Chapter 2451 Cleaning up
Hmm?
Seeing the game hint, Fang Heng was momentarily intrigued.
Quite a bargain?
Killing two monsters earned him twenty thousand experience points?
Recovering from his Death God state, Fang Heng checked the game hint again.
The current mission KPI required completing 200 soul bounties per month, with 50 of those being S-level or higher.
Normal Holy Realm knights did not meet the S-level standard.
It seemed that a Purifier of a higher tier than the Holy Realm knight would be needed to meet the requirements.
Pondering this, Fang Heng shifted his gaze from the Holy Realm knight's corpse, quickly reverted to his bat form, and sped toward the Frost Fortress.
...
Periphery of the Frost Fortress.
According to the plan devised by Fang Heng and City Lord Hornlow, Hornlow and his team had taken refuge in an underground secret fortress outside the Frost Fortress. They were waiting for Fang Heng's return to launch a counterattack and attempt to reclaim the Frost Fortress.
As Fang Heng had anticipated, the guardian team left in the fortress by the Holy Realm was not very numerous. Besides a large team of knights, only one Purifier was assisting them.
When Fang Heng returned and gathered his forces, City Lord Hornlow immediately ordered his subordinate team to counterattack the Frost Fortress.
"Let's go! Time to rack up the KPIs!"
Fang Heng called out to Li Shaoqiang and Tan Shuo, and the three of them transformed into their Death God forms, blending in with Hornlow's subordinate team to launch the counterattack on the Frost Fortress.
Hornlow's subordinates were elite soldiers, but even they faced some difficulty dealing with the Holy Realm knight squad.
No matter. The Lickers would lead the charge!
A large number of Lickers, hidden under thick snow, crawled out and began their assault on the fortress.
Walter, who had just finished clearing the Frost Fortress and was preparing to secure the Frost Hell, had just left the city when he spotted the Licker swarm emerging from the distant white snow.
What?!
Walter's face showed astonishment.
A swarm of Lickers?!
Was it Fang Heng?
He had already ventured deep into the Frost Hell, hadn't he? How could he appear here?
Had he escaped again?
Walter's face grew serious.
The Holy Realm knight squad left in the fortress numbered over three hundred.
Just a swarm of Lickers!
The Holy Realm knights could only unleash their full potential while charging on their divine warhorses, but the terrain within the fortress didn't allow for such charges.
Therefore, the best choice was to confront them outside the city!
"Brinda, you stay here. I'll take my men and deal with them!"
Walter nodded to a Holy Realm Purifier in his team and raised his knight commander's spear high.
"Charge!!"
Walter led the charge, and his subordinate knight legion plunged into the red tide of battle in an instant!
The frenzied warhorses trampled into the Licker swarm, carving a bloody path forward!
Blood splattered onto Walter's face, and his expression grew even more serious.
Before coming here, they had been informed that they might encounter a Licker swarm controlled by Fang Heng, and they had prepared thoroughly.
All the knight legion's rune-imbued long swords had sealing effects to counter the Lickers' regeneration abilities.
However, they found out during the battle that the strength of the Lickers was higher than what the intelligence had reported!
They were tougher to handle!
The Holy Court's latest data on Lickers was updated just over a month ago, but in such a short time, the Licker swarm had apparently grown stronger?
The knight squad's powerful charge allowed them to penetrate the Licker swarm for over two hundred meters, but they soon found themselves mired and surrounded by a vast number of Lickers.
This was bad!
Walter had expected to cut through the Licker swarm with his team, but he hadn't anticipated the sheer number of Lickers and their strength, which was not inferior to his knights.
The charge attack did not produce the anticipated results.
It was too late to escape now!
They could only endure!
Holy Realm knights were incredibly strong, even in mid-tier game worlds they could be considered BOSS-level entities, with each individual attack being highly potent.
But the effect was still limited!
The entire knight legion could only slowly wear down the Licker swarm.
But there were so many Lickers, endlessly pouring in. It was impossible to clear them all in the short term!
Meanwhile, the strength of the entire knight legion was continuously being depleted.
Nearby, City Lord Hornlow's eyes widened in astonishment as he observed the Holy Realm knights sinking into a quagmire.
In just under half a year, Fang Heng's power had already reached this level?!
"Fire arrows!"
"Yes!"
From the rear of the team, a dense barrage of bone spike arrows rained down on the battlefield.
The bone spike arrows, infused with special runes, could inflict additional damage to the Holy Realm knights' shields.
As for the Lickers...
If they were accidentally harmed, so be it.
Tan Shuo and Li Shaoqiang had joined the battle. They had both transformed into their Death God forms and were now roaming the edges of the battlefield, seeking out easy targets and attempting to harvest the nearly defeated Holy Realm knights.
The Death God form was incredibly effective for ambushes!
They could maintain a distance and use their death scythe skills to quickly strike and drain the Holy Realm knights' strength.
One strike and retreat, slashing once and then disappearing into the swarm of Lickers.
It was quite effortless.
Once the Holy Realm knights' strength was sufficiently depleted, they repeated the old tactic, using their death scythe skills to harvest.
"Hey! Over there!"
After more than ten minutes of attrition warfare, the Holy Realm team had lost a significant amount of mental strength. Some knights began to fall behind, resulting in casualties!
Death gaze!
In a world of black and white, the two immediately saw the souls of the Holy Realm knights drifting slowly into the divine light spots.
Li Shaoqiang quickly raised his head and used his skill on the soul bodies.
'Death realm reap'!
With the skill's effect applied, the holy power protection layer surrounding the Holy Realm knight's soul body shattered, and a small white light spot appeared at the center of the soul body, drawing the entire soul into it.
"Done!"
At this moment, Tan Shuo and Li Shaoqiang realized that no matter whether they had killed the Holy Realm knights or not, as long as they successfully used their skills to guide the souls into the death realm, they would gain experience points.
It was an excellent opportunity to rack up KPIs!
The two immediately started to harvest vigorously.
Meanwhile, Fang Heng had led a group of Lickers into the fortress and had locked onto the Holy Realm Purifier inside.
"Fang Heng!"
Seeing Fang Heng swaggering before him, the Holy Realm Purifier's eyes burned with wrath.
"Since you've come here, don't even think about leaving! You will be sealed in the Holy Realm forever!"
A dazzling holy light suddenly erupted from the Purifier.
Perfect! A one-on-one fight!
"Bang!"
Fang Heng showed no fear. The blood-red short blades behind him exploded instantly, forming a blood screen that blocked the holy light rays directed at him.
