On the desolate Gobi Plateau, the gravel rolled up by the strong wind continued to hit the cliffs, like a hundred ghosts roaring, and mixed with the sound of the wind, there were sonorous drums.

Under a huge cliff somewhere on the plateau, tens of thousands of troops from the Azromar Empire gathered here and were fighting bloody battles.

The 'enemy' surrounded by them was a super large beast in front of the cliff.

This is a sphinx monster, tens of meters tall, with a mane like a snake, skin like iron scales, a pair of bat wings growing on its back, and a gleaming scorpion-hook poison needle extending from the tip of its tail.

The manticore, a mythical monster that is said to have been entrenched in the depths of the desert all year round, actually appeared in front of Eldromar's army at this moment.

The shouts of killing were loud, and the roars of monsters resounded like thunder in the sky. As a mythical creature, even if the manticore faced an army of 100,000 people alone, it was not inferior in terms of momentum or combat effectiveness. The reason why it is still in the

The state of being surrounded by a large army is purely because the manticore wants to guard its territory - the cliff behind it!

In the middle of the cliff behind the manticore, there is a circular cave entrance with a diameter of several tens of meters.

That was the manticore's lair, but the entrance to the lair was already covered by a barrier. It was a barrier directly connected to the manticore's life. Before the manticore's health dropped below 50%, that barrier

The world will be in an invincible state.

Because of this, the 100,000-strong army led by Evans had to fight the Manticore head-on.

"Right!"

"Archers prepare... to fire arrows!"

"Mage team, quagmire formation!"

…

In the middle of the army, one of Evans' deputy officers was holding a military flag and giving orders in an orderly manner.

Under his skilled command, this well-trained team unleashed its greatest fighting power. Even when faced with a mythical creature like the Manticore, they still fought back and forth.

Of course, just relying on a large number of people is not enough. If there is no master to restrain them, the Manticore can easily destroy them all with one big move.

The person responsible for restraining the manticore at this moment is the strongest man in the entire empire, Legion Commander Evans.

As one of the few top level 30 masters in the entire Celestial Spirit World, Evans fought with the Manticore in close quarters without any fear.

I saw swords blazing high in the sky, and crescent-shaped sword energy flew out from the broadsword in Evans's hand continuously, exploding handfuls of blood flowers all over the manticore's body.

The stormy offensive made it impossible for even the thick-skinned Manticore to ignore his presence. He roared to the sky, and dozens of huge stone cones quickly formed in the sky. Then under the control of the Manticore, it was difficult to see with the naked eye.

With the speed of identification, he stabbed towards Evans below one after another.

Boom boom...

Each stone cone will cause an explosion below, making the surrounding soldiers sweat for Evans.

Evans, on the other hand, showed off his superb combat intuition. He kept rolling around in the blasting air waves, and one falling stone after another fell around him.

After a series of smooth dodges, all the stone cones fell down without hitting any of them. At the same time, Evans turned his hand, and the billowing sword energy continued to explode on the manticore.

The scene suddenly burst into cheers. The strength of the regiment commander Evans made all the soldiers excited and their morale greatly increased!

The manticore, on the other hand, was already agitated by being slithered around by an inconspicuous ant, and the cheers around it at this moment were even more mocking in its ears.

The manticore roared suddenly, raised its whole lion body, and then fell rapidly, hitting the ground heavily with both fists.

"boom!"

Following the manticore's movements, more than ten whirlwinds suddenly formed on the sand at the scene, swirling and raising dust all over the sky, sweeping towards the densely packed soldiers around them.

"The strong wind is coming, quickly arrange in lightning formation!"

The commander in the formation hurriedly waved the flag and shouted.

The tens of thousands of soldiers below also ordered and prohibited, and instantly began to change their formations.

The entire army is like a tree diagram, with many empty cracks splitting out from it, twisting and turning and spreading outward. Viewed from a high altitude, the entire army seems to have been struck by lightning, with many spacious roads emerging from the dense formation.

.

What's even more amazing is that, as if they were deliberately cooperating with their actions, the dozens of whirlwinds swept through the vacated roads one after another, without affecting the armies on both sides at all.

Tens of seconds later, all the whirlwinds disappeared, and the scattered armies gathered together again. They perfectly dodged this manticore's ultimate move!

No one was surprised at all by this, because they had been fighting the Manticore here on and off for three days, during which time they had figured out all the Manticore's abilities and restraint methods, and only then were they able to fight against the Manticore with ease.

As the same saying goes, a boss who has been thoroughly investigated is no longer a threat. This applies not only to players, but also to these aboriginal armies.

