Chapter 788

Su Xiao aimed the 【Ghost Hunter】 at the dwarf lying on the ground. Just as he was about to pull the trigger, a familiar sound of breaking air came from above.

Su Xiao, who was already familiar with the battlefield, didn't need to look to know what it was. With that unique sound, it must be a "Green Phosphorus Fire Incendiary Bottle."

The fact was exactly so. A "Green Phosphorus Fire Incendiary Bottle" the size of a water vat flew over in a parabolic arc. According to Su Xiao's preliminary estimation, this thing would likely land a few meters away from him.

The power of the green phosphorus fire was obvious to all. Furthermore, a new batch of tribal troops was surging toward Su Xiao. Once the "Green Phosphorus Fire Incendiary Bottle" landed, it would be difficult for him to leave the burning area of the green phosphorus fire. Noticing this, he simply gave up on killing the dwarf lying on the ground and instead aimed the Ghost Hunter at the "Green Phosphorus Fire Incendiary Bottle" in mid-air.

The "Green Phosphorus Fire Incendiary Bottle" spun in mid-air, which greatly increased the difficulty of aiming.

"Kill him."

"Avenge our fallen comrades!"

"Hold him down, the green phosphorus bottle is coming, let's die together!"

The surrounding Orcs and dwarves rushed forward, their eyes wishing they could swallow Su Xiao alive.

Over a dozen Imperial soldiers rushed over. Su Xiao still maintained the posture of holding the crossbow and aiming. His breathing slowed, the shaking of the crossbow's sight decreased, and at this moment, he only heard his own breathing in his ears; the roars of those tribal troops were ignored by him.

Pulling the trigger of the crossbow, the crossbow string emitted a subtle sound of breaking air, and a bolt made of energy shot out.

The energy bolt flew extremely fast and accurately hit the "Green Phosphorus Fire Incendiary Bottle" in mid-air.

With a crack, the glass bottle shattered, and the green liquid inside splashed in mid-air. The green liquid reacted upon contact with the air, and the green phosphorus fire appeared.

A large amount of green phosphorus fire fell into the tribal army. The tribal troops burned by the green phosphorus fire screamed repeatedly. The green phosphorus fire was very vicious; not only was the temperature high, but it also had strong adhesion, like a flame dripping after plastic burns. As long as a tiny bit touched the skin, a deep hole would be burned into the body.

Solving the threat of the "Green Phosphorus Fire Incendiary Bottle," Su Xiao put away the 【Ghost Hunter】, the Counter-Attack Shield expanded to the surroundings, and the long blade in his hand slashed open the bodies of enemies one by one.

After a while, Su Xiao stood on a pile of corpses, looking down from above.

The surrounding tribal army charged onto the pile of corpses without fear of death, with the momentum of using human-wave tactics to pile Su Xiao to death.

Su Xiao, who used a long blade as his main weapon, was very suitable for group combat. Coupled with the Counter-Attack Shield and Green Steel Shadow ability, human-wave tactics couldn't defeat him in a short time.

Mana and health could recover quickly, but stamina was always a problem.

Su Xiao's stamina attribute was very high. Facing the siege of the tribal army, he could not be defeated for a long time, but he was not a machine; he would get tired sooner or later.

Although in the previous battle, Su Xiao fought for a day and a night, he often "slacked off" at that time and would even play dead to recover stamina.

This time it was different. Su Xiao was in urgent need of war merit. If he couldn't obtain sufficient war merit this time, the 【Holy Oak Branch】 would likely be redeemed by some adventure group concentrating their war merits.

Therefore, in this battle, Su Xiao had to kill enemies with all his might. While the number of enemies killed soared, his stamina was consumed rapidly.

With a crack, the Counter-Attack Shield shattered for the fifth time. Fortunately, Su Xiao's mana had been fully restored by killing enemies, and a new Counter-Attack Shield was generated immediately.

Whoosh~ Boom!

Green Phosphorus Fire Incendiary Bottles, arrow rains, bolt-reamers, etc., flew over the sky from time to time. None of these things were easy to deal with; after all, they were all weapons of war.

Looking down from high altitude, the Imperial and tribal armies continued to surge onto the Black Soil Fortress. Soldiers from both sides died in large batches and charged in large batches.

