According to the intelligence notification Jia Zhengyi received through his earpiece, the number of orcs in these formations was approximately 20,000, with all types of troops present, clearly indicating that it was an elite regular army.
"There's a treasure hidden inside that army formation, a very powerful treasure! I think it must be the magic stone the orcs have!"
Jia Zhengyi's senses were sharp, and this time he could even detect the presence of the Great Sword Saint: "There are three more [Sword Saint] level experts hiding among the orcs!"
"They came prepared."
Xiao Linlin smiled gently: "They think that one sword saint can't handle a pureblood elf, so they might as well send more."
"It seems these orcs are really eager to collect all the magic stones."
Xiao Linlin paused, then asked Ellie, "Sister, are the troops all in position? Do you think we're confident with 20,000 orcs?"
"If those three sword saints don't act too quickly, there won't be any problems."
Elleri was very confident. With an absolute advantage in terrain, each of the three thousand elves had the ability to kill a hundred without taking any damage, let alone a mere twenty thousand orcs.
"Alright, let's get started."
Xiao Linlin did not interfere with the command of the elf team, but simply signaled to Elrere that they could start the battle.
"Gentle breeze of the forest, come into my embrace and travel with me!"
Ellie raised her scepter high and began to chant.
She stood deep within the forest, far from the battle lines, but nature amplified her power, allowing her to apply collective buffs to every elven warrior even from a great distance, with even greater power! Her chanting speed was also faster!
"...Go, warriors! Witness the glory of the elves, and let the world see us anew!"
At Elrell's command, the elves who were already in position drew their bows and fired three volleys of arrows from the edge of the forest.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh! Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh! Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh! Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
These three waves of arrows were aimed at the shaman nearby, the front of the army formation in the distance, and the rear of the army formation, respectively.
The arrows rained down with lightning speed the moment they were launched, landing on the orcs' heads in the blink of an eye. But these orcs were clearly more elite! Their reaction speed was extremely fast!
They changed formations in the shortest amount of time. The bear shield soldiers in both groups raised their giant shields above their heads, and the shamans who were on standby cast instant protective spells. The entire orc army entered a defensive state in less than half a second!
This terrifying reaction speed and proficiency in magic are entirely befitting of their formidable strength that makes them stand out among all races!
But alas, the elves' arrows were even more terrifying!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The moment the rain of arrows fell, it exploded with a deafening roar, like a hand grenade! The explosions were relentless and continuous!
Each arrow was imbued with its strongest buffs, exploding into bursts of intense flames the moment it touched the enemy! The magical whirlwind that followed the shockwave engulfed the orcs in a sea of fire almost instantly!
This left Jia Zhengyi speechless, inwardly exclaiming how outrageous it was.
The elves, living in a forest environment, were not attacked with fire by the enemy; instead, they used fire against the enemy!
Unfortunately, the fire spread rapidly and covered a very wide area. Even though it had already reached the forest area and the flames were licking at the trees, it didn't catch fire at all!
The surfaces of these trees shimmered with a green glow, shielding them from the scorching flames.
Good heavens!
The forest was fine, but the beastmen started a barbecue party!
Who can you reason with about this?
The orc army reacted quickly. The moment the flames appeared, shamans began chanting spells to clear away the surrounding fire, and the bear shield soldiers also began to shift their formation, allowing their comrades to scatter and reduce the fire damage.
The shamans ahead had already begun to turn back, leaving the bear shield soldiers to stand ready in the forest.
The arrow rain explosion was extremely powerful, but it did not cause much damage to the orcs. However, the fire was a real headache for them.
In the initial disarray, the orcs quickly regained their composure. But at that moment, figures of elves suddenly appeared in the forest ahead, constantly adjusting their battle positions at the edge of the forest.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh! Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
The elves on the front continued their high-frequency arrow barrage, constantly bombarding the orcs' stable formation with arrows that had armor-piercing, explosive, and corrosive effects.
Meanwhile, the other elves, in groups of twenty, split into ten directions to break through the orc army's defenses from the flanks. More than a hundred elves also emerged from the forest, using the high mobility of the demon deer to bypass the edge of the battlefield and directly attack the orc army's rear!
"Such skillful teamwork!"
Jia Zhengyi was surprised. Although he was not standing next to Elleri, he had a grasp of the overall battlefield information and could see Elleri's current condition.
This woman clearly didn't speak, and there were no elves around to give orders, but she could miraculously and freely command every elf!
It's as if these elves can communicate telepathically.
"It's the terrain of the forest that allows her to communicate directly with all the elves here, including Sister Lyanna. This is an instinct for every pureblood."
Xiao Linlin was in a rare good mood and took the initiative to explain to Jia Zhengyi.
Everything was under her control, but she wasn't too careless: "Brother Jia, this battle is very important. Don't get distracted. Your intelligence reports are crucial."
To ensure timely intelligence communication, she deliberately put an extra earpiece into Eller's ear.
Although the elf had never seen technological products before, it didn't stop her from learning how to use them.
"Yes, don't worry."
Jia Zhengyi nodded with a serious expression. He had long since put away his playful nature and was determined to prove his information value in this battle.
As Jia Zhengyi continuously relayed information remotely, many battlefield details that Elleri had overlooked were re-informed by Jia Zhengyi and then applied to the battle variations of each elf.
The battle had only been going on for a little over ten minutes when the orcish army was quickly broken through by the barrage of elven arrows, revealing an uncontrollable chaos.
If the chaos is allowed to spread, defeat is only a matter of time.
Of course, the orcs did try to break out into the forest, but their attempts were thwarted by the elves' arrows, and the unquenchable battlefield fires also served as a natural defense.
Meanwhile, Elrere was constantly using her elusive vine magic to ambush the orc commanders and shamans in the army, forcing them to be distracted or suffer casualties, and preventing them from fully attending to the chaotic situation on the battlefield.
I can't fight back, I can't defend myself from the arrows, what am I going to do?!
We cannot passively take a beating and only increase casualties!
Finally, the orcs gritted their teeth, changed formation, and retreated to the rear, while simultaneously launching a counterattack against the elf squad that was constantly attacking from the rear.
We can't break into the forest, but can't we handle these mere hundred elves?
Just as the orc army showed signs of retreating, Xiao Linlin suddenly spoke up: "Brother, now's the time! It's your turn to step in!"
