an act of courting death.So once he changed into the Five-Star Enchanted Heavy Armor, he absolutely would not perform a Druid Transformation.

Therefore, Li Wei would only change into the Five-Star Enchanted Heavy Armor when he was certain he would fight a positional battle, a tough battle, or a battle with no room to dodge and shift, and he would also put all his best defense on the heavy armor.

There was no other way. Light armor offered too many possibilities to disengage from battle, while heavy armor meant he could only hold out to the end. If he was locked onto by the enemy in a positional or tough battle, wouldn't he die a miserable death if his defense wasn't enough?

On this set of heavy armor, there was not only one Sequence Six Magic Crest with two Sequence Five Warding Magics built in, but there was also a Sequence Four Magic Crest embedded in each of five locations: the center of the back, the head, the neck and shoulders, the lumbar spine, and the knees.

It mainly provided 360-degree protection with no blind spots.

This was personally tailor-made for him by Hathaway, in collaboration with Li Yue and Zhao Xuanxuan, specifically to be used in the event of a decisive, head-to-head battle.

After changing into this set of Five-Star Enchanted Heavy Armor, Li Wei felt his mood improve quite a bit.

Next, he climbed up to the highest point of the fortress alone, took out a full five hundred 4-Star Armor-Piercing Arrows and twenty 5-Star Magic-Bane Arrows, drew the Frost Ranger Bow, and with a casual shot, blew up the head of a Magic Zombie hundreds of meters away.

A commanding presence, a wide field of vision, a strong bow and a fierce archer, flawless marksmanship!

This was simply the most dreamed-of tactical environment for the Ranger class.

As for what conspiracy that Arcane Giant Zombie had, what plots it had, whether it planned to ambush or perform long-range bombardment, it didn't matter. The opponent seemed cruel and cunning, and had become a bit smarter, but it was useless.

Without enough tough and powerful melee units charging forward, then these over eight hundred Magic Zombies were just coming up to deliver themselves on a platter.

In just under a minute, Li Wei leisurely shot out eighty-eight arrows, every arrow an explosive hit!

Of course, he also kept enough attention to observe the surroundings: up in the sky, down on the ground, north, south, east, west, any direction was fine. Even though he only had 18 points of perception left at this moment, it was enough to defend Fierzway Fortress.

What's even more wonderful was that that fellow Fierzway was also a 4th-Tier Ranger and a Quasi-Legend himself. The fortress he designed and built was suitable for Archers and all ranged classes to exert their power in every aspect and detail.

Li Wei right now just wanted to give him a hundred likes.

And at this time, the first line of defense of the fortress had already begun engaging the enemy. As expected, those Magic Zombies transformed from Neans were almost completely suppressed, but there was one thing that was not quite good. When they only had one or two Life Cores left, they would self-destruct into countless frost crystals. With the buff of the Great Frost, this could even form a Frost Crystal Storm with a radius of dozens of meters.

If it weren't for the Guard Legion's reactions being truly flexible, the fortress barrier, and the massive supply of fire crystals, the walls would have already been breached by these Magic Zombies, allowing them to drive straight in.

But at this time, Li Wei still hadn't directly intervened, just leisurely shooting arrows from above while staying alert to the surroundings. That Arcane Giant Zombie could appear at any time, and he couldn't give it the slightest opportunity.

And the battle below grew increasingly fierce.

Although those Magic Zombies couldn't perform technical sieges, just this one move of self-destructing into frost crystals really made the Guard Legion suffer immensely. The frost crystals formed by those self-destructions had already rapidly formed a new ice wall.

And on this kind of ice wall, those Magic Zombies seemed as if they had stepped onto a perpetual motion machine. Not only were their speeds faster and attacks stronger, but they also almost never exhausted their energy. Even if a Life Core was blown up, it could rapidly recover in just a dozen seconds.

The Guard Legion began to have sporadic casualties, but the problem wasn't big. Firstly, the Necromancer Tower could pull the Fallen in Battle into a Near-Death State, and secondly, Li Wei held the power of the Universal Gold Card in his hands, which could rapidly restore their condition.

So if Li Wei and that Arcane Giant Zombie wandering outside the battlefield were not taken into account, the Guard Legion had truly encountered their trickiest enemy this time.

Meeting their match indeed!

The advantages of the Magic Zombies were too great. Self-destructing into Frost Crystal Storms, frost crystals shattering, the advance of the Great Frost, and the continuously firing Frost Bolts. They were clearly a group of Magic Zombies with no sanity and no technique, yet they stubbornly executed one small combo after another.

But the Guard Legion, relying on the tacit cooperation of all members, the collaboration between different troop types, and the fire crystals, were always able to hold the fortress walls.

In the blink of an eye, the two sides had already been fighting fiercely inside and outside the fortress for over half an hour.

