"Roar!"
A tyrannical roar echoed, followed by even more roars. With the light of the molotov cocktails, Suhlen was able to clearly see the situation of the Tauren camp.
The molotov cocktails weren't as effective as Suhlen had imagined. Although they had ignited quite a few houses, the casualties of the Tauren were limited. Moreover, when the molotov cocktails ignited the camp, a burst of ice energy suddenly appeared.
Ice Storm!
A whirlwind made of ice and snow suddenly appeared, quickly suppressing the burning flames and extinguishing many of them. Suhlen frowned. The flames of the molotov cocktails were a lot stronger than ordinary flames, but the materials that Suhlen had made were still quite different from real molotov cocktails.
Kerosene couldn't compare to gasoline, and charcoal couldn't compare to aluminum powder or rubber. Whether it was burning or sticking, it was much worse. Last time, they had succeeded in bullying the Beastmen army because there were no casters among them. Moreover, they were living in tents. Now that they had encountered a caster's spell, it was normal for it to be barely effective.
The Harpy retreated after throwing the molotov cocktails. There weren't many molotov cocktails in Western Town's Northern City, mainly because kerosene was hard to find. This kind of war preparation material could only be produced in the Desert Kingdom, and it was sold in limited quantities. Suhlen had saved up a lot of kerosene for a long time.
He had used most of it last time when he had set fire to the Beastmen camp, and the rest had been thrown out today, so the effect was limited. With the help of the flames, Suhlen saw the appearance of the Tauren. Speaking of which, this was the first time he had seen a Tauren outside of some books.
Taurens weren't commonly seen on the surface, and most of them were underground creatures. Their appearance was very unique, looking like a bull that walked upright. The Tauren had a human body and was three meters tall. Their muscles were bulging, and they looked very powerful. They wore fine iron armor and held a shield in one hand and an axe in the other.
Their axes were even bigger than the Barbarian's axes. They were two meters long, and only these Taurens could wield them. Although they were called Taurens, they didn't inherit the gentle nature of bulls. Instead, they inherited the tyrannical side of bulls.
These Minotaurs were cruel and tyrannical. They loved war and killing. In fact, Minotaurs had inherited a trace of demon blood. They worshipped demons and liked to capture other weak creatures as slaves. The Minotaurs worshipped the Minotaur King Buffett, the Lord of the Abyss' 600th floor.
These Minotaurs, who were over three meters tall and weighed close to a thousand pounds, could be said to be the best heavy infantry. After putting out the fire, these Minotaurs rushed out of the camp.
Looking at the tall Taurens in heavy armor and weapons, the earth trembled when they ran, and then looking at the Grey Dwarfs who were less than 1.5 meters tall, wearing iron armor and standing in neat rows like a group of gas tanks, Su Lun felt that they were not very reliable.
"How do you plan to deal with those Minotaurs?" Suhlen looked at the Grey Dwarves suspiciously. When they decided to deal with the Taurens, the Grey Dwarves had strongly requested to participate.
Although Suhlen didn't think highly of the Grey Dwarves, the Grey Dwarves had clashed with the Minotaurs in the Underworld before. Until Suhlen took action, these Grey Dwarves had been doing well. They still had experience in dealing with the Minotaurs.
"The Minotaurs look tall and mighty, but they're just for show. When we fight them, we just roll under their legs and jump up to chop off their hind legs." The Grey Dwarf's commander, Barton, patted his chest and said. However, Suhlen didn't think this tactic was reliable at all.
Seeing Suhlen's expression of disbelief, Barton continued to explain, "Those big guys are too big. They turn very slowly and are not as agile as us. Also, it's very inconvenient for them to attack us because we're short."
"We may be short, but we're agile. In order to deal with the Minotaurs, we even developed a slide kick. When the Minotaurs attack, we just slide under their legs and use our axes to attack their private parts. If we're lucky, we can even castrate them!"
"…" Suhlen originally thought that these Grey Dwarves had some kind of ultimate move to deal with the Minotaurs, but it turned out that this was it? If they were lucky, they could castrate them, but if they were unlucky, wouldn't they become snacks delivered to their doorstep? Would they be able to crush gas tanks with a single stomp of their hooves?
Suhlen wasn't optimistic about the Grey Dwarves' plan. According to what they said, if they were facing a single Minotaur, they might be able to pull it off. However, they were facing a group of Minotaurs. Sure, they might be able to dodge the first Minotaur with a slide kick, but there would be more Minotaurs behind.
The Minotaurs' hooves alone could trample the Grey Dwarves to death. After figuring out the Grey Dwarves' plan, Suhlen didn't have much hope for them. If he let them go, they would definitely suffer heavy losses. Suhlen still needed these Grey Dwarves to help him mine and forge equipment. How could he bear to see them die? If they were all dead, who would forge equipment for him?
