Chapter 145 -8: Earthwalking Dragon Warrior
Komer had already noticed a trace of worry that flickered across the face of the Barbarian Officer he had encountered once before. Earth Dragon Warriors were not adept at contending with this kind of Magical Beasts. Even though the Earthwalking Dragon appeared ferocious, its huge body was, no doubt, the best choice for a charge, but it was clear that it was ill-suited to deal with the nimble and agile Ogres. Nevertheless, with the help of the Barbarian Infantry Soldiers, the Earth Dragon Warriors still managed to achieve impressive results through risky maneuvers, proven by the two successful raids and the two female Ogres that fell under their sharp Dragon Spears. But this had only further enraged the remaining Ogres. Now, a tactical retreat from the combat was impossible. The Ogres, burning with a strong desire for revenge, were locked in a do-or-die struggle with the Barbarian Warriors. Aside from outright slaying the remaining six Ogres, there was no other way out.
“Mr. Wollin, it seems these Ogres have entered a state of frenzy. Your warriors will likely find it difficult to inflict significant damage on the Ogres with These Weapons. The Ogres’ weak spots are under their arms, in the groin, and in the throat; normal weapons are ineffective against other parts of their bodies,” Ilot couldn’t hold back his anxiety as he saw the Ogres charging through, as if entering an uninhabited land. He still carried several skins stripped from Ogres on his back, and if the Ogres broke through the ranks, their keen sense of smell would likely target him first.
“Mr. Ilot, you don’t need to teach us how to fight These Magical Beasts. We have been dealing with them far longer than you Mortals and know their vulnerabilities better than you do. But look at this, six Ogres; they have adapted to our attacks, and with the uneven terrain, we’re finding it difficult to form a complete encirclement. These creatures are cunning, using the disadvantageous terrain to break through our defensive ring. Plus, we didn’t expect to encounter Ogres on this trip, let alone eight of them; it’s just our bad luck. This area is not known for any particular Magical Beasts, so running into them was unexpected. Still, luckily, we came here on patrol and have adequate manpower; otherwise, we’d be in trouble. It’s just a pity that the weapons of our Mountain Soldiers are rather inferior, or these Ogres would have already been decapitated. Now, it seems I must take a turn,” said the man, hoisting the Dark and Thick-waisted Chopper at his side, its Shiny Knife Edge catching a glint of coldness in the Sunshine. After taking a deep breath and tightening the straps on his Thick Shield, he added, “Gentlemen, I’ve no authority to decide on territorial boundary matters, but since you have brought proof from the Lordship, I believe our Great Chieftain will provide a fair and reasonable resolution. Once we dispatch these Ogres, I shall discuss this with you in detail.”
No sooner had he said this than he prepared to leave. “Hold on, Mr. Wollin!”
Komer’s call stopped Wollin just as he was about to join the fray. By now, the Ogres had widely expanded the circle of encirclement around the Barbarian Warriors, occasionally pulling a Barbarian Warrior from the defensive line with the cover of other Ogres. The robust Barbarian Warriors were torn apart effortlessly like puppets in the hands of the immensely strong Ogres, their gory viscera flung to the ground, the thick scent of blood mingling with the toxic fumes emanating from the poison glands under the Ogres’ arms, spreading throughout the Battlefield. Even under the bright sun, the atmosphere made one feel as if they were entering hell itself.
“Lord, is there something else? I have urgent matters to attend to. Whatever it is can wait until after we solve the current problem,” said Wollin, cutting Komer off impatiently, as another few warriors fell victim to the Ogres’ Demonic claws. The group of Ogres’ Combat prowess was turning out to be astonishingly powerful, far exceeding their previous knowledge of the Ogres’ ancestral progenitors—the Dread Apes. In comparison, although the appearance of the Dread Apes was more intimidating, in terms of intelligence, protective strength, and Attack power, they simply couldn’t match the Ogres they faced now. The two slain Ogres were solely due to the Earth Dragon Warriors’ surprise thrusts through the throat, but now the Ogres were clearly more vigilant against the Earth Dragon Warriors. The clumping together of the infantry soldiers not only hindered the Earth Dragon Warriors’ effectiveness but also caused the infantry line to reveal gaps due to the Earthwalking Dragon’s large movements; however, the stalwart man felt helpless, not daring to take the risk. Should he allow the infantry soldiers to scatter and be broken by the Ogres, they would fall into isolated Combat, potentially leading to the annihilation of the entire army.
“I have a suggestion. Why not ask the Earth Dragon Warriors to temporarily withdraw from the Battlefield, allowing the Mountain Soldiers to tighten the encirclement. Do not initiate an attack but rather use Thick Shields to bolster defense and prevent their escape. Then, those outside the combat can launch an attack, forcing them into a predicament, before opening a passage. Lure them out through the passage and focus our forces to slay them!” Komer had realized the severity of the situation. If they allowed this group of Ogres to escape, he and Ilot would likely meet the same grim fate. Their only choice was to join forces and deal with the trouble first, which might even afford him the opportunity to make the Barbarians greatly indebted to him. After all, the creed of the Barbarians was to repay even the smallest favor with a fountain of gratitude. By saving their lives, he believed the reward they would offer would not be insignificant. Resolute, Komer thought so to himself.
