Chapter 940: Chapter 940
After instantly breaking the Giants’ advantage, the mercenaries took this opportunity to advance several steps forward, continuously pressing on the Giants’ formation. The advantage was steadily transforming.
The Giants were incredibly brave, each of them unafraid of death, even the tier five Giants were no different. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝓷𝓮𝓽
Even with severe injuries, they continued to attack, each vying to be the bravest, exerting great oppressive force. Unfortunately, these Giants fell far behind in terms of formation and cooperation.
On the contrary, it was different for the Humans. The Sword Cultivators in the air were always protecting themselves, seizing opportunities to strike.
And on the ground, the injured Ice-armored Warriors and Giant Sword Warriors would retreat, allowing their companions to step forward, while they quickly recovered from their injuries in the back, some even consuming medicine to heal before advancing again.
The Ice Thorn Dragon Knights were even faster. After getting injured, they would hide in the back and surprise the opponent with a quick strike. Due to the difference in levels, almost every attack from the Ice Thorn Dragon Knights resulted in a lethal situation.
If it weren’t for the support of these Ice Thorn Dragon Knights here, they probably would not have been able to gain such an advantageous situation.
The more they saw the strength of the Ice Thorn Dragon Knights, the more uneasy Director Wang and Li Daxian felt in their hearts. This kid’s luck was too good, triggering envy in the hearts of these veteran tier five experts.
Of course, neither of them would resort to any underhanded tactics over this matter, still choosing to proceed normally.
At this moment, the Flame Giant that had been inactive in the back came forward. This was the largest of all the Flame Giants and their chieftain, the strongest among them. Merely in stature, he stood at fifty-two feet tall, far surpassing any other Giants. As soon as this Giant stepped out, Director Wang knew it was his time to act.
"We’re going in too," Director Wang said as he directly plunged his hand into the Void, and two huge hands appeared in the air, grabbing towards the Flame Giant chieftain. Seeing the two hands, the Giant chieftain stopped and swung his scepter viciously at them.
"Hmph, the methods are all the same, just a bit more strength," snickered Director Wang as he intensified his own power.
"Are you doing okay? This guy looks tough to deal with."
"Not too bad, not as troublesome as the previous two Giants combined," replied Director Wang as he continued his assault. In front of him, the Flame Giant and the two giant hands constantly collided, the resulting blasts pulverizing the surrounding rocks.
After battling for two minutes in what seemed like a harmless fight, Li Daxian’s eyes suddenly burst forth with a golden light. His flying sword, without warning, shot out as Li Daxian had already locked onto his target, just waiting for this moment.
The Sword Qi flashed by in the blink of an eye, leaving Li Daxian looking somewhat wilted, but the effect was excellent. The Giant chieftain lost a leg and an arm. For a Giant who relied on its body to fight, such injuries were enough to determine life and death.
"Despicable Humans, you use your numbers to bully fewer," the enraged voice of the Flame Giants’ chieftain boomed.
However, the two men paid no heed, as the heavily injured Flame Giant had no chance to escape in their hands. Finally, before the other Flame Giants could come to aid, Director Wang crushed the chieftain’s skull. At the same time, Li Daxian’s sword pierced the Giant chieftain’s heart. Both men withdrew their hands, not continuing the assault.
To kill such a powerful Giant chieftain in such a short time, both men had expended a great deal of energy.
Now, the remaining Flame Giants went into a frenzy, even managing to reverse the already weakened situation for a moment. But in the end, they were still at a disadvantage, and the tier five Flame Giants continued to die, one after another.
After five hours of battle, only five Flame Giants remained. Having rested until now, Director Wang and Li Daxian took action together. With their help, they killed the remaining Flame Giants.
"What a bloody victory," Du You felt a painful sorrow. In fact, Li Daxian’s losses were much greater than his own.
All of the Giant Sword Warriors had died, not a single one left—that counterattack from the Giants had been formidable.
His own sixty Ice-armored Warriors had all perished as well. As for the Sword Cultivators in the air, their losses were smaller; now only about twenty-plus remained, but those who survived were almost uninjured.
Indeed, Sword Cultivators had strong attacks and were quick, but their defenses were too weak. Once caught by a Flame Giant, survival was nearly impossible. Hence, a Sword Cultivator soldier who survived with injuries was nothing short of a miracle.
What saddened Du You was that of his Ice Thorn Dragon Knights, only six remained. If it were not for their speed and decent defense, perhaps not even these would have been left.
Out of the six Ice Thorn Dragon Knights, three were severely injured, two had minor injuries, and the one who seemed intact had also expended a lot. Now, only three were fit enough to continue fighting.
"Tier five battle won, Director Wang’s order is for all of us to strike and wipe out the Flame Giants," suddenly, the student council president Gao Qiong shouted. Being able to participate in such a high-end war during school was not just about gaining experience for Gao Qiong; it was also an important credential.
"Right, the battle is not over yet. Let’s hurry up," with that realization, everyone finally reacted. Although the outcome was already decided, the battle had indeed not ended. Some tier five forces may have retreated, but those still capable of fighting continued the slaughter.
To create a safe environment for the students, and since the Flame Giants no longer had the power to resist, breaking the rules didn’t matter anymore. Du You and the two sisters rapidly approached from the air, ready for the final harvest.
Meanwhile, the six hundred tier four Ice-armored Warriors who had not taken action until now were also finally mobilized.
Having previously seen the tier five Ice-armored Warriors in battle, the presence of so many Ice-armored Warriors now attracted a lot of attention. Although these were only tier four, they were still Ice-armored Warriors, after all.
"Let’s check the places where the tier five Giants have died first, see if there’s anything we can use. The sooner the better, otherwise it’ll be tough if we have to compete with others," Du You transmitted to the two sisters.
The two nodded, and mid-flight suddenly changed direction.
"Are you also looking for materials? It just so happens we’re on the same path," from behind, Xi Qianxue and Li Mengyao followed promptly on their flying creatures, though their speed was far inferior to Du You’s.
It must be said that both girls had good intentions. But weren’t these two rivals? How did they end up together, perplexing Du You somewhat.
