The fur all over the Blood Wolf suddenly stood up, facing the darkness with a low growl, as if confronting some terrible enemy.

The leading Extraordinary Orc Captain hurriedly grabbed the Blood Wolf's rope, looking into the depths of the dense forest where the Blood Wolf was growling.

"What's going on?"

All the Blood Wolves within the stronghold woke up accordingly, emitting low growls one after another, as the orc patrol teams within the stronghold became vigilant and alert.

Hiss, hiss, hiss...

A low, hoarse hissing sound suddenly came from the darkness, accompanied by the rustling sound of something rubbing against the ground, something was approaching!

But in the Wet Bone Forest, the mist in the air already blocked visibility, and coupled with the meager light from the campfire at night, it was impossible to see what was happening in the darkness outside.

Horror approached along with the sound, and a beastman transcendent snatched a torch from his subordinate and threw it into the dark depths where the sound came from with a swoosh.

As the flames illuminated the dark forest, it pierced through the thick mist to reveal the environment deep within.

Instantly, the pupils of all the patrolling orcs on site shrunk unknowingly.

Snakes!

Giant Snakes!

Snakes, twenty to thirty meters long, either gliding on the ground or clinging to trees, hung in midair, protruding their black tongues, constantly slithering towards the temporary stronghold, as many as twenty!

"Enemy attack!"

Accompanied by a shrill shout, a whistle made from bamboo emitted a sharp whistle, causing the entire stronghold tribe to stir at that moment.

Upon hearing the whistle, the Dragon Nest Beastmen sleeping in the tents in the stronghold instinctively jumped up, hurriedly donned the weapons and armor placed aside with clattering sounds as they rushed out in teams.

As the Dragon Nest Beastmen resting in the stronghold gathered, the giant snakes also neared the premises!

"Raise shields! Position spears!"

The night patrol was already prepared as they hoisted one-person high Bronze Giant Shields, forming rows, standing them upright at the front, while long spears protruded from the gaps at the edges of the Copper Shields, with sharp tips angled forward like a curled-up hedgehog protecting the camp stronghold behind.

Crash, crash...

One by one, giant snakes swept forward, abruptly collapsing the simple wooden fence around the perimeter with a thunderous crash, instantly breaking through the outer defenses.

Even though the outer wooden fences were merely simple constructions due to cautious tactics, they were still easily breached, showing the formidable nature of these giant snakes.

Hiss!

Along with the foul-smelling wind assaulting their noses, the black giant snake at the forefront flicked its tongue, emitting a harsh hiss, its originally agile body suddenly twisted, followed by the sound of the wind being sliced as a huge whiplash came crashing down from the sky.

Bang, bang, bang!

The tail of the giant snake crashed onto the Bronze Shields erected by the Dragon Nest Beastmen, with a resounding thud, a tremendous force akin to a tide crashing down, black snake scales scraping against Copper Spear, producing a sound of metal clashing.

Thump, thump, thump!

An entire row of beastmen was involuntarily pushed back a few steps by this strong force, but thankfully they stabilized immediately afterward, gripping their Copper Shields and Copper Spears more firmly.

"Hiss!!!"

The black giant snake screeched fiercely as its tail got slashed by the sharp Copper Spears, leaving cuts with blood seeping and dripping onto the ground.

Perhaps noticing the dire state of the attacking black giant snake, the other giant snakes also hesitated, slithering around the perimeter of the Copper Shields and Copper Spears, with scales scraping the ground and making rustling noises.

However, the Dragon Nest Beastmen would not allow them much preparation time, as the resting beastman soldiers within the stronghold had fully gathered, with rows of Copper Shields upright and sharp Copper Spears bristling, making the entire stronghold resemble a noble hedgehog instantly.

"Archers, fire arrows!"

With a command, the bowstring sounds whooshed, and sharp arrows shot out swiftly, covering the giant snake group with powerful force like rain.

Already during the conquest of the Centaur Tribe, Austin had the idea to establish the three major troops: Gun Shield Soldiers, Archers, and Cavalry.

Though at that time, despite obtaining the bow and arrow manufacturing technology from the Centaurs, arrow shafts were made from specific plants, requiring a lot of effort to make, making widespread use difficult, so the archers' project wasn't immediately launched.

But subsequently, with the Dragon Nest Tribe refining copper technology's improvement, they could make qualifying Copper Swords and Copper Spears, achieving technical reserves for large-scale production of suitable Bronze Arrowheads, allowing Copper Arrowheads to equip arrows with power not inferior to arrowwood-made arrows, hence Austin commenced the Archers Legion construction.

Yet, due to the new establishment of the archer troops, only a hundred people in the entire Dragon Nest Division were selected for trial at present, and now the arrow firing marked their debut.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

Arrow rain continued descending with powerful force, but hitting the giant snakes only made clinking sounds akin to striking iron armor, the sharp arrows merely scratched their scales, causing a couple of small wounds.

But this sufficed, as the arrows broke through the wounds, small but numerous, quickly covering the bodies of the snakes in the center of the arrow rain, with scales pierced by arrows, bodies filled with arrow shafts, and crimson blood streaming down.

"Hiss!!!"

A huge roar came from within the darkness, filled with powerful pressure.

Upon hearing the hiss, the snake group seemed to receive a command, snake eyes turning red, crazily swarming towards the Dragon Nest Beastmen Legion.

Rustle, rustle...

More than twenty giant snakes thirty meters long crazily charged forward, with a momentum seemingly overwhelming like a tide, full of terrifying intimidation.

"Soldiers defend, all junior officers, use Copper Shield Heavy Strike on their heads! Drive them back!"

From behind, the Legion Commander Rodney suddenly issued the order.

With the order falling, several elite Dragon Vein Attendants emerged from the ranks, holding Copper Shields in one hand and Copper Swords in the other.

Instant Step!

Almost simultaneously, with a dull sound, cracks opened on the ground, several figures vanished swiftly from the spot, flashing to the front of the giant snake group's assault in mid-air, forming a line in the air.

Iron Block·Heavy Strike!

The massive Bronze Shields positioned in front, then the figures simultaneously smashed down with the Bronze Shields, which acted like walls, forcefully striking the heads of the few giant snakes charging ahead.
