The sudden appearance of the underground creatures a few hundred meters away shocked everyone.
They … no, it seemed to be them. Although they stood on two feet like the intelligent creatures on the surface and had their hands free, their bodies were covered in dense scales. Their vertical pupils, which had degenerated in the dark environment, reflected a faint luster.
Their legs were oppositely jointed and they relied on their tails to support their bodies. Unlike the orcs of the Ryan Empire, they were closer to animals than humans, which was a broad definition of intelligent creatures.
Fiona exclaimed, "Lizardmen!"
Tang En was stunned. "Do you know them?"
"There are corresponding records in some legends about the underground world."
Fiona whispered, "They are cold-blooded creatures. Some scholars think that they are the failed creations of the dark gods, but some scholars think that they are the same as gnomes and goblins. They evolved naturally and are primitive half-orcs in a transitional period..."
"Let's not talk about this."
Tang En interrupted Fiona. "Just tell us if they can communicate and if they have intelligence."
Compared to their origins, Tang En was clearly more concerned about whether or not these lizardmen could communicate with them. This was because Tang En had already seen that they were wearing armor and holding weapons — those things were obviously brought in by the adventurers from the surface world.
"This... According to the records, these lizardmen seem to..."
Before Fiona could finish speaking, Tang En interrupted her again. "Okay, you don't have to say anymore."
When the lizardmen saw them, they immediately pulled out their weapons.
"(Lizardman language) Hiss... Food... So much..."
"Food... Better... Than... Mushrooms..."
"Kill them... Food..."
Thanks to the Golden Thigh Cheat given to him by the Goddess, Tang En did not have to painstakingly learn various foreign languages in this world. He could clearly understand the conversation between the lizardmen. The intermittent conversation was not because of his understanding, but because the lizardmen's intelligence was only so little.
They were similar to the dwarves' archenemy, the cavemen.
"My Lord?"
He was a little nervous in the face of unfamiliar enemies. He held the hilt of his sword tightly and asked Tang En for his opinion.
Fight? Or run?
Then, he drew his sword without waiting for Tang En to answer.
Because the lizardmen had already started charging towards them!
They let out strange cries one after another, running and jumping as they rushed over!
Locke roared, "Kill them!"
"Oh!!!"
Their anti-joint legs gave them an advantage when they charged forward. It would be unwise to fight them head-on. Depp immediately came up with a plan to deal with them.
Depp raised his tower shield and slammed it against the ground. His entire body was stuck behind the shield. "Shield Warriors, get into a defensive formation! He stepped forward and lowered his shield to welcome the reunion! In the Ranger group, Danny prepared to fire two rounds of rapid fire suppressive fire! Warriors, prepare to counter-charge after the suppressive fire is over! Tear apart their formation! Elsa, do whatever you want! "
"Understood!"
Ellington's soldiers roared, their blood boiling.
Unlike the Shadow Lurkers from before, the Lizardmen and Humans were about the same size. They were more like evenly matched opponents. This was the kind of battle that Warriors yearned for.
"Innate Gift — Eagle Eye, activate!"
Danny's eyes suddenly sharpened. He drew his bow and nocked an arrow. Suddenly, a violent whirlwind appeared on the arrow. He shouted, "Homing Arrow is ready. Ranger team, prepare to fire the first round!"
The Rangers quickly nocked their arrows and aimed them at the sky.
With a burst of strength under his feet, Danny leaped up. Then, he locked onto the center of the lizardmen's formation with the guided arrow in his hand and instantly fired it. "Shoot!"
The Homing Arrows left a dazzling trail of light behind them as they flew towards the Lizardmen!
Bang! Bang! Bang! The others released their bowstrings, and a dense rain of arrows flew into the sky. Then, under the effect of Danny's Homing Arrow, the rain of arrows changed direction and chased after the Homing Arrow towards the lizardmen.
The well-made sharp arrowheads easily tore through the lizardmen's armor and penetrated their scales. Hissing sounds could be heard from the front, but the rain of arrows did not stop the lizardmen from charging forward. Even if their bodies were full of arrows, they still continued to charge forward.
Even though some of the Lizardmen had shields in their hands, they had no intention of blocking the arrows. Instead, they continued to charge forward.
After the second volley of arrows, a dozen Lizardmen had already fallen on the ground. However, the number of Lizardmen that remained was nowhere to be seen.
"Prepare for the attack!"
Depp had barely finished his words when the Lizardmen's Charge arrived!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
When the weapon hit the shield, a huge force was transmitted from the shield to the ground, causing the entire cave to tremble.
The Shield Warriors led by Depp held on to their tower shields with all their might. Even though their feet were being pushed back by the Lizardmen's attacks, they still maintained their formation.
"Bang!"
When the Lizardmen saw that their weapons were ineffective, they raised their shields and smashed them into the Shield Warriors!
