Chapter 67:39. Uncontrolled Fighting (2 in 1, please read it, don’t keep it)
"Edmund!" Dacun shouted.
Centurion Edmund, who was at the back, quickly ran to the outside of the three swords, knelt on one knee and bowed his head and said, "Sir!"
Dacun took off the Haderica from his neck. The red emblem on the Haderica was particularly dazzling under the moonlight. He threw the Haderica to Edmund.
Edmund caught Haderica and held it high in his hands.
"These five centuries are yours to command." Dacius smiled and continued, "The time has come to test your abilities. I hope you'll wear this Hadrica around your neck in the future."
The Cold Lizard Dread Riders behind Darkius became agitated upon hearing these words. The three Takia siblings also looked at each other in shock, as if they were silently exchanging opinions.
Edmund's hands holding Haderica began to tremble, and his body began to shake uncontrollably. He shouted at the top of his lungs, "I will live up to your expectations!" Then he stood up and ran towards the five centuries that were heading into the battlefield.
The two artillery crews also followed Edmund under the command of the Harvester Crossbow Captain, and the captain's mind became active at this moment.
Darkius waved his hand, and the Cold One Dreadriders began to follow him into the battlefield.
In the distance, two war hydras led by the high-level beast tamer Jaeger also entered the battlefield and headed straight for the gap. It was obvious that they wanted to open the gap by taking advantage of the number of snakes.
Daxus didn't join the battle directly. Even if he wanted to, there wasn't enough space on the battlefield. He led his team around the two-kilometer-long Black Ark and found no opening to launch an attack from below. He looked up at the nearly 60-meter-high Black Dragon's bow, then at the height of the Black Ark's deck. Blast a hole? No kidding! It would take a whole group of sorcerers working together with fire magic to blast through the black marble side covered in dark magic.
"This deck must be 30 meters high, right? The deck of an aircraft carrier is only 20 meters high, right?"
On the other side of the battlefield, Jaeger watched with worry as two new war hydras joined the battle. He didn't need to show any sympathy at all, as the two war hydras were directly enraged.
As the battle distance between the two war hydras got closer and closer, the ten snake heads would compete to spit out the brightest and hottest breath of flames. Two high-level dark sorceresses from the Hell's Scourge family worked together to release the Soul Stealing Technique. Dark tentacles appeared out of thin air and rolled outward, grabbing the War Hydra of the Heart Eater family. The black magic began to absorb the vitality of the War Hydra. Calien also ordered the other beast trainers to move closer and use harpoon crossbows to focus their fire on the War Hydra of the Heart Eater family. The War Hydra with only two heads left was hit by the overloaded firepower. One head was melted by the breath, and the other head fell to the ground. The broken body lay on the ground without a sound, without even a scream.
The two new war hydras that joined the battle began to focus their fire on the other war hydra after spewing out their fiery breath. The beast trainers on both sides continued to shoot at each other with harpoon crossbows. Jaeger tried to sympathize with the two war hydras and told them that they were attacking the wrong target. The broken war hydras of the Cold Eyes family were beaten to death. The only remaining snake head hissed and fell to the ground lifeless. The ten snake heads of the Hell's Disaster family war hydras began to gnaw on the snake heads that fell to the ground, and the situation instantly became five against two.
The two war hydras did not obey Jaeger's order. He watched the scene speechlessly. He did everything he could. He would not be crazy enough to whip the war hydras with dragon tendon whip unless it was absolutely necessary. Originally, the two war hydras were disturbed in semi-hibernation and were extremely reluctant to move out.
Daxus led the Cold Lizards' Dread Riders back to a place not far from the gap, hid at the bottom of the Black Ark's side to avoid stray arrows, and watched the battle between the War Hydras in amazement. He was not stupid enough to use Soul Eaters to attack the War Hydras. Even if the Cold Lizards' teeth were broken, they could not bite the scales of the War Hydras. Under his orders, the big guy calmed down the manic Cold Lizards.
The beast trainers under the command of Calion used harpoon crossbows to eliminate the beast trainers of the Heart Eater family. After losing the sympathy and suppression of the Heart Eater family beast trainers, the only two remaining war hydras became chaotic. Seeing that the situation was not right, one war hydra turned around and ran back to the deck. The other war hydra was still fighting stupidly. Within a few seconds, this war hydra was entangled in the hunting net with barbs. It was completely unable to turn around or walk. The two war hydras on the Nagor began to besiege the trapped war hydra. The two high-level dark sorceresses continued to work together to release the soul-stealing technique. The trapped war hydra struggled for a while and then did not move.
