Chapter 711: Battle of the Behemoths (I)
While Henry's party and the adventure party were deep behind enemy lines, the large forces on the other side were also trying to advance along the road in the direction of the temple. The brutality of this magical war far exceeded all expectations, with several warriors falling at almost every step forward, and even with a large number of priests and druids healing and mage corps covering, it was not possible to reduce casualties.
Only more than forty minutes have passed since the launch, more than one hundred and eighty brave barbarians alone have fallen, more than two hundred elven soldiers have fallen into madness, and nearly one-third of the knights have been killed, and the golems that have always been on the front line are even worse, more than thirty have been completely scrapped, and more than a dozen are incomplete, but they are barely able to move.
As for the caster's condition, both the priest and the druid have decent melee abilities, plus they are not on the front line, so there are almost no casualties. The masked mages were a little more miserable, having been attacked by stealthy demons and beasts not long ago, and about twenty mages who didn't have time to react died on the spot, and three or four guys were slightly injured.
After learning this lesson, they did not hesitate to take out the anti-stealth magic device, and now as long as an invisible creature is close to the alignment, it will immediately appear within twenty meters.
The battle ahead continues to devour fresh lives, whether it is monsters or humans and elves, there is no difference in the face of terrifying magic, only the order of death is different, but in the end, they all die, and only a very few strong and lucky enough guys can barely survive.
As the leader of all the barbarians, Vaughn, the half-orc warrior, is clearly one of them. He couldn't remember how long he had been fighting, how many enemies he had killed, how many of his comrades had changed, and his mind was filled with a thirst for killing. He swung his sword and sword as hard as he could. The whole body was still covered in plasma and minced meat. There was also a half-cut intestine hanging from the armor. It looks unusually hideous and terrifying.
The powerful magical two-handed sword "Giant Slayer" finally showed its most terrifying side today. Whether it was the restraint of fire and strong acid on trolls, the damage bonus against giants, or the increase in wielder's strength, they all left a deep impression on the enemy, especially those sub-giants who were numerous, and their legs trembled involuntarily at the sight of this weapon that flashed crimson magical aura.
"Whew! Call! Whew...... Vaughn breathed violently with his mouth open, forcing oxygen to enter his lungs more and faster so that his muscles could gain more strength.
Such a high-intensity battle is simply beyond imagination. Even he, a warrior who stepped into the realm of legends, was a little overwhelmed, and the dragon scale armor on his body was cut twice, which was left over from the battle of the same hill giant leader. If it weren't for the special ability of rapid healing to stop the blood loss in time, I am afraid that I would have entered the disabled camp at the rear of the team by now.
But this situation did not last long, because more than 60 percent of the fighters in the team had lost their strength in different ways, and there was no manpower to rotate if they did not stop and rest for a while.
"Damn! My old bones are falling apart! Why don't you stop and rest? Bruno grumbled out of breath as he slammed his shield into an ogre's stick.
"Hahahaha! Dwarves, you have to be more athletic, or you'll be as fat as Regis in a long time. Wolfgar teased his friend as he threw his weapon out with all his might. Instantly opened the ogre's head.
The surrounding monsters found that the barbarian warrior had no weapon in his hand, and rushed up with a sinister smile to take advantage. But a second later, the legendary hammer returned to his hand of its own accord, and a bloody storm followed. Before many guys with unresponsive brains could react to what was going on, their heads had already turned into rotten watermelons.
The crowning achievement of the life of the dwarven master blacksmith Bruno, the weapon known as the "Tooth of Aegis" is blessed with powerful magic, and when it flies out, the wielder can return to his hand with a single thought.
However, since during the casting process, Bruno decided to give this weapon to Wolfgar and incorporated this obsession into it, so only he could exert the maximum power. In the hands of others, this is nothing more than a slightly more powerful magical warhammer, far from the level of a legendary weapon.
Trist quickly swung two magic scimitars to show off the most perfect dance of death in the world, and any enemy who dared to approach would feel a chill in the neck before ...... No more, because in a few seconds they would find that their throats were desperately bleeding out, and then they would die from not being able to breathe.
The Dark Elf Ranger wasn't much better at this point. As an elf, his body itself is not as durable as that of dwarves and barbarians, and if it weren't for the guilt of the surface elves, he wouldn't have been able to hold on to it at all.
Suddenly, everyone in front of them felt a slight tremor in the ground, followed by a loud rumbling sound. I saw a ten-meter-tall behemoth appear directly in front of me a hundred meters away. It had two legs thicker than a stone pillar and four arms, and its gray skin was covered with thick, hard armor that looked like raised spikes, and its head was sunk in the middle of burly shoulders.
