Lord of the Myriad Worlds

Chapter 570: Swamp Changes

Fortunately, at this time, the Royal Guard, who had previously had little presence on the battlefield, quickly took out logs and drove wooden stakes into the muddy swamp. With the fastest speed possible, they constructed an Elevated Platform that could accommodate everyone.

All the Blaze Knights put away their warhorses, each holding a shield and standing guard on top of it.

But this was also not a long-term plan.

"Hahaha! Heaven is helping me!"

The Samsara Travelers and Contractors, who had already been battered to the point of coughing up blood by the massive casualties, threw their heads back and laughed wildly. The Neanderthals had finally proven reliable; their nature magic had finally exerted sufficient effect, and the Great Swamp of Despair successfully appeared.

After the ground thawed out, one could sink two to three meters deep all at once. Coupled with the floodwaters that had already approached two meters, no matter how awesome a person or military unit was, they would be helpless.

At this moment, the allied forces of the Samsara Travelers and Contractors took out specially-made small boats one after another, and then connected these small boats together.

"Rangers and mages, prepare for a long-range strike! Strive to end the battle within half an hour! Moreover, I have some good news to tell you all: the Neanderthal side has already emergency-dropped fifty Five-Star Giant Crocodiles. They are currently five hundred kilometers away and will arrive in an hour. This kind of swampland is exactly the Land of Destiny for these Five-Star Giant Crocodiles!"

"You don't want this piece of fat meat that's already at our mouths to be snatched away by the Neanderthals, right!"

"We still can't be careless. Have you found the reason for the instant deaths of Old Cat and his group? They were three Fourth-Tier Rangers and three Druids, yet they were swallowed and killed in a single instant!""It might just be that the nature magic cast by the Neanderthals triggered a Great Frost vortex high in the sky. Nature magic is elusive like that; every spellcast inevitably comes with a price!"

At this time, after the Samsara Travelers and the Contractor Alliance discussed with each other for quite a while, the Contractor side ultimately didn't dare to launch their two Druids into the air.

They had indeed planned to do so previously.

In theory, with two Druids plus two Fourth-Tier Rangers occupying a Commanding Presence, they wouldn't need half an hour; they could completely wipe out the Blazing Legion trapped in the swamp in ten minutes.

But the fact that Old Cat and the other five were instantly wiped out had truly terrified them.

No one wanted to be swallowed up by the aftermath of nature magic.

"Then let's get closer. Rangers and mages will bombard them with ultimate moves. Once the cavalry is dismounted and trapped, there are no Legion Skills to speak of. What's left are just those Royal Guards, right? It's not a big problem!"

Very quickly, the wooden boats of the Samsara Travelers and Contractors gradually approached, from three kilometers to two kilometers. This was a relatively safe distance.

Mages could recklessly cast magic, and rangers could leisurely shoot arrows.

However, they couldn't shoot Origin Arrows. Just now, in order to focus fire on Mark and maximize the killing of the Blaze Knights, they had completely depleted their stock. Although they actually carried a lot of Origin Arrows, they couldn't squander them like this either.

Between the two sides combined, there were only twelve Fourth-Tier Rangers. Those two rounds of slaughter just now were entirely reliant on them.

"Be careful, they also have Archers. Warriors, hold your shields in front to block."

At this moment, the allied forces of the Samsara Travelers and Contractors had actually put aside their past grudges and enmities. After all, in the face of a big piece of fat meat, everything else was not worth worrying about.

"It's no good. Ordinary bows and arrows can't do anything to them from two kilometers away. Their shield formation is too tight!"

A ranger immediately shook his head after trying to shoot an arrow.

He was also quite impressed by these unkillable cockroaches. Their mobility was truly off the charts, especially those Royal Guards who seemed practically invisible on the battlefield. Just in that brief window of time, they had actually managed to construct a sturdy, temporary combat Platform island.

Right now, all the Blaze Knights were already standing on top of it. Wielding Five-Star Enchanted Tower Shields, they formed a shield formation that was impenetrable to even the wind. Without using Origin Arrows, it was fundamentally impossible to shoot through it.

"Then that only leaves mage attacks! Gather the mages and bombard them to death with ultimate moves."

In an instant, Great Fireballs fell from the sky one after another. Facing such an attack, the Royal Guards on the platform island let out a shout and actually quickly swapped positions with the Blaze Knights. It became the Royal Guards blocking on the outside and above; it was their turn to protect the Blaze Knights.

It couldn't be helped; a Five-Star Enchanted Tower Shield couldn't withstand this kind of fifth-tier Fire Meteor.

But the Royal Guards could.

Because, a few minutes ago, right at the most intense moment of the battle, Li Wei had already arrived.

But he had continuously remained transformed as a Level 6 Sky Hawk, circling at an altitude of ten kilometers above the ground. This distance ensured that the Royal Guard's 75% All-Element Magic Immunity took effect, while simultaneously guarding against the opponent's Druids taking to the sky.

He couldn't descend.

The second fundamental rule of a ranger was that one must never surrender the initiative to strike first.

If the enemy dispatched Druids plus rangers, it would inflict an extremely terrifying and fatal blow upon the Blazing Legion and the Royal Guard.

If he were to take off from the ground then to try and fight the enemy, he would just be seeking death.

That would be the most foolish action.

The only method was to hide within the clouds. If the enemy didn't send out Druids, fine. But once they did, he would unleash a fatal strike against them.

Because he continuously occupied the initiative to strike first; the one who strikes first is king.

So even while watching the Blazing Legion get slaughtered like harvested wheat, he didn't make a move. He simply continued to circle and wait.

He absolutely would not strike, even when the situation became like this.

However, the 75% All-Element Magic Immunity he provided still played a massive role at this moment.

No matter what Profession they were, all the Royal Guards took out Five-Star Enchanted Greatshields at this moment. Using themselves as barriers and city walls, they tanked the Great Fireballs, the massive bolts of lightning, Ice Spikes, and Wind Blades head-on. Anyway, all that messy stuff didn't matter; they could withstand it.

At worst, they could just continuously chug Life Potions while taking a beating.

In any case, you can't instantly kill us.

Just like this, the mages on the opposite side bombarded them back and forth for over a dozen rounds, yet there was actually not a single casualty or kill on this side.

How the fuck was this possible?

"The distance is too great, and the magic is dissipating too quickly. Moreover, the Neanderthals cast too intense of a nature magic, which triggered magical turbulence, leading to insufficient damage. So we have to get closer."

"Besides, these subordinates of Li Wei should have a magic immunity buff!"

On the Samsara Travelers' side, the very experienced mage Ah Ming spoke in a deep voice.

"Right. If we get closer, within a kilometer, we'll also be able to inflict damage using normal attacks."

"I keep feeling like something isn't right!"

Gold-Rimmed Glasses spoke expressionlessly, and the commander on the Contractor's side also shared this feeling.

Up to this moment, both of their sides combined had already suffered thirty-seven deaths. This price was too tragic.

And yet, up to now, let alone a big piece of fat meat, they hadn't even managed to eat a single strand of pig hair.

"There is something fishy about the deaths of Old Cat and the others!"

"If Li Wei has a Cryomancer and a powerful Druid under his command... Fuck!"

The two commanders glanced at each other.

"Can we hold out for a bit longer? The Neanderthals' reinforcements are about to arrive."

"No. Since it feels wrong, we must retreat first!"

"Retreat!"

The commanders of the two sides rapidly reached a consensus. Under the protesting opposition of the majority of their members, they forcefully suppressed the dispute and retreated!

The losses were certainly heartbreaking, but if they couldn't cut their losses in time, then the losses would be even greater.
