After a loud bang that resounded throughout the battlefield, the stone stick of the elite Cyclops hit the spiral dart and shattered into many pieces in the air before bursting into a cloud of dust.
The Cyclops was sent flying by the tremendous force. Before its huge and heavy body landed on the ground, a large amount of blood mist was spurting out of its mouth.
This was because there were several large wounds on its chest, and even more than half of its lungs had been cut off. The blood gushing out of the wounds would cause such a shocking scene to appear for a short period of time under the powerful contraction of the lungs.
After severely injuring the elite cyclops, the spiral dart ended its mission and broke into seven or eight pieces with a crack.
Most of these fragments bounced into the sky, but two of them flew close to the ground at high speed, causing a bloody storm in the dense formation of the Cyclops.
The two fragments instantly became the focus of attention on the chaotic and fierce battlefield.
Because the two high-speed fragments caused terrible indiscriminate damage, they directly cut open two terrifying flesh tunnels that were three to four meters wide and more than ten meters long on the battlefield!
At this time, the centaur guards in the central part of the formation dispersed at the same time, revealing a passage. The powerful centaur chieftain, Brand Haden, also rushed over, holding a small black spear in his right hand.
The spear looked like a small, crudely made toy, the kind that was used to trick children.
But Brand Haden had a solemn expression on his face when he held the spear, as if he was holding his own soul.
Immediately afterward, the black spear began to emit a dazzling light. Even Varden, who was holding it, turned transparent under the illumination of the light, and the bones inside could be seen clearly.
Then, the black spear flew straight out. With a flash of light, it opened a hole between the eyebrows of the seriously injured elite Cyclops.
The elite Cyclops was stunned for a moment. After a few seconds, its huge body turned into ashes and disappeared with the wind.
Not only that, but the black spear didn't stop there. It pierced through the chests of the two Hill Mountain Giants in succession, then shot towards the throat of the female Goron. The female Goron roared and grabbed the spear in her hand.
But this spear that looked like a child's toy was not so easy to catch!
Even with the female Goron's monstrous strength, after grabbing it, she immediately let out a series of painful roars.
On her right palm that grabbed the spear, there was a burst of smoke!
Not only that, behind the female Goron, a transparent illusion that looked exactly the same appeared. It also seemed to be in extreme pain. Its transparent right palm even began to disappear.
Seeing this scene, Goat couldn't help but take a deep breath and said,
"This is? Soul damage? This black short spear seems to have some background. I'm afraid it's a divine artifact. "
Hearing the words "divine artifact", Fang Linyan and Vulture also took a deep breath at the same time.
However, for Fang Linyan, the artifact was not something unattainable. The steel fire source fragment he had was already a legendary item. If he collected more fragments, it could definitely be promoted to an artifact!
***
After holding on for 3 seconds, the female Goron could no longer bear the pain of her soul being cut. She directly let go of her hand and knelt on the ground, trembling violently.
The black short spear also flew out of her hand, turned into a stream of light, and returned to Brand Haden's hand. Brand Haden's whole body twitched violently, but he immediately stood still as if nothing had happened.
However, among the group of guards behind Brand Haden, 3 centaurs suddenly fell to the ground and lost their lives.
Obviously, in order to control this black short spear, he also paid a huge price.
This black short spear was of course a divine artifact. It was left by the powerful Zaetar, the founder of the entire centaur tribe.
In the long years after Zaetar's death, this divine artifact called Spear of Pain was only used 3 times. After each use, the user paid the price with his life.
It was not until the appearance of Brand Haden that the Spear of Pain showed its true power in his hands and returned to the ranks of conventional weapons.
This was also the main reason why the ambitious centaur ruling class in the Kyrgyz tribe was willing to bow their heads and acknowledge Brand Haden as the Centaur Chieftain.
As long as he had the spear in his hand, Brand Haden would be the strongest person below Zaetar!
However, Brand Haden only stopped the Hill Giant's momentum for more than 10 seconds with his own strength. The ferocious Hill Giant was stimulated by the death and injury of its companions. It rushed up with bloodshot eyes and slammed into the defensive line of the centaurs in front of it like a tide!
There was no doubt that this was a terrible bloody battle!
Needless to say, the rescue team members next to them were all enraptured by the battle. They all stared at the thing shaking under the Hill Giant's crotch and drooled like perverts.
Even an old man like Mill was muttering something in his mouth. At first, Fang Linyan thought that he was thinking about how to carry out the plan better later, but when he took a closer look, he found that he was not much better than the rest. His eyes were staring at the Hill Giant's navel as he calculated:
"800,000 …"
"1.6 million, no! This can weigh at least 2 kilograms, 1.7 million! "
"2.5 million!"
"3.3 million!"
Fang Linyan glanced at him contemptuously,
"I thought you were a little knowledgeable, but it turns out that you are just a poor guy who has never seen money before."
