There was only a broken crescent moon in the sky today, so the moonlight wasn't that bright.
Adding in the fact that the Black Rice Wasteland wasn't lit up like Banta City, once it was late at night, there was only the bonfire in the middle of the caravan's camp that was releasing a bright light.
In this boundless wasteland, this bonfire was the most obvious target. It led countless orcs who could no longer hold themselves back to swarm over.
There was a long and mournful wolf's roar that came from the dead silence all around. Then there was the sound of the wasteland shaking, like countless horses were quickly galloping across the wasteland.
Hearing this sound, chairman Renersa's expression changed.
"This is bad!
There are actually bull beastmen! "
As soon as his voice fell, there was a group of large black figures that appeared in the distance. They were charging over with a wild aura.
At the same time, there were countless black figures that appeared in all directions. Some were tall, some were thin, but they all released an incomparably fierce aura.
"Chairman, it seems to be the Beastmen Independent Army!" A Renekton Chamber of Commerce guard shouted to chairman Renersa with a look of fear.
Chairman Renersa's expression changed again.
Xu Yi on the side asked in a surprised voice, "What is the Beastmen Independent Army?"
Chairman Renersa shook his head, "This is a group of beastmen who aren't willing to accept humans on the Black Rice Wasteland. To put it bluntly, they are a group of beastmen bandits.
But they are different from the other beastmen who rob human caravans. These fellows have a deep hatred for humans, so they will kill all the humans in the caravan after each robbery.
The kingdom's army has surrounded them many times, so I thought that since they didn't appear for a while, they should have disappeared.
But I never thought ….. that they would appear again. "
Seeing chairman Renersa's dark expression, Xu Yi asked, "Are they very strong?"
Chairman Renersa pointed at the beastmen quickly approaching with a bitter smile, "There are this many of them, how could they not be strong?"
Xu Yi wanted to ask more, but he suddenly heard the sound of countless arrows piercing through the air. Then, he saw a group of Orcs at least two hundred meters away fall down.
Chairman Renersa stared blankly before revealing a trace of joy. He forcefully grabbed Xu Yi's shoulder and said, "Fortunately, Chairman Xu, you brought these fifty elven guards.
Otherwise, we might die here tonight! "
Compared to humans, although the night environment was more advantageous for most beastmen, how could the beastmen compare to the elves who were known as the children of the night?
Although it was pitch-black in front of them, under Fario's command, the fifty elven warriors didn't miss their target. Arrows flew out one after another, and beastmen fell one after another.
In order to cooperate fully with Xu Yi, these fifty warriors were the strongest elven warriors selected by Elder Elucía from the Nightsong tribe. Naturally, there was no need to doubt their combat strength.
From the start of the battle, they immediately revealed their combat strength that far surpassed ordinary human warriors.
However, there were simply too many orcs. Although the fifty elven warriors were able to shoot down an orc with every arrow, that wasn't all there was to it. They couldn't completely stop the frenzied orcs from closing in on them.
In the blink of an eye, the Orcs at the front were less than a hundred meters away from the caravan. They could even clearly see the fierce wolf head of the Orc at the front.
Seeing this situation, Chairman Renersa sighed, "It's a pity that those noble mages look down on our chamber of commerce. Otherwise, it would be a lot better if we had a powerful mage."
When chairman Renersa was about to order his guards to charge forward to fight the beastmen, he suddenly heard Xu Yi laugh beside him. Then he saw a giant fireball that was as tall as a person fly out from beside him, landing in the middle of a dense group of beastmen.
"Boom!"
The huge fireball fiercely exploded among the Orcs.
With a loud bang, countless orcs were blasted away by the impact of the fireball.
Sparks flew everywhere as countless Orcs were ignited in flames.
In the blink of an eye, the Orcs charging in Chairman Renersa's direction were utterly defeated.
Chairman Renersa was stunned as he turned to look at Xu Yi, just in time to see him throw another huge fireball.
After staring blankly for a moment, Chairman Renersa suddenly understood.
After being in contact with Xu Yi for so long, he had always regarded Xu Yi as the chairman of the New Flyer. He had completely forgotten that Xu Yi had another identity, a powerful mage!
Although Chairman Renersa didn't know Xu Yi's current mage rank, he could tell that his mage rank wasn't low since he could casually throw a fireball that could cause such huge damage.
More importantly, this meant that among the guards of the caravan, there were actually mages!
It had to be known that the reason why mages had such a high status in the Sines was because of the power of magic. It played a very important role in war.
It was also because of this that many famous large companies would invite mages to be their special guards.
