C1790 Complete Annihilation
Their skin was torn and their flesh was torn. The defense that the giants were proud of was penetrated by the black streams of light like tofu. Fresh blood immediately poured down like rain as their miserable cries shook the sky.
“ AH... Awoo... Howl..."
The pitiful giants were unable to move as they stepped into the trap. They could only become the living targets of the black streams of light.
The impact of the black light was very terrifying. It directly penetrated the body of the first giant and then pierced into the body of the second giant.
Over a hundred giants fell in a row like rice grains, letting out heaven-shaking roars.
The entire plain was immediately filled with a thick stench of blood.
"This... How is this possible..."
Myriad Monarch and Lan Ying looked at everything in front of them with disbelief in their eyes and let out furious roars.
They had never thought that the Gnomes Clan, which could only live underground, would be able to create such a powerful hidden weapon.
Those giants stepped on the traps and were unable to move. They didn't have any defensive abilities, so they became living targets and were shot to death.
Ye Xu put his hands behind his back and revealed a confident expression. This result was within his expectation.
Although the crossbow carts made by the dwarves were powerful, they also had huge weaknesses.
One was that the body of the vehicle was very heavy and was not conducive to guerilla warfare. Just aiming required a period of time, and with this period of time... Even a slow giant would be able to safely dodge it. That was why Ye Xu had Lee Mutou and the others dig many traps to seal the giant's movements. This way, the ballista would have enough time to attack.
There was another weakness of the ballista, which was that it could not change the direction of the arrow. Moreover, it could only be used once, so it could not be used again for the time being.
Luckily, Myriad Monarch had only brought a hundred giants in a hurry to cause trouble for him. If there were twice as many of them, even Ye Xu would have a headache over this. But now, five ballista bolts had shot out a thousand arrows. More than half of the giants had been killed. The remaining giants were trembling with fear. They didn't dare to go forward, giving Ye Xu the best chance to attack.
“ * Roar... * Awoo..."
The surviving giants let out miserable howls. Some of the giants were hit by several crossbow arrows, but they did not die for a moment. Their bodies were still twitching, and they were about to die.
The ballista bolts were made from special hard ores. They could easily penetrate steel plates. No matter how strong the defense of the giants was, they could not compare to steel plates. Therefore, they were easily penetrated.
In just one wave of attack, eighty to ninety giants had fallen. The remaining dozen giants were mostly injured. They lay on the ground, trembling, and did not dare to move at all.
Ye Xu smiled and pointed at Myriad Monarch. "Sir Emperor, it looks like you have lost again!"
Myriad Monarch's face was ashen and his lips trembled. His face was full of disbelief as he said, "Impossible, impossible, how can I possibly lose, how is this possible..."
It was not that he could not accept defeat, but he had been defeated by a race that did not have any fighting ability twice in a row. This kind of disparity was not something Myriad Monarch could accept.
As for Lan Ying, his face was so gloomy that it seemed like water was about to drip out of it.
He didn't expect Ye Xu to create such a ballista, which was completely out of his expectations.
The powerful giants couldn't even get close to them, and 90% of them were dead or injured. The remaining dozen giants were scared to death, and they didn't have the courage to fight.
Ye Xu said faintly, "I have already said it before. It is not a race with strong combat strength that can win against a race with weak combat strength. Myriad Monarch, I will not give you any more chances this time."
As he said that, Lee Mutou and Little Wang rushed forward with the men from Wood Tribe. All of them were holding bows made from ore.
However, these bows and crossbows were small in size.
The Gnomes Clan was indeed worthy of being called the king of the underground. Lee Mutou and the others had spent so much effort to forge these parts, but in less than half a day, they had already made a huge pile of them in front of the Gnomes Clan.
Of course, it was all thanks to Ye Xu's teachings that the Gnomes Clan was able to improve their efficiency so quickly.
Almost all the members of the Gnomes Clan were mobilized, but they only managed to produce five ballistae and ten small crossbows. All of them were equipped to Lee Mutou and the others.0
Lee Mutou and the others had gone through a period of hunting wild beasts. Now, they were very familiar with the usage of crossbows.
Ye Xu asked Lee Mutou and the others to hunt for food. He also wanted to train them. After all, actual combat was the best way to train them.
Lee Mutou and the others did not disappoint the crowd. Soon, they trained a crossbow skill.
This had nothing to do with their experience in logging. After all, logging was simple. However, the texture of each tree was different from the fracture point. They wanted to quickly logging. They needed to quickly find the fracture point of the wood, which required very good eyesight.
Although Lan Ying had given him the ability to differentiate stars, Ye Xu did not simply rely on stars to judge a person's potential.
Now, he had trained Lee Mutou and the others into very good archer.
Lee Mutou and Lil'Wang rushed to the front of the giant that was still alive, raised the crossbow in their hands, and pulled the trigger expressionlessly.
With a puff sound, the arrows easily pierced through the giant's skin and killed him.
A whole hundred giants were dead. Not a single one of them survived.
Myriad Monarch looked at the corpses of the giants on the plain with a blank expression on his face.
Suddenly, his body trembled slightly, and countless light spots were emitted from his body.
"What... What is going on?!"
Myriad Monarch cried out in fear.
Ye Xu said calmly, "Your army has been completely wiped out, so you have lost. The loser will be killed by the rules of this world. Goodbye, Myriad Monarch..."
"What? I don't want to die... I don't want to die..."
The fear of death surged into Myriad Monarch's heart. He covered his face with both hands and screamed. However, as time passed, more and more light spots floated in his body, and his body became illusory.
"Lan Ying, save me... save me... I don't want to die..."
Myriad Monarch shouted.
Lan Ying's face darkened. He looked at Myriad Monarch who was about to disappear. He indeed had the ability to save Myriad Monarch, but Lan Ying had already been affected by the karma. He would never make a move.
If he saved Myriad Monarch, it would be equivalent to violating the rules of this world. Even he wouldn't be able to live a good life.
"No... Lan Ying, save me. I don't want to die..."
Myriad Monarch saw that Lan Ying didn't move, and his voice became even more shrill. Unfortunately, Lan Ying didn't make a move until his soul dispersed.
