Chapter 241: Disparity in Strength
Although the enemy army in front of him was dozens of times his own number, whether it was Illidan as the leader, the Night Elves, or even the vassal race auxiliary units accompanying the army, these so-called human elite soldiers were nothing more than chickens and dogs.
And in the face of the attack initiated by the Night Elves, the human soldiers were also a little panicked. His own king had just been killed by these hateful people in full view, and the blow to morale was incomparably severe.
Fortunately, although the high-ranking people were panicked by the sudden death of the Archduke West, they were anxious to consider their own safety and the merits of the king's death; However, the officers of the middle and lower ranks still firmly followed the previous battle plan, and shrank towards the night elves who were coming to countercharge, and contracted the encirclement.
These soldiers, who were only trainee strength or even ordinary strong men, didn't know what they were going to face, but raised their weapons at the onrushing aliens on the opposite side at the shouts of their bosses.
Because they didn't know the strength of the Night Elves, and what the Duchy army had been advertising for the past few days was that the enemy's strength was not strong, so the soldiers at the bottom didn't feel that there was anything to fear about the Night Elves who were charging towards them.
They even pointed at some of the Night Elves who were rushing at the front. "These aliens are really thin!" "I'll knock down this alien with thin arms and legs with a single sword," the sturdy human soldiers looked very disdainful of the slender Night Elves.
However, the Night Elves, who seemed to be moths to the flames, who rushed to the forefront, soon had a change that shocked and even frightened the humans.
I saw that the originally slender Night Elves gradually grew in size as they ran rapidly, and they were soon surrounded by clusters of earthy yellow light. And just as they were about to rush in front of the human army. The Night Elves who rushed to the front transformed into huge brown and yellow bears.
"The Great Earth Bear?!! Some of the mages in the army let out shouts that bordered on moaning. Humans in general don't know it. But mages are generally well-informed scholars. Naturally, you can recognize some of the more famous magical beasts.
"It's over" The leader of the National Mage Regiment of the Duchy of West dissipated the magic power he had just gathered, muttered and let go of the staff in his hand, and fell to the ground. The Earth Bear is a legendary-level powerful magical beast, and there are dozens of Earth Bears in front of him?
Ordinary human soldiers are also becoming uneasy. Although they didn't know these giant brown bears, their sheer size had put a lot of pressure on them, not to mention the twenty mountain giants who had made the ground tremble as they walked.
Under the command of lower-ranking officers, the human army gradually formed a formation. The archers in the rear also bent their bows and shot at the Earth Bears who were getting closer and closer. Countless arrows were struck.
At the same time, the collective swallowed saliva. The tower shield men in the front row slammed their solid tower shields into the ground, and the spearmen behind them also raised their spears diagonally upwards. This is the most reasonable preparation to deal with the enemy's charge.
However, the Earth Bears, which had evolved from the Claw Druids, did not continue to charge forward after approaching the human army. I saw that these brown-yellow giant bears stopped about 30 meters away from the human formation, and the earthy yellow light on their bodies caused the arrows of the human archers to either break or bounce off them.
Almost at the same time, fifty clawed druids roared in anger, and 100 of their front paws slammed into the ground. The ground suddenly began to shake as if there had been a small earthquake under the tremendous force of so many giant bears.
However, this "secondary disaster" alone is obviously difficult to bring any damage to the elite human army, and the Earth Bears did not think about defeating the enemy by slapping the ground.
Three seconds after fifty Earth Bears slammed into the ground, a terrifying scene occurred in the formation of the human soldiers who were still swaying from side to side. I saw countless sharp stone spikes slamming out of the ground, penetrating the bodies of human soldiers one by one, and bringing up countless blood flowers.
It's just five seconds. The human army, which was originally in a well-organized formation, has become a hell on earth. I saw that a phalanx with nearly 3,000 human soldiers had all turned into corpses hanging on stone spears at this time. And then there was the howl that haunted the stone forest—or rather the corpse forest.
This is actually the magic of the Earth Spear that comes with the fifty claw druids that transform into Earth Bears. The magic of the eighth-level demonic beast is not too easy to use against these human soldiers who are only apprentices or have not yet entered the ranks!
Soon, the stone spears that had been drilled out of the ground retracted back to the ground. The ground on which the human army was originally located has become extremely flat. It's just that the human soldiers who were originally standing on it have been turned into a field of blood and minced flesh, causing endless fear in the hearts of other humans.
That's 3,000 elite soldiers!! In just a few seconds, they disappeared in front of everyone, and the casualties of the other side were zero - yes, the Earth Bears all possessed Earth Guardian magic, and the humans' ranged attacks failed to even injure them.
After dealing with the human army at the front, the Earth Bear, who had stopped the charge, took advantage of the shock and fear of the other human armies, and launched an attack on the human army further behind with four thick legs.
Twenty mountain giants followed, waving their huge tree trunks and rushing towards the human soldiers. The Mountain Giants are followed by two hundred huntresses, and the huntress who have become heavy armor units can already make a big difference in the frontal battlefield, instead of being limited to being rangers as before.
As for the largest number of Night Elf archers, they stayed in place with some auxiliary units of the vassal races, and began to rain arrows on the heads of the human army, whose morale had dropped to freezing point.
The Storm Shooters snipe the mid- and lower-ranking officers in the Duchy of West's army with their superior marksmanship; The Lightning Shooters unleashed lightning combos, raining arrows at 200 percent of their original attack speed, and occasionally splitting more arrows with scattered shots.
Although there were only 500 Night Elf archers on the field, their long-range offensive was stronger than the Duchy of West's army with 5,000 archers.
Supported by the Night Elf archers' long-range fire, Earth Bears, Mountain Giants, and Huntress quickly rushed into the human army and slaughtered them. (To be continued.) )
