Chapter Twenty-Three: The War of Man and Beast

Five days later, Darry ushered in the first big battle of his life. If you compare this battle with the previous battle against the 5,000 thieves, the battle against the thieves is like a child fighting, and it is not on the table at all.

On the vast plain, tens of thousands of troops were discharged one by one, and the people from the Holy Heaven Empire alone were several kilometers away, and it was the first time for Darui to experience this kind of battle, and the shock could not be described in words.

On the other hand, on the orc side, the number of people is more than double that of the Holy Heavens. Orc warriors, especially bears, minotaurs, etc., are almost two to three times the size of human soldiers, and they are like giants.

Well, growing that big isn't all about the benefits. First of all, when you grow bigger, you must eat more, so the food problem has always been the biggest constraint that restricts the development of orcs, which is one of the reasons why they continue to wage wars against the Holy Heaven Empire.

Being big is associated with the word clumsy, so the orc's weapon-making technology is also very backward, and it can even be said to be primitive. This is evident from the fact that they were dressed in animal skins and held crudely made maces in their hands, which would not have been as good as burning sticks if it weren't for a few iron nails on the sticks.

Darui rode the Thunder Beast, carried the Golden Eagle and looked at the orcs in the distance, and his fighting spirit was high.

"Are those orcs? I've always been looking at the pictures in books, and this time I finally saw real people. Sure enough, he is very tall, and he is very suitable as an arrow target. ”

“......”

Mark, who was already too nervous, felt the urge to roll his eyes when he heard Dary's last words, and was speechless......

"Roar"

A bear clan man with a height of more than three meters raised his head to the sky and roared, and then a team of more than two thousand bear people roared in unison, the sound shook the heavens and the earth, and many war horses on the side of the Holy Heaven Empire screamed, and they retreated several meters in fright.

"Rumble"

More than 2,000 bear men took a big stride and rushed towards this side at a speed that was not lost to the war horses, and the sound of ten thousand horses galloping sounded on the plain, and the battle began.

Dai Gaot rode a fourth-level pale tiger, his face cold.

"Let's get started......"

In the blink of an eye, the bears had rushed within 100 meters, and the iron shield men at the front of the human army suddenly broke out from behind them with a team of big crossbowmen, and the large crossbow arrows of more than one meter were aimed at the oncoming bears.

Great war crossbowmen, just like their titles, the crossbows in their hands are one size larger than the ordinary crossbow arrows, one person can't control them at all, and two people must be used, one person uses his back as the support of the crossbow, and one hand is responsible for aiming and firing.

Although it is a little bulky, the range and power of this kind of crossbow are very strong, and the crossbow arrows are similar to the design of armor-piercing arrows, not to mention the body of an orc, even hard rock can be pierced with an arrow.

"Shoot the arrows!"

"Woo Woo Blah ......"

Pieces of crossbow arrows flew out, as if a gust of wind was blowing in the sky, and in an instant, a piece of bears fell to the ground with arrows, and the crossbow arrows more than a meter long penetrated their bodies and still had no momentum, and then flew backwards with them for four or five meters before they were nailed to the ground. The smell of blood spread and kicked off this bloody battle......

Crossbow arrows were shot in rows, but the bears rushed over as if they didn't know what they were afraid of. After only three rounds of shooting, they were already less than forty meters away from the Holy Heaven army.

At this moment, the flag officer beside Dai Gaot sounded the flag again, the neighing of the war horse sounded, and a team of heavily armored cavalry, even the war horse with armor, rushed out like a torrent of iron and blood, crashed into the team of bears, and the brutal hand-to-hand combat began.

The orcs of different races began to roar in unison, and the minotaurs and the bravest of the lionmen burst out of the phalanx and joined in hand-to-hand combat. The Holy Heaven also sent hoplites to participate in the battle, and the strongest troops in hand-to-hand combat on both sides collided head-on.

Among the orcs, the bears have the strongest defense and impact, so they are at the forefront of every battle, which is a bit of cannon fodder. However, once they get past the range of the crossbow arrows, their terrifying attack power will be revealed, and no one will use them as cannon fodder.

