Path of Light.

Chapter 851 852. Thunderous Means
A dozen captains quickly dispersed, and the half-elf guards quickly formed a silver shield wall in the jungle.

Captain Jeroin rushed over with a large group of priests and immediately bestowed a blessing halo on the group of shield-bearing elf guards.

As prayers continued to sound, beams of sacred light shot up to the sky and towers of light rose in the jungle.

The gray dwarf bandits came running from a distance with square hammers in their hands. When they saw the half-elf guards forming a silver shield wall in the woods ahead, they immediately slowed down and stopped far away.

Until a gray dwarf warrior wrapped in black armor came up and scolded the group of gray dwarf bandits.

The group of gray dwarf bandits howled, raised the square hammers in their hands, and ran towards the elven guards.

Tens of thousands of gray dwarves formed a dark mass in the dense forest, and their heavy footsteps made the entire forest tremble constantly...

Commander Mazio rushed in the front, followed by a large number of gray dwarf bandits.

If you look down from the air, you can see that the gray dwarves have formed an arrow formation, and Machio is on the tip of the arrow...

As the gray dwarf bandits approached quickly, a large number of elven archers appeared on the branches of the big tree above the heads of the elven guards, and then a rain of arrows fell down.

Commander Machio quickly raised the dwarven chain shield and shouted, "Raise your shield."

The gray dwarves running in front all raised their dwarven chain shields, and Commander Machio shouted in the crowd, and a shock wave spread outward from him. The gray dwarves around him looked red...

The rain of arrows came in an instant, and most of them were blocked by the chain mail on the gray dwarf bandits. Some arrows penetrated the gaps in the shields, pierced through the weakest part of the chain mail, and pierced the gray dwarf bandits.

But these gray dwarf bandits did not fall down. They roared loudly and rushed forward...

One hundred meters away from the half-elf guards, the second round of arrow rain came towards them again, and this time the number of injured gray dwarf bandits increased significantly.

Many of the gray dwarf bandits had arrows stuck in their bodies...

At this time, Commander Machio shouted: "All dwarves, get ready!"

The gray dwarf bandits running in the forest immediately pulled out a throwing axe from their backs.

"Throw!"

Macchio shouted as loudly as he could.

A flood of flying axes whirled towards the half-elf guards. These axes scraped against the branches, and a large number of leaves and branches fell from the treetops.

Then the flying axe fell into the half-blood elf's camp. The huge inertia caused the flying axe to hit the iris shield, making a loud "bang bang bang" sound. Although the flying axe failed to split the iris shield, it also made the arms of the group of elven guards holding the shield sore.

Some of the flying axes passed over the half-blood elf guards in the front row and landed in the elf guard camp...

The heavy flying axe hit the half-elf's helmet, instantly knocking the half-elf guards to the ground.

A shower of flying axes fell, and hundreds of half-elf guards were injured.

The priests retreated to the back of the camp in advance and avoided this round of flying axes.

They saw a large number of half-elf guards injured and falling to the ground, and immediately squeezed into the half-elf army and carried the injured half-elf guards back to the rear of the camp.

Vitas discovered that this group of gray dwarf bandits was much more powerful than the ones he had encountered before. Not only were they physically strong, they also had strong execution abilities. They caused heavy losses to the half-elf guards before they even came into contact with them.

Before Vitas could think too much, a gray dwarf shield warrior rushed up.

He jumped high, and suddenly a shadow of a dwarf warrior appeared behind him and made the same movement as him. Finally, he took a step over 20 meters and smashed the square hammer in his hand hard on the head of a half-elf guard.

Vitas rushed out of the army formation and headed for the gray dwarf shield warrior in black armor...

Vitas stood in front of the half-elf guard, holding an iris shield in both hands.

At the same time, a holy light fell on Vitas, and the shield in his hand was visibly coated with a layer of silver, and a strong sacred aura spread from the shield...

A heavy square hammer hit Vitas directly, and the sacred aura on the surface of the shield exploded immediately, forming a layer of sacred shield on the surface of the iris shield, but it was shattered by the square hammer, and then the square hammer hit the iris shield.

Vitas felt as if a white rock rhino had crashed into him.

There was a 'boom'.

Vitas' body flew backwards, and he first hit two half-elf guards holding shields, and then the three of them rolled into a ball.

The shield wall formed by the half-elf guards was instantly breached by the gray dwarf bandits.

The half-blood elf guards behind were also knocked over...

