The battle was about to break out.
Thirty Blade Spider warriors, under Su Ye's command, rapidly slid their eight long legs, turning into afterimages as they closed in on the Dwarf Legion.
Dwarves were Tier 5 units, but their attributes were not much different from the Blade Spiders, a special unit.
In the first clash, casualties appeared among the Dwarf warriors on the periphery.
Although thin, the eight long legs of the Blade Spiders were covered in sharp spikes, extremely sharp.
Upon approaching the Dwarves, they launched a furious barrage of stabs.
Their front four legs raised, the sharp horn-like appendages gleaming with a cold light, whizzed through the air, stabbing towards the Dwarf's bodies.
While the Dwarves were fully armored, clad in heavy armor, there were inevitably areas on their bodies not covered by the armor.
These were the places that the Blade Spiders used as important breakthrough points to break through their defenses.
Their sharp limbs, covered in barbs, pierced through the gaps in the heavy armor and into the Dwarf's bodies.
Venom was secreted from the barbs on the limbs.
It instantly surged into the Dwarf's blood vessels.
The Dwarves who had been screaming just moments ago were instantly wracked with pain, frothing at the mouth, their faces turning a purplish black.
This was a sign of poisoning.
Their bodies poisoned, they started to weaken, the Blade Spiders seized the opportunity and pounced on the Dwarves who had lost their fighting ability.
The first batch of Dwarves fell to the ground, instantly dying.
On the other side, Chi Lie and Han Bing were also not idle. They beat their wings, approaching the Dwarves from the front and the rear.
Chi Lie opened its mouth and unleashed a blast of dragon's breath, a long plume of fire spurting out from its mouth, engulfing the Dwarves.
The long beards that those guys had grown were instantly ignited, turning into ashes.
Their exposed bodies couldn't withstand the dragon's breath's high temperature, quickly scorching and carbonizing in a short time.
Even the areas covered by armor were not spared.
The dragon's breath was extremely hot. While the iron armor wouldn't melt instantly, it turned red under the scorching heat.
The part that was pressed against the Dwarf's body was like a burning hot iron.
It stuck to their skin, emitting a sizzling sound.
Under the intense pain, the Dwarves cried and wailed, dodging and weaving, trying to escape.
However, as soon as they left the range of Chi Lie's dragon's breath, what awaited them was Han Bing's Ice Crystal Blast.
It was a series of ice spikes, thirty centimeters long.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
They continuously streaked through the air, piercing the Dwarf's bodies, nailing them to the ground, a gruesome sight.
From the rear, Su Ye waved his hand, and fifteen Centaurs charged forward in unison.
They formed groups of three, charging towards the front.
Dwarves were Tier 5 units, slightly stronger than Centaurs.
Moreover, many Dwarves possessed firearms, a ranged weapon, with great power.
In a one-on-one fight, one Centaur might not be able to defeat a Dwarf.
So, Su Ye ordered the fifteen Centaurs to be divided into five groups, three Centaurs per group, charging at the same Dwarf from multiple directions.
The facts proved that this kind of cowardly tactic, bullying the weak with numbers, was quite effective.
In the first wave of charges, three Dwarves died in the Centaurs' iron hooves, screaming in pain.
The Centaurs attacked from multiple directions, even the Dwarves' firearms were useless.
They were thrown into disarray in an instant.
The Dwarf army, known for its strict discipline, was scattered just one minute into the battle.
Vulcan and Yoric retreated back to back.
Su Ye's combat power was clearly beyond their expectations.
"Damn humans, counterattack, counterattack! Kill those pesky spiders first!"
Vulcan's coarse voice echoed across the battlefield.
Hearing the order, the Dwarves turned their attack towards the Blade Spiders, raising their firearms or various cold weapons like giant hammers, and unleashing a barrage at the Blade Spiders.
After all, they were Tier 5 units, and also a sentient race.
After a brief moment of panic, they organized a relatively organized counterattack under Vulcan's command.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Splat...
In a concentrated barrage, a Blade Spider that had just released its venom was hit by dozens of firearms.
The hard shell on its abdomen was shattered, bursting open, spewing out a thick, green substance towards the surroundings, releasing a strong stench of foulness.
One Blade Spider was killed!
This gave the Dwarves a significant boost.
Soon, the second round of concentrated fire, the third round of concentrated fire followed in succession.
Several more Blade Spiders were killed.
Seeing this, Vulcan felt a glimmer of hope.
It seemed that these Blade Spiders weren't as formidable as he had imagined.
"Listen to my command, attack the Blade Spiders, target their eyes and abdomen, those are their weaknesses!"
"You are all brave Dwarf warriors, use the strength you use on women's bellies at night, kill these enemies!"
"Be careful of those two dragons, spread out, don't gather together..."
Vulcan shouted loudly, commanding the Dwarves to counterattack.
The battle on the field became even more chaotic.
Su Ye, watching the battle from the rear, drew his steel long sword.
"It's our turn to show up!"
With that, he activated his Fearless Domain.
After a buzzing sound, a circular domain with a radius of fifty meters formed around Su Ye.
The Blade Spiders, Centaurs, and Chi Lie within the domain.
A thin layer of crimson light appeared on the outer edges of their bodies.
This was the so-called Fearless state.
All stats increased by 30%, and they were immune to the intimidation effects of high-level units.
The Blade Spiders who had been struggling against the Dwarves were affected by the Fearless Domain.
With a 30% increase in strength, they immediately gained the upper hand.
The Dwarves who had been losing ground were dumbfounded. They probably wouldn't understand until their death why the opponent who had been evenly matched with them just seconds ago was now suppressing them steadily.
Their forelimbs, coated in poison, pierced mercilessly into the Dwarf's bodies, delivering venom.
Soon, the battle turned into a one-sided affair.