The Minotaur and Lion Man are not inferior to the bears in terms of attack power, but their defense is weak, especially in the face of the crossbows, they have almost no resistance, so they follow behind the bears and wait for hand-to-hand combat to start before rushing up to fight.

Seeing that the centaurs on both sides have been twisted together, hundreds of lives are lost every minute, whether orcs or humans. At such times, the role of the archer is greatly weakened, after all, you can't shoot indiscriminately. It is precisely because the orcs understand this that they do not hesitate to consume the precious bear people, and they must rush over.

Looking at the brutal battle in the distance, the excitement that Darry had felt at the beginning had faded, and all that remained was a visceral shudder.

"Commander...... Captain!"

"Huh, what's the matter?"

Dari was called back to his senses by the adjutant general's voice, and it seemed that even Dari was a little uncomfortable when he saw such a huge war painting for the first time.

"Commander, we will attack in a while, and the werewolf, the nemesis of our archers, is about to come out. ”

"Okay, let the brothers get ready to fight and shoot these wolf cubs hard!"

"Yes......"

Werewolves, both in attack and defense, are weaker than the three clans that have already participated in the battle, but the werewolves are very fast, especially in short-distance sprints, far better than those three clans. Therefore, their role is similar to that of the Rush Team, whose mission is to rush into the crossbow phalanx at a very fast speed and completely disintegrate the long-range attacks of the humans.

To counter them, the role of the archers was especially important. First of all, in terms of speed, the archers are the fastest on the human side, which is not lost to werewolves, and secondly, every time the five-ring crossbow is fired, it can at least pick up two to three werewolves, and among all the troops, it is the most suitable to stop werewolves.

In the past few days since Dari took over the archers, he has also learned about his mission, and today is the time for acceptance.

Large gray figures rushed out of the orc phalanx, unlike other clansmen who had to roar before attacking, werewolf attacks were always silent, if you didn't pay attention, maybe they all rushed in front of you, and you only found out.

"Commander, they're on the move. ”

"Okay, brother, rush me, don't let go of any werewolf, rush!"

The horses roared in unison, and Dari took the lead, leading his men to bow and ride around the side of the main battlefield, and surrounded the werewolves in an outflanking way.

The werewolf's ear power is second only to the cat man, so as soon as they set out in Dari, they were discovered. As the so-called enemies are very red when they meet, every time they fight, both sides are opponents, so they know each other very well, seeing the archers surrounding, the werewolves immediately gave up the task of rushing to the crossbow phalanx, and rushed straight to the archers as fast as possible.

"Shoot the arrows!"

The sound of bowstrings was incessant, and the archers drew their formations into a single row of diagonal lines, took turns to go up and release their arrows, and then immediately turned their horses and retreated. The archers are very strong in combat at medium and long distances, but if they are rushed in front of them by the wolf cavalry, they will only be slashed.

Darry is not like ordinary archers who use crossbow arrows, and after a round of shooting, they have to re-mount the bowstring with their feet, so they don't have to go backwards at all.

For the first time, the magic sound of the dragon bow sounded on this battlefield, and a shining yellow armor-piercing cone flashed, and a large blood flower burst out among the wolves.

"Puff ......"

Four werewolves in a row, without even a chance to react, only felt that their necks were cold and fell down forever, and large strands of blood spurted out of the blood hole in the middle of their necks.

"Okay, the head of the regiment is sharp!"

"One arrow killed four wolves, it's really not a loss to be the head of the regiment. ”

Darry smiled faintly, as long as the bow was in his hand, his heart seemed to be still, and there would never be a feeling of tension.

"Is this an orc......? Brother, work hard to destroy this group of werewolves!"

In the blink of an eye, three more arrows were released, and more than a dozen werewolves fell in a pool of blood without even letting out a scream.

Encouraged by Dary, the morale of the archers suddenly rose, and not only the speed of the attack was much faster, but even the accuracy of the head was also improved a lot. This three-hundred-hundred-year-old werewolf brigade, which had rushed the fastest, was wiped out in less than ten minutes.

