In the forest, Earthshaker, Gronthar, and Drakthul, also at this critical mont, rode their Hyena Kings and all rushed back.
They knew very well that this invading army's greatest reliance was on the two necromancers.
Even if the three of them died, they couldn't let the two necromancers be sacrificed.
Otherwise, it was highly probable the entire army would be wiped out.
Precisely because Earthshaker, Gronthar, and Drakthul returned in ti and blocked the pouncing Blind Spiders, the summoning formation was successfully activated.
The battle was fierce. Many bloodline warriors didn't notice that the pools of blood at their feet were disappearing unknowingly.
Along with the corpses of their comrades, small scorpions, and Blind Spiders, they too vanished.
In their place, skeleton archers holding bows and carrying bone arrows on their backs staggered up from the bones and corpses.
Whoosh!
A bone arrow shot up into the sky, striking a Blind Spider that was leaping using spider silk. The Blind Spider's largest compound eye instantly shattered.
Imdiately after, an evil deathly aura drifted out from the compound eye, and the Blind Spider's body rapidly shriveled, falling to the ground like a pile of rotten flesh.
This bolt was like a signal.
Swish!
Swish! Swish!
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Initially, the bolts were sparse, like scattered stones.
Then, the bolts beca as dense as woven fabric, like a net cast out.
Later, the bolts fell like rain upon Shadowcrag Forest, upon all the Blind Spiders.
The first powerful assault from the Blind Spiders was forcefully slowed down amidst this rain of arrows.
"Spear throwers, form up!"
With the situation easing, Drakthul imdiately gathered the spear throwers of the giant armies, surrounding Selenis and the two necromancers in the center to protect them anew.
"Gronthar, an Alpha-level Blind Spider is gradually approaching our lines. Let's go kill it."
Earthshaker called out to Gronthar and, riding his hyena, once again rushed into the forest.
Gronthar, unwilling to be outdone, chose another direction and also entered the forest.
They weren't afraid of the Alpha-level Blind Spiders but feared that such powerful monsters would break through the outer periter of skeleton warriors and small scorpions.
If their battle lines were broken, the bloodline warriors of the three armies brought by Earthshaker, Gronthar, and Drakthul would suffer extrely heavy casualties.
"Hehehe... It seems we've been treated as weaklings, becoming the ones to be protected!"
"They're underestimating us. I propose we let them feel the power of the undead."
The two necromancers conversed in hoarse voices, attracting Selenis's attention.
Ah!
Ah!
That was a wail of agony!
A howl from the soul!
The next mont, all creatures in the nearby area possessing souls were impacted.
Earthshaker, Gronthar, and Drakthul fared better; they weren't deliberately targeted and only found the two howls very piercing.
As for those Blind Spiders, it was as if their brains had suffered a severe blow; all of them fell to the ground, letting out cries of pain.
So of the weaker Blind Spiders even exploded and died instantly.
This soul-howl lasted for more than a minute before stopping.
"Everyone, the dark creatures in the vicinity have been heavily injured by us."
"Why not take this opportunity to kill them and gather materials for the deadlands?"
A necromancer's hoarse and smug voice sounded. Selenis, who was closest, reacted imdiately, directing the small scorpions to crawl into the forest and harvest.
Deep within Shadowcrag Forest, an Alpha-level Blind Spider covered in dark green runes lay prostrate on a giant tree, gazing at the distant battlefield.
"Is this black magic?"
"No, such a dense deathly aura... it's undead magic."
"But what was that magic just now?"
"It was very powerful, capable of injuring the soul."
The Alpha-level Blind Spider muttered, speaking human words.
Evidently, residing within this Blind Spider was precisely a will projection of Lolth the Spider Queen.
Lolth was clever and also wise.
The Blind Spiders' first wave of attack just now had gained a significant advantage.
At that ti, if she had pressed forward with all her might, the outco on the battlefield would surely not have been like this.
As for who would have won or lost, it was hard to say.
"To think there are even two Alpha peak necromancers... this invasion lineup is truly formidable!"
To be honest, Lolth's will projection no longer dared to appear directly on the battlefield.
Because the soul attack unleashed by those two necromancers just now had reached a level capable of heavily damaging a will projection.
If the will projection forcibly appeared on the battlefield, it might be able to defeat the enemy, but this wisp of her will projection would also very likely be destroyed.
Losing a will projection would affect a Legendary powerhouse's own strength; for Lolth, it was a loss she couldn't afford.
Because she faced not only these invaders but also her neighbors around her territory who harbored malicious intent towards her.
"What should I do now?"
"Retreat, or continue the siege?"
"..."
The void passage. Lolth the Spider Queen remained silent, so Orion could only divert his attention to Browse for goods on the Survivor's Platform.
Of course, Orion also took the ti to share the relevant intelligence he had gathered with his allies in the Champions Alliance.
Hulk: "Bros, the deadlands conversion is complete; the graveyard conversion formation is currently being set up."
Hulk: "Also, two sets of positioning devices have been placed. Once this invasion ends, Arthas's subordinates can teleport over."
For this invasion, there were a total of five accompanying necromancers.
Two of them stayed in the hyena territory to set up formations, while two followed Earthshaker, Gronthar, and Drakthul on their sweeps, assisting the group.
The last one mysteriously disappeared right at the beginning.
Of the two sets of positioning devices carried by the invading armies, one was with that mysteriously vanished necromancer.
This was actually a precautionary asure, in case the invading armies were wiped out and lost the chance to teleport.
Of course, that mysteriously vanished necromancer also bore the important responsibility of map reconnaissance.
Leonidas: "Hulk, if we team up, it doesn't need to be so troubleso. My beast armies can directly descend into the area where your base is."
Hulk: "That's no problem, but we'll have to wait until the cross-realm invasion is over."
Leonidas was already impatient. According to the intelligence obtained so far, the Erald Dream Realm was a delicious big cake.
Although there was currently a demigod presence overseeing the Erald Dream Realm, and powerhouses at arch lord level or above couldn't easily set foot there...
However, when that evil being hiding behind the scenes began to close the net, let alone arch lords, even demigods could descend.
That would be the ti for them to truly show their prowess.
Edward: "That spider broodmother tested the contract scroll three tis. She wanted to use a broodmother larva, a will projection, and a seed to sign the contract with ; I rejected them all."
The Deputy Commander's statent made everyone fall silent for a short while.
Leonidas: "No way! Even so awakened survivors aren't as vigilant as this broodmother, are they?"
Alexander: "I suspect this spider broodmother is an awakened one!"
Kraken: "I agree too."
Hulk: "Is my luck really that good?"
Including Orion, they all felt that Lolth the Spider Queen might be a survivor.
