Chapter 170 170:Up Against Aerial Attack[II]
The Commanders who got out of the tent were shaken by seeing the chaos but amidst this Irina's eyes trailed off towards Leon.
Her expression became pale seeing Leon rushing ahead.
Without wasting another moment, she lunged forward.
"Everybody moved and tried to lessen casualties, "Cameron shouted, asking everyone to advance.
...….
The soldiers who were excited seeing the death of Griffin and leaped in joy a moment ago were now left bewildered.
The griffins that were soaring into the sky started falling towards them at a fast speed along with the boulders they were carrying that threatened to crash onto them like meteors.
"FUCK!''
"RUNNNN!"
"Brace for Impact. Don't run like a fool, see their trajectory and avoid them."
The Captains, trying to calm themselves, relayed the orders as best as possible.
But many succumbed to the panic and fear witnessing huge shadows loitering over them.
With a mere few seconds until the stones reached the ground, the temperature of the battlefield started plunging down to a great degree.
BOOOM!BOOOM!BOOOM!BOOOM!
The boulders raining down suddenly decimated into pieces and then looked towards to witness the source that was responsible for this.
As chaos reigned on the battlefield, Irina stepped forward, her eyes gleaming unwavering amidst the turmoil.
With a fierce determination in her eyes, she raised her hands, and a frigid wind began to swirl around her.
SWOOSH!SWOOSH!SWOOSH!
From the icy mist, materialized a majestic ice woman spirit, its crystalline form towering behind her, emanating a chilling aura freezing everything in the periphery and plunging down the temperature.
SWOOOSH!
A chilling wind radiated all around her.
Irina extended her hands and following her command, the majestic figure behind her also raised her hand.
SWOOSH!SWOOSH!SWOOSH!
The air got sucked in forming a dense icy layer one after another that turned sharps.
With a graceful motion, the ice spirit unleashed a barrage of icy spikes, each one piercing through the air with deadly precision.
The spikes found their mark, shattering the monstrous creatures and intercepting the falling stones before they could reach the ground.
Irina waved her hand, following which ice shot out and pierced the griffin crashing down and averting the loud impacts.
Cameron, holding a spear, also charged ahead and threw the spear, and unlike others, his spear burst through the stones.
"Everyone supports Irina and averts the stones. Imbue and coat the spear in an aura to strengthen. Condense a deep layer at the tip that would explode on touch."
"YES SIR!"
The fellow commander immediately followed Cameron's motion. However, many were still struggling to grasp and apply the principle as said by Cameron.
Only those with delicate Qi refining and aura control could manage to do that so half of them fail making them look at Cameron with bewildered eyes.
Inspired by Irina who braced forward, various commanders rallied to her side, taking up strategic positions across the battlefield.
With practiced precision, they unleashed a barrage of weapons and spells, each aimed at the encroaching horde of monsters.
"Fire the arrows! If one isn't enough. Then fire 10...If 10 isn't enough fire 1000 but just do something instead of letting death come at you," Cameron bellowed previously.
The soldier running around stopped and took the arrows fired up.
Arrows soared through the air, and spells crackled with arcane energy hitting off the beast and boulder.
Few lunged forward and lifted broken stony mass and launched their boulders with thunderous force.
The combined might of Irina, the ice spirit, and the commanders turned the tide of battle, averting the deadly crisis with each.
Amidst the chaos and destruction, the soldiers regrouped around the commander and emerged and the human forces fought back with renewed vigor.
Irina's frontal assault and Cameron's leadership finally brought an end.
The Griffin falling were slammed with ice spikes and arrows making them look like porcupines. All they could do was scream helplessly unable to control their fall after their eyes popped out.
Leon glided across and immediately hoarded their souls as much as possible as each of them was at the Martial Grandmaster level and a valuable asset.
Sadly, the leftover Griffin sensing danger started to retreat.
When everything started clearing off, everyone saw three figures running ahead like madmen.
"Son of bitch, why the hell did you charge ahead risking your life."
"LEON!Hold on, we are coming."
A loud piercing roar echoed from a great distance making Leon chuckle.
"These idiots," Leon clicked his tongue and looked ahead at the green sea swarming at him.
"I don't think I would be able to eat anything green after this."
Gritting his teeth, Leon who was the only one now on the frontlines found himself surrounded by enemies.
Leon raised his arms, and a huge greatsword appeared in his hand that veered through the air around him, cutting apart anything and everything with brute force.
If it was one and one, Leon could use this as swordsmanship practice alas he needed to get out of the seize.
He swung the sword horizontally and chopped off a head.
Then using the momentum of swung, he cleaved another few monsters by tearing through the shield, chest, and abdomen.
Amidst the splattering blood, he rapidly parried a longsword that was thrust towards him. Before the huge enemy Orc could react, he thrust his large sword into his opponent's chest.
"KIEKKKK!"
And beside him, an Orc who chopped with his axe had his skull broken by Leon slamming his head, who fell powerlessly to the ground.
"KHHHHHHM!"
From the back, he caught the sigh of soldiers coming at him and roared at them.
"Hey, observe the situation at the back and watch for an opportunity to break the entitlement."While waving his sword and lowering his head to dodge the ax, Leon slammed his feet, sending the enemy flying and making others stagger.
Leon waved his left hand at the right time and used his forearm to block off the long spear. His right arm blocked a sea of Orcs stabbing him.
CLANG!CLANG!CLANG!
"Kiele…what?"
The Orcs spat in bewilderment as their weapon strikes weren't able to damage or wound the human hands rather it felt as if they were striking a metallic wall.
At the same time, the blade of an axe swerved towards Leon's head and he steadily lowered his head to dodge it and then he jumped up.
Leon then kicked a shield down and using the enemy Orc as a foothold, he propelled himself up to gain a height of a few meters.
Then swinging himself, he raised his huge sword vertically up toward the sky.
The muscles in his arms bulged and a fierce blackish glow unsheathed his sword.
Spiritual Qi surged around forming a vortex and his sword was ensued by a reddish glint that started becoming brighter and brighter.
"DIEEE!"
Then falling with gravity, he slammed the bulky black sword while using his art.
[Dragon Claw]
BOOOM!
BANG!
RUMBLE!
...…..
I know things are getting boring and the pacing has become slow but the thing is this is the first time I've written a war arc and it's a bit difficult to write with many things going on and this arc might be a bit dragged out though I didn't want to drag it but the ending would be quite good.