It's a pity that before the archers could make a sound, a group of at least two thousand werewolves rushed towards them, led by a werewolf, who was actually more than two meters five meters tall, with smoke-colored long hair all over his body, and a pair of eyes flashing with a terrifying green light, and his momentum was extraordinary.

"Be careful, Commander, that guy is the leader of the Werewolf Hunting Regiment, and our previous commander died at his hands. ”

"Oh, it looks very strong, I'm interested in meeting him. ”

When a large number of enemies came, the archers immediately changed their formation, from a single platoon to a double platoon, with one platoon attacking first, then quickly retreating, and the second platoon immediately filling up, alternating attacks. This will allow you to kill and damage the enemy without giving them a chance to rush over.

Due to the backwardness of their weapons, the werewolves did not even have a shield in their hands, and before they rushed to the side of the archers, they were only shot continuously. Dary, on the other hand, let the Thunderstorm follow the movement, and he himself focused all his energy on the werewolf leader.

Werewolves, or all orcs, are born with fighting spirit or magical power, and over the years of development, each of them has developed the most suitable martial arts and magic for their own cultivation. At this point, orcs are stronger than humans, especially in the number of warriors below level four, orcs far surpass humans.

By feeling, Darry knew that the strength of this werewolf leader was not below him, and he could be said to be the strongest opponent he had encountered. It is likely that he has reached the level of the first master of the academy, Minos. So he paid attention to it and didn't dare to underestimate the enemy.

Darui's momentum was also felt by the wolf leader, the smoke hairs on his whole body instinctively stood up, a pair of green eyes stared at Dari, his legs flicked violently, and he pounced like a sharp arrow, and Darui's eyesight could only see a vague shadow.

"So fast!"

The Golden Eagle Eye was used, the figure of the wolf leader materialized again, Dari pulled the dragon bow in his hand, and the forest field was in full swing.

"It seems that this battle will be short, but there is only one ...... who will survive"

The scorching breath emanated from Dari's hand, and the flaming arrows formed by the pure energy gathered were the precursors of the Meteor Fire Feather Arrows.

"Buzz"

A trembling sound that could shatter a human eardrum, and an arrow of flame streaked through the void, sending a wave of super-high heat.

The wolf group leader was taken aback, he never expected that the human in front of him could actually capture himself moving at high speed. In the blink of an eye, the flaming arrows were shot in front of him, and it was too late to dodge.

"Roar"

The sharp wolf claws raised and grabbed the flaming arrows that were shooting, since they couldn't dodge, then block them!

"Poof"

Imagine that the violent explosion did not appear, and the flaming arrows were scattered as if they were made of flour. The wolf leader was stunned, and wondered why this seemingly powerful arrow was so anticlimactic.

But when he came back to his senses and was ready to continue to pounce on Darry, an unexpected scene played out.

I saw that the large number of sparks left after the flame arrows dispersed, suddenly rushed towards the unsuspecting wolf leader like a living firefly, and then ......

"Boom Boom Boom Boom ......"

Successive explosions sounded, and every bit of spark was equivalent to the full force of a third-level fighting spirit master, and these dozens of blows all hit the body of the wolf leader in less than two seconds, and the damage caused was considerable.

Darry smiled coldly, "Stupid orcs, it's a pity that your innate wild instincts don't know how to take advantage of them at all. But ......"

Pulling out a phoenix tail arrow from the quiver, the advanced earth fighting qi on Darui's body turned into an earthy yellow in a blink of an eye, and he actually wanted to use two seven-star Zhenyu arrows in a row!

"Roar...... Despicable human, I'm going to tear you apart!"

In the smoke and dust of the explosion, the wolf leader was in tatters, and the thick smoke hair had now become pitted, and more than seventy percent of it had been blown off, and the animal skins worn on his body had also been shattered, and now only a few small pieces could be seen. The most serious wound was his ear, the pointed ear on the left had completely disappeared, and the flesh on his head was blurred, becoming the legendary ear!
