The battle had been intense since the beginning.
Faced with the barbarians' sharp battle axes, goblins, kobolds, and even gnolls could not withstand more than two hits.
The ground where the two sides were fighting was soon dyed red with blood. In the narrow space, the goblins and kobolds did not even have a chance to escape. They were directly cut in half by the axes. The first row of barbarian warriors was tired, and the second row immediately took their place. The barbarian warriors took turns killing the monsters, and their efficiency was not affected at all.
The monsters in front were blocked by the barbarians and could not move an inch forward. Seeing their companions being killed so easily, many goblins, kobolds, and gnolls wanted to retreat. However, the monsters at the back did not know what was happening in front of them and continued to charge forward. In the end, hundreds of monsters had squeezed into the area 30 meters behind the east gate of the camp, and the number was still increasing.
Suhlen stood on the high platform at the back and looked at the monsters flooding in from the east gate of the camp. His expression did not change at all. After seeing that the space surrounded by the stone wall was filled with monsters, Suhlen decisively ordered a retreat.
The barbarians who had resisted at the exit for more than ten minutes all retreated. Although it was only a short ten minutes, they had used up as much energy as a battle. The continuous high-intensity battle had also tired them out.
After the barbarians retreated, the monsters who were no longer under pressure were overjoyed and wanted to rush out quickly. However, as soon as the first batch of barbarians rushed out, a stone wall suddenly rose from the ground and blocked the passage in a breath.
The gnolls and goblins who could not stop in time slammed into the stone wall. For a moment, dust flew everywhere. Some of the weaker monsters had their sternum crushed and blood spurted out of their mouths.
Many gnolls wanted to climb over the stone wall, but the crowded space did not give them a chance to do so. Some lucky ones directly stepped on the bodies of the goblins and kobolds and climbed over the stone wall. However, as soon as they landed, they were stabbed by five or six mercenaries with spears.
Seeing the army of monsters in the simple barbican, Suhlen's face revealed a bloodthirsty smile. Under the afterglow of the setting sun, there was a hint of ferocity.
"Boom!"
The spear slammed into the ground.
"Set fire!"
A loud shout clearly spread throughout the battlefield. In the next second, dozens of torches suddenly rose around the barbican. Then, cans of burning kerosene were thrown into the barbican.
Boom!
The kerosene instantly ignited into a raging fire. Even the reed poles that had been piled up in the barbican were set ablaze. The monsters that had been tainted by the oil slapped their hands frantically, trying to put out the fire. However, other than igniting more places, there was no effect at all.
All the monsters frantically tried to escape, but the surrounding monsters made it impossible for them to move. Even the previous city gate suddenly dropped a thousand pound gate. The entire barbican was completely sealed off in an instant.
The flames in the barbican grew bigger and bigger. Many Gnolls' fur was instantly ignited. The flames burned wantonly in this space, and the screams of the monsters could be heard everywhere. The monsters that were trapped in a desperate situation became even crazier. In order to survive, they began to attack the other monsters around them, trying to clear enough space so that they could step on the corpses of their companions to escape the barbican.
However, the moment these monsters landed on the ground, they were killed by the barbarian warriors or mercenaries guarding the perimeter before they could even celebrate.
The fire dyed the sky red, and the temperature of the entire camp rose by several degrees. The monsters in the barbican were even more uncomfortable. There was a burning smell in the air, mixed with the fragrance of meat. The stone walls were slightly red from the heat, and the flames showed no signs of weakening. Although the reeds and kerosene had been burned out, the oil from the animals became the new fuel.
Countless Gnolls and Kobolds that were still alive kept wailing. These sounds were getting weaker and weaker. The flames had used up all the oxygen in the area. Many monsters that were not burned to death by the flames died of suffocation.
The entire barbican had become a fiery hell. Monsters were burned to ashes in the flames. The scorching heat waves rolled. Even the mercenaries who were close to the barbican had their hair curled up. The scorching flames had burned their skin red.
These mercenaries, who had been thinking of escaping before, were now all excited. They held their weapons and killed the monsters that escaped from the sea of fire. After Suhlen started the fire, he no longer paid attention to the turtles in the barbican. In his eyes, the monsters in the barbican were already dead.
Although there were a large number of Gnolls, Gnolls, and Kobolds in the barbican, there were still some outside the barbican. He did not plan to let these monsters go. After all, he was severely lacking in slaves.
Suhlen went around the west gate of the camp. When he arrived at the east gate, the monsters were smashing the gate. To prevent the monsters in the barbican from escaping, the thousand-pound gate was specially thickened. Although it had been dented by the attacks of the two trolls, it still did not break.
The flames in the barbican made the monsters feel that something was wrong. However, the monster army was in a mess. It was too late to retreat even if they wanted to. After seeing Suhlen and 30 Barbarian warriors rushing over, a tall and strong Gnoll wearing rough iron armor, who looked like the leader, howled.
Then, the chaotic monster army began to gather. Even the trolls that were attacking the gate turned around and rushed over.
Looking at the regrouped monster army, Su Lun narrowed his eyes. To be honest, he was a little surprised by this monster army. This group of monsters didn't rush up like a swarm of bees like the ones he had encountered before. They were actually disciplined.
Although this monster army's discipline was very poor, this was already a big improvement. At the front were the cannon fodder Gnolls and Gnolls, followed by a few trolls. There were also Gnolls on the left and right. Although the formation was messy, it did not mean that it was ineffective.
The Gnolls in the front row formed a long spear formation. Although their weapons were sharpened bones and sharp stones, they were still lethal.
Suhlen buttoned up his beast-faced iron armor, then picked up a three-meter-long spear and stretched his body. The Barbarian warriors were on both sides of him. These Barbarian warriors formed a conical formation, and Suhlen was the arrowhead at the front.
"Charge!" When the distance between the two sides was less than 100 meters, Suhlen roared and rushed forward. The Barbarians followed closely behind him.
100 meters was a distance that could be crossed in less than 10 seconds. Although Suhlen and the others only had 30 or so people, when they charged, they had an unstoppable momentum. An invisible pressure enveloped the entire battlefield.
