Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1131. War Beast
"War beasts! Send them out!"

On Crow Ridge, Azog, who had an overview of the situation, shouted and issued orders.

Behind him, two large flags and trumpets worked together to broadcast his orders.

Suddenly, a rumbling sound was heard from the cave, which had been quiet.

A terrifying creature emerged from each hole.

These creatures look like ogres, but their sizes are mostly over ten meters.

The tunnel dug by the earth-eating giant worms is more than ten meters in diameter, but they basically walk out by holding on to the upper edge of the tunnel.

A catapult is loaded on the back of the war beast, and several orcs, acting as operators, also stand on the platform behind the war beast.

Amid the mechanical pressing sound of 'Karara', the war beast lowered its body and supported itself on the ground with all four limbs.

Then with a loud "bang", the catapult threw huge stones weighing several tons into the distance.

The dwarves had originally organized a shield wall defense line, but when large groups of orcs rushed into it, it was like an egg hitting a rock, and they were smashed to pieces on the shield wall.

The shield wall of the dwarves was originally set low because of their height, so attackers had a harder time exerting force than in other situations. Moreover, the spears that the dwarves held up behind the shield wall were all finely crafted by the dwarves.

There were four or five orcs hanging on it with their armored bodies, and none of them bent, let alone broke.

However, faced with the huge stones thrown by the catapults, the dwarves' shield wall became useless.

Several war beasts were also assigned to the ruins of River Valley City.

"Boom~bang!"

Huge rocks flew across the sky and smashed into the already dilapidated walls and buildings of River Valley City.

Large pieces of stone that had long been loosely bonded together began to break apart and fall with a clang.

The gravel fell down with a crackling sound, but most of it was blocked by a layer of golden light.

Lan retracted the [Quen Seal] that was used to support the protective shield, and shouted to the side amid the noise.

"Is anyone hurt?"

"My leg is broken! Help me!"

"And me, my arm!"

The debris splashed over a large area and with great force, and Lan En was unable to stop it all.

"Take the wounded and take care of them!"

After giving the order, Lan En immediately rode on Qilin and jumped to the foot of the city. If there were no restrictions on the enemy's actions, the number of casualties would only increase continuously.

Under the suppression of the catapults' firepower, a large number of orcs had abandoned the long bridge leading into the valley city and instead moved closer to the city walls through the dry shallows.

Lan's location happened to be the target of this group of orcs.

Behind the groups of orcs, on the hillside slightly higher than the city wall, were giant catapult war beasts with their limbs supporting the ground.

"Go ahead and kill them!"

Lan En gently pulled the Qilin's mane, and the ancient dragon of the New World immediately understood what he meant.

Although the Qilin horns on its head have not grown out yet and its control over lightning is scattered, the Qilin's physical abilities have adapted and are now no different from normal.

"Xilulu!"

With a long neigh, the powerful hooves stepped on the ground, and the wide, draped silk rune cloth on the noble and elegant horse fluttered in the wind.

It's like a flash of blue and white lightning!

The sudden push on his back made Lan En's muscles tense involuntarily.

A huge and dark sword was placed at his side.

The tip of the ferocious sword scraped the ground lightly, causing a streak of sparks.

The orcs, with their teeth bared and deformities and growths on their faces, didn't even see clearly what was happening.

"Bang!!!"

A deep and long echo like the evening bell of a church resounded throughout the entire city wall!
There were many collisions, but under the Kirin's incredible speed, they were compressed into an indistinguishable sound, overlapping with each other!

The nearly three-meter-long sword blade left a bloody fan-shaped pattern on Lan En's side.

Smashing, crushing, tearing. [Muddy Stream·Destruction]'s special wounds were completed in a split second of contact.

The orc that was hit had a completely different gap on his body from that left by an ordinary sword. He was almost chopped into pieces from the wound!
The whole body broke into pieces out of thin air!
The orc troops, who were originally trying to wade through the shallows, formed a long line, just like ants that were crushed after gathering together.

After Lan En passed by, only a mass of black debris was left scattered about.

The stumps of limbs and pieces of flesh flying in the air were completely consistent with the brutal and cruel temperament of the sword.

The blood of at least thirty or forty orcs was caught by the huge sword blade, forming a fishy, ​​black-red fan-shaped trajectory.

The airflow blade technique in [Ashina Style] not only envelops the air to magnify the lethality, but also envelops the liquid with a higher density to make the lethality even stronger! However, considering the difference in power consumption required to control airflow and liquid, Ashina Isshin may be able to do it, but the cost-effectiveness is not high.

He was already very old, and even if he were young, it would be unwise to expend so much energy on the battlefield.

The other swordsmen from Ashina didn't even dare to think about it.

But today, the strength required for this technique has become "normal" for Lan En.

