How co there are so many elves?
As they watched the clusters of long-eared figures erging from the forests on both sides, the two human rcenary captains instinctively glanced at each other, each seeing a hint of shock in the others eyes.
Eternal Lord Above!
Are we hallucinating?
However, their n falling on the outskirts, killed by arrows, assured them that this was certainly not an illusion!
No! Impossible! The Elven Forest couldnt possibly have so many elves! Furthermore, the elves I know wouldnt be this aggressive! They must be impostors!
Cynthia exclaid.
anwhile, Keynes squinted, then glanced back at the only Silver-ranked mage in their rcenary group.
The Silver-ranked mage, catching the captains gaze, instantly understood his underlying aning and began to chant a spell, casting an appraisal spell towards the approaching elves
A few monts passed and astonishnt flickered across the mages face.
T-They are indeed elves!
Keynes took in a sharp breath.
Real elves?
To instantly surround their force of over five thousand rcenaries in just a short span indicates that the enemy clearly outnumbered them!
All these crazy looking guys are real elves?
These long-eared beings that almost went extinctsince when have they beco so common?
Where did all these elves co from anyway?
For a mont, Keyness puzzlent outweighed the gravity of being surrounded.
However, he also noticed that although these elves outnumbered them, the individual strength of each of these elves was limited as well
Based on his estimates, most had just low or interdiate Iron-rank strength, with only a few upper Iron-rankers, let alone Silver-rank experts.
With a glint in his eyes, Kaynes quickly shouted, Their rank strength is weak! Everyone, hold your formation and counterattack! Lets crush and capture them all! They are a valuable treasures!
Their captains command swept through the group, restoring order among the chaotic rcenaries, as their spirits lifted by his words.
Moreover, the excitent of seeing elves began to spread again among the rcenaries
After all these were elves!
And elves practically ant gold and riches!
If they could sohow capture one, then those who succeed in doing so could live lavishly for a lifeti!
And here in this remote location theres not just hundreds but thousands of them!
There was no need to consider where these elves ca from, just as long as they knew they were real elves!
Although most of them hadnt personally fought elves, it was quite common knowledge in their line of work that elves, in general, were weaker and averse to violence
Thus, at this mont, the rcenaries who had fallen to the barrage of arrows were quickly overshadowed by the allure of gold.
Although the charging elves seed to be ferocious, the rcenaries fighting spirit was just as equally high.
The rushing elves intense gaze hinted at ferocity, but the rcenaries hearts burned with a fierce fighting spirit.
Here on the borderlands, the rcenaries were all hardened desperadoes who thrived on danger and the pursuit of wealth.
Therefore even though everyone now realized that sothing was off with these elves, they still beca excited.
And soon after, the elves charging at the forefront finally collided with the rcenaries.
In that initial mont of engagent, the rcenaries at the front swiftly changed their expressions.
They felt as if these elves rushing towards them were like imnsely powerful beasts, knocking them dizzy and almost causing them to vomit blood
The elven vanguards charging ahead donned formidable armor, brandishing giant swords and shields adorned with shimring enchantnts. Their faces contorted into wild grins, exuding an aura of madness as they advanced.
They were the players who had chosen the tank warrior jobclass.
Different from the more balanced rcenaries, these elves almost exclusively focused on increasing their toughness especially in close range lee combat.
Though they sowhat lacked the agility and their attack output damage isnt that particularly high, each individual was as hard as a rock.
Coupled with the various support spells from druid and mage players behind them, the rcenaries were shocked to find that they couldnt break through the defenses of these elven tanks at all!
These were clearly elves, but more dressed heavily, looking like mountains of flesh. With thunderous steps, they surged into the midst of the rcenaries, leaving chaos in their wake.
They couldnt defeat the rcenaries, but they didnt engage in prolonged combat either, mostly just ignoring the attacks landing upob them, whilst laughing madly as they rampaged through the enemy crowd
They were like tempests, stirring up the ticulously arranged formations of the rcenaries as the enemys blades fell upon them, splashing blood, with even so occasional stray arrows being shot by elven archers causing friendly fire.
However, these elven tanks paid no heed to their injuries, showing no pain nor fear and only laughing in joy as they slaughtered through the crowd at the forefront
This surreal scene stunned the rcenaries.
By the Eternal Lord! Where did these reckless lunatics co from?
anwhile, the elves in the rear were invigorated after seeing how the tanks were performing, taking the opportunity to also charge into the enemy formation and engage the rcenaries in lee combat.
These guys were the real damage dealers!
Their bodies glowed with vibrant energy, each flicker signaling a skill in action. Trailblazing behind the tanks, they surged into the fray, slashing at the rcenaries left dazed by the tank players onslaught.
Likewise, the mages and druids stationed in the rear also made their mark, fervently chanting incantations while hurling various spells such as fireballs or torrents of wind into the battlefield following the frontline tanks.
For a mont, clashes of blades flashed everywhere, as battle cries echoed throughout the battlefield whilst spells erupted in rapid succession, each explosion punctuated by the anguished screams of slaughtered rcenaries.
With just a glance, the elves unleashed devastation upon the rcenaries. So were brutally slain, their bodies torn asunder by the elves swords, while others were mangled by their powerful spells. Strangely, the fallen bodies even vanished into ashes, leaving behind an unsettling mystery.
At this mont, the rcenaries finally realized that these peculiar elves were nothing like the peace-loving elves they had encountered or heard about in folklores.
They were truly fighting without fear of death!
That predatory gaze and that bloodthirsty grin were definitely not fake!
These elves were a bunch of lunatics!
Seeing their formations crumbling almost instantly under the charge of the elves, the expressions of the two rcenary captains changed slightly.
It seed that the overall strength of these elves exceeded their imagination.
However, even so, the two did not panic.
The number of both sides was simply too large.
In fact, those truly engaged in combat were only those on positioned at the forefront.
Moreover, the individual strength of these elves was not high, and the rcenaries side still had their silver-ranked experts who had yet to join the conflict.
The two captains exchanged a glance, nodding in agreent, preparing to command their silver-ranked subordinates to finally join the battle.
However, at this mont, the rcenaries formation suddenly erupted in cries of alarm
On the hillside in the distance, huge boulders burning with flas suddenly flew up.
Amidst the piercing winds and billowing smoke, the boulders soared through the air, tracing an ominous path before slamming into the heart of the rcenaries ranks
With the elves surrounding them, the rcenaries already compressed formation beca even tighter at this mont.
Facing the descending boulders, they couldnt dodge at all.
In a deafening eruption, the boulders shattered as it send forth a lethal barrage of flas and debris in its wake, reducing a cluster of rcenaries to re carnage in an instant.
Even those not directly hit were unluckily ignited by the splattering flas, causing them to scream in agony as well
As they struggled, they further disrupted the rcenaries formation and spread panic.
The two rcenary captains expressions shifted noticeably as they observed the imposing contraptions perched upon the hillside.
Trebuchets!
But imdiately after, the rcenaries heard a sudden barrage of curses from the elves side:
Fuck! Who allowed the use trebuchets!?
Idiots, dont you know trebuchets dont give EXP?!
Damn it a lot of em died too! My experience points and contribution all wasted pointlessly like that!
My heart hurts! My heart hurts so much!
No trebuchets, okay? Like, seriously, can we please ban the use of these in this battle!?
Their voices were filled with strong indignation and grievance.
Listening to the elves complaints
For a mont, the rcenaries were left utterly dumbfounded.