"Keep it, come again! Archers are ready..."

Amid the commander's shouts, all the soldiers returned to their original positions and began a new round of attacks...

In the middle of the battlefield, Evans once again easily dodged the manticore's claw. Amid the opponent's incompetent fury, he retreated temporarily and at the same time threw a detection spell at the manticore.

Manticore, level 31, current life: 17095415/34200000.

Evans breathed a sigh of relief. After three days of continuous battles, they finally knocked down 50% of the manticore's health!

From this moment on, the manticore lair behind has become breakable.

Next, they just need to find a way to lure the manticore away from the entrance of the lair, and then send their prepared demolition team to break through the entrance, and then they can break into the cave and find the magic lamp.

Everything was going smoothly according to plan, but there was always a sense of uneasiness lingering in Evans's heart.

What he is worried about is not the combat effectiveness of his army, whether it can hold on until the entrance is opened. These are elites who have been trained by him personally. They have strong willpower, and it will not be a problem even if they fight the manticore for a day and night.

But the premise of all this is that no one comes to interfere with them.

Evans couldn't help but use his peripheral vision to look beyond the mountains in the distance. Now he was only one step away from the birth of the magic lamp. Will that person appear?

Captain Ghost has not appeared again in the past three days, but Evans does not dare to be careless at all. After all, the opponent is the strongest among the Fools, and he is also the Lord of Sky City. Both his strength and appeal cannot be underestimated.

watch for.

His intuition reminded him that the other party would not let him get the magic lamp so easily...

Evans shook his head. No matter what, it was time to collect the results of victory and there was no time to hesitate.

Evans landed and hurriedly accelerated his attack again. The dense sword energy exploded all over the manticore's body, instantly making the manticore build a stronger hatred towards him.

The manticore was furious and rushed towards him with a roar.

Evans took the opportunity to fight and retreat, attracting the manticore to gradually move away from the entrance of the lair.

As the manticore retreated a thousand meters away, the entire cliff was finally completely exposed to his army.

The commander was overjoyed and hurriedly ordered the demolition team that had been preparing for a long time to start taking action.

On the front line of the army, a small group of elites suddenly separated and secretly moved towards the manticore's nest, already holding various powerful magics in their hands.

Unfortunately, the manticore was not that slow. Not long after chasing it, it realized something, stopped hurriedly, turned around and caught the group approaching its lair. It was furious and started to flap its wings immediately.

before flying back to the nest.

Fortunately, Evans was also prepared for this situation. When he saw the manticore noticed, he immediately stopped holding back and instantly exploded with all his strength. A storm of attacks came out of his hands and all hit the manticore.

Even though he was as strong as the Manticore, he was stunned by Evans' sudden outburst. He was staggered by the impact and had no time to think about it.

The army line also took the opportunity to move over and block the manticore's path, completely separating it from the entrance to the lair and buying time for the demolition team.

"roar!"

Realizing that it had been tricked, the manticore roared angrily and immediately tried desperately to break through the obstruction and return to defend the lair. However, under the fearless obstruction of Evans and the army, it was never able to take a step closer to the lair.

"Hold on! The dawn of victory is ahead!" The commander's shout spread across the entire battlefield.

However, just when everyone thought the plan could proceed so smoothly.

From outside the valley in the distance, there was suddenly a loud shouting of killing.

Many people looked back subconsciously, and saw outside their army formation, on the cliff in the distance, a mighty group of people came around the corner and came in. It was none other than the thousands of followers of the Caesar Sect.

!

Everyone suddenly became nervous. All the soldiers knew very well that this group of people was their most direct competitor in this operation. Now the opponent has indeed appeared at this special node. Although the opponent has a small number, they are now fighting against them.

At the critical moment when Manticore is racing against time, he has no time to deal with these people!

"Lord Evans!"

The commander looked quickly at Evans for instructions.

While Evans was dealing with the Manticore with all his strength, he glanced out of the corner of his eye and quickly asserted: "Don't worry, it's a feint attack, keep moving!"

Years of experience in leading troops in battles allowed him to see at a glance that those people were only charging boldly on the surface, but in fact they had no fighting spirit at all. They were obviously relying on momentum to attract their attention, and they would definitely be defeated and flee immediately when the battle officially started.

.

Feint attack, that is, the real attack will come from somewhere else.

Where?

Evans immediately scanned the entire battlefield, including the front, rear, left and right, including the high altitude, but found nothing unusual.

Just when he was feeling a little strange, suddenly, there was a slight tremor under the ground.

"It's actually underground?" Evans frowned.

And by the time he realized this, it was already too late.
