Chapter 600 Defeating the Enemy Army
Stars leap.
The streak of light leaped directly from the edge of the mine on the outskirts of the camp into the depths of the camp, landing precisely behind the command tent on the side—a blind spot for the watchtower archers and the weakest link in the guard's defenses.
The moment he landed, Lin Tian didn't rush into the tent.
The commander sat in the center, with two guard captains standing on either side of him, their backs to the tent walls.
The tent's defensive runes displayed pale red energy patterns.
The level wasn't high, around level 70—the Orcs clearly hadn't expected anyone to be able to bypass all the outer watchtowers and patrols and get directly to the outside of the command tent.
Rules and regulations.
Lin Tian locked onto the largest outline in the middle.
The success rate of the Law Imprisonment judgment is close to 100% when the level difference is less than ten levels. The level 83 commander's actions were frozen in place, and a layer of light golden imprisonment patterns appeared on the surface of his body.
Then he lifted the tent flap and stepped inside.
The two guard captains turned their heads simultaneously the moment the tent was opened.
Their reaction speed was indeed very fast—as expected of an elite level 81 character, they had already drawn their weapons and adjusted their positions in less than half a second after Lin Tian completed his jump. One of them raised a shield in front of the commander, while the other swung his sword at Lin Tian's throat.
too slow.
Shinra Tensei.
The repulsive wave exploded inside the tent, blowing the entire tent away.
The shield warrior was thrown back and smashed through the support of another tent behind him. The longsword warrior's blade was stopped by the repulsive force less than 30 centimeters from Lin Tian's neck, and he couldn't cut down no matter what he did.
Then comes the stellar rays.
The first shot. A golden beam of light burst from the fingertip, piercing through the shield warrior's breastplate. The level 81 elite guard captain's health bar went from full to zero in a single attack. The corpse began to turn into white light before it even hit the ground.
The second shot. The longsword warrior had barely regained his footing when the beam pierced him from the front. His health bar was emptied, and white light flickered amidst the fragments of the tent.
Two corpses respawned, leaving behind several pieces of blue-green quality equipment and a pile of gold coins.
The duration of the Law Imprisonment is three seconds away.
The third stellar ray.
Then the fourth shot.
Zero distance, front view, right in the center of the forehead.
The commander's health bar was reduced to zero one second before the restraints were lifted.
The level 83 Iron-Skull Warlord didn't even have time to draw his sword before he turned into white light and vanished into the night wind.
After the corpse respawned, it left behind a piece of purple-quality armor and two blue weapons on the ground.
Lin Tian swept all the tokens and dropped items into his backpack, and then took out a spatial mark from the backpack—it was a signal mark given to him by Colin, which would explode into a golden signal light at the designated location after being crushed.
The signal exploded in the very center of the camp.
The night sky for miles around was illuminated by this golden light.
"Assault team—charge!!!"
Colin's roar came from the north, and the clanking of armor from 150 Giant Gorge City garrison soldiers echoed in the night.
Hooves pounded the frozen earth, blades reflected the firelight, and the assault team's charging formation, like a sharp knife, plunged straight into the orc camp that had lost its commander.
Lin Tian stood on the ruins of the command tent, watching the orc infantry surging in from all directions of the camp.
Without a commander to direct them, their reactions were noticeably slower – some rushed east, some ran west, and some stood still, waiting for the system to automatically assign new targets.
He took a deep breath and activated the Starstorm.
......
The light curtain of the star storm spread outward from Lin Tian as the center.
The golden energy circle covered an area of nearly fifty meters around the command post, enveloping all the orc elites in the chaos.
The orc soldier's health bar was dropping at a visible rate.
A level 75 ordinary infantryman can't last more than three seconds, and a level 78 elite guard can only last two seconds longer.
White lights flashed intermittently in the center of the camp, like someone setting off a silent fireworks display.
Two orc centurions who survived the white light attempted to organize a counterattack, roaring battle cries in their orc language and charging towards Lin Tian with their battle axes raised.
Lin Tian took a step to the left, avoiding the trajectory of the first axe strike. His right hand was already charged with the Star Ray – and it pierced through, carrying the two centurions together in a chain.
"Lin Tian! A group of defeated soldiers on the left flank are running towards you!" Colin's voice came.
Lin Tian looked up and saw about twenty red dots rapidly approaching from the left. They were all low-level, around level 70 ordinary infantry.
Celia emerged from the shadows, and shadow thorns spread across the ground, entangled the ankles of several orc infantrymen behind her.
Xiao Bai's ice dragon breath descended from above, and an ice-blue energy pillar exploded in the crowd, freezing four or five orcs who were entangled by thorns into ice sculptures at the same time.
Colin led the main force of the assault team and rushed in from the north side of the camp.
One hundred and fifty warriors from the Great Gorge City garrison split and weaved through the orc camp, which had lost its commander, cutting the scattered orc infantry into small encirclements.
The Orcs' morale and organization were collapsing at a visible rate—no commanders were issuing retreat orders, no centurions were organizing defensive formations, and each squad was fighting on its own, only to be wiped out one by one by the assault teams.
"A group of orc officers are gathering in the southeast direction, about thirty in number, with levels 76 to 79."
"I'll handle it."
Stars leap.
The light streamed down on the southeast side of the camp.
More than thirty orc officers formed a small circle, with an orc in black armor standing in the middle. Judging from the style of the armor, he was a quartermaster, level 78. He was not a combat NPC, but his health bar was thicker than that of an ordinary infantryman.
When Lin Tian landed, the officers were arguing—the sounds of their debate in the beastman language rose and fell. Some advocated breaking out, some advocated holding out and waiting for reinforcements, and others said they wanted to find the commander.
They were clearly unaware that their commander had been killed.
"Stop arguing," Lin Tian said.
More than thirty orcs turned their heads at the same time.
The golden light curtain unfolded once more.
White light exploded continuously in the crowd, and the health bars of more than thirty orc officers dropped simultaneously within the energy field.
Several high-level individuals attempted to break out, but were repelled by Shinra Tensei.
Xiaobai followed up with an Ice Dragon Breath in mid-air, slowing them down to a snail's pace.
Five seconds later, more than thirty white lights lit up almost simultaneously.
Lin Tian picked up the marching map and glanced at it.
The map was marked with detailed marching routes and troop deployments in Orcish.
In addition to the two thousand troops already assembled in the north, there is a reserve force of at least three thousand men who can arrive within three days.
The barbarian camp on the east side is marked as "ally" on the map—but with a question mark next to it.
