Chapter 179 Soldier
Chapter 179 Soldier
On the other side, on the eastern wall of Lei Shi City, near the staircase.
On the narrow battlefield, the sound of weapons clashing was endless, and the roar of artillery fire was deafening.
A huge axe that was almost stained with blood swept across the two soldiers who were raising their shields and rushing forward, instantly cutting them off at the waist along with their shields.
Their torsos fell, their internal organs were exposed, and blood splattered, forming two pools of glaring red.
At this moment, the smell of blood in the air seemed to be thicker, making people suffocate.
"Crack"
A hairy paw stepped on the blood, making a sound that was barely audible on this battlefield.
The orc holding a huge axe in both hands stepped on one of the men's head unscrupulously.
With a grin, he slowly applied weight.
The shrill screams from the soldiers who did not die immediately reached everyone's ears. They were still clear and frightening in the noisy battlefield.
This vicious orc is breaking down the soldiers' psychological defenses in the most cruel way that can be seen on the battlefield.
The soldiers were not cowardly, and their fighting skills and coordination were among the best among the standing garrisons of ordinary kingdoms.
But they were not the veterans stationed in the border fortresses who had experienced the baptism of blood and death for many years - the most brutal battle they had experienced was the suppression of the Blood Gang in the South District a few months ago.
After all, they are just a group of ordinary people who are soldiers by profession, receive salaries and do their jobs.
Even after suffering more than 30% casualties and seeing his comrades in such a miserable state, he was still able to hold on to his shield tightly and maintain the front line.
Instead of running away in panic, it is already not easy.
"Clap"
With two noises, two arrows flew over the shield wall built by the soldiers, over the half-elf who was half-kneeling on the ground, and headed straight for the orcs opposite.
Unfortunately, due to excessive tension, one arrow missed the target, while the other was bounced off the leather armor of the leading orc.
Ordinary arrows and projectiles can hardly penetrate armor that has been strengthened by bronze-level battle breath, especially when the opponent is an upper bronze.
The orcs are still moving forward.
Every time this devil-like figure from hell took a step forward, the shield-wielding soldiers had to retreat half a step.
They have no chance of winning.
There was only one person, just an officer standing between the orcs and the soldiers.
He did not retreat behind the shield guards, nor even with the soldiers.
"Back off! Don't come any closer!"
"Set up the gun array!"
Even though he knew that this would not have much effect on the three bronze-level elite orc warriors.
William stood up again. His dominant hand was bent at a strange angle, his arm bones were broken, and several fingers were twisted beyond recognition. The magic sword was held in his left hand which originally held the shield.
His body was covered with wounds of varying sizes, and bleeding.
Those were the scars left on more than twenty orcs when he sent them to where they should go.
The warm light of Shuma was slowly repairing the wound.
That was the result that two brave soldiers had fought for him, but at this moment even the fourth-level magic treatment seemed insufficient.
William could feel his body becoming increasingly weak, which was a symptom of excessive blood loss.
The amount probably exceeds 1/3 of the total body volume.
If it were an ordinary person or soldier, they would have gone into shock or even been in danger of their lives. Only bronze-level professionals could still be so lively.
Retreat is the right choice.
His body was telling him so.
And in fact, it is true. As long as he recovers completely, no, as long as his injuries are healed and half of his magic power is recovered.
He is very confident that he can turn the tide of the battle.
But the other party obviously would not give him any chance or possibility of escape.
The soldiers behind them couldn't stop them, and if they ran away now, it would be tantamount to pushing the soldiers into the abyss of death.
""Deputy Commander of the Drow Legion!"
One of the soldiers holding up his shield called out to William anxiously, but received no response from the other side.
The soldiers knew their officers were exhausted.
"When I chose this job, why did I think it was an easy and good job..."
William took a deep breath and focused himself a little.
On the other hand, the orcs on the other side have begun to advance.
He pulled the tomahawk back with both hands.
With a few heavy steps, he appeared in front of William almost instantly, and the giant axe fell suddenly!
Suddenly, William moved before the giant axe could be swung!
He turned sideways, took a step forward, and dodged the axe blade that was exploding in the air from the left, like a nimble cheetah.
"when!"
The huge force and fighting spirit of the axe blade smashed into the stone bricks of the city wall, and the broken stones flew everywhere, leaving a shocking stone pit.
Before the orc could pull back his axe, William took the next step and jumped high.
A silver-white line pointed out from his original position, and a one-handed sword passed over the leading orc and stabbed out from his side, aiming at the chest where William had just stood to avoid the giant axe!
If it had hit the target, this sword would have been enough to kill the half-elf officer.
But whether in terms of combat skills, speed, or even the use of battle rest, William is one step ahead of the orcs who attacked later.
However, before he landed on the ground, there was a strong sound of wind beside him, and a fine iron hammer with flesh on it came hitting him horizontally!
The three elite orcs did not underestimate this seriously injured prey with no way to escape.
United, attempting to kill William in one fell swoop.
The third elite orc was hiding behind his companions, waiting for this opportunity.
