Very Soft, Very Soft

After the war had continued for five hours, Su Xiao was covered in blood from head to toe. It was all enemy blood.

"Looks like it'll last until at least tonight. I'm starving."

At this moment, Su Xiao's gaze was sharp enough to make people fear him. After using Ring Break and the Energy Blade Net repeatedly, the number of enemies he had killed definitely ranked among the highest on the battlefield.

Su Xiao glanced at the War Channel. There were 428 Contractors in the Kurotsuchi Plains area, and now 396 were still alive. Not everyone was suited to the battlefield, and if their luck was bad, they could even encounter powerful enemies there.

As he killed more and more enemies, Su Xiao became more familiar with the battlefield and gradually learned how to conserve his stamina.

At this moment, he was standing on a corpse pile. Beside him was the corpse of a human officer. This corpse pile had been carved out by that human officer, who had eventually died from exhaustion.

Looking around the battlefield, Su Xiao found that the Empire's side had already gained a huge advantage. The reason was the overwhelming rain of arrows.

The Empire's strategy was simple: clear the field with arrow rain, giving the human or Elf soldiers a chance to form battle formations. Once the arrow rain stopped, the battle formations would charge. After the formations were wiped out, the arrow rain would resume clearing the field, repeating the cycle.

The tribal side was no pushover, either. The Empire had arrow rain, while they had old-fashioned large shells made by goblins and green-phosphorus incendiary bottles. As for cavalry, the main force consisted of the dwarves' mountain cavalry—the dwarves who rode Wild Boars.

Even human heavy cavalry couldn't withstand the mountain cavalry's charge.