Although Chairman Renersa had long wanted to invite some mages to be the guards of the Renekton Chamber of Commerce, low level mages didn't have much meaning. The mages that could play a role were all invited by the company and didn't put the Renekton Chamber of Commerce in their eyes. This caused the guards of the Renekton Chamber of Commerce to not have a single mage.
It was because there weren't any mages that he was a bit worried when he saw the Orcs.
But now that he remembered that Xu Yi was also a powerful magician, chairman Renersa's confidence increased. When he looked at the fierce beastmen on the other side, he felt that they weren't a threat at all.
The sudden appearance of the fireball not only restored chairman Renersa's confidence, it also greatly increased the morale and confidence of the guards of the caravan.
Knowing that they actually had a powerful Mage on their side, the guards immediately chased away all their despair and were instantly filled with courage.
After Xu Yi used a few spells to blast the Orcs into pieces, the Renekton Chamber of Commerce's guard commander roared and led the guards to charge out, meeting the Orcs that had finally arrived.
The elves led by Fario also put away their bows and took out their elven short swords. They also began to engage the Orcs in close combat.
Once they began to engage in close combat, it completely showed the difference in battle strength between humans, Orcs, and elves.
Although the guards of the Renekton Chamber of Commerce were all outstanding human warriors that chairman Renersa had recruited from all over the world, once they began to fight with the Orcs, they were at a disadvantage.
Especially when they were facing the strongest of the Orcs, the Barbarian Bulls. They even needed two to three human guards to barely block one.
The remaining Wolf Men, Tiger Men, and other Orc warriors couldn't compare to the Barbarian Bulls, but in a one on one situation, they still had the upper hand.
The Renekton Chamber of Commerce and the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce had brought a total of three hundred guards, but they could only block a hundred Orcs. They could barely block the Orcs from breaking through from the front.
There were around two to three hundred beastmen attacking at night. If it wasn't for the fact that close to a hundred of them had been taken down by the elves' arrows and Xu Yi's magic, these guards wouldn't have been able to stop them at all.
In comparison, the elves that blocked the Orcs' attack on the other side showed a completely higher battle strength.
Although there were only fifty elves, when facing a hundred Orcs, these fifty elves were even more relaxed than the three hundred human guards.
Xu Yi saw that the elves were still able to maintain their graceful steps and postures in battle. Their every move looked extremely light and beautiful.
However, the orcs fell to the ground one by one as if they had no strength at all. It was as if they could not resist at all.
Seeing this scene, Xu Yi finally understood why the elves were able to rule the entire continent thousands of years ago.
Whether it was close combat or long range archery, they were extremely talented. They could even be the teachers of humans in magic. It would be strange if they couldn't rule the entire continent.
If it wasn't for the low birth rate of the elves, even if there wasn't any chaos, it would have been very hard for the humans to take control of the continent from the elves.
While thinking about the history of the Sines, Xu Yi's hands didn't stop. He would throw out one or two spells from time to time, sending the Orcs that were about to break through the defense flying.
The battle lasted for about half an hour and more than half of the attacking Orcs had already fallen.
The remaining hundred Orcs saw that the situation was bad and an unknown Orc let out a loud howl. All the Orcs immediately forced their opponents away and turned around to run for their lives.
Chairman Renersa stopped the guards from chasing and the elves also stopped because Xu Yi didn't give the order to chase.
Seeing the remaining Orcs quickly disappear into the boundless wilderness under the cover of night, Chairman Renersa let out a long sigh of relief.
"Alright.
Even the Orcs of the Orc Independence Legion were easily repelled by us. I think the other Orcs of the Black Rice Wasteland shouldn't be so blind as to provoke us. "
Xu Yi looked at the Orcs lying in a pool of blood around the caravan and remained silent.
Although he didn't have a compassionate heart and wouldn't sympathize with the Orcs who had killed many human compatriots, this was his first time participating in a real battle.
Even if he only threw out a few spells and didn't fight in close range, it still made him feel a bit uncomfortable.
Seeing the expression on Xu Yi's face, chairman Renersa thought about it and guessed why Xu Yi was suddenly silent.
Thinking about it, chairman Renersa patted Xu Yi's shoulder and comforted him, "Relax, you'll get used to it in the future.
In the end, the continent isn't as peaceful as Banta City. "
Xu Yi gave a slight nod.
He understood that if he wanted to change the continent, this was one of the important problems he had to face.
Or rather, the reason why he wanted to change the continent was to change the primitive appearance of the continent.
Just looking at the bloody scene in front of him, he deeply felt something.
The path he had chosen might be long and arduous.
But for him, there was only one choice, which was to never turn back and firmly continue down this path.
