Chapter 970 - 970 117 Flesh and Blood Grinder_2

970: Chapter 117, Flesh and Blood Grinder_2 970: Chapter 117, Flesh and Blood Grinder_2 No evidence was needed, for the Elf Race was inherently lacking in unattractiveness.

If one were to couple a strongman’s temperament with that snow-white Unicorn, their already remarkable appearance would ascend to another level.

“Derris!”

The Elf Young Woman spoke with a plaintive tone.

Hudson could faintly sense the murderous intent without direct confrontation, gauging that the opponent was weighing the odds.

In fact, Hudson wanted to strike first and gain the upper hand, but he felt the risks were somewhat high.

If pushed to desperation, and the enemy were to cast some Secret Technique intending to perish together with him, that would be tragic.

The two sides bore no hatred towards each other, standing on opposing fronts solely due to different stances; it wasn’t worth staking their lives in conflict.

“Derris, this isn’t your war.

Why bother bringing your Clan here to die?”

Hudson probed tentatively.

This was no idle talk; with the Peak Strong of both sides restraining each other, both Elite forces had begun clashing brutally.

“Whiz, whiz, whiz…”

The sounds of arrows cleaving through the air shattered the silence of the night; brilliant spells became the night’s beacons.

“Magicians, retreat quickly, do not enter the enemy’s Crossbow Arrow range!”

“Archers, counterattack!”

…

From the anxious commands, it was evident that in the brief scuffle, the Alien Coalition Army had suffered considerable losses.

The range of the Magic Crossbows was far beyond that of the Bow and Arrow.

Even the Magicians who thought they were in a safe zone unfortunately fell within the range of fire.

In a short time, dozens of Magicians were caught off guard and sent to meet the Elf Goddess.

Ordering Archers to counterattack was also a major blunder.

Even though the Elves’ archery talent far surpassed the Human Race, their current opponents were armed with Magic Crossbows.

Whether it was range, lethality, or firing speed, ordinary Elf Archers were no match.

In such circumstances, opting for an exchange of fire was undeniably humiliating.

Even with the support of expert marksmen, they couldn’t withstand the barrage of arrows.

In the contest of firepower, the Elf Army suffered losses, while the Ancient Remnant Allied Army was purely on the receiving end of a beating.

Watching his kin fall one by one, the Giant King ordered angrily:

“Charge through, engage the enemy in close combat!”

There was no choice but to act desperately; with their large frames, the Giant Tribe was at a significant disadvantage under remote fire.

The result of charging out was essentially offering themselves up to be beaten.

Close combat was out of the question.

As soon as the enemy troops approached, the reinforcements would simply retreat.

After all, their weapon of attack was the Magic Crossbow, which required little skill to use; one could simply aim and fire while retreating to the side.

They were all flesh and blood, and even with their thick hides, being shot by an arrow still hurt.

In the blink of an eye, the Giants’ screams echoed across the entire battlefield.

The harrowing sight caught even Hudson’s attention from the sky.

“Hmph!”

With a snort of discontent, the beautiful woman did not directly respond.

Instead, she communicated through spiritual power:

“Little White, if we strike together, is there a chance we could take down that annoying fellow across from us?”

Having suffered losses on the battlefield below, the best course to turn the tide quickly would be to directly capture the enemy’s Commander in Chief.

Shaking its head as if it had encountered something terrifying, the Unicorn immediately turned and fled with Derris.

The enraged Elf Young Woman turned red in the face, yanked at the silver horn, and reprimanded loudly:

“Little White, what are you doing, running off when I’m talking to you?”

“Silly woman, who’s running off?

I’m saving your life!”

“A Giant Dragon + an Earth Bear, who among them can you defeat?

Didn’t you see the enemy’s size?

They clearly have reached the hallmark of Sanctuary Second Order.

I think that Dragon alone could take us both down.

Derris, you don’t happen to fancy that pretty boy and are too shy to say it, so you’re deliberately sending yourself to him…”

Before the Unicorn could finish speaking, the Elf Young Woman slapped it down.

Other people’s Unicorns were pure and flawless, but hers was just like a hooligan, often infuriating her to no end.

“Stupid Little White, hurry back.

I still have to command the battle!”

While admonishing, she discarded the idea of capturing the king.

Hudson seemed average in strength, but his mount was genuinely mighty.

If a fight really occurred, taking a beating would not be worth it.

As for danger, Derris was not really worried.

Everyone was of Sanctuary level; even if she couldn’t win, it was unlikely she’d be defeated instantly.

At worst, she would retreat disgracefully into the army and wait for reinforcement to arrive.

“Derris, if you want to capture that pretty boy, it’s not impossible.

If you use your charm to seduce him, letting him lower his guard, there is a chance…”

Unable to endure any longer, the Elf Young Woman burst out: “Shut your mouth!

You filthy beast, if you continue talking nonsense, I’ll castrate you…”

Seeing Derris’s fury rising, a hint of triumph flashed in the eyes of the Unicorn; getting him to risk his life—no way.

The Unicorn species was already on the brink of extinction, with perhaps less than thirty remaining across the entire Continent.

As a genius beast of hope for the revival of the Species, he could not take risks lightly.

Amidst the playful scolding, the Elf Young Woman returned to the battlefield, leaving Hudson utterly bewildered.

Was it necessary to react so strongly to a mere probing question?

In the ongoing battle below, the Elf Army indeed suffered considerable losses, but the biggest damage was sustained by the Ancient Remnant Allied Army.

After initial setbacks, the Elf Magicians erected Magic Shields as fast as possible.

Although unable to completely block the rain of arrows, they significantly reduced the lethality of the Magic Crossbows.
