CHAPTER XIX

In the wide corridor between the inner and outer gates, the Thornheart ghouls who had turned around and arrived blocked the path of the Gunod ghouls.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the two sides are both ghouls, but in the eyes of ghouls, there is a great difference between them: ethnically speaking, one side is a Nord, and the other is a Brighton; In terms of identity, one side is a dragon worshipper, and the other side is an oathbreaker; In terms of the source of power, one is from the dragon and the other is from King Didra.

As soon as they were confronted, the hostile relationship between fire and water was established without any suspense. Ghouls have neither feelings nor words, and there is only one way to express hostility, and that is to tear their enemies to shreds.

The Thornheart Ghouls have all been infused with the power of Dedra under the transformation of the Raven Ghost Woman, and although they are not yet like the Ghoul Lord's opponents, they are certainly far stronger than the ghoul miscellaneous soldiers who win in numbers in the opposing faction. Significantly higher average combat effectiveness is their only advantage.

On the other hand, the Ghoul side of the Gnod people seems to be showing a downward trend, and the ghouls are constantly disintegrating due to excessive corrosion and violent movement, and the actual combat effectiveness they can exert in the next tough battle is really worrying. The only advantage is the sheer size of the tide, their total number is at least ten times that of the Thornheart Ghouls, and I hope that the battle can be quickly resolved without too much force being consumed on self-inflicted damage.

Both sides have their own odds of winning, but there can only be one winner. I can't predict how the game will go, and the situation will only become clear once the two sides are in a fight.

……

The ghoul lord was stuck in his position by the hordes of miscellaneous soldiers and had to slow down and follow the current; And the Heart of Thorns Ghoul took the lead in rushing into the opponent's camp with its powerful combat power far beyond that of the miscellaneous soldiers.

One of the Thornheart ghouls who rushed to the front swung his weapon and intended to slash the neck of the Gounod ghoul in front of him from the side, but he didn't expect that the legs of the Gounod ghoul suddenly disintegrated and fell apart without warning, and the upper body that had lost its support immediately fell to the ground and fell into a mess of debris. The weapon slashed into the air, causing the Heart of Thorns ghouls to fall to the ground without their balance, and the surrounding Grunod ghouls swarmed up and engulfed it in the crowd.

However, this dramatic result was short-lived. The Gounod ghouls are plagued by the "Rotten Thing of Namira", and the connections of their limbs are extremely weak under the erosion of decay, and any damage they take is magnified several times over. The Thornheart Ghouls simply slashed their weapons to their left shoulder, but their right arm fell with them. The battle went on for a while, and the results were immediately clear, and the attacking Thornheart Ghouls were as unstoppable as wolves entering a flock.

And all this until the Heart of Thorns ghoul penetrated deep into the presence of the ghoul lord.

As one of the Thornheart Ghouls at the forefront was chopping melons and vegetables along the road, a pale blue ice crystal blew from directly in front of it, spraying it all over its body and condensing it. In the blink of an eye, the speed of the Thornheart Ghoul was an order of magnitude slower, and it was immediately knocked to the ground by the surrounding swords.

The ghoul lord is starting to strike. Frost breath? What it had just unleashed seemed to be a dragon's roar like I'd never seen before. Maybe I could have bypassed the dragon's wall and learned from it directly by listening to it, but I was a little far away from the battlefield, and the nature of the Frost Breath Dragon's Roar wasn't like the Forceless's ability to convince people to yell, so I couldn't hear its whispers.

Well, stop thinking about these inconsequential things, now it is necessary to focus on a completely new situation on the battlefield. When the Heart of Thorns ghoul confronts the ghoul lord in the opposing faction, the attack comes to an abrupt halt as if it had hit an iron plate. Next, it's time for the Gounod ghouls to counterattack.

As if they had realized that the violent backlash brought by the dragon's roar would shatter their already fragile bodies on the spot, the ghoul lords no longer used this move of killing 800 enemies and injuring 1,000 themselves, but took a roundabout route. They inhabit the crowd of ghouls and miscellaneous soldiers, inflicting the chill of frost breath on every Thornhearted ghoul who tries to get close. As a result, the Thornheart Ghouls are sluggish and have a much higher chance of being killed; The bodies of their own ghouls also underwent strange changes after being affected by the freezing air, and the slightly frozen bodies became stable and no longer shattered by the touch as before.

The Thorn Hearts that had penetrated deep into the enemy formation were killed one after another, and in just a few minutes, the one-sided battle situation was completely reversed. In this way, as long as the Ghoul use this tactic to push steadily, victory will inevitably befall them.

It's just that everyone has overlooked the fact that a certain heavyweight character has not yet joined the battle!

A scorching wave of air swept toward the battlefield, melting all the frost on the ghouls' bodies in an instant. And the one who burst out of this heat wave, Red Hawk, the leader of the Thornheart Ghouls, is about to enter the battle.

Thinking of the earth-shattering blow of the Red Eagle splitting the walls earlier, I sweated again for the Ghoul side of the Grunods. Even with the sturdy stone walls, the crumbling walking dead couldn't stand it. With that posture, I don't think there is a problem at all in smashing half a hundred ghouls with a sword, and if you count the oscillations of the aftermath, I'm afraid the casualties will more than double.

In fact, I think too much. In the current situation, Red Eagle didn't need to unsheath its sword at all.

Wave after wave of heat burst out of the Red Hawk, violently washing away all obstacles that stood in its path. Before the ghouls could reach the Red Hawk, they were blown into pieces by the scorching heat. With the Red Eagle as the center, within a radius of nearly ten meters, not a single enemy could walk in!

The Red Eagle had already entered the enemy line with this might, and its first target was the nearest ghoul lord.

Can't let this dangerous guy get any closer! Several ghoul lords tacitly launched an attack together, and the icy wind came from all directions, attacking the position of the red eagle. However, before the cold wind could touch the red eagle's body, it was steamed into a large white mist by the heat wave that erupted from its body, blocking the sight of the ghouls and hiding the red eagle in it.

Doesn't seem to be working for anything? Sensing that the Red Eagle was still taking solid steps in his direction, the Ghoul Lord decided to give it a go.

“Fus! Ro!! Dahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! ”

The earth-shattering roar of the dragon once again erupted across the battlefield. The ghoul lord who made the noise, and the horde of ghoul soldiers clustered around it, were naturally scattered into bones under the recoil of the dragon's roar.

On the other side, the dense white mist dissipated under the stormy waves of the dragon's roar, and the proud figure of the red eagle reappeared!