The number of Magic Zombies had dwindled to just over a hundred, but every single one of them had successfully advanced to Level Six, which was equivalent to an above-average 5-Star Professional, or could be considered a 3rd-Tier Master. In short, their growth rate was too fast. Li Wei even had the illusion that this Arcane Giant Zombie was using them as a whetstone to train its troops.

The Guard Legion could still maintain zero casualties here, but in reality, the Necromancer Tower's revival quota for the day had been exhausted, and the consumption of fire crystals was approaching the danger line; using Three-Star Charcoal for burning and charging was almost unable to keep up.

If this continued, casualties would be unavoidable, and large-scale casualties would definitely occur.

However, that Arcane Giant Zombie actually hadn't appeared the whole time. Li Wei was slightly anxious; the situation was getting a bit out of control.

In the next second, he had to make a choice. He activated Magic-Piercing Perception, leaped into the air, and even though he was wearing the heavy and cumbersome Five-Star Enchanted Heavy Armor, it didn't delay him in the slightest from flipping over the eaves of the fortress with the most agile movements. With a tap of his feet, he had already landed on that special ice wall.

The instant he landed, the Frost Ranger Bow had already begun a killing spree!

Yes, as a 4th-Tier Legend with absolutely no exaggeration in his title, this kind of killing was as simple as drinking water and eating a meal.

One could almost not even see him drawing the bow and shooting arrows, nor did he need the Five-Fate Resonance. Just the Artifact Bow + 5-Star Magic-Bane Arrow + Perception was already enough!

Twelve arrows in one second!

The bodies of the twelve strongest Frost Magic Zombies cracked apart in the next instant, completely cracking apart—cracking from the source. Although the 5-Star Magic-Bane Arrows shot by Li Wei only hit their strongest Life Core, the magic-piercing force attached to the Magic-Bane Arrow was still enough to shatter their origin!

No matter how many Life Cores they had, no matter how fast, cunning, and flexibly their Life Cores flowed and shifted, it was all meaningless!

Big or small, no matter how many, no matter where they were, they all shattered, died, and were annihilated without exception!

This was the battlefield dominance of a 4th-Tier Legend!

It completely left no room for dodging, no room for defense, and no room for escape!

If Li Wei had encountered a 4th-Tier Legendary Ranger that day, instead of a Ranger stuck between Master and Legend, he would have died long ago, without the slightest chance to struggle!

In the next second, Li Wei shot another twelve arrows, with the same speed, the same power, and the same unquestionability!

By the third second, it was still the same result.

Thirty-six arrows in three seconds, directly shooting and killing the thirty-six most powerful Frost Magic Zombies, instantly rewriting the battlefield situation!

When the three-second crowd control ended, Li Wei dodged and leaped back to the highest point of the fortress again. His speed couldn't be described as not fast, completely lacking any sloppiness and indecisiveness. But in this time of less than five seconds, the combat opportunity had already been captured by that Arcane Giant Zombie.

Because it had been waiting. It had become smarter, become more rational, and could even endure until this moment.

And the method it used was completely beyond Li Wei's expectations: an avalanche!

A massive avalanche!

Tens of millions of tons of accumulated snow, driven by some kind of power, swept over like a raging tide. The instant it heavily bombarded Fierzway Fortress, apart from the people inside the fortress and the battlefield in the other direction, the entire fortress was instantly buried by snow. Even someone as strong as Li Wei had to rapidly lie down to avoid the impact force.

But also right at this moment, a Black Ice Spike, about fifty meters long and half a meter thick, fell like lightning from several thousand meters up in the sky. Carved onto that ice spike were complex, bizarre, and mysterious magic textures, carrying a terrifying, icy aura of slaughter, as if the Frost Mana within a dozen kilometers was extracted to this place at this moment!

And at the tip of this Black Ice Spike, a blood-drenched eye was embedded, but that was actually a Life Core—a Life Core from that Arcane Giant Zombie's body!

To kill Li Wei, it was rare for it to use its brain, rare for it to meticulously plan!

And this was indeed a sure-kill move!

The starting speed was five times the speed of sound, and it firmly locked onto Li Wei, giving him not the slightest chance to dodge or escape.

A one-hit kill!

Too fast.

But just at the instant Li Wei was about to be pierced through by this bizarre and terrifying Black Ice Spike, that Sequence Five Magic Crest on his body automatically activated!

Seven-colored mana oscillated upwards, like bursting auroras, followed closely by layer after layer of magnificent magic runes spreading out. In an instant, they expanded to a radius of three thousand meters.

It was hard to imagine what kind of Warding Magic this was!

But it indeed took effect. Li Wei didn't sense the slightest bit of threat, and then that black, bizarre, and terrifying ice spike cracked inch by inch, vanishing into ashes!

And almost simultaneously, the mana within a twenty-mile radius was drained completely dry!
