Chapter 622 - Insanity
Chapter 622 Insanity
The 3 gyrfalcons up above had clearly grasped the positions of the human, and Head Commander Edi had underestimated the orcs.
Looking at the distance from those wolf riders, as soon as one team began to move towards the center team for support, those wolf riders would be able to strike the other one.
Head Commander Edi was thrown into a dilemma, but it was at that moment Abel’s voice emerged from his military card.
“Head Commander Edi, our team is stronger in defense, go help head Commander Gloger to clear their wolf riders first and then help us!” Abel knew head commander Edi was in a tough position, so he suggested.
At first, Head Commander Edi was leaning towards helping Abel’s team since Head Commander Gloger had 3 head Commanders in his team while Abel’s team only had 2.
He didn’t know Abel too well. In fact, it was the first time he had connected with Abel, so he quickly called head commander Bodley.
“Bodley, can your team survive against 1000 wolf riders?” head commander Edi asked gently.
“Don’t worry, Edi. We won’t have a single problem!” Said Head Commander Bodley with confidence.
Head Commander Edi didn’t know where Head Commander Bodley had gotten his confidence, but he knew an experienced head commander like head commander Bodley would not play with his life.
“Everyone, turn left and support Gloger!” As Head Commander Edi yelled, his team branched out from their defensive position and began to head towards the left.
Head Commander Edi thought the Wolf Riders would change target as soon as they saw them moving since they no longer had their defense on.
However, those wolf riders were acting very strange. They kept their speed at a constant rate and continued to move forward. It seemed like they were trying to give Head Commander Edi a chance to unite with the other team.
“Careful, maybe we are the orcs’ target!” Abel lowered his voice.
“Bring it on; I can’t wait!” K3308 yelled with a rune card in his hand. It seemed like his nervousness had never existed.
“Then why don’t you go first k3308!” Said k3305 in a provoking tone. He had enough.
“I’m not stupid; I will stand behind k3516 and guard him from the back!” Said k3308 in a serious tone.
K3305 and k3003 were stunned by k3308’s thick skin. They had totally underestimated him.
At that moment, the wolf riders were slowly getting near, and the team heading towards Abel had begun to accelerate.
Combat qi began to flash. In that team of wolf riders, 20 wolf rider captains had already put on their combat qi armor. 2 head wolf rider captain also had their combat qi armor on, and they were shining especially bright.
“This is an elite wolf rider team. They at least have to be the level of a team directly sent out by the royals!” Head Commander Bodley lowered his voice after seeing so many wolf riders.
This was the first time Abel had seen a team of 1000 wolf riders in a mission. Not only that, but this team of wolf riders had 10 head wolf captains and 10 beginner orc priests. It was a temporarily thrown together team for the sole purpose of getting things done.
Normally a team of 1000 wolf riders would only have 2 wolf rider captains.
Head wolf rider captains were normally only reserved for a team of 10,000 or higher. Therefore, this team of 1000 wolf riders was the pinnacle of elites.
Only the royal wolves could afford such a powerful force, but those royals would rarely get their troops involved in the orc battlefield.
The reason why those wolf rider captains had ignited their combat qi armor before their charge was because they knew there was a godly archer in this team of humans after Abel badly shot down a gyrfalcon.
The front line head wolf rider captain in metal armor let out a long howl and threw a bottle of red potion to the sky. In a flash, the eyes of every single worgen and their mount wolfs in the team had turned blood red.
“An insanity potion?” Abel asked head commander Bodley.
“Yeah, but maybe the chance of dying from using the potion might be lower since these are wolf riders! Still, what are they thinking?” Head Commander Bodley replied. He was very shocked by this move by the wolf riders. Why were they gambling with their lives?
Although insanity potions could make the user painless and more powerful, there was a side effect, and that was a chance of dying. Normal insanity potions had a 50% death rate.
Although the ones used by wolf riders might be a little better, dying was not a joke.
All the wolf riders had grown insane. Their mount wolf had almost doubled its speed. There was only one thing in their mind, and that was to kill those humans.
In the face of 1000 wolf riders, this team of 2 head commanders and 4 beginner wizards was like a speck of dust. Also, since those wolf riders had used an insanity potion, k3303 began to feel scared.
However, as he turned towards the others, he realized the nervous k3308 had somehow turned extremely excited. He didn’t seem scared at all.
The furthest range of Abel’s Riphook was 300 meters. Abel already had his focus ready as soon as the first wolf rider entered the range.
All of a sudden, the whole world turned slow. Abel could clearly see the red glow in those wolf riders’ eyes and the ferocious look on their faces. Things like the insanity potion did not have too much effect on the head wolf rider captain, but it still ignited their thirst for battle.
Abel gently lifted his fingers from his Riphook and an arrow of lightning flew out. The reason why the Riphook flew so fast was the lightning.
It was almost like the lightning was carrying the arrow, and it was already in front of the head wolf rider captain in a flash. But it was such an obvious arrow, how could they not notice it?
The Head Wolf rider captain struck out his long spear to block. This arrow had basically flown in a straight line without any obstacles, If a head wolf rider captain could not even counteract a strike like this, no way they could live this long.
However, an arrow shot out from the Riphook was not that simple. As soon the head wolf rider captain’s spear made contact with the arrow, a strike of lightning flew directly into it.
Lighting was the fastest of all elements, and this strike was no exception. The moment the head wolf captain saw the flash, he felt his body getting numb. Afterward, his mount wolf also got numb.
His eyes were still filled with the thirst for battle, but he had fallen already when he was 300 meters out.
He dropped on the ground, blocking his team of 1000 wolf riders. However, he did not have to wait for his death. Before his body even hit the ground, Abel had already unleashed another arrow between his eyes. Since he was in a numb state, his combat qi armor had been defused.
The arrow directly penetrated his skull and took his life. After being enchanted by lightning, this strike had basically burned his brain black in a flash.
A 10 meters tall grey beam of light shot up 300 meters out. It looked quite beautiful.
‘Combat qi smoke’. As someone with the rank of a head commander, the most powerful occupation for close body attacks in the Holy Continent, and a combat qi expert, their combat qi core would explode before they died and turn into this grand scenery. Although the beam of light did not directly penetrate the sky like the ‘soul beam’ of an elite wizard after they die, it still signified a powerful figure was lost in this world.
Normally a combat qi smoke would definitely disrupt the flow of a team of wolf riders, but those 1000 wolf riders were all drunk on insanity potion. The death of a head wolf rider captain did not seem to affect them in the slightest.
