Chapter 381: Mountain Giant
Let the ranged troops led by Archmage Levy and Tang Shi make the final effort, while Li Ran ordered Doric to take the giant warriors down the wall and pick up the steel rod that Kogashi had carefully designed for them and made by the dwarves. The steel sticks held by the 14 mountain giants were thicker, but painted the color of decaying stumps.
As the hammer sound of the four-armed blood ape became louder and louder, the gate of the territory fell violently, and the four-armed blood ape group roared wildly, just as they were about to rush in, at this time, Li Ran waved his sword, but 14 mountain giants took the lead in swinging out with huge iron rods in their hands, and about fifty one-eyed slingers and angry rock giants followed, followed by hundreds of high-rock minotaur warriors and Modo warriors.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the door opened, the first thing I saw was many tall giant warriors, and the four-armed blood apes were obviously in a daze, but they were still dazzled by the war and quickly launched an attack on the giant warriors.
Because of the huge difference in size and rank, even the four-armed blood ape in a somewhat berserk state could not withstand the weapons in the hands of the mountain giants, not to mention that it was a heavy weapon specially tailored for them, especially suitable for this kind of positional warfare. The moment the two sides touched, they saw blood splattered and corpses flew sideways from the four-armed blood apes.
However, these splashes of blood and corpses did not frighten the four-armed blood apes, and in the rapid roar of the leader behind them, more four-armed blood apes flew over, like endless fallen leaves trying to extinguish the burning fire.
One side was tasked with defending the gates, while the other was desperately trying to storm the city, and it was at this small gate that a great battle began.
Although he was a little reluctant, Li Ran still sent the mountain giants to guard the front line and act as the gate of the human flesh. At this time, as long as they can hold for a while, more than a hundred elven archers and dozens of mages on the wall will be able to attack one more round. Although the lethality of these ranged attackers was far less than at the beginning due to the decline in physical strength and mana, nearly two hundred ranged attackers were still able to kill dozens of four-armed blood apes in one round of attacks.
A few minutes later, when the first mountain giant fell, Li Ran hurriedly ordered the angry rock giants and slingers in the second row to go up, and at the same time dragged down most of the mountain giants who had been seriously injured. Give it to the medical team led by Dorik behind him.
And then it was like this again, using these tall and strong giant warriors, Li Ran blocked the gate after several replacements, and although more than a dozen giant warriors died for this, he still won a few minutes for the ranged troops. In the face of the double blow of giant warriors and ranged troops, the number of four-armed blood apes also dropped rapidly, and finally their corpses were piled up outside the city gate.
When the last few giant warriors were replaced, Li Ran waved his sword and led the melee troops who had long been unable to hold back. The corpses of the bloody arms of the blood ape and the giant warrior rushed out.
The Minotaur leader Saquille led the charge with his troops, and the leader who led the tribe to a dead end because of his immense ability to fight in close combat, led his people to launch the most famous heroic charge of the Minotaurs.
Compared to the fierce but chaotic group of four-armed bloody arms, the charge of more than 200 high-rock bull-headed warriors was undoubtedly shocking, and the rounds of long-handled battle axes were like countless life-seeking demons in the charge, wantonly and greedily harvesting the lives around them.
As for the Modo warriors who followed them, they were known for their ferocity, and most of the blood apes killed by them were incomplete corpses. One by one, the killing intent was pervasive, making the opponent shudder. The Leopard Warriors, on the other hand, are known for their agility, and the four-armed blood apes that are scattered by the High Rock Minotaurs are often in front of their eyes. The steel claws of the clansmen were already at their vital point, and they didn't know where they were injured until they died.
As for the Frost Mastiff, the battle that came out in the end was also the easiest, and they were also beasts, and the high-level Frost Mastiff undoubtedly had a suppression from the soul of the mid-level four-armed blood ape, although it played a small role in the war. However, the attacks of the Frost Mastiff often come with Freezing Damage, whether they are bitten or caught, the four-armed blood ape will slow down the decline in strength, and it will not hurt them at all, and these Frost Mastiffs know how to cooperate with each other very well. Often, when one is in danger, others of the same kind will immediately come to help.
This is a real war, looking at Li Ran, who was fighting under the protection of the two guards Wuqi and Gilro, Wu Tongtong silently said in his heart, although he had participated in some large-scale battles organized by the company before, he had little to do with himself, at best he was just a supporting role and cannon fodder. So this is the biggest war she has ever experienced about herself.
Thinking of this, she secretly performed an agility technique on Li Ran, and got an encouraging smile from the former after turning around.
At this moment, Wu Tongtong smiled happily, looked at the battle situation around him, and saw that the time was almost up. She turned around and ran back to the territory, and after a few minutes, she rushed out again, only this time she rode a high-level silver pegasus, and at the same time, in addition to a dozen high-level knights, there were also 6 huge ankylosaurus beasts and 30 tenth-order bison. And behind these beasts is a team of hardcover dwarven warriors of more than 400 people.