A red light flashed across the Shield Warrior's body. Even though he had activated his Blood Force, he was still sent flying by the immense force.
Locke was shocked. "What strength!"
These Lizardmen lived in the cruel Underworld. Their physique was much stronger than that of Ellington's Warriors.
Hiss! Hiss!
A gap appeared in the Shield Warriors' line of defense. The Lizardmen hissed and charged towards the gap, attacking it with all their might. The pressure on the two Shield Warriors on both sides of the gap suddenly increased.
Whoosh!
Locke was about to rush over to help, but an arrow suddenly flew under his arm. The sharp steel arrowhead easily pierced through the Lizardman's scales and buried itself in its head.
Locke was so scared that he broke out in cold sweat. "Danny! Watch carefully, you bastard! "
Danny jumped onto a mushroom and shot three arrows backhandedly. He said casually, "I'm paying attention!"
Even though Danny's help had greatly reduced the pressure on the Shield Warriors, the Shield Warriors didn't have time to close the gap. A few Lizardmen had already rushed in and were fighting with the Shield Warriors in close combat. The Shield Warriors couldn't organize a counterattack.
"Let me!"
With a shout, Elsa put away her two-handed greatsword and grabbed the tower shield that had fallen to the side. She charged forward like a chariot. "Get out of my way! Ahhhh!"
Ellington's Warriors heard Elsa's voice and their faces changed. They hurriedly opened up a path for her.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
Thump! Thump! Thump! Any Lizardman that stood in front of Elsa was sent flying. She didn't stop there. She charged through the gap and directly into the Lizardmen's ranks.
Depp originally wanted to organize the Shield Warriors to close the gap, but when he saw that Elsa had attracted the Lizardmen's attention, he changed his mind. "Shield Warriors, raise your shields! Shield Charge! Warriors, prepare for the second round of charges! "
One by one, the Shield Warriors raised their tower shields. With Depp at the center of the formation, they roared and charged towards the enemy with their Shield Charge!
The huge tower shields smashed into the lizardmen's bodies. Along with the huge impact, the lizardmen were stunned for a short moment. Following that, the shield warriors raised the auxiliary weapons in their hands. Some were short swords, some were short spears, and some were short knives. They launched a fierce counterattack against the lizardmen.
However, the Lizardmen's scales were very hard. They were similar to the new fish scale armor that the Shield Warriors wore. They could effectively disperse the impact of attacks. Short weapons that weren't imbued with Blood Force couldn't even break through the Lizardmen's defenses. At best, they could cause some disturbance.
"Retreat!"
As soon as the Lizardmen recovered from their stun, Depp and the Shield Warriors retreated. Then, the main force of the battle rushed out from behind them — the Warriors!
Warriors were a very broad concept. They were Shield Warriors who were good at using tower shields, Berserkers who were good at dual-wielding weapons, Battle Axe Fighters who were good at using battle axes and chopping techniques, Warhammer Messengers who were good at using hammering techniques, Swordsmen who were good at using one-handed swords, Swordsmen who were good at dual-wielding one-handed swords, Greatsword Messengers who were good at dual-wielding two-handed swords, and so on. They were all Warrior Professions. Although each profession had its own subdivision, the Prandal people were used to calling them Warriors.
It couldn't be helped. After all, their Awakened Innate Skills were quite similar.
The biggest difference between them was the weapon they specialized in and the armor they chose to complement their weapon. Therefore, adventurers often grouped their Warriors into one team.
However, Ellington's Guards were basically just ordinary Warriors. They didn't specialize in the weapons they were good at. Or rather, because of Tang En's Iron Slashing Sword, they all had the tendency to develop into Swordsmen.
The warriors charged forward with all kinds of weapons in their hands. Using the force of the impact, they stabbed their weapons, which were infused with blood energy, into the lizardmen's limbs. When charging, the best way to use a sword was to stab, not to slash.
The Iron Slashing Sword's carefully designed blood slot would cause tearing wounds, making it difficult for the wounds to heal. It could be called a killing machine.
Not only that, but some of the Warriors who performed well were also rewarded with a permanent spell. When their weapons pierced the Lizardmen's bodies, they took the opportunity to cast a permanent spell — "Explode! Shatter! Flame Blast! "
"Let the hurricane tear your body apart — Whirlwind!"
"Give you the Funeral of Ice — Frost Nova!"
Listening to these Chuunibyou slogans, Tang En showed a strange smile. Once upon a time, he also fantasized about shouting and casting spells like this. Now, he gave them this opportunity. Seeing them shouting all kinds of shameful slogans with fanatical faces, Tang En's bad taste was once again satisfied.
However, because the Warriors' strength varied, some of them couldn't break through the Lizardmen's defense. Instead, the Lizardmen seized the opportunity and fiercely counterattacked.
As a result, the Lizardmen and the Lizardmen clashed for a moment, and Ellington's side began to have casualties.