Of course, the above words were all secretly ridiculing; he didn't say it directly.
At this time, Fang Linyan turned his gaze to another guy, and his brows couldn't help but frown. This guy was naturally Stone Hammer Kishas.
Originally, he thought that when the battle started, this guy would also take the lead to stand up, then maybe he would die directly in battle, or at least be injured a little, so that the following actions against him could be saved some trouble.
However, Fang Linyan and the other two never expected that Stone Hammer Kishas was so cowardly that he had been hiding in the back. The thing he did the most was to pick up heavy stones and throw them at the distance. He didn't even bother to aim.
In addition, he often went to check on the female goron and treated her wounds with concern.
However, when he saw a Centaur Warrior at the end of his rope charging in, Stone Hammer Kishas would step forward bravely, letting out a deafening roar as he mercilessly tore the Centaur Warrior to shreds. He would even swallow the Centaur Warrior's heart, allowing the warm and sticky blood to splatter on his body and mouth.
This could make his appearance more ferocious. He was covered in blood, and it made people feel that he had just returned from the fierce battle on the front line.
"What a clever little brat."
Seeing this scene, Fang Linyan and the other two couldn't help but look at each other and sighed directly.
"But it doesn't matter. Things like the wolf king howling can't happen frequently. We can't always be lucky."
Fang Linyan's eyes showed a cold look. It was hard for him to hide his fangs these days.
Vulture nodded silently and said,
"Then let's do it by force. Stone Hammer Kishas seems to be slow, which is good news for us."
***
About 20 minutes later,
The centaur's front line was already in danger, and it might collapse in an instant.
After all, the hill giant relied on its size advantage. Its impact was too terrifying, and there was a steady stream of thylacines behind.
Even the ballistae that the centaurs were proud of were overturned. Those centaur shamans and lightning manipulators also joined the battle, but they still couldn't stop the hill giant's brutal and ferocious impact.
But at this moment, the guard beside Brand Haden took out a horn and blew it.
Not only that, a dozen personal guards beside Brand Haden also stepped forward, then drew their bows and arrows! Fire arrows were fired all over the battlefield.
Wherever these arrows passed, they ignited the things that had been left on the battlefield. The entire battlefield was in a blazing fire in a short time, illuminating the surroundings.
After the fire broke out, a new force emerged from the northwest corner of the battlefield. This should be an ambush that Brand Haden had set up beforehand. With such a new force attacking from the rear, the Hill Giants had a hard time dealing with both sides.
Unless they could sit back and watch the wounded in the rear being slaughtered, it was inevitable that they would withdraw their forces from the front line to defend.
At this moment, there were a dozen large carriages behind the fresh force. Standing on the large carriages were countless bloody beak vultures. Fang Linyan's old acquaintance, the leader of the bloody beak vultures was also on it.
Most birds had night blindness, so they didn't move at night, including the bloody beak vultures.
But at this time, the battlefield was filled with flames everywhere, and the characteristics of the enemy (hill giant) could be said to be quite obvious. Therefore, under the leadership of the bloody beak vultures, they quickly joined the battle.
The centaurs immediately evolved from the short-range and long-range ground-to-ground attack mode to the powerful ground and air attack mode!
So the situation immediately began to turn around quickly!
Fang Linyan snapped his fingers at this time, attracting everyone's attention,
"The outcome of the battlefield should be decided soon. Those bloody beak vultures have night blindness, so they won't fly to places without fire. The hill giants won't fight to the death. At that time, the centaurs' main force will also launch a pursuit, so there won't be too many people left on the battlefield."
"So, I estimate that we have a lot of opportunities to make a fortune from the bodies of the hill giants! At this time, it will be easier to be discovered by the centaur sentries if we stick together. If we act separately, the target will be much smaller. "
"My suggestion is not to be greedy. After we get it, we will leave. Then everyone can go back to the camp if you want. If you don't want to, then go to the rendezvous point set before. Is there any problem in this way?"
After seeing this scene, the rest also felt that Fang Linyan's words were very reasonable, so they nodded and agreed. Their hearts flew to the battlefield one after another.
Fang Linyan took a deep breath and said,
"Then … Go! Good luck! "
***
5 minutes later, a brave hill giant covered his eyes and let out a mournful howl.
But in the next second, a lightning bolt struck its head. This blow directly charred the hill giant and made it fall to the ground!
The death of this hill giant became the turning point on the battlefield. After a hill giant next to it was stunned, it covered its head and drove away the bloody beak vultures that besieged it, then it quickly fled while wailing loudly.
The rest of the hill giants also collapsed and fled. Even the thylacines in front of them were trampled to death. The cruelty of war was obvious at this time.
But at this moment, Kishas's performance was surprising. Fang Linyan originally thought that he would run faster than anyone, but at this time, he took the initiative to stand out like a reef in the tide! It seemed that he actually took the initiative to cover the retreat for his own kind!
