Chapter 493: Chapter 329: Fireworks Fill the Sky (Part 1)
No wonder she had been so crazy yesterday; this truly felt like the level of Tier Three Confusion and Enchantment. Either way, it was a good thing.
Su Qin was deeply shocked when she saw the Bonus for her Female Elves was just as high. "Zhao Chi, no wonder your Female Soldiers are so formidable. It turns out you actually have such a strong Ability. With this, their combat Efficiency and motivation are simply astonishing..."
Zhao Chi smiled. "Save the sighs for later and keep commanding. We should encounter the enemy very soon."
"Yes!" Su Qin answered earnestly, as if she were receiving an order.
Before long, the group charged out of the woods and arrived at a green meadow. A hundred meters away, they spotted several groups of massive blue creatures. Each one was nearly two meters tall. They were generally humanoid, with distinct facial features and limbs. However, they had a sharp horn on their noses, much like a rhinoceros. Tall and fat, their footsteps rumbled as they walked.
Zhao Chi found them very familiar, as if he had seen them before.
Gu Qing said softly, "My lord, they are Ogres. We’ve wiped out a few of them before."
That was right! When Penglai Village was first established, there was an Ogre camp nearby. At that time, there were 2 Ogre Warriors and 1 Cannibal Mage. But those Ogre Warriors were up to 2.2 meters tall, slightly larger than the ones before them. Moreover, there didn’t seem to be a Cannibal Mage among the group ahead. This made things a bit safer.
The Ogres ahead were besieging a sounder of wild boars. The wild boars were fighting back. Their sharp grunts echoed loudly as they lowered their heads and charged fiercely at the Ogres. If they were facing Humans, these wild boars’ charge could snap a person’s legs. But in front of the Ogres, they were like toys. A massive fist descended, knocking a wild boar unconscious with a single blow. Then, the Ogre casually lifted the beast, effortlessly tore it apart, and stuffed it into its mouth to chew heartily. Blood and bits of meat splattered everywhere.
Su Qin was shocked by the scene before her. "Zhao Chi, if I had encountered enemies of this Level before, I would definitely be extremely nervous. But now, I don’t feel a thing. Thank you for being by my side."
Zhao Chi wanted to tell her that this was entirely due to the Effect of high Morale. But he refrained from actually saying such a mood-ruining thing. Besides, with the battle imminent, there was no Time for idle chatter, so he simply responded with a smile. Having encountered the enemy, it was Time to fight immediately!
Zhao Chi immediately issued his orders:
"Su Qin, have your Elves initiate the Attack.
"Tang Ruan, lead the Spear Soldiers to form up behind the Elves. Wait for the Ogres to close the distance to thirty meters, then charge out and Thrust.
"Qi Yue, lead half of the Sword Soldiers and stand by on the right flank. As soon as Tang Ruan charges out, immediately surround them and Attack.
"Zhuang Ya, lead the other half of the Sword Soldiers on the left flank. Similarly, wait for Tang Ruan to strike, then flank and Attack from the left.
"Gu Qing, move freely. Provide assistance and support to everyone.
"Orders complete. Execute immediately!"
"Yes!" the five women answered in unison.
Su Qin commanded, "All Elf personnel, take two steps forward! Form a three-line Array centered around Li Zhu! Spread out!"
The Elf Female Hero Li Zhu stood in the center, while five hundred Female Elves quickly spread out, forming up on her left and right. Within a short Time of a few dozen seconds, the three-line horizontal Elf Array was fully formed, with each row containing 160 to 170 members. Although their formation wasn’t perfectly neat, it met the standard requirements.
At this moment, roars echoed from afar.
"ROAR—!"
"AWOOO—!"
"GRAAAH—RAWR!"
The Ogres spotted the enemies on their side and all turned their heads. Their massive, fat faces were hideous and terrifying.
The next second, the earth trembled.
THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD!
Four hundred fat, massive Ogres charged forward. Their thick legs were like stone pillars, leaving sunken footprints in the ground with every step. The muffled footsteps sounded like beating war drums, making everyone’s hearts pound in their chests. Dust and smoke billowed in the distance, sending flocks of birds scattering into the sky from the woods.
Su Qin swallowed a Spiritual Power Pill, raised her hand, and ordered, "Everyone nock your Arrows, aim at the enemy, Energy-Gathering Arrow!"
Multiple streams of light enveloped all the Female Elves. Red light gathered around their Bodies. As they drew their Bowstrings, the crimson glow concentrated on their Arrows. However, the Female Elves drew their Bows very slowly, as if the strings were too heavy to pull. Yet, they showed no signs of strain; the red light merely grew more concentrated. A few seconds later, the red light converged at the arrowheads, and the Elves’ arms trembled slightly. Over ten streams of light burst from the Female Hero Li Mei’s Body, providing further Enhancement to the Elves.
"Fire!" Su Qin shouted.
In an instant, the Arrows, laced with crimson light, were fired in unison.
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
An inexplicable, turbulent wind whipped up, sending the Female Soldiers’ long hair fluttering in the air.
SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!
Over five hundred Arrows traced red streams through the air, disappearing in a flash. The distance of a hundred meters was crossed in a single second.
THWACK! THWACK! THWACK!
The power of the Arrows was truly extraordinary. The Ogres’ bellies were at least a meter in diameter and packed with copious amounts of fat, which could slow down or even stop Arrows. However, these five hundred Arrows Pierced right through them, leaving fist-sized exit and entry wounds on the Ogres’ Bodies. Blood spurted wildly. What incredible Penetration Power!
"AWOO—!"
"AARRGH!!"
"GRAAAH!!"
The Ogres roared in pain, their cries shaking the heavens. But the fact that they could still scream so loudly seemed to indicate that their injuries weren’t severe. Soon, the bloody holes on their bodies were squeezed shut by their thick fat, and they stopped bleeding. Only a dozen or so who were hit in vital spots collapsed and died.
The remaining 380-plus Ogres howled in fury as they charged forward. Despite their massive size, their charging speed was surprisingly fast.
THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD!
With every step they took, a bit of blood oozed from their wounds, but for their sheer size, it was nothing.
Su Qin let out a soft sigh. The Energy-Gathering Arrow was her strongest Attack Skill, capable of dealing with Iron Armor without a problem. But now, it seemed its Effect against these obese Ogres was not very apparent.
Unless she could score a direct Headshot.
