Chapter 008: Fierce Battle Against the Fierce Enemy (2)
As the roar subsided, a brilliant array of colors suddenly illuminated the dark and sunless forest. The gleam of the warriors' blades and the radiant power of the mages surged forth, having been long prepared, and swiftly descended upon the Beast Dragon Clan's squad like a tempest.
How could this happen? No language can describe Su Jian's shock
The fresh scent of blood wafted into Su Jian's nose, making him feel utterly nauseated
"It seems that there is no escaping today." Originally, as a supporting member of the Xuanwu Guard, Su Jian was only responsible for reconnaissance, communication, and other non-combat roles; however, given the situation of the battle, could he still say to the enemy: "Hey! I am Su Jian, just a non-combatant, please do not attack me?"
Su Jian reacted swiftly; upon hearing Xiao Ning's battle order, he immediately understood his intentions. It must be that Brother Xiao did not anticipate the formidable strength of the ordinary warriors of the Beast Dragon Clan, and thus made immediate adjustments, intending to employ a wheel battle strategy to eliminate them
Originally, the ambushers from the Huaxia nation seemed to be densely packed, but at this moment, they have noticeably become sparse! In contrast, the Beast Dragon clan's team, consisting of only about 15 or 16 individuals, appears to have suffered almost no reduction in numbers
After a short while, Su Jian, who was crawling behind, forced himself to raise his gaze—little did he know that this glance would leave him utterly astonished
All units, heed the command! Suddenly, Xiao Ning shouted the order, "All units, use the flowing formation, no lingering in battle, no halting, strike and retreat immediately, rotate in turns, and maintain a seamless connection at the front and back!"
As he lowered his head, Su Jian could only hear the wild roars of the Beast Dragon Clan and the furious shouts of the Azure Dragon Army soldiers
The dragon race, whose origins are unknown, is distinct from the Eastern divine dragons and has nearly brought humanity to extinction, truly living up to its reputation. Even the lowest tier of intelligent dragons, as soon as the beast dragon warriors approached, displayed formidable combat power—Su Jian, who was watching from behind, never expected that those elite warriors from the Huaxia nation, in just one encounter, would be seized by the beast dragon warriors' massive claws and torn apart with a roar!
A slick cold sweat instantly trickled down Su Jian's forehead; he instinctively tightened his grip on the Xuanwu Guard standard dagger in his hand, his heart steeling itself, thinking that even if he were to die today, he must at least carve a mark on the beast dragon!
Caught off guard by the sudden raid, the Beast Dragon Clan team was momentarily startled but did not panic. They quickly formed a defensive formation in a concentric circle around the figure in the black robe. The unique massive shields of the Beast Dragon Clan were instantly erected like a wall on the periphery
This, this... for the first time witnessing a real battle between dragons and seeing such an exaggerated casualty ratio, Su Jian was truly frightened
How can we say that we also have the advantage in numbers?" As a non-combatant, Su Jian comforted himself
Accompanied by a tremendous roar, five or six warriors from the Beast Dragon Clan charged forward, relying on their naturally tough skin and thick flesh to withstand the attacks, while several of them leaped swiftly, soon engaging in fierce combat with the human warriors
The instinctive fear caused him to lower his gaze, making a concerted effort to avoid looking at the scene of the conflict
Moreover, as the most valiant and reckless race within the Dragon Empire, the Beast Dragon warriors not only engaged in urgent defense but also launched their counterattack almost simultaneously with great impatience
Will it really be effective? Now, Su Jian's confidence has already sunk to the lowest point
"Are there any slain beast dragons?" He strained to rub his eyes, and only then did he see that among the mountain of corpses of the Azure Dragon Army, there seemed to be two or three massive beast dragon bodies lying down.
At the command, the elite troops of the Qinglong Army, who had been fiercely engaged, immediately changed their formation in front of the Beast Dragon Clan's defensive line, moving swiftly like flowing water
