Silence beca the the of the battlefield.
This situation typically occurred at a specific mont just before a major battle, when both sides were building montum and waiting for the decisive mont.
However, this kind of silence, which appeared after half a day of fighting, was too unusual and eerie.
The attackers, now only about two hundred people, were sowhat dazed. They didn't understand why a victory that should have been a crushing one from any perspective had suddenly turned into this situation. They didn't understand why they were on the verge of failure.
"Not defeated yet!"
These words were spoken almost simultaneously in several places.
On many light screens across the seven Survivor Fortresses, races whose clansn had participated in this attack all made such a judgnt.
Yes, previously there were 1,300 or 1,400 people, now reduced to less than 200. It seed like they should be defeated, but in fact, even with only this many warriors left, they still held an absolute nurical advantage against the defenders.
Those who said this also included so attackers on the scene. They did not deny that they had been terrified by Ye Zhongming's skills just now. But now the skills had ended, and the things that made them afraid no longer existed, so why couldn't they continue attacking?
The state of the opposite side was clearly very bad.
Indeed, after the previous slaughter, the situation seed to clear up, as if the defenders were on the verge of victory. But in fact, White Robe and the others were now all injured, including Yisewei from the Sheke Star. After all, in that situation just now, no one cared whether they would offend a major clan; survival was the top priority.
Amid the chaos, the Novices on the defensive side, except for He, had all fallen. Those not dead were severely wounded and unable to move.
Taking advantage of the chaos, the center of the array was breached twice. The Silk Sea Light Array had been completely destroyed, and those light threads that could buff the defenders had already disappeared.
Among the mature warriors who could still stand, two had also lost their combat ability. They were He's clansn. They were too focused, or rather, too eager to ensure the safety of their own people, and were assaulted up close. Even though they imdiately activated water chains and launched holy symbol attacks, they still couldn't turn the danger into safety.
That is to say, on the defenders' side, only White Robe, Yisewei, and the other two from the Sheke Star, Jie Su and his two clansn, plus He's remaining clansman could still fight.
As for He and Ye Zhongming, everyone saw their condition; they were definitely unable to fight anymore.
Two hundred against eight; no matter how you looked at it, they couldn't lose.
The Talos Red Dwarves truly lived up to being the race with the best equipnt. Even when facing Ye Zhongming's terrifying attack, they all managed to survive. Only one had a leg broken by the impact and was sent to the back by his companion using that ferocious war chariot.
The other two looked at Ye Zhongming with red eyes.
The Talos Red Dwarves were different from the Su Clan. The Su Clan had a detestable 'literary and artistic' aura about them. The Su Clan's defensive arrays would only use so of their clan's junk for other races, first checking if relations were good, then looking at the price.
But they were not like that. They only looked at the price. Except for so of the clan's highest technological works and unique creations, nothing was unsellable, as long as the buyer had money.
One focused on personal relationships, while the other was only concerned with money—almost completely opposite practices made their relationship with each other less harmonious.
Otherwise, back then, the Talos Red Dwarves would have joined the Su Clan faction like other races that didn't want to get involved in the disputes of the Ten Thousand Races of the universe.
Now, seeing the Su Clan helping their clan's 'traitor', they decided to kill Jie Su first, then kill Ye Zhongming.
The leader of the Talos Red Dwarves had an impatient temperant. He hated Ye Zhongming too much. Seeing Ye Zhongming's current weak state, he roared and charged forward, also restarting the battle.
At the sa ti, the prompt that there were only thirty minutes left until the end of the Novice battlefield also sounded, telling those present that whether they won or lost, they only had half an hour.
This leader charged over and reached in front of Ye Zhongming.
For a mont, he felt strange. Why didn't White Robe and the others stop him?
But the temptation of being able to kill Ye Zhongming imdiately made him forget this matter, because he knew his companions would guard his back.
But he suddenly saw that the Novice number one, who should have been listless on the ground, suddenly stood up and swung his weapon at him.
A mimicry war device? Sothing we phased out long ago!
The Talos Red Dwarves warrior smiled disdainfully in his heart, simply not thinking this thing could have any effect on him.
He wanted to raise his own weapon, to let this pauper from a small place witness the technological power of the Talos Red Dwarves!
But he was puzzled. Why couldn't he lift his arm? And his body wouldn't move?
He suddenly looked down, horrified to see a giant hand composed of soil below, wrapping his lower body and arms within it.
However, his body was sowhat short, making the giant hand appear petite.
This... He suddenly looked at Ye Zhongming. He recognized what this was.
But he didn't see Ye Zhongming's face; what he saw was the cold gleam on the mimicry war device.
He very much wanted to shout "No!" like thousands of people before death, but the weapon, without any defensive interference, stabbed directly into his mouth, pierced through his head, and hit the helt.
It had to be said, the Talos Red Dwarves' equipnt was indeed good. Even such a fierce strike from Ye Zhongming did not pierce through his helt.
Killing a powerful Talos Red Dwarf with one move made many people behind pause. There was no other way; there had been too many surprises in this battle. Now, no one could guarantee what else might happen.
However, the death of one mature warrior could not stop the others from attacking. Even at this mont, more warriors and Novices had already appeared around the small hill. They had been observing the battle from the dense forest, and now, they felt there was an opportunity to reap rewards.
Further away, even more people were rushing over. Perhaps their target had been here all along, or perhaps they ca after seeing the anomalous phenona of Ye Zhongming's abilities. In any case, although over a thousand people had died on the small hill before, it could be predicted that soon, even more people might gather here.
In their eyes, there were now two extrely tempting prizes, tempting enough almost to lose reason.
One was Jie Su.
He was the one who set up the Silk Sea Light Array. The points from those killed by the array naturally counted towards him. His and his clansn's total score was already ranked first!
The other, naturally, was Ye Zhongming. He was originally the Novice number one, and the Star-Eye Clan was previously the total score first. Now that he had killed so many people, although surpassed by Jie Su and the Su Clan, he was still ranked second, with a frighteningly high score.
Whether it was Jie Su or Ye Zhongming, killing just one of them would imdiately propel oneself and one's race to the top two positions!
The temptation was truly too great!