Facing the enemies that came like a tide, Kishas let out a low roar!
In the dark night, the stone necklace on his neck that he just got emitted a faint white light. His eyes began to become as white as light bulbs, and even his pupils disappeared without a trace.
His skin tightened directly, and there were even signs of cracking. Purple lightning quickly appeared and lingered around Kishas!
A Centaur Shaman directly shot a lightning arrow at him, but after this lightning arrow exploded on Kishas' chest, thousands of electric snakes wandered on the surface of his skin, but they couldn't harm a single hair on his body. They were all attracted by the purple electric light.
Witnessing this scene, Brand Haden's face suddenly became solemn, and he began to mutter something.
Immediately afterward, Kishas raised one arm high as if he was going to pull down the sky. His right hand opened like a claw, and there was even a strange wind blowing nearby.
In the blink of an eye, a ball of dark purple mist appeared in Kishas's palm. One could feel an extremely oppressive aura of destruction coming from it!
Then he roared and directly threw the energy ball with purple lightning in front of him.
This ball of lightning with terrifying energy was thrown by Kishas with all his strength, but its accuracy was surprisingly crooked, and it crookedly fell a few meters in front of the centaur vanguard.
This seemingly powerful attack actually had a strong start and a weak finish. It really made one want to sigh and sigh.
However, the energy ball exploded the moment it hit the ground. Countless bolts of lightning shot out and instantly turned the enemies within a radius of ten meters into ashes!
But this was only the beginning, and not the end. When a large amount of dust and an unpleasant burnt smell began to spread, that strange ball actually shot out from the smoke again, and continued to bounce towards the centaur warriors, and the trajectory of its bounce was completely irregular!
The purple jumping balls of lightning exploded one after another among the centaurs. Probably because the formation was too dense, at least a hundred centaurs were blown up on the spot, and there were no casualties, only the dead who were turned into ashes!
In the end, it was Brandhaden who shot out a crimson lightning bolt that hit the purple ball of lightning and finally annihilated it!
But Kishas's attack also greatly reduced the morale of the centaur pursuers. Even when they were chasing, they were not so unscrupulous anymore. This could be said to have reduced the losses of the hill giants by at least half.
Because more than half of the injuries on the battlefield often happened when they were being chased after a defeat.
However, when the centaurs rushed into the temporary camp of the hill giants like a tide, their main force hurriedly began to search for the place where the prisoners were held. After rescuing a large group of prisoners, they suddenly let out a cheer!
Even Fang Linyan and the others in the distance could hear the cheers clearly.
Seeing this scene, although Fang Linyan and the others were already on the way to chase after Kishas, they understood why the centaur chieftain came here in such a big way:
It was because someone important to them was captured, so they gathered people and rushed through the night at all costs.
Otherwise, they would lose 800 of their own to kill 1000 enemies. In this battle, although the centaurs caused heavy casualties to the hill giants, they also suffered heavy losses.
***
After successfully rescuing the prisoners, Brandhaden did not stop. Instead, he directly led his subordinates to chase after the centaurs.
He knew very well that although the current pursuit was not very effective, he could still kill one or two of them. The strength of the entire race was actually accumulated bit by bit.
Unless a miracle could happen, the war between races was always a tug-of-war. It was not unusual for the outcome to be dragged out for ten or even a hundred years.
If they killed one more hill giant at this time, they might be able to save 5 warriors on the battlefield in the future.
Not only that, Brandhaden's target was the female creatures that were captured and escaped, even if they were the female centaurs of his own race.
If the hope of rescue was very small, then they must be killed. Because of a moment of soft-heartedness, this female creature might give birth to many hill giants, which would become a big problem in the future.
Obviously, the hill giants quickly noticed Brandhaden's intention, so they immediately scattered and fled.
The individual strength of the hill giants was far superior to that of the centaurs. A hill giant needed at least 5 or 6 centaur warriors to kill it. If the number was less than this, they would be in danger of being killed instead.
If the centaurs had spread their forces too far apart during their pursuit, then with the summons of three to five Hill Giants, especially one with the prestige of Stonehammer Kissas, the centaurs would definitely respond with a single call. Both parties would then regroup, and very easily launch a counterattack against their pursuers, or even reverse the situation in one fell swoop!
However, it was easy for three to five Hill Giants to gather together in the middle of the night. Once the Centaurs were scattered, it would be difficult for them to gather a few dozen Hill Giants in a short period of time to counter the enemy's charge in an orderly formation.
That was why the hill giants could scatter without any fear, but the centaurs could not scatter like a sheet of loose sand.
Both sides seemed to have dealt with each other many times, so the pursuit did not go too far. Brandhaden strictly ordered his subordinates to have at least 30 warriors as the base. The pursuit could not last more than an hour. Once the time was up, they were to return resolutely.
