Chapter 586 - 586 Before the War
586 Before the War
A roar reverberated throughout the entire valley.
“Kill…”
“Charge! Let’s kill our way in and slaughter all these humans. Let all the races see the power of the Kobolds!”
“Kill! Kill! Kill!”
A large group of Kobolds at the edge of the valley immediately revealed a crazed expression and let out violent roars.
Countless Kobolds charged down crazily from all directions of the valley. They roared and swept over. The scene seemed to drown the entire valley.
“It has started!”
“I have a feeling that the humans won’t just sit around and wait for death. They must still have a trump card.”
“It’s good to let the Kobolds test the water!”
In the dark, many pairs of eyes were watching the battlefield.
No one was willing to miss such a great battle. By watching the battle, one could estimate the strength of both sides, which would be of great help in future battles.
“Get into formation!”
Boom!
The warriors who had been sitting on the ground suddenly stood up when they heard the order. Their movements were in sync. Even their posture and voice were almost the same. They made a loud boom in the air.
The aura was as if a giant had suddenly stood up, giving people the feeling of mountains collapsing and the earth splitting. In an instant, the overwhelming aura of the Kobolds was destroyed.
The army quickly got into formation.
Swords and spears were unsheathed, and bows were strung!
Their Qi dynamics were connected and formed a whole. No force could shake it.
There were all types of soldiers like sword-shield warriors, spearmen, archers, and so on. The moment the formation was completed, it gave people a feeling of invincibility.
“What a strong army! What a neat formation! I have long since heard that the Human army loves to train in these formations. Not to mention anything else, this aura really looks like it.”
“What’s the use of looking good on the surface? It’s useless. It’ll scatter easily.”
“Interesting. I hope the Human race can surprise me!”
The foreign races had different thoughts when they saw the battle formation of the Human race.
Some were disdainful, and some were looking forward to it.
All of them were focusing on the valley. They were paying attention to this great battle, afraid to miss a single detail.
Rumble…
The Kobolds’ charge was like a mountain flood, which was extremely fierce.
In the blink of an eye, they had rushed into the valley.
However, not long after they entered, some of the Kobolds felt that the ground beneath their feet was empty as if they had suddenly fallen into a quagmire.
When they lowered their heads, they were scared out of their wits.
“Swamp! There’s a swamp! I have fallen into the swamp. Quick, pull me up!”
There was a huge swamp hidden under the green grass.
The Kobolds naturally knew how terrifying the swamp was. This kind of swamp could kill silently. Once one was trapped and no one came to save them, one would be completely submerged in the swamp within a breath’s time. One would be swept into the depths of the swamp and could not climb out again. Eventually, one would die there.
Unfortunately, they subconsciously struggled a few times when they fell. But the more they struggled, the faster they fell. In the blink of an eye, only the heads could be seen, and there was no way to save them.
It wasn’t just one or two that fell, but dozens or even hundreds.
“There’s a swamp here too. Oh no, save me!”
The Kobolds attacked from all directions of the valley.
The valley was surrounded by a large number of swamps. They did not expect such a situation, so many Kobolds fell into the swamp.
In just a few breaths’ time, thousands of Kobolds had been devoured by the swamp.
Screams of pain and alarm rang out continuously, and the momentum of the charging Kobolds was instantly reduced by half.
“It turns out that there’s a swamp. No wonder these humans chose to set up camp in such a valley without any defenses. They knew there was a swamp around them and weren’t afraid of being attacked.”
“Good lord! This swamp isn’t naturally formed. It should be man-made, possibly by humans. I remember that there were no swamps here, and even a large number of wild beasts lived here, but now they have disappeared.”
“A group of swamps buried tens of thousands of Kobolds. This trap was indeed terrifying. Under the circumstances of high-speed running and the cover of weeds, no one can tell the difference at all. Once you are hit, you will sink into the swamp and step into death. At this time, no one will save them.”
“Humans only know how to use schemes and conspiracies. They use despicable means to harm others.”
The foreign races who saw this scene in the dark couldn’t help but gasp.
This was only the case for the Kobolds. If any other race were to make a move, they would lose more than half of their combat power in a short period once they entered the swamp area.
It was a terrifying death zone.
“Charge! Continue charging!”
This scene fell into Gou Xiaotian’s eyes, but it didn’t change its expression at all. With an incomparably cold expression, it continued to urge the Kobolds to charge.
The Kobolds brandished their sickles and advanced madly. Even if someone fell into the swamp, no one would come to their rescue because they couldn’t be saved. Under such circumstances, they could only move forward. A pause meant death. Saving people in the swamp was even more of a suicide mission.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
When they passed through the swamp of death, the ground under some Kobolds’ feet exploded. The power of ice and fire exploded in an instant, and the collision produced a destructive force that hit their bodies. The Kobolds within a radius of several feet were blown into pieces on the spot. Their flesh and blood flew everywhere.
Almost as soon as the first explosion sounded, a series of explosions followed.
Ice and fire flew everywhere. The poisonous gas and acid were the same color.
One could see some Kobolds turning into torches, while others were utterly sealed in ice. However, none of them could escape the bombardment of the power of annihilation. Their bodies were completely shattered and turned into fragments.
Some of the Kobolds were corroded by either poisonous gas or acid. They didn’t die immediately, but their bodies were corroded and deformed, causing them to let out miserable screams.
The scene was extremely terrifying.
“Rune Bomb! It’s the Rune Bomb of the Kingdom of Dawn. There was indeed an ambush. The humans had long prepared for this and planted Rune Bombs in advance.”
“So many bombs! The Kobolds at the front were almost blown to pieces. In just an instant, tens of thousands of soldiers were lost. This terrifying destructive power is a death zone. Before they even reached the battlefield, these traps caused them to lose no less than 100,000 soldiers.”
Countless foreign races were shocked by the dense Rune Bombs in the valley. They gasped on the spot and felt a chill in their hearts. This scene was too terrifying and shocking.
“Half of them will die before the battle even starts!” said Zhao Yun with a cold expression.
Both the swamp and the Rune Bombs were set up last night. It was all for this moment, to kill the enemy on a large scale by surprise and they immediately achieved great results.
