Chapter 127 - The End of A Bloody Battle (1/2)
While Shad was on the frontline, harvesting the lives of the Grey Horned Wolves with his red Lightning Scyte, Little Blue was on the back, biting them to death.
In the meantime, Mark, Gomez, Clyde, Nina, and the other generals of the Lightning Corps were in front of the defensive formation fighting alongside everyone.
”Everyone be careful! The Grey Horned Wolves have intelligence, they know how to attack weak spots. Do not let them break the formation!”
Gomez reminded everyone, his expression was grim as he circulated his mana and continued shooting some low-level magic spells. Gomez was a mage, not a warrior, so all he could do was to cast some low-level magic spell at the incoming Wolves. Even though he wasn't able to kill them in one shot just like the 4th imperial prince, he still managed to heavily injure them.
As for the others, they were armed with lances, bows, swords, and other long ranged weapons. They huddled within the defensive circle, preparing for the moment when the second waves of the Grey Horned Wolves drew close enough so they could kill them and defend themselves.
” They are coming again.”
Vivi grimly yelled as she held two magic scrolls on her hands which were emanating a powerful fiery magic power. Just like the others, Vivi had her strength suppressed as well, she was only able to cast low-level magic spells such as level one fireball which didn't contain enough power to kill a single grey horned wolf, as such, she only relied on her abundance magic scrolls to take them out.
The dozens of Grey Horned Wolves surged over at the same time, attacking from all four directions; Mark, Gwen, Nina, and Elano all infused energy into their weapons and waiting for the wolves. Even though they had their cultivation base suppressed by the Tower, they were still able to use their skills, though it wasn't as powerful as before.
Behind them, the others were either desperately shooting arrows or throwing their spears towards the wolf pack.
”Whoosh whoosh whoosh! Clap clap clap!”
”Awoooo!”
The Grey Horned Wolves powerfully howled as they charged at the defensive formation composed by Shad's group. Even under the barrage of arrows and spears, they weres still recklessly charging at them.
Each arrow and spear could only leave shallow cuts on the wolves' bodies and were unable to truly wound them.
Only Shad and Little Blue, as well as Vivi's magic scrolls, were able to cause the wolves to cry out in pain and kill them when they were hit, causing some of the wolves to avoid them in a panic.
The first wave of the Grey Horned Wolves' attack was unable to break through the defensive formation as Shad had gotten back in time and slaughtered them before they could cause any real damage. Taking the red lightning scythe wielded by him, and the powerful body of Little blue as well as its Lightning Blasts, the wolves hurriedly retreated, temporarily leaving the two's attack range in the first wave.
Which caused the first wave of the offense to end extremely quickly, and thus they were only able to leave a few wounds on some of on Shad's group before they were driven away.
However, they had gone all out on the second wave of attacks as they charged towards Mark and Gomez's group, leaving behind their most powerful comrades to take care of Shad and Little Blue.
” Damn, those damn wolves are really smart. They are focussing on attacking the side of the formation that has many mages instead of warriors because they knew they don't carry any weapons and also their attack power wasn't as strong as the warriors. Unlucky for you, this young lady always comes prepared.” Vivi said as she saw that there were a lot of wolves that were attacking the people on her side as well as Gomez's.
Furthermore, there were several mages who were injured. There were imperial soldiers with heavy injuries too, as such, she decided to go big. Vivi always believed in saving as many as soldiers possible in the battlefield. She didn't want to see anyone from her side die on the battlefield if she could save them.
She saw that the threat of the wolves was getting more fierce and some of the soldiers were on the brink of death. She quickly took out a powerful fire magic scroll which was called Fire Storm from her magic pouch. She looked at the in incoming wolves and threw it inside their pack.
