Chapter 2370

Between them lay many shattered skeletons, shot-to-pieces goblins, fallen human warriors, and numerous aerial creatures bearing feathers of various colors.

Beneath almost every defensive tower lay vast piles of corpses.

All were scattered in disarray across the area.

Of course, there were no shortage of elven corpses either.

Many lay dead atop the defensive towers, half their bodies dangling outside, their heads and arms hanging limply, threatening to fall at any moment.

And below lay even more elven corpses.

It appeared some were melee-type elves, while others were elves who had fallen from the defensive towers.

Beneath the thousands of defensive towers, the scene was almost entirely the same.

Outside the city walls was nothing short of a slaughterhouse.

Piles of various corpses stretched far into the distance, and even up to the newest battlefield far away, the number of corpses never diminished.

Ren Yunchuan's elves had pushed the enemy back so far...

That was truly formidable.

However, those elves did not stand on the ground and clash head-on with the enemy; if they had, even with elven bows, they could not have defeated the werewolves.

The werewolves possessed great strength.

They could not be underestimated; they had to be faced squarely.

Yet outside the city walls, there were still numerous tree stumps and defensive towers, with many gangplanks between the towers, allowing the elves to easily climb the defensive towers and swiftly transfer between clusters of towers.

Now the werewolves had been driven far back, but Ren Yunchuan was already leading the elves in a pursuit while firing arrows.

From Zhao Chi's angle, he could see the dense masses of enemy soldiers in the distance.

The vast majority were werewolves.

The werewolves' formation was not a square, but a circular array.

A circular array... it seemed not quite that either.

Because those werewolves were gathered in groups; each group of werewolves clustered together formed an overall circle, making it look like a circular array.

There were easily hundreds of such werewolf groups.

Stretching from the distance all the way to the horizon.

Each group contained hundreds of werewolves.

Leading them were over a dozen yellow-furred werewolf Golden Body Warriors, followed by dozens of white-furred werewolf Royal Warriors, with the rest being gray-furred and brown-furred mid-tier werewolves.

At a rough glance.

The quality of every werewolf pack was very high; each had a large number of tier 5–6 werewolves leading them, while the remaining low-tier werewolves were all tier 3–4, with very few of even lower tiers.

Their combat power was truly formidable.

The werewolf packs looked chaotic.

Some groups were here, some there; some positions were very dense, while in other places they were so sparse they were almost nonexistent.

Werewolves had their own methods and rules of engagement, which humans could not understand.

Yet if one advanced rashly, one would immediately find oneself surrounded by werewolves, swallowed up, and unable to escape ever again.

Besides the werewolf packs.

There were also many other clans.

At the very front, engaged in combat, were vast numbers of Steel-Armored Skeletons.

Those skeletons were massive in size, clad head to toe in steel armor and steel shields, charging fearlessly into the hail of arrows.

On both flanks were vast numbers of Orcs and Giant-Beastmen flanking them; Orcs possessed innate high morale and an innate love for battle, making them an excellent race for Vanguard Commanders and melee combat.

The werewolves, meanwhile, flanked forward with abnormally wild ferocity while the others fought, fierce and swift.

Behind the skeletons and Orcs were many goblins wielding metal javelins.

Their numbers were extremely large; their javelins and the elves' arrows collided, crisscrossed, and shot at each other in the sky.

Besides this.

In the air were also numerous Long-Tailed Fierce Birds, Two-Headed Eagles, Winged Bats, and other aerial units.

However, under Ren Yunchuan's ferocious rain of arrows, all aerial units dared not approach, hovering only at a distance.

The vast piles of feathered corpses seen just now belonged to these aerial units.

It seemed the enemy had suffered a heavy defeat from their rash attack earlier.

However.

It could be seen.

The enemy force was absolutely a massive army.

It was also a mixed combined-arms group.

Their strength was truly formidable.

Corresponding to this were the soldiers on Ren Yunchuan's side.

Ren Yunchuan's troop composition was very simple.

Only elves and humans.

Of course, there were also a small number of other auxiliary races, but their numbers were very few.

Among the elves, besides archers of various equivalent tiers, there were also vast numbers of Steel-Armored Elven Swordsmen, all renowned for their attack speed; they were somewhat like the Moon Clan led by Qi Yue, with extremely fast attack speeds and agile movements.

Of course, their combat power was not on the same level as the Moon Clan's, but they were still very competent agile-type warriors.

And those primarily responsible for maintaining the battle line were human warriors.

A human's equivalent tier could not be discerned from appearance; low-tier and Gao Jie humans did not undergo any morphological changes.

But judging from the heavy-armored warriors who could directly block the Orcs and the ferocious charges of the Gao Jie skeletons, they were likely all tier 5–6 Royal Soldiers and Legendary Soldiers, the top combat power among human soldiers.

On the defense towers, at the heart of the elven archers, numerous Great Spirit Healers and Great Archmages constantly used spiritual techniques to heal and attack.

The entire battlefield was extremely chaotic.

The sounds of slaughter were deafening.

But there was no way around it; a battle of this scale could not possibly be fought in perfect order.

It was bound to be utterly chaotic.

Under such circumstances, it came down to the capabilities of the officers at every level on both sides.

Besides the main front.

There were also two secondary battlefields on the left and right.

The fighting on both flanks was entirely in a defensive posture; although the enemy attacked fiercely, they could only stalemate Ren Yunchuan's defensive forces.

Although the human warriors lacked a size advantage, they were not weak.

Plus, with the elven archers on the defense towers launching fierce assaults, the enemy, despite having superior numbers on the flanks, simply could not break through.

Ren Yunchuan's main forces were concentrated on the main battlefield.

Although the enemy was ferocious.

Skeletons and orcs charged forward as if they feared no death, while goblin javelins flew in dense swarms.

But...

They simply could not match the huge group of elven archers wielding elven bows, especially the thousand female archers among them clad in full ceremonial attire.

In the hands of elves, the elven bow was truly too powerful.

There were numerous buffs: Attack +50, Attack +235%, Range +25%, Movement Speed +100%, Draw Weight -100%.

This was merely the standard attribute.

After all, many of these elves were Gao Jie elven archers of the 5th to 6th tier; they were professional archers with extremely strong archery skills and provided immense bonuses to the elven bow.

Basically, these Gao Jie archers could at least double the elven bow's attributes.

Moreover, Ren Yunchuan was the Grand Captain after all, possessing numerous bonus skills or talents for bows and archers.

When such an arrow was loosed...

Who could block it?

Even wearing steel armor, it would take only a few hits.

What about the massive, fat, and bulky giant orcs?

They were still shot until their armor shattered, their bodies riddled with bloody holes.

Furthermore, what was loosed was a rain of arrows.

The power of every single arrow was immense.

The enemy was actually very strong as well.
