"Please wait patiently, everyone!"
Milair's confident tone rekindled the light in the eyes of the nobles.
What they didn't know was that Milair had actually wanted to use the sharp blade in his hand to slit the neck of the rude baron.
The displeasure she had accumulated in her heart today was already higher than the sky.
Moreover, Luo Xiu said that not many of the nobles should be able to return this time.
But she finally endured it.
Although not many can return, there's always a chance that a few might be able to.
She didn't want to leave any room for gossip; she had always been the kind of person who could endure anything for the sake of her career.
Chapter 63 The Situation Turns Around!!! (Please continue reading)
Upon hearing Milair's words, hope shone again in the eyes of the nobles.
A barrage of praise was hurled at Milair.
Milair nodded:
“You stay here for now. If Vulture still has people lurking in the shadows and they find out I released you and then attack you, I won’t have the energy to deal with you.”
The nobles nodded obediently.
Just as Miler turned to join the battle, a voice called out to her:
"Your Excellency Milair."
Milair turned her head to look at Lis, who had spoken:
"Anything else?"
Liz hesitated several times before finally speaking:
"It's like this, I think two fourth-tier combatants have appeared among the Vultures, so I'm worried that if the Familiar wins this time, they'll target Lord Milair..."
"I have a solution."
Milair spoke with absolute certainty, her words brimming with confidence.
It was as if she had made meticulous plans and preparations.
In truth, she had no other choice. She hadn't prepared for Liz's question either, but given the current situation, since she had said it, those present had no choice but to believe her.
She often uses words to fool her subordinates and is quite adept at it.
After speaking, she no longer looked at Liss, leaving the nobles with only a hopeful and radiant silhouette.
"Go, Lord Milair!!!"
"Lord Milair, we're counting on you!! Please, please win this war!!"
The cheers of the nobles reached Milair's ears, and her displeasure finally eased somewhat.
With a light touch of her feet, she moved like a shadow darting through the wind, rushing towards the battlefield at an almost terrifying speed.
On the battlefield, the situation can change in an instant.
Luo Xiu's arrival immediately attracted the attention of the two fourth-tier slimes.
The slime that had fought against Luo Xiu was currently entangled with a pair of eyes summoned by Old White.
Originally confident of victory, it saw Luo Xiu's return and its triangular eyes darkened, making rapid "boo boo!!" sounds.
It had fought against Luo Xiu before. Although it could crush this human, it knew that this human could easily kill its third-tier kin.
Therefore, it sent a message to the fourth-tier slime that was casting [Family Territory] above the third-tier slime's head, wanting to ask the fourth-tier slime's opinion.
Should we abandon our territories now and switch to attacking cities to avoid further losses to our third-tier clan?
The fourth-tier slime that was releasing [Fellowship Territory] hesitated upon hearing its companion's voice.
This time the losses were already heavy. If it had been a siege rather than a siege of territory, the gains would have been even smaller, making it impossible to make up for the losses.
It looked at Sorenson, whose body was becoming increasingly transparent and who probably wouldn't last much longer.
I have a decision in my mind.
He roared:
"Kiss!!!"
It wanted to gamble a little longer, using a few third-tier members of its kind as a price. If the summoned spirit form didn't dissipate after the human killed a few third-tier members, it would join the battle.
In the short time it took them to talk, Luo Xiu had already arrived at the center of the battlefield.
Boom boom boom! ! !
Slime projectiles from the third-tier slime sprayed at him from all directions, almost blotting out the sky.
However, the shells struck the spot where Luo Xiu was, stirring up dust that flew everywhere and thick smoke that rose from the ground. Luo Xiu's figure disappeared into the smoke and dust.
The third-tier slimes realized that the smoke didn't seem to be caused by the cannonballs, and they all became alert.
They huddled together, their massive bodies awkwardly surveying their surroundings.
But they found no trace of Luo Xiu.
Instead, an angry roar came from afar:
"Kiss kisses!!!"
The fourth-tier slime that had gained the upper hand in its battle with Sorenson looked angrily behind it, where Luo Xiu's muscular figure appeared and swung a heavy punch at it!
At the same time, a gray magic circle covered the back of Sorenson's bony claws, which swung towards it at an extremely fast speed!
"Boo!!"
Seeing that its companion was about to be surrounded, the fourth-tier slime that was fighting Old White immediately roared.
It was reminding its companions to choose between attacking Luo Xiu. It had already witnessed Luo Xiu's strength and found it to be no match for them; they could easily knock him away.
Excitement gleamed in its scarlet eyes.
This foolish human actually tried to use this two-pronged attack tactic, not realizing that this tactic is only suitable for opponents of equal strength.
Go! Go smash this human to pieces!!!
It didn't even bother with the pair of eyes that Old White was summoning, and looked directly at its companion.
The fourth-tier slime that was surrounded received the notification and immediately stopped hesitating. Its black body transformed into a swift shadow and charged fiercely towards Luo Xiu.
boom! ! !
Luo Xiu's fist collided with the black slime.
But the scenario that Old White had envisioned when he fought the fourth-tier slime never happened.
Luo Xiu was not directly overwhelmed by its companion, but rather appeared to be evenly matched, and even slightly stronger, because this fourth-order slime did not use its source power.
The fourth-tier slime that collided with Luo Xiu's fist felt a tremendous force strike its body, followed by pain.
It's not over yet.
As it froze, Sorenson's massive claws, accompanied by the howling of a gale, slammed heavily against its body from behind.
"Roar!!!"
Caught completely off guard, several deep claw marks appeared on the slime's black body, and foul-smelling fluid flowed from the wounds.
It howled in pain, trying to create distance immediately, and turned to run to the right.
It knows that speed is its advantage, and the humans in front of it cannot catch up with it.
But as it ran to the side, it saw a human woman seemingly emerge from the shadows, appearing before it at a speed comparable to its own.
"Ho ho ho!!!"
The injured fourth-tier slime was enraged.
How can anyone stand in my way?!
It charged straight at it!
The next second, it saw the female human's feet covered by shadows, and then its speed suddenly became extremely fast!
This increase in speed lasted only for a brief moment, but it was enough to cause its impact to miss.
Then, a purple dagger slashed down fiercely!
Swish! ! !
The foul-smelling black slime splattered in the air, and the fourth-tier slime suffered another wound.
Just as it was in pain, Luo Xiu and Sorenson arrived.
As it watched Luo Xiu's fist and Sorenson's bone claws charge towards it, a terrified, almost human-like expression appeared on its face, and its normally angular mouth opened and closed wildly.
"Mwah! Mwah! Mwah!!!"
The moment its sound faded,
Everyone on the battlefield felt a change in their vision, as if something that had always been in their sight had disappeared.
Soon, everyone realized what was happening.
It's red light!
It's the red light emanating from the [family territory]!
The light that had once covered the entire town and turned the sky blood red has now vanished without a trace.
This means that, from the perspective of the vassal states, the war has already been declared a failure!
A cheer erupted on the battlefield!
From the knights to the vultures to the bound nobles, everyone was cheering wildly and roaring excitedly.
But after a brief moment of elation, Ecklaus stopped the knights' celebration, his gaze turning grave as he looked toward the battlefield.
They knew that although the war had ended, it was not completely over.
The third phase, which did not materialize, will instead turn into a siege.