The war that seemed to be in a stalemate before, because the appearance of this strange soldier was instantly disrupted, because of its size, the charge of the ankylosaurus and the bison quickly scattered the four-armed blood ape. And the timely addition of hardcover dwarven warriors also made up for the disadvantage of Li Ran's lack of numbers.
Although the four-armed blood ape didn't care about these dwarf warriors who were only four or five ranks, the fine iron armor on the other party's body made it impossible for the four-armed blood ape to take them for a while, and the high-level soldiers such as the high-level soldiers of the Gaoyan Minotaur and the Modo warriors who were freed from the siege were quickly destroying the remaining four-armed blood apes.
After a few minutes, the situation on the battlefield gradually became clear, when the city gate was captured, there were only about 2,000 of more than 3,000 four-armed blood apes left, and they were blocked by Li Ran with giant warriors at the door for several minutes, and only about 1,500 remained. And under the long-prepared Gaoyan Minotaur warriors, they took the other party by surprise, plus the Modo warriors and the frost elephant mastiff instantly rushed to kill more than 200 four-armed blood apes, and the number of remaining four-armed blood apes was only less than 1,200.
At this time, the remaining more than 1,000 four-armed blood apes could barely resist at first by relying on their numerical superiority in the battle with Li Ran's nearly five hundred high-level warriors, but the charge of these dozens of beasts and hundreds of hardcover dwarven warriors led by Wu Tongtong pressed the scale of victory down.
Beasts were only beasts after all, and although they were overwhelmed by the battle and blood, as death slowly approached, these four-armed blood apes gradually became uneasy, and some of them stopped attacking and looked around in horror.
When the first four-armed blood ape escaped, Li Ran knew that he had won, although the price was a bit large, but he managed to secure the territory in the hands of this group of unreasonable four-armed blood apes.
The next thing is naturally to send troops to chase and kill, and under the separate pursuit of Xia Houben and others, this war did not end until the evening.
It was a pyrrhic victory, and at noon the next day, the old village chief Morga handed Li Ran a casualty breakdown, 11 giant warriors died, including 2 mountain giants, 3 angry rock giants, and 6 cyclops. 46 people died in the high rock minotaur, 26 Modo warriors, 12 leopard warriors, 15 elven archers, 5 mid-level mages, and 128 hardcover dwarven warriors died because their strength was too weak. Even the tenth-order bison were killed by 5. In addition, some of the four-armed blood apes that ran into the territory in the confusion caused the deaths of more than a dozen villagers and several guards.
Looking at the people around him, Li Ran asked about the four-armed blood apes that had escaped, if they were not disposed of in a hurry, it would be a hidden danger to the residents who went out to collect.
When he learned that some of the escaped four-armed blood apes had gathered together again, and the largest of them was hundreds, Li Ran and the others made personnel arrangements for going out to exterminate them today.
Speaking of this capture, in addition to the 370 four-armed blood ape prisoners of war, the best trophies this time are the fangs of the dead four-armed blood apes, which can be melted into weapons in the hands of enchanters or high-level weapon craftsmen, and can be tempered into magic weapons, with additional blood-sucking functions, and this thing is also the material needed by mages to cast bone spurs, bone gifts, and vampire kisses after grinding into powder, even in the market of the imperial capital is in short supply.
As for the four-armed blood ape, there is another good thing, that is, their skin, which is a good material for leather armor, in addition to the soft and light texture does not affect the speed, it also has a good defense, and the use of advanced four-armed blood ape can master the furious art of the skin made of leather armor, can also attach the skill effect of berserk power, which can be triggered at any time in battle.
Li Ran asked the old village chief Morga, this time he probably got more than 4,000 blood ape fangs and 1,600 blood ape skins, of which about 340 can make magical berserk leather armor, but unfortunately there are no good leather armor makers in the territory, and the existing tailors can only make some simple leather armor, if they let them make magical berserk leather armor, it will not work, there will be a great possibility of failure.
After thinking about it, Li Ran still decided not to waste these materials for the first time, and decided to wait for a while to go to Edoron City to hire a leather armor maker, and then let the current tailor in the territory learn from him, so that he would also have a professional leather armor maker in the future.
Leave the matter to Doric, who nods that there is no problem, just hiring a leather armor maker or two. Doric proposed to hire a few more enchanters or high-level craftsmen to come back, and the territory had seized a lot of magic materials during this time, plus this time to enter 4,000 blood ape fangs, it would be a pity if they could not be turned into combat power.
Li Ran naturally had no opinion on this, but after inquiring about the hiring price of a high-level enchanter, he couldn't help but feel a little distressed. The conversation naturally turned to another tribe of barbarians who posed a major threat to the territory. (To be continued......)
