Chapter 745: Chapter 161: Failed to Kill the Demon and was Slain Instead_3

Due to limited vision, the accuracy of the River Immortals’ attacks on vital points could hardly match up to the trained bow and arrow Archers. The power of their "Gamma Rays" also fell short of the Archers’ arrows. The "Gamma Rays" could burn through metal armor and sear the viscera, but the lethality and frequency of attacks varied depending on each person’s aptitude. Not only was their range limited, but also the number of times they could use it was restricted. Therefore, the River Immortals’ main method of attack was mainly mass shooting. With a population of two million, they had enough... according to the Dark Elves’ statistics, it took an average of ten "Gamma Ray" attacks to make one effective kill at a distance of one hundred yards, and this was under the condition that the opponent had a low magic resistance.

Despite every River Immortal Archer being a natural Magic Archer, the ordinary River Immortal Archer could only muster about thirty lethal "Gamma Rays" within an hour. Anything more was beyond their capacity. This made the title Magic Archer quite overstated. The River Immortal Archers who could seriously hurt their opponents with just two gamma rays at two hundred yards were incredibly rare. Among Drow’s army, these high-ranking Archers were known as "Yun Dun Bremen," which means "Gamma God Archer" in Elvish. Like the Beamon’s "Divine Archer Zheqin" and the Elves’ "Royal Blade Archer," such godly Archers are extremely rare, requiring both natural talent and nurture. Each qualified "Gamma God Archer" had laser beams that could sweep for a long time, unlike the arrows that can’t turn once fired.

Hence, unless hit by a "Gamma God Archer" or multiple "Gamma Rays" burning their brains and hearts repeatedly, the damage caused by the rays could merely turn the Magical Beasts crazier. This was indirectly creating a Berserk effect, making the Magical Beasts cause more extensive damage.

What was particularly annoying was that "Gamma Rays" couldn’t penetrate stone and wood. Yet, the Ymir Minotaurs, that posed the most significant threat to the Drow army, used stone shields. Their magical resistance was also remarkably superior, making it impossible for the River Immortal warriors to effectively target them. There seemed to be no stopping the Ymir Minotaurs whose every stomp could cause a stun effect as if they were "War Stomping." Their axe sweeps could blow away a large area, making a significant hit on morale.

The Bato Demons not only had impressive close combat abilities but were also skilled in using magic. The rings of fire generated by their Flame Greatswords seemed to carry various curses. As the fire rings burned through the Elven army, it was like dropping a stone into a pond, causing ripple-like effects that spread adverse effects far and wide. The Salino Giants, with their skin cracked like frosting, kept gathering rugged salt spears in their hands and threw them at the Drow army, who were disheveled by the Ymir Minotaurs and the Magical Beast army. At about one hundred and fifty steps, these salt spears could pierce through the shields and impale two armored Drows. Once they stuck in the ground, sometimes they would burst into pieces, forming a splashing effect. These salt spears were clearly carrying potent toxins, causing any Drow soldier whose skin was scraped by the fragments to turn blue and fall dead immediately.

"Frost on frost, and salt frost no less." Liu Zhenhan wasn’t able to suppress a chuckle while lying on the slope.

The Magical Beast army from the Salino Swamp had both remote suppressors and close combat warriors. The Flame Lord was indeed very cunning. He commanded the Salino Giants to aim their distant firepower at the shield soldiers, clearly seeing through the weakness of the River Immortals. The formation of the Drow army fell into chaos suddenly, putting them at a disadvantage.

The joint air force of Moore and Drow finally woke up after circling in the sky. Without air firepower support, only relying on Mages’ help would mean the end of the ground troops.

The punishment for those who flee in fear among the Dark Elves was particularly brutal. Thus, the air force had to steel themselves, praying while they dived down to fight and cover their comrades’ retreat. While the Troll Bat Knights wouldn’t risk their lives, the Drows used all their strength and courage to break through the firepower weaved by the Flame Lords and the Bato Demons, trying their best to suppress the rampaging Salino Swamp Magical Beasts on the ground.

Unfortunately, at this very moment, a group of flying Magical Beasts consisting of dozens of fiery serpents and a dense group of salt-winged flying lizards lunged out from the darkness of the swamp. An intense battle ensued in the sky against the air force of the Dark Elves.

On the ground, a symphony of magic and blades cutting through, and in the sky, bodies fell like dumplings dropping into a pot.

The amateur army of Magical Beasts from Salino Swamp didn’t have any offensive tiers, and the Drow army had their formation battered as well. On one side, the ferocious and bloodthirsty beasts steadily seized the upper hand. On the other side, relying on their numerical advantage, they retreated with all their might. Whether tactics were needed or not at this point didn’t matter. Except for the aerial troops who were still holding it together, the Drow army on the ground had lost everything.

Just when Liu Zhenhan was pondering whether to draw his sword to help, the Drow army finally got a break in the battle.
