Since the feud had already been formed, no matter what the purpose of the Trun Kingdom was, Mas would definitely interfere!
The treasure of the heavens belonged to the capable, not to mention the fact that there were only 1000 soldiers from the Spear Legion.
Although the other party was stronger than ordinary people, Mas was not afraid.
A hundred meters in the sky, Mas saw that after the Trun Spear Legion kept approaching the nine Big Murlocs, they took down the alchemy spears behind them and threw them at the Big Murloc with all their might. The spears that fell from the sky continuously penetrated the bodies of the Big Murloc.
After a rain of spears, there were only five advanced Level 5 Big Murlocs that were bitterly holding on.
Although the overall strength of the Trun Spear Legion, as professionals, was around level two or three, their armor and spears were real level four alchemy items.
Armor could defend against most attacks while spears could be used as long-range attacks to kill enemies. In addition to their well-trained formations, the combination of spears and shields greatly increased their combat strength, and it was even easier to fight across ranks.
Facing the nine Big Murloc in front of them, the four squads surrounded them from all directions at the same time, using their shields to push forward.
The Trun Spear Legion at the front held a huge shield in their left hand, blocking in front of their bodies to block the attacks. Their right hand held a spear as they continuously pushed forward, while the soldiers at the back used the gaps between the shield formation of the soldiers in front to continuously stab out with their spears.
This kind of formation was similar to the top-notch ancient Roman formation of the Blue Star in his previous life. The Square Strangulation Formation was used to deal with close-combat enemies. This perfect formation was a sure-kill formation. Once the enemy was trapped, it was almost certain death.
Furthermore, the most terrifying part of this formation was that if the soldiers at the front died, the soldiers at the back would immediately charge forward and exhaust the enemies trapped in the formation. In the end, the enemies would be pierced through by the Heart Piercing Spear and die.
Of course, this formation also had a fatal flaw. It lacked mobility and was very afraid of the light cavalry kites and heavy cavalry charging.
Once this formation connected with the heavy cavalry soldiers, the seemingly unbreakable formation would break apart.
Meanwhile, the five struggling Big Murlocs clearly did not have this type of ability right now. Even though their bodies were powerful, they continuously used their own strength to collide with the pikemen holding giant shields.
Even if their sharp claws could leave deep scratches on the Alchemy Shield, it was useless.
The pikemen’s alchemy spears could easily pierce through their wounds.
As the space where they could move became smaller and smaller, the five Big Murlocs helplessly gathered together. They let out angry roars before they died, their eyes revealing the fear of death.
“Continue to attack. These animals are obviously unable to resist any longer. Don’t be afraid. After you die, your family will receive a generous pension. If you dare to retreat, kill!”
A man in golden armor with a spear on his back and a huge shield shouted from the back of the formation. It was obvious that he was the highest commander of this Spear Legion.
Under his command, a thousand Trun Spear Legion held the remaining five Murlocs in a tight grip despite the continuous loss of soldiers.
As more and more wounds appeared on the bodies of the Big Murloc, the blood that continuously flowed out also caused their resistance to become weaker and weaker, and their escape became even more difficult.
Right at this moment, an unexpected event occurred.
In the Salt Lake, a huge black shadow rushed out of the lake. Looking closely, it turned out to be a Big Murloc that was six meters long.
This Murloc’s body was even thicker and its appearance was even more ferocious. It was the Leader of the Big Murlocs who Mas and company had previously deduced!
He had dark green scales on his body and a three-meter-long silver trident in his right hand.
When Mas saw the trident in the Big Murloc’s hand, his face was filled with shock.
“Mithril Trident?!” Mas was in disbelief.
He really could not figure out why a demi-human could have such a treasure. Was this the true purpose of the Trun Kingdom’s bounty?
Mithril was a high-grade ore on par with red crystals.
Among all the high-grade ores, mithril had pretty good anti-magic effects. It was already the best anti-shock effect.
One had to know that a catty of high-grade mithril was worth hundreds of thousands of gold coins.
It could be said that the trident in the Leader of the Big Murlocs’ hand was worth at least 10 million gold coins!
“It’s impossible for the Trun Kingdom to mobilize such a large force for more than 10 million. Although this Mithril Trident is rather precious, it’s not worth it for a kingdom. It looks like the purpose of the Trun Kingdom is to obtain a treasure that is even more precious than this trident!” Mas thought to himself.
The sudden appearance of this advanced Level 6 Leader of the Big Murlocs made the Trun Spear Legion and commander of the army feel quite a bit of pressure.
“There’s no need to be afraid. Kill those five dying animals first!” The commander roared, trying to stabilize the morale of the troops.
However, how could the Leader of the Big Murlocs be willing to let his people be tortured to death? One had to know that his daughter and son were among the four Murlocs who had died previously!
Thus, he began to move!
His massive body moved quickly under the power of the fishtail, rushing straight towards the Spear Legion that was closest to the lake.
He was six meters tall, weighed nearly a ton, and had terrifying physical strength. Coupled with the Mithril Trident, he was like a wild horse that had broken free of its reins and was charging fiercely at the soldiers in the square.
In just a simple charge, more than twenty soldiers died on his trident.
Although his attack method was simple, it was very violent and effective.
The physical strength of an advanced Level 6 professional coupled with the indestructible Mithril Trident was not something that these soldiers with the strength of a Level 3 professional could take.
Even if the Mithril Trident hit the Level 4 Giant Alchemy Shield, combined with the strength of the Leader of the Murlocs, the shield and soldiers would be smashed into meat paste. It could be said to be extremely powerful.
Seeing that the number of soldiers was decreasing, even the experienced commander could not help but panic.
He was very clear that once the Leader of the Big Murlocs broke through a corner of the formation, the remaining five Big Murlocs would escape. With their will to survive, even if they could win this battle, they would definitely suffer heavy casualties.
He looked at the mercenaries who were still eager to give it a try and shouted loudly, “I am Mars, one of the three commanders of the Trun Kingdom’s army. As long as you help me block the Leader of the Big Murlocs, everyone will receive 100,000 gold coins!”
In the face of Mars’ persuasion, the surrounding mercenaries all treated it as farts and sneered.
What kind of joke was this? If they were asked to stop the Leader of the Big Murlocs with 100,000 gold coins, they would probably lose their lives!
