Chapter 1348: Storms Rise _2
As for the human soldiers, they naturally remained on high alert within Ice Stone City, constantly ready to form a pincer movement with the Waterfall Watcher Fortress to address any potential crisis.
The time passed quickly until the voice of Pterosaur Knight Captain Sean, responsible for high-altitude reconnaissance, reached Leo Ray's ears: "Reporting to the Lord, the Flower Fairy army is already within arm's reach of the Fluorescent Stone Waterfall! On the other side, the Troll army is also advancing grandiosely!"
Just as Sean's words fell, direction of Fluorescent Stone Waterfall, a multitude of dazzling golden lights began to appear, rapidly illuminating the space like a sunrise, while simultaneously a uniform and mighty energy wave surged into the sky, sweeping around like a landslide and tsunami, an overwhelming force.
"Indeed, it's the Flower Fairies. Even when the army marches, they still make such a high-profile entrance, like nouveau riches."
The Woody Fairy Crisis couldn't help but curl her lips, clearly having a grudge against their distant relatives.
And it's no wonder, over three thousand years, in the limited interactions with the Flower Fairies, the slightly weaker Woody Fairies were always at a disadvantage, even suffering casualties, trampled beneath them.
Just as Crisis's words fell, on the other side of the Fluorescent Stone Waterfall, countless lights began to appear too, but unlike the bright golden light of the Flower Fairies, it was a deep dark blue and green, intensifying as even our side of the group, several kilometers away, felt rather eerie.
Not only that, a mighty energy wave, no less than that of the Flower Fairies, also surged forth, causing the originally calm surroundings of Giant Valley to become increasingly stormy. Amidst it, Leo Ray even faintly caught a pungent fishy smell, almost nauseating.
"It's the Troll army! Only this primitive humanoid group known for their brutality and savagery would emit such terrifying light! And this revolting smell is also one of their intimidation tactics! Allegedly made from the corpses of their opponents!"
Broy first involuntarily shivered and then frowned, saying: "Moreover, the sorcerers among the Trolls can even make fresh corpses speak, it's truly horrifying."
"The Trolls have five major tribes, the most notorious being the Bone Erosion Tribe and the Evil Thorn Tribe, and the other three also exist with extreme tyranny."
Shuert, with a face like a carved wooden statue, spoke gravely: "The Trolls never return empty-handed from an expedition, and with such a grand mobilization now, a bloody battle is surely about to commence."
Sure enough, just before Shuert's aged words ended, without any warning, the Flower Fairy camp and Troll camp began singing at the same time, the surging intensity shaking the heavens and the earth, causing the entire space to seem to boil.
Noticing this scene, Leo Ray's eyes couldn't help but widen slightly.
Shuert is indeed correct, although the reason remains unknown, it seems the Flower Fairy army and the Troll army that first arrived are clearly about to engage each other.
In the blink of an eye, a multitude of massive rose-colored magic arrays began to surface in front of the Flower Fairy camp, and the Trolls, not to be outdone, also revealed rows of dark green giant magic arrays.
In the next second, towering giants over ten meters tall began to rapidly form within the respective magic arrays of both sides, quickly exiting the arrays and charging fiercely toward each other.
"Summoning arrays, are they? Given the several kilometers of separation, using summoned golem puppets for initial confrontation and probing is indeed a smart tactic."
Leo Ray nodded slightly, closely observing the situation on the battlefield opposite.
Moonlight scattered onto the shapes of the massive golem puppets formed, casting enormous silhouettes.
On the Flower Fairy side, the summoned ones were giant soldiers in rose-colored heavy armor wielding heavy swords; the bright rose-colored armor was extremely striking, while the Trolls had summoned stone giants wielding clubs, ensconced with thorns and vines. Despite the different forms, both exuded formidable auras.
"The Giant Flower Knights and the Ridge Giants, all these are Tier 6 humanoid golem puppets. The numbers on both sides likely exceed 100 each!"
Broy blurted out from the observation platform, staring at the crowded array of giants in the distance: "Right at the start, they've unveiled high-tier combat power comparable to 10 Tier 3 legions each, it truly seems a grand battle is at hand!"
As Broy was speaking, the giant golem puppets from both sides, brimming with unparalleled might, had already engaged fiercely.
In an instant, the massive bodies blotted out the sun, as clubs and swords clashed back and forth, creating fierce gales and shouldered with immense earth-shaking force; the spectacle was breathtaking, even Leo Ray and the others watching from the opposite side of the valley could feel the fortress trembling crazily, a truly impressive display.
The battle didn't stop there—just as the golem puppets made contact, the singing from both camps continued intensifying.
This time, the Flower Fairy camp clearly acted quicker. Accompanied by the emergence of another gigantic magic array in mid-air, countless giant rose-colored arrows poured down like a sudden storm, tracing dazzling rose-colored paths across the sky, swiftly crossing the battling golem puppets toward the Troll camp.
"Your Majesty of the Humans, this is the Flower Fairy's group spell, Rose Arrow Rain!"
Crisis's starry eyes widened as she blurted out.
Once, the Woody Fairies suffered significant losses to this move from the Flower Fairies. The penetration power of these rose arrows was formidable, easily breaking through the absolute defenses of major peaks in the Mountain Forest Secret Realm in the past.
"Group spell, indeed?"
On hearing this, Leo Ray nodded thoughtfully while observing intently.
As expected, compared to ordinary spells, group spells cast collectively by mages of legion scale or above wield enormous power, even surpassing that of Tier 6 experts. From an overall combat perspective, a single Tier 3 legion alone could rival 10 newly promoted Tier 6 experts.
Just as Leo Ray contemplated this, those rose-colored arrows gracefully traced arcs in the air before rapidly plummeting towards the Troll camp, a dark mass emitting a chilling green glow.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A series of dull thuds resonated in the air above the Troll camp held under the eerie green light of the absolute defense barrier, and while the rain of arrows failed to harm the Trolls, the visibly dimming green glow of the barrier indicated that its strength was weakening.
However, as they came under attack, the Troll camp wasn't idle; with coarse, eerie singing, dark clouds gathered over the Flower Fairy camp, as countless green-glowing droplets formed in thin air and poured down madly, relentlessly striking against their absolute defense barrier.
Despite the seemingly soft water droplets exerting little force, the Flower Fairy's barrier continually emitted smoke, the sizzling sound of corrosion so distinct that even Leo Ray on the opposite end could hear it clearly.
"This is the Trolls' group spell, Bone Eroding Fall, capable of bringing down even ordinary dragons, continuously pursuing targets until nothing remains!"
Broy's eyes widened in horror, blurting out.
As the exchanges continued, Leo Ray noted further.
Despite both sides' ferocity, the Flower Fairies clearly held the advantage, whether in the intense golem puppet battle or the brilliance of the absolute defense barriers, they remained on top.
This was hardly surprising, after all, like the Woody Fairies, the Flower Fairies were naturally born magicians, rarely boasting strong physical abilities. Although the Trolls' magic was more ferocious and insidious, they clearly didn't match up to the Flower Fairies' overall strength.
However, just as the Flower Fairy camp, having gained the upper hand, lifted their voices in higher chant, preparing to break the Trolls' absolute defense barrier in one fell swoop, an unexpected change suddenly occurred.
