Chapter 70: Crushed! Shocking battle losses!
"They dare take the initiative to attack!"
On the other side of the plain, the Lion man next to Leader Rick could not help but say in shock when he saw a long line of men rushing over.
The Centaur warrior just happened to stand opposite the sun's light. The bright armor was illuminated by the sun, and the 1,000 Centaur warriors turned into a dazzling light!
At this moment, this streak of light was charging forward in a grandiose manner!
However, a few kilometers wide plain would not take long for warriors to arrive!
Leader Rick roared, "Go! Kill them all!"
Even though the armor on the Centaur warrior made Leader Rick a little doubtful, Leader Rick made his decision in an instant.
Fight!
As a powerful Lion warrior, he did not know retreat!
He was very decisive!Hearing Leader Rick's words, a thousand brave and battle-hardened Lion warriors roared at the same time. Then, they stood up and took up their shields and weapons. With one hand holding their shields and the other hand holding their weapons, they charged towards the Centaur warriors.
When they stood upright, their speed was not much slower than when they were on all fours.
However, as Orcish, they retained some of the characteristics of wild beasts. When they were on all fours, it would save them a lot of effort.
Therefore, when these Lion Clansmen ran over a long distance, they would choose to have all their limbs on the ground. When they fought, they would all stand up!
They stood up, holding weapons. This was the biggest difference between them and the animal that they shared traits with, the lion!
Their combat strength would also rise by several levels!
On this plain, two lines were rapidly approaching!
Whether it was the Centaurs or the Lions, they were all speeding up!
This plain that was several kilometers wide was enough for them to increase their speed to the maximum!
Finally, the two lines approached!
"Swoosh!"
"Swoosh!"
On the plains, the sounds of spears sailing through the air echoed about.
At a distance of one or two hundred meters, no matter if it was the Centaurs or the Lions, they all chose to throw their spears!
The strength of the Centaur and Lion Race warriors was extremely great. Their spears were quite terrifying at high speeds!
Even though these spears were cut from wood, if the opponent used ordinary wooden shields to defend, they would be easily penetrated!
Then they killed the warrior behind the shield!
The Centaur warrior threw out another salvo of spears, and immediately threw another salvo!
That's right, they didn't even defend!
Their bodies were covered in armor, and their heads were wearing eye-protecting helmets, protecting their entire bodies!
As for the Lion warriors, they only had one chance to throw their spears.
The distance was too short.
After throwing a round of spears, they had to protect themselves and draw out their weapons to fight!
…..
The Lion warrior's spear landed on the Centaur warrior's armor, making a muffled sound.
On the plains, a large number of clanging sounds rang out.
However, these wooden spears could not penetrate the armor of the Centaur warriors!
The charging Centaur warriors didn't even slow down much!
The advantage of the Centaur warriors' equipment was the greatest!
…..
On the other side, the first spear of the Centaur warrior also arrived at a Lion warrior.
Both sides were good at throwing spears.
Lion warriors raised their shields to defend!
These Lion Race warriors also worthy of being experienced warriors.
Ordinary warriors would only hide the vital parts of their bodies behind their shields when they encountered dense spears. They would be forced to do so!
However, these Lion Race warriors took the initiative to brandish their shields and block the incoming spears!
Their shields were not made of iron
It was also a wooden shield, but the wood used was rather dense. There was a layer of leather in front of the shield.
This layer of leather looked like old leather that had been soaked in oil for quite a while. This kind of leather was extremely tough, and it wasn't easy to burn through with fire!
There were also mysterious runes on the leather, which had a good protective effect against magic!
The spear of the Centaur warriors was blocked by them with shields, making a particularly muffled sound.
That layer of leather was indeed very protective.
The spear could only pierce that layer of leather, but it could not break through the shield!
Only a few shields were pierced by the spears, but it was not a threat to the warriors behind them.
Even so, there were still more than a dozen Lion Race warriors who didn't block the spears. They were hit by the spears, became heavily injured, and completely lost their fighting strength!
