Chapter 637
The battle erupted just as expected!
Naturally, the first ones to fire were the long-ranged units of both parties.
Both sides of the conflict proceeded like it was one of the ancient noble battles, pouring their firepower at the enemy from a distance of a hundred and fifty meters. The adepts undoubtedly held over ninety percent of the upper hand in this regard.
The violent metal bullets and the elven arrows flashing with magical lights flew past each other in the center of the battlefield, scratching and slicing. Still, most of the projectiles found their way to the enemy frontlines.
On the side of the elves, the seven towering treant warriors shambled forward. They waved their hands woven together with tens of thousands of vines, brambles, and branches and stood shoulder to shoulder in front of the frail elves.
The dense storm of metal bullets crashed against their withered and skinny wooden bodies, sending splinters flying everywhere and sap splashing here and there. Even so, the treant warriors simply grunted in pain while keeping their body upright to block even more of the metal bullets.
The elven archers hiding behind the treant warriors returned fire with all they had, even as they dodged the bullets that slipped by. The arrows of fury screeched through the air and sped toward the continuously advancing magical machine army.
The druids at the back of the formation raised their oaken staffs high and loudly sang praises to the great spirits of nature. As they waved their hands, green halos of Rejuvenation, Heal, and Nature’s Recovery covered the bodies of the treant warriors.
The next second, a terrifyingly massive and immense flame shockwave ravaged in every direction.
This flame shockwave was so vast that it almost engulfed both the elves and adepts within it.
The two adolescent unicorns at the side of the elves stood upon their hind legs, and the spiral horns on their heads let out a blinding white light. They had worked together and erected a Natural Ward in this moment of crisis, protecting the frail ordinary elves among their ranks.
The violent fire elementium that had gone out of control also had the entirety of the druids’ powers mixed within. Thus, the surging energy and the ferocity of the elementium also laid incredible pressure on the two adolescent unicorns.
Pure white hair started to rapidly wither and fall off the unicorns’ bodies at a visible rate. Large burn marks began to appear on their alabaster skin. However, while the wounds generated quickly, they were healed just as fast.
As waves of purification halos washed across their bodies, these wounds started to vanish at a rate visible to the naked eye.
However, at the edge of the Natural Ward, five elven archers were caught in the fire. Sparks of flame ignited upon their bodies, clothes, and hair, quickly spreading across the rest of their bodies. It didn’t matter how they beat the flames or cried; the magical flames couldn’t be extinguished.
They rapidly burned to ashes within a matter of seconds.
Fortunately, with the combined efforts of the treant warriors and the two unicorns, the majority of the elves were finally able to survive the explosion of fire.
The same burst of fire didn’t cause nearly as much trouble on the side of the adepts as it did for the elves.
The magical machines on the frontline didn’t require any special protection from the adepts. As such, the adepts only needed to erect a layer of elementium protection for themselves so they could all last through this riot of burning. The only reason the elves were having such a hard time was that they had far too many ordinary elves in their ranks that couldn’t protect themselves.
The exhaustion of power from erecting a hundred-meter-wide Natural Ward was utterly different from a two-meter Natural Ward. Otherwise, it didn’t matter how weak the two adolescent unicorns were; they wouldn’t have been so troubled by an ‘ordinary’ Second Grade spell.
The eyes of all the adepts gleamed at this sight.
The weak, ordinary elves seemed to be a soft spot of the enemy. Targeting their attacks at these elves would impose substantial pressure on the enemy forces.
The very next instant, almost all the witches started chanting large-scale spells at the same time. Moreover, they positioned the center of their attacks right upon the group of weak elven archers and ordinary bowmen.
The faces of the leaders among the elves instantly flushed white!
These damned adepts…
