Chapter 26 Taking Over Command
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
The crossbow bolts were fired, but they were all blocked by the heavily armored demon soldiers in front of the Corruptor using tower shields.
A few stray crossbow bolts struck the Corruptors, sending up only a few insignificant sparks; they couldn't even penetrate their armor.
"Leon! Is your composite bow a fire poker?!" Lin Mo shouted angrily from the tree.
"Let's wipe out those disgusting things!"
"No!"
For the first time, Lyon's voice was filled with anxiety and helplessness.
"Damn it! Their tower shields...we can't penetrate them!"
Lin Mo stared intently, his heart skipping a beat.
Those tower shield demons actually used some kind of foul-smelling slime to coat the tower shields with the corpses of their comrades who had been shot earlier.
The armor-piercing arrows fired from the composite bow could easily penetrate the corpse, but after penetrating the corpse, they ran out of kinetic energy and were firmly stuck by the thick tower shield.
Has this demon equipped itself with a second set of defensive armor?
Enchanted Composite Bow, failed!
Just then, the Corruptors' second volley roared in.
This time, their target was no longer the ground defenses, but the elven archers in the treetops who posed the greatest threat to them!
A beam of dark green light precisely severed a thick tree branch next to Leon.
The branch, which could support the weight of several elves, broke and fell silently.
The two archers on the tree branch didn't even have time to scream before they disappeared into the demonic tide below, instantly torn to shreds.
The tide of battle has turned.
The firepower advantage that the elves established with their new weapons was laughably fragile in the face of these mobile turrets covered in "corpse armor".
"No, we must charge!"
As Fendona watched the defenses crumble bit by bit and her people die one by one, she gritted her teeth, gripped her Moonlight Staff, and decided to lead the charge herself.
"What are you rushing for?!"
A figure slid down from the tree like lightning, and Lin Mo grabbed her arm with such force that she stumbled.
"You're the commander-in-chief now, not a fucking berserker!"
"You've charged out, but what about the people behind you? Are they all going to die with you?!"
"Then what do you suggest we do!" Fendona's eyes were bloodshot with anxiety. She pointed at the Corruptor in the distance, which was constantly spewing beams of death, her voice trembling.
"If this continues, we will all die! Every second we delay, my people will..."
Lin Mo did not answer.
He stared intently at the repulsive corruptors, his mind racing.
He just noticed a detail.
After the Corruptor fires its beam, the tumor on its back will visibly shrink and take about ten seconds to swell up again to "recharge".
The shield-bearing demons protecting them will also lower their shields slightly and adjust their posture at that moment.
An extremely brief interval between attacks.
This is the BOSS's attack recovery animation!
"Got it!"
"What?" Fendona looked at him blankly.
"We've got a job!" Lin Mo grabbed Fendona's shoulders with both hands, speaking as fast as a burst of bullets.
"Obey my orders!"
"All crossbowmen, abandon the turrets! Push back all the charging fodder! Don't let a single one get through!"
"Then! Gather all your earth-elemental mages! Heed my command!"
"Earth magic?" Fendona was stunned.
"That has very limited destructive power against demons..."
"Don't ask!" Lin Mo's aura was stronger than ever before.
"The answer is Sun Tzu's Art of War!"
That domineering confidence of "listen to me and you won't go wrong" made Fendona nod subconsciously.
Try anything, no matter how desperate!
Lin Mo whirled around and roared with all his might at the mage position behind the defensive line:
"All earth-element mages! Heed my command!"
"Get your specialties ready! Anything from Earth Shattering Spells and Quicksand Traps to Spike Jungles—the more disgusting the better!"
"Target! Underneath those huge tumors!"
Fendona immediately repeated and amplified his command, and although the mages were full of confusion, they immediately began to chant.
The tips of the staffs glowed with a brownish-yellow light, representing the element of earth.
Lin Mo's eyes were fixed on the distance, like a cheetah about to pounce.
The tumors on the backs of the Corruptors are about to complete their third recharge!
"Now!"
Lin Mo suddenly waved his hand and roared at the top of his lungs.
"put!!"
"Tear down their foundations!"
The magic wand burst forth with light instantly.
In an instant, the demon army's position in the distance was thrown into chaos.
The ground beneath the feet of those corrosive beings collapsed instantly into deep pits, rose up suddenly to form mounds, and sprouted sharp spikes, shaking violently and making it impossible to stand!
"Awooo—!!!"
The tower shield soldiers, who were adjusting their posture, were instantly thrown into disarray, their once seamless shield formation now revealing countless deadly gaps!
Those Corruptors who had just finished charging and were preparing to launch were completely bewildered by this sudden "terrain kill".
The new wave of corrosive beams shot out erratically, with several hitting their own people directly in the face, causing screams of agony to fill the demon territory.
Lin Mo had been waiting for this moment of chaos!
He looked up and howled like a wolf toward the treetops.
"Leon!"
"What are you standing there for!"
"Shoot it, you bastard!!!"
Leon, who had been waiting with his bow drawn, roared in anger.
"Sharpshooters, prepare! Target: Corruptor!"
"Arrow enchanted with 'Explosive'!"
"shoot!!!"
"Whoosh—whoosh—whoosh!"
The dull, powerful vibrations of the bowstrings blended together, and more than five hundred arrows, covered with golden explosive runes, transformed into more than five hundred streams of deathly light that tore through the air!
The arrow pierced precisely through the huge gaps created by the tower shield demons as they lost their footing!
An arrow imbued with explosive runes struck precisely into the back of a tower shield soldier's knee, where he had no time to defend himself.
boom!
With a muffled thud, the three-meter-tall monster let out a mournful howl, and half of its thigh and knee turned into a bloody mess.
It lost its support, collapsed to its knees, and leaned forward uncontrollably, completely exposing the Corruptor that was "charging" behind it.
"Now!" A glint flashed in Leon's eyes, and the arrow he had been holding back was released from the bowstring.
The arrow tore through the air, hitting the Corruptor's back with perfect accuracy, causing the green tumor to swell wildly on its back.
*Whoosh—Boom!*
The tumor exploded.
The scene was like a giant watermelon filled with rotten entrails being instantly smashed.
Green slime sprayed in all directions, like acid rain, covering the faces of all the tower shield demons protecting it.
"Squeak—Ouch!!"
The demon soldiers screamed and writhed in agony as their weapons corroded them, and the seemingly indestructible shield began to crumble from within.
