Chapter 74 Killing the Level 5 Minotaur

There are blockades in front and pursuers behind.

The situation is extremely serious. If you are not careful, the whole army will be annihilated.

Bastruan can only fight with his back to the wall.

Only by defeating the coalition forces of Richard and Sofia from the front can this orc brigade have a chance to escape.

The coalition forces of Richard and Sofia have a total of four squadrons of soldiers, two of which are relatively elite and two are relatively ordinary.

Although Bastruan has eight squadrons of soldiers, the casualties are very large.

There are less than 30% of the kobolds in the two squadrons, and the morale is also very low.

The two wild boar squadrons are slightly better, with more than half of the casualties.

The two minotaur squadrons have fewer casualties and maintain good morale.

The wolf cavalry squadron and the snake-bodied heavy infantry are the killers of Bastruan's troops.

Especially in frontal combat, the lethality of the snake-bodied heavy infantry is very strong.

In many cases, ten snake-bodied people can defeat the front line of an infantry squadron.

A squadron of snakemen has 40 soldiers, and like the eaglemen, they are a special type of orcs. Each of them is a professional, and can be said to be carefully selected.

The number of the coalition forces of Richard and Sophia is about 600, slightly less than that of the orcs.

The two armies are getting closer and closer. Richard visually observed that the orcs have entered the archer's range, and immediately ordered to shoot.

When humans fight against orcs, long-range projection is their strong point, and their equipment is also better than that of the orc army.

The strength of the orcs is physical fitness, and the number of professionals is also more than that of the human army, and they are good at close combat.

"Archers, get ready, shoot!"

The messenger waved the flag, and more than 400 arrows were shot at the orc army.

Because the distance was relatively far, the hit rate was very average, and only seven or eight orcs were shot.

"Shoot the first-level dog-headed man, and reward 500 experience points."

Hearing the prompt on the attribute panel, Richard was secretly happy and commanded the soldiers to fire the second round of volleys.

This time, the distance was less than 100 meters, and the hit rate was slightly higher, hitting more than 20 orcs.

Most of the hits were kobolds.

The kobolds had a lower status among the orcs, and this time they were still forced to lead the charge, consuming arrows as cannon fodder.

In the previous battles, the kobolds suffered heavy casualties. Now they were being focused by the rain of arrows, and they could not bear the casualties in an instant and fled to the rear.

The orcs were very cruel to the deserters. The wild boars who held the line held long knives and cut the fleeing kobolds in half.

The strong pressure forced the remaining kobolds to go crazy. They ran around and barked.

Some smart kobolds fled to both sides, and some chose to play dead. They were caught by the wild boars who supervised the battle and killed cruelly.

Richard kept commanding the soldiers to shoot arrows. When the two armies were 30 meters apart, six rounds of feather arrows had been shot.

The last three rounds were the most lethal, causing about 100 orc casualties.

Entering 30 meters, the minotaurs used slingshots and threw stones.

The strength of the minotaurs is very strong. The strength of an ordinary adult minotaur exceeds six points, which can be compared with the first-level professional human.

The stone bullets they threw were not weak.

Several soldiers were hit on the head by stones, and they were like rotten watermelons, stained with red and white.

Fist-sized stones, with strong kinetic energy, can smash shields, and iron armor is dented by stones.

Although the power of slingshots is not small, it cannot be compared with strong bows and crossbows after all.

In the long-range mutual shooting, human soldiers still have the advantage, and the exchange ratio is very considerable.

In the next two rounds of arrow rain, bows and crossbows caused more than 100 casualties to the orcs.

The number of soldiers killed by the slingshots of Richard's coalition was only more than 30, less than half of the orcs.

Seeing that the distance between the two sides was less than ten meters, the soldiers in the front row could already feel the coldness of the other side's ice blade.

Richard and Sofia cast spells at the same time with great tacit understanding, releasing the powerful greasy spell.

Generally speaking, under the standard model, the mental power invested in a ring of magic is 2 points.

In order to increase the area of ​​the Grease spell, Sofia and Richard invested four points of mental power in this magic.

Under the standard model, four points of mental power are enough to release a three-ring magic.

Although the powerful Grease spell has no lethality, the area has increased by about three times, forming a large greasy area.

Richard and Sofia joined forces to include almost the entire front of the position.

The release of the two magics instantly broke the balance of the battlefield.

Entering the Grease spell area, many wild boars in the front row fell down and were hit by human soldiers. A round of arrow rain killed and injured about a hundred people.

Seeing the archers draw their bows again and prepare to fire a volley, Bastruan roared and jumped over a distance of more than ten meters.

He held a two-handed giant axe and slashed it in the waist, instantly cutting off three spears.

Although Bastruan was in mid-air, he roared, which was the savage roar of blood magic.

This spell is a second-level magic, a group sound killing spell.

Dozens of soldiers nearby were frightened by Bastruan's roar and dropped their weapons.

Bastruan was waving his long-handled double axes and was about to chop down. Richard rushed forward a few steps, swung his two-handed heavy sword, and fought hard with the heavy axe!

The two heavy weapons collided with each other under the blessing of fighting spirit, making a thunderous collision sound.

Although Richard's strength was good, it was far from being able to compete with the fifth-level minotaur.

Tauren are a race with strength. The strength of a fifth-level tauren is about 20 points. Even his father William could not withstand Bastruan's head-on fight.

Richard fell backwards, with a trace of blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.

But the tauren's plan to break through the formation was blocked.

Richard could still use the ground to gain strength. Bastruan was in mid-air and was hit hard by Richard.

Before he fell, Sofia had already fired a magic missile.

Bastruan was still in mid-air and was hit by the magic missile. He flew back several meters and fell on the open space where the grease spell was released.

Richard was knocked down by Bastruan. He struggled to stand up. Although his hands were numb, he endured the pain and released a powerful fireball spell.

The fireball flew out more than ten meters away and hit Bastruan's chest.

The fireball exploded on him instantly, and the splashing flames flew everywhere, turning Bastruan into a fire man.

This time, Richard invested 10 points of mental power, and the power of the powerful fireball was almost equal to that of the sixth-ring magic.

The lethality of the sixth-ring magic was already very good. Melee professionals, if they did not have good enchanted equipment, generally could not resist it at all.

Bastruan was hit in the vitals by the powerful fireball, and died on the spot.

"Kill the fifth-level minotaur, and you will be rewarded with 8,000 experience points."

Richard opened the attribute panel and found that the experience points had accumulated to 13,000 points.

Before the battle was over, he had gained 8,500 experience points.
