Chapter 167: Chapter 167: Ambush in the Valley_1
Translator: 549690339
Inside the canyon battlefield, an aura of killing permeated the air, accompanied by unceasing cries of slaughter.
Concentrating his gaze downhill, Leo Ray noticed.
These two Half-Orc armies, one bearing a brown battle flag and wearing brown patterned battle armor, while the other waving a gray battle flag, clad in gray patterned battle armor, fought with great joy.
It should be Imown that Half-Orcs are known for their strong bodies and vigorous strength. Soldiers clad in armor fighting each other was like heavy battle tanks colliding, an exceedingly intense scene.
Roar… Thump!
Many bloodthirsty Half-Orc soldiers even threw away their weapons, directly tackling their opponents to the ground, brutally tearing off their helmets, and roaring as they began to engage in fistfights. Amidst the blood and gore, it was like a fierce struggle of trapped beasts in an arena.
Moreover, Leo Ray immediately noticed that the Half-Orcs under the brown battle flag had the same armor style as the troop that had invaded the Moonwhite Tribe’s barrier before.
Gazing down at the battlefield filled with smoke, Leo Ray, who had become accustomed to this bloody atmosphere, hesitated for a moment.
He then instructed his twin sister, who was waiting beside him: “Serena, go a little further and see if there are any reinforcements coming for these two Half-Orc armies.”
“Yes, sir!” Upon hearing this, Serena immediately put on her invisibility cloak and instantly disappeared from everyone’s sight.
“Lord, should we contact the Werewolf Tribe, which is preparing for a surprise attack on the Half-Orcs, in advance?”
On the other side, Taylor stepped forward and asked with a fist salute. “Yeah, Lord, the enemy of our enemy is our friend!”
Following that, Scarlett, wearing a witch’s hat, came closer, blinking her big eyes, with an epiphany-like expression.
“Now is not the time.”
Waving his hand slightly, Leo Ray squinted his eyes and kept a close watch on the battlefield below.
He then turned his head and replied, “At the moment, we cannot determine if this Werewolf Tribe is an enemy of both Half-Orc armies on the battlefield.
Going to establish contact now would be somewhat premature.”
Upon hearing this, the subordinates showed an enlightened expression.
“My Lord, the Werewolf Tribe is about to start their operation!”
At that moment, Stella’s wind chime-like voice once again reached Leo Ray’s ears.
Hearing this, Leo Ray immediately made a quiet gesture, signaling his subordinates to refocus their attention on the battlefield below.
Awooo!
In an instant, a resounding wolf’s howl rang out.
The next second, densely packed white figures suddenly appeared at the top of the high ground where the Werewolf Tribe had been hiding.
As the howling grew more piercing, these white figures, like sharp arrows, began to massively descend from above into the canyon.
Upon closer inspection, the charge was led by white wolves with snowy fur.
These charging white wolves either carried weapons or bared their fangs, their faces extremely ferocious.
The impressive momentum even reached Leo Ray, standing above the valley, making him feel a strong murderous aura.
In just a short while, the closely packed wolf pack arranged into a cone formation roared into the battlefield, launching indiscriminate attacks on the Half-Orc armies.
For a time, a large number of unprepared Half-Orc soldiers were immediately knocked to the ground.
Many were even pierced through their neck armor by sharp fangs, biting directly into their necks, and letting out waves of miserable screams.Meanwhile, other white giant wolves that caught up from behind began to transform back into their leather-armored human forms in the process of leaping, engaging in close combat with the enemy.
Some continued to attack in their wolf forms, using their sharp claws and fangs.
In short, under the sudden attack of the Werewolf Tribe, the situation on the battlefield completely turned around.
In an instant, the Half-Orc soldiers, who had already been in chaos, were immediately shattered by the impact, unable to resist at all.
Seeing this, Leo Ray couldn’t help but show a somewhat surprised expression.
It had to be said that the Werewolf Tribe’s combat strength was indeed remarkable.
Especially their charging speed, which was probably only matched by well-trained cavalry units.
“Now it’s basically confirmed that this Werewolf Tribe unit is indeed at odds with both Half-Orc armies, or more accurately, the Werewolf Tribe and the
Half-Orcs as a whole are enemies to each other.”
Upon realizing this, Leo Ray steadied his mind and continued to observe.
A moment later, as if he had noticed something, a puzzled expression appeared on his face and he couldn’t help but mutter, “But when these werewolves were in their wolf form, they only had pure white fur. How come they have leather armor on their bodies after transforming into human form? This doesn’t make any sense.”
“Hehe, Lord, you don’t know.”
On the other side, hearing Leo Ray’s murmur, Scarlett came up with small, quick steps and said, “When I was studying at the Magic Tower, I read an ancient book in the Grand Attic Library.
It said that beast-folk who can transform into animals can turn their leather equipment into a part of their fur when in their original form and still maintain the original defense effect, which is quite magical.”
“So that’s how it is.’
Hearing this, Leo Ray slightly pursed his lips, feeling that some of his expectations had fallen through, and refocused his attention on the battlefield within the valley.
At this point, the situation on the battlefield had once again unexpectedly changed.
Upon careful observation, the earlier unstoppable Werewolf Tribe was gradually losing its advantage after a series of battles.
On the other hand, the Half-Orc Army, which had been at a disadvantage, had regained the upper hand on the battlefield.
The reason was simple: the two initially hostile Half-Orc factions had shifted their targets to the Werewolf Tribe.
It seemed that they wanted to eliminate the troublesome Werewolf Tribe first and then continue their battle.
“Lord, didn’t the Werewolf Tribe’s surprise attack earlier seem a bit hasty?”
Upon seeing this, Taylor’s face showed a trace of doubt and he asked, “The Werewolf Tribe only has 200 people, and when they launched the ambush earlier, the two Half-Orc factions combined still had over 400 people left and were more than twice as strong as the Werewolf Tribe.”
After a brief pause, Taylor pondered and asked again, “Even if the Werewolf Tribe is waiting for the enemy to exhaust themselves, wouldn’t their chances be greater if they waited until the enemies’ numbers were reduced even further? In that case, how could this unfavorable situation happen?”
“Indeed.”
Nodding slightly, Leo Ray dusted off his clothes and replied, “However, the situation on the battlefield changes rapidly. The Werewolf Tribe commander should have been worried that if one of the two factions of the Half-Orc army were reinforced,
their entire ambush plan would undoubtedly fall apart, so he took the risk of attacking early.”
At this point, Leo Ray slightly raised his eyebrows and said, “Of course, judging by the outcome, the Werewolf Tribe commander clearly overestimated his own strength.”
Hearing this, Taylor immediately showed a suddenly enlightened look and asked again, “So, Lord, what should we do now? The Werewolf Tribe won’t last long under the siege of the Half-Orcs.”
“As Scarlett just said, the enemy of our enemy is our friend.”
Leo Ray smiled and replied, “Now it’s time for us to step in and help our newfound friend..”
