Liu Siyi was originally at the back of the dwarf troops. The first attack caught them off guard, and the second attack used the explosion from the first to cover the direction of the Thunderbolt Bomb. The dwarves couldn't see the direction from which the Thunderbolt Bomb was launched. The Rune Elder, who could sense the gathering of magical elements, was also within the explosion range and was strongly interfered by the lightning elements, making it impossible to sense anything.
Even so, the magical power fluctuation when Liu Siyi released the first third-stage magic, the Thunderbolt Bomb, was still perceived by the Rune Elder.
However, at this moment, the attacks from the Thunder Eagles and Thunder Birds had already arrived. The dwarves had to face the attacks and could not retaliate against Liu Siyi, who was far away.
"Crack!" A thick bolt of lightning suddenly formed in the air and struck the enraged dwarf hero.
Capture the king first, this was a principle every person understood, and Liu Siyi was of course very clear about it. Next, his job was to repeatedly release Thunderbolts, and the target was only one: the dwarf hero.
Damn! Even if your magic defense is high, can you withstand fifty bolts of lightning?!
There was another unspoken thought: If you can really withstand it and occupy the Wall Nest, I'll have to develop elsewhere...
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Continuous Thunderbolts formed in the air and fiercely struck the dwarf hero.
The speed of lightning was incredibly fast. Each Thunderbolt formed and accurately struck the most towering dwarf bear cavalry hero in the dwarf formation.
The distance of two hundred meters was not far, and Liu Siyi could clearly see the situation. What made him somewhat elated was that the Thunderbolts striking the dwarf hero at least caused some damage and paralyzed him.
Just as the three Thunderbolts were released, the diving Thunder Birds also reached the close combat range with the dwarves.
Seeing the battle of the Thunder Birds, Liu Siyi once again realized that this was not a game. Even if the Thunder Birds, as an aerial unit, were extremely powerful, how could they possibly get entangled in a direct battle with ground units?
Eight Thunder Birds, with electric snakes surging all over their bodies, dived down at an incredible speed. Their lightning-fast talons clawed out several deep, bone-visible wounds on the bear cavalry. The electric current from the talons spread to the dwarves on the bears' backs, immediately paralyzing the dwarf knights, causing their war hammers to stop mid-swing.
Of course, the bear cavalry could not sit idly by in the face of the Thunder Birds' attack. However, even if the black bears stood up, they could not attack anything much higher than their heads. While a few dwarf war hammers hit the Thunder Birds' legs, the damage was minimal. After all, there was a two-stage difference in strength, and the black bears' most powerful attack point was ineffective, causing the bear cavalry's attack power to instantly drop to the lowest.
The attack method of the Thunder Birds was very unique, striking and then immediately retreating, giving the dwarves no chance to counterattack.
At this moment, the dwarf elder in the back cast a spell, a faint golden light rising from the elder's staff and falling on the dwarf hero and the surrounding axe warriors.
Healing, a first-stage spell, could restore a small amount of health.
Seeing the dwarf hero being healed, Liu Siyi was furious. Don't these Thunder Birds know to attack the enemy hero?! But there was nothing he could do; the Thunder Birds were not under his control and could attack whomever they wanted. Liu Siyi could only suppress his anger and continue releasing Thunderbolts.
Fortunately, with a long cry from the Thunder Eagle, the Thunder Birds, when they attacked again, targeted the dwarf hero.
This was right. Seeing the Thunder Birds form a formation, two Thunder Birds attacked from the left and right, followed by two more from the front and back, and the remaining four also did the same.
As mentioned earlier, the speed of the Thunder Birds was very fast, and the sudden change in tactics made it impossible for the bear cavalry to react and immediately come to the aid of the besieged hero. At this moment, what was the dwarf hero doing? It wasn't that he didn't want to do anything, but he was paralyzed by the continuous Thunderbolts and couldn't do anything. He could only watch helplessly as the Thunder Birds pounced, their large, sharp talons clawing down.
Hiding far away, Liu Siyi only saw the Thunder Birds continuously pounce, their talons clawing the dwarf hero's body. Although the armor blocked some of the attacks, the intense impact must have caused significant damage. When the last Thunder Bird flew up, a purple light suddenly appeared above the heavily injured dwarf hero. A pair of large, purple-electricity-covered talons firmly pressed the dwarf hero and the giant bear to the ground. Not only that, but during the pressing, powerful currents surged from the talons, striking the dwarf hero and causing a series of crackling sounds.
It turned out that battles could be like this. Seeing this scene, Liu Siyi couldn't help but marvel that there were so many things to pay attention to in future battles. Heroes were indeed very powerful. After being attacked by the Thunder Birds and Thunder Eagle, it was unknown whether the dwarf hero was defeated. Blocked by the bear cavalry, Liu Siyi couldn't see the situation inside.
However, this was a good opportunity to eliminate both sides.
Blindness!
Because he was not familiar with this spell and had not learned the fire magic skill, Liu Siyi could not cast it instantly and needed two seconds to chant the spell. However, to increase the damage, the Thunder Eagle did not immediately retreat after the attack but only started to withdraw after the dwarves counterattacked. When it rose to about five meters in the air, it was hit by the spell as expected. The sudden darkness around it made it let out a low cry, and it flapped its wings faster to quickly escape the dwarves' attack range.
However, it was too late. The fourth-stage dwarf axe warriors had already charged up, and the dwarf axe warrior who activated the Berserk skill had his muscles bulge, his body instantly growing larger. With a powerful leap, he reached the same height as the Thunder Eagle, or even higher.
If the Thunder Eagle had not been affected by the Blindness spell, it could have calmly faced the dwarves' counterattack. Whether it was flapping its wings, clawing with its talons, or pecking with its sharp beak, combined with the powerful currents wrapping around its body, it might have escaped unscathed.
However, in this world, there were many "buts" and no "ifs."
The first dwarf axe warrior who leaped up struck the Thunder Eagle's large head with his axe, creating a huge wound.