There is no doubt that this guy definitely weighs more than ten tons, and each foot that lands will bring up a lot of dust and vibrations, even if the hill giant can't dodge, he will be directly knocked out.
The indescribable shock has surpassed the dragon in a certain way. At least most dragons don't have such terrifying strength, and it is estimated that once they are caught by those four large hands, they will be slapped into meatloaf.
"Be careful!!!!! That's a multi-armed giant!! Everyone, get out of the way!! A masked mage recognized the monster and immediately blessed himself with a "telephantom technique" to inform the whole army.
Vaughn didn't care to continue fighting, and hurriedly shouted at the top of his voice: "Ares! Come here! You are needed here! ”
"Roar !!!!" The large brown bear on the side of the team heard the call and responded with a low roar. It didn't hesitate to go on a rampage, pushing at least six or seven golems off the guardrail. It didn't take long for them to come to the side of the orc warrior.
"Old man. We need your help now. See that multi-armed giant? Go kill him. As he spoke, Vaughn gestured to the rapidly approaching behemoth.
Iris looked up and looked at his opponent with those bulb-like eyes. A low, rapid roar erupted. Obviously, it felt a strength comparable to its own from the multi-armed giant, and immediately erupted with a strong battle intent.
"Yes, that's right. Go ahead, you can do it. Vaughn was excited when he saw the big brown bear, and patted it on the neck encouragingly.
As soon as the words fell, Ares, who had long been unable to hold back, rushed straight ahead like a heavy roller, and all the monsters along the way did not dare to stop him. Directly let go of a road more than ten meters wide, allowing the two powerful giant beasts to talk head-on.
Of course, there were a few sub-giants with poor brains who wanted to sneak attack, but when the stick hit the thick fur, they immediately felt a huge backlash, and immediately flew out of the fence and fell from a height of several thousand meters.
"Boom!"
With a loud bang, the twelve-meter-long, round giant bear crashed into the ten-meter-tall giant. The latter pressed his two hands against Ares's shoulders, and then the remaining two hands and two feet clung to the ground at the same time, and forced the force of the rapid charge to carry it down.
"Oh my God!! That guy actually caught the charge of such a big bear!! General Erhan had an expression of disbelief on his face.
But anyone who is not a fool knows. How powerful a legendary creature of size and weight like Ares would be when it burst into the air, and even the steel gates of a city would be knocked out of the way. But the giant in front of him easily followed.
"Roaring !!!!!" After failing to collide, Ares opened his mouth and let out an earth-shattering roar.
The multi-armed giant is not to be outdone. also replied with the loudest voice: "Roar!!!!!! ”
Their voices were almost like fourth-level magic "roars", and some monsters that were relatively close to the ground knelt on the ground and wailed in pain, leaving even a wisp of blood in their ears, which was obviously a crack in the periosteum.
Ares had never encountered such a powerful foe, and his eyes were filled with extreme excitement. Just when everyone thought they should pounce on it and bite it next, it made a surprise move. The twelve-meter-long brown bear suddenly stood up, as if to salute its opponent.
The multi-armed giant also felt this, and also thumped his chest hard, roaring angrily and asking for battle.
Both behemoths decided that only the other was worthy of being their opponents, and their roars rose higher and higher, as if they were waiting for their opponents to attack first.
When a barbarian warrior saw this, he excitedly shouted at Vaughn: "Chief, this is really a duel of honor, which side do you say the great god of war Tampas will bless?" ”
"Tampas believes in fair fighting, and he only rewards the winner after the winner is decided, and does not interfere with the process of fighting." Vaughn explained as he sat on the ground.
Now both sides of the battle have stopped all movements, quietly waiting for the multi-armed giant and the big brown bear to decide the winner. The weary human side began to seize the time to rest, while the commander nervously watched the situation change. They know very well how much damage such a behemoth can wreak in war, so they must be prepared.
Borken stared silently ahead for a few minutes, then whispered, "Let everyone be ready, and attack as soon as Ares shows defeat." It's Henry's animal companion, and there must be no accidents. ”
"Yes, but I don't think Ares will lose." After speaking, the corners of Debra's mouth turned up slightly, revealing a playful smile.
She had seen the invincible posture of the big brown bear when dealing with the Sawa Fishman, and even the legendary warrior Jacques Houas was no match, not to mention that the reason why the multi-armed giant was difficult to deal with was mainly due to the strength and sturdy carapace brought by its huge size, and it had no advantage in front of the equally powerful giant bear.
