Wild adventures.
What is important is that "a lion fights a rabbit with all its strength", not everyone can calmly face the death of a teammate fighting side by side.
So from the very beginning, the captain of the guard mobilized elite personnel. Sauron took a quick glance and found that almost all of them were fighters above the second level. This is the easiest profession to cultivate. The cultivation of other professionals requires a lot of resources, especially the various mages. Only fighters can be trained as long as they have enough meat to supplement nutrition and master the corresponding training skills. It's just that high-level fighters pay more attention to aptitude, and it is not easy for fighters who can raise their strength to the third level or above.
"dispersion!"
"Raise your shield!"
Sauron took over the command of the team, and said in a deep voice: "Before the burrowers attack, there will be movement on the ground under their feet. Pay attention to those strange sounds."
"Everyone keep a distance of more than five steps."
"It's best not to block the strong acid spit of the diggers. If you can dodge it, try to dodge it as much as possible, and keep the dodge space between each other."
"Don't use the crossbow."
"These things won't do much against diggers, unless you have sharpshooters among you!"
"Don't attack their backside."
"The defense ability of the burrower's abdomen is the weakest, be careful of the sharp claws on their limbs."
"These bugs have a lot of power."
"Remember to swim and fight, unless necessary, try not to take their attacks hard. They stand upright at a height of 5 meters, and they can form a dive to suppress you. Pay attention to protecting your head."
"The bite force of an burrower can tear through trees."
"If the enemy intends to bite you, you can roll forward immediately. This is the blind spot for the digger attack, and their sawtooth cannot attack within a range of 1.5 meters in front of you."
A series of orders were issued.
The faces of the other caravan guards couldn't help showing a look of astonishment, which gradually turned into a kind of respect.
This is respect for the strong.
Power doesn't just mean how amazing you are, your wisdom and experience are also part of your strength!
Many times experience and wisdom are more useful than pure force.
Sauron seemed to have regained the feeling he had when he was adventuring in the wild, because there were very few wild creatures that could threaten him in the future.
He has not experienced such a battle for a long time.
The two most critical points to deal with diggers are to avoid its strong acid spit and bite attack. Needless to say, the strong acid spit attack can bite trees, and its lethality can be imagined. However, as arthropod-like creatures, the diggers also have a certain blind spot when they attack, just like when they bite, they cannot bend their bodies to a distance of about one meter in front of them. Since half of the huge body with a length of about ten meters is underground, it is not convenient for the digger to move.
At this time, just be careful with the 6-12 leg limbs on their body.
actually.
There is an easier way to deal with burrowers.
That is to be shot by the mysterious descendant of the Northland Witch. The power of the spell is very powerful, and it can often achieve unexpected results.
But Faye always don't take it lightly!
Because they want to ensure that spells are used at the most critical moment, the main members of wild adventures are still fighters.
There are a limited number of spells to cast.
Under normal circumstances, spellcasters use long-range weapons such as light crossbows, short bows, and slings to assist in the battle, or use canes and sticks to help, as long as they don't hit their own people. Only when dealing with a large number of enemies, or boss-level creatures, will they cast spells on a large scale without reservation.
A second-level wizard can only use a dozen or so spells a day.
Lethality is enough.
But the staying power is not so good!
…
"dismount!"
Sauron asked everyone to dismount and walk before approaching.
Then he lay on the ground and listened for a while, then said to the others, "Stamp your feet!"
"Keep the same rhythm."
"Stamp your feet as hard as you can, and be aware of your surroundings."
Dig worms have the characteristic of vibration perception, so they are very sensitive to the vibration sound from the ground. This is the easiest way to startle and irritate them.
really!
There was a slight noise from the ground, and the ground bulged slightly.
"They're down there."
Sauron yelled and began to retreat towards the rear. He still had injuries on his body and was not suitable for a frontal battle.
It's okay to have to make up the knife all the time.
"dispersion!"
The captain of the guard let out a roar, and the muscles all over his body began to swell. The barbarians in the Northland have a special ability to berserk, because of the baptism of severe cold and special exercise methods, there will be no period of weakness after the berserk.
The only downside is that the rampage doesn't last long.
Orc berserkers and barbarians can be berserk for as long as 15 minutes to half an hour. During this period, their physical fitness and explosive power are almost strengthened several times, completely turning them into a killing machine.
But the northern barbarians can only last for a few minutes!
They belonged to the advanced profession of fighters and were not classified as barbarians.
"Crunch!"