Explosions, the wails of the wounded, sky-high shouts of battle, the roars of officers—these sounds made the battlefield very chaotic. A large number of soldiers whose eyes were red with killing even began to accidentally injure their companions.

At this moment, all the soldiers were like madmen. Having fought to this extent, even if the leaders of both sides wanted to stop the war, they couldn't. This battle could only have one result: one side would be knocked off the Black Soil Fortress and retreat to their territory.

The Imperial army was to protect their homeland, and the tribal army was to ensure their people would no longer be hungry or cold. The reasons for both sides made sense. Therefore, the war would not stop; it must end only when one side left a large number of corpses and retreated.

There were three large war zones in the war world. If the danger coefficient of the other two war zones was two stars, the Black Soil war zone was at least five stars.

Relatively speaking, there were more opportunities to gain benefits in the Black Soil war zone; danger and opportunity coexisted.

Of course, not everyone liked this kind of opportunity, such as the current Symbiosis Alliance adventure group.

The Symbiosis Alliance was a medium-sized adventure group, including the leader, with a total of 9 members, belonging to a medium-sized adventure group with an average number of people.

The leader of the Symbiosis Alliance, Commander Ge, had his eyes on the 【Holy Oak Branch】. Therefore, after the war began, he led people to charge onto the Black Soil Fortress.

Just after engaging with the tribal army, Commander Ge found something wrong. The enemy's defense and attack power were not comparable to the enemies in the previous battle. As for retreating from the Black Soil Fortress, it was impossible. There were too many friendly soldiers behind him. With Su Xiao's strength attribute, they were all squeezed onto the Black Soil Fortress.

Facing the tribal army whose defense, attack power, and troop quality had improved by several levels, one hour after the war began, the Symbiosis Alliance's main tank and two secondary tanks fell, hacked into pulp by over a hundred special-unit Berserker Orcs.

An adventure group was a whole. This whole had Qiyuezhe specializing in different physical lengths such as front row, control, and fire support. The moment the main tank fell, Commander Ge was already ashen-faced.

In just five minutes, the Symbiosis Alliance was scattered by the tribal army. The team members decreased from 9 to 7, and it was still falling rapidly.

Twenty minutes later, the Symbiosis Alliance was wiped out. Leader Commander Ge died in the hands of an Orc big boss, a Minotaur. He let Commander Ge taste the Minotaur's... no, the taste of the horns.

The first adventure group to be wiped out on the battlefield appeared. The Qiyuezhe from the Reincarnation Paradise suffered heavy casualties, and the Apocalypse Paradise side was no better, also beaten by the Imperial army to the point of doubting life.

Adventure groups didn't like this kind of large-scale battle. They were more willing to besiege powerful plot characters or big bosses. That was what adventure groups were best at. After all, their ability matching was reasonable, and ordinary big bosses would die under their cooperation.

But on the battlefield, this kind of cooperation lost its meaning. The number of enemies was simply too many. The more people in the adventure group, the larger the target, and the more soldiers they faced at the same time. In this way, the advantage became a disadvantage. Of course, if the numbers of both sides were the same, the adventure group would definitely crush the soldiers.

Adventure groups were not suitable for this kind of battlefield, but there were people who were suitable, and that was the lone wolf. Most lone wolves, even if they didn't develop multiple attributes, would use skills or equipment to make up for their weaknesses, which meant lone wolves had no obvious shortcomings.

Moreover, the number of soldiers a lone wolf faced at the same time was far lower than that of an adventure group, so they had a greater possibility of surviving in the war.

Of course, some adventure groups also did well on the battlefield. They used their own soldiers as cover and didn't charge to the front line. If they did this, the gains were not as high as charging to the front line.

Su Xiao liked this kind of challenging war zone. He had already killed happily within the tribal army. Every blade had an enemy fall. He stood on the towering pile of corpses, and both the Imperial officers and the tribal leaders noticed him. The Imperial officers' attention meant promotion and wealth, while the tribal leaders' attention meant stronger enemies.

Su Xiao leaped off the pile of corpses. After landing, he killed a bloody path in the tribal army. He didn't want to be targeted by too strong an enemy, and then, things went against his wishes.
