482 The Scorpion Warriors Entered the City
According to the intelligence, the Scorpion race knew that there were a large number of Rune Bombs buried under the ground outside the city of the Kingdom of Dawn. In order to reduce casualties, they deliberately dug a depth of 100 meters.
As expected, the depth allowed them to avoid most of the Rune Bombs and successfully arrived below the City of Dawn.
However, they did not expect the City of Dawn to be so crazy as to plant so many Rune Bombs under the city. No matter how careful the Scorpion Warriors were, they still triggered the Rune Bombs and alerted the enemies above.
In order to make their way out as soon as possible, the chief of the Scorpion race had no choice but to sacrifice the lives of his warriors.
However, he didn’t know how the City of Dawn had set up the Rune Bombs. One explosion triggered countless Rune Bombs, causing him to lose thousands of warriors in an instant.
This kind of situation where they had suffered great losses even before they were in the battle made the Scorpion race’s chief really annoyed.
In order to save time, they lost another few thousand warriors along the way.
Therefore, as soon as they stepped on the ground, they looked around with fierce expressions and killing intent.
“Kill them all! All humans should die! Don’t leave a single one alive!”
The sound of weapons and armor clashing suddenly rang out around them.
“Ha ha! Finally! You are here. I have been waiting for you for a long time!”
A bearded commander laughed and led his army to charge over.
Ever since the Kingdom of Dawn knew that the Scorpion race could launch an attack from underground, every city had deployed troops in their respective areas, just in case.
As the main city of the Kingdom of Dawn, the army deployed here was naturally stronger. The commander leading the army was originally a Country Lord, but he later merged his country with the Kingdom of Dawn and became a Lord. However, being a Lord also required management ability, and the daily chores that he had to deal with were too many. Therefore, he handed over the management of the territory to his subordinates, and he actually joined the city guard and got to the position of assistant commander.
To him, fighting a war was what he loved the most.
When the army of the Eternal race outside the city was destroyed, he had been very disappointed. The fact that he couldn’t participate in the battle made him feel really upset.
Just as he was thinking about whether he should find an opportunity to transfer to a border city, he noticed that something was wrong nearby.
The bearded commander was overjoyed and he was also extremely calm. He immediately had the warriors hide and wait to see what would happen.
They didn’t expect that the Scorpion race would be digging a tunnel so close to them. As soon as the Scorpion race appeared, they were immediately discovered, and the bearded commander immediately brought their army over.
Looking at the Scorpion Army that was still pouring out of the hole, a glint of excitement flashed in the eyes of the bearded commander. He waved the battle spear in his hand, and he couldn’t wait to rush out and fight with the Scorpion Army.
Fortunately, he still knew what he really had to do as a commander. He waved his hand and said, “Archers, get ready! Shoot the sh*t out of them! On my command! Fire!”
“Whoosh!”
Thousands of sharp arrows were shot.
These sergeants joined the Kingdom of Dawn later on. Although they were the best of the best, their levels were still around Rank 100.
However, facing the ferocious Scorpion race, they weren’t afraid at all. They shot their arrows with strong killing intent.
After a wave of arrows, they shot again.
Each time, a thousand arrows would be shot.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
With the order of the commander, the arrows immediately were shot.
The Scorpion Warriors who just got out of the ground fell down in an instant.
“B*stard!”
The Scorpion Warriors also took action, pushing aside the arrows that were coming at them.
However, they were too few in number. With over a thousand arrows coming at them, it was difficult to make sure every Scorpion Warrior could survive.
Thus, from time to time, some Scorpion Warriors would be hit by the arrows and couldn’t get up. Some of them were even directly blown to pieces by the power of the rune of the arrows.
As the Scorpion race’s chief, Li Dong also didn’t expect that they could be so unlucky. As soon as they came out of the ground, they actually encountered the enemy’s army and had to deal with countless arrows.
He could only rely on his superb defense and powerful strength to rush to the front and push away the arrows, providing an opportunity for the warriors behind to rush out.
Only by taking more warriors out could he resolve the crisis and achieve their goal of destroying the Kingdom of Dawn.
“Everyone! Charge with me!”
The Scorpion race’s chief had fought hundreds of battles. He knew that if they just defended, all of them would die in the rain of arrows. He had to rush forward and fought against these human warriors head-on to make their way out.
Thus, they raised their defenses and charged at the human army with their spears.
After all, they were in the city, and the human army was not far away. It was only a few hundred meters. He was confident that his army could crush the human army.
Furthermore, they did not have to worry about Rune Bombs on the ground, so they were even less afraid.
No matter how crazy the humans were, they would never bury Rune Bombs in their daily residences!
Therefore, as long as they could make it through, they would have a chance of survival.
“Kill them all!”
When the big beard commander saw this, his eyes lit up.
He didn’t dare to go against the military law and fight with the enemy directly, but if the enemy charged toward them, then he couldn’t be blamed.
When he saw the enemy charging at him, he immediately roared, “Archers, lock on to the hole behind them and keep shooting. The rest of you, those who brandish swords, follow me!”
Right after he finished his words, he jumped out. He smashed his long spear directly at the Scorpion race’s Black Rock tribe’s chief, Li Dong, who was charging at the forefront.
“Boom!”
Li Dong was also shocked. He quickly raised his spear and placed it horizontally. The long spear actually made him step backward and he almost couldn’t stand still.
He was the chief of the Scorpion race’s Black Rock tribe, but now he was forced to retreat by a common human commander.
At the thought of this, he was kind of annoyed. He roared and rushed forward again.
The big beard commander chuckled and wielded the war spear in his hand. He suddenly moved forward and poked with his spear. He was as fast as lightning and went straight for the chief’s chest.
“Dang!”
Li Dong blocked this attack, but the huge force made him take two steps back again. This time, he was totally irritated.
The strength of this human commander had far exceeded his expectations.
At this moment, the archers behind the big beard commander were fully focused. In just a few seconds, hundreds of Scorpion Warriors had died.
“You all are going to die here!”
Li Dong shouted in anger. A layer of Black Qi appeared on his face and body.
This Black Qi was toxic. As long as his enemy breathed in a little, the enemy would be poisoned and his combat power would be greatly reduced. Then Li Dong could easily kill his enemy.
The big beard commander naturally knew that the Black Qi was toxic. He then put on a serious face and used his long spear to attack Li Dong. He had fairly good combat techniques and poked with his spear in directions that Li Dong could not predict. Therefore, Li Dong seemed kind of overwhelmed now.
