The Dwarves Elves on the other side also mournfully sounded their battle horns, and more slave servants were driven out from the Mir Forest, surrounding the circle of flames, forming a besieging circle, ready for the Goliath Battle Group to deliver themselves to their doorstep.
Dealing with the Sodalite Treants was a matter of conspiracy, using their uncontrollable rage to lure them into the circle of flames.
Once the Sodalite Treants were engaged, what remained was an overt strategy.
Whether Mesnoel chose to save them or not, it was a loss either way.
To save them meant having to face a much larger force from the city of Delnox that had poured out in full strength.
Not saving them would ruin their reputation, and the natural races of the Mir Forest would be thoroughly deterred from easily allying with them in the future.
The slave soldiers charging at Mesnoel’s defenders were a different concept compared to those who had charged at the Sodalite Treants earlier.
Those who had charged at the Sodalite Treants consisted mainly of beasts from the Mir Forest, cannon fodder of the cannon fodder, meant as a sacrifice to lure them into the flame trap.
The ones charging towards Mesnoel’s defending forces represented the years of accumulated strength of Delnox City, supplemented by the indigenous residents of the Mir Forest and primarily creatures from the Dark Domain.
Owl Bears, Forest Savage Tigers, Forest Panthers, Jackalweres, Hobgoblins, Terror Claw Beasts, War Lizardfolk.
Wherever the slave servants charged, Dark Arts would explode, shrouding the area in a cloud of black mist.
Most of the slave soldiers driven by the Dwarves Elves had Dark Vision, especially the creatures of dark domains, many of whom feared light.
Where the mixed battle squads passed, a Daylight Spell would burst forth, turning the area into broad daylight.
It was standard issue when clashing with the Dwarves Elves.
For creatures of the dark domains, it was not only an illumination spell but also a flash grenade, capable of blinding their eyesight directly.
On the other hand, the mixed battle squad was minimally affected.
Because the Shadow Eye Band was standard issue for them, this specialty from the Ghost Textile Factory not only allowed them to see through shadows but also filtered light to a certain extent, as if wearing sunglasses.
Each countering the other, the effect could indeed determine life or death.
The fully charged strike of a Golia Barbarian was not easy to withstand; if struck solidly, even if not fatal, it would leave the victim maimed.
Brolan of the Autumnbreeze demonstrated through action what was meant by sweeping away fallen leaves—except what she swept away was not leaves, but lives.
The twelve mixed battle squads were like twelve extremely sharp scalpels.
They carved twelve narrow passages directly into the formations of the Dwarves Elves’ slave soldiers.
Following behind them, the Goliath Battle Group acted like outright bulldozers; wherever they went, there were no slave soldiers left standing.
Most of the attacks that the slave soldiers managed to land on them were like mere tickles, posing no threat at all.
It was fortunate that Mesnoel’s defending forces were scarce, all told not exceeding three hundred.
If it had been two thousand of these elites, it’s estimated that they could have broken through the Dwarves Elves’ camp from the get-go.
"Fireball Technique!"
Countless red projectiles, the size of glass beads, rose from the Dwarves Elves’ camp, growing larger as they flew until they became the size of a human head when they landed and exploded violently, the shockwaves and terrifying heatwaves sweeping out simultaneously.
The Dwarves Elves launched a wave of Fireball Technique to cleanse the land, with over thirty fireballs coming down in one round, causing many areas to experience overlapping explosions.
The Fireball Technique was known as the most commonly used spell in Felen, especially on the battlefield.
Firstly, because it was relatively easy to master, merely a third-tier spell, six levels of spellcasting were enough; this was under the condition of casting using one’s own abilities.
However, in reality, many spellcasters were sufficient with three or four levels of spellcasting; the rest was up to a Fireball Magic Wand and specialized casting techniques.
Secondly, its decent area of effect damage was enough to harvest a swath of lower-level troops.
While the Dwarves Elves were unleashing their Fireball Technique.
Magic Auras burst on the Goliath soldiers simultaneously.
Although the Goliath soldiers seemed to be fighting alone, each one was actually followed by a Fae Race Druid, providing them with Keep reading on NovelHub - where stories come alive!
And the first-tier Jump Spell was one of the most helpful spells for the Goliath soldiers.
With their innate formidable jumping ability, plus the strength of the spell, they truly became monstrous.
They turned into veritable human grasshoppers, leaping into action with a whoosh.
A jump of four to five meters was commonplace.
A jump of five to six meters was very common.
A jump of six to seven meters was truly exceptional.
And a jump of seven to eight meters? That wasn’t jumping anymore; that was gliding, flying.
The explosion radius of the Fireball Technique was only six meters, and many literally jumped out of the blast radius. Even those who didn’t jump out of range had mostly avoided the brunt of the fiery shockwave, limiting the spell’s lethality.
This ingenious method of evasion, let alone the slave soldiers, even the Dwarves Elves were somewhat startled.
They knew of the Goliaths’ astounding jumping abilities, but they hadn’t expected them to be so extraordinary, completely shattering the normal human limits.
Those wielding large Longbows had drawn their bows before leaping, only releasing the string when their bodies reached the highest point.
