Ogres had a Creature Level of 5, and they were naturally Grade 2 intelligent creatures.
If they succeeded in evolving, their strength would be a combination of their Creature Level and their Class Level. Although the ogres were only Grade 2 or Grade 3 warriors, and their techniques were far inferior to humans, their overall strength was still higher than the Whiterun army. The ogres' innate Strength allowed them to rampage as soon as they entered the frontline. The heavy infantrymen who had been buffed with Strength and Brute Strength were barely able to stop the ogres, but the same could not be said for the rest of the Whiterun army.
The first line of defense was in a state of chaos.
The ogres at the frontline fell one after another. In just a few breaths, thirty of them had been killed by crossbow bolts. However, the Whiterun army also suffered heavy casualties. Most of the light infantrymen who were unlucky enough to be hit by the spiked clubs were killed on the spot, and the lucky ones had their limbs broken. There was a limit to how many spells the wizards could cast. Most of them were concentrated on the stronger heavy infantrymen, and the light infantrymen could not stop the ogres' charge at all.
"Steady! Steady! "
The commander in full plate armor roared. He pointed his sword forward and shouted, "Whiterun Elite Legion, attack!"
Heavy footsteps were heard.
The second line of heavy infantrymen began to advance. They were all wearing full plate armor, but they did not use shields. They were armed with a variety of weapons. Some used two-handed swords, some used long swords, and some used special weapons such as flails, spiked hammers, and giant scythes. They were all Grade 3 warriors with a Profession Level of 10 and above. They did not need any spell buffs. They roared and charged at the ogres in front of them.
Clang! Clang!
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
The heavy infantrymen easily blocked the ogres' attacks and fought them head-on without fear. Their armored figures were as agile as ever, dodging the ogres' ferocious attacks while looking for a chance to hit the ogres' weak points. Ten Profession Levels meant five Free Attribute Points, so they were not much weaker than the ogres. The only downside was that there were only seventy or eighty of them. However, as they joined the battle, the first line of defense was quickly stabilized.
"Fatal attack?"
Soran continued to fire with his crossbow. He took some time to look at the battlefield. There were three to five people who were very conspicuous on the battlefield. Wherever they went, the ground was littered with Ogre corpses. In just a few minutes, more than ten Ogres had fallen under their swords. These were the only Class 3 Warriors who weren't wearing armor. Their movements were abnormally nimble, and the straight blades in their hands cut through the ogres' vitals in an instant.
Tier 3 Sword Saint!
As an advanced profession that was extremely violent and even more dangerous than Berserkers, these Sword Saint humans were simply killing machines.
Five or six heavy infantrymen guarded the Sacred Swordsman's left and right sides. When they attacked together, they blocked the enemies from the sides and behind them.
Sword Saints were very weak!
They didn't even have a single piece of leather armor on them. As long as they were hit by the enemy, they would die on the spot.
Søren shot an Ogre in the eye. The crossbow bolt pierced through the front and killed the enemy in an instant. Ogres gave a lot of Slaughter EXP. This was just an ordinary Ogre Warrior, but he already received 800 points of Slaughter EXP. If it was an advanced Ogre Warrior, the amount of Slaughter EXP he received would be comparable to the Snake Demon from the Abyss.
"Lightning Spear!"
An Ogre Warlord in full armor seemed to have discovered these dangerous enemies. It roared and threw an iron spear in the direction of the Sacred Swordsman. The Ogre Warriors rushed up from behind. They roared and threw their iron spears at the enemy. The iron spears pierced through the air with a sharp whistle, killing five Warriors on the spot. One of them couldn't dodge in time and had his leg pierced by the spear. Before the others could help, the Ogre Warlord pounced over with a sinister smile and swung his heavy mace down!
Like a watermelon, the Sacred Swordsman's head instantly shattered.
Powerful, but also weak.
A Sacred Swordsman who had almost completely given up on armor would easily become the focus of the enemy in a large-scale battle like this.
They were simply too conspicuous.
The Ogre Warlord had three iron spears in total. After two rounds of overdraft, most of their ammunition had been used up. As the distance between them and the Ogre Warlord got closer, it roared and led a group of Warriors with strange paint to charge at the wizards in the rear. These weak spellcasters were just as dangerous. The iron spears they threw had a range of almost a hundred meters. As long as they could break through the first line of defense, they could attack the wizards in the rear. Mage armor couldn't block these heavy weapons. As long as one of the iron spears hit them, it would break their mage armor and shield.
These Ogres were monsters that didn't play by the rules.
Some of the Ogres on the frontline couldn't break through, so they gave up on the enemies in front of them and charged at the adventurers on the flanks.
Curses could be heard everywhere.
Many of the adventurers had no choice but to draw their weapons and block the Ogres.
After activating Bloodthirsty Rage, the Ogres had completely lost their minds. Apart from not attacking their own kind, anyone else could become their target. As they fought, the Ogres lost their sense of direction and rampaged through the crowd for a while. Some of them pounced on the light infantry, while others pounced on the adventurers.
Boom!
It was like a muffled thunder.
The legendary Storm Lord finally couldn't take it anymore. She took out a short spear and threw it out. A flash of lightning appeared on it and instantly nailed an Ogre Warrior to death.
