Instead, it was further provoked into a ferocious rage by the pain.

Its intense hatred for humans prompted it to emit a chilling howl, directly issuing an order for a full-scale attack.

It seemed like it wanted to fight Lee Coup and his group to the death.

Looking at the hyena queen, who had been slashed dozens of times and was now bloodied all over, Liku felt the pressure on him increase rather than decrease.

Who knew what kind of hatred this hyena queen harbored that it was willing to fight to the death with him? At this moment, if someone who knew the backstory were standing there, they would likely mourn for Lee Cove for a second.

This Wolf Tribe general, after aligning with Luog, was now taking the blame for the Emperor's actions on his very first mission.

This enmity with the hyenas had originated when Lu G ordered the large-scale hunting of hyenas.

However, even if given another chance, Lu G would probably still issue the same command and do the same thing.

He had no regrets regarding the hunting of hyenas.

It was just unfortunate for Liku, who was completely unaware and had to bear the blame.

Faced with the hyena queen's desperate stance, Liku, who seemed to have the upper hand, felt as if he was tightly entangled and powerless to extricate himself.

Not only he, but even his werewolf warriors were facing the nearly frenzied attacks of the hyenas.

Under a wave of relentless assaults, there were already noticeable casualties.

At that moment, a fleeting moment of regret might have crossed Leu's mind.

But in the face of the hyena queen and the full-on pursuit of the hyenas with all traps exhausted, he seemed unable to think of a better solution.

So regardless of the outcome, it seemed like a multiplechoice question.

He quickly shook off all those chaotic thoughts in his mind.

The hyena queen was not easy to deal with.

And even with the equipment advantage, he had to respond cautiously.

After another round of exchanges, Leica could clearly sensed the hyena queen's intention.

It wanted to drag him into a protracted battle.

The hyenas had greater stamina than his we werewolves, and if they continued fighting for a long time, the opponent's advantage would only grow larger.

Moreover, perhaps realizing that it couldn't match Leu in a one-on-one fight.

The hyena queen unambiguously held again, summoning three more hyenas to surround Leiku.

The hyena queen strength was not much inferior to Liku's.

It was just that Liku had maintained the upper hand due to his equipment advantage.

Now facing not only the hyena queen but also three additional hyenas, the situation was clearly dire, one against four.

At this moment, Liku wanted to summon a few allies to assist him, at least to help tie down those three extra hyenas so he could focus on the hyena queen.

But the harsh reality made him acutely aware that he seemed unable to do that as there were simply more hyenas.

In other words, this group of hyenas could completely focus on taking down his werewolf warriors.

one by one in a short time.

Many werewolf warriors were at that moment facing one against two or even one against three situations.

Sometimes numerical superiority came so directly.

In such a situation, Leica clearly realized he had to do something to break this deadlock.

But what could he do? Among the orcs, he could not be considered a fool.

But at this moment, he felt his mind was somewhat inadequate until the sound of something slicing through the air reached his ears.

A series of crossbow bolts flew out, tearing a gap in the stalemate.

Chapter 402.

Roll reversal.

The two groups of forces below clash directly.

If they had brought archers this time, it would have been inconvenient to provide support as the risk of friendly fire would be too high.

However, crossbowmen were different.

The accuracy of hand crossbows was much easier to control.

And more importantly, the speed at which crossbow bolts flew out significantly reduced the chances of the target evading the attack.

After a round of ollies, they directly claimed the lives of a wave of hyena men.

But at the same time, they also exposed their position.

Zhoi's actions were fraught with great risk.

As at this moment he and the 50 crossbowmen under his command were only protected by 30 sword and shield soldiers.

Below them there were two to 300 hyena men.

Who would he be alarmed by such a scene? The hyena men had the advantage in numbers.

And Zhao he was worried about the situation on Liku's side.

If he led his men to send the population of that third barbarian tribe to meet the reinforcements, then came back to support Liku.

Given this situation, they would definitely not make it in time.

Thus, he had no choice but to split his forces and rush over with this small contingent.

At this point, their only reliance was likely the high ground that Jezichuan had temporarily found for them.

In other words, it was a terrain advantage originally for ranged troops.

The essence of high ground advantage should be that I can hit them, but they cannot hit me.

But to be honest, this high ground found temporarily based on Jzichuan's memory was clearly not up to standard and did not provide much sense of security.

Mainly because it was not high enough.

Zhao he felt that that group of hyena men could leap up in one bound if they charged at them if it weren't for seeing Liku in trouble.

Zhao would have had to think twice about whether to engage.

In any case, their exposure had become a foregone conclusion.

The hyena queen harbored deep hatred against them.

Seeing Zhao E and the others standing on the high ground, the hatred in her heart exploded at that moment, fueled by both new and old grievances.

Kill them all.

Kill those damned humans.

The frenzied howl, filled with hatred, burst forth.

The hyena queen, who had previously been fixated on killing Liku, now completely lost interest in continuing to fight him and instead led her hyena men to attack Zhao E and the others.

Leave them to me.

However, at this moment, the roles had already reversed.

Previously, Liku wanted to leave, but the hyena queen wouldn't allow it.

Now, it was the hyena queen who wanted to leave, and it was Liku who wound let her.

The battlefield situation changed rapidly.

This was no mere phrase.

The dual blades aimed directly at the back of the hyena queen's neck, forcing her to turn around to respond.

While keeping the hyena queen from escaping, Liku shouted loudly to his werewolf warriors, "Stop all these hyena men.

" With Liku's shout, the werewolf warriors surged forward again, and the two groups of orcs clashed once more.

However, the hyena men ultimately had the advantage in numbers, making it unlikely to stop them all.

A group of hyena men that were not intercepted charged forward quickly and fiercely, and in just a few breaths, they were almost upon E and the others.

Seeing the hyena men's movements, it was clear they intended to use their momentum to leap up.

Realizing this, Zhao Yi<unk>s heart tightened and he quickly commanded his soldiers to prepare for battle, form a shield wall, block them all on the high ground.

The 30 sword and shield soldiers coordinated well.

And since each was an experienced battlefield veteran, they cleverly chose to utilize the advantages of the terrain.

They quickly formed a shield wall with their bronze shields, successfully blocking the charging hyena men.

At the same time, taking advantage of the brief moment, they had to stop the first wave of the hyena men's charge.

The crossbowmen behind them quickly reloaded their hand crossbows.

Based on the penetrating power of the hand crossbows as long as they could hit a vital point, they could take down even the tough-kinned hyena men with a single shot.

However, these hyena men were clearly not foolish.

After being struck by the crossbowman's ambush, they quickly protected their vital areas.

Under the circumstances where the hyena men were intent on self-preservation, it became increasingly difficult for the crossbowmen to hit their targets.

The current situation made Zhao Yi's brow furrow tighter.

Although the previous wave of attacks had slightly reversed the situation, Liku and his group had ultimately lost the initiative.

This degree of reversal was not enough for them to regain control.

It can only be said to have leveled things out a bit.

And this battle was destined to be very difficult.

In a critical moment, even Jezuan, who was originally only responsible for leading the way, picked up a shield in one hand and a knife in the other to join the fight.

His impressive skills surprised Joe E.

However, given the current situation, could Jezichuan, no matter how capable he was, contend with a whole group of opponents, let alone that group were orcs? Thoughts raced through Zhao Yi<unk>s mind as he glanced at the werewolf warriors in the distance.

In a moment of inspiration, he shouted, "General Lee Coup, quickly gather your werewolf warriors over here.

Form a shield formation.
