Pioneer Lord: Starting From Daily Intelligence

Chapter 284: Chapter 136: The Terrifying Power of High Tier Divine Chosen Dwarf Ankor (Part 3)

His Rune War Axe swung so quickly that in just over twenty seconds, he had killed four Giants. The remaining four Giants, with their morale shattered, fled the battlefield bearing terrible wounds.

In the short time left, Ankor charged out of the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood, selecting the most formidable opponent on the battlefield, a powerful Forest Giant.

These colossal beings stood at over ten meters tall, with muscles as hard as rock. The weapons in their hands were rougher than tree trunks, and each blow they struck would make the earth tremble.

Yet, even so, Ankor’s eyes were filled with the fervor of battle. He suddenly leaped up and with one strike, severed the Giant’s right foot. The intense pain made the Giant roar in agony, collapsing with a crash, its massive body crushing six or seven Forest Goblins and kicking up dust and grass debris.

Ankor didn’t allow the Giant any respite, flipping over and wielding the Giant Axe, he jumped onto the Giant’s leg as swiftly as climbing a mountain, and then leaped in front of the Giant’s throat, raising the ”Thunder Fury” high.

The Giant sensed danger and frantically shook its body, trying to throw Ankor off. But Ankor was as steady as Mount Tai, with his feet firmly planted on the Giant’s shoulders. Ankor then summoned all his strength and slashed Thunder Fury towards the monster’s throat; a ghastly scar appeared on the Giant’s rock-hard skin.

The cold intent of the Giant Axe’s blade seeped directly from flesh and skin to the marrow, causing the monster to forget to struggle in terror, eyes wide staring at the sky, a torrent of blood splattering, dyeing all his vision red.

After a long while, it touched the bleeding wound on its neck in horror. Such a massive wound would have ended the life of even a Giant.

But fortunately, it was a Giant. Though the Giant Axe had penetrated over ten centimeters deep into its flesh, it hadn’t severed its throat. At the moment when the War Axe’s cold edge was about to reach the Giant’s vital part, Ankor’s duration as a Heroic Spirit ended.

Upon seeing this, the Dwarf and human allied forces on the city walls couldn’t help but sigh in regret—just a bit more, and the Dwarf Butcher would have slain this Giant on the battlefield.

As a large number of monsters regrouped from the rear of the ravaged battlefield and charged back, Dorglin swiftly collected himself and said, ”Fortunately, the Giant’s foot has been severed, so it can’t pose much of a threat to us anymore. Its howls will only heighten the monsters’ fear. From here on, defeating these monsters relies on our own strength!”

”At my command, firearms fire in unison!”

At his command, the Dwarves stationed on the city walls all opened fire simultaneously, dense smoke spreading, and the muzzle flashes illuminating the night.

In an instant, countless monsters fell to the ground like cut wheat.

The sniper effect of the Dwarves was simply too formidable, especially now that their target was the infantry largely delayed by the trenches. They not only had to be wary of traps in the deep trenches but also cross the over two meters deep river in the trenches, their movements incredibly sluggish and unable to dodge.

The monsters crammed onto the narrow passage were densely packed, advancing only to become perfect targets for the archers on the city walls.

In this situation, human Archers could hit nine out of ten shots!

The distant defense forces on the city walls consisted of far more than just the Dwarf Firearms Soldiers. There were two Archer squadrons from the Attendant Camp directly under Hesse Territory, an Archer squadron of Half-Elves, and three Free People’s Corps newly organized by Rong’en, making the firepower of the distant units extremely formidable.

On the city wall alone, six distant squadrons were deployed, with numerous Archers on watchtowers and arrow towers shooting with full force.

At this moment, the city walls were firing incessantly, arrows like locusts, causing the Monster Legion severe losses in an instant.

The first batch of monsters trying to charge the camp gate was already dead or injured two hundred or more before getting close, their bodies scattered randomly across the road, the deceased intermingled!

The remaining, even more, monsters were so terrified they directly collapsed and fled, countless drowned in the ditches on both sides, with sparse deserters scattered across the wide plain in front of the camp.

This made the Two-legged Flying Dragon King Sandarion roar in anger, bellowing, ”Cyclops, smash those insects for me!”

”If you can’t open the passage, I’ll have you as my dinner tonight.”

”Woo~” The four Cyclops let out a fearful grunt; with their not too bright brains, they couldn’t think much, immediately lifting the massive stones over three meters high on their shoulders and hurling them toward the human camp.

Under the giant power of the monsters, the stones fell like meteors. Whether they hit the city wall or landed on the ground, the tremendous force caused the entire battlefield to shake.

Moreover, one of them struck with extraordinary luck, directly crossing the city wall and hitting a Free People’s Corps formation at the rear, instantly smashing six or seven Free People into a pile of minced meat.

Immense panic and screams erupted within the Free People’s Corps, with just this one blow shaking the squadron’s morale to the verge of collapse.

Standing next to the cannon, Hilude immediately ordered sternly, ”Aim at the monsters throwing the giant stones and blast them apart.”

The Dwarves hurriedly rushed to the cannons and quickly adjusted the barrels. However, to calibrate the trajectory and hit the distant monsters precisely was no easy task; the first two cannonballs only hit the grassy ground near the monsters, merely stirring up grass and dirt without any effect.

It wasn’t until the third shot that the cannonball skimmed past the Giant’s shoulder, scraping off chunks of flesh and splattering blood.

This strike rendered the Giants’ firing accuracy even worse.

Their stupid minds did not understand how to adjust their aim at all; the four Giants threw more than twenty stones, most of which landed on the open ground in front of and behind the city wall, even hitting and killing over ten of their own monsters, with only two hitting the target.

One smashed and broke three round woods on the city wall, leaving numerous cracks on the wooden city wall. Another hit the Dwarf Ranger squadron on the wall, directly smashing two Dwarves apart, but three Dwarves, due to their robust physique, survived the scrapes.
