496 The Scorpion Race’s Final Struggle

Seeing the Scorpion Army rapidly approaching, Zhao Yun’s expression turned serious. The war spear in his hand was pulled back, and his footsteps became faster and faster. The tip of the spear drew out sparks on the ground, but he did not forget to give the order.

When the distance between them was 50 meters, Zhao Yun shouted, “Fire!”

“Swish…”

A wave of over a thousand arrows suddenly flew out, but immediately after, another wave of over a thousand arrows came out, twelve waves in a row.

The Purgatory Divine Crossbow exploded and splattered. Under the influence of the Sacred Flame Halo, it exploded the moment it landed.

Even if the Scorpion race’s defensive power was strong, and their fighting skills were exquisite, they still couldn’t resist this kind of specially designed arrow.

These arrows were Runic Arrows, and with the addition of halo skills, a single volley was enough to annihilate a large number of enemies.

The black battle armor worn by the Scorpion Warriors evolved from the original scorpion shell during the transformation. It was the battle armor the most suitable for the body. Not only did it have a strong defense, but it also had a good ability to transfer energy.

However, even so, the arrows were like paper in the face of the Army of Dawn. They were torn apart in an instant, and blazing white and red flames splattered everywhere. When they stuck to their bodies, they burned a bloody hole.

No matter how determined they were, and no matter how unafraid they were of death, facing such a situation, the Scorpion Warriors couldn’t help but let out a series of miserable screams.

The power contained in the arrow was too strong, and it had all kinds of buffs. Even if the Scorpion Warriors could block the arrow, their blades would either be sent flying or would break in the battle.

Moreover, the rain of arrows was so dense that the Scorpion Warriors could block one or two arrows, but not more.

Once they couldn’t block the arrows, they only had to die.

Thus, with just one wave of arrow attack, the Scorpion Warriors at the front fell.

This scene was like a sickle cutting wheat, falling in droves.

However, the Scorpion Warriors weren’t afraid at all. Instead, they used the corpses of their fallen comrades to block in front of them and quickly charged forward.

The Scorpion Warriors increased their speed. The distance between the two sides wasn’t far, and as soon as the arrow rain fell, the two armies had already come into contact.

However, Zhao Yun was not surprised at all. These foreign races clearly did not have a way to deal with the Purgatory Divine Crossbow. They could only use this method to engage in a chaotic battle, which was considered a method that was not meant to be used to break the Purgatory Divine Crossbow.

It was only that these foreign races knew too little about the military strategies of the Human race.

They thought that as long as they got close to the Human Army and fought with Human warriors, they wouldn’t be threatened by arrows anymore.

However, they didn’t know that apart from the crossbowmen who used the Purgatory Divine Crossbow, there was also the top-rank type of soldiers, archers.

These archers were not the kind of archers who only needed strong arm strength and a few years of practice in arrow shooting.

They were a transcendent type of soldier, and each archer had an S-Rank battle bow in their hands. At the same time, they were all Sharpshooters. The closer the enemies were, the faster they would die.

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”

One arrow after another was fired from the rear of the Army.

These Archers didn’t form a neat formation. On the contrary, they seemed to be very loose. However, the arrows shot by each of them could accurately land on the bodies of the Scorpion Warriors.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

Each arrow would trigger an explosion. Only a few people could survive the attack. Even if they did, they would be seriously injured.

Only a small number of Scorpion Warriors who had participated in many battles could rely on their rich experience and even more powerful strength to resist the arrow attack.

However, they could only defend against this kind of attack once or twice. They would still die if they were attacked many times.

In fact, the arrows shot out by these Archers would cause even greater chaos to the Scorpion Warriors because of the different effects of the runes.

These Scorpion Warriors simply couldn’t block the arrow rain from behind. There were only 30000 of them, and before they could reach the Human warriors, one-third of them had already fallen. At this time, they were once again attacked, and another few thousand died. The total number of soldiers left was only about half.

“Kill them!”

After paying an incomparably painful price, the Scorpion Army finally charged to the front of the Human Army. They waved their pitch-black sabers and hacked at the shield wall.

They wanted to let these arrogant humans know that the Scorpion race was undefeatable.

These sabers glowed with a black light. They were confident that they could cut through even steel with one slash.

They had encountered this kind of defense more than once when they were destroying other Human countries. They didn’t think much of it. This was because as long as they slashed down with their sabers, whether it was a shield or a person, they would be able to break it immediately.

“Ding!”

As soon as the saber landed on the shield, the Scorpion Warrior’s face changed.

Not only did he not split the shield, but his palm was numbed by the shock, and his saber was sent flying.

“How is that possible?”

Some Scorpion Warriors had disbelief in their eyes.

They knew how sharp their sabers were, but this was the first time they had encountered a shield that they couldn’t cut through.

“Dang… Dang… Ding…”

The sabers slashed against the shield wall, either bouncing off or being directly sent flying, causing the Scorpion Warriors not to know what to do.

However, no matter how surprised and disbelieving they were, the Human Warriors didn’t care at all. Their shields firmly blocked the front, and the long spears on the shields suddenly stabbed out.

“Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!”

The spears directly pierced into the bodies of the Scorpion Warriors, who were caught off guard. With a slight twist, they were pulled out and thrust out again, bringing with them the sound of the spears piercing into flesh.

Immediately, a large number of Scorpion Warriors in the front were killed or severely injured.

However, the Scorpion Warriors at the back pushed away the corpses of their clansmen without any hesitation and rushed forward again, swinging their sabers and slashing down.

However, this time, the Scorpion Warriors saw the spearmen behind the shields and decided to defend. Although there were still many Scorpion Warriors who couldn’t dodge in time, the number of casualties was reduced by more than half compared to the first time.

“Dang… Dang… Ding…”

The saber struck the shield again and again, even at the same place.

No matter how good the quality of these shields was, they couldn’t help but be chipped.

During this process, the Archers and crossbowmen behind didn’t stop at all. They still seized the opportunity to kill the Scorpion Warriors.

On the battlefield, there was only a matter of life or death. No kind character could be displayed here, and the soft-hearted ones died the fastest.

At this moment, the shield wall formed by the Human Sword-shield Warriors was like a natural chasm, firmly isolating the Scorpion Army’s charge. From time to time, they would even use their spears to kill the Scorpion Warriors through the gaps.

The ground was covered with the corpses and blood of the Scorpion Warriors.