But this was enough to prove the strength of the Lion Race warriors!
This was a head-on charge. The reaction time was too short. If the Centaur warriors threw long spears against the other Races, even if they had shields on the other side, they would be able to kill hundreds of other Races.
……
However, even if the Lion Race warriors were so powerful, they would not be able to make up with their inferior equipment.
Because the Centaur warriors did not need protection, the first round of the spear fell for less than a second when suddenly the second round of spears arrived.
Many of the Lion Race warriors who had just blocked the first round of the spears were struck by the second round of spears before they could react!
No, many of them had never imagined that there would be a second round of spears!
At that time, could it be that the Centaurs did not raise their shields and guard?
Due to their speed swift speed when the Lion warriors who were hit by the spears hit the ground they suffered greatly. Screams rang out one after another!
The second round of spears had destroyed a third of the Lion Tribe's warriors!
……
Before the two sides could fight each other directly, more than a third of the Lion warriors had been destroyed.
Then, the Centaur warriors charged forward with their spears that had iron spearheads!
A muffled sound rang out!
The spear of the Centaur Warrior crashed into the shield of the remaining Lion Warriors!
After a few kilometers of acceleration, the warriors rushed over with their full strength. The power they carried with their spears was simply too terrifying.
The shields of these Lion Race warriors were pierced by the sharp iron spear even though they were covered in thick leather.
Soon after, the spear hit the Lion warriors!
The Lion warriors' bodies continued to move forward!
The strength of Human heavy cavalry was largely due to their defensive and collision powers.
This type of collision was simply too terrifying.
Originally, the Lion Race warriors were also running, and they also had the power to charge.
However, their equipment was inferior, and coupled with the fact that they were facing each other on the plains; they were using their weaknesses to face the strong points of the Centaurs.
Therefore, the Lion Tribe was immediately knocked over.
Even though some of the agile Lion warriors had dodged the collision and fought back with their swords, they still found that they were unable to cut down the Centaurs!
The armor on the Centaur's body was so hard that it caused despair!
After all, this was a piece of armor that the dwarves had redesigned and forged in batches!
Rumble!
After the Centaur Warriors collided, they did not stop at all. They ran forward for several hundred meters before stopping.
On the battlefield where the two sides had clashed, there were only less than two hundred Lion warriors left standing!
These warriors that were still standing were also more or less injured!
In one exchange, only one-fifth of the Lion Tribe's Warriors remained!
On the other hand, only one Centaur had fallen!
The ratio of losses was simply too exaggerated!
That fallen Centaur was the one who was forcefully cut down by the powerful Leader Rick!
Leader Rick was indeed powerful.
His weapon was a pitch-black heavy blade. With this heavy blade, it had cut down a Centaur in a short period of time.
However, this man didn't die, he was only seriously injured!
The location of the leader's attack was just crack in the joint of the armor!
Although Leader Rick was brave, he was still stunned at the center of the battlefield.
After just a short round of battle, only a few of his warriors were still alive!
If there were more Centaur warriors, it would be understandable.
However, their numbers were the same!
Against similar numbers, they had never lost!
Even if they fought against the powerful Tiger Race, the Lion Race could still win.
But this time, the most exaggerated battle loss in the history of the Lion Race was born.
It was even born at his hands.
Over eight hundred powerful warriors had died.
However, only one enemy had fallen!
At this moment, Leader Rick did not understand what was happening.
What was wrong with this world? When did the Centaur Warriors become this powerful?
They were crushed!
This was a complete suppression!
The Lion Race warriors who had won hundreds of battles were crushed by the Centaurs on the battlefield!
No one would believe such a thing!
It had always been the Lion Race that crushed others, yet no one had crushed the Lion Race!
Even Leader Rick felt that this situation was so surreal!
However, on this plain, the corpses of the Lion warriors on the ground were scattered on the plain in a curve.
Some of the Lion Race warriors were still groaning in pain!
All of this told Leader Rick, this was true!