As the gray dwarf bandit fell to the ground, the gray dwarf bandits behind him rushed up like a tide.

The gray dwarf bandits and the half-elf guards collided with each other in an instant, like a huge wave hitting the sea rocks, instantly stirring up countless waves...

The half-elf guards raised their iris shields at the same time and actually blocked the gray dwarf bandits steadily.

The spearmen standing behind the shield-holding half-elf guards were now pale-faced and were leaning their shoulders against their companions' backs. The half-elf guards behind the spearmen were pushing their shoulders with both hands...

The charge of the gray dwarves was stopped, and the half-elf spearmen behind them immediately pulled out the spears that were inserted diagonally into the mud, and stabbed at the gray dwarf bandits through the gaps in their shields. The blades of these spears were engraved with armor-piercing magic patterns.

When the spear hit the gray dwarf bandit, it was like stabbing cardboard, and it directly pierced the gray dwarf bandit's body.

Although the gray dwarf bandits were stopped by the iris shields, the square hammers in their hands also smashed down one after another. Some of the square hammers hit the iris shields, making dull "bang bang bang" sounds.

Some half-elf guards were hit by hammers from the gray dwarf bandits, and half-elf guards holding shields immediately filled the gaps behind them.

The elven archers in the trees exerted their greatest power at this time, because a large number of gray dwarf bandits were right under their feet. As long as they pulled the longbow to its full extent, they could shoot the gray dwarf bandits even with their eyes closed.

The front row of gray dwarf bandits were acting crazy.

Even though they were full of arrows and had been stabbed with several bloody holes by the half-elf swords and spears of the half-elf guards, they could still desperately rush forward and use their bodies to open a bloody path for their companions behind them.

These gray dwarf bandits were not even afraid of pain, and they could still charge forward desperately even though they were covered in blood...

Elf swords pierced out along the edge of the iris shield, penetrated through the gaps in the armor, and pierced into the dwarf's body.

The half-blood elf guards also refused to retreat...

Commander Mazio stood in the center of the battlefield, holding a square hammer. He looked around anxiously. The injured half-elf guards were quickly carried off the battlefield by their companions. Holy beams of light continued to light up at the back of the battlefield.

On the other hand, it was a different scene on the side of the gray dwarf warriors. Even those who were seriously injured would fight to the death and rush forward.

But even so, the half-blood elves on the battlefield were still eager to fight. Commander Machio raised his shield to block the spear coming from the front, and swung his square hammer to knock down two half-blood elf guards.

He strode forward, trying to break through the half-elf's defensive formation.

Arrows kept hitting his helmet, making tinkling sounds next to his ears.

He wanted to smash the head of the half-elf guard under his feet. Just as he raised his hammer, he heard a roar from the half-elf guard camp. The roar made the surrounding gray dwarf bandits pause.

Then, a huge earth bear wearing armor rushed out from the half-blood elf camp...

When the Earth Bear ran, its smooth fur kept shaking, and its body shape was like that of an adult hippopotamus. When it ran at full speed, the entire forest was shaking constantly.

When the Earth Bear was forty meters away from Commander Machio, its body turned into a beam of white light and rushed in front of Commander Machio in the blink of an eye, opening its huge mouth and biting towards Commander Machio's head.

Commander Machio quickly used the shield in his hand to smash the Earth Bear's mouth.

He didn't notice that the Earth Bear had six blessing halos under its feet.

The Earth Bear's bite this time was obviously a feint. When Commander Macchio swung out his shield, the Earth Bear raised its head high to avoid the shield attack, and raised its front paws high to grab Commander Macchio.

Commander Machio never expected that the Earth Bear would feint and attack again. He was pinned to the ground by the bear's claws without paying attention...

But as he fell, he rolled to the left with all his strength, avoiding a claw attack from the Earth Bear, and the square hammer in his hand also hit the Earth Bear's right front leg.

The Earth Bear roared and pounced on Commander Machio again.

Commander Machio took this opportunity to roll on the ground and stood up steadily.

When he rushed towards the Earth Bear again, Vitas rushed up again, holding the square hammer in Commander Machio's hand with the elven sword in his hand...

Commander Machio is a second-level warrior, but Vitas is only a first-level elf warrior at the peak of his powers.

In terms of strength, Vitas is far inferior to Commander Macchio.

The two of them fought for only a dozen or so times before Vitas was forced to retreat again and again by Commander Mazio. The half-elf guards who wanted to come forward to help were all knocked back by Commander Mazio's hammer.

