483 The Bloodcorrupter
At this time, along with the rumbling sound of the Rune Bombs, a few more holes appeared on the ground, and more Scorpion Warriors came out.
The expression of the big beard commander changed slightly. He leaped back and shouted, “Sword-shield Warriors, go forward and erect your shields. Spearmen, stay behind. Archers, 2000 in a wave, cover the area and attack!”
“Yes!”
With his command, the initial 1000 arrows per wave instantly became 2000 per wave. The power of the arrow rain was even stronger, and the area it covered was even larger.
The shields of the Sword-shield Warriors were all made from special alloys by Sky Workshop. They were not heavy, but they were extremely hard and tough. They were easier to control and had a stronger defense.
The Sword-shield Warriors stayed behind their shields and they could also stick their long swords out from the gaps at any time, which made it easier for them to slash.
The Spearmen behind the Sword-shield Warriors even clamped their Spears on the shields, making the entire defensive formation look like a giant porcupine. Their enemies almost couldn’t find the weakness to attack.
At the same time, the human armies in other places who had received the news also began to divide their forces and surround this place.
“Kill them!”
The Scorpion Warriors only had two kinds of weapons in their hands. One was a battle spear, and the other was pitch-black, long, and narrow blades.
These long blades were all transformed from a certain part of the Scorpion race’s Warriors’ bodies when they were transforming. They could be considered as Associated Weapons. They were of extremely high quality and had strong growth potential.
They were extremely hard and highly toxic. There were even strange patterns on it with a special effect, which was corrupting blood.
If one was struck by this blade and failed to cut off the area of the wound in time, their entire body would be turned into pus and blood by the strange poison contained in the long blade.
Hence, this blade was also known as Bloodcorrupter.
After being infused with genuine Qi or other energy, it could withstand extremely strong power, become tough and sharp, and could cut through gold and jade. To a certain extent, it was not inferior to a Mythical divine weapon. And as its owner became stronger, it could even reach the divine grade in the future.
The Bloodcorrupter had a long blade. According to the Scorpion race’s shapes, this blade was no less than 1.6 meters long. With it in hand, the Scorpion Warrior could easily destroy anything within four meters around.
With the blade Qi, it was impossible for the enemy to approach within ten meters.
Thus, this battle blade was the most suitable weapon for the Scorpion race’s Warriors.
Of course, their battle spears were also Associated Weapons. Their attack range was even further, and they used to be the Scorpion race’s scorpion tails. The spear tip contained poison, and the spear body was tough. Its power was even stronger than that of a long blade.
Facing such a dangerous situation, these Scorpion Warriors weren’t afraid at all. They were originally transformed from ordinary scorpions without any intelligence, and their disregard for life had long become an instinct. Their eyes were cruel and cold, and even if they were in a desperate situation, they wouldn’t feel scared.
The Scorpion race had eight long legs. They were really fast. Whether they were attacking or retreating, they were as fast as lightning.
Li Xiang noticed what was going on there. He saw seven or eight holes in the ground and was surprised. “we’ve buried so many Rune Bombs underground, but the Scorpion race was still able to crawl out. It seems like they’ve sacrificed a lot of lives to create this tunnel. They’re truly cruel and ruthless. ”
“My Lord, let me go and burn these bugs to ashes!” Alice said eagerly.
Mia’s eyes were filled with excitement.
Li Xiang shook his head and said, “The Scorpion race is just some cannon fodder. The real enemy hasn’t come yet!”
“What?”
When the other people heard this, they were all shocked.
The war did not seem to last long, but that was because they had used Holy Light grade weapons. In fact, in other border cities, the foreign races were still attacking human cities, and there were humans and foreign races dying at every moment.
Even the Eternal King had been defeated. How dared other enemies come?
They seemed to be filled with doubt and confusion.
However, Li Xiang didn’t intend to explain too much.
Although there was no evidence that the Eternal King and his men had escaped the attack of Sun Wheel, the fact that the Eternal King and his flagship hadn’t been found after such a long time was enough to prove that the Eternal King had been defeated.
Seeing that Li Xiang didn’t explain, the people around could only hold their doubts and fall into deep thought. They didn’t continue to ask.
The place where the Scorpion Army had come out of was now surrounded by three layers of people. A massive amount of arrows rained down, and those Scorpion Warriors simply couldn’t break out. They could only wait for death.
Chi Chi Chi...
The dense rain of arrows came at them. Even if they could brandish their weapons flawlessly, they still couldn’t do it forever against this rain of arrows.
A prolonged defense would definitely lead to a loss. The Scorpion Warriors relied on their movement speed to dodge, defend, and charge forward.
However, in the face of the rain of arrows, they would be hit before they could get far.
If these arrows were ordinary arrows, it would be much easier for the Scorpion Warriors. However, these arrows were all Rune Arrows, and when the arrows hit their enemies, all kinds of effects would burst out. The equipment of the Scorpion race could not protect them perfectly.
The arrows would explode or freeze the Scorpion Warriors. And they would be broken into ice pieces. Even though the Scorpion race was cold and cruel, at this moment, their morale was shaken by this rain of arrows.
After all, nobody would like to fight a war that they could never win, even though they were very strong.
After a while, Ogres started rushing out from the holes in the ground.
The Ogres’ Constitutions were much stronger than the Scorpion race’s. In addition, they were wearing heavy armor and had special Constitutions against magic. Their defense against rune arrows was much more effective.
Therefore, when the Ogres rushed out of the hole, the damage from the arrows was reduced to the minimum.
The commander who was fighting with Li Dong saw this scene and was not worried.
These foreign races were surrounded by his army and could not break through.
However, the big beard commander was still worried that the Scorpion Army would come out of the ground from somewhere else. It would be troublesome if they came out of the encirclement of the human army.
However, with his current position, the big beard commander didn’t have to worry about this kind of thing. He could only stare at Li Dong in front of him and try his best to beat Li Dong.
Even though Li Dong wanted to command the army behind him, he could not do that at this time because of the big beard commander in front of him.
The arrival of the Ogres had reduced the casualties of the Scorpion Warriors, but it seemed impossible for them to break out of the encirclement and cause huge trouble for the Kingdom of Dawn.
After a few seconds, more Scorpion Warriors rushed out of the holes.
However, compared to the Scorpion race, although the Ogres’ bodies were stronger, under the violent attack of arrows, they could only hold a few seconds more before being killed.
