The strength of these trolls was indeed considerable, otherwise, how could Xiao Xun have used the trolls' illusions to scare those magical beasts to death back at Mount Miga Gale.
With the trolls' astonishing arm strength and accuracy, even with rudimentary stones as weapons, they could easily smash those ghouls to pieces!
Not only were the trolls under his command, but Sasha himself was also constantly shrieking, picking up any stones he could find around him and flinging them at the ghouls.
This was a definite advantage; trolls never had to worry about supplies or weapons, picking up anything from the ground at any time to use as a projectile!
For some reason, Xiao Xun felt that this troll lord was fighting exceptionally hard, abandoning his previous timid and withdrawn demeanor, as if deliberately trying to impress Xiao Xun.
Could it be that he had a change of heart and realized his previous performance was not good enough?
With a hint of doubt, Xiao Xun continued to fight.
He wielded the King of Realms, and each sweep of the sharp blade severed a swath of undead into two!
As easy as slicing tofu!
On a battlefield of this scale, his individual killing power surpassed that of those twenty soldiers!
Xiao Xun's expression was unreadable, like a harvesting machine tirelessly reaping the undead army, or like a reef in the sea, unmoving as the vast ocean of the undead army crashed against it!
With such an endless stream of skeleton soldiers, even with a divine weapon in hand, he would be exhausted to death. He was searching for the commander of this undead army.
After searching for nearly ten minutes, Xiao Xun finally pinpointed his target: three undead mages clad in black robes.
Seeing these three, a cold smirk played on his lips.
They truly thought highly of my fifty-odd men, sending a force three times larger than yesterday evening to ambush me!
He let out a low growl, then his body sprang forward, the dark green King of Realms carving a one-man-wide path through the sea of undead.
He encountered an Abomination.
Killed with a single sword strike!
Hordes of Destroyers descended from the sky.
The King of Realms unleashed waves of sword energy, tearing them all to shreds!
Undead charged forward, screaming.
The undead mages began to panic.
Noticing the Destroyers in the sky falling in waves and disappearing without a trace, even a fool would know that someone was charging towards them!
They had indeed received the mission to ambush Swain, but it seemed they were about to lose.
"We've been discovered!"
One of them whispered, "What do we do?"
"What do we do? Of course, we fight!"
The one in the middle roared, "With so many of us, are we afraid of him?!"
"But they are clearly coming for us."
The last one said worriedly, "It's obvious the undead can't stop them, can we win?"
"Yes, yes," the one on the left said anxiously.
"Two cowards, you..."
The one in the middle immediately cursed, clearly more loyal to the King of Arrogance than the other two.
However, before his scolding was completely finished.
A huge figure, wings beating, slowly descended before the three of them.
Upon seeing this, the three immediately prostrated themselves.
"My lord, why have you come in person?" the one in the middle asked, "My lord, rest assured, we are here, and the battle is under control. We will definitely be able to..."
"Go back, you have already failed," said the colossal figure.
The undead mage in the middle moved his lips unwillingly, finally saying dejectedly, "Understood, my lord!"
This person was named An Mie, and he was the new legion commander of the Scourge Legion after Zhen Hun went missing.
At this moment, Xiao Xun was very close to them, close enough for An Mie to see him with the naked eye. Xiao Xun had also seen him.
Xiao Xun unleashed a sword energy attack, but it missed. He then put away his sword and turned to leave.
Upon returning to the camp, the undead had also retreated. Because the battle was short, they had suffered almost no casualties. After healing the few carelessly injured soldiers with holy light, they went to rest early.
The next morning, they returned to the camp. The return journey was much faster than the outward journey, at least they didn't need to search everywhere, corresponding to the locations on the map.
Furthermore, Sasha, the Frost Troll, was extremely unreliable, leading them on many difficult paths.
When the soldiers saw Xiao Xun returning, one of them immediately ran to report to Dukar and Jiffni.
Upon his return, he first ordered the soldiers to their posts, then walked towards his tent, preparing to rest.
As Xiao Xun walked beside his tent, Dukar and Jiffni had already walked in.
"Your Highness Swain!" he said excitedly, "Congratulations on your safe return!"
"Your Highness Swain!" Jiffni saluted, her face also showing obvious excitement, but her words were slightly fewer.
"Enough with the pleasantries."
Hearing Dukar's words, Xiao Xun first scolded him with a smile, then his first question was about the battle results. "Dukar, what were the results of last night's battle? What were the casualties?"
"Reporting, Your Highness, last night's battle was not intense. The total casualties were one hundred and thirty, of which one hundred and twenty-eight were injured and only two died," Dukar replied, his expression still holding that excited hue, with a hint of fanatical admiration. "Furthermore, Your Highness, the priests, as you said, played a significant role on the battlefield. The enemy's necromancy has become useless, and we indirectly killed countless undead with this tactic alone!"
"Your Highness Swain, you are truly great!"
"For any spell, no matter how powerful or insidious, there will always be another spell to counter it. I was merely lucky enough to find it."
"Also, Your Highness, there is a problem that needs to be addressed, which is that the consumption of dispelling magic is too great."
At this moment, Jiffni next to him spoke, "Because they were assisting in combat on the battlefield, after the battle, the priests often did not have the energy to help the soldiers treat their wounds. Lord Thankris reported this to me this morning, Your Highness..."
"This tactic cannot be abandoned; we simply need more, and more excellent priests."
Jiffni nodded, saying no more. She naturally understood this point, but this matter had to be brought up, to let Xiao Xun know.
"Does Your Highness Swain have any other ideas?"
Dukar's attention was clearly focused on other matters. He was more inclined towards combat, and logistical matters clearly did not attract his attention. "Could you tell us?"
"I can tell you, but there are no solid concepts yet. I am thinking of a skill that ordinary priests can use to temporarily and significantly increase the soldiers' strength and physique..."
Dukar and Jiffni were slightly moved. It was imaginable that if this move were to be unveiled, it would undoubtedly be another powerful skill that could change the tide of battle!
"Don't think about it, I haven't figured it out yet."
Xiao Xun saw their expressions and knew what they were thinking. He smiled and said, "I've tried a few, but either the effect is not strong enough, or it harms the person's body. I haven't found a perfect solution yet."
"That would still be very powerful!" Dukar's face showed longing.
At this moment, the Frost Troll lord Sasha walked over, hesitating to speak.
"By the way, Jiffni, have the soldiers fetch ten bags of frozen meat."
