Finally, after blocking the eighteenth trident, the bone scythe, which was already covered in cracks, exploded with a deafening roar.
Uruto hurriedly turned to escape, but after only a few steps, he was riddled with holes by the pursuing metallic constructs and fell weakly into the depths of the sea.
In his last moments, he seemed to see hundreds of murlocs with bumps on their heads, like messengers in the shadows, lurking in the water, projecting their murderous weapons upwards.
The death of this half-snake hero was quickly known by a player named Mountainside.
His face looked ugly.
“Damn! My half-snake hero is dead!”
As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the other players also changed, and they looked at each other.
They seemed to realize that something was amiss.
The mist surrounding the peninsula became denser, and they could no longer see the specific battle situation from the high ground, only the outlines of the ruined town and wreckage in the vast whiteness.
At the same time, screams and howls suddenly came from inside, like the terrified screams before dying in the hands of demons in a horror movie.
It made people shiver and their hair stood on end.
The player who sent the forest barbarians had an especially ugly expression because among the screams were the unique cries of the forest barbarians, who were known for their aggression and bloodlust. They wouldn’t easily make such weak sounds.
Moreover, it wasn’t just one or two screams; it was one after another.
The screams of human soldiers, the fearful howls of werewolves, and the sharp tones of the murlocs, all echoed in succession in the white fog.
And a strange and unheard-of roar, like the sound of hell, reverberated among the ruins and floated throughout the peninsula.
A player swallowed hard and said, “1 think that player named Ji Chen might not be as easy to kill as we thought…”
“Yes, someone who has a kingdom-level bounty on them can’t be simple. Maybe we…”
“This fog might be something he created, which is not conducive to our battle…”
Listening to the words of others who were starting to have doubts, Wu Lun’s face became extremely gloomy, cursing inwardly.
These were a bunch of greedy cowards who only saw their own interests and wanted to retreat when they encountered a little difficulty!
You guys, don’t be anxious. I’m more anxious than you!
At this moment, he still had to rely on the strength of these players, so Wu Lun gritted his teeth and endured his impatience.
“Don’t forget that we have two full armies with tens of thousands of troops in terms of numbers, which should be enough to crush him. And the commanders of my werewolf army and the forest barbarian army are both green elite-tier heroes with strong combat power.
Do you think Ji Chen, no matter how powerful he is, can take on this army and these two heroes?”
With these words, the other players regained some confidence, their faces showing less worry as they spoke.
“Yes, the combat power of a green elite-tier hero is equivalent to a whole battalion. We don’t need to worry too much.”
After stabilizing the troops with words for the time being, Wu Lun breathed a sigh of relief and turned his gaze back to the abandoned town.
Regardless, he must kill Ji Chen and claim that bounty!
Otherwise, all his troops would have died in vain!
The chieftain of the forest barbarians exerted all his strength to block the massive cleave, and with this force, he retreated more than ten meters. However, he couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of blood as he looked at the axe covered in cracks and the serpent-tailed monster taller than him with a horrified expression.
Damn it, how could the combat power of these monsters be so strong!?
Especially the one in front of him.
The strength he was proud of was completely ineffective in front of this monster, even suppressed. Whether it was strength, speed, endurance, or explosive power, he had no advantage whatsoever.
He was a green elite-tier hero, and also the strongest warrior in the tribe!
The pair of bone blades, sharper and harder than metal, and the wound that ran across half of his chest, almost cutting him in two, were the best evidence of this.
Damn it, this must be the enemy’s most powerful hero!
The chieftain, enduring the pain coming from all over his body, hoarsely questioned, “What the hell are you!?”
However, the serpent-tailed monster did not speak, only gazing at him with cruel coldness, revealing two rows of razor-sharp teeth in its mouth.
The powerful snake tail suddenly leaped out, and the twin blades swung.
Following the sound of ripping fabric, a head as large as a fighting rooster was propelled high into the air, and a geyser of blood spouted into the sky.
A chieftain of the forest barbarians who had once dominated a forest hastily ended his modest life.
“Ding- Naga Guardian Hero (Blue Excellent Tier) has killed the enemy Forest Barbarian Hero (Green Elite Tier).”
“Ding- Naga Guardian has killed the enemy Bloodthirsty Werewolf Hero (Green Elite Tier).”
Ji Chen glanced at the system notifications but wasn’t surprised.
The strongest hero units of these independent players were only green elite-tier, and there were several of these hero units within the Naga Legion alone. It was nothing remarkable.
However, a few of the enemy heroes had already been slain, and it seemed that there was no suspense left in this battle.
Seeing their own chieftain being killed by the enemy, and their comrades being harvested like wheat, it was the forest barbarians who first collapsed, desperately wanting to retreat.
But the many friendly forces that previously gave them a sense of security had now become obstacles to their retreat.
Due to their large numbers and the fog, only the front part of the army was engaged in combat with the Naga Legion. Most of them had not even seen what the enemy looked like and were simply following their comrades subconsciously, pushing forward in the complex ruins and muddy paths full of obstacles.
The forest barbarians watched as their comrades continued to move forward, pushing them toward the direction of death. They became anxious, and the violent and chaotic elements coursing through their blood made these physically strong but simple-minded barbarians raise their axes and swing them at their comrades.
The attacked comrades were stunned, their eyes suddenly turning red, and their anger surged.
They didn’t originally belong to the same territory, and coming together was only at the lord’s command. Being suddenly attacked was naturally something they couldn’t tolerate, so they immediately picked up their weapons and fought back.
In the small abandoned town, a miraculous scene unfolded where allies were fighting allies.
When Ji Chen received this news from the rear, it was as if a thousand question marks had appeared in his mind.
They suddenly started fighting each other in the middle of the battle. What kind of operation was this?
Even though he was filled with a thousand puzzlements, Jichen immediately said, “Let the remaining Naga Guardians join the battle and annihilate the enemy.
The Dragonblood Legion will deal with the enemies in the sea, then flank the enemy on both sides and use ranged attacks to damage the backline and squish as much as possible.”
Since they already chased them this far, they had to make them bleed heavily and pay a price.
The massive front army was suddenly thrown into chaos due to the forest barbarians’ “betrayal.” Some units had no idea what was going on and had their heads chopped off, while others, driven to madness, swung their weapons crazily, as if these barbarians were their real enemies.
However, the Naga Legion didn’t understand the concept of chivalry or martial virtue. They charged headlong into the midst of the enemy.
At this moment, life became the most worthless thing.
These armies that players had high hopes for had no units that could withstand the sharpness of the bone blades. The Naga Guardians transformed into harbingers of hell, reaping lives with the power called slaughter.
Several white common-grade, green elite-grade, and blue excellent-grade heroes among the Naga Guardians played a significant role in this chaotic battle.
In the absence of the leadership of Herarld and Ji Chen on the frontline, they were able to organize and command the other ordinary Naga Guardians effectively. They formed attack squads, pinpointing the weak points in the enemy’s defense lines and penetrating fiercely.
Despite being in the midst of chaos, they appeared highly organized.
In contrast, this ragtag army of twenty thousand, after the forest barbarians’ betrayal, completely lost its organization and descended into chaos.
The front lines were slaughtered savagely, cries and blood filled the air; the middle ranks watched their comrades being killed with anxious helplessness, unable to break through the numerous ruins to provide support; the ranged forces in the rear were blocked by the fog, lacking both visibility and accurate targeting coordinates.
Of course, expecting these players to be as extravagant as Ji Chen by incorporating hero units into their armies to serve as middle forces and commanders was a difficult task.
Seeing the continuous notifications of unit deaths from the system, the players on the high ground could no longer sit still..
