?Following General Scoll's order, the two groups comprised of combatants from the Transcendent Realm stepped forward. They had retreated and ended up on either side Alliance of Kingdoms' troops. But now, they walked forward and put themselves between the Alliance's troops and the Flesh Golem.
The group led by the Lightning Rascals stepped in front of the group led by Silver Knight. The Lightning Rascals' group roused their magic and prepared to launch an offensive maneuver. Silver Knight's group took up defensive and supportive positions around Silver Knight as the person, whose appearance was entirely hidden by a suit of metal armor, transformed their lance into a ballista.
The Lightning Rascals would lead the charge against the Flesh Golem, and the Silver Knight's squad would provide supportive fire from afar.
"Puppeteer, offensive formation!"
The two special attack divisions weren't the only ones going up against the Flesh Golem. The Golden Puppeteer also obeyed General Scoll's order and stepped forward with his golden box in his arms. After a few steps, the Golden Puppeteer opened the box and let out a slew of golden phantoms that gradually took the shape of wolves as they appeared on the battlefield.
The Golden Wolf Legion wasn't as mana-hungry as the Golden Gorilla Legion due to its much simpler construction and design. But that didn't mean it was any weaker. The Golden Wolf Legion just wasn't as complicated as the Golden Gorillas. It was just that the Golden Wolves were more specialized. They didn't do both defense and offense. And their offense wasn't as wild and rampaging as the gorillas'.
The Golden Wolf Legion moved like a real wolf pack as it hunted its target using numbers and cooperation. The Golden Wolf Legion was capable of taking down targets more powerful than the Golden Gorilla Legion, thanks to their combined might and cooperation. Now it only remained to be seen if they could deal with the Flesh Golem.
The Golden Wolf Legion split up and flanked the Lightning Rascals' group on either side. With everyone in position, only one thing remained. The order to move.
"Attack!"
As soon as General Scoll's voice rang out, the battle began.
The Flesh Golem and the Lightning Rascal's group, flanked on either side by the Golden Wolf Legion, charge toward each other.
The mages and fighters capable of launching attacks from a distance initiated the attack on the Flesh Golem. The mages from both special attack divisions attacked and cast their magic. The magic didn't do much damage due to the Flesh Golem's sturdy defenses, but it cleared a path and obscured the view of the Flesh Golem. That allowed the real opening attack to strike true. That was the thought, at least.
The Flesh Golem noticed the silver ballista bolt right before it struck and managed to twist its body. However, it couldn't avoid the bolt completely, and it pierced its shoulder with enough force to decrease the momentum of the Flesh Golem's charge.
The Flesh Golem reached up and pulled out the bolt, not showing any pain as the barbs on the bolt tore through the grey, bloodless flesh. The Flesh Golem drew back the arm holding the bolt and prepared to throw it. However, before the bolt left the Flesh Golem's hand, it disappeared.
Silver Knight dispelled the silver bolt right before the Flesh Golem could throw it at the incoming combatants. Since the bolt disappeared right when the Flesh Golem was about to release it, the Flesh Golem lost its balance and stumbled slightly.
The Flesh Golem hurried to fix its balance and stand upright again. But its massive body was powerful and filled with strength. It didn't have enough agility to recover before Vatel's charge arrived in front of it.
Vatel flew through the air, carried by his spear, and he pushed into the Flesh Golem's shin, his spear blazing with blue lightning. The spear pierced through the Flesh Golem's thick hide and lodged itself between the shin bone and the solid mass of muscle.
Vatel felt the back of his neck tingle, and he hurried to retreat, leaving his spear behind. His spear was stuck, and trying to pull it out would take too much time.
Vatel was lucky enough to avoid the Flesh Golem's incoming fist with slightly more than a hair. But his spear wasn't as lucky.
"My spear! It was brand new, you ugly shitstain!"
"Vatel! Focus on the battle!"
Vatel didn't need Hassandra's voice to remind him since he already held a new spear in his hand that he used to poke the Flesh Golem's wrist. The Flesh Golem hurried to retract its fist from the ground it had punched when it missed Vatel and snapped his spear instead.
Vatel ignored the crumbled remains of his spear, and he unleashed a flurry of stabs into the hole he had opened up before he was forced to roll to the side to avoid the Flesh Golem's foot.
While the Flesh Golem's foot was still in the air, Vatel stood up and joined the golden wolves as they dove toward the back of the Flesh Golem's other leg.
Thanks to the Flesh Golem's size, there was no lack of space for Vatel and two of the wolves to attack. Since Vatel had the greatest singular damage between the three of them, he went for the Flesh Golem's heel. By severing the Flesh Golem's tendon while it stood on one leg, they might be able to bring it to the ground, even if it didn't feel any pain.
While Vatel reached out with his spear toward the Flesh Golem's heel, the two wolves jumped up toward the Flesh Golem's knee and back thigh. Their aim was undoubtedly similar To Vatel's.
Vatel and the two golden wolves launched their attack while the Flesh Golem, who noticed their movements, hurried to put down his other leg. However, Vatel wasn't alone, and neither were the two wolves. There was an entire special attack division and a wolf pack supporting them.