After the two war hydras of the Hell's Disaster family finished eating, their ten heads began to stare madly at the eight heads of the two war hydras of the Nagor. After staring for a while, as Daxus expected, the four war hydras began to bite and fight each other again. No matter how much the trainers like Jaeger sympathized, it was useless. Jaeger continued to order the trainers to find opportunities to throw hunting nets with barbs to trap them.
A war hydra from the Hell's Disaster family was caught in a hunting net but was still struggling, while the other war hydra suddenly stopped biting, started to go crazy, and rushed directly onto the deck.
One of the Nagor's war hydras was also caught in the hunting net, while the other hissed in pain, feeling confused, hungry, and incomprehensible. The air was filled with the smell of blood, making it extremely angry.
Daxus was speechless, holding his helmet as he watched the scene. This was the shortcoming of Druch's war beast: it was out of control.
Yeager also became angry. He ordered the trainers to continue throwing the hunting nets. He shook the pigtails behind his head, took out the dragon tendon whip and began to crackle it on the ice. His whip had to be steady, accurate and fierce, otherwise he would be eaten as a snack by the war hydra.
After taking a breath, the two high-level dark sorceresses continued to cast soul-stealing magic on the uncontrollable war hydra.
"Can we solve it?" Daqian turned to look at Bainie and asked seriously.
Bainie had been observing the war hydra, shook his head and said, "This beast requires several Black Guards to simultaneously use the Duruchi halberd to stab into the snake's mouth and hit the snake's head. I used to conduct this kind of coordinated training with the Black Guards, but the training effect is not so good..."
Hearing this, Daxus understood. He was not so arrogant as to think that he and his followers could solve the problem with a wave of cold lizards. The War Hydra was not a Chimera.
Edmund didn't care about this. He couldn't wait. He held up Hadrika and ordered the muzzle of the Reaper crossbow to turn and start shooting at the war hydra. Just as Jaeger was about to swing the dragon tendon whip to whip the snake's head, he heard a sound of breaking air behind him. Hearing the sound, Jaeger cursed inwardly, fell back, and his body began to roll backwards.
One of the war hydra's heads bit the ice where Jaeger had just landed. Six crossbow arrows slammed heavily into the war hydra's scales, and three of the snake heads hissed. Then the second round of crossbow arrows hit the war hydra again. One crossbow arrow directly hit the connection between the snake's head and body, followed by the third round. The crazy war hydra fell motionless on the ice.
Jaeger climbed up from the ice, cursing loudly. After that, he ordered Kaleen to return to the Scourgerunner chariot to drag away these war hydras and clear the passage for the subsequent teams.
Sometimes the battlefield is like this, with everyone having their own ideas in a chaotic fight. This is not a game where one person can control all the teams.
Dacun's team began to approach the gap. Of the five centuries led by Edmund, two had already climbed up using ladders and grappling ropes, and the remaining three centuries lined up under his leadership, waiting for the gap to open.
The last war hydra corpse in the gap was dragged away by the Scourge Walker chariot. Darkus nodded to Jaeger and Edmund, and led the team directly to the deck.
The black dragon roared over the top of the black ark again, its body vertical in the air, its hind claws directly grabbing a scorpion tail lion, then adjusting its direction and smashing into the spire, its breath of corrosive venom sprayed onto the scorpion tail lion, and the scorpion tail lion and the sorceress on its body melted in the wailing, and its breath continued to spray onto the spire, and it began to attack the sorceress in the spire.
After Daxus rushed onto the deck, the War Hydra of the Heart Eater family had already died on the deck, and the War Hydra of the Hellsbane family continued to rampage, its claws and snake heads tearing dozens of Black Ark pirates apart. The rest of the Black Ark pirates knelt on the ground, blood flowing from their seven orifices, wailing in pain. As expected, a high-level death sorceress should have released soul extraction on them.
"Charge! Charge!"
The Cold Lizards of the Heart Eater family rushed around on the deck. Daxus wanted to solve this hidden danger. The Cold Lizards roared fiercely and pounced on the Dread Spearmen and Black Ark Pirates. The moment they collided, the soldiers of the Heart Eater family were directly pierced by the Soul Eaters or chopped down by the serrated swords and Messier knives that followed. The team led by Daxus did not turn or stop, but continued to charge.
