Beneath the Red Dragon-Chapter 218 - 84: Soul Returns to the Holy Hall (Part 2)
The Elf Druids transformed into the forms of beasts, jungle leopards, forest wild boars, eagles, hawks, and various wild beasts followed behind the War Ancient Trees.
More Elf Warriors flickered in and out of the jungle, rushing towards the forward camp.
The sharp whistle echoed through the forward camp as the Dogman Warriors on watch noticed the disturbance in the forest. At that moment, it seemed the entire forest was filled with malice towards them, piercing to the bone.
In the camp, the Jackal Wolfman Warriors hurriedly donned their iron armor and picked up their shields and weapons under the call of the Jackal Wolfman Barbarian Captain.
Boom, the next moment, the entire barrier covering the camp shattered like broken glass, with shattered energy flying everywhere.
The jungle outside came alive at that moment, with over a dozen towering War Ancient Trees pulling up their roots and stepping out of the forest. They swung their thick branches, fiercely striking down at the camp gate.
The gate, comprised of wooden bars tied together, was instantly shattered to pieces by the branches of the War Tree-men, along with the watchtower beside it, also snapped by other War Tree-men.
Bam,
A War Tree-man stepped into the camp, swinging its massive branches down on the swarming Jackal Wolfman Warriors.
The Jackal Wolfman Warriors immediately raised their shields to resist, but the strength and size of the War Tree-men vastly exceeded those of the Jackal Wolfman, their power described as unparalleled. The thick branches struck the wooden tower shields, sending both the shield and the Jackal Wolfman flying together. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎
The tower shields in the hands of the Jackal Wolfmen in direct confrontation were all snapped in half, sending the Jackal Wolfman Warriors behind the shields flying out with blood vomiting from their mouths.
In just a moment, casualties among the camp warriors reached over a dozen.
"Courting death, you damned wood,"
The Jackal Wolfman Captain's blood-red eyes surged with veins. He dropped his tower shield, erupting with power, darted quickly, and his long spear, carrying immense force, smashed directly into the face of the War Tree-man, embedding deeply into its massive trunk.
The face of the War Tree-men, though their weak point, is not fatal. With a roar of pain and anger, the massive body of the Tree-man swayed, and its branches whipped the Jackal Wolfman Captain away.
Fortunately, the iron armor on the Jackal Wolfman's body provided some protection, preventing the Jackal Wolfman Captain from being severely injured.
The other Jackal Wolfmen swarmed forward, cutting down the branches of this War Tree-man. Their long spears pierced deeply into the Tree-man's heart, and in no time, the Tree-man fell with a roar, its heavy body crashing onto the ground.
Yet more Tree-men were charging into the camp, while Magic Radiance of casters began to rise on the bodies of the Jackal Wolfman Warriors. They lunged at each other, with blood and tree sap splattering instantly.
A few enormous War Tree-men joined forces to push the entire camp's walls to the brink of collapse, and the walls of the camp emitted a teeth-grating friction sound.
Boom, finally, the entire forward camp's walls buckled under the weight and were pushed down by several towering War Tree-men, and more War Tree-men stepped into the camp.
Meanwhile, the Elf Archers also shot their deadly arrows from the War Ancient Trees, poisoned arrows potent enough to take down a giant elephant.
However, the Jackal Wolfman Warriors' full-body iron armor and face armor left them with no weaknesses, forcing the archers to target the barking, approaching Dogman Soldiers instead.
Swish, swish, swish, arrows rained down like a storm, but on the Dogman Soldiers, they suddenly deflected as if encountering some mysterious force field capable of altering their trajectory.
At this moment, the Mages remaining in the camp finally acted, casting Arrow Protection Skill over the soldiers.
The short Dogman Soldiers were as insignificant as ants before the towering War Tree-men. Each Dogman was swept away by the branches like rag dolls, their frail bodies crumpling on the ground, unable to move.
Yet more Dogman Soldiers barked madly, jumping onto the War Tree-men, slashing open the resilient bark with short knives and short spears, then biting into the Tree-man's body.
These weak fighting Dogman Soldiers clung to the bodies of the War Tree-men like ants, crawling all over.
Additionally, some Dogman throwers hid in the corners and rooftops of the camp's barracks, throwing their short spears at the Elf Archers standing on the War Tree-men.
Swish, swish, swish,
Dense short spears struck unprepared Elf Archers one by one, sending them tumbling down, as the swarming Dogman Soldiers beneath tore them to pieces in an instant.
However, several times the number of Elf Warriors compared to the Dogman appeared on the battlefield. Though dressed in leather armor, each Elf Warrior's combat power far exceeded the Dogman Soldiers several fold.
They effortlessly dispatched the lunging Dogmen, their weapons soaked in Dogman blood.
Swish, a team of Jackal Wolfman Warriors dodged the strikes of the War Tree-men and charged into the group of Elf Warriors, believing these elves were the manipulators of the Tree-men, and if killed, the Tree-men would naturally retreat.
Clang, clang, clang,
In iron armor, the Jackal Wolfmen faced the War Tree-men more to add up numbers, but that was because the Tree-men's individual power was sufficiently strong and their weaknesses not obvious.
However, against these Elf Warriors, the Jackal Wolfman Warriors were war machines without weaknesses. Their iron armor allowed them to charge into the Elf Warriors' formation fearlessly, with the elf weapons unable to breach the armor's defense.
