Chapter 239 I regret it very much!
Because the first round of volleys brought such a great shock to the orcs, even the sheep-horned orcs who were usually fearless of death could not help but slow down their charge and looked at their companions who fell to the ground beside them in horror.
The orc leader in the rear had no idea what was happening in the front, he just heard banging sounds from the front from time to time. The sound was loud and urgent, and the circular arena even served as a sound amplification, reminding the orc leader of a terrifying existence among humans!
"Kill! Charge forward quickly! Otherwise you will die too!"
The orc leader no longer dared to hesitate because of the slowdown in the charge and the thoughts in his mind. If it was really that kind of human, then the best option would be to rush forward while the other party was casting a spell. If he just stayed at a long distance, he would be waiting to die.
90 meters, 80 meters, 60 meters...
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Because of the orcs' hesitation, their attack speed was much slower than Gervis had expected. Gervis had already taken out two grenades, ready to throw two when the orcs approached so that the guards could successfully fire the second round of muskets. However, he did not expect that he did not need the help of Gervis' grenades. The guards in the first row finally completed the reloading in more than 20 seconds.
After reloading, without Gervis's order, the four guards pulled the trigger again. With four gunshots, four more goat-horned orcs fell on the opposite side!
Then came the second row, and the third row!
When the three guards in the third row fired their guns, the orcs charging in the front had approached to 30 meters. Without hesitation, Gervis placed the fuse of the grenade on the incendiary material prepared in advance.
Boom! Boom!
This was truly earth-shattering. As Gervis threw grenades one after another, two huge explosions were heard in the arena. The entire arena shook, and the charging team of the goat-horned orcs became fragmented.
Both of Gervis' grenades were loaded with explosives to kill monsters, which was a disaster for the orcs who were crowded together and charging.
One grenade caused casualties among at least 15 goat-horned orcs, with seven or eight of them killed instantly at the center of the explosion. The others either fell to the ground wailing with serious injuries or were hit by shrapnel. Although they could still charge forward, they were bleeding profusely.
"Despicable human, I'm going to kill you! You idiots, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and charge!"
Gervis's two grenades and two rounds of musket fire directly wiped out the goat-horned orcs, who were the biggest threat to Gervis and his men. Except for a dozen goat-horned orcs with scars all over their bodies charging in the front, the rest of the orcs on the field were all pig-headed men.
The leader of the goat-horned orcs was extremely furious at this moment. All the warriors under his command were killed or injured. The pig-headed men heard the loud noise just now and saw the tragic situation ahead, and they hesitated again. The pig-headed men's behavior finally caused the leader of the goat-horned orcs to start cursing.
"Behemoth, charge forward!"
The two pig-headed leaders were horrified to see the dead bodies of goat-horned orcs all over the ground. The goat-horned orcs had a much higher status in the royal court than them, and their combat power was also stronger than theirs, but at this moment, a large number of them died without even touching the enemy's bodies.
However, the pig-headed man leader also knew that there was no way to retreat at this moment, and his only option now was to kill the 15 strange humans in front of him first.
"kill!"
Under the scolding of their leader, the pig-headed man finally mustered up his courage again, quickened his pace and rushed forward.
All of Gervis's guards had also stood up, because the orcs had been away for too long and there was no time to reload their muskets.
Gervis was secretly hating himself for not bringing two more grenades, otherwise he would have won today!
The two grenades just thrown were originally prepared for Eve's orc space just in case, but I didn't expect to use them in today's bet, and they had a miraculous effect.
However, no matter how much he regretted it, the enemy in front was about to rush in front of him, so Gervis pulled out his mithril sword from the ground and put on the mask that had been hanging on his waist on his face.
"Guards, draw your swords!"
choke!
All the guards neatly drew their mithril swords from their waists, held round shields in their left hands in front of their chests, pointed their long swords in their right hands at the orcs in front, and all of them were waiting for the moment of collision with their breaths heavy!
"Follow me! Kill all the orcs! I have a big reward!"
"kill!"
Gervis took the lead and rushed to the front. Soon Gervis and his subordinates collided with the orcs.
Gervis activated his fighting spirit and swung his sword quickly left and right. Before the two goat-horned orcs could react, their huge heads had already separated from their bodies and fell to the ground!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The orcs were extremely powerful. Although their speed during the charge was intermittent due to fear, which reduced their power a lot, two bodyguards were still knocked to the ground. Fortunately, the three spear slave soldiers behind them played a role. The sharp spears pierced through the sheep-headed orcs when they were about to make a finishing move.
Immediately, Gervis and his guards engaged in a melee with the orcs.
…
When Gervis was fighting with the orcs, the audience in the stands remained silent. In fact, many civilians were so frightened when the grenade exploded that they trembled all over, and some people almost wet their pants.
The shock they received today was no less than seeing a golden knight in person.
The two earth-shaking explosions just now directly wiped out most of the goat-horned orcs. A deep mud pit appeared at the explosion site, and the mud pit was filled with the broken limbs of goat-horned orcs and the sounds of wailing.
All these scenes seemed unreal to them, like a dream.
Many people pinched themselves unconsciously to see if they were dreaming when they fell to the ground. When did such a powerful weapon appear in this world?
Kevin couldn't laugh anymore at this moment. Although the possibility of Gervis defeating the orcs was still slim, the weapons that Gervis had just used made Kevin feel terrified.
The long stick-like weapon was still okay, the most terrifying thing was the two shiny things that Gervis threw out at the end. Those two things were only the size of a small pottery jar, but the power they generated was beyond the reach of even him, a peak bronze knight.
This dealt a heavy blow to the self-confidence he had been building up. There were many other people at the scene who were also hit hard, but they were all at a level below the Silver Knight.
Knights with titles above silver, such as Gandalf and Alice, did not feel any fear. Although the power of the grenade was huge, when they knew of the existence of the grenade, it was not enough to threaten the safety of the silver knights.
"Anna, was the weapon that made the loud noise just now also invented by Gervis?"
Alice was already a little numb. She had just thought that her guess was almost right. The thing called a musket was the secret weapon that Gervis used to kill monsters. But now Alice found that she seemed to have underestimated Gervis.
"Yes! Sir, I was there when that thing was being tested, and it was terrifying, but it wasn't as powerful as it is now!"
The little maid Anna still answered every question.
Then Alice fell into deep thought, looking at Gervis with complicated eyes as he was fighting under the siege of orcs.
Alice has never felt that someone is a mystery as much as she does today. The more you get to know him, the more you realize that what you know is just the tip of the iceberg.
Alice raised the image of Gervis in her mind again and again, but every time Alice thought that Gervis had these abilities, she suddenly discovered that Gervis could immediately break your perception of him.
"What kind of person are you?"
While Alice's thoughts were drifting, Gervis had already advanced alone and killed more than a dozen ordinary orcs. Although he was besieged by orcs from time to time, relying on the strong defense of Gervis's full body armor and his superb killing martial arts, almost none of those ordinary orcs could be defeated by Gervis in one move. The mask of death on Gervis's face was covered with the blood of the enemies, making him look even more hideous.
The guards did not go too deep into the orc group. Gervis was now going to deal with the orc leader, and the guards only needed to concentrate on dealing with ordinary orcs. What's more, they did not have full body armor. Even the mithril leather armor and chain mail could not guarantee that they could move freely like Gervis after being surrounded.
