Chapter 14

Suddenly, the Thunderbird became smart and killed the Dwarf Bear Rider. After the first one, naturally, there was a second. When the second Bear Rider died in the same manner, one of the Dwarf Elders began to shout loudly. Then, suddenly, the Dwarves, who had only surrounded the Thunderbirds to wear them down, suddenly exerted their full strength. Whether they were Bear Riders or Axe Warriors, as long as they could move, they all launched a fierce attack.

Instantly, each Thunderbird, including the Thunderhawk, was attacked by at least three Dwarves.

Faced with such a sudden and fierce attack, the more seriously injured Thunderbird was the first to give in. One of the Thunderbirds, already wounded in several places and with one wing hanging, was attacked by three Bear Riders and an Axe Warrior. When two Bear Riders struggled to hold down its other wing and talon, another Bear Rider used his giant bear's paws to hug the Thunderbird's head, while the Dwarf Knight swung his war hammer and struck it on the head. The Axe Warrior, of course, did not stand idly by, and took the opportunity to leap up, his massive axe emitting a chilling killing intent. With a flash of cold light, it cut into a large wound on the Thunderbird's neck. This time, the axe finally cut through the obstruction, severing the Thunderbird's neck in two.

"Screech!" A tragic cry suddenly rose and then abruptly stopped. Instantly, two Thunderbirds were decapitated, and the other Thunderbirds and Thunderhawk were even more severely injured. The Dwarves, however, only severely injured a few Bear Riders and Axe Warriors. As for whether they were dead or not, Liu Siyi, standing at a distance, could not see clearly. He had not expected the battle to change so quickly. What had seemed to be an evenly matched fight a moment ago had almost instantly decided the outcome.

"Boom!" Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck a Bear Rider, immediately knocking him to the ground.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" This time, the lightning bolts kept striking, and over a dozen Bear Riders were knocked down by the lightning, though they were not killed, they could not fight again.

Now it seemed that the Dwarf Hero was dead. This could be discerned from the lightning bolts striking the Bear Riders and the Thunderlight Bombs bombing the Dwarf Javelin Throwers. If the Dwarf Hero were still alive, the heavily armored Bear Riders would not have been knocked down by a single lightning bolt, leaving them unable to fight.

This time, the two sides returned to what Liu Siyi considered a balance: fewer than ten Bear Riders, four Axe Warriors, and two Dwarf Rune Elders versus one Thunderhawk and six Thunderbirds.

Both sides were already exhausted and severely injured, but the Thunderhawk was clearly more ferocious, and in an instant, it pounced on the demoralized Dwarves.

"Roar..." The Dwarf Rune Elder roared again, and the demoralized Dwarves instantly regained their morale, their eyes determined. They faced the counterattack of the Thunderbirds without fear, countering with even greater bravery.

Is this a morale-boosting spell? Seeing the previously demoralized Dwarves suddenly become spirited, Liu Siyi, who had previously thought the spell was useless, gained a new understanding. It seems there are no useless spells, only how they are used.

This collision was even more brutal. Both sides, heavily injured, focused all their energy on killing their opponents. They did not dodge attacks, but either countered fiercely or used their bodies to block. The sounds of impact were clear even to Liu Siyi, standing at a distance.

A Bear Rider's giant bear, ignoring the sharp beak of the Thunderbird piercing its chest, used both hands to grab the Thunderbird's head, while the Dwarf Knight raised his rune war hammer like a fully drawn bow, using all his strength to strike the Thunderbird's head...

The entire scene was heart-stirring, making Liu Siyi feel his blood boil.

In the end, the Thunderhawk, covered in blood, with dim purple electricity and standing on one leg, and another Thunderbird, more fortunate with only its legs uninjured, stood before the two Dwarf Rune Elders.

From the start of the battle, the two Dwarf Rune Elders had been continuously casting healing spells and various other support spells to help the Dwarf team. By now, their magic power was almost completely drained, and they could no longer cast any spells.

Mages in close combat with the same level of combat units, even if the units were already severely injured and on the verge of collapse, were still doomed.

Just as Liu Siyi was thinking this and believed victory was assured, the two Dwarf Rune Elders simultaneously shouted and, holding their rune staves, charged forward.

"Bang! Bang!" Two dull sounds, and the Thunderhawk and Thunderbird were both knocked to the ground. Perhaps even they did not expect this to happen.

How could this be? Are there such violent mage units? At this moment, Liu Siyi received a piece of information from his inheritance: Dwarves are a naturally combative race. Even Dwarf mages can put down their staves and pick up large axes, displaying close combat skills on par with the same level of melee units.

Skill, after all, is not strength. The power the Rune Elders displayed was at most on par with ordinary fourth-tier units, and even inferior to some powerful third-tier units. However, against the severely injured Thunderhawk, it was enough.

Damn! This is going to be a crazy fight. Liu Siyi, of course, could not just watch the Dwarf Rune Elders launch a fierce attack.

"Boom!" A bolt of lightning struck, and this time, Liu Siyi seized the opportunity, targeting the Dwarf Elder fighting the Thunderhawk.

As the Dwarf Rune Elder raised his staff to strike, the lightning bolt instantly hit his head. Although the Rune Elder's 70% magic resistance was very strong, the lightning bolt did not cause much damage, but the paralysis effect still affected him for a moment.

In a battle between experts, a moment can decide victory or defeat.

The Rune Elder almost instantly recovered, but the Thunderhawk's movement was faster. Its sharp beak instantly shattered the Elder's skull.

The Thunderhawk, being a large creature, even just the tip of its beak was no less sharp than a regular spike. In a high-speed impact, the Dwarf Rune Elder's head burst like a watermelon, red and white splattering everywhere.

To reiterate, this is a real game world, not a game where you can keep fighting and maintain your strongest combat power as long as you have hit points.

With the entire brain gone and such severe injuries, even the most resilient life force could not survive. Even with the head gone, the Rune Elder's body continued to move forward before finally collapsing with a "thud."

This is like a game we all played as children, placing a coin under something, or stacking two chess pieces, and quickly pulling out the bottom one, causing the top one to fall directly without being dragged.

It's very violent, but it also shows how fast the Thunderhawk's ultimate attack speed is.

"Bang!" On the other side, the Thunderbird's head was struck again, and this time, it fell to the ground, motionless, never to rise again.

"Screech!" The eagle's cry was filled with sorrow, anger, and hatred! Liu Siyi did not know how he could feel the Thunderhawk's emotions at this moment. But regardless, with his help, the Thunderhawk could easily defeat the Dwarf Rune Elder.

The same process, the same experience. As the Dwarf Rune Elder launched his attack, a bolt of lightning struck, followed by the Thunderhawk's beak strike, and the Dwarf Rune Elder fell to the ground.

Next, the Thunderhawk, limping, walked to each fallen Thunderbird, touching them with its beak, but received no response. At this point, the Thunderhawk, with eyes full of killing intent, walked to the Dwarves who were still alive and killed them one by one.

With this, the entire battlefield finally calmed down.
