Chapter 1338
Over a dozen of them hacked at a single Night Demon together, and instead the Night Demon was the one shrieking again and again from the cuts.
Fu Yi also roared out: "Fang Cheng, what are you doing? Hurry up and remove the Fear from everyone! If you're out of spiritual power, take a pill! Everyone else, follow the skeletons and kill—don't hold back energy, finish this fast!"
The hero Fang Cheng said: "Wait another 5 seconds, my spiritual energy already ran out, it'll be ready in a moment."
Su Qin was also directing: "Li Qi, how are you? How much spiritual power do you have left? Hold on a little longer, the battle will be over soon."
Li Qi said: "My spiritual power is recovering, I'll be able to use Purify again in a moment."
At the rear of the army, however, all was calm.
The Night Demons kept casting Fear on the female soldiers.
But when the purple Fear struck them, it was like nothing more than purple neon lighting up their stunningly beautiful, cold faces for an instant—beyond that, it had no effect at all.
The female soldiers stared at the Night Demons in the darkness, looking exactly like tigers staring at cats.
Those Night Demons were intelligent beings too.
Though their intelligence wasn't high, their instinct for danger was still very sharp.
They knew these female soldiers were not to be trifled with; not a single one dared step forward, and they all slipped aside to tear at the skeletons instead.
"Gu Qing, go support the others. You only need to use Cleansing Body Technique and healing technique. Take twenty of those medics with you, leave ten in the main force as reserves."
"Understood. Yi Shi, bring your people and follow me."
The medic captain Yi Shi waved her hand, and twenty medics immediately scattered to the front lines.
Though they were support-class female soldiers, they all wore full sets of Mystic Maiden battle armor, so there was no problem with their safety.
Soon, the figures of the female medics appeared in every squad, continuously healing everyone.
The battle continued.
The night was the Night Demons' home ground.
However, Fear was ultimately only a restrictive spiritual technique, and could not directly harm enemies.
If the Night Demons also numbered 8,000, they would have won for sure.
Unfortunately, the Night Demons only numbered a little over 1,700—in the end, too few.
Against the iron-armored soldiers charging at the front, the Night Demons found it hard to inflict any serious casualties.
And though the allied forces of the Green Bamboo Group appeared to be on the defensive, every charge steadily killed multiple Night Demons.
The night remained, but the number of Night Demons kept dwindling.
Geng Zhan's shoulder was clawed open.
But it was healed in an instant.
"Phew~ thanks. Are you one of Zhao Chi's people?"
"Yes, please be careful," a female medic said softly.
Geng Zhan gripped his hammer tight: "These damn Night Demons really are a bit tougher than I imagined, but it ends here. Everyone, buck up—once more, Crushing Rock!!"
"Yes!"
The orcs' voices spread across the battlefield in the darkness.
Xiang Yuan laughed: "Geng Zhan, how's it going over there? You weren't scared, were you?"
Geng Zhan roared: "How could we be? We've already smashed over a hundred of them dead."
Xiang Yuan said: "I've already moved 1,000 skeletons over to the front. Be careful not to hit them by mistake—my skeletons can draw the skills at the front. You focus on attacking right behind my skeletons!"
Geng Zhan snorted: "Unnecessary!"
Fu Yi shouted loudly: "Zhao Chi, thanks for your female heroes helping us remove the Fear. Are you all right over there?"
Zhao Chi shouted back: "I'm fine. Keep it up."
Su Qin gave the order: "There aren't many enemies left, everyone, don't be afraid—just hold on a little longer!"
The words had barely fallen when dawn broke.
Without any warning, it suddenly turned bright.
The noon sun blazed fiercely.
It suddenly poured down upon the earth, and no one could keep their eyes open.
It was like a lamp being switched on in the middle of sleep—one could only squint and fight.
The Night Demons, suddenly exposed to sunlight, were all stunned for a moment.
Looking at their numbers, there should only be a few hundred left.
Though it wasn't clear what had happened, it was probably that the Night Demon chieftain's spiritual power had run out and could no longer sustain that spiritual technique.
This was good.
Home ground had returned!
Su Qin said: "Excellent, it's daylight! Everyone, charge! Strike while the iron is hot—don't hesitate!"
Geng Zhan cursed: "Damn it, it's finally light! I can see now—smash them all dead for me! Mountain Overwhelming!!"
Geng Zhan leaped up and slammed down heavily.
A Night Demon was smashed directly into a pulp of flesh.
The other orcs all leaped up as well, slamming down onto the Night Demons one by one.
Over a hundred were smashed dead in an instant.
"Skeletons, surround them—don't let a single one escape! Frenzy!" Xiang Yuan commanded loudly.
The Gao Jie skeletons' movement and attack speed instantly surged, as they madly charged at the Night Demons outside.
Those Night Demons, which had been sliding away, were actually caught up by the skeletons, instantly swarmed, and then hacked apart in a wild frenzy.
The Night Demons were stronger than the skeletons in combat.
But now they couldn't fight back at all—blades seemed to come from everywhere, and they were torn apart in an instant.
"Spearmen thrust, sabermen chain-dance, crossbowmen pierce—drain all your energy! Energy rising!" Fu Yi's whole body radiated blue light.
At the same moment, Fu Yi's soldiers' bodies lit up with blue radiance.
Their eyes immediately flashed with spirit; they kept using every kind of battle technique, clearly possessing far more energy than ordinary people.
Su Qin said: "Now we can see the targets. Everyone pay attention—Gathering Energy Arrow!"
The elves' bows gathered a massive amount of white light.
The white light compressed, gradually concentrating on the arrowheads.
"Fire!"
Swish swish swish swish swish!
Swish swish swish swish swish!
Arrows trailing white light streaked out one after another.
After striking the Night Demons, each one punched straight through, leaving a clean hole from front to back.
The Night Demons instantly became sieves.
Zhao Chi did not move.
He only silently watched the others fight.
It seemed everyone had their own specialty.
And each person's ability was formidable.
They simply couldn't bring it out in the dark of night, but now they were all displaying their true strength.
Worthy of being town-level lords.
Within a few minutes after dawn, the Night Demons outside were wiped out.
The entire battlefield was a scene of devastation.
Grey-black Night Demon corpses lay everywhere.
A few scattered bits of shattered skeleton, and the occasional orc or human corpse, but very few.
Su Qin said: "Only the Night Demon camp remains. Everyone, charge in—don't give them a chance to catch their breath."
The rest of the battle was a complete rout.
In daylight, the Night Demons' fear spell was clearly far weaker than at night.
Though the group still felt their hearts pound under the fear spell, they no longer panicked.
The Night Demons in the camp used fear spells frantically, but the tide had already turned.
The final Night Demon chieftain was slain by their combined assault.
Several dozen more Night Demons were captured.
Geng Zhan and the others cleaned up the battlefield.
