Chapter 97 - 97 The Power of the Troll
Clang!
Clang!
An ear-piercing sound of metal clashing rang out. Fang Ping’s eyelids twitched. The sharp sound made him feel uncomfortable.
!!
Fang Ping covered his ears and shouted, “Attack freely from afar. Forbidden Spellcasters’ Forbidden Life Spells and Armor Forbidden Spells can be used on their own.”
With one strike, many Warriors fell to the ground. The people beside them immediately blocked the attack. While they could not move, they could still tilt their bodies.
In the first strike, most of the Trolls used Smash. As long as they didn’t die, it was fine. There were far fewer Trolls than Warriors, less than half of them. There were probably only sixty or seventy of them.
Basically, two Warriors against one Troll. However, because of their size, the Troll’s aura was stronger.
“Armor Forbidden Spell.”
Fang Ping raised his staff and cast an Armor Forbidden Spell on a soldier who had been knocked down. The person beside him was slightly further away. As he could not move, he could not block him. He fell to the ground and covered his body with a shield, preparing to block the Troll’s next axe.
If he slashed down, even if he blocked it, the backlash would not be able to withstand it.
Fang Ping still cast an Armor Forbidden Spell on him.
A golden membrane appeared. The Troll’s axe paused and slashed at the Warrior beside him.
The Troll was probably thinking, “Do you have an Armor Forbidden Spell? The people beside you don’t.”
They were not stupid.
The arrows around Fang Ping also began to fly out in a scattered manner. However, the damage caused was really limited. It was better than nothing.
The front line also stabilized. The Troll Berserkers and Troll Warriors had powerful characteristics and high attack power, but their initial strength was not high.
With two points of Strength and the boost from the skill, the first round of attacks brought about a greater impact.
Then, the soldiers of the Lord’s Guard only defended and did not attack. The Troll’s characteristic Fury could not be triggered. Their basic strength was not high, and they could not break through the defense of the soldiers guarded by the entire army.
Just when Fang Ping thought the situation would be at a stalemate, the Troll made a new move.
“Hiss!”
One of the Trolls took a step back and raised his axe high. Instead of striking the soldier holding up his shield, he struck the ground.
Rocks and soil rolled as earth spikes pierced out from the ground, sending ice shards flying. However, when the earth spikes pierced the black iron-colored soldiers, their thick armor blocked the earth spikes. It was useless.
The power of the Earth Splitting Slash was much weaker than a fierce attack.
The Troll also knew that his target was not these black iron lumps, but the horses behind him.
Fang Ping knew the characteristics of being a blocked horse.
Horse Blocking: Feature Wall, unable to move or attack. Feature Horse Slaying, deals double damage to mounted soldiers. Feature Rebound 3. When receiving Melee damage, deals 3 points of Strength damage to the attacker. The damage cannot be reduced.
Earth Splitter was a Melee attack.
“Boom, boom, boom!”
The Troll stood up and raised his axe high. His characteristics had been triggered.
Immediately after, earth-shattering slashes were directed at the horses.
The situation instantly became precarious.
The balance that he had barely maintained previously had been broken.
There were not many Trolls with Earth Slash. Most of them were Troll Berserkers. There were only a dozen of them, but they had a huge impact on the battle.
The Encouragement from the beginning of the battle brought a lot of trouble to the soldiers. Fortunately, the effect of the Encouragement weakened very quickly. Under alternate defense, they also defended.
And now, the increased strength of Fury did not disappear so quickly.
A dozen or so powerful Trolls could easily tear through the defense line.
“Get behind the barricade!”
The effect of the entire defending army slowly weakened as they were attacked time and time again. At the same time, they could only slowly move.
There was a gap between each of the two barricades that was not completely closed. For Humans, they could retreat to the back of the barricade from here, and the Trolls could not come over.
Relying on the defense of the horses was a last resort. The reflective characteristic of the horses could continuously increase the strength of the Trolls.
How was he going to resist the powerful Trolls when the barricade shattered?
Fang Ping turned to look at Teacher Elsa. She was also watching the battlefield, but she did not react.
Elsa did not play the piano. It seemed that she did not think that it was dangerous now. Fang Ping was slightly relieved.
There were no barricades set up in the middle of the main road of the fortress. Only the situation here was still in a stalemate.
Apart from the middle, the other soldiers had already pushed them behind the horses. A portion of the Trolls slashed at the horses, each slash stronger than the last.
Meanwhile, another group of Trolls walked towards the center, planning to break through the defense in the middle and charge in through this gap.
The defending soldiers were also slowly moving back. Fang Ping raised his cane, preparing to cast a protective Forbidden Spell.
As he stared at the changes in the situation in front of him, Fang Ping suddenly felt the ice under his feet tremble slightly.
This feeling became more and more obvious.
Ka ka ka!
The ice under his feet cracked and extended forward.
Fang Ping turned to look at the darkness behind him.
The grass-covered ice path was still calm and extended into the distance.
...
‘Are the Lancers coming?’
A fireball flew out of the darkness and exploded in the air, sending red sparks flying.
“Retreat! Leave the ice path!”
This should be the signal agreed by the Lord’s Guards.
The soldiers in front immediately retreated, making way for the gap in the middle of the horses.
As the soldiers retreated, the tall Trolls filed in.
“Retreat!” Fang Ping raised his left hand high and pointed his thumb backward.
The Elite Team was only a few dozen meters away from the gap. Even if only one or two Troll Berserkers came over, they would not be able to take it.
Fortunately, no Trolls came.
“Wuwu!”
A Troll suddenly roared.
...
“Wuwu.”
The other Trolls roared along with him. One by one, they turned and retreated through the opening again.
Fang Ping was a little surprised. He realized that there was an ambush and was about to retreat?
The soldiers continued to retreat. They had no intention of turning back and delaying the Trolls.
Thump, thump, thump, thump!
Fang Ping could hear the dense sound of horse hooves approaching from afar, from small to large. It was like an oncoming mountain rain, like a surging flood, like a collapsing avalanche.
They were no longer watching from afar. The high-speed Spear Cavalry rushed past them, deafening the onlookers.
The wind carried ice shards and hit his face. It was quite painful.
At this moment, he could not care less. Fang Ping’s eyes were fixed on the blue figure at the front of the team.
Like a blue bolt of lightning.
What would happen if they collided?
Fang Ping was looking forward to it.
The Spear Cavalry was very fast. They went from nothing to everything everywhere in less than ten seconds. Although the Trolls were retreating, their huge bodies still made them block the gap.
The Spear Cavalry was about to arrive.
Many Trolls realized that it was too late to escape. They simply turned around and roared. They raised their axes and slashed at the Spear Cavalry.
Then, he was pierced.
One by one, the tall Trolls were pierced through by the spears and pushed back.
At this moment, the Lancers could not stop, or they would be trampled to death by the people behind them. They could only speed up and continue charging forward.
One by one, the Trolls were pushed out of the breach. Only then did the Lancers in the front row retreat to the sides. The Lancers behind continued to accelerate and chase after the fleeing Trolls.
