Chapter 49 Running is better for health
“Bang, bang, bang!”
The huge sound of bowstrings vibrating and the whistling of arrows breaking through the speed of sound continued.
The six archer captains under Zhang Yang shot an arrow every two seconds on average, and it only took them three rounds to concentrate their fire and kill the nine orc captains.
Because the opposing orc team simply does not have archers of the same level to counter-suppress them.
The two sides quickly approached to within three hundred meters, and then a fireball suddenly rose into the air and smashed towards Zhang Yang and his men with great ferocity.
That’s right, there are no archers in the opposing orc team, but there is a mage who can cast fireballs.
This moment was really thrilling and unexpected. The speed of the fireball was extremely fast. Although it was not as fast as the speed of sound of a feather arrow, basically one had to disperse the formation to avoid it.
But you have to know that both sides are charging at a very fast speed, and a hundred meters is only two or three seconds. If the formation is dispersed like this, it will be equivalent to being hit like a hammer by the opposite orc team. Those orcs are two meters thirty or four meters tall, each of them is comparable to the Violent Bear Four, and they must have special strengths and defense skills.
"Get ready to throw!"
Suddenly, Wu Yuan roared, and pulled out a spear of confinement from his back while running. Undoubtedly, he intended to disperse the formation and then suppress the opponent with the spear of confinement.
But at this moment, Zhang Yang suddenly released the soul force field, touched the fireball in an instant, and then compressed it suddenly, and the entire soul force field instantly wrapped the fireball tightly.
This is an unprecedented attempt and an extremely dangerous one.
His soul force field can cover a full one hundred meters and is not affected by fire.
However, when the soul force field compressed rapidly and was able to affect the fireball, and even came into contact with the extremely violent force inside the fireball that seemed to be able to tear everything apart - Zhang Yang felt that his soul was also beginning to burn, and he seemed to be about to cease to exist and be burned to dust.
"Does this mean that forces act on each other? Newton is indeed a great magician."
For some reason, at this moment Zhang Yang even had the mind to come up with such a thought.
Yes, he was not afraid or scared. What he was afraid of before was close combat, not this mysterious and interesting fireball.
The reason is very simple. If it were him before he merged with the mountain monster's spirit, he might have given up due to the difficulty.
Even if he had not yet figured out the magical mystery of mana, he would not dare to be so crazy.
After all, in Zhang Yang's eyes, the fireball with mysterious destructive power released by the orc mage was just a different structure of magic power.
In the past few days, although he was unable to keep the magic power in his body permanently, he was able to skillfully use the magic power to enchant weapons and equipment.
That kind of power that can change the atoms and metal bonds inside a steel sword, isn't it better than a simple fireball? So at this moment, even though he suffered the great pain of his soul being burned, Zhang Yang still concentrated all his soul power and analyzed the first layer of the fireball in an instant.
Then came the second floor, where he indeed found familiar traces of magic power.
He didn't know how to describe it, but this was indeed a complete, even magnificent structure in his eyes, since he came into contact with magic power.
The structure of mana! It is like the positive and negative electrodes of a battery, gasoline and spark plugs, and the 0 and 1 in the data world.
Maybe this architecture is still very crude, but what does it matter? At least this architecture can increase the utilization rate of mana, a new energy source, instead of being like Zhang Yang before, where he could only use mana to do things that primitive people would do.
Zhang Yang failed to decipher the magical structure, but he still succeeded because he only needed to prevent the fireball from falling on the heads of his soldiers.
It's honestly too easy.
The magic power structure was destroyed and the soul force field was instantly withdrawn. Almost at the same time, the fireball, the size of a human head, exploded at a height of seventy to eighty meters above the ground, 98 meters away from Zhang Yang in a straight line!
At this time, only 0.01 seconds had passed.
The entire battlefield seemed to have been filled with a thunderclap, as if a sun had suddenly fallen, and everything from mid-air to the ground turned into a burning mushroom cloud of fire. The huge shock wave was like an 18th-level hurricane, with flying sand and rocks, causing both the enemy and our side who were charging to stop at the same time.
The power of this fireball is so strong that it is comparable to a single-soldier's fuel-air bomb.
Well, Zhang Yang didn't know what the power of a single-soldier fuel-air bomb was, but that didn't stop him from describing it this way. He simply couldn't imagine what the consequences would be if this fireball fell on their heads. Even if Wu Yuan and the others dispersed, they probably couldn't escape the damage range.
"Is this the mysterious magician? He is so terrifying!"
Wu Yuan, the quasi-hero, muttered to himself. He was now covered in dust and looked shocked.
The orc team on the opposite side seemed to be equally shocked and terrified, and looked like they couldn't believe it at all.
"Minato! What are you standing there for? Go ahead and kill them!"
