Chapter 770.2: Medieval War
Humans had weapons that were created by elves, while the tribes had dwarves responsible for creating weapons.
Each side had its own strengths.
*Dum-doo-doo-oo-oo-oo-oo~*
The Imperial battle horn sounded on the battlefield, signifying an imminent clash.
*Boom!*
A low muffled explosion suddenly rang out from behind the Tribal Union Army. Black debris suddenly began to fly out of the fortress behind them.
This must have been the work of the bomb that was created by the goblins.
Seeing this scene, all the warriors on the empire's side were enraged. What happened was what the new legion commander, Carlos, feared the most.
The tribal alliance decided to destroy the fortress from the inside.
Once a large breach was made in the stronghold, even if the empire was able to recapture it, they would still constantly suffer from the endless attacks of the Tribal Alliance armies.
It seemed that the union was well aware that the empire would make every effort to reclaim the fortress, so they decided not to defend it, but simply destroy it from the inside. Even if they had to sacrifice a huge number of their warriors to do so, it would be worth it, after all, if they managed to destroy one of the main fortresses, the empire's situation would worsen dramatically.
*DUN-DUN-DUN...*
The deafening sound of battle drums came from behind the imperial army. A giant about ten meters tall, holding a hammer in his hands, beat it on a huge drum that was covered with runes.
Hearing the sound of the drum, Su Xiao's heartbeat began to increase, and the blood in his body began to flow much faster.
[You have been given the positive effect of "Iron Blood Legion Battle Drum Song".».
You have received the following boosts: Movement Speed +5%; Strength +1 point; Stamina +1 point; Pain Perception -20%.]
As the drums began to sound, the Empire's warriors began to march forward in unison.
To the sound of battle drums, hundreds of thousands of people marched in unison, making a sound like the tide of waves.
The drumbeats became more insistent, and the warriors ' footsteps became more rapid. Gradually, they changed from a slow pace to a fast one, and finally, they broke into a frenzied run.
— Kill these weak imperial warriors!
Su Xiao heard the roar from the direction of the Tribal Union army, but couldn't locate its source.
There were no tactics involved in such battles. In such skirmishes, only combat formations were used.
The spearmen who were in front of the imperial army attacked first. They pointed their spears and halberds forward. The rows of spears and halberds formed a single horizontal line.
The result of several years of training immediately made itself felt.
The two armies would meet in just a few moments.
Just when the Tribal Union Army was only a few meters away from the Empire's spearmen, a howl reverberated across the battlefield.
*Dum-doo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo~*
The war horn sounded again, but this time it was different. The spearmen immediately turned around for a second, and warriors with huge tower shields squeezed through the gaps.
A row of warriors with tower shields under two meters tall appeared in front of the spearmen in the blink of an eye. The tower shields faced the enemy, and spears and halberds stuck out between the cracks in the tower shields.
Immediately after, the two armies clashed with each other. The orcs, the 'cannon fodder', the very first rank of the Tribal Alliance army, were pierced by spears and halberds, and their blood instantly dyed the ground red.
The sounds of flesh being torn apart began to resound endlessly, as did the screams. If a weak-willed person was on this battlefield, just hearing these sounds would drive them crazy.
Judging from the first skirmish, it was obvious that the empire's army had the advantage, but the union had noticeably more warriors.
The continuous clang of weapons, flesh being torn apart, blood pouring out, and screams rising to the sky resounded endlessly on this battlefield. In fact, this place was more like purgatory right now, without an ounce of humanity, empathy, or pity.
Everyone only wanted to defeat and kill their opponent.
After two minutes, the warriors with tower shields slowly began to give up their positions, and in most places, they were simply swept away by the endless waves..
Immediately after, the already chaotic battle began.
Su Xiao, who was in the middle of the imperial army, didn't even see the enemy. There were too many people on both sides, and he wouldn't even be able to advance for a while yet.
*Whew~*
There was a sudden howl of wind above Su Xiao's head, and he immediately lay down. Considering that this was the most dangerous battlefield, hearing such a howl above his head, staying still wasn't the best idea.
A green glass barrel the size of a meter with a fig tree landed a hundred meters away from Su Xiao. It immediately shattered into pieces as soon as it touched the ground, and green flames immediately began to spread out in all directions.
*F-f-f-f-f~*
Everywhere that green fire passed, only ash remained, and the ground turned to glass. There wasn't even a piece of flesh left of ordinary warriors.
After clearing about ten meters around the landing point, the green fire dispersed.
What was left on the ground was an oval glass surface with a diameter of about ten meters, and about three meters from the end of this zone were armor and weapons, and sometimes you could see meat with iron fused into it.
Su Xiao immediately stood up, and a kobold with a scimitar covered in blood rushed towards him while shouting loudly.
He finally saw the enemy.
Su Xiao took a step forward, and the Dragon Flash in his hand immediately flashed. The scimitar in the kobold's hand was chopped into pieces, while the kobold itself was split open.
He died in a split second.
[You killed an infantryman Low-level Tribal Alliance: Kobold.
You have received 10 Paradise coins.]
[Your Soul Eater talent has been activated and your mana pool has been increased by 6 poons...]
According to the first notification, his talent limit of 200 points per world would be used up in less than ten minutes, which was good news, because then he would start to recover significantly more mana and health..
[Talent Effect (Passive): After killing a creature, the owner of the talent will permanently increase their mana limit by a value from 1 to 30 units and restore the same amount of mana and health (for example, if the owner of this talent increases their mana pool by 30 units, they will also restore 30 units of their mana and health).
Reminder: In each derived world, you can get up to 200 Mana points. If the limit is reached, this talent will still count the amount of stolen mana when successfully killing an enemy and restore 50% more mana and health from the calculated value (this effect will only start working after the talent owner reaches the limit in increasing their mana pool).]
As soon as Su Xiao killed the kobold, he immediately felt a dozen unkind eyes on him.
— The enemy general is here, kill him!
A dozen orcs immediately rushed towards Su Xiao, while the warriors next to Su Xiao subconsciously started to stay away from Su Xiao.
In fact, this was the most common way to increase the chances of survival on a battlefield like this.
Su Xiao kicked the orc's corpse away from his feet. He had never been involved in such a major medieval war. Although it was dangerous, it was also very pleasant. The strong smell of blood and screams stimulated his nerves, causing a smile to appear on his face.
