Chapter 127 - 127: 125 Thunderbolt Chariot
The most exaggerated of them all was the leader of the Angry Horn Clan, Bloodhorn, who had a gigantic lightning totem pillar with constantly raging electric arcs on it.
In addition to the effect of the weapon held in the hands of ordinary
Minotaurs, it seemed to greatly increase the attack power of the wielder.
Every time Bloodhorn swung this gigantic totem pillar, it was accompanied by a tremendous flash of lightning and thunder.
What seemed like just a casual jump strike, ended up directly blasting away a deep pit within a two-meter diameter around the target.
Unfortunate members of the Soaring Dragon Legion who were within the attack range were either directly flung away by Bloodhorn’s massive pillar or knocked back by the fierce thunder.
Nearly two thousand Angry Horn Minotaurs, armed with lightning weapons and led by their leader Bloodhorn, plowed through the countless monsters of the Soaring Dragon Legion as if no one stood in their way.
Far above in the sky, Otto wore a solemn face. Was this Minotaur part of the Zhao family? It was as if he was playing a one-man show…
Fortunately, there weren’t too many Angry Horn Minotaurs. Despite their excellent individual combat skills, they began to suffer casualties under the sheer numerical difference.
Soon, Rita arrived with her Centaur Cavalry.
The faint magical glow on the heavy armor worn by the female Centaur leader suddenly flared up.
As she charged at breakneck speed, violent electric arcs enveloped her. A great portion of the lightning even attached to the long spear in her hand.
In an instant, Rita became an unstoppable Thunderbolt Chariot, directly crashing into the sea of monsters ahead.
The dense swarm of monsters couldn’t stop the charge of this female Centaur, as Rita’s Thunderbolt Chariot sent one creature after another flying, with broken limbs and battered bodies.
About a thousand Centaur Cavalry followed behind Rita, holding their long spears and reaping through the scattered monsters.
Blue-headed Chimeras also continuously spewed their Lightning Breath onto the monsters of the Soaring Dragon Legion.
With a combined force of only around three thousand Angry Horn Minotaurs and Swift Spear Centaurs, they managed to halt the advance of the countless Soaring Dragon Legion monsters with the aid of the Blue-headed Chimeras.
Although there was a huge gap in numbers, both sides fought an evenly matched battle in a short time.
Flying on the edge of the battlefield, Otto could see clearly that while the valiant Minotaurs and Centaurs continued to suffer casualties, their losses were far less compared to his own minions.
Roughly estimating, the current casualty ratio was about ten to one, with the Soaring Dragon Legion being the ten.
Although most of the fallen were low-ranking monsters like Gnolls and Lizardmen, their numbers couldn’t be underestimated.
More importantly, their opponents were simply too strong. Although the Soaring Dragon Legion also had Minotaurs among its ranks, they paled in comparison to the ones from the Angry Horn Clan.
While the battle didn’t seem to be going smoothly, it wasn’t time for Otto to intervene yet, especially since the core Ogre Blue Storm Clan from the Thunder Legion had not yet made their move.
Moreover, the powerful Torsion Ballistae had been quiet after firing a single shot at Otto earlier.
Finally, Gaz led several hundred Wolf Cavalry into the center of the battlefield.
However, these Wolf Cavalry did not cooperate with the main force of the Soaring Dragon Legion to encircle the Swift Spear Centaurs and Angry Horn Minotaurs. Instead, they chose to bypass the main battlefield and charge directly towards the towers that were still continuously pouring arrows down.
Rita noticed Gaz’s intention and immediately changed direction, leading her trusted troops to intercept the Wolf Cavalry.
She couldn’t maintain a state similar to the Thunderbolt Chariot any longer. It was a special ability derived from her equipment that couldn’t be used continuously for an extended period.
With a faster speed than the Wolf Cavalry, the Centaurs led by Rita caught up with the wolf riders’ troops after making some of their subordinates remain behind to intercept the Soaring Dragon Legion’s monsters.
After noticing that the majority of the riders atop the Wargs were Goblins and Lizardmen, the female Centaur let out a look of disdain.
With this level of opponents, even if she had only brought a hundred Centaurs, they could easily defeat them.
Gaz, who led the Wolf Cavalry, looked back at the Centaurs almost catching up and yelled to Link who was next to him: “You lead the Werewolves to destroy those Arrow Towers while I, the Goblins, and Lizardmen stay behind to intercept these Centaurs!”
At this point, Link didn’t stand on ceremony, directly nodded and led more than 30 Werewolf Cavaliers, quickly charging towards the Arrow Towers.
The mounts of the Werewolves were the stronger Dire Wolves that, if running at full speed, they could be slightly faster than the Centaurs, but their endurance was far inferior.
As the Werewolves were about to distance themselves, Rita anxiously wanted to speed up and give chase, but she was stopped by an extremely powerful
Goblin.
“Where do you think you’re going?”
Gaz grinned. revealing his rows of yellow teeth.
Rita sneered as she stared at Gaz, considering this Goblin already dead in her eyes.
Meanwhile, the situation for the Angry Horn Minotaurs was becoming less optimistic. After the departure of the powerful Swift Spear Centaur leader Rita, their pressure started to increase.
Originally, they relied on their special lightning weapons and the bravery of their leader Bloodhorn to resist the onslaught of the Soaring Dragon Legion’s
army.
But now, their previously undefeated leader faced two strong enemies,
Little Fatty and Wuga, two powerful Dragonborn Ogres, wielding weapons and surrounding Bloodhorn from both sides.
The Thunder Shock that could easily send Gnolls flying had no effect on these two large fellows.
Although his personal strength was quite formidable, he wouldn’t easily lose even when confronted with two powerful Dragonborn Ogres alone.
However, without his powerful deterrence, his clan members couldn’t cope with the endless waves of monsters.
Fortunately, the Blue-headed Chimera still held an absolute advantage in the aerial battlefield.
With more than seventy powerful Blue-headed Chimeras, paired with other monsters of the Thunder Legion, they completely dominated the aerial battlefield while easily diverting half of the Chimeras to continue breathing lightning storms upon the ground battle.
At this moment, the Ogre Bluefury Clan finally joined the fray.
With their bloated bodies, they couldn’t keep up with the Minotaurs and Centaurs.
Following the Ogre arrival were Ogre Magicians and Minotaur Shamans who had just recovered a little mana.
Before the thousand Ogres wielding giant axes or maces rushed into the battlefield, more than a dozen sparse lightning bolts flew towards their targets from the hands of these spellcasters, with decent results.
But then, outrageously large fireballs flew out from the direction of the Soaring Dragon Legion, smashing into the charging Ogre Bluefury Clan and causing a moment of chaos..
