Chapter 1562: Chapter 1562
The brothers of the Brotherhood of Sword Spike were somewhat unbearable, and many would immediately flinch at the slightest pain, instinctively evading and parrying.
But in such close-quarters combat, what matters is the blood courage; the moment fear and retreat emerge, the enemy will inevitably cling on relentlessly, pressing step by step, awaiting them with a storm-like attack, attack, and attack again.
The Laiserman people demonstrated in action what it means that offense is the best defense. When their attacks suppressed the enemy so much that they couldn’t lift their heads, how could the enemy find time to attack?
Those solid wooden sticks couldn’t withstand the storm-like attacks of the Laiserman; many were forcibly snapped by them.
These Laiserman were unhurried and composed, each employing different tactics.
Some used the broken sticks like short rods.
Some snatched weapons from the enemy’s hands.
Some casually picked up hard objects from the street to use as weapons.
Some even directly swung their fists to continue charging forward.
The Laiserman’s Fang Squad truly resembled individual fangs, biting deeply into the ranks of the Brotherhood of Sword Spike.
The posture was such that, instead of the numerically superior Brotherhood of Sword Spike surrounding the Laiserman Fang Combat Team, it seemed like the Laiserman, with their Fang Tactic, were forcibly dividing the Brotherhood of Sword Spike.
If not for the Sword Spike Elites in Far East Bright Armor standing in the most central position, as steadfast as a pillar, unaffected by the Laiserman’s frenzied attacks, the brothers of the Brotherhood of Sword Spike would likely have been overwhelmed.
When the Laiserman’s fangs encountered them, it was like hitting a hard bone of steel, with over eighty percent of the hardwood sticks breaking upon them, yet the effect was rather ordinary.
Although blunt force is an effective attack method against such armor, it also requires the right weapon.
The blunt force generated by the hardwood sticks was indeed limited.
"Regroup with us, form a battle formation," Ferrican loudly commanded.
Since the Laiserman Witch on the other side had no intention to act, indicating concerns similar to theirs and only speaking with fists, he no longer hesitated, forming a dense attack and defense formation centered around the Sword Spike Elites.
The brothers wearing Far East Bright Armor stood on the outside, withstanding the storm-like attacks of the Laiserman, while those with relatively thin armor were protected inside, allowing them to focus on launching counterattacks.
The brothers of the Brotherhood of Sword Spike had clearly undergone special militia training, responding very swiftly and soon filling into the round formation constituted by the Sword Spike Elites.
The entire formation wasn’t large, only about forty to fifty people, but the situation immediately reversed.
With those in Far East Bright Armor resisting the Laiserman’s storm-like attacks, the rest of the Brotherhood of Sword Spike immediately had their hands free to launch counterattacks.
The frenzy and excitement of the Laiserman could not mask the injuries they had sustained, and soon many became battered and entered a weakened state.
The Frenzied Berserk is extremely draining of energy and spirit. Before reaching a certain professional level, where they can directly absorb magic power from the outside world to replenish their spiritual and physical energy, this state is difficult to sustain for a long time.
Prolonged battle is undoubtedly the best countermeasure against intermediate-low level berserkers.
Normally, this is indeed the case.
But there’s a disruptor in the mix.
Gaven, who had been mingling with the Laiserman and watching the battle up close, pointed the Dragon Oak Staff in his hand towards the sky, saying forcefully: "Light of Life."
Dazzling emerald green light erupted from his body, instantly sweeping across the Laiserman within a twenty-meter radius centered on him.
Mild natural force washed over their souls and bodies, cleansing away their fatigue and injuries.
After synchronizing with the Dragon Oak Mother Tree, Gaven was granted a divine arts-like ability by the Dragon Oak Mother Tree.
Since acquiring it, the number of times it’s been used can be counted on one hand.
But undeniably, the power of this ability is formidable.
It is an indisputable group healing.
Coupled with the Yalings’ Fairy Step, it is practically an invincible group combat support ability.
After flickering a few times, he appeared beside another group of weakened Laiserman.
A consecutive four instances of Light of Life.
Directly restored the Laiserman Fang Squad to peak state.
"The Soul of Nature will be with us, we are invincible."
"We shall win every battle, conquer any challenge." Fınd the newest release on 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝✦𝘧𝙞𝙧𝙚✦𝕟𝕖𝕥
"Victory is inevitable!"
The morale of the Laiserman soared directly to its peak state.
"Cheating, this is blatant cheating."
"What kind of spell is this? It can conduct precise group healing?"
"Who on earth is this guy? Is he a warrior or a priest?"
The morale of the Brotherhood of Sword Spike plummeted; they had been countering the Laiserman for half a day, yet after just four instances of group healing spells, the adversary was reset to their pre-conflict state.
The problem is, no one knows how many more such spells the other side can still cast.
If it happens two more rounds, even the Sword Spike Elites wouldn’t be able to withstand it, as the weight of the Far East Bright Armor soaked by rain greatly increases, with the wet cold also intensifying their physical exhaustion.
Before long, whether or not they are defeated by the Laiserman, they’d be pushed to the brink of collapse from sheer exhaustion.
The Laiserman unleashed their trump card.
The totemic phantoms on the Laiserman berserkers were also tainted with crimson, roaring madly as if they wanted to struggle out of their bodies, muscles further bulged, becoming thicker and more robust.
