"So strong..."
Sun Lei murmured softly, his eyes flashing with sharp light!
He no longer hesitated, sheathed his long sword, and quickly ran towards the City Guard.
"Yargh#¥*~!!!"
The Goblins finally snapped out of their daze, letting out unpleasant screeches at Sun Lei and launching an attack!
Seeing the Goblins pouncing at him from all sides, Sun Lei showed no panic. Instead, he raised his long sword to meet them!
Sword Strike!
Consecutive Sword Strikes!
Even the simplest sword techniques seemed to possess immense power when wielded by Sun Lei!
Continuous sword shadows flickered in the air, making it appear as if Sun Lei had multiple swords in his hands!
Swish, swish, swish, swish—
Sun Lei swung his long sword, and with every swing, Goblins could be seen howling in pain as they fell!
The blood and dismembered limbs of various Goblins flew into the air, or splattered onto Sun Lei's face!
In a short period, hundreds of Goblins were piled at Sun Lei's feet!
Moss's five enhanced talents were like a super amplifier, boosting Sun Lei's strength to a level comparable to Gold-grade!
Don't think this is a joke; Moss's five enhanced talents were all at the formidable Level VII!
For an ordinary Awakened One, just leveling these five talents to Level 7 would require at least 35 skill points!
If obtained solely through leveling up, one would have to reach Gold-grade to accumulate so many skill points!
This just goes to show how terrifying the ability of her Golden Finger was!
The commotion Sun Lei was causing was clearly seen by the City Guard.
"So strong, who is that?"
"Huh? Isn't that Sun Lei!"
"What! Didn't they say he was dead?"
Some of the City Guard members who had rotated out for a rest recognized Sun Lei, and a wave of discussion erupted.
"Sun Lei?"
Wu Ming's eyes lit up as he watched Sun Lei approaching the team from a distance!
Sun Lei had some reputation within the City Guard; at least Wu Ming often heard his name and knew what he looked like.
However, Wu Ming hadn't expected Sun Lei to still be alive, and seemingly much stronger!
Seeing Sun Lei effortlessly cutting through the Goblins, Wu Ming quickly ordered the squad leader beside him:
"Go reinforce him quickly!"
"Yes!"
A small squad immediately charged out of formation, heading towards Sun Lei.
Not long after, Sun Lei appeared before Wu Ming. Upon seeing him, Sun Lei adopted a serious expression and saluted, saying:
"Captain Sun Lei of the Fourth Squad, under Captain Lei Yuanyun! Hello, Captain Wu Ming!"
Wu Ming nodded at Sun Lei, his gaze falling on Moss on his shoulder, and then asked:
"Hello, are you the only one left? Where are Luo Wei and Li Wen?"
Sun Lei's expression darkened. He shook his head and said in a low voice:
"Captain Luo Wei and Captain Li Wen... and the members who stayed behind to cover our retreat... they are all dead."
"It's because of them that I managed to survive."
Wu Ming sighed and nodded, patting Sun Lei's arm. "I see. Don't be too sad; at least you're alive, aren't you?"
"Let them live on in your heart!"
Sun Lei took a deep breath and nodded. "I know, that's why I've returned!"
Sun Lei turned his head and looked in the direction of the ongoing battle.
Even surrounded by hundreds of people, those four tall figures were still incredibly conspicuous!
Sun Lei gripped his sword hilt, turned back, and said to Wu Ming with a resolute expression:
"Captain Wu Ming, I'm going to deal with the Ogres!"
Wu Ming raised an eyebrow, nodded, and smiled. "I don't have the authority to order you. The commander this time is Li Mengzhang, so you should go find him."
"Thank you! Captain Wu Ming!"
Sun Lei's face lit up with joy. He knew Wu Ming was letting him pass, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to get through!
With a cupped-hand salute, Sun Lei immediately turned and rushed towards the distant team!
BOOM!!!
The thick wooden club and the giant hammer collided fiercely, emitting a deafening roar!
Lei Yuanyun gritted his teeth, gripping the hammer handle tightly, his eyes fixed menacingly on the little giant before him!
"Truly a monster..."
Lei Yuanyun gritted out, word by word.
This ogre's strength and endurance were truly terrifying!
Despite a full-power, continuous assault from him, he still couldn't suppress this behemoth!
'I have to attack its head. Otherwise, with that tough, thick hide, my attacks will be significantly offset!'
Lei Yuanyun thought to himself, momentarily losing focus!
He suddenly felt the power in his hands lighten. Snapping back to reality, he saw the ogre raising its club again!
"Damn!"
Lei Yuanyun's expression changed. He pushed off with his right foot, rapidly retreating!
ROAR!!!
The ogre let out a roar, its club smashing down madly towards Lei Yuanyun!
CRASH—!
Lei Yuanyun retreated explosively, the club smashing down where he had just been standing!
The immense force erupted like a bomb, instantly blasting a deep pit in the spot where he had been standing!
"Damn it...!"
Lei Yuanyun cursed, not daring to delay, and swung his great hammer again!
BANG!
Lei Yuanyun struck the ogre's club-wielding arm again, attempting to make it drop its weapon!
However, the weapon seemed stuck to the ogre's hand, refusing to let go no matter what!
Watching the ogre fly back again, Lei Yuanyun couldn't help but grit his teeth and curse:
"Fuck, are this bastard's hands made of iron?! If I wasn't using a hammer instead of a sword, I'd chop your hand off!"
The armor-piercing capability that blunt weapons excelled at seemed somewhat inadequate against the ogre's tough, thick body.
The physical resilience that was honed to the bone completely absorbed the force of the blunt attacks!
In such a situation, sharp weapons would have been more effective!
It was a shame Lei Yuanyun wasn't skilled in swordsmanship. While the ogre was getting back up, he glanced at Li Mengzhang and Wang Xin, who were also fighting the ogre.
He found that Li Mengzhang and Wang Xin's situations were not optimistic either!
CLANG!!!
Li Mengzhang's longsword blocked the ogre's downward club strike. He strained, tilting his blade to guide the club to the ground!
BOOM—!
The club hit the ground, kicking up dust. Li Mengzhang seized the opportunity to retreat, getting out of the ogre's attack range.
He looked at his cracked hand, his two hands trembling uncontrollably, his face pale!
Snap snap snap...
Several more bottles of poison were thrown onto the ogre by Wang Xin, once again pinning the two ogres in place!
Meanwhile, Wang Xin briefly revealed herself, kneeling on the ground, exhausted!
Although she wasn't injured, her breathing was chaotic, and her face was even paler!
Wang Xin looked at Li Mengzhang and said:
"This is my last poison. I'm out!"
"This can't go on... We need to think of another way!"
Li Mengzhang said with a serious expression, quickly scanning the battlefield!
In the distance, Yun Yu was directing her team to stall the injured ogre!
Due to the lack of powerful offensive means, they were only able to delay it.
Lei Yuanyun's situation didn't seem like it would be resolved anytime soon either!
"What other way? Even if we keep stalling, we'll run out of energy first."
Wang Xin rolled her eyes at Li Mengzhang and said weakly.
Li Mengzhang fell silent. If he couldn't even win with the most effortless tactic, then what other options did he have?
ROAR—!!
Just as Li Mengzhang was quickly thinking of a solution, a huge roar suddenly caught his attention!
'The direction of this sound... is it the one that was delayed?!'
Li Mengzhang realized what was happening and immediately looked into the distance!
