Squad Leader

Dozens of glowing white orbs floated in the air, illuminating the previously pitch-black sewer as if it were day!

Within the sewer at this moment, a City Guard team of nearly three hundred was engaged in a fierce battle with a large number of Monsters!

Clang… Bang…

"Haaah—Sword Strike!"

"Charge! Annihilate all these Monsters!"

"Watch out! Another group of Goblins is coming!"

"Mage team, attack! Fireball!"

Bang bang bang—!

Over a hundred fire spells, launched from the team, landed amidst the charging Goblins, creating waves of explosive tremors!

Rumble…

Rumble… Rumble…

One deafening explosion after another blasted the Goblin horde to pieces, sending blood and severed limbs flying through the air!

However, these Goblins showed no fear. They quickly regrouped and continued their charge!

"Yaaah*&…"

"Ya-gu*&%!"

The Goblins let out sharp, unpleasant shrieks, repeatedly slamming their bodies against the City Guard's defensive line!

"Hold the line, everyone! We absolutely cannot let the Goblins break through!"

"Mage team, cast Fire Wall!"

Wu Ming stood within the ranks, calmly commanding the team's assault!

As one of the City Guard's captains, the current situation was hardly a challenge for Wu Ming.

Without any high-ranking, superior Goblin variants, these Bronze Rank Goblins stood no chance of breaking through his defense!

However, the City Guard's main battlefield was not here at this moment!

His only task was to segment the battlefield and create a favorable main engagement for the other captains!

Wu Ming glanced at the Goblins temporarily held back by the Fire Wall, then took the opportunity to look back at the situation behind them.

Hundreds of meters away, a team of only a hundred people was engaged in a far more critical battle!

Their opponents were five full Gold-grade Ogres!

At this moment, the five Ogres were bound by dozens of thick ropes around their limbs!

The Warriors in the team were also straining to pull the ropes, attempting to restrict the Ogres' movements!

"Pull the ropes tighter! Don't let them break free!"

"Archers! Attack!"

As a loud shout echoed through the team, dozens of arrows flew from the rear of the formation, streaking towards the struggling, massive figures ahead!

Fwip fwip fwip—!

"Roar—!!!"

The Ogres roared in pain as the arrows struck them, their already furious tempers escalating!

They repeatedly swung their massive wooden clubs, the terrifying gusts of wind sweeping across the ground, kicking up clouds of gray dust!

"Aaaah—"

Several screams pierced the air as a few Warriors were flung into the sky by the Ogres' movements!

"Disgraceful! Hold on, all of you!"

A shout rang out, and a figure charged out of the team, catching the airborne Warriors and tossing them back into the ranks!

"Wang Xin, your poison isn't working! Why are these Monsters still so strong!"

A muscular man wielding a great hammer landed, shouting in a deep, thunderous voice at a gaunt woman.

Wang Xin squatted on the ground, her pale face casting a cold glance at the gruff man as she said with a sinister smile:

"Hehehe… Without my poison, do you think those weaklings could have held these Ogres?"

"What did you say! Are you looking down on my men?"

Lei Yuanyun's eyes widened, and he roared at Wang Xin in anger!

"Alright, alright, Old Lei, calm your temper. You know Wang Xin doesn't like it when people say her poison is useless."

Yun Yu, clad in a white robe that swayed gently, approached Lei Yuanyun. She lightly tapped his arm with her staff, chuckling.

As the only Priest among the captains, she often interacted with Lei Yuanyun's team and was naturally aware of his straightforward, blunt nature!

Yun Yu slightly bent down to support Wang Xin's shoulder, smiling as she said to her:

"Sister Wang Xin, don't be angry, Old Lei means absolutely no harm."

"Hmph! I know that, otherwise he would have already fallen."

Wang Xin glanced dismissively at Lei Yuanyun and said with a sinister smile.

"Hahaha—joke's on you! With your scrawny arms and legs, I could take on ten of you with one hand!"

"Heh, want to try my poison?"

Lei Yuanyun and Wang Xin glared at each other defiantly, looking like they were about to fight!

"Alright, alright, everyone calm down."

Yun Yu stood between them with a smile, saying lightly.

Just then, an angry voice came from the side:

"I said, enough! This is not the time to quarrel!"

A young man dressed as a swordsman walked towards them, looking displeased at the three.

Wang Xin glanced at the man, sneered, and ignored him.

Lei Yuanyun, however, nodded at the man and said with a helpless and anxious expression:

"Brother Li, I don't want to argue with this little vixen, I'm just anxious!"

Seeing Lei Yuanyun's anxious and agitated state, Li Mengzhang couldn't help but sigh inwardly, saying with a somber expression:

"I know you're anxious, but what good does it do?"

Li Mengzhang pointed at one of the five struggling ogres and said:

"Judging by the wounds on that ogre, the team members covering our rear have likely met a grim fate."

Lei Yuanyun fell silent. Although he didn't want to admit it, he knew Li Mengzhang was telling the truth!

The strongest among the three squads was only Silver Rank, and they were no match for a Gold-grade ogre!

Since the monster wasn't dead, it meant that everyone who stayed behind to cover their retreat had likely perished!

"Roar...!"

At that moment, one of the five struggling ogres suddenly knelt on the ground!

"The poison... is taking effect..."

Wang Xin pointed at the ogre, her face still wearing a sinister smile.

"Excellent! As long as we keep shooting, let the toxins in these ogres fully take effect, and we can easily finish them off!"

Yun Yu clapped her hands together, her face beaming with a smile.

Lei Yuanyun's eyes lit up as well, and he raised the great hammer in his hand, eager to act:

"I'll take care of this guy first!"

With that, Lei Yuanyun leaped up, raising his great hammer and smashing it towards the ogre that had half-knelt on the ground!

"Wait..."

Li Mengzhang shouted, extending his hand, but it was too late to stop Lei Yuanyun's actions. He could only watch as he flew towards the ogre!

Power Hammer Strike!

Lei Yuanyun gripped the hammer handle with a ferocious expression, his arms instantly swelling by several sizes. He swung the great hammer towards the ogre's head!

BOOM!!

With a deafening roar, the great hammer slammed heavily onto the ogre's head!

Lei Yuanyun revealed a bloodthirsty smile and swung the hammer handle again, smashing it towards the ogre!

BOOM!!!

With this strike, the ground itself trembled like an earthquake. The stone bricks within a three-meter radius of the ogre were instantly pulverized by this blow!

Thick blood gushed out like a fountain, blooming into scarlet flowers on the ground!

Lei Yuanyun shouldered his great hammer and looked at the ogre he had killed with two blows, bursting into laughter!

The surrounding team members, seeing Lei Yuanyun's immense power, also erupted in cheers!

Even Yun Yu and Wang Xin were drawn to Lei Yuanyun's display, their eyes filled with astonishment!

However, Li Mengzhang was not among them. He looked sternly at the other four ogres, who had suddenly stopped struggling.

Gradually, Li Mengzhang felt a bad premonition rising in his heart!

Li Mengzhang's expression changed, and he quickly shouted:

"Be careful, something's wrong!"