At this time, it was Zhang Yang who first came to his senses and shouted loudly, because he suddenly realized that the fireball originally created by the orc magician might not have such great power. The reason for this was entirely because of the magic structure that he had arbitrarily modified.
This is really unfortunate. If the morale of our own soldiers is scared away, it would be a pity! Fortunately, Wu Yuan and others were the elite among the elites. They were shocked and stunned for only a short moment. Then they roared and rushed forward. The Spear of Imprisonment in their hands flew out of their hands. Most of them focused their fire on the orc mage who was rolling the fireball. It can be seen that they were still scared.
They were all like this, and the opposing orc team was actually even more confused, especially the orc mage. So they were in a miserable state. 18 spears of confinement poked the orc mage into a hedgehog in the first round, including two orc soldiers who tried to hold up shields for protection, whose shields were shattered and their defenses were broken, killing them instantly!
Then, before they could come to their senses, the second wave of 18 Spears of Confinement came whizzing in, knocking down more than a dozen orc soldiers at the first sight. They were not killed, because the scales on the surface of these orc soldiers' bodies were very thick, and even with the sharpness of the Spears of Confinement, they could only penetrate about ten centimeters. It took at least three Spears of Confinement to kill them instantly.
But the problem is that the Spear of Confinement comes with a confinement spell, so these orc soldiers were imprisoned instantly.
At this time, the six archer captains who had stopped in the back cooperated well. They were all capable of hitting high-speed moving targets. Now that the targets were fixed, there was nothing else to say.
Creaking, the captain-level longbow was pulled to the full moon, and each of them instantly released their armor-piercing arrow skills! "Buzz!"
The shock wave exploded, and in an instant the heads of the six orc captains on the opposite side burst into flames like fireworks.
But this was just the beginning. Just one second later, the third round of confinement spears from Wu Yuan and others broke through the air.
Another round with the six archer captains, and it's over.
An elite orc squad with strong combat power, including an orc mage, 15 wild orc captains, and 14 orc shield warriors, was completely wiped out in just a few short seconds!
This kind of powerful fighting power——
Wait, what does this have to do with combat effectiveness? There is still a distance of more than a hundred meters between the two sides.
This is clearly the crushing effect brought about by more advanced and powerful weapons.
"Charge! Destroy that group of orcs!"
Zhang Yang's mind was very clear at the moment. It had nothing to do with being happy. He knew his own strengths and weaknesses very well. Nothing was invincible forever. After this battle, the orcs would understand their tactics and might even figure out why the fireball exploded suddenly. By then, these orcs would not be so easily harvested like wheat.
So if we don't take advantage of the opponent's confusion to expand our victory, what's the point of waiting! Wu Yuan and the others didn't understand Zhang Yang's idea, or they couldn't think of it at this level, but this didn't affect their feeling of exhilaration at the moment. My god, the opponents are all rookies, so easy to kill, my sword hasn't even been unsheathed yet, wow haha! So they all rushed forward, howling, and headed straight for the second orc team 300 meters away.
The other side was also rushing forward roaring, probably because their nerve reflexes had not yet recovered from the sudden annihilation of the first orc team.
A second later, they suddenly stopped and began to form a shield formation.
Further away, the large orc army that was besieging the werewolf castle seemed to be in chaos. At least one hundred and thirty or forty orc soldiers were pulled out from the siege sequence and, led by a tall and strong orc hero, began to come to support this side. Their reaction was really quick.
Of course, Zhang Yang's reaction was faster! "Retreat!"
Now that you've shown off, when else will you run away?
As soon as they turned around, the second group of orcs immediately roared furiously and started to chase them violently!
The speed is amazing! Obviously, some skill is activated.
Looking back and seeing this scene, Zhang Yang immediately roared.
"Stop! Kill them!"
Wu Yuan and the other 18 soldiers immediately turned around and fired a round of imprisonment spears, which instantly made the orc squad on the opposite side unable to take care of themselves! Then the six archer captains cooperated.
Bang, bang, bang! Swish, swish, swish! Two rounds of golden eagle armor-piercing arrows and two rounds of imprisonment spears, and there were less than ten orc soldiers left alive.
But even so, these orc soldiers still rushed forward roaring, their courage is commendable.
But can we indulge them at this time?
“Kill!”
With a loud shout, Wu Yuan took the lead and accelerated the charge, shooting a wild orc captain in the head with one shot. The seventeen soldiers behind him also rushed down like tigers, and killed the remaining seven wild orc captains like chopping melons and vegetables.
Nonsense, it’s three against one, do you still have any shame?
They picked up most of the spears of confinement, and without any fanfare, everyone quickly fled.
As for the orc team that was planning to take the retreat route, sorry, it's not that we don't want to kill you, but you're just moving too slowly, so, see you on the battlefield next time!
