Chapter 587 Settling The Score Soon

Lin Shu looked at Zhao Yan on the fortress walls and asked him what he meant by “settling the score.”

Zhao Yan stood up and dusted off the dirt on his knees.

“Settle a score? How can he do that? I’ll just apologize to him again. He’s a captain in name only, and he’s still a student. What can he do to me?”

Lin Shu heaved a sigh of relief. “I almost forgot that he’s representing the upper house coming to the ancient ruins. He’s just a student; what right does he have to punish us?”

“Let them work hard to deal with the beasts. This crisis will be solved as long as they can survive.”

Zhao Yan pulled the bench that Lu Yu and the others had sat on to the edge of the fortress walls and sat down on it.

Lin Shu also walked over and sat beside him.

The two looked down at the fighting in the stronghold and smiled.

“Although many were sacrificed, at least we managed to hold up against this crisis. When we return, we can claim credit for this.”

Lin Shu quickly leaned against Zhao Yan. “Don’t forget about me…”

“Don’t worry. As long as you stay by my side obediently, I will not forget you.”

Zhao Yan wrapped his arms around Lin Shu’s shoulders as he spoke.

…

Below, Lu Yu and the rest rushed into the frontlines and joined the battle.

At that moment, the ferocious beasts had almost invaded half the stronghold. Many soldiers were ready to fight in the small remaining area to stop the beasts from advancing.

After Lu Yu landed, a few ferocious beasts immediately rushed over.

The one leading the charge was a wild boar the size of an off-road vehicle. It bared its terrifying fangs and tried to chomp down on Lu Yu.

Boom!

At this moment, intense pressure emerged from Lu Yu’s body, and the figure of a Holy Dragon loomed behind him.

The giant wild boar hurriedly stopped in its tracks the next moment. After looking at Lu Yu with a frightened look, it quickly turned around and fled.

With Lu Yu at the center, a strong pressure enveloped the surroundings, causing most of the ferocious beasts to flee.

Although Lu Yu’s Dragon Might was powerful, it wasn’t very useful to completely immobilize these ferocious beasts. They could still turn around and attack others.

Lu Yu looked at Xu Yuan and the others and said, “Join the battle and end it as quickly as possible!”

Xu Yuan quickly asked, “Lu Yu, could you still use your Dragon Fist? If you can, one punch would probably be enough to clear the field, right?”

Lu Yu shook his head slightly. “I can’t use it now, but I will be able to after this battle.”

“If that’s the case, we’ll have to fight a bitter battle.”

Han Xuefei and the others nodded. “It’s fine. Let’s have a good fight, and it’ll be considered our cultivation for the day.”

“Those two bastards are still sitting on the fortress walls and enjoying the scenery. When the battle is over, I will definitely not spare them!” Yun Zirou clenched her fists and declared viciously.

Su Qing pulled her arm and said, “Hurry up and help the soldiers; they can’t hold on much longer.”

On the frontlines, the soldiers could not stop the advance of the giant ferocious beasts any longer and could only slow down their pace.

Many people died under the feet of the giant elephants and were trampled into meat pies.

Some were even captured by those giant eagles and eaten on the spot.

The battle had already entered its climax. If the soldiers retreated further, they would be forced to the bottom of the fortress walls. It would be like catching a turtle in a jar at that time, and it would be difficult to escape even if the soldiers wanted to!

“Alright, let’s go!”

Xu Yuan dashed forward, joining the soldiers in stopping the beast tide’s advance.

Han Xuefei, Su Qing, Wang Meng, and Yun Zirou quickly followed.

They threw themselves into the battle and began fighting the beast horde.

At that moment, Lu Yu was standing in the middle of the confrontation between the two sides.

He could fully grasp the situation of the battle. The soldiers were fully armed, with the vanguard in the front and the mages and archers at the back. They were fighting the enemy in the most commonly used formation.

However, this formation wasn’t ideal. The single-horned rhinoceros and the giant elephants led the way, trampling ahead as if no one was there. The beasts advanced forward and only slowed down when attacked, but these attacks weren’t doing anything other than tickling them.

Judging from the current situation, it was almost impossible for the soldiers in the stronghold to win, let alone hold on for another half an hour.

However, the situation improved after Han Xuefei and the others joined the battle.

Against the beast tide, Han Xuefei’s telekinesis wasn’t too effective.

However, her ice elemental skills were still useful. As soon as she entered the battle, she released hundreds of sharp icicles that poured down like hail.

Seeing such a powerful elementalist skill, the surrounding soldiers got excited.

“These icicles are so strong!”

“I… I thought we were done for, she… Is she our savior?”

“That’s great! With such a strong elementalist joining us, we’ll definitely win!”

“Let’s turn the situation around. Otherwise, we’ll really have no hope!”

“These people seem to have just arrived here. They’re from the upper house and here to help us!”

The soldiers shouted excitedly, one after another. Everyone looked up at Han Xuefei, who was floating in the air. She only waved her staff once, and hundreds and thousands of icicles fell like a storm.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

The icicles fell and pierced the elephants.

...

However, even though the icicles looked sharp, they quickly broke and shattered when they tried stabbing into the thick and solid backs of the elephants.

The other icicles fell and easily pierced through some of the smaller beasts, while they could only cause some damage to the medium-sized beasts, such as the single-horned rhinoceros.

The thick icicles fell, causing shattered ice to pile up on the ground. The surrounding temperature was rapidly dropping.

Looking at the situation in front of her, Han Xuefei also began to focus and prepare for her next attack.

The armor of these enormous beasts was very strong and hard to break. Therefore, when she condensed her icicles once more, she had to reduce the number and increase the strength.

She placed both her hands on her staff, and the staff glowed with a light blue light.

Then, a sharp spike slowly emerged from the light.

She created more rigid, sharper ice spikes to break through the enemy’s defense.

Xu Yuan and the others were no exception to Han Xuefei’s efforts to combat the enemies. They rushed to the front line and fought with the beasts.

At that moment, Lu Yu’s body flickered as he charged toward the herd of beasts.

The next moment, Lu Yu’s hands turned into his Undead Dragon Claws.

...

Lu Yu had few AoE skills. The Explosive Dragon Claw’s Flaming Claw was one of them, and his Thunder Dragon Claw was another, but their effects weren’t stellar here.

To deal with these enemies with high defense, Lu Yu needed his Undead Fire, which could directly attack the soul. If the Undead Fire burned enough of them, Lu Yu would be able to finish off these beats as quickly as possible.
