The bone mallet seemed to be much heavier than usual. Kail Mann took a deep breath and lifted the bone mallet. Fatty, who was hugging the bone mallet, was lifted up as well.
Kail Mann's 70 points of Strength was indeed terrifying.
However, with Fatty hugging the bone mallet, it was impossible for Kail Mann to wield it as freely as usual. An expert was used to using a weapon. Even if it was a few taels heavier, it would feel very different from usual. Furthermore, Fatty weighed 200 to 300 kilograms …
"Get lost!"
Kail Mann's bone mallet landed on the ground and roared. His thick knuckles smashed down with his fist. His fist was heavy and powerful. Even after being weakened by Fatty's armor, it could still deal around 80 points of damage. Every punch was as terrifying as a pile driver.
However, compared to when he was holding the bone mallet, the damage was a whole level lower.
While Fatty was hugging the bone mallet and enduring Kail Mann's punches, Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi were not idle. With the 20% increase in Attack Power and Attack Speed, Kail Mann's HP dropped rapidly like an avalanche.
Kail Mann threw two punches and his HP had dropped to less than 200 points. He roared again, and the blood-red shadow of the gigantic Orc rose behind him.
The third Blood Rage!
He punched Fatty right in the middle of his back. The damage of this punch was terrifying. It pierced through Fatty's body and dark purple blood flowed down Kail Mann's arm.
Fatty, Fatty, died in battle! In exchange, Bai Xiaowen and the others attacked Kail Mann for three seconds and reduced his HP to less than 100 points.
Kail Mann tore Fatty's body into two pieces. His hands, which were stained with dark purple blood, lifted the huge bone mallet again. His fierce eyes were filled with the joy of revenge.
However, with Kail Mann's intelligence, he could tell that the Giant Wolf and Zombie Goblin he had just killed were the summoned creatures of the black-robed wizard in front of him. (This was one of Bai Xiaowen's illusions in the eyes of Spirit World characters) Only by killing this black-robed wizard would he be able to achieve true victory and revenge!
Kail Mann aimed at Bai Xiaowen and raised the blood-stained bone mallet.
The elite Terror Knight appeared out of thin air and blocked Bai Xiaowen's path. However, the elite Terror Knight was sent flying in the next second....................
Kelman's HP was less than 120 points. He stepped forward and swung his bone mallet. This time, he faced the Shadow Assassin.
........... .............................
Kelman's HP fell below 100 points.
That valiant Beastman Warlord felt the shadow of death. He suddenly beat his chest and roared, and the shadow of a huge blood-red Beastman appeared behind him once more.
..............
Sensing the danger its master was in, the Giant Rock Lizard stopped by Kitts and the other elite soldiers in the distance suddenly raised its head. It aimed at Bai Xiaowen's back and shot out two spiral-shaped rays of light!
This was the Giant Rock Lizard's only control skill, Petrifying Stare.
At the same time, Kail Mann's body was covered in bloody light as he raised the bone mallet high. His plan was simple. He wanted to take advantage of Bai Xiaowen being petrified and unable to move to kill him with a wave of Blood Rage.
However, under the cover of Bai Xiaowen's spiritual power, every movement of the Giant Rock Lizard was clear as day. He didn't even turn his head. A Skeleton Swordsman appeared behind him, blocking the path of the Petrifying Stare.
This was the last Skeleton Swordsman, and also the trump card Bai Xiaowen had been hiding. It was to block the skill at a critical moment. However, Kail Mann's skills were all AoE and couldn't be blocked, so he had been hiding it until now.
Crack, crack, crack. The Skeleton Swordsman was petrified.
Bai Xiaowen predicted the position of Kail Mann's attack and pounced to the side.
Boom!
The bone mallet smashed into the petrified Skeleton Swordsman, smashing it into a pile of bones.
After the Blood Rage effect, Li Shuyi and the others, who had retreated, pounced forward and continued to attack.
Kail Mann's Health Points fell below 80 points, then 70 points, 60 points …
With a loud boom, Li Shuyi's Demonic Fire Jade Pendant ended, and the + 7 special effect, Burst, was triggered.
The accumulated Fire Force gathered and exploded in Kail Mann's body. He let out a muffled roar. Blood spurted out from his mouth, ears, and all the wounds on his body. Under the evaporation of the Fire Force, the blood turned into a bloody mist and evaporated.
Kail Mann's raised bone mallet fell powerlessly. He knelt on the ground with one knee, supporting himself with both hands.
His Health Points had dropped to 1/720. He was in the "three statuses" where he couldn't move, attack, or cast spells. He was hanging on by his last breath.
