52: Chapter 52 Kru's Cunning Moves

The heavy mace had high attack power... but its weight also significantly dragged down Kulu's speed in swatting away arrows.

Kulu felt like he had been swinging the mace until it was smoking, yet how were a few arrows still hitting him...

This group of enemies' arrow attacks were very insidious, targeting his lower body specifically.

Fortunately, he was wearing this heavy armor he had snatched from a human noble.

The arrows struck the heavy armor, sending up sparks, and the sound made Kulu's teeth ache; he didn't even dare to look at the wear and tear on the heavy armor...

Looking at the Kobold captain beside him, who had been hit by several arrows in such a short time and was still standing only by sheer willpower...

Kulu looked at the heavy mace in his hand, then glanced again at the Kobold captain, who was bristling with arrows and on the verge of death, a flash of ruthlessness crossing his eyes...

He suddenly reached out and grabbed the poor Kobold captain. "Since you are dying anyway, make one last contribution to your commander... The Kobolds will not forget your sacrifice..."

Kulu placed the mace horizontally across the Kobold captain's back, then used this body, which hadn't yet gone cold, as a shield to block in front of him...

Almost at the same moment Kulu put down the mace, the Kobold captain in his grip... had his head struck by a flying arrow... Now he was truly dead...

Seeing this, Kulu hesitated no longer. He freed one hand, grabbed the corpse by the leg, and exerted force with his arm... spinning the body rapidly in front of him...

The Kobold captain's corpse in Kulu's hands... instantly transformed into a circular defensive shield, and the arrows shot at Kulu... were either swatted away... or absorbed entirely by the corpse...

Lin Ye, Thranduil, and Angel stood on a high ground on the plains, watching the lead Kobold's absurd maneuvers from afar...

"He really is a goddamn genius..."

The remaining three Kobold captains, seeing their commander's absurd maneuvers... whose defensive capability seemed even better than the equipment in their own hands... also began to follow suit.

They pulled the Tier-1 Kobold guards protecting them to the side... and rudely blocked them in front of themselves. These loyal Tier-1 Kobold guards... instantly became their meat shields...

Against the arrows shot at them from time to time, these Tier-1 Kobold shields didn't actually provide much defense... But seeing that Commander Kulu had done so, there must be a reason for it... We must always believe in Commander Kulu... Long live the Kobolds!

For a moment, a comical scene appeared on the battlefield... The other Tier-1 Kobolds also began lifting the bodies of their fallen companions... struggling to advance slowly against the elves' arrows.

The system-set programming made the Kobolds watch their companions fall one by one... Even in extreme fear, the thought of wanting to run away could not arise in their minds...

When Kulu finally entered 300 meters in front of the elves, the Kobolds' originally massive army had suffered heavy casualties, and now, the Kobolds stubbornly following behind Kulu... were reduced to only seven...

Lin Ye highly suspected that apart from this Kobold commander, the other remaining Kobolds were intentionally left behind by the Elven Archers, who wanted to give the other elves a chance to attack... It was just that they couldn't control their hands, so the remaining number of Kobolds was a bit low...

After all, after applying Amplification Magic, Lin Ye could also feel the restless eagerness of the Elven Swordsmen and spearmen beside him...

They were quite thoughtful, specifically leaving an extra Tier-2 Kobold captain for their compatriots, though it was also bristling with arrows... While none were in fatal spots, the sum of wounds on its body meant it was not far from death...

Tier-2 Elven Archers... under the blessing of Angel's Amplification Magic, had attack power far fiercer than Tier-1 elves. Otherwise, the Tier-3 Kobold, after putting on heavy armor, wouldn't have been scrambling in such a panic under their attacks...

However, although Kulu had endured this long barrage of arrows, his state at this moment was not great... He was on the verge of brandishing his mace and cursing at the elves. With arrows stretching as far as the eye could see, he didn't know where the other side got so many arrows... You don't play like this, even if you're buying in bulk.

"Little things... come out and fight me to the death!"

Kulu panted heavily... looking at the few remaining minions beside him. For some reason... his mood calmed down again... Although his heart was still filled with rage... at this moment, he had abandoned the grand idea of achieving great merit.

The great Kobold commander now only wanted to vent his rage, the rage of being treated like a target by this group of little things in front of him... He just wanted to use his mace to smash the skulls of these annoying little things in front of him one by one!

"Stop playing around... wipe out all these Kobolds! Even a tiger needs to use its full strength to hunt a rabbit. Send out three Tier-2 Elf Squads... and have them play with this Tier-3 Kobold leader. Elven Archers, pay attention to providing support from the rear; don't let the elves actually get hurt..."

Lin Ye looked at this Kobold leader and instructed Thranduil in a low voice. Although the Kobold before him looked somewhat disheveled... with a comical appearance, hanging with several arrows... the way the Kobold had suddenly calmed down still surprised Lin Ye... What excellent combat discipline...

Moreover, this Kobold leader clearly had the intention of seeking death. This type of enemy is the most terrifying, as they want to drag a few enemies down with them before they die... A single Elf Squad might be somewhat dangerous; sending a few more would be safer...

Hearing Lin Ye's order, Thranduil immediately straightened his back and shouted in a booming voice: "Elf Squads, Squad 1, Squad 2, Squad 3, step forward! Archers, pay attention to support!"

The squads that received the order immediately walked out from the rear formation with excitement. Each Elf Squad was composed of five Tier-2 elves: two Swordsmen, two spearmen, and one archer.

The squad lineup was quite luxurious. The five elves looked like agile leopards, exuding an air of elite refinement...

Because Elf Squads generally existed for assassination operations, Thranduil did not stuff heavy shield-bearers into the squads, and the Moonlight Elves race was not suited to be heavy shield-bearers... As for units like the Elven War Treants, Lin Ye had not yet managed to produce them.

The three squads assembled in high spirits before Thranduil, the spears and swords in their hands glinting with a cold, chilling light... yet their eyes burned with excitement... Finally, it was their turn to take the stage... Three squads ganging up on one Tier-3 Kobold, three on one... How fair... Hehe... I like ganging up on others the most...