"Where are the ballistae? Prepare to load them! "Suhlen ordered." All Grey Dwarves, fall back and get into formation! "
"My Lord, please believe in our strength. We Dwarves will completely crush these idiots!" Barton quickly said when he saw Suhlen's stance, strongly urging them to fight. However, Suhlen didn't think much of it and forbade them from acting on their own.
Against the Minotaurs, Suhlen's plan was to use the ballistae to attack first, then let the Barbarian Warriors and Centaur Heavy Cavalry charge. Most of the Barbarian Warriors had leveled up to Barbarian Berserkers, and normal Minotaurs were no match for them. Only the Berserk Minotaurs could contend with them.
The Centaur Heavy Cavalry wasn't weak either. When they ran, even the Minotaurs wouldn't be able to withstand their momentum. First, use the ballistae to disrupt the Minotaurs' formation, then use the Barbarian Warriors and Centaur Heavy Cavalry to launch a surprise attack. The Gnomes' archers would suppress the enemy with a rain of arrows, and the Grey Dwarves' defenders would attack. Suhlen quickly came up with the plan.
However, the casualties in a battle like this would definitely not be low. In order to reduce the casualties, he would have to rely on Kris, Hathaway, and Karina's spells.
"Hathaway, prepare your spells. Release them when the Minotaurs get close!" Suhlen called Hathaway and the others over and had them prepare their spells.
"Don't worry, we'll treat those Minotaurs well!" Hathaway said excitedly. She was very interested in the Minotaurs right now. She planned to find a few Minotaurs' corpses and bring them to the lab for research after the battle.
The underground world was very dim. Even with the fire still burning in the camp, it still looked a little hazy. Muffled sounds echoed in the underground cavern. The ground under their feet trembled slightly. The Minotaurs rushed over with a violent aura.
Their three meter tall bodies made them look like little giants. Even the Barbarian Warriors, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, stopped underestimating them. Their expressions became very serious. The Centaur Heavy Cavalry also had the same expression.
The whole army was excited!
Boost Morale (Advanced)!
Advanced Group Haste!
AoE Magic Weapon!
Reduce enemy defense!
Rays of light flashed from Suhlen's body. In an instant, all the Northern Citadel troops were buffed with all kinds of spells. The morale of the Northern Citadel troops soared. Their eyes were filled with fighting spirit as they looked at the Minotaurs in the distance!
Seeing that the Minotaurs were about four hundred yards away, Suhlen directly cast a Silence spell on the Minotaur Shaman. The Shaman was about to buff the Minotaur Shaman when he suddenly felt a strange membrane surrounding his body. The originally active elemental energy was also blocked by this membrane.
All of his spells couldn't be cast at this moment. The Minotaur Shaman was directly crippled. After losing the Shaman, the Minotaurs' combat power was reduced by at least 20%. The Minotaurs in their berserk state began to charge. Several hundred Minotaurs in heavy armor charged forward with great momentum. The sound of their hooves hitting the ground was like muffled thunder.
"Ballistae, fire!"
"Bang bang bang!" With Suhlen's order, thirty ballistae immediately fired. Thirty three meter long spears with powerful momentum shot towards the Minotaurs army.
One of the Minotaurs at the front was directly hit by a spear. Their high-quality heavy armor couldn't block the ballistae's attack. An ear-piercing metallic sound echoed. In the next second, that Minotaur's body was pierced by a ballista. Blood crazily gushed out of his body. Even the Minotaurs with powerful constitutions couldn't resist being hit by a ballista.
Seeing the state of their companions, these Minotaurs became even more furious. Their chests were fiercely heaving up and down as they kept breathing out white mist from their nostrils. The hot breath they exhaled condensed into steam in the air. Their muscles bulged and their veins bulged like earthworms. Their eyes were bloodshot.
The ballistae kept firing, but the quality of the Minotaurs' shields was clearly very good. After piercing through the shields, the ballistae lost their penetrative power. The centaurs on the side stamped their hooves a few times and prepared to charge.
"Charm!" At this time, Chrissy took the initiative to make a move.
A pink light flashed from Chrissy's body and then swept across the Minotaurs. Immediately after, many of the Minotaurs who were charging suddenly stopped. Their originally bloodshot eyes became blank.
But after a mere breath, these Minotaurs suddenly swung their axes and attacked the other Minotaurs around them. The Minotaurs who were attacked reacted quickly and raised their weapons to counterattack. In an instant, the charging Minotaurs army became chaotic.
Seeing this situation, Suhlen naturally wouldn't let go of this opportunity. He directly led the barbarians and centaurs to charge. The distance of three hundred meters only took a few breaths. Suhlen led the barbarians and centaurs to fiercely crash into the chaotic Minotaurs.