According to Bai Xiaowen's understanding, the Boss had already fallen. It was just the cutscene …
"What a disgrace …" Kail Mann muttered. "I thought my life would end at the hands of a powerful warrior. I didn't expect it to be you weak humans …"
He was speaking the common language of the Gorse Empire (ancient Latin). Of course, Bai Xiaowen could understand him.
The Orc Warlord Kail Mann continued, "… If the Forbidden Spell hadn't injured me and forced me to use the Great Shaman's Blessing … you wouldn't have been able to defeat me."
Bai Xiaowen heaved a sigh of relief.
"Only the weak find excuses for their failure."
After saying this, Bai Xiaowen lost interest in chatting. The losses in this battle were greater than he had expected. Even the Wrath Claw had died in battle. Fortunately, the rules of the Spiritual Realm indicated that the Wrath Claw could be resurrected in the checkout interface. However, he didn't know how much he would have to pay.
In addition, there was still a Level-6 Boss creature, the Armored Lizard, waiting for Bai Xiaowen to deal with.
Bai Xiaowen shot Kail Mann in the forehead. The Orc Warlord Kail Mann fell to the ground, dead.
The Spiritual Realm's rules notified him:
"Your team has killed the commander of the vanguard of the survivors, the Giant Hammer Berserker Kail Mann."
"Your Reputation in the Human Alliance has greatly increased. Your current Reputation Level is: Reverence."
"Your Reputation in the Sinful Realm Alliance has greatly decreased. Your current Reputation Level is unchanged."
The golden treasure chest that Kail Mann dropped was obviously larger. It shone with a mesmerizing golden luster.
Bai Xiaowen exhaled and put away the golden treasure chest. Together with Li Shuyi, they went to find the Armored Lizard.
The Armored Lizard's defense was amazing. It was born with stone armor. Whether it was physical or magical damage, it was greatly reduced. Bai Xiaowen and the others' attacks could only deal single-digit damage. In terms of defense, it was much stronger than Kail Mann.
However, its strength was average, its agility was poor, and its attack was weak. It couldn't break through the encirclement of the guards and Julian's cavalry. Also, Bonita kept using [Saintly Hand] to heal the guards, and none of them died.
The reason why Bonita didn't participate in killing Kail Mann was because of the battle's evaluation. If a character from the Spiritual Realm participated, the reward for killing the Boss would be reduced. Besides, Berita's healing was nothing compared to Kelman's insane damage output. She would still be insta-killed. There was no need for her to join in the fun.
Bai Xiaowen ordered the guards to retreat. He and Li Shuyi attacked the Armored Lizard together.
Without a powerful damage dealer like Kelman, the Stone Lizard was nothing more than a punching bag. Under the combined attacks of Bai Xiaowen, Li Shuyi, the Shadow Assassin, and the Skeleton Mage, the lizard's HP slowly decreased.
It was worth mentioning that the Armored Lizard's HP recovered very quickly. It would recover five or six HP in the next second after losing ten HP. With this ridiculous HP recovery speed and incredible defense, the lizard's survivability was unbeatable.
If the Armored Lizard also had strong attacks, it would be too unfair. It shouldn't be at the level of a Level-6 Boss creature.
After more than twenty minutes, they finally killed the Armored Lizard.
Of course, it was also because the Wrath Claw, Skeleton Swordsman, and other summoned creatures had died. Li Shuyi's accessory had also used its ultimate move, so its damage output was much lower. The Armored Lizard, on the other hand, was a Boss creature with fast HP recovery speed. It bullied the Awakened who didn't have enough damage output. If it were a few other classes, they wouldn't be able to recover as quickly as they attacked. How could they win?
From this, it could be seen that Bai Xiaowen's initial judgment was to separate the Armored Lizard from Kail Mann. If the two Boss creatures worked together, it would be extremely difficult to deal with. Think about how abnormal Kail Mann's damage output and the Armored Lizard's survivability would be.
After the Armored Lizard died, it also dropped a golden treasure chest.
Bai Xiaowen gathered the Whitestone Army. The Whitestone Army didn't suffer many casualties in this battle, losing more than forty people. However, they achieved the glorious result of annihilating the defeated vanguard army of the remnants. They made a great contribution and could be considered a great victory.
Bai Xiaowen encouraged Kitts and the others. Not only did he promise to confer the title of a second batch of knights, but he also promised a reward of twenty gold coins per person. The compensation for the dead would be doubled. In any case, he was now rich. These gold coins that he couldn't take away might as well be used to boost morale.