A fierce figure flew out, completely beyond the range of a normal human. The Storm Lord's spear flashed with lightning, and the Ogres in front of her fell like wheat being cut. Almost all of them were killed in one blow, and there were traces of lightning burns on their wounds. The strength of a legendary profession was undoubtedly displayed at this moment. In the blink of an eye, seven or eight Ogres were killed.
The frantic sound of war drums reverberated.
The Ogre Shaman roared to the sky, pulled out a giant bone stick from behind, and stepped heavily into the battlefield.
The two-headed Ogre, who had not moved for a long time, finally began to move. Its two heads began to cast spells at the same time, and each of its hands was holding a heavy axe. It rushed toward the Storm Lord in front of it. The brilliance of spells emerged, and the skin of the two-headed Ogre became like stone. Its speed doubled in an instant, and it waved its axe and split a heavy infantry on the spot.
— — "Fireball!"
— — "Bursting Flame!"
— — "Dragon Strength!"
— — "Haste!"
The casting speed of the two-headed Ogre was several times faster than the human Wizards. A fireball exploded in the formation of the light infantry. Even if they scattered in advance to avoid it, more than a dozen people fell to the ground, and most of them were dead. After blessing itself with Dragon Strength, the two-headed Ogre's strength broke through the sky. With a swing of its axe, even the steel shield was deformed. When the first round of spells was over, the other Wizards barely managed to complete their spells and used Counterspell to interrupt the Greater Haste.
However, it was obvious that two or three Wizards were pale, and traces of blood flowed from the corners of their mouths. This was a sign that their Counterspell had failed, and they were severely injured.
Their intelligence was not as good as the two-headed Ogre Wizard in front of them.
The Whiterun army fell to the ground like wheat being harvested. It took less than two minutes for the two-headed Ogre to join the battle, and hundreds of people were killed or injured.
"It doesn't have many spell slots left!"
Søren's pupils shrank slightly. He pulled out his curved sword and slashed at the back of an Ogre.
Wizards had limited spell slots. The two-headed Ogre's casting speed was very fast, but its spell slots were also very fast. The continuous casting of spells just now had consumed at least half of its spell slots.
— — "Fly."
The Ogre Warrior was very fast. It broke through the defense line in front of it and rushed toward the Wizards at the back.
With a series of spells, the wizard's figure flew into the air. The duration of the Flight spell was very short. One point of spell power could only last for one minute. If one didn't have a special spellcasting ability while flying, the flexibility and spellcasting ability would plummet. This was because they needed to maintain Fly at the same time.
"Cavalry Charge!"
The opportunity on the battlefield was fleeting. The ogres threw their iron spears, and the Wizards either cast defensive spells, flew into the air, or teleported away. They used all sorts of methods to avoid the spears. Only one or two unlucky Wizards were hit by the spears at the same time. One of them, who had offended the Goddess of Luck, was pierced through the chest by an iron spear after teleporting fifty feet away. The range of low-grade spells was not more than five hundred feet, and the Wizards were only two or three hundred meters away from the battlefield.
— — "Hold Monster!"
— — "Charm Monster!"
— — "Invisibility!"
— — "Flame Arrow, Acid Arrow, Frost Spear, Transformation! … … "
The Wizards finally began to cast their spells. Based on their specializations, they used all sorts of methods to attack. Half of the Ogres at the front fell to the ground with a whoosh. Their tenacious vitality allowed many Ogres to resist the spells and charge forward. Their bodies had already been burnt black, but they could still furiously swing their spiked clubs.
The heavy sound of the cavalry's hooves was heard. The Whiterun Knights put down their spears and urged their horses to charge from the side. Accompanied by the dull sound of hooves, the heavy cavalry gradually scattered. When they rushed toward the enemy in front of them, they staggered about two meters away. The powerful force of the knight's spear pierced through the Ogres. When the spear hit the enemy, it broke automatically, leaving half of the spear in the Ogres' body.
It was impossible to charge head-on because the horses would automatically dodge, and the knights would not be able to withstand the reaction force.
In order to reduce the force of the recoil, most of the knights' spears were very brittle and would break at the same time. Otherwise, the recoil force would throw the knights off their horses.
* Clang! *
They pulled out their longswords, turned their horses around, and charged. The moment they passed by the Ogres, they swung their swords horizontally. The Ogres' maces almost brushed past their armor, and then fell weakly to the ground because there was a shocking wound on their chest. The Ogres' horses whined in pain. They were only grazed by the Ogres, but the horses broke on the spot and threw the knights off. The knights on the horses turned over and jumped up, holding their shields and swords tightly, and blocked the second attack head-on.
… … …
(PS: The spears used by infantry can only be used for stabbing in the hands of knights, and the recoil force of a head-on collision can throw them off. A real knight's spear is a one-time consumable. The front part is made of iron, and the middle part is made of brittle wood. The spear will break instantly after being hit, and at the same time, reduce the recoil force. A dense formation charging head-on is even more misleading. Knights' attacks are dislocated, slashing, and stabbing. Heavy cavalry rarely charge head-on, and they are more likely to charge from the side or from the rear because both the horses and the men are flesh and blood.)