With Darkus, the "Hooked Storm," the battle was a sure thing. The Cold Ones Dread Riders of the Heart Eater clan were instantly slaughtered before they could even react. He suddenly spotted Malanur, locked in a bitter fight, surrounded by his powerful retinue.
Two teams of Dreadspearmen stood between Darkeus and Maranur's forces. The Big Man roared, commanding the Cold Lizards to adjust their course. Unable to escape, the Dreadspearmen were forced to defend, their cries of despair rising. A moment later, they were knocked over by Darkeus's forces. The Big Man still held a Dreadspearman in his jaws. The Big Man's head swung back and forth, his jaws unable to exert force. The Dreadspearman wailed as he swung back and forth in mid-air. Suddenly, the Big Man tossed his head, sending the Dreadspearman flying through the deck, 30 meters above the ice. The consequences were unimaginable.
Daxus's team knocked down the Heart Eater family soldiers who were besieging Maranul. Daxus held up the Soul Eater in his right hand and made a friendly international gesture to Maranul with his left hand. Maranul looked at the gesture in confusion, swallowed a mouthful of blood and began to deal with the knocked-over Heart Eater family soldiers.
Edmund led three centuries onto the deck, one of which followed behind Dacus to harvest the overturned soldiers, and the other two went to support the bow deck.
Jaeger commanded Kallion to drive several Scourge Walker chariots onto the deck, used them as dump trucks, and began to attack recklessly.
Daxus was still clearing the deck. The big guy continued to adjust his direction and attacked the Reaper Crossbow on the deck from the flank. Only the outermost gun group of the Reaper Crossbow could turn the muzzle to shoot his team. He took out the longbow from the saddle, raised the bow, and threw the arrow into the wind. The arrow head hit the archer's head directly in a graceful arc. Soon the deputy archer next to him took over the shooting. The second arrow arrived and hit the head with the same accuracy. There was no third arrow. The Cold Lizard rushed in and started biting, and the riders on the Cold Lizard also began to slash and stab.
The battle in the air was over, and a scorpion-tailed lion fell straight from the air in front of the war hydra. The war hydra took a step back, and its five heads also raised their heads and retreated. After a moment of hesitation, it thanked nature for the gift and began to eat.
After eliminating the artillery group on one side of the ship, Daxus led the team to continue the attack. He took a longbow and aimed at a lone sorceress from the Heart Eater family. She was running on the deck in a daze. A magic-breaking arrow pierced her chest. The sorceress ran forward a few steps and fell dead on the deck. Judging from her clothes and staff, she might be a low-level civilian sorceress who was on board the ship to participate in a one-time raid.
Before he could sigh, Daxus saw a reserve force of a hundred men who had just rushed out of the spire. He saw a centurion-like Druch waving his hands to give orders. He simply bent his bow and drew his arrow. The arrow went through the centurion's armpit and went into his chest. The centurion screamed and fell down.
The group of cold lizards crashed directly into the pile of reserve troops. Dacius put down his longbow, drew out his Messer and started chopping. This group of soldiers from the Heart Eater family should be the last elite. The casualties of the centurions did not make them panic, but they continued to deploy their troops. Two more hundred-man reserve troops rushed out of the spire to encircle Dacius's troops.
Darkeus's troops began to struggle. He and his powerful retainers began hacking and slashing left and right. Alisa seized the opportunity to manipulate the wind of Gur, unleashing the tough fur of Paine, which covered Darkeus's troops with a hardened skin, providing them with greater protection from weapons and other forms of damage. A Dreadspearman charged at Darkeus with his spear. Darkeus blocked the blow with his shield. Taking advantage of the gap in the Dreadspearman's attack, Darkeus slashed through the gap in the armor, severing the Dreadspearman's neck.
Dastan Coldeye rode on a scorpion-tailed lion and smashed directly into the reserve troops of the Heart Eater family, hacking left and right. Edmund commanded the centurions that had been assembled one after another to surround them from behind, trapping these reserve troops in the middle. A stray arrow shot from nowhere hit Daquus's helmet, and the arrow head flew along the edge of the helmet. Daquus did not jump off the Cold Lizard but continued to hold the shield in front of him, and Maranul also came to support.
The Heart Eater family's army began to collapse, unable to advance or retreat, and the advantage had completely shifted to Daquus's side.
