Chapter 456 - 208 Blood and Flesh Mountains and Rivers_2
A dense wave of elite heavily armored soldiers surged forward from both sides of Lin Rui, charging towards the vast and overwhelming army of Green Skins. The soldiers on the distant city walls also leaped down like falling raindrops, merging into the chaotic skirmish, dispersing to follow behind the melee troops, shooting and advancing.
On the Obsidian Wall, there remained only a single vivid red figure, her red skirt fluttering in the wind, exhibiting unparalleled charm.
Unlike Wutong’s unmatched transcendental elegance, below the city wall ahead, her maid Lei’s fiery voice rang out, "This is too exhilarating! Too exhilarating! I can’t resist, I must join the battle!"
"Cassandra Comet!"
With Lei’s shout, a massive azure comet descended through the clouds like an angry dragon, crashing heavily into the dense formation of the Green Skins.
For a split second, the world seemed to pause.
Then, an intense shockwave swept out, a heavy tremor surging like a tidal wave, roaring like thunder, the sound of mountains and rivers shaking and collapsing echoed to the heavens. Thousands of flailing orcs were flung into the sky, helplessly waving their limbs, their rampant life force wiped out in an instant, reduced to arcane dust.
"Huh? I didn’t cough up blood?" Lei’s surprised voice sounded, "Is my equipment too strong, or are these orcs too weak?"
Lin Rui spread his fingers, and one after another Frost Spear shot out, countless Green Skins along the way were frozen into icy sculptures by this frosty spiritual energy, and as the path of frost exploded, Frost Blades sliced through the battlefield like a whirlwind, cutting through tens of thousands of Green Skins horrifyingly. Yet they stubbornly wore down all the frost shards with their flesh and blood, relying on sheer numbers to merely reduce their blood levels, unable to slaughter in large quantities.
Lin Rui immediately made a clear judgment on Lei’s question, it’s not because the equipment is too strong, nor because the orcs are too weak, but it’s due to the enormous scale of the enemy army.
With the comet impacting, thousands of creatures were hit, spanning dozens of types, ranging from Tier One to Super-Tier, this piecemeal rabble simply couldn’t form significant retaliatory damage.
This is the biggest flaw of the rabble, the elite units aren’t concentrated enough to form strong traits.
So Lin Rui shouted, "Everyone, unleash full power, bombard relentlessly!"
Galo then bent her bow like a full moon, arrows aimed to the sky, the next moment, countless arrows flew skyward, a multitude of arrows obscuring a large swath of the sky before plunging down in chaotic crossfire, embedding a field of bloodstained frost auras within miles in the Green Skin formation.
After a wave of arrow rain, bodies of Green Skins lay thick below the arrow array, the dead stacked one upon another.
And from the bodies of Green Skins rose one Heroic Spirit Level Star Warrior after another.
The chaotic battlefield above was filled with flying Spiritual Technique Missiles, while the battleground was ravaged repeatedly by Flaming Storms and frosty colds, the earth charred and cracked in one moment, then frozen and covered in frost the next. Then perhaps attacked by comets, rising upheavals, rocks flying chaotically.
With the battlefield so, the Green Skins were even more devastated, flesh and blood flying, countless Green Skins didn’t even know what was happening before they were thrown into the air by the violent spiritual techniques.
But the brutality of warfare far surpassed everyone’s expectations; these Green Skins formed no army, hence they seemed to lack morale.
They fiercely battled with the warriors of the Golden Pansy Clan. On this vast plain, they were exceptionally savage, unafraid of death, daring to charge at the clan’s forces even alone.
This plain had turned into ruin. Corpses scattered, soil wet, blood soaked every inch of air. The color was pure and heavy, both dark and bright. Smoke veiled the battlefield, the sky even rained blood.
Yet despite all this, neither side showed any intention of collapsing or pausing from night to dawn.
How long would it take to slaughter hundreds of thousands?
This time Lin Rui finally had a concept, the battle lasted for two days and nights!
But the Green Skins still densely covered the front.
Terion’s voice was hoarse as he found Lin Rui, who was drenched in blood, saying, "Lord, archers and mages have exhausted their spiritual energy three or four times. Everyone is fighting with splitting headaches, dragging tired bodies, yet we’ve only killed around two million Green Skins, with still over a million remaining ahead. I suspect it’s a Green-skinned Hero deliberately hiding behind to reorganize their army. We’re already at our limit, continuing like this might even lead to being surrounded by Green Skins."
Lin Rui didn’t have time to respond before an Eight-Tier Spider Shrine suddenly charged ferociously.
Even though the Imperial Guard raised their shields for defense at the first moment, they couldn’t withstand the Eight-Tier unit’s violent attack, being directly knocked flying by the fortress-sized giant monster.
Terrifyingly described as fortress-like, it’s absolutely not an exaggeration.
In terms of sheer horror, few monsters in realms of mortals can compare to the Arachnari Giant Spider. These massive arthropods are gigantic, towering over walls dozens of meters high, easily crushing enemy lines into bloody pulp. More fittingly, it carries an entire Green-skinned Warband on its back, on its platform, hunting net throwers are installed, which are filled with venom-soaked spider silk, attached with sharp fangs.
Lin Rui immediately pointed with his right hand, a dense shower of frost auras shot out from behind.
But even with Lin Rui’s terrifying output, these frost auras merely blasted a bloody pit on the Eight-Tier unit, filthy blood spraying across the sky. The monster enraged by pain rampaged wildly through the soldier’s formation.
Human elite soldiers faced this terrifying monster, over a hundred Black Banner Guard shouted, raised their guns, and bloody battled with the monster.
The monster rampaged wildly, yet only clanged against numerous Sub-Invincible Shields, both sides going back and forth, slashing the flesh and blood.
After intense battling for a long while, finally, a Tier Six Holy Grail Knight descended from the sky, landing directly on the monster’s head, a Holy Light-shining Longsword piercing through the monster’s skull, then amidst the fountain-like blood splashes, the Holy Grail Knight charged towards the Green-skinned Warband on the monster’s back, corpses raining down like raindrops.
After two days and nights of bloody warfare, only these Holy Grail Knights showed no sign of tiredness, still brimming with fighting spirit.
It took nearly half an hour before the soldiers finally chopped apart this horrifying Eight-Tier monster.
Lin Rui was again sprayed with filthy blood, he only had time to wipe the foul blood trickling before his eyes, didn’t even see the face of that Holy Grail Knight before they disappeared to another part of the battlefield.
But judging by the relatively petite figure, it might be Knight King Violet?
It’s really hard to imagine her tranquil personality, now blood-soaked in battle, mighty as a Demon God.
But even after slaughtering to such a blood-soaked extent, the Green Skins still surged endlessly.
When the count became vast enough, quantity itself became quality.
Moreover, among them existed also many Supreme Tier units. Precisely handling these Supreme Tier units made the battle particularly drawn-out and intense, fought for two whole days and nights.
Lin Rui took a deep breath, "The biggest issue now is the lack of spiritual energy, must rely on close combat soldiers using Blood and Flesh Mountains and Rivers to buy recovery time for the ranged soldiers and mages."
Galo approached, her snow-white chest and thighs splattered with smudge of blood, making her beauty appear somewhat bewitching.
"Lord, conventional recovery means are now fruitless. My commanded ranged troops have completely exhausted spiritual energy repeatedly, with everyone’s souls feeling fractured, to recover their state requires a very long time."
After a moment of silence, Galo said, "To break through we must take great risks."
