The Lord of the Rings: Lords of Middle-earth.

Chapter 100 Centaur Meteor Shower

"Human! Don't push your luck!" The leading centaur was somewhat enraged.

“Heh! You want war! Then I’ll give you war!” Roland said without backing down.

"Lagrange warriors! Tell them! What happened to the last alien race that invaded us!" Roland roared, raising his Dragon Slayer Sword.

"Death! They will become nourishment for the grass and trees next year!" the fanatical soldiers roared.

"Either withdraw from my territory or be killed by us! I, the King of Lagrange, give you this final ultimatum!" Roland said in a tone that was both calm and terrifying.

"Humans, you have gone too far! I will make you pay the price!" The centaur leader trembled with rage.

"Then let me see just how much the centaurs can cost me!" Roland said, completely unconcerned.

"Knights! Assemble! Prepare to charge!" Roland roared. At his command, the knights of the Holy Glory Knights quickly assembled, forming the most standard wedge formation for the charge!

"For the glory of Lagrange! Knights, charge with me!" Roland activated his divine aura and led the knights out.

"Glory! Mercy..." One status skill after another was stacked on the knights, and various colored battle flames quickly covered the knights.

"Charge!" Roland and the others raised their lances and pointed them straight ahead. The dazzling battle aura extended several meters from the tips of the lances. Accompanied by a violent roar, the knights rolled in like a steel torrent!

"Shoot!" The Battanian archers, showing no sign of weakness, casually drew their longbows, nocked arrows, and fired!
"Multiple Arrows! Fire!" Instantly, a rain of arrows fell from the sky, countless long arrows condensed from battle energy spinning as they fell.

"Defend!" the centaur shouted as he heard the whistling of the arrows.

"laugh!"

"Pfft!"

"Tear!"

The centaurs raised their wooden or leather shields, and streaks of green battle aura quickly covered the shields. However, the powerful multi-shot arrows pierced through the centaurs' simple shields. Except for a few arrows that were shot at bad angles, the other arrows that hit the centaurs were effective. In an instant, it was a scene of chaos, with many centaurs being shot to the ground.

"Raise your guns! Prepare for the charge!" Roland roared, estimating the location.

"Kill these invaders!" the centaur leader roared angrily, brandishing his intricately engraved wooden spear to deflect the flying arrows.

"Kill!" the centaur leader roared, pulling out a massive longbow two and a half meters long from his back.

"Archers, take cover! Holy Knights, raise your shields!" Caslo and Roland's pupils shrank, as if they had seen something terrifying.

"Retreat! Get out of here!" Countless Battanian archers turned their horses in terror and galloped away in the opposite direction. Roland and his Holy Knights had no choice but to press on. "Bang bang bang~" The crisp sound of bowstrings echoed at the edge of the forest as countless centaurs surged forth, drawing back their longbows. Wooden arrows imbued with wood-attribute battle energy were hurled rapidly, streaks of green "meteors" raining down on Roland and his men from the sky!

"Centaur Meteor Shower!" Roland shouted.

"Pay attention to blocking! Unleash your battle aura to the maximum!" Caslo roared.

Centaur Meteor Shower! The centaurs' signature move! Their battle aura grants them incredibly high firing speed and arrows that increase in gravity over time; the higher they fly, the greater their power upon impact! Upon hitting an object, the wood elemental battle aura contained within will also corrode the target's battle aura or magic, accelerating its depletion! Typically, an ordinary centaur can unleash nearly 50 arrows in 5 seconds! (Centaurs are natural knights or archers! Although advancement is difficult, their innate professional advantages allow them to thrive in the wastelands and forests!)
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The knights' shields trembled incessantly as arrows rained down upon them, and the countless battle aura shields protecting the knights began to crumble! The battle aura consumption of everyone in the knightly order suddenly increased! For the first time, Roland felt a trace of fear; the once indestructible Glory skill was about to be breached head-on for the first time!

"Kill! Charge! Don't let them shoot!" Roland roared furiously. Since there was no way to retreat, then they would fight to the death!

The Battanian archers had long since escaped the range of the arrow rain, only the Holy Light Knights were still charging into the midst of the storm of human and horse meteors, the battle aura on each knight's body beginning to flicker...

"Your Highness! We can't get through like this!" Caslo shouted through the hail of arrows.

"Charge! We still have hope!" Roland roared.

"Bang!" A wooden arrow falling from the sky struck the crumbling battle shield like the last straw that broke the camel's back. The shield trembled and quietly shattered...

"Fearless Spirit!" A flash of light appeared on the Eliar in Roland's hand, and the feeling of being stuck in the mud disappeared instantly, as did the impact of the Centaur Meteor Shower.

"Immortal Eliar!" Roland roared, and a golden light spread out from Eliar. The knights swept by the light became illusory, and they entered an invincible, ethereal state.

"Kill! Charge!" Roland shouted upon seeing this.

"Kill these invading humans!" The centaurs put away their longbows, grabbed their massive wooden shields and spears, and charged towards the Holy Knights!
"Glory!" Roland roared, as if all difficulties had vanished and been resolved, because... the knights' glory was ready! Five seconds gave them the chance to restart their skills!

Just as the knights emerged from their invincible state, battle aura shields of various colors enveloped the knights of the Holy Light Knights once again!
"Charge!" The centaur leader, gripping his lance, gave the same order!

"Kill!" The centaurs, also knights, raised their wooden lances and charged towards the Holy Light Knights. They were knights too! Born knights! Their centaur-human hybridity gave them an advantage over human knights! They were more agile and their strength more terrifying!
Centaurs have all their major organs concentrated in their torso, while human bodies have bulging muscles! Only a shot to the head or spine can be fatal; otherwise, a shot to any part of the body will not kill a centaur!
Amidst fierce battle cries, two bodies of flesh and blood collided violently! Boom! A series of muffled thuds echoed, and various colors of battle energy clashed and flew everywhere! Amidst the flashing blades and the flickering swords, all sorts of weapons danced wildly!

Finally, after the Holy Knights and the centaurs separated, both sides were surprised to find that no one had fallen from their horses. Even more absurdly, all the centaurs who had been shot down earlier got up, and the Battanian archers who had fled far away also circled back...

The war has suddenly returned to square one!
"Damn glory!" the centaur cursed angrily.

"Shameless sympathizers!" Roland and his group spat.

Both skills involve mutual damage absorption, but the centaur knight's skill is not derived from the chivalry of human knights; instead, it is a natural skill gained through natural perception!
Second watch.
