Chapter 338: Crushing Momentum
"Kill!!!"
Charging at the forefront, Beelzebub smashed into the elite orc soldiers' defensive line like a heavy battering ram.
At the moment of impact, three or four elite orc soldiers were cleaved in half, armor and all.
The blood sprayed out, colliding with the swirling battle aura around Beelzebub, making his already ferocious aura even more terrifying.
The elite orc soldiers, true to their reputation, quickly realized Beelzebub was unstoppable and opened their formation to let him charge deeper.
The surrounding elite orc soldiers swiftly encircled him, attempting to trap and suffocate him.
Their strategy was sound, but ultimately futile!
Following Beelzebub into the fray was a whirlwind of blood.
Having advanced to a higher rank, Elio had mastered the swordsman's deadliest skill—Sword Aura!
The once dazzling and bloody whirlwind was now faster, stronger, and larger than ever.
The elite orc soldiers attempting to surround Beelzebub were instantly sliced into pieces, collapsing with anguished cries.
Beelzebub, having broken into the fray, didn't push deeper into the formation. Instead, he began disrupting the orc soldiers' front rows.
Even high-ranking orcs attempting to block him were forcefully repelled by his overwhelming strength of 29 points.
Some elite orcs targeted Elio, who was smaller in stature.
But before they could reach her, they were sliced apart by her invisible sword aura.
In terms of sheer efficiency, Beelzebub's brute force couldn't compare to Elio's mastery of the "Blade Storm" skill.
Elio hadn't just ascended to become a high-ranking swordsman.
She had also acquired three advanced specializations!
Furthermore, she was equipped with a full set of high-level magical gear prepared by Matthew.
Her personal challenge level had reached 15+!
She was now far stronger than many humanoid bosses Matthew had encountered in the past.
Watching Beelzebub and Elio wreak havoc, Matthew's lips curled into a faint smile.
"As a future potential enemy of the world, Bay Territory can't have just two bosses."
"We need more of them!"
More and more elite orcs became preoccupied with Beelzebub and Elio.
Even if they couldn't kill them, they had to restrict their movements to prevent them from tearing through the formation—even at the cost of their own lives.
Unfortunately, Beelzebub and Elio had already achieved their objective!
The heavily armored soldiers advanced with an intimidating, unified march, raising their massive blades.
Clad in heavy armor, wearing iron masks, and moving in silence, they were an unstoppable force.
Under the disbelieving gazes of the elite orcs, the massive blades slashed down with tremendous power.
Their movements were perfectly synchronized, hundreds acting as one.
The gleaming, snow-like blades created a menacing wave of white that cut through the orc soldiers.
A disorganized line of orcs was instantly toppled.
The heavy scent of blood filled the air as the armored soldiers stepped over the corpses without hesitation, continuing their advance.
Brave orcs charged from the second row to meet them head-on.
Their courage was commendable!
Their deaths were quicker!
Ordinary weapons and armor were no match for the massive blades' sharpness.
Each simple slash was a flawless combination of weapon and strength!
Hundreds more orc soldiers fell immediately!
The silent, blade-wielding armored soldiers resembled blood-soaked demons, dealing a severe psychological blow to the orcs.
This fear and hesitation cost the orcs their final chance to escape.
A faint golden light enveloped the armored soldiers.
Their pace quickened, and their already formidable strength grew even greater.
"Advance, blade squad!"
"Slash!!!"
The front lines of the orc defense were torn apart, leaving a massive gap.
A volley of crossbow bolts followed, suppressing the disorganized orc soldiers.
Then, hundreds of heavily armored cavalry charged forward.
Like a deadly scythe, the cavalry plunged into the gap torn by the armored soldiers.
With unmatched momentum, the cavalry shattered the orc formation.
The orcs descended into chaos.
"Charge!"
A clear voice echoed across the field.
Soldiers with nimble steps emerged from the reeds, advancing in formation.
As the orcs panicked, they ruthlessly struck them down!
Charging forward in unison, their spears skewered every orc in their path.
It was a relentless breakthrough!
Wherever they went, the orcs abandoned their armor and fled in disarray.
Dazed adventurers watched the scene unfold.
"What the hell? The orcs are already defeated?"
"What are you waiting for? Get in there!"
"Charge, kill the orcs, grab the gold!"
"Kill!!!"
"..."
Swarms of adventurers surged forward, pummeling the collapsing orcs.
They became the final straw that broke the orcs' resistance, scattering them completely.
In the chaos, most of the orcs turned and fled.
Their spirits crushed and their courage shattered.
The few remaining orcs who resisted were shot down by incoming crossbow bolts.
The Bay Territory soldiers, having completed the breakthrough, began cleaning the battlefield.
The task of chasing down fleeing orcs fell to the eager and jubilant adventurers.
These light-footed warriors were experts at capitalizing on a rout.
True to their reputation, within half an hour, they had eliminated all the scattered orcs.
Wolf rider patrols lingered around the battlefield but dared not approach.
Their comrades' cries of agony and death dissuaded them from launching an attack.
Ultimately, the sight of every adventurer and soldier carrying crossbows sealed the deal.
After suffering several setbacks, the wolf riders kept their distance, remaining faintly visible.
The adventurers, elated and in awe, returned to their ranks after completing the breakthrough and wiping out thousands of orcs.
Following this battle, they were more convinced than ever.
Following Bay Territory truly meant living large!
Having cleared this batch of orcs, Bay Territory's forces encountered no significant obstacles.
Castles, towns, and villages that chose to remain behind suffered devastating losses under the orcs' fiery wrath.
Small towns and fortresses were utterly incapable of resisting the fury of tens of thousands of orcs.
Hearing the news, Matthew and the adventurers couldn't help but feel a sense of relief.
Thankfully, they had left early. If they had been surrounded by the orc army, disaster would have been unavoidable.
"The lord is truly amazing!"
