Hiss!
A rain of arrows, like locusts, fell upon the battlefield. The sharp arrowheads, forged from refined steel, were unstoppable. Their special structure allowed them to bleed enemies immediately upon penetration, making them extremely difficult to remove.
The ogres struck by the arrows fell to the ground, screaming and roaring in agony, yet helpless.
Through the previous charge, Wu Ming had accurately determined the range limit of this band of ogres’ ranged attacks, as well as the spell range of the ogre warlock. The several mounted archery attacks were precisely timed, skillfully avoiding enemy attacks, leveraging mobility and archery skills to wear down the enemy.
This was the cavalry archery tactic!
“Continue, don’t stop!”
Wu Ming, with ample resources, had brought hundreds of arrows on this expedition. After several volleys, the number of standing ogres had dwindled significantly.
However, the ogre warlock, protected by several ogres wielding crude wooden shields, remained unscathed. His pair of blood-red eyes glared at Wu Ming, as if wishing to tear off a piece of him.
He muttered a few unintelligible words, and the remaining ogres immediately retreated behind the few available shields, forming a tight formation, like a giant turtle shell.
Ding ding!
Although the shields used by the ogres were roughly made, they were quite thick. The arrows striking the shields produced dull sounds, quickly turning the formation into a hedgehog-like defense, yet remaining unbreakable.
“It’s time for close combat. Charge!”
Wu Ming let go, releasing a cloud of poison powder over the shield formation, which was then countered by a green potion the warlock pulled out from somewhere.
Seeing this, he dropped his bow and suddenly launched a charge.
“Neigh!”
The horses neighed fiercely. Although only five knights charged, their momentum was like that of a thousand troops, like an iron flood rushing forward.
With the prestige of having killed over eighty ogres previously, the remaining ogres became immediately disordered.
It seemed that if not for the presence of the ogre warlock, they would have already scattered in panic.
“Screech!”
Upon hearing the previous curse scream, Wu Ming waved his hand, and the previously tight formation immediately changed, skillfully avoiding the blood-red magical light.
Seeing this, the ogre warlock’s eyes flashed with a vicious gleam. Suddenly, he tore off a necklace made of unknown animal bones and teeth from his neck and slammed it onto the ground.
Boom!
A curtain of light exploded, barely enveloping the ogres.
Under the emerald glow, many ogres roared, seemingly regaining their energy, and even small wounds on their bodies began to heal automatically.
“AoE buff spell?”
In the world of Xianwu, Wu Ming could easily dispel such minor spells with a shout. However, seeing it suddenly appear now, it was indeed somewhat troublesome.
In the world of Sier, where magical forces were quite rare, such power was undoubtedly the most inspiring and mysterious.
Bang!
But at this moment, thinking about anything was too much.
The next moment, a deafening roar came, as the horses crashed violently into the shield formation, causing the front-line shield-bearing ogre warriors to spit blood and fly backward, their chests sunken in a large area, clearly dead.
The shocking impact, especially the ogres’ immense strength, also caused the warhorses to break bones and fall to the ground. Several knights nimbly jumped off, entering the ogre formation and beginning the most direct carnage.
“Die!”
Ava, with bloodshot eyes, swung his sword, splitting the ogre in front of him into two halves.
Clang!
Beside him, Jack suddenly extended his greatsword, blocking a flail hammer strike: “Be careful, this is the battlefield!”
Wu Ming led the charge at the front, his face as calm as water, everything around him constantly reflected in his eyes. His powerful perception allowed him to unleash two ordinary sword beams, following an incredible trajectory, directly slicing through the defensive gaps of two ogre warriors, easily breaking through their flesh and bone defenses, cutting them into four pieces.
Those who survived until now were the most ferocious warriors among the ogres, almost possessing the strength of a squire. Yet before Wu Ming’s sword, they were so easily defeated, as if they were originally just pieces of meat awaiting slaughter.
After killing these two nuisances, Wu Ming charged forward directly, chasing the ogre warlock.
Although nearly a hundred ogres had been killed today, if this warlock wasn’t also slain, it would have no impact on the ogre army.
Clearly, the ogre warlock’s melee capability was extremely low. Seeing Wu Ming charging, it could only keep retreating and shrieking, calling upon numerous ogres to come to its protection.
Unfortunately, before Wu Ming’s immense power and superb swordsmanship, these ogres were no different from cannon fodder.
However, the status of an ogre warlock within an ogre tribe was unimaginable. Despite facing someone like Wu Ming, who was like a demon, many ogre warriors still rushed forward fearlessly, using their deaths to buy a little time for the warlock.
Crunch! Crunch!
