Chapter 587 - 587 The Arrow Array
587 The Arrow Array
The Kobold army’s momentum was quickly thwarted by the swamp and the traps.
“No matter how many casualties there are, you have to pave a way out of this trap. These traps can’t stop my Kobold army. Second group, charge!”
With a cold expression, Gou Xiaotian waved its hand, ordering the second wave of soldiers to charge.
Although the valley was not small, the army of hundreds of thousands of soldiers couldn’t spread out. They could only split up but could not attack all at once.
The Kobolds were not afraid of casualties because their numbers were even more frightening. A mere hundred thousand or so of them would not be able to shake Gou Xiaotian’s determination to exterminate the Human army.
On the contrary, the Human race’s resistance had aroused the brutal and murderous intent in its heart even more. The killing intent it had for the Human army in the valley was unprecedentedly strong.
This was a situation where they had not even touched a single human, but more than 100,000 soldiers had died miserably. Even a massacre would not be so fast. It was almost beyond its knowledge, and it made it feel an inexplicable fear.
Since they had already become enemies, it could only use the most direct and swift means to kill them. It had to obliterate them without leaving any room for negotiation. Any hesitation could leave a huge hidden danger in the future.
No matter what it was, it had to slaughter this Human army.
Rumble!
The explosion of the Rune Bombs continued.
With each explosion, several or even more than a dozen Kobolds were blown away. They were either split into pieces or were severely injured on the spot, falling to the ground and never getting up. Under the trampling of their kind, they were directly trampled into meat paste, turning into a bloody mess.
As they advanced, a trail of flesh and blood was left behind.
Corpses paved the way, and blood rained everywhere.
The thick smell of blood had already begun to spread out and reverberate in the air. A layer of blood aura had already gathered into a cloud in the air, forming blood clouds.
It was condensed after the bloody murderous aura rushed up to the sky. It was as if countless ferocious faces could be seen in the blood clouds, constantly twisting and roaring silently.
“Only the Kobolds dare to do this. Corpses and bones are everywhere as they move forward. The casualties are too heavy. The Human race’s schemes and traps are truly terrifying. With the swamp around, they can’t retreat. They can only move forward.”
“However, this path of death has already come to an end. No matter how cunning the Human race is, they can’t bury the Rune Bombs near themselves. If the bombs explode too close to them, they’ll be greatly affected.”
In the darkness, many of the foreign races also looked serious.
It was only a trap. Although it was powerful, it couldn’t represent the true combat power of the Human army. One’s strength could only be estimated through actual combat. Only knowing how to use tools would not be of any fundamental help to one’s true strength. What they valued the most was the cultivation strength. Any tool might not be reliable.
Only strength could not be taken away by anyone else.
At the critical moment, one’s cultivation base and strength were what one truly relied on.
“Kill! Take revenge for our dead brothers!”
“Kill! Chop the humans into pieces! I want to eat their flesh and drink their blood!”
After charging through the death zone, the Kobolds revealed violent and bloodthirsty auras. Their faces were ferocious, and they waved the hammers, sabers, forks, and other strange weapons in their hands. They moved as if they were flying.
Their gazes were filled with ferocity. The killing intent in their chests was already gushing out uncontrollably.
They saw the Human race as their irreconcilable enemy. They wanted to kill them just as they pleased.
“Everyone, get ready. Load your crossbows. Target the Kobolds. Fire at will!” Zhao Yun’s eyes focused as he decisively gave the order.
The human warriors had an extremely deep understanding of the various combat techniques of the Purgatory Divine Crossbow. They had experienced it personally during their daily drills. They could adapt to various situations and react at the first moment.
In the blink of an eye, the crossbows were nocked and aimed at the Kobolds in the surroundings, ready to attack.
“Triple arrow array, three-section attack, fire at will!”
Zhao Yun ordered immediately when he saw that the Kobolds were within the shooting range.
Three-section attack, triple arrow array.
The three-section attack was easy to understand, but the triple arrow array was an array where three soldiers cooperated to form a defense. Their Qi dynamics were connected, and they could erupt with the greatest attack power. At the same time, it could also increase the recovery speed by three times. One person attacked, one person supported, and one person was on guard. This would ensure the greatest safety. Each time a shot was completed, it could be quickly rotated. Three soldiers would take turns continuously, and it would be a perfect combination.
This was a combat technique that Zhao Yun had specially researched for the Purgatory Divine Crossbow after reading all sorts of military tactics. Its effects were truly astonishing. It could ensure that the crossbow arrows would be continuously shot out during the battle.
It could cover all areas and launch the attack continuously.
As long as there were enough arrows, they could fire for several hours or even longer without stopping. They were like tens of thousands of human-shaped forts.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Arrows shot out like rain. Each arrow was filled with genuine Qi, and they tore through the sky with sharp shrieks.
In just a breath’s time, more than 100,000 crossbow arrows were shot out and fell on the incoming Kobolds.
Pfft! Pfft! Pfft…
The Kobolds’ movements were not clumsy. On the contrary, they were extremely agile. Many of the Kobolds saw the dense rain of arrows and subconsciously started to dodge. However, they were clearly not comparable to the speed of the crossbow arrows. The arrows contained the power of strong wind, which made the speed faster than bullets. The only sound that could be heard was the crisp sound of the arrows piercing through flesh.
Some of the Kobolds were even penetrated by the arrows. Their bodies were sent flying by the huge inertia and were nailed to the ground.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Consecutive shots! Consecutive shots!
With one shot, each warrior could instantly fire ten crossbow arrows which were as fast as lightning. After the arrow was shot, the second warrior beside him would immediately take over and shoot.
They fired again and again. The rain of arrows was like a storm, unceasingly killing.
The moment the Human warriors erupted, death was spreading across the entire battlefield.
The large group of Kobolds could not resist the dense rain of arrows at all. Their bodies were easily pierced through like grass. The berserk power destroyed their bodies crazily. Those who were hit in the vital parts died immediately, and those who were not were also seriously injured and on the verge of death. On such a battlefield, it was very difficult to survive.
The entire valley had turned into a bloody slaughterhouse.
“What a tyrannical arrow array! Three people in a group can shoot out arrows continuously without any flaws. There’s no room for any counterattacks.”
“What a domineering Purgatory Divine Crossbow! We have too few crossbow arrows in hand, but the humans seem to have as many as they want. The range of arrows is even further than the ones we have. The Purgatory Divine Crossbows in the Human race’s hands are much stronger than the ones they sold to us.”
