Chapter 135: Invincible Enemies
When the night shadows slowly entered their field of vision, the night elves almost suspected they were on the main battlefield.
The enemies on the opposite side were like a dark red ocean.
The half-man creatures blotted out the sky and covered the earth at the front.
A dark red blood giant that was rarely seen appeared on the main battlefield in the middle section!
They were a huge mountain of flesh over ten meters tall. Due to their massive bodies, their skin was rough and thick. When ordinary weapons or arrows hit their bodies, it was as if needles pricked them. The light force was so weak that a drop of blood could not be seen.
It was said that such colossal war monsters rarely appeared on the main battlefield.
As a result, that night, in that small outpost on the border of the flanks, there were probably hundreds of them pushing and shuffling in sight!
Also, the creatures ran wildly around the mountains, sometimes pulling their friends around and shoving them in their mouths.
The total number of enemies that appeared was at least 10,000!
“What happened?”
That thought appeared in the minds of all the night elves present.
But they did not have time to think about it.
The enemies in the front row had already run for thousands of meters.
The dozen night elves on guard quickly informed their companions who were resting in the stronghold. At the same time, they raised their longbows and nocked their arrows, aiming at the group that was running the most happily.
Rows of arrows flew out.
Below them were a few silver-white light arrows that were not solid.
When the arrows shot into the bodies of the half-human, tall creatures, they fell backward with them. At the same time, they would pass through the bodies of the enemies behind them and continue to pass through the lower body of the enemies before they could barely stop.
The creatures hit by the arrow were in so much pain that they cried out and rolled on the ground.
Some of the creatures died without making a sound and were scooped into their fast-moving companions’ mouths.
The flight path of the incorporeal light arrow was smoother than that of the regular arrows. Its effect and actual damage were also more terrifying. Once it entered its target, it would explode.
All creatures that came into contact with it would be blasted into pieces.
The power of the night elves was too terrifying. With just that one attack, the front end of the dark red ocean was left with a clear gap.
Apart from the enemies that died on the spot.
The enemies that ran past also slowed down.
Some even turned around and rushed to the gap to eat their fill.
It was obvious that the night elves were very clear about their enemy’s characteristics.
Those cannon fodders were bloodthirsty. As long as they produced some flesh and blood, they would be able to disrupt their formation.
That move had been tried and remained steadfast.
Dozens of piles of corpses could block the footsteps of hundreds of enemies. While they were eating, the night elves could kill them slowly.
It would not take long for the enemies to be eliminated from seven to eight hundred meters away.
Unfortunately, that night was different.
Dozens of piles of corpses stopped hundreds of enemies.
More enemies jumped over the left and right sides and continued to run toward the stronghold.
All the night elves who were still taking turns to rest had arrived.
Seeing the enemy’s large scale, they divided into two groups of about fifty. The first group kept firing arrows all the time, and when they ran out, they went back to get more rest, while the second group filled in the gaps to keep the firepower going.
The creatures were constantly struck by arrows and fell.
One hundred, two hundred.
One thousand, two thousand.
The crimson sea had nearly three thousand cannon fodder, barely advancing the 500-meter front line.
Even though the progress was slow, more than ten times as many cannon fodders followed behind the sea. It was as if there was an endless supply of cannon fodder.
Also, over a hundred tall and sturdy mountains of flesh had finally moved into the range of a thousand meters.
Even from a long way away, it was easy to see how big they were, which put a lot of pressure on the night elves and made them want to shoot arrows at the blood giants.
In that way, no matter how many arrows could kill a blood giant, it did not matter.
Even just talking about the scattered firepower, the approaching speed of the creatures running on the ground had increased.
A moment of carelessness.
The hundreds of creatures at the forefront had already rushed to a distance. The night elves could see the drool at the corners of their mouths.
For food, they were almost tireless.
They did not care about their injuries or tiredness and only thought about how good flesh and blood tasted.
The night elves quickly shifted their targets and aimed at the disgusting monsters in front of them.
As soon as the firepower changed, the blood giant in the distance started to move forward again.
With a single step, it covered a span of nearly ten meters. In a flash, it had moved almost a hundred meters.
The monsters of all sizes coordinated very well, making the night elves tired of fighting back.
Not long after.
The entire dark red sea pushed forward like layers of tidal waves, one after another, officially surging into the two hundred meters representing danger.
They could not hold on at that distance for more than a few minutes. Once they got close, even if the night elves could fight a hundred by themselves, they would still be drowned by the dark red sea.
The night elves in the stronghold looked exhausted at that moment.
However, no one backed down.
Even though they knew a catastrophe was coming that night, they still gritted their teeth and persevered.
Furthermore, they did not know if there was a particular tacit understanding.
The night elves standing in the front row shot fewer arrows.
More of them were non-physical light arrows.
Those light arrows seemed to be a tremendous burden on their bodies.
Every time they shot one, the light on their bodies would weaken a little.
That group of night elves shot light arrows without restraint, almost believing they would die.
Usually, the night elves at the back row would forcefully pull them away, only to find that their fingers were dripping with blood, and the silver light on their bodies was so weak that it almost disappeared.
But that wave of indiscriminate bombardment.
Miraculously, they cleared out all the enemies at close range. The entire tide ruthlessly beat off the dark red sea, and the front line retreated 500 meters back.
That wave took the lives of thousands of enemy cannon fodder.
Within a few hundred meters buffer zone, the night elves had already killed tens of times more enemies than themselves.
The dark red sea seemed stunned.
The advancing speed paused slightly.
The distant blood giant stopped in its tracks as if it was listening to something.
Seeing that, some night elves continued attacking with their arrows while the others seized the time to heal the injuries caused by the explosion.
It was unknown how long that fierce battle would last.
One more person meant one more point of contact.
The more combat power they had, the more time they could hold on.
They did not think of retreating.
They only wanted to do their best to hold on for the longest time and complete their mission of protecting their homeland.
Ahead.
A dark red mist appeared from a distance, even more significant than the blood giant.
The mist spread and soon covered all the enemies’ figures.
The night elves’ vision was dark red. Even if they shot arrows into the mist, they did not know if they would hit the enemy.
Only the occasional light arrows that flew into the mist could create a small void in the mist. Then, they would be immediately covered by the mist that surged around them.
Their field of vision was obstructed.
Their accuracy was significantly reduced.
The mist wrapped around the enemy’s figure and began to move forward again.
That time, no matter how many arrows were shot, the speed of the mist did not slow down.
500 meters, 400 meters, 300 meters.
The dark red mist was getting closer and closer.
The remaining night elves gritted their teeth and stood in a row. They decided to use light arrows again to repel the enemy at any cost.
A carpet plowed through the mist when the endless light arrows were fired.
The scene revealed inside brought only hopelessness.
It was empty.
The area around two hundred meters in front of the mist was empty. All the enemies were hiding outside that empty space.
It was an astonishing camouflage!
After that battle, not a single night elf could stand steadily.
They watched as the mist dispersed and closed, and it continued to spread unharmed. Finally, despair appeared on their faces.
They had not expected that their stupidity would be the one to defeat them in the end.
It was over.
The enemies who had come at that time were undefeatable.
They closed their eyes, put away their longbows, and drew their sharp swords, preparing to face the brutal hand-to-hand combat they had already anticipated.
Right at that moment.
