This elite ranger team that accompanied Patience from the central mountain range to the mainland, and across the ocean to Comilla, indeed has a very strong combat effectiveness. In the chaos caused by the appearance of the elders of the earth elements, these elves are the only ones who can maintain their combat effectiveness, even in the face of the earth elementals that are obviously highly resistant to long-range piercing damage from bows and arrows. With superb archery skills, it can cause considerable attrition to the enemy.
The Ranger Troop showed great power, and it still had a certain impact on the charge of those earth elements.
The earth element clusters that had been hit by uninterrupted arrows suffered secondary losses, and the most important thing was their downward charge, which was restrained and slowed down to a certain extent under the rain of arrows.
But it's just slowing down.
Dane could see that the three of them, Radis, Delina, and Jayer, were all trying to organize their troops, trying to organize the front before those earth elements rushed over. But for now, this goal seems a bit daunting.
It is definitely unreliable to strictly guard against death in place. So Dane shouted: "Radis! Don't hesitate! Take your people now and rush with me!"
After saying that, Dane pulled out the ghost knife behind him, and instead of retreating, he launched an attack on the earth elementals rushing forward. Behind him was the female half-orc Maca. A horror mercenary, all of these mercenaries are holding heavy weapons like war hammers and heavy axes.
Facing a guy with a hard defense like the earth elemental, the damage ability of swords and arrows will be weakened to a very low level. The only thing that can really deal enough damage to them is the heavy hammer!
Of course, even though Dane is holding a long knife in his hand, with the blessing of his powerful strength attribute, the damage that the long knife can cause must not be worse than any heavy weapon.
Dane rushed forward with a dozen people, and after running for a while, he collided with those earth elements, and immediately a group of people turned their backs.
His strength was so strong that he rushed forward and smashed the three fastest earth elementals. Maca behind him also had considerable strength. With the hammer swung, he also smashed the opponent in front of her in a short while. However, the number of earth elements in front of them is simply too much.
A dozen or so people need to face the impact of hundreds of earth elements, which makes them have to face a great threat. In the first encounter, the Horror mercenaries lost two fighters, and the others were also in danger under the siege. If it wasn't for Patience, who was still commanding the battle in the rear, quickly mobilizing the firepower of the rangers and giving targeted support to the battlefield where Dane and the others were, the disadvantage they faced now would be even greater.
But the heroic fighting of the dozen or so mercenaries led by Dane played a role. When there were flesh and blood blocking the front, the earth elementals failed to complete their elimination in the first time, which gave enough time for Redis and others to regroup the army.
It may take some time for the troops of more than 400 people to recover their fighting power, but the support for Dane came very quickly.
Redis didn't leave Dane and his mercenaries alone in the front line. Shouting the battle horn, this soldier who has reached the tenth level of his personal occupation level, led fifty or sixty heavy infantrymen under him, and rushed forward before the other soldiers recovered their combat effectiveness. .
With the support of these heavy infantry, the situation facing Dane and his mercenaries finally eased a lot. These elite heavy soldiers from White Wolf Fort, dressed in armor made of thick linen and iron sheets, holding wooden-covered iron-covered round shields and war hammers, rushed towards them like a torrent of steel.
With the persistence of almost sixty people in front, the impact of the earth element cluster was finally blocked in front of the human army's position!
Gravel and blood are everywhere. This kind of cruel front-line hand-to-hand combat is often only won by the brave.
Those elemental creatures don't feel any fear, especially those small earth elementals, who don't even have wisdom, so naturally they don't fear casualties. But this does not mean that these earth elementals who are not afraid of death have an advantage over human soldiers. On the contrary, the soldiers who are fighting are all elites who have survived a hundred battles!
In the face of adversity, the warriors who were aroused with bloody courage showed even stronger and more tenacious combat power than normal. If you dye the Yellowstone, you must also smash the enemies in front of you!
Among the crowd, the one who beat the most fiercely was undoubtedly Dane. Under his knife, no earth element is his single enemy, even if the earth element is composed of rocks made of elemental energy, under the slash of the ghost knife, it is no different from smooth butter. What a difference. Not long after the battle started, there were already six or seven earth elementals chopped up by him, including a medium-sized earth elemental.
However, the problem was because his performance in the battle was too outstanding, and two powerful enemies were eyeing him—they were two large earth elementals.
Large earth elementals are not so easy to deal with.
A small earth elemental might have the same individual strength as a hoplite under Morno, and might be slightly stronger thanks to the protective ability brought by the rock shell. Medium-sized earth elementals are already quite powerful, with at least four levels of challenge. Maca, a female orc, is very difficult to kill a medium-sized earth elemental one-on-one. If you are evenly matched, you have to be careful. , for fear of letting others turn the tables.
Based on such a standard, the strength of a large earth elemental would almost reach level eight or even higher.
Dane had just cleaned up an opponent in front of him when he caught a glimpse of two large earth elementals from the corner of his eye, and rushed towards him together. The two human warriors standing in the middle tried to stop them, but they were torn apart by the two large earth elementals on the spot—it was really torn apart, and the whole body was gone.
Facing the two menacing large earth elementals, Dane just put on a grin on his lips, showing no intention of retreating at all, instead he rushed towards them!
There was an idea in his heart, to cut off these two large earth elements!