With a "swish" sound, it was not only the sound of [Muddy Stream·Destruction] passing through the air.

Or was it the sound of the [Blood Blade] on the sword brushing against the enemy's body?

The blade of the greatsword is nearly three meters long, but the width of this group of orcs' formation is at least seven or eight meters, so half of them are still out of reach of the blade.

But from the moment the first orc's body was chopped into pieces, the foul blood in that deformed body was sucked out by the skillful sword blade through vacuum suction.

The blood gathered into an extended blade, which then chopped up the second and third men.
Although the lethality of the liquid sword is not as strong as that of the entity of [Turbid Stream·Destruction], it is more than enough to deal with orcs.

The blood-red fan left a trail in the air. The orcs outside the range of the blade looked better than those within the range of the blade. At least the cuts were neat.

The blood-red fan swept across the entire orc column, leaving dark and red blood marks even on the other side of the dried-up shallows.

The mark penetrated deep into the rocks on the river beach.

After Lan En's pass, the moat, which had dried up to the point of a stream in the winter, suddenly turned red for a large section of the river.

It would take at least ten minutes for an ordinary corpse to drain its blood in water. The witcher's move directly drained the blood of dozens of orcs and spilled it out. It would be strange if the blood didn't turn red.

It also takes time for water to purify itself.

"Eat my big bomb, meow!"

The fluff ball was not idle either. It stood on the neck of the unicorn in front of Lan En, holding an alchemical bomb [Advanced Honeycomb] in each of its little paws.

Try to throw it towards another group of orcs that are wading through the shallows in the distance.

There were two loud bangs, and no matter how many orcs died, the queue collapsed.

Immediately afterwards, the Changhu Town militiamen on the city wall began to shoot arrows downwards. Although they were poorly trained and had low quality, they had the advantage of the city wall and the enemy had already dispersed. For a moment, they forced the orcs to retreat to the other side of the shallows.

"Front, jump!"

The flannel ball's support for the side battlefield did not affect Lan's goal.

He clamped his legs on both sides of Qilin's belly, and at the right time, the ancient dragon jumped powerfully.

With this jump, he leaped directly to the top of the hill where the war beast on the opposite side was!

The war beast, which was originally supporting itself with its limbs on the ground in a load-bearing posture, waiting to load the gears of the catapult on its back, suddenly found a tall horse rushing out in front of it, along with a tall man on the horse!
Lan En held the hilt of the heavy sword, which was more than three meters long, under his armpit with one hand, making it look like a knight charging with a lance.

And the next second when he and Qilin appeared in the eyes of the war beast, "Bang~Puchi!"

"Ow!!!"

The momentum of the ancient dragon and the demon hunter's own strength made the broad and heavy sword pierce straight into the shoulder socket of the war beast as it leaned forward, like stabbing into tofu!

The width of [Turbid Stream·Destruction] and the destructive dragon-attribute energy on the blade are too great to ignore.

So much so that the sword blade, which was stabbed in like a lance charge, first squeezed into the rock-skin-like skin of the war beast.

Then it devoured, corroded, and cut apart the flesh and bones.

The sword blade stabbed in from the shoulder socket, and if we don't consider the width of [Muddy Flow·Destruction], it can almost be said to have been 'cut' in!
The skin and muscles were cut first, and then the shoulder blade was torn apart by the impact inside the body and pushed inward by the sword blade.

As the war beast screamed, it was almost pierced through from the shoulder to the ribs on the same side by a barrel!

Qilin landed on the ground, stepped firmly again, and changed direction lightly, while Lan En drew away the huge sword blade without any reluctance.

Logically speaking, the puncture wounds left by [Muddy Flow·Destruction] were large enough to fit half a person in.

But after Lan En drew his sword and left, there was only a layer of black mist with bright red arcs flashing on it, which was still constantly corroding the flesh and blood.

The war beast was supporting itself on all fours when the bones on one side of its upper body were shattered in an instant. It immediately tilted toward the wound and could no longer hold on.

On its back, on the simple catapult platform, the orcs operating the machine had no time to react to what was happening and fell down screaming.

But it still has a good ending.

Because the gears of the catapult were already in place just now.

At the moment the war beast fell over, there was a loud 'bang' and its already tilted body was shaken by a wave of flesh due to its tilted posture and it was completely unable to withstand the reverse thrust.

The catapult, which was also tilted, threw the stones in another direction.

The stones not far from the ground rolled away almost all the way with the momentum given by the catapult.

Not to mention that he crushed several orcs on the way, he finally stopped after crashing into the hind legs of a war beast that was equally thick-skinned and heavy.

With a teeth-grinding 'crack' sound of broken bones, the foot of the other war beast was smashed almost 90 degrees to the side!
