Unas struggled to adjust his posture in mid-air, and at the last moment before landing, his entire body spun 180 degrees, allowing the shield to block him between himself and the ground.
After a thud, he rolled several times to dissipate the impact, quickly got up, and glanced around. Korfax had fallen to the ground not far to his right, while the conspicuous red Flame Spider was 30 meters to his left. However, this short distance was crowded with all kinds of Giant Spiders with bared fangs and claws.
The spiders surrounding the landing point were not about to let this enemy who had come to his doorstep get away, and he was immediately surrounded.
Korfax's fate was exactly the same as Unas's. He made a decisive move, spreading his wings and soaring into the sky. His huge golden Light Wings flapped rapidly behind him. After adjusting his angle in the air, this Paladin, known for his Brute, swiftly swooped down towards the crimson Giant Spiders.
Unas followed suit, silently chanting "Wings of Vengeance," feeling all the energy in his body concentrate on his back and then burst out, instantly unfurling a pair of Light Wings identical to Korfax's from his back.
Before he could even process this new change, the Giant Spiders around him pounced. With a thought, Unas unleashed his Light Wings at maximum speed, instantly lifting him into the sky.
The wind howled in our ears, and the spider swarms, ice walls, and our troops on the ground were all shrinking rapidly. From an overhead viewpoint, we could immediately spot the Flame Spiders ' location.
Unas tried to adjust his angle like Korfax, but found that flying was not so simple. He had used too much force when he took off, and the irresistible inertia carried him over the ice wall and straight down toward his own army.
The people on the ground stared wide-eyed at the Warden in the air. Flying sounded cool, but the Warden's posture didn't seem very graceful. He landed unsteadily and wobbly in the Gnoll ranks, crushing several unlucky guys who went to pick him up.
Unas got up, covered in dust and dirt. He wasn't seriously injured, thanks to his efforts in controlling the flapping of his Light Wings, though it was a bit embarrassing.
Thinking that having wings means you can fly is incredibly naive. Even birds need to learn to fly, let alone terrestrial creatures like humans.
The Light Wings on his back hadn't disappeared. Unas was about to try again when the tall, thin figure outside the ice wall suddenly shot into the sky again, followed by a deafening roar, "Everyone, retreat!"
Even the usually fierce and fearless Korfax said so, which meant they really had to retreat. Unas immediately gave the order, and the troops began to retreat in an orderly fashion. He himself took to the air again to meet the "Brute" who was teetering on the edge of the sky.
Practice makes perfect. This time, Unas was no longer flustered. He slowed down the speed of his wing flapping, leaving room to control the angle of flight, and caught Korfax with great precision, whose Light Wings had almost dissipated and who smelled burnt all over.
Holding his shoulder tightly, Unas turned and flew back. He glanced down and saw that the spider swarm was also retreating, except for the Flame Spider, which remained in place, its huge abdomen swelling continuously.
Korfax's voice was hoarse and weak. "It was about to self-destruct; I almost managed to kill it completely."
His diving motion was deflected by a sudden spider web, and the sword strike that should have pierced the Flame Spider's entire head went slightly astray, failing to kill it on the spot. He was then hit by a mouthful of poisonous fire, and his internal injuries were more severe than his external injuries.
Unas helped him up and quickly flew into their own ranks, shouting, "Everyone, raise your shields!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than a muffled thud sounded from ahead, followed by a barrage of ice shards hurtling towards them. He quickly drew his shield to protect the two of them.
A fierce hailstorm struck the front ranks, but fortunately they had retreated far enough and most had raised their shields, so they were not seriously injured.
The Flame Spider's self-destruction blasted a gap eight or nine meters wide in the ice wall, and it was easy to imagine that the Giant Spiders would attack through the gap.
Unas tossed Korfax to a Priest, raised his sword, charged forward, and roared, "Follow me! Block the breach!"
The nine-meter-wide gap was wide enough for two or three Giant Spiders to walk side by side, and the swarm of spiders rushed forward, colliding fiercely at the gap!
The bravest Warriors gathered around Unas, regardless of whether they were humans, Elves, Orcs, Ogre, or Troll. At this moment, there was no distinction of race; everyone was fighting for survival.
All seventeen Orcs Warriors went berserk, their muscles bulging to make them appear even taller and stronger, their skin turning from green to crimson. Losing their sense of pain and fear, they charged forward relentlessly, even overtaking Unas, who was running at the front. This was not the result of his mental manipulation, but rather the Orcs unleashing their own Bloodlust.
Nightmoon and Perella, leading the Elf Ranger squad, carefully leaped onto the two intact ice walls, broke off some ice spikes to gain a foothold, and then frantically unleashed arrows and javelins at the spider swarm outside the walls.
The Ogres and Trolls' tall, thick bodies blocked the gap, preventing any spider from passing through this wall of flesh.
Unas had exhausted a lot of energy from flying two circles in the sky, and was somewhat powerless after a short while, but he was not in any danger. Raphael and his personal guard stayed by his side, but gradually fell behind and could only pick up the pieces when they were caught off guard.
After reaching level 30, personally killing a Giant Spiders (excluding boss-level spiders) grants an average of 4% experience, while joining a team to kill one only grants 1%. His current experience is 37%, and he needs to personally kill sixteen more Giant Spiders to level up and restore his status.
In such a fierce battle, it's impossible to order someone to leave the final blow to him; it's all down to luck.
After racking up over a dozen 1% and personally killing a three-headed spider, the battle took another turn when the Overlord Spider squad reappeared and charged straight at the spider swarm's rear.
This was a fatal blow to the spider colony. They faced a stubborn alien enemy that had invaded their homeland and they couldn't break through. They also faced a traitorous overlord. The spiders' will to resist melted away as quickly as ice and snow under the scorching sun.
It turned out that after Rosebayne and Haikesi guided the spider swarm to split, they found a place to hide for a while before returning. Seeing the fierce battle between the two sides, they naturally had to step forward to help, unexpectedly playing a decisive role.
The remaining thirty-odd Giant Spiders in the swarm began to collapse, with more and more spiders choosing to retreat, scatter, or flee. Unas immediately ordered the wall to move aside, and Qiaosen and Liante's cavalry charged out through the gap in the ice wall.
"Only pursue for three kilometers!" Unas shouted to the two, not wanting to go too deep and provoke the spider swarm to regroup.
A high-speed Charge cavalryman is a nightmare for any collapsing group. The Giant Spiders that did not have time to escape were immediately scattered and killed one by one. Only a small half managed to escape, but they still had to face a three-kilometer pursuit.
Watching the cavalry's retreating figures in the distance, Unas leaned on his sword and let out a deep breath. This adventurous battle was finally over.
