Chapter 243: Bloody Battle

The two sides fought together, and in less than half an hour, the lake water, which was relatively clear just now, suddenly turned into a river of blood, and countless corpses floated on the lake.

With a loud roar, Lotherma rushed into enemy line with the massive Queldore's sword in his hand, while Kermarin remained behind to direct the battle.

The tactical objectives of the elves are very clear, with shield soldiers in front to block the onslaught of ghouls and zombies, while elven shooters in the rear are frantic and suppress the enemy with firepower.

Here, we have to emphasize the unique tactics of these elves.

The feathered arrows in their baskets are all made of special materials, and are blessed with some wind magic, combined with the elves' unique eagle eye technique, and in just one volley, the fiery arrows ignite most of the zombies.

The zombies dried their flammable physiques, causing the fire to spread in a short instant, and Xue Huan, who was at the rear, even smelled the smell of burning.

Two days earlier, at the behest of Sylvanas, the elves had erected several towers on the south bank, and some of the elven archers stood on towers made of stone and earth, shooting arrows with their bows and arrows.

The undead creatures are menacing, brutal and melee powerful, but their decaying limbs make it difficult for them to ascend, and they can only watch the elven archers on the towers.

With excellent tactics and adequate preparation, in the first half of the battle, the more than 20,000 elven troops led by Sylvanas were able to withstand the attack of more than 200,000 undead troops.

But that's just the beginning.

Under Xue Huan's orders, nearly 20,000 resurrected skeleton archers began to fight back, blinking their big green eyes and mechanically drawing their bows and arrows, competing with the elven archers on the other side of the river for accuracy.

The frontal battlefield is like a meat grinder, every second, a person falls, and the next moment, countless people step on his corpse and swarm up.

In this kind of large-scale war where the number of people on both sides is up to hundreds of thousands, the power of the individual is a bit humble, unless you are a demigod-level guy, otherwise you can't have much impact on the war at all.

And now Sylvanas, that's it.

The Windranger family has been dealing with bows and arrows since childhood, and Sylvanas is no exception, but when faced with the undead creatures who have come forward and pounced on them like demons, the Ranger General feels a sense of weakness.

"Multiple arrows!!"

The heroic Sylvanas jumped high, and at the same time the bow and arrows in his hand did not stop, and with a coquettish shout, three silver arrows roared out almost simultaneously.

"Whew!!"

The silver light streaked across the battlefield like a small pop, and dispersed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in just a few seconds, it turned into a silver streamer that covered the battlefield.

Wherever the streamer passed, the undead fell with a wail.

As a lord-level ranger general Sylvanas, with just one shot from his bow, he emptied a small area of undead, but the death of about two dozen ghouls was not at all insignificant to Xue Huan, they had just fallen, and in the next second, more ghouls screamed and pounced.

Sylvanas' gaze swept coldly over the walking dead, they had no fear, only obedience and killing, she had never seen these monsters born purely for battle.

And even more desperate news is yet to come.

Although they had a slight advantage in the early days, another problem with Sylvanas' forces came to light - they were too small in force.

In the face of the brave and fierce undead creatures, the elven archers standing on the tower and in the back are fine, but in the front of the big front, the elven shield soldiers who fight naked with the undead are miserable.

You must know that among these soldiers, the highest level is only a second-order warrior, and in the face of ghouls and zombies that are twice as large as themselves, it is already very good to be able to withstand the impact for an hour.

But the appearance of abomination instantly shattered the illusions of these elven soldiers!!

One by one, the huge stitching monsters rumbled across the battlefield like a meat bullet chariot, and the key was that there were quite a few of these guys, more than three hundred of them, and they almost easily destroyed the defense line that the elven soldiers had built with great difficulty.

And what makes the elven soldiers collapse the most is that the comrades killed by these monsters will be resurrected by those guys who are all covered in black cloaks in the blink of an eye, and join the enemy's camp, and their archery skills and combat effectiveness are not much weaker than before they were alive.

In this way, despite the excellent performance of Lotherma and Kermarin, and Sylvanas also fighting bloodily, in the face of the Scourge forces that have formed an encirclement network, their killing speed is far from keeping up with the regeneration speed of those guys.

Xue Huan rode on a skeletal war horse with evil fire in his eyes, staring at the battlefield with a smile on his face.

His army of the undead is so powerful that he hardly needs to take action himself, and if he can still play with him with the advantage of the city's high walls, then fighting in the field is simply self-defeating.

20,000 against 200,000, Sylvanas was very well prepared, and his tactics were quite targeted, but after all, he couldn't withstand the huge disadvantage in troops.

This is no longer a battle, but a one-sided slaughter.

Gavin Rad was trapped in the enemy formation, his eyes were red, this fifth-order apocalypse knight had been performing well since he was sublimated by himself, and many times he could even charge into battle instead of himself, saving himself some unnecessary trouble.

It's time to think about giving this lover some rewards, Xue Huan thought as he touched his chin.

And Talisa, the fallen elf who was riding another war horse and had been watching him by Xue Huan's side, pouted: What bad idea is this guy playing again?

In fact, in the past few days of following Xue Huan, Talisha has become more and more curious about this person.

At the beginning, she also joined the Cataclysmic Legion with the purpose of being interested in Xue Huan, and it can be said that Xue Huan and her are the only two living people in the Calamity Legion, and their status can be seen.

But after just a few days of getting along, Talisha found that she couldn't see through this man even more.

First of all, his character, taciturn, cold and abnormal, especially for life, his degree of indifference can be said to reach the point of madness, outrageous.

Talisha asked herself if she was a compassionate woman, but Xue Huan sometimes showed a desire to kill and abuse that was beyond her limits.

Talisa couldn't imagine what this man had gone through to become so dismissive of life and murderous that he sometimes didn't spare even young children.

The second is the purpose, not to mention the purpose of him to form such an army of death that is hostile to all the creatures of Azeroth, from her own point of view, Talisa does not know why this man would choose to let him go, according to the various "cases" she has seen in the past few days, this guy can kill himself and resurrect him as a killing tool completely loyal to him, but he did not do so, which makes Talisha a little confused.

After all, when she saw Xue Huan with her own eyes, she had already made up her mind to die.

All in all, after just a few days of getting along, Tarissa found that not only did she not understand the man, but she was more confused.

But she is not in a hurry, because she knows that the more complex the person, the more interesting it is to study, from childhood to adulthood, whether it is elves or humans, there are too many people who are the same and boring, and she has seen too many.

Anyway, he is already his captive, and he will die both horizontally and vertically, so it is better to enjoy his time with this special man while he is alive, which is also a lot of fun.

Looking at Xue Huan blankly, the corners of Talisha's mouth curled into a mysterious smile, but Xue Huan didn't have time to pay attention to these.

Now he is staring at the battlefield with all his attention, the sea of undead corpses like a black flood has gradually engulfed the elven defense line, and behind those elves who are about to collapse, a glorious Phoenix City is gradually revealing its appearance...