With his own strength, he opened up a battlefield in the half-elf camp.

As the Earth Bear reappeared behind Macchio, it and Vitas tried to join forces to deal with Commander Macchio, and the situation here stabilized.

Every time Commander Macchio suppressed Vitas, a sacred shield would appear on Vitas' body to block Commander Macchio's fierce attack...

After several attempts, Commander Machio discovered that there was a group of priests hiding behind the group of half-elves around them.

When the half-elf guards are injured, they will quickly retreat, and then a holy light will appear in the team...

The holy light that made the dwarves extremely desperate.

Each ray of holy light represented an injured half-elf guard that was recovering rapidly, as if he would never be able to kill this half-elf warrior who was far inferior to himself.

As a low horn sounded in the distance, the griffins in the sky also cried out at the same time.

At this time, the half-elf guards, who were originally a little tired, burst into high spirits again, and the priests standing behind them also frequently released holy beams of light...

The Earth Bear rushed behind Commander Macchio and raised its claws to scratch his back.

Commander Machio did not dodge or evade. He turned quickly with the square hammer in his hand and crashed directly into the arms of the Earth Bear...

There was a hint of teasing in the Earth Bear's spiritual eyes. Just when Commander Macchio realized that something was wrong, an ice spear flew in through a gap in the woods. It seemed as if the ice spear had eyes and flew directly towards Commander Macchio.

Just as Commander Machio crashed into the Earth Bear's fat belly, the ice spear exploded on Commander Machio's back.

In an instant, a huge block of ice froze Macchio and the Earth Bear inside, but the ice that bound the Earth Bear kept cracking and turned into broken ice on the ground.

The ice that froze Commander Macchio was motionless. Commander Macchio gathered all his strength and tried to break out of the ice...

A great magician riding on a magic broom flew into the dense forest and landed steadily beside Commander Mazio. He looked at Commander Mazio and put one hand on the ice. Then a magic pattern array quickly appeared on the ice. With the sound of a magic spell, a larger ice coffin sealed the ice in the center.

Commander Macchio suddenly discovered that the ice that had frozen him had become like a block of iron, and no matter how he struggled, there was no sign of it loosening.

A griffin rushed through the dense branches and landed on the battlefield, and then a young Imperial jumped off the griffin's back.

He just glanced over here, and then made a gesture of wiping his neck to the Elf Great Magician. The Elf Great Magician spread his hands helplessly, then turned to Commander Machio who was frozen in the ice and said:
"I thought Roy would want you alive. It seems he doesn't like you very much. In view of the war crimes you committed, Roy, the leader of the mine guards, convicted you and sentenced you to death. Now I will execute you..."

As he spoke, Great Magician Grams took out a magic scroll from his arms and spread it flat on the ice coffin that was beginning to loosen.

Commander Mazio, whose face was ashen from suffocating in the ice coffin, heard the sound of ice cracking, and a glimmer of hope appeared in his eyes.

The surrounding gray dwarf bandits discovered that their commander was frozen in ice, and they desperately rushed to the center of the battlefield.

However, as spider web-like light blue magic runes appeared on the ice coffin, these runes became more and more, and the entire ice coffin was covered with these runes. Magic auras filled with the aura of destruction began to emanate from these runes...

"burst!"

As the great magician Grams uttered a word, the ice coffin that had frozen Commander Machio suddenly exploded, and the entire ice coffin shattered into pieces.

The black iron armor on Commander Machio also shattered into countless iron pieces along with the ice coffin.

This powerful second-level gray dwarf was lying naked on the broken ice, with countless small wounds all over his body, but he did not shatter along with the ice coffin.

"He is indeed a powerful gray dwarf. Even the five-layer ice blast can't kill him. Roy, I think we should lock him up..."

Grand Magician Grames stood next to Commander Machio and spoke loudly to Roy who was walking towards him quickly.

The surroundings were filled with a lot of shouting and roaring...

Roy swung his flail and knocked away a gray dwarf bandit who was rushing towards him. He walked up to Vitas and pulled out the elven sword from his waist. Without any exaggerated movements, he stepped on Commander Machio's back and chopped off his head that was covered with countless ice chips.

Roy then looked at the gray dwarf bandits who were rushing towards him with blood all over their bodies and shouted loudly:
"Put down your weapons, those who surrender will not be killed!"

The half-elf guard following behind Roy also shouted loudly:

"Put down your weapons, those who surrender will not be killed!"

The entire jungle was filled with the shouts of half-blood elves...
