The valley located in the wilderness had now become the focus of the entire region.
In particular, someone had dug up a stone tablet in the wild that recorded information about the assessment light beam.
It was clearly recorded that there was only one S-level light beam in each area during the first assessment.
In other words, only one of the eight hundred lords in each district could get the opportunity to directly improve the level of their territory.
This immediately made the lords of the entire region excited.
Many lords who wanted to watch the excitement and fish in troubled waters gathered their troops and rushed to the valley.
Upon seeing this, those who stayed behind on the alliance side immediately formed another coalition army for fear of any accident.
Even Boris, who had relocated his entire territory, saw the information on the public channel at this time.
Knowing everything, he immediately changed direction and rushed toward the coordinates of the valley.
"Hahaha, God help me."
"In Toji Hisami’s critical moment, I’ll fight to save his life. He will never treat me badly in the future."
The coordinates of the valley were less than a hundred kilometers away from him, so there was still time if he could speed up.
After thinking about it, Boris divided the team into two parts.
He actually abandoned the Lord’s Hall and led a hundred elite people to rush to the valley.
At this time in the valley, General Stone Tablet was showing off his power.
Just when the alliance was about to rush in front of him, the ground suddenly shook and powerful shock waves spread out.
This range attack directly caused the soldiers on the alliance side to fall into stagnation.
Then General Stone Tablet summoned new stone tablets and gargoyles again, surrounding the alliance side.
More than an hour had passed since the fight started.
The number of gargoyles had increased from one thousand to more than two thousand now.
Even on the alliance side, the number of enemies they faced at this time was very significant, and there was nothing easy about it.
"As expected of the guardian beast of the S-class light beam, it is really difficult to deal with!"
"Everyone, please work harder and unleash your talents!" someone shouted.
Some lord talents needed to be activated to take effect, and this was basically the case for the alliance lords present.
This was also a characteristic of combat talents.
After everyone heard this, they immediately gritted their teeth and activated their talents again.
The army that had been in a stalemate once again received powerful support and continued to attack General Stone Tablet.
Someone else directly threw an alchemy bomb, exploding sparks in the valley.
The civilian lords who were hiding in the mountains watching the battle in the distance were also amazed when they saw this scene.
Lords from big families had different starting points and reserves from them.
After fighting until now, there was still room for talent to be stimulated.
It was conceivable that they must have brought a lot of recovery potions, which were not easy to obtain in the early stages.
They were usually purchased.
As for the alchemy bombs, each household had different recipes for making them.
Just looking at the effect shown here, it could be seen that the rating of these alchemy bombs was at least B level.
The blast shattered dozens of gargoyles, creating a passage easily.
The situation created by General Stone Tablet’s previous consecutive skills was once again ruined.
"Is it really impossible for civilians to rise up?" a commoner lord whispered.
The companion next to him had a depressed face when he heard this and didn’t know how to respond.
He simply opened the public channel to see what new discoveries he could make.
As a result, the first thing he saw was the latest sentence posted on the public channel:
[Be careful! Orcs appear in the valley!]
[The second-level leader Mihe died, the number of remaining lords is 789/800]
"What!!!"
The lord jumped up and looked behind him immediately.
Suddenly, he discovered that the valley had been filled with a large amount of smoke and flames unconsciously.
This was made by someone deliberately burning leaves and vines. Not only did it obscure the view, it was also very irritating.
Just now, they were completely distracted by the battle in the center of the valley, and were completely unaware of what was going on outside.
At this time, other lords also discovered the latest news, and they all became alert.
But deaths were still being reported on the public channel!
[The second level leader Wei Shu died, the number of remaining lords is 788/800]
[The third-level leader Pan Jiang died, the number of remaining lords is 787/800]
[Second-level leader Liu An died, the remaining leaders are 783/800]
In a short period of time, seven low-level lords died, causing everyone paying attention to the public channel to feel numb.
Someone from the alliance side had been calling those involved in the battle on the public channel.
But at this time, the battle situation had reached its most intense stage, and no one in the valley paid attention to the public channel.
Only Toji Hisami, who was always on alert, saw everything clearly.
After the first death occurred, Toji Hisami knew that danger was coming.
After the shield guards formed a formation, their powerful defense prevented the gargoyles’ attacks from breaking through.
So he seemed to be surrounded by gargoyles, but in fact nothing had happened to them.
As for the shield guards, thanks to their armor and shields, their health bars and stamina consumption were also very light.
When Toji Hisami chose to train the first batch of elites into shield guards, he had taken the current situation into consideration.
Before having an absolutely powerful offensive unit, the most important thing was to ensure defense capabilities.
After all, he possessed Lyra, and the output of an S-class heroic soul was simply invincible.
"Move to the left two hundred meters away. There is a hillside extending out there that can be used to block attacks," Toji Hisami gave orders to Lyra.
The iceberg beauty immediately waved her spear and led the shield guards to slowly but firmly move toward the destination.
The entire process did not alert any enemies, including General Stone Tablet and the alliance.
Just after Toji Hisami and the others arrived at their position, the shield guards changed their formation and swapped out some people to rest.
Within five minutes, roars suddenly came from all around the valley.
"WAAAAAGAAAAAA!"
Green-skinned orcs rushed out one after another brandishing weapons, attacking everyone they saw.
In front of them were the lords who tried to leave the valley, but were cut off by the orcs and had to return.
Their armies suffered heavy losses. They were low-level lords, and their largest number was only fifty people.
At this time, one by one, with only a dozen people left to protect them, they ran toward the valley desperately.
The alliance side was also alarmed by the sight of the orcs.
Seeing those civilian lords trying to escape to join them, the expressions on their faces suddenly darkened.
They looked down on these civilian lords completely, viewing the power they brought as garbage.
Many of them were even in first-level professions, with none who could transfer to second-level professions.
Such a team joining them would have little effect, but would attract the attention of the orcs.
"Stop them!"
"Get out of here! This road is blocked! Don’t blame us for killing people if you come any closer!"
A group of heavy infantrymen wearing thick armor and holding large axes came out and stopped the intruders.
After hearing this, the civilian lords showed expressions of despair on their faces.
Behind them were the orcs in hot pursuit, while the front was also a battlefield.
However, the coalition forces on the human side were suppressing the gargoyles, so there was no danger for the time being.
As a result, their own people wouldn’t let them get close!
It was impossible to take a detour at this time!
Several civilian lords who refused to believe their luck kept their heads down and continued to move forward, but saw the lords from the alliance sneer.
An archer bent his bow and set an arrow, and the arrow shot out like a meteor!
It hit a civilian lord right in the head!
[The third-level leader Bard died, the number of remaining lords is 781/800]
This arrow intimidated everyone, but with just such a moment of hesitation, the orcs from behind had already arrived.
The orcs didn’t talk nonsense; they slashed with weapons, causing blood to splash everywhere.
In the public channel, the death notices that had subsided for a while surged again.
