Chapter 305: Chapter 229: The Instructor’s Amazement, the New Clan’s High Score
THWIP! THWIP!
Arrows pierced cleanly through the heads and hearts of the Blood Slaves.
These Blood Slaves, serving as cannon fodder for the Blood Clan, hadn’t been powerful in life; they were simply ordinary humans converted after death.
They were being shot by Elf Soldiers from the current Elf Corps, who were at least at the Sixth Level. Even back in the winter when Zhang Yi first took in the Elf Clan, the Elf Archers could have killed these Blood Slaves with a Bow and Arrow.
Not to mention, empowered by the Effect of [Ancient Heaven], every Arrow was imbued with a Breaking Evil effect.
Targeted by Elf Archers of at least Sixth Level strength and Elf Snipers who were Seventh Level after their class change,
they drew their bows and loosed their arrows.
It was common for a single Arrow to pierce through three enemies at once!
The Vampire Commander behind the Blood-colored Teleportation Gate saw that an hour had passed. The dispatched Blood Slaves had been completely useless and had failed to create any sort of opening.
So, the Blood-colored Teleportation Gate began to vibrate again. As it grew larger, a new contingent of the Vampire Corps was dispatched.
This new contingent wasn’t made up of Blood Slaves converted from the bodies of ordinary people.
It was the Vampire Regular Army!
However, upon seeing the newly dispatched Vampire Corps,
both Zhang Yi, whose consciousness floated high above his Divine Realm,
and Elf Legion Commander Feiyana, who was directing the army on the ground, breathed a simultaneous sigh of relief.
They could sense that while the opposing Vampire Regular Army was well-organized and excellently equipped, their strength was only around the Third Level.
Against an enemy of this level, while it might not be a complete steamroll for the Elf Corps, it wasn’t far off.
What was truly crucial was the implication behind this move.
The opposing Vampire Commander was willing to probe them by sending out Vampire Corps of incrementally increasing strength.
While this was a cautious move,
it also bought Zhang Yi more time to endure the seven-day ordeal.
Elf Legion Commander Feiyana, naturally, had the same thought.
The battlefield isn’t a turn-based game.
Watching the Vampire Regular Army continuously stream out of the Teleportation Gate,
without any need for a command from Elf Legion Commander Feiyana, the Elf Archer commanders below gave their own orders.
A volley of arrows rained down from the sky, landing precisely among the Vampire Corps that were still assembling after exiting the Teleportation Gate.
The shield bearers in the front rank of the Vampire Regular Army raised their shields to block.
At the rear, the Vampire Mages who had just stepped through the Teleportation Gate hastily cast the Middle Level Spell, "Curtain of Corruption."
Just as these Vampire Mages thought the "Curtain of Corruption" they had cast could block the Elf Archers’ arrows,
the arrows, each imbued with a Light Effect, pierced through the blood-red, corrosive magical barrier and struck the armored Vampire Corps.
If their Armor blocked an Arrow, they were fine.
But if an Arrow shot by an Elf Archer wasn’t blocked and managed to pierce a weak point in the Armor,
or if it struck an unprotected area,
the point of impact would immediately let out a SIZZLING sound.
This was the sound of Light Power neutralizing Dark Power!
The Light Power imbued in every Arrow
was like poison to the Vampire Corps of the Dark Side!
Members of the Vampire Regular Army hit by these arrows often couldn’t endure the intense pain, screaming as they collapsed.
Black smoke billowed from their wounds as the Light Power invaded their bodies!
The Vampire Mages, who had initially been dismissive of the Elf Archers’ attacks, now wore grave expressions.
These Vampire Mages, who possessed a wealth of combat experience from invading several small and medium-sized Magic Planes, immediately switched to defensive types of Magic.
They switched from the gaseous, corrosive Defense Magic to a solid, physical one.
Seeing the opposing Vampire Mage Corps spring into action, the Elf Mage Corps, not to be outdone, began to cast their own Magic.
"Middle Level Spell—Touch of Nature!"
"Middle Level Spell—Rageful Growth!"
"Middle Level Spell—Life Absorption!"
Since the opposing Vampire Regular Army was not yet numerous, and its forces were still streaming continuously through the Teleportation Gate into the Divine Realm,
not many Elf Mages took action—only thirty.
However, even with just thirty Elf Mages of High Level Power, working in concert with the seeds that had already been sown and buried in the earth,
this wave of
three coordinated Middle Level Spells
was enough to disrupt the casting rhythm of the Vampire Mage Corps.
Many of the Vampire Mages, thanks to their formidable Spiritual Power, avoided being ensnared by the vines that sprouted from the ground—vines that glowed with a faint Holy Light, wrapping around their victims’ feet to absorb their Life Force.
However, because their casting rhythm was broken, more than half of them suffered from the backlash!
And so,
the first day of battle between the Vampire Corps and the Elf Corps continued with these methodical, mutual probes until nightfall.
For the Elf Corps, nightfall meant they were exhausted from a long day of fighting and needed to rotate their defenses.
But for the Vampire Corps, nightfall meant they were in their element!
However, perhaps the Vampire Commander believed they had merely discovered another relatively powerful Magic Plane,
and that there was still plenty of time for further exploration, so he wasn’t in a hurry.
As a result, the intensity of the attacks remained low throughout the night.
No incidents occurred, even when the Elf Corps rotated their guards.
It wasn’t until the second day, as dawn broke over the Divine Realm,
that a low horn blast echoed from behind the Blood-colored Teleportation Gate.
After losing over ten thousand Blood Slaves and nearly a thousand soldiers from the Vampire Regular Army,
