Backstabbing Blow (2)

Queto took a look at the cramped tunnel entrance, which was less than fifty meters wide and easily defensible. Although it had confined them, it also made launching an attack much more challenging.

“I don’t want to waste our warriors’ lives in this meaningless battle.”

The silver-masked deceiver heard the underlying message and chuckled hoarsely. “As long as you continue to put in effort, I promise to provide you with a batch of high-quality weapons. I believe your warriors could use an upgrade.”

Upon hearing this, Queto’s eyes lit up. “I hope you’ll fulfill this promise.”

“Of course, we are allies. We would never deceive you.”

“You only need to provide the resources; leave the rest to us,”

The silver-masked deceiver performed an elegant bow, gesturing an invitation.

Queto nodded slightly.

Raising the mottled battle axe in his hand, he shouted angrily, “Everyone, attack!”

“Roa!!!!!!!”

Hundreds of mountain trolls charged forward, their eyes bloodshot, and their lust for blood rising.

It seemed they had reached some kind of consensus, as the troll leader commanded many mountain trolls to attack.

Ji Chen remained composed and waved his hand. The Crown of the Ocean army erupted with a powerful aura. Facing a significantly larger enemy force, their gaze remained fearless, and their morale remained high.

As an early-stage unit among the Crown of the Ocean, Naga Berserkers and Dragon Blood Murlocs had evolved and grown significantly in strength after countless advancements. They had reached an average level of 37, giving them a considerable advantage against these mountain trolls.

In the narrow tunnel entrance, the numerical disadvantage was negated. Only a few dozen mountain trolls could attack at a time, while the rest could only watch from behind.

From above, the lines formed by the troll’s charge looked like a tide crashing against a dam, splashing blood everywhere but unable to make an inch of progress.

The Ocean Crown’s army did suffer casualties, with many Naga Berserkers wounded and some killed in the frenzy of the mountain trolls’ attacks. However, they were quickly replaced by others, and the defense remained unyielding, as solid as a rock.

Ji Chen didn’t feel too concerned about the casualties. The presence of the Resurrection Altar allowed most fallen soldiers to be revived, so he didn’t worry too much about losses.

At this moment, he mentally prepared himself for the possibility of the entire army being wiped out. After all, these deceivers had chosen to trap them here, and they were undoubtedly well-prepared.

The swamp, once dominated by Marshland Dragons, was now filled with the sounds of battle.

Naga Berserkers, with their blood-red snake eyes, wielded bone blades that dripped hot blood, splattering the ground as if scalding the mud.

The Alvin Mountain Trolls lived up to their reputation as a major threat to the Maple Principality. Their attacks were ferocious, almost akin to higher-tier Half-Orcs.

They attacked recklessly, and each time they caused casualties to the Crown of the Ocean’s army, it boosted their morale, making them even more formidable and causing further casualties.

Seeing this scene, Ji Chen frowned slightly and decided to join the battle personally.

“Alice.”

Alice understood immediately after fighting side by side for a long time. She nodded and took a few steps forward.

The familiar but no less wonderful singing voice gradually filled the air.

Upon hearing the singing, the mountain trolls, while powerful but only at the fourth tier, were instantly controlled. Over a hundred of them turned their weapons on their own kind.

The other mountain trolls were initially puzzled by the singing but suddenly saw their comrades waving weapons at them, catching them off guard.

Ah!

In an instant, dozens of trolls were killed, and the formation descended into chaos.

The other mountain trolls were bewildered, but they quickly realized the situation.

“They’ve gone mad! Kill them!”

As it turned out, mountain trolls were not only skilled in fighting enemies but also quite adept at killing their own kind when driven to madness.

Soon, these hundred or so “mutinous” mountain trolls were swiftly dealt with. Just as they breathed a sigh of relief, they saw their nearby comrades suddenly stiffen, slowly turn around, and raise their weapons.

Their faces wore an expression of utter blankness.

Ah! More screams rang out.

Not to mention going on an all-out attack; at this point, every mountain troll felt paranoid, looking at their fellow comrades with suspicion, afraid they might suddenly turn against them.

Death wasn’t scary, but what was terrifying was being inexplicably killed by one’s own kind.

Queto watched this scene, finding it hard to believe his eyes. What the hell had happened? Why were the trolls suddenly lifting their weapons against their own kind?

Next to him, the silver-masked deceiver was also stunned, quickly realizing that this was the effect of the singing, his face turned extremely dark.

It seemed that the female companion of that filthy god-follower had done this. He had not expected her to possess such an ability, which was beyond his expectations.

-Of course, it was so. From the moment Ji Chen set foot on the land, he had tried his best to conceal his and his subordinates’ abilities. Except for the time at the dock when he had to deal with Yasen’s sudden attack, he had hardly demonstrated his true power.

However, even though outsiders might know that Ji Chen had formidable magical abilities, they remained clueless about the types and number of his skills, as well as how he executed them. The same applied to Alice and the others.

Most people probably thought of Alice as just a decorative figure, unaware of her formidable power.

Now, it was clear that they had concealed their abilities very well, achieving an unexpected and excellent effect.

As they watched the battlefield, where mountain trolls were constantly being controlled, switching sides or not attacking at all, it became increasingly awkward.

Some trolls even began to retreat, distancing themselves from their comrades.

Even the slow-witted Queto realized that something was wrong and angrily shouted, “Damn it! Why didn’t you tell me that this Lord of Glory had such abilities!?”

“My subordinates can’t afford to die in this worthless manner!”

At this rate, let alone dealing with this Lord of Glory, most of his subordinates would suffer heavy losses, and he would end up as a commander without an army.

The silver-masked deceiver, who concealed all emotions behind his mask, spoke in a calm and measured tone.

“No, they died quite valuably; their value lies in revealing that this kind of song can manipulate people.

Rest assured, the great deceiver has means to counter it.”

With that, he retrieved a scroll from his loose robe. “This is a rare Mana Suppression Scroll. When used, it creates a large-area weak magic suppression field. Both spells and mental powers will be significantly suppressed within it.

During its duration, Your Excellency Queto, it would be best for you to join us and quickly kill this filthy god-follower and bury him in this swamp.”

Hearing this, Queto’s anger surged rapidly. Why the hell didn’t they use this sooner? So many of his subordinates had died in vain.

In the end, he managed to suppress his anger temporarily and directed it towards the Lord of Glory.

Damn it! He must turn him into minced meat, or he wouldn’t find solace for his anger.

Seeing this, the silver-masked deceiver smirked and nodded, saying to a fellow masked deceiver at his side, “Bring up the preparations we made in advance. That despicable god-follower will undoubtedly make a forced move later, and then seize the opportunity to kill him.”

“Yes!”

After that, he slowly tore open the scroll.

The scroll suddenly erupted with a burst of golden light, shooting up into the sky.

When it reached the sky, it exploded like fireworks, and a strange energy poured down, forming an invisible magic array with a radius of one kilometer, enveloping the underground hall.

“Ding- You have been covered by the Weak Magic Array, your magical power is suppressed, and your magical strength is reduced by 80%, lasting for one hour.”

Upon hearing the system’s prompt, Ji Chen’s expression finally turned serious..