The ogre warlock stared at Wu Ming with bloodshot eyes, pulling out a piece of black flesh from its pocket and chewing it fiercely.
As black juice splattered, it loudly chanted a character and spat it toward Wu Ming.
Whoosh!
Almost the moment the black arrow formed, Wu Ming’s senses were filled with horror, as if he had seen something capable of causing significant harm to his current body.
Without hesitation, he immediately dodged to the side.
But that black short arrow seemed to have its own spirit. In mid-air, it made a turn and still aimed at Wu Ming.
“Psychic manipulation!”
He murmured in his mind. In the world of Sier, this should be a very advanced spell.
This ogre warlock, it seemed, was not a simple character even among warlocks of all generations.
Wu Ming immediately leaped up like a leopard, his body lines smooth, suddenly bursting with immense power. He grabbed an ogre and used it as a shield to block the short arrow.
Whoosh!
The black short arrow pierced the ogre’s body. The warlock’s face, however, showed a trace of triumph, suddenly shouting a syllable loudly.
In the blink of an eye, Wu Ming felt the ogre corpse in his hand transform as if into a bomb.
Boom!
Black flames exploded, the shockwave and sound wave from the explosion causing the entire battlefield to pause.
Regardless of the ogres or Ava, Jack, and the others, they couldn’t help but stop their actions, staring silently at the large black crater on the ground.
“Master!”
Bridget rushed forward regardless of anything, only to see that the original grass had already vanished, revealing a large depression in the ground, big enough to hold two giant horses.
“I’m fine!”
A black shadow flickered, and Wu Ming’s figure appeared from the side. Looking at the scorched mark on his sleeve, his expression was also extremely serious.
No matter what, he was still flesh and blood now. If hit directly by such an attack, the outcome wouldn’t be very pleasant.
“Tururu! Tururu!!!”
Seeing that Wu Ming had survived such an attack with not even a scratch, not only the remaining ogres but even the warlock wore expressions of fear, calling out the devil’s name.
Whoosh!
Seeing the opportunity, Malete raised his hand and fired an arrow. The black arrowhead, like a lightning bolt, directly embedded itself into the ogre warlock’s leg, dark red blood immediately flowing out.
“Continue the battle, kill them all!”
Wu Ming roared, his figure flickering again as he charged toward the ogre warlock.
Puchi!
The Dragon Heart Greatsword shimmered with a fluorescent blue glow, instantly severing the necks of the last two ogre guards, revealing the ogre warlock behind, dragging one leg and looking extremely disheveled.
Wu Ming kicked it over, placing the sword blade against its neck: “Don’t move! And don’t think about casting spells, or I’ll kill you!”
Rarely encountering a real spellcaster! A living specimen, his heart was filled with joy at this moment.
“Human… my soul will curse you together with the ancestral spirits!”
The ogre warlock looked deeply at Wu Ming, as if trying to etch his image into the depths of his mind, speaking in the halting language of the Windfly Plains.
“You can speak the Common Tongue? Good… now submit to me, and I can still give you the treatment of a slave!”
Wu Ming said with interest.
“Hehe…”
Who would have thought the ogre warlock only sneered a few times before suddenly chanting several characters loudly.
Compared to being a test subject, Wu Ming naturally cared more about his own safety. Immediately, his long sword was about to move forward to stop the warlock from casting an unfamiliar spell.
But by the time his sword reached out, the ogre warlock had already slumped down, a strange smile still lingering at the corner of its mouth.
“Dead?”
Wu Ming stepped forward and saw the ogre’s corpse rotting at an extremely fast speed, almost instantly turning into a pool of dark red blood.
“Master!”
Bridget stepped forward, looking at Wu Ming with concern.
Anyone witnessing such a bizarre scene and recalling the warlock’s previous words would feel their scalp tingling.
“Don’t worry! Even if it really cursed me, what of it?”
Wu Ming smiled slightly. The foundation of curse power lay in the battle of soul essence. With a trace of true spirit from a sixth-level celestial immortal, unless a seventh-level curse was used, it wouldn’t have any effect on him.
“Clean up the battlefield, we’re leaving!”
Seeing that all the ogres around had been killed, Wu Ming immediately gave orders.
He himself squatted down, sorting through the spoils from the ogre warlock.
Although the ogre had turned into a pool of pus and blood, it had carried many bottles and jars, filled with powders of unknown composition and even some human-like bones.
Wu Ming ordered Ava to pack them all up, planning to let Karitan take a look.
Although this woman had no magical power or combat ability, she had once been in contact with witches and had broad knowledge, possibly recognizing some of these items.
“Let’s go!”
After finishing everything, the group quickly left. After some time, an ogre scouting party arrived at the scene, letting out earth-shaking roars…
