Chapter 799 - The Blood Giant's Weakness
The Steel Net Formation was a type of response formation for a cavalry. It was a tactic that focused on breaking through Pike and Shield Formations. The cavalry’s two branches dragged steel chains from both sides. The impressive power from the rushing battle horses would crush the Shield and Pike Formation. In this situation however, it was mostly just being used to trap the Blood Giant’s movements. This way, this god level BOSS would have no choice but to take arrow and cannon shots.
In the midst of hoofbeats I could hear chains dragging against the floor, even while countless Xia Yu Army soldiers were dying. Nearly a hundred members of the cavalry wrapped each of their chains around the sides of the Blood Giant. Within moments they had him completely surrounded. “Pa, pa, pa!” The steel chains slapped against the giant’s legs. This immediately invoked the god level warrior’s rage. He threw a kick with his left leg, draining the health of several nearby horsemen. The BOSS’ kick dragged quite a few of the cavalrymen down. Around a dozen of them were instantly dragged off their horses. Screams rang out in the sky. The reality was that a tactic like this didn’t seem to affect a BOSS like Kehl very much.
……
At the Ba Huang Camp, Angela leapt onto her horse and pulled out her sword. “Battle Axe squad, follow my lead! We’ll target the Blood Giant’s heel and cut his Achilles’ tendon. Put as much strength as you can into this attack. We have to limit his movement!”
A group of horsemen followed their queen for the attack. They were unique in that each one carried a battle axe in their hands. Most battle axes had a wooden handle, making them lighter than steel blades like long blades or halberds. However, its center of gravity was centered around the blade, making it difficult to wield. Only someone with a lot of strength could fully utilize the weapon.
“Die!!”
The Blood Giant Kehl was already covered in blood, but his roars still shook the earth. Against the Ba Huang City squad, he didn’t feel a sliver of fear as he faced their blitz. He suddenly took a step forward and raised his fist. He threw a ferocious punch in a downward arc, right at the center of the crowd. A dozen of the horsemen at the front were instantly crushed. There weren’t even traces of their bodies left. This Blood Giant’s strength was enough to completely shatter human armor and weaponry.
“What kind of an attack is that?” The corner of Li Mu’s mouth twitched.
Wan Er carefully studied the BOSS and said, “Based on the system scanner, the second the Blood Giant attacks, the temperature around his fist increases to ten thousand degrees. That’s why all those around it disintegrated into ashes. Even their weapons were burnt away. I wonder what kind of damage that attack does to players….”
I clenched my teeth and said, “Wouldn’t they probably be immediately burned to death as well? That is, if they were instantly killed…”
Xing Lie walked up and said, “Boss, let’s wait it out for a bit, at least until the BOSS is close to dying!”
“Agreed!”
……
As such, all of the [Zhan Long] Steel Blade Horsemen and Mages alike focused on the Stone Skin Giants to farm achievement points. While we were fighting, we carefully kept an eye on the BOSS’ health bar. News that the Blood Giant Kehl had appeared had already spread to the other players. Some other guilds will probably arrive soon. As such, [Zhan Long] was very limited in terms of time. Now, it was all up to Angela, Theodore, and the other NPCs to work hard.
“Ka Cha!”
Angela’s sharp blade cut into the Blood Giant’s legs once again. She had struck a very thick tendon. If she managed to cut through it, the Blood Giant would lose his mobility. It was clear that Kehl specialized in close combat, unlike Lanais and the others. If his tendon was cut, then he’d probably be crippled. The only issue was that his skin was incredibly thick. Even after several attacks, no serious damage was dealt and the cuts were only skin deep.
The Ba Huang City Battle Axe Camp rushed at the BOSS in two different groups. One after another, the battle axes hacked the Blood Giant’s legs. Blood would spurt out, but even those attempts resulted in failure. Rather, the attacks only served to provoke more anger from the giant. He spun around and smashed his mace downward into the crowd, leaving only a splatter of blood in its wake. At least several hundred Battle Axe soldiers were instantly killed.
After several advances, even Angela had taken some damage. I could see that on one shoulder, her armor was dyed a crimson red from the cut she had. Thankfully she had not lost her [Dou Qi Armor]. The four thousand Battle Axe Camp was now left with less than a thousand. Even though the Blood Giant specialized in close combat, all of his attacks dealt AoE damage. Furthermore, they instantly killed NPCs with just one attack. This kind of strength was not something a team of normal players could handle.
Angela quickly retreated. She was visibly shaken. “Kehl is just too strong! Theodore, Owen, what are you waiting for? Send out your most elite teams! We have to bring Kehl’s head back to Tian Ling City, otherwise he will forever remain a worry for the empire!”
Theodore raised his sword and clenched his teeth. “I know! Fierce Wind Camp, charge! Let us try with the Black Steel Blades. We must kill this Blood Giant!”
Both the Flame Dragon Army and Xia Yu Army squads charged together. Thousands of soldiers dashed out from both banks. In the distance, countless Hybrid Demon boats were rushing towards us to provide support. Kehl was one of the Hybrid Demon Kings, and he was ranked tenth. I could just imagine how high his position was among the demons. Now that he was trapped here, it would be strange if the Hybrid Demon armies did nothing. Even Da Lun, Lanais, and Ignaus were probably shaking in their boots. They still needed this mighty Blood Giant to expand their territory and become their cannon fodder!
The war boats continued pressing on closer and closer. The Ba Huang City and Tian Ling City NPCs continued pouring hot oil into the water and set the oil on fire, preventing them from getting close to the battlefield. In the end, all of the Hybrid Demons on the boats died in hoards. Naturally, after this battle, the level of the NPC soldiers rose quite a bit. Hybrid Demons gave ample amounts of experience, and there was no need to worry about leveling up while killing them.
