Western Mountains, Purple Fern Rampart.

Under the ancient rock city wall, weird creatures Impact guarded the defense line. The defenders on the city wall drew their bows and arrows and fired continuously. From time to time, soldiers wearing City Alliance "burqa armor" came forward with shields to surround and kill the monsters that climbed up the city wall.

"Hold on, the Alliance's rescue will be here soon!" A captain wearing a pot helmet shouted loudly to encourage the fighting team members. At this moment, torches and braziers were lit, and many Orc warriors in the city were also organized to fill the vacancies in the battle line.

Although various cities and tribes in the mountains have been attacked by monsters, the situation in the Purple Fern Barrier is the most serious, because there happen to be four erosion points not far from the city. The appearance of such a dense and numerous monsters immediately exceeded the solution limit of the local guards.

On the high tower above the city wall, several Mages stood. They summoned powerful lightning, which struck down from the sky and fell into the herd of Magic Creatures. The blazing electric light exploded, and the shattered electric current turned many Magic Creatures into charcoal on the spot, and many of them were also physically paralyzed.

"The situation is not good." A third-level Mage looked sadly at the endless Magic Creature below. Even though they killed hundreds of them in one go, they are still coming up like a tide.

"It can only be said that we are quite unlucky." His teammates were also helpless. He cast large-scale spells one after another, and this time he was a little exhausted. He needed to take a breath and take a rest.

"The Alliance has asked us to prepare a month in advance, but there are still some shortcomings."

"It may be that the World of Shadows in the western region has never been cleaned up, which is why so many Magic Creature have accumulated. Other large forces will send personnel to the territory of World of Shadows, on the one hand, to solve hidden dangers, and on the other hand, to obtain resources."

"The western region has never had a unified large-scale force, and naturally no one has ever done this. Most of those Orc are ignorant. It is still too difficult for them to master the means of World of Shadows and Surface Continent time travel."

"This time, in order to develop World of Shadows in the western region, the Alliance held a ceremony with World of Shadows from the surface at the same time to establish Beacon that can be teleported."

"Although the teleportation Beacon has been established, the time and space fluctuations and reflection power caused during the period will also cause erosion to explode in a short period of time."

"In order to cope with the erosion outbreak, the Alliance has also mobilized many elites from various Academy, and they will also assist us in the battle this time."

"Hold on for a while longer. The signal for help has been sent out, and support will arrive soon." The companions encouraged, and several Mage finished their rest and jointly cast spells again.

A huge dark red fireball gradually took shape over the city. It was only ten meters in diameter at first, then expanded little by little, and finally reached a diameter of nearly a hundred meters.

The huge fireball scorched the ground and caused the withered grass to emit green smoke. Not only did many Magic Creature fear, but even the soldiers and warriors on the city wall felt unbearably hot and their armor was hot.

The brilliant fireball illuminated the surroundings of Purple Fern Rampart as if it were daytime. If viewed from a high altitude, the place looked like a dam surrounded by dense black spots. The city wall separated the dense black spots outside, while keeping the buildings and people inside clean and tidy.

Although their hair and armor were unbearably hot, under the huge fireball, the soldiers' morale was high and their vision was excellent. They had a clear vision at night as clear as during the day.

Afterwards, the crossbow arrows were accurately shot, nailing the Magic Creature approaching from below, and some of the First Order second-level Magic Creature with Aspect Power were targeted and solved by the elite guards.

The battle continued, and they once again fought off these Magic Creature Impacts. Just when the soldiers on the city wall felt exhausted, the huge fireball hanging high exploded, and many flames fell like meteor showers, hitting the wilderness outside the city, burning all the Magic Creatures. There were dazzling firelights everywhere, and the Magic Creatures under the city wall immediately became sparse.

At this point, Mage on the city wall arrow tower breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's safe now."

Unfortunately, things never went smoothly. When several Mages were preparing to take a break and regain their strength, a strange and colorful black panther rushed out of the darkness of the wilderness.

It has a strong body, and the crossbow arrows aimed at it on the city wall are easily dodged by it, and then it jumps onto the city wall and continues running upwards at a 90° angle as if walking on the ground.

"Stop it!" shouted the guard captain.

But this beautiful black panther easily dodged the attack, and occasionally disappeared and reappeared in another place, leaving the guards at a loss as to how to respond.

[Star Shadow Leopard](Level 3·Alien Star)

The special cheetah adapted to the Distortion environment can use the power of Alien Star to briefly shuttle through space and gain extremely strong maneuverability."

The cheetah quickly passed through the defense line built by Purple Fern Rampart in a flashing way. It ignored the Orc and the human soldiers guarding the front, and rushed into the wall behind where Archer was standing. It quickly passed by. Wherever its sharp claws swept over, the crossbowmen fell in pieces.

The "alien" power spilled out from its claws caused the bodies of ordinary people who approached to twist and turn blue. Even if it did not attack intentionally, just the crushing of its own phase level caused incurable injuries to a large number of ordinary people.

After roughly finishing these Archer, it no longer took any souvenirs, but turned its attention to the interior of the city. Because of the fighting, many residents did not sleep and rest. There were also many people on the street carrying supplies needed to defend the city and assisting in the treatment of the wounded.

After briefly thinking about the decision, it no longer paid attention to Transcendent chasing after it on the city wall, and instead pounced into the defenseless crowd. A large number of civilians fled in panic during its attack.

"Get out of the way!"

The roar resounded in the chaotic streets, and then a fully armored Knight quickly crossed the crowd and rushed towards the three-meter-tall cheetah.

"I am Land-Guarding Knight, Practitioner of Order here, and I swear to expel the people Twilight!"

He held up the Broad-bladed Cross Sword held in both hands, and holy light bloomed from the blade. Then the blade was reversed and inserted into the floor tiles under his feet. Then a white ripple spread to the entire city. The City Alliance" badge on his armor shone brightly at the moment. Wherever the ripples went, the badges and coats of arms of each City Alliance" soldier also responded.

As if an invisible light curtain enveloped the entire city, the cheetah, which had previously been able to attack and move unscrupulously with its ability to travel through space, found that the space was suddenly unable to break open at this moment, and its elusive movement ability was blocked. Before it could escape from this area, the Knight charged forward and approached.

With an excited expression under his mask, he swung the sword in a round motion and hit the cheetah with an unavoidable slash, killing it.

The immediate crisis was finally lifted. The soldiers on the city wall and Mage on the tower breathed a sigh of relief. However, a large number of Magic Creature appeared outside the wall again.

The battle is far from over.