Kitts and the others, who used to be bandits, cheered.
The Whitestone Army went to clean up the battlefield and cut off the heads of the soldiers of the remnants as proof of their meritorious service.
The ground was full of the corpses of the remnants, and there were even more of them who died in the Black Iron Mountain Range. However, most of them were burned to a crisp. They could only be barely recognized from their fangs that they were a subspecies of the remnants.
Every Whitestone Army soldier had one or two heads of the remnants hanging on their waists. Even the recruits had a share. Cutting off the enemy's head could be regarded as letting them see blood and give them some courage.
Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi also cleaned up the battlefield. They collected the treasure chests. The final count was two golden treasure chests, five silver treasure chests, and no ordinary treasure chests.
Suddenly, Bai Xiaowen's eyebrows twitched and he looked to the south. His spiritual power sensed that there seemed to be a large group of people approaching.
Kitts lay on the ground and listened with his ear to the ground. Then he raised his head. "Lord, there are cavalry and infantry. There are at least hundreds of people approaching."
"They are coming from the south. They are definitely not enemies. They should be the pursuing troops of His Highness," Bai Xiaowen said.
It turned out that Bai Xiaowen's judgment was correct. Soon, they saw the Human Alliance Army led by Prince Nicholas.
"Baron Dior?" Prince Nicholas saw Bai Xiaowen from afar. Just as he called out to him, he suddenly froze for a moment.
Behind Bai Xiaowen was a battlefield full of corpses. The most conspicuous one was undoubtedly the headless body of Kail Mann, who was leaning on a huge bone mallet.
"No way?" Lord Julian, who was next to Nicholas, said in a daze.
On the other side, Lady Cecilia, who was wearing a cool white armor, was also stunned on the spot.
They had rushed over, thinking that they were going to rescue "Baron Dior," or that the battle was over and they were going to collect the body of "Baron Dior."
But now … the battle was indeed over.
Baron Dior led the 17th Infantry Formation and directly killed a large number of elites of the remnant people, as well as Warlord Kail Mann!
He was simply caught off guard.
The first one to react was Nicholas. He flipped over and dismounted from his horse. He laughed and said, "Baron Dior, you have given me a huge surprise again."
Bai Xiaowen gently tapped his chest with his right fist, indicating for Keats to present Kail Mann's head. He said in a clear voice, "This victory is dedicated to the great Prince. Your brave charge on the battlefield determined the outcome of the battle. What I've done is just an insignificant supplement. "
Nicholas was "pleased". He said with a smile, "Humility is a virtue, but there is no need to be overly cautious. It was my negligence not to set up an ambush in advance. But you thought of this and made up for it in advance. In the end, you were able to successfully kill the enemy leader. This is a great contribution. "
After a pause, Nicholas said, "I will report to His Majesty to promote your title and expand your fief."
A notification came from the Spiritual Realm.
"Your team has received 3000 merit points from the Human Alliance Army."
"Prince Nicholas' favorability towards you has increased. His current favorability is: Acquaintance."
3000 merit points were equivalent to part of the reward Bai Xiaowen received for completing the B-level "Hero's Side Mission 1." More importantly, he had gained Prince Nicholas' favor, which increased his authority in the Human Alliance Army. These were all hidden benefits.
As for the title and fief, they did not mean much to Bai Xiaowen.
"All troops, retreat and follow me back to Blackrock Fortress. From now on, Baron Dior is qualified to attend and speak at high-level military meetings, "Prince Nicholas announced. He then patted Bai Xiaowen's shoulder and rode away.
Bai Xiaowen returned the 20 cavalrymen to Lord Julian. During the battle, Bai Xiaowen did not let the 20 cavalrymen clash head-on with Kail Mann's remaining troops. Instead, he arranged for them to shoot arrows on Black Iron Ridge. After all, the cavalrymen's archery skills were not bad.
Seeing that his precious cavalrymen did not suffer any casualties, Lord Julian said emotionally, "Brother Dior, thank you very much." He had already mentally prepared himself for the complete annihilation of his cavalrymen.
Bai Xiaowen shook his head. "On the contrary, I should be the one thanking you."
The two looked at each other and smiled. Bai Xiaowen received a notification that Lord Julian's favorability had increased to "Friend".
White Rose Cecilia rode over and looked at Bai Xiaowen with a complicated expression. "You win, but don't expect me to apologize." She then rode away.
"This little widow …" Bai Xiaowen muttered softly. Then, he received a notification from the Spiritual Realm.
