Chapter 1036: Another Confrontation
"WAAAGH!!!"
The greenskin soldiers kept shouting war cries, but they could not stop the explosive attacks of the heavy crossbowmen.
Row after row, the heavy crossbowmen's offensive now unfolded in a multi-stage manner, greatly enhancing their ability to sustain suppression.
During this period, the advantage of the individual crossbow, which has stronger penetrating power, was fully utilized.
Inside the greenskin position, large patches of blood continued to bloom. They were so dense that they almost gathered into a faint blood mist in the area, allowing Shi Lei to clearly feel how simple and crude the attack of this single-soldier crossbow was.
Under the explosion of crossbow arrows, a large number of green-skinned soldiers kept falling in front of them, which greatly boosted the morale of the border defense forces!
Unfortunately, this situation cannot continue forever.
A single crossbow has a limited range, and facing the greenskin troops advancing with astonishing momentum, it can only ensure one round of burst, with basically no chance for a second reload.
Shi Lei knew this clearly and did not harbor any hope of luck.
After a wave of outbursts, they quickly signaled the heavy crossbowmen to retreat back into the city. At the same time, the border soldiers led by Li Tie directly fought with the green-skinned soldiers who had rushed in front of them.
"For the Emperor!"
"For the Emperor!!!"
The performance of the heavy crossbowmen gave them a good start in this battle and boosted the morale of the soldiers.
However, the soldiers can get carried away, but Shi Lei, as the commander, cannot.
In terms of physical fitness alone, under normal circumstances, human soldiers are completely at a disadvantage when facing green-skinned soldiers.
However, if he ordered a retreat at this time, it would undoubtedly undermine the morale of the troops.
After confirming the situation, Shi Lei quickly adjusted the subsequent tactical arrangements.
Now he uses his methods without hesitation.
[Controlled by Skeleton Soldiers! ]
In an instant, the skeleton soldiers that had been buried outside the city in advance broke out of the ground one after another. Moreover, they were all green-skinned skeletons that had been obtained before. Among them, the skeleton soldier named "Bai Lian", although his strength has not reached the level of Bai Lian, his strength is still not comparable to that of ordinary green-skinned soldiers.
If we say that in the previous brief confrontation, the soldiers of their border defense forces relied entirely on their morale and Li Tie, who was in the Hundred Refining Realm, to hold the situation.
At this moment, under Shi Lei's control, along with the entry of the green-skinned skeleton troops, the entire situation can be said to have been completely stabilized in an instant! [Skeleton Soldiers Strengthened! ]
[Skeleton soldier control is enhanced! ]
Subsequent enhancement measures quickly followed, and as for the other skeleton soldiers, Shi Lei simply let them play freely. As a commander, he still had to observe the situation and command the battle, but he did not have enough energy to carry out precise control of the skeleton troops.
The only exception is Bailian.
Shi Lei put more energy into Bai Lian, letting Bai Lian, who was holding two swords, directly become his thug. In this time, he had already chopped down three green-skinned soldiers in a row.
As a skeleton soldier, Bai Lian was undoubtedly a bit too eye-catching, attracting a lot of attention from the enemy.
In fact, there were large bones, two bones, and ogre skeletons inside their fortress for him to use, but Shi Lei had no such plan.
It's not that he is hiding his abilities, but once the chaos has broken out, if Big Bone, Two Bone and the Ogre Skeleton enter the battlefield, they could easily hurt their own people, which is not a wise choice.
During this period, Li Tie, who was holding a crystal iron battle axe and whose strength had reached Bronze Two Star, also relied on his strength in the Hundred Refining Realm to kill people on the battlefield. He was so happy!
Thinking back to the battle with the greenskin troops, he was undoubtedly a completely different person now!
In the face of the absolute power gap, the 'WAAAGH!!!' force field of the ordinary green-skinned soldiers could not withstand Li Tie's simple and crude three-axe attack.
After the skeleton soldiers entered the field, although they gradually gained the advantage, Li Tie's offensive invisibly added a sense of urgency.
Although Shi Lei's spiritual star level has reached four stars, his magic skills have not yet reached the level of an extraordinary magician.
Under this premise, compared to ordinary skeleton soldiers, green-skinned skeletons are stronger but also consume more mantra power, and this is especially true for Bailian.
Now Shi Lei is controlling five hundred green-skinned skeletons including Bai Lian at the same time. This state cannot be maintained for long.
Just as Li Tie was thinking this, a slightly broken broadsword suddenly chopped over from the side.
Li Tie reacted quickly and dodged to the side. At the same time, he looked carefully and saw a greenskin who was even more muscular than the ordinary greenskin appeared in front of him.
[The general on the opposite side? ]
He didn't have time to think, as the greenskin's attack was quite fierce. He missed with a 'WAAAGH!!!' and then slashed at him again.
As the sword was swung, Li Tie could clearly see that the blade was covered with a layer of faint light. Needless to say, this was the characteristic of a warrior in the Hundred Refinements Realm!
Different from Bai Lian who used dual swords at the beginning, the green-skinned general in front of him obviously did not take the swift route, and each of his moves was bold and powerful.
The Great Zhou soldiers around him had no time to dodge, and even if they were just scratched by the big knife, they would be seriously injured.
"Everyone get out of the way!"
Seeing this, Li Tie immediately let out a loud roar.
At the same time, he swung the crystal iron battle axe in his hand and hit the opponent's head.
Although these greenskins are crazy, they are not to the point of using their heads to block the enemy's battle axes.
Seeing this, the other side immediately swung a knife and chopped over.
It seems that he is quite confident in his own strength and wants to fight him directly and fight to the end!
This was exactly what Li Tie wanted. In a single-handed battle of strength, he dared to compete with Jie Liancheng! Who was this greenskin in front of him? ! The weapons of both sides collided fiercely. In a flash of lightning, there was only a crisp sound, and half of the broken sword flew out. Li Tie, who had burst out with all his strength, did not lose the momentum and fell down with the crystal iron battle axe in his hand! In the blink of an eye, the greenskin general on the opposite side cut off his arm to survive, risking his arm being cut off by Li Tie, and neutralized Li Tie's full-strength axe.
But he did not choose to escape. Instead, he clenched the half-broken knife in his hand and rushed forward with a roar, not caring about his own life or death. Like a madman, he wanted to take Li Tie's life at all costs.
This was not the first time they had fought against the greenskins, so Li Tie naturally knew what they were.
At the critical moment, Li Tie made a prompt decision and threw away the crystal iron battle axe in his hand. He took advantage of the inertia of the downward chop and rolled over to avoid the attack from the opposite side.
During this process, Li Tie kept moving. He took out two throwing axes from his lower back. While rolling up, he turned around without even looking and threw them at the green-skinned general.
As soon as the greenskin general turned around, two flying axes flew towards him.
He immediately swung his sword to sweep away, but he didn't know that almost at the same time, Li Tie had already picked up the crystal iron battle axe and rushed back, chopping down at his head with the force of splitting a mountain! "Die!!!"
