The first crash could only send a few of the orcs down, and those were mostly the ones who crashed at the stone golem. Winter used his shield while Nathaniel used the blow from the slash of his ax with the special skill [Wind slash].
The main purpose of the attack was not to kill the orcs, but to stop the collision of fifty orcs at once, which would have done great harm to the fighters in the back row.
However, due to this, now thirty orcs surrounded the three of them. The orcs that had just fallen were standing up and joining the siege.
At this moment, Nathaniel, Winter, and the stone golem were standing in the middle with their backs to each other, ready to fight the siege.
"This is bad..."
"Don't worry."
Winter raised his hand. There, on his finger was the storage ring he got from this pillar.
"Here's the plan..."
Winter took out several items and showed them to Nathanael.
"Good plan," replied Nathanael.
The object Winter was holding was a smoke grenade. He took out five pieces and immediately pulled the trigger and threw them.
The orcs around were immediately on guard to see the object that was thrown by Winter...
Hiss—
White smoke immediately came out and filled the surrounding area...
While they were still distracted by the smoke, they suddenly heard Winter shout!
"Forward!!"
The three of them split up and attacked every part of the siege.
The smoke wasn't enough to blind the orcs. These orcs have a good sense of smell as well as a fairly fast motion reaction. They could adapt easily.
Even so, the smoke at least helped to make it difficult for them to see the position of their three opponents among the thirty orcs. The smoke made them have a hard time seeing far-away things, so they couldn't easily gang up on these three warriors. And as expected, the stone golem was able to hit and smash the orcs it attacked one by one with its giant body.
Clank! Clank!
The orcs' counterattack wasn't strong enough to bring the golem down. The machetes and clubs had little to no effect against the golem's stone body.
Bam!! The golem's fist violently sent one of the orcs flying.
However, the dozens of orcs who had just gathered immediately jumped and beat the golem up.
Whoosh—
Seeing the numerous orcs surrounding the golem, Nathanael launched continuous wind slashes and immediately cornered 2 orcs and killed one of them.
The stone golem immediately broke free and returned to throwing the orcs that were still on its back, then stomping on them hard...
The stomp was so hard that the orc could only lay still, unmoving.
Some of the orcs changed their targets and began to attack Nathanael.
But Nathanael returned to using his footsteps and wind steps to swiftly take his position and dodged yet again in the thick smoke.
On the other hand, Winter, with his warrior spirit stance, has a speed almost equal to Nathanael's. Not to mention, his immunity and muscles were no less strong than the golem's. With the stone skin and warrior spirit skills, Winter was not afraid to fight alone against the siege.
Clank! Clank!
Winter parried the orcs' machete attacks and fought back with his shortsword.
Splat!!
Fortunately, apart from their great strength and ferocity, these orcs don't have good fighting techniques. This was Winter's opportunity to sharpen the sword and shield skills he had learned.
The Doomsday Pillar had a comprehensive library of knowledge that could easily enter their minds. But memorizing a theory was in no way the same as getting it right. With sufficient training, the art of battle could be perfected.
[Sword and shield Art]
He blocked their attacks, countered with stabs, swept away their attacks with his shield, turning and striking with slashes, and blocked their hits and stabbed again.
Splat—
Winter seemed to be very compatible with fighting with his weapons. The sword and shield seemed to be one with him.
Experienced fighters like him and other elite members had an advantage in mastering skills. They were used to fighting previously, so the skills' movements drawn on their heads could be used naturally.
Winter and the stone golem were able to fight quite safely due to their strong armors. Nathanael could only rely on his fast footsteps, and only if he gets cornered would he depend on the attack from that ax.
Whoosh!
These orcs in front of him had already felt the prowess of Nathanael's ax attacks. Finally, the orc leader, which was in armor, stood before him.
GRAAAAH!!!
Clank!
The orc in armor positioned itself to fight him. And it seemed that his armor was able to withstand the sharp winds of Nathanael's ax.
Clank! Clank!
Two more wind slash attacks failed to penetrate the orcs' armor.
But Nathanael did not back down... Instead, he went back and quickly used his ax to attack the orcs' legs...
The orc in armor looked very confident with its armor covering its entire body.
But Nathanael didn't cut the orc's legs. Instead, he used his ax to pull one of the orc's legs.
"!!!"
The orc in armor immediately lost its balance and fell.
BAMMMMM!!
Before the orc could even try to stand up, Nathaniel was already standing on top of the orcs' body... and was ready to use his knife to stab it.
The two nearby orcs tried to stop Nathaniel's attack. Even though Nathanael's attack was fast, he calculated that if he were to launch this stabbing attack now, he would not be able to avoid the attacks of the two orcs that were approaching him.
However, Nathanael thought the chance to kill this armored orc should not be wasted. Nathanael did not hesitate to stab a hole as he usually would through the orc's headwear.
Splat!!!
GROARRR!!!
To confirm the orc's death, Nathaniel even took the time to rotate the knife after stabbing it. The knife ripped open the head and brain of the orc leader, and the armored orc died instantly.
Whoosh!
A giant club flew at him... and Nathaniel could only take the full brunt.
Bam!!!!
This very violent attack sent Nathanael crashing down 10 meters away. Fortunately, Nathanael managed to avoid the follow-up attack, nimbly jumping back to his feet.
Ouch!
Fresh blood gushed out of his mouth. Without delay, Nathanael checked the status of his protective barrier.
Energy remaining: 32/100
Nathanael was quite surprised. With a single hit, the barrier's protective energy decreased by more than two-thirds of its initial energy amount. No wonder he could feel pain and vomit blood. If Nathanael had not used this barrier, he would have been heavily injured.
"Are you okay there, Nael?" asked Winter in worry.
"Yeah, no need to worry."
Nathanael rose again and used his windwalk energy again to greet the four orcs who were approaching him.
GROAR!
Nathanael hoped that with the death of the armored orc, the orcs would give up or at least lower the morale of the other orc warriors. But it seemed that he had thought wrong.
Nathanael was ready to fight with his spiritual skills and wind ax... he had to be more careful this time. This time, every hit that came from the orcs would break his barrier. Not to mention, Nathanael had already started to feel dizziness in his head. This was a sign that his time to use the spirit skill that he was using was limited.
Ten minutes passed, and the three of them could only kill eight orcs. And now, the situation had become one-sided. Winter was getting cornered and was beginning to take a few hits. He still seemed to be standing firmly, but he had actually suffered deep wounds. Nathanael had started to lose his strength, not being able to run as fast as he was previously able to. And finally, the golem that was previously strong finally fell after being beaten by more than ten orcs at once for so long...
In this critical condition, out of nowhere...
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Crossbow bolts suddenly attacked the fighting orcs, followed by dozens of elite fighters as well as Zee, Flea, and Red. Their arrival immediately turned things around. Until finally, 30 minutes later, all fifty orcs plus ten orcs that died before were finally finished.
After the battle was over, President McCord saw that one by one, the orcs' carcasses disappeared into shining drops of dew that floated across the hall. It made them feel as though the previous battle had never actually happened, but their present condition didn't allow that thought to prevail for long. The injuries inflicted were real, and so were the casualties.
"Could it be that they were just illusions or hologram projections?" A thought suddenly came to her as she observed those shining drops of dew.
All of a sudden, President McCord could feel a refreshing feeling flowing throughout her body, which made her feel much stronger. Not only that, but the bracelet on President McCord's wrist timely gave off a glow and a message.

Just by standing still and watching the battle occur in front of her, she was able to get an increase on her earth realm level.