A strange sound came from the ground, and then a burrower suddenly emerged from the ground, spraying a cloud of strong acid towards the nearest soldier.
An extremely embarrassing roll.
The warrior avoided half the attack, then covered himself with the shield at the crucial moment.
Dodge successfully!
Most of the strong acid fell on the shield, and the body did not suffer any damage.
"Get rid of it!"
The captain of the guard rushed over with a long sword in hand, and the caravan guards scattered nearby also started to attack.
The five warriors were walking around the Digger, and the others were still scattered around to guard. There were other movements in the ground, and these bugs did not come out in a swarm.
They are waiting for their chance!
Waiting for the enemy to be attracted and the opportunity to sneak attack the loner.
"Damn it!"
Sauron's face suddenly changed, and he ran forward frantically, and at the same time picked up a shield.
The Digger actually found him!
Because he was close to the rear, he stayed away from the battlefield alone, but he became a "lonely person" in the eyes of the diggers.
"Zizz!"
An earth digger emerged from behind Sauron, and opened its mouth to spit out a piece of acid.
Roll and dodge.
The agility of up to 20 points saved Sauron's life at the last moment. He almost avoided the strong acid spray by a slight margin, and then blocked the acid splash with his shield.
The last digger also popped out!
However, because of the unexpected situation on Sauron's side, the others were slightly distracted. A caravan guard was sprayed on the arm, and most of the flesh on one arm was corroded. That guy was also a ruthless character, he cut off his own arm without hesitation, then covered the wound, gritted his teeth and bandaged it up.
The broken arm fell to the ground, and soon corroded to the point where white bones could be seen!
"Cosado!"
Another caravan guard roared, as if wanting to rush over to help him.
"Don't be distracted."
The caravan guard with a broken arm reached out to stop him, and then retreated to the rear, saying in a deep voice, "I'm fine."
"Get rid of them first!"
It is common for soldiers to be injured, so they have a strong tolerance for pain, but the guard can bear the pain of a broken arm and still maintain his calm and calm, which makes Sauron think highly of him. This guy's willpower is definitely strong, but the Northlanders seem to be born with high willpower, maybe it's the harsh and harsh environment that honed them since childhood.
Looks like it's a retired soldier!
Only soldiers who are used to seeing life and death can be so brave and decisive.
"Attack their lower limbs!"
Now that he was listed as a target, Sauron couldn't care less.
He gritted his teeth and pulled out the scimitar, and started to walk around the burrower, seizing the opportunity of it to attack other people from time to time, leaving scars where the burrower had weak defenses. As for attacking the Dig Worm's head again, it was obviously impossible, because his leg injury affected his flexibility.
This kind of dangerous move must be in full strength before you can try it, otherwise you are joking with your life!
"die!"
A dull growl echoed.
Seizing the momentary opportunity, the captain of the guard jumped up, imitating Sauron's method last time, and directly pierced the long sword into the burrower's brain through the gap in the carapace.
The first burrower crashed to the ground!
The pressure from the others was also relieved, and Sauron seized the opportunity to leave the battlefield, looking for an opportunity to kill with one blow.
The opportunity will come soon.
When an earth digger was about to launch a bite attack towards the target, he took a deep breath and started running, then jumped up suddenly, and slashed the scimitar toward the side of the earth digger's head.
A splash of dark green liquid!
The body of the digger froze for a moment, and then collapsed sluggishly.
And one last one.
Just when the others were about to kill the last Digger, the seriously injured Digger suddenly neighed, frantically waving its limbs and crawling towards the ground.
It's going to run away!
Sauron didn't hesitate at all, he took a breath to calm down his heartbeat, and then shouted at another soldier: "Give me the javelin!"
A spear was thrown over.
Sauron reached out to take the spear and turned it around, turned the tip of the spear downwards, and then jumped up suddenly, at a height of four or five meters. He shouted loudly and held the handle of the spear with both hands, It stabbed down towards the ground.
Pooh!
A stream of dark green blood spattered out.
There was a sharp hissing sound from the ground, and the soil trembled and rolled. Sauron held down the spear firmly, and used all his strength to drive the spear into the ground bit by bit.
finally.
The ground gradually calmed down, and the battle was over.

(Professional information [Northern barbarians]: They have unique berserk skills, and they will soak their whole bodies in ice water during exercise. The cold suppresses their berserk power, and they cannot greatly improve their strength like barbarians, but it also reduces their strength. Berserk's overdraft of physical potential, while retaining their own sanity, allows them to still have good combat effectiveness after berserk. [Rage +2 strength, +1 physique.])
