The goblin knight's attack method is very unique. It uses a spear to attack, while the giant wolf beneath it also launches a biting attack on the enemy. Inexperienced people find it difficult to defend against this attack method that combines attacks from both above and below.
In the first encounter, the guard at the entrance was wounded by the goblin knight on the other side.
Another person was pinned down by the giant wolf. At first, he was able to call for help, but after the wolf bit his neck, he soon became motionless, leaving only spurting blood that stained everything around him.
The guards behind him were too late to save him and could only watch helplessly as their companion fell.
Enraged by the loss of the first kill, the guards unleashed their skills, striking the wolf's head with their own. One guard even cleaved the gray wolf's head in two with his axe. The giant wolf, in pain, threw the knight off its back.
“The mistress…” A guard’s eyes reddened upon seeing this; the one who had been bitten was his younger brother.
He pushed his way forward recklessly, slamming his skills into the lone goblin, not caring even when pierced by a spear.
Seeing his desperate fighting style, the goblin who had been slashed in the shoulder was filled with fear. He dropped the spear he was holding and turned to run away.
Do you think you can run away? Countless weapons struck it from behind, working together to kill it.
After suffering one death and one serious injury, the human guards finally killed the first goblin knight.
Both sides were completely enraged and officially entered into a battle for control of the staircase.
Since the orc vanguard had entered blind spots, and the stairs and corridors blocked the ranged units' view, they had to shift their targets to the orc units in the back.
After a volley of fire, the orcs all rushed into the first-floor corridor, leaving the ranged units helpless.
Meanwhile, the orcs who followed rushed into the first-floor corridor and saw that the goblin knights firmly occupied the stairwell entrance, making it impossible for them to squeeze in. They could only run towards the other entrance.
On the other side, Liu Nian personally led a team to guard the area. Two black warriors blocked the middle of the first-floor staircase like door panels, with Liu Nian and Tiffany as the spellcasting force behind them.
The orcs didn't care about anything else; seeing an opening, they charged in with their weapons.
Liu Nian was initially worried that the animals might fall for such a simple trap, but it turned out that he had been overthinking things, as the animals charged straight at him.
The orcs rushed into the stairwell all at once, and even the Black Knight couldn't withstand the impact, constantly being forced to retreat.
Unfortunately, the stairwell was only wide enough for two beasts to pass side by side. After the Black Knight had a firm footing, all the beastmen were crammed into the stairwell, packed together like sardines in a can.
Although only the two orcs at the front can attack, the battle on this side is clearly more difficult than the one on the other, as almost the entire orc berserker squad is here.
The confined space limited their ability to function, so Liu Nian applied disintegration rays and damage amplification to each of them one by one.
With teammates present, I really dare not use the Evil Song. With the guard's meager defense, the consequences of being hit by the Evil Song would be unimaginable.
The thick-skinned orcs are not afraid of direct attacks; their defense is incredibly high.
However, with Tiffany around, her poison magic deals damage based on a percentage of health, making Tiffany the undisputed main damage dealer.
It cast poison spells on the orcs downstairs one by one, and then used the Cloud of Death to launch a group attack.
However, the orcs were no pushovers either. The more health the berserkers lost, the higher their attack power became. The black knights in the front row had their armor dented and battered by their weapons, and their health was dropping rapidly.
Just as they were about to give way, they were knocked to the ground.
Unexpectedly, even the Black Warriors were defeated. Liu Nian quickly dragged the two Black Warriors with low health into the space.
The two orcs stared in confusion at the suddenly vanished Black Knight. After a moment of stunned silence, their blood-red eyes fixed on Liu Nian, who was right in front of them, and they roared as they charged toward him.
Even if you don't have them, you can still beat them up!
At this moment, he was only a few steps away from the orc, and the zombies behind him were not fast enough to block the gap. The situation was critical!
Just as Liu Nian was about to use his shield to temporarily block the orcs' attack, a bone wall appeared out of nowhere and blocked the stairwell. Seeing that Liu Nian was about to risk his life, Tiffany decisively used the bone wall to stop him.
The pile of bones quickly sealed off the entire passageway, and behind the formed bone wall came the angry roars of orcs and the loud thuds of weapons hitting the bone wall.
A few seconds later, a crack appeared in the bone wall, and then the crack gradually spread to the entire pile of bones.
After taking another powerful blow from the orc, this became the final straw that broke the bone wall. Amidst the scattering of bone fragments, the bone wall was directly shattered by the orc berserker.
However, thanks to the few seconds that the bone wall bought, the zombies behind Liu Nian also came down in layers, blocking the mage behind them again.
The vampires and wraiths, these flying units, also entered the battlefield from other angles and engaged in a melee with the orcs in the back row.
When zombies face orc berserkers, they become nothing more than punching bags for the orcs, being chopped to pieces after just a couple of attacks.
However, it did trigger the zombie's rotting skin. The orc, who was the first to be hit, was splashed with acid, and a large part of his body rotted away instantly, making him look even more terrifying.
Zombies continued to push forward, but the stairs limited the number of orcs, allowing Liu Nian to cast spells safely.
Tiffany, as a lich, played a significant role in this confined space. The cloud of death enveloped the orcs in the corridor, and the poisonous damage corroded the health of the orcs huddled together.
The orc berserker in the front row was now killing everyone with a single strike; skeleton warriors and zombies were no match for it. However, seeing this made Liu Nian happy.
The more powerful it is, the more health it loses. It can take down a summoned creature in one hit, but at the same time, it means that its health is as thin as a sheet of paper.
Liu Nian decisively used Corpse Explosion; the pile of corpses at the corner of the stairs was his chance of winning.
A loud "boom" rang in my ears, and the entire stairwell shook.
The orc berserkers in the front row were no match for the corpse explosion and were blown to the ground in the stairwell, where they lay motionless.
The subsequent skeleton warriors filled the gaps and fought against the catching orc berserkers, trying their best to buy time for Liu Nian to summon zombies.
The longer they can stand, the more dangerous it becomes for the orcs, because the poison damage and toxicity from the corpse explosion are starting to accumulate, and they are now losing health at an alarming rate.
The zombies were summoned once again. Looking at the fewer and fewer orcs blocking the stairwell, Liu Nian thought to himself, "The advantage is with me!"
The stairs were blocked by skeleton warriors and zombies, and the stairwell was blocked by vampires and ghosts.
The orc in the middle serves no purpose other than as a cushion; he can only watch helplessly.
The poison damage drained the orc berserker's health, and the cycle repeated with the corpse explosion. Once this virtuous cycle started, it wouldn't stop. Finally, with the combined efforts of the vampire and the skeleton warrior, the last orc berserker was killed by Liu Nian.
There was no time to count the spoils of war. The shouts of battle were deafening from the opposite stairwell. I was about to use the Summoning Spell, but the system message said I was in the middle of a battle and couldn't use the skill.
It turns out that while in a team, the battle on the other side hadn't ended, and he couldn't disengage from the battle.
After instructing Dahei to clean up the battlefield, Liu Nian used the Skeleton Resurrection spell to revive the skeleton warriors and led the undead army to the other side.
