Chapter 764 – Unwavering Spirit (2/2)

……

In the distance, Xiao Lie quickly gave a signal, “Be careful, their next wave is here!”

In the darkness, we saw enormous figures sprinting across the landscape. There were at least a thousand Earth Giants coming at us, while the current Earth Giants before us only numbered around two hundred. The power behind this next wave of Hybrid Demons was truly terrifying.

“Careful!”

I raised my Zhen Yue Blade and stood at the center of the Shield Formation and shouted, “It looks like these Earth Giants have something in their hands!”

“What?” Han Yuan was stunned.

Xiao Lie squinted at the shadows in the distance. He then shuddered and said, “D*mm*t, they have boulders! These Giants want to smash our formation with boulders?”

I looked at the soldiers in the Shield Formation and said, “Use both hands to hold your shields. Make sure your bodies are completely covered by the shield. We have to hold off this next round of attacks! They won’t have too many boulders at hand. We just have to wait for them to use them all up!”

One after another, the soldiers in the Shield Formation looked up at me and shouted, “Yes Commander!”

……

I looked at the figures in the distance. The soldiers in the Royal Army were almost out of breath. Who knew how many more would die in this next wave of attacks? This was unavoidable. From the moment we set out on this mission, we were prepared for this kind of outcome.

“Hua!”

A strong gale rose up and a boulder that was at least a meter long flew at us from a distance and accelerated towards the formation! “Peng!” One of the Shield Formation Barbarian soldiers was thrown back into the second row of soldiers. This created a domino effect that impacted even the fourth row of soldiers. Only then was the boulder stopped. Several of the soldiers hit by the boulder spat out some blood. The impact was too forceful, even the Barbarians with their above average strength couldn’t stand against it.

Another two or three boulders flew at us from the sky. The soldiers in the cavalry camp were starting to lose hope. If even the Barbarians in the Shield Formation were pushed back by this force, then what would it do to humans? They’d probably be instantly crushed…

I stood before the human troops. One of the boulders was heading right for me!

A boulder hurled by a Level 146 Third Level Hybrid Demon. In reality, those monsters were nothing to me. I dipped forward on my battle horse and raised my Zhen Yue Blade with my left arm. “Keng!” the boulder was sliced cleanly in half by my Zhen Yue Blade, decreasing the force of the boulder. It slowly rolled into the grass behind me.

The Royal soldiers who were watching could barely close their mouths. Han Yuan stared in awe, “Her Highness Princess Pearl said that Commander has the strength of three armies. Looks like she wasn’t exaggerating. General is truly strong…”

It was possible that seeing me in action had boosted everyone’s morale. Xiao Lie rode on this wave of excitement and shouted, “Brothers, do not worry! Even though the Earth Giants are strong, they’re also stupid.Look, a lot of the boulders are being flung into the pile of dragon bones! Everyone, focus and prepare to battle!”

“Yes sir!”

……

It was just as Xiao Lie had said, the Earth Giants had terrible aim. Out of ten, at most one or two would actually hit the formation. The impact of that first boulder was just a coincidence. Once they faced us in close quarters, they could do nothing against the quick attacks from the Barbarians in the Shield Formation. One after another, the Earth Giants fell before the human troops. Xiao Lie and Huan Yuan lead a thousand Royal Army Cavalry out of the formation, killing everything in sight. Despite their victories, they suffered great losses. They retreated covered in injuries and blood. The casualties were terrifying.

Suddenly, a beautiful figure descended from the sky. Qing Luo raised her long sword and looked across the battlefield in the Dragon Graveyard. She let out a sigh, “And here I thought that these little princelings only knew how to hit on girls and blow empty air. Who would’ve thought… they would actually be able to fight so fiercely for Dragon City. Alright, Lord Dragon Knight, allow me and the two Silver Dragon Knights to take some of the pressure on the Royal Army!”

I nodded my consent. I cast a glance at the Royal Army’s formation. If I let them continue fighting like this against the Earth Giants, I was afraid that even if we won, we’d only have a few survivors left. Thankfully this wasn’t the main battlefield. If we were up against thousands of Hybrid Demon troops, we’d probably be completely annihilated.

The screech of dragons rang out in the sky. Qing Luo lead two other Silver Dragon Knights rushing from the sky. Dragon Breath unfurled onto the Earth Giant troops. Quite a few had been frozen and then crushed to pieces. Qing Luo unsheathed her swords and threw several slashes. That brat must’ve improved quite a bit from following Frost for so long. She’d actually reached the point where she could hold down three Hybrid Demons.

……

“D*mn…”

Xiao Lie looked up at the dragon knights, his eyes filled with awe and respect, “Are those the soldiers of Dragon City? Amazing… Truly amazing…”
