Chapter 607: A Battle of the Century

War elephants undeniably possessed a far greater attack range than Tigermen.

The thick, powerful trunk whipped out violently.

It unleashed force capable of snapping a tree trunk in half, striking straight toward Hu Jie.

Faced with such a devastating blow.

Hu Jie’s pupils shrank sharply, and explosive bursts of speed surged through his massive frame.

In a complete shift from his earlier head-on, brute-force fighting style.

He refused to clash directly with the war elephant.

His steps shifted rapidly as he evaded the trunk mid-swing.

At the same time, a low growl rumbled from his throat, and his fist slammed hard into the war elephant’s body.

The tremendous impact made the war elephant cry out in pain and briefly lose its balance.

The Arab soldiers riding in the wooden platform on its back screamed in panic.

They were nearly flung straight off.

Those four pillar-like legs staggered backward three or four steps before the beast finally stabilized itself.

However, before the elephant troops could even catch their breath.

Hu Jie’s relentless pursuit was already upon them!

Fists and kicks followed in rapid succession, pressing the war elephant back step by step.

Thrown completely off rhythm by the continuous assault, the war elephant thrashed its trunk wildly, trying to fight back.

But with its movements in complete disarray, how could it possibly land a hit on Hu Jie now?

Relying solely on fists and feet, Hu Jie grew more fluid with every strike, entering a state where everything simply felt right.

“Luo Yong was right! Fighting with my bare hands suits me far better than wielding weapons. This feels natural!”

That thought only boosted his confidence, and in the blink of an eye, his attacks grew even more ferocious.

Seeing this, the Arab player’s face changed drastically.

He screamed in panic, signaling the other elephant troops to charge in and kill Hu Jie.

But at the same time, the other Tigermen weren’t just standing around watching.

They immediately clashed with the surrounding war elephants.

There was no doubt that this “battle of the century” stole the spotlight.

The sheer scale of it was overwhelming.

Roaring tiger howls mixed with deafening elephant trumpets, nearly drowning out all other sounds on the battlefield.

Watching from afar, Huo Qiguang couldn’t help but gape.

Having giant combat units really was something else.

Even war elephants could be taken head-on.

For players of ordinary human civilizations like him, encountering war elephants usually meant relying on ballistae.

Even trebuchets were often dismissed as being too inaccurate.

The envy on his face was impossible to hide.

Still, human civilizations had their own advantages.

For example, large war machines like ballistae were something beastmen simply couldn’t produce.

The ten triple-bow ballistae in Luo Ji’s possession were clearly seized from other players.

Poorly maintained over time, they had already malfunctioned more than ten times since the last siege battle alone.

Thinking about that, Huo Qiguang suddenly felt much more balanced inside.

As his thoughts raced.

A shrill, agonized cry cut through his musings.

Looking up, he saw Hu Jie landing a crushing punch directly on a war elephant’s head.

The blow was undeniably brutal. Huo Qiguang clearly saw blood foaming from the elephant’s mouth.

Its massive body could no longer stand steadily.

Seizing the opportunity.

Hu Jie charged forward in a full-force shoulder slam!

A thunderous boom echoed across the battlefield.

The terrifying impact flipped the unsteady war elephant completely onto its back.

Hu Jie pressed the advantage, his sharp tiger claws slashing out in a savage arc!

They ripped open the elephant’s abdomen, tearing out its internal organs in a fatal strike.

Scalding blood splashed across his face.

The scene was brutally savage.

Yet it greatly boosted the morale of their own forces.

The beastmen, their ferocity fully ignited, roared wildly as they launched even more vicious attacks.

On the Arab army’s side.

Although only a single war elephant had fallen.

The elephant formation was their trump card!

Having their ultimate weapon thwarted caused a visible drop in morale.

A change in just one part of the battlefield was now directly influencing the entire war.

As one side rose and the other fell, the Arab army began to show clear signs of collapse.

Sensing the shift, the Arab player hurriedly activated a skill to bolster morale.

But this momentum was not something a single skill could stop.

Across the battlefield, Arab soldiers were being slaughtered by the beastman army.

Uncontrolled panic spread rapidly, gripping every soldier’s heart.

And then… they fled.

Those damned deserters made the Arab player’s heart seize painfully.

He screamed hysterically.

“Don’t retreat! Don’t retreat!! Anyone who flees the battlefield will have their entire family hanged from the city gates!!!”

The threat of death had some effect.

With nowhere to advance and nowhere to retreat, the Arab soldiers charged the enemy in despair and fury.

A battle that had seemed close to victory now showed signs of entering a brutal stalemate.

Watching the soldiers on both sides slaughter each other.

Luo Ji’s expression darkened.

That bastard was clearly planning to trade lives with him.

If this dragged on, even if they won, his beastman army would suffer heavy losses.

But at this stage, with the enemy on the verge of collapse.

How could the side holding the advantage possibly retreat now?

Even if Luo Ji wanted to pull back, Huo Qiguang certainly wouldn’t.

Having finally seized a chance at victory, Huo Qiguang was roaring “Charge!” at the top of his lungs.

As Luo Ji’s thoughts spun rapidly.

Another thunderous boom echoed across the battlefield.

The violent shockwave battered his eardrums, making him wince.

He slightly opened his mouth to ease the pressure.

Then his gaze snapped toward the source of the noise.

It was Xiang Yan, who had been entangled with three war elephants.

After intense close-quarters combat, Xiang Yan fully erupted, forcibly lifting one of the elephants and swinging it around, smashing the other two away!

As for the one in his grasp.

It was inevitably slammed brutally into the ground.

Seeing this, Luo Ji’s face lit up, and he shouted at the top of his lungs.

“Xiang Yan! Smash their formation!”

As he spoke, Luo Ji pointed straight at the distant elephant formation.

“AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!”

Understanding instantly, Xiang Yan didn’t waste a word.

With a thunderous roar, his ten-meter-tall giant frame charged forward.

That impact was like a meteor crashing into the sea.

A colossal wave erupted on the battlefield!

The Arab player standing at the center of the elephant formation turned deathly pale at the sight.
