third day.
The army officially entered the wilderness area, and the scattered scouts brought back a lot of news, and the scattered adventurers also gained more or less gains. Some time ago, quite a few caravans were attacked and robbed, and those belongings fell into the hands of wilderness creatures, and after some battles, they seized them as spoils of war. Sauron killed some enemies one after another, and accumulated 3000 killing experience points, but the two of them didn't get much Kindle for one point.
"There is a village ahead." Sauron looked at the gradually familiar road, and said to the half-elf ranger next to him: "I passed by here some time ago, and I was attacked by lizardmen inside, and I don't know if they have moved, but now It should have become a gathering place for lizardmen."
If it hadn't been relocated, I'm afraid everyone in that village would have died, right
He gestured to Yas, who was on the side, and then the two of them bent forward along the grassland. There was a small river next to the village, and the lizardmen liked to be close to places with water sources. When they could see the wooden fence of the village from a distance, the half-elf ranger took out a cylinder from his pocket and twirled it, then put it in front of his eyes to observe the front.
Spotting telescope
Sauron stopped in his tracks, waiting for the other party to observe the result.
"It seems to have been occupied by the lizardmen." Yas handed the binoculars to Sauron, and said casually: "A small gadget made by alchemy, 10 Kindlers a piece."
Glass is a relatively common thing, but pure glass is very troublesome to make.
The telescope is a gadget that belongs to the alchemy product. If it is not blessed with spell runes, then the value is about 10 Kindlers. If some special effects are added, the price may be as high as hundreds of Jindler. Sauron picked up the binoculars and observed, and easily saw the figure of the lizardman guard on the sentry tower. The village was already dilapidated, and the lizardmen built many simple huts on top of the burned houses.
"It's quite a lot!" Sauron put down the telescope and handed it back to Yas, and said in a deep voice, "The two of us probably won't be able to eat it. Let's go back and submit the information."
The half-elf ranger nodded, put away the binoculars and walked back.
Adventures in the wilderness must have at least a 50% chance of winning. A seasoned adventurer like him will not easily try a challenge that is too difficult. After all, there is only one life, and it is useless to win if you are dead and disabled. . If you walk too much at night, you will always encounter ghosts. Behavior that is too risky will kill you sooner or later. You can't run corpses here, and you have to pay a high price to recover if you lose arms and legs during the battle.
The two quickly moved back to the rear and handed over the information from the front.
Soon, a big man with the appearance of an officer came in front of them. He was wearing a full body armor, holding a fine steel shield in his hand, equipped with a refined long sword, leather gloves, steel wrist guards and hand crossbows. Behind him is a team of fifty white horse city guards, uniformly equipped with iron inlaid leather armor, iron shield, short sword and light crossbow. There are relatively few archers in Baima City, but there are many crossbowmen, and light infantry can be used as crossbowmen.
In addition, he also brought a gray-robed wizard, whose professional level could not be seen, but it should be above the second level.
"Captain of the 37th Infantry Regiment of the White Horse City Guard, Hanks." The bearded man nodded towards Sauron, and said in a deep voice, "The higher-ups sent me to clean up those lizardmen."
Because of the frequent battles, there is basically no possibility for the army in this world to relax.
Maybe their military discipline will be corrupted, and many people inside will fall into the evil camp, but the combat effectiveness will not drop too much.
Hanks is a stern man. After gathering his soldiers, he immediately asked Sauron to lead the way. Regular fighters are basically advanced professionals, and most of them have a fighter level above level three. Hanks in front of him is estimated to be able to reach level two, but will not exceed level three. As a soldier in the army, his equipment is better than many adventurers. Although he doesn't have any extraordinary equipment, a suit of armor is already better than many low-level extraordinary equipment.
After about an hour or two.
The group returned to the vicinity of the village. Hanks ordered the soldiers to take a rest, and then asked Sauron and the others beside him, "Can you kill their sentinels?"
Sauron and Yas nodded, and touched each other from the side.
The half-elf ranger took out his longbow, gestured to the right, and then quietly climbed up a tree. The range of the longbow was very far, and the sentry was mainly left to him to deal with. Sauron escaped into the shadows, sneaked along the grass, and took out the crossbow. What he needed to deal with were the two lizard men at the door.
The army remained hidden in the woods hundreds of meters away, and everyone was waiting quietly.
Suo Suo Suo!
There were several sounds of piercing through the air, and the half-elf ranger shot and killed the guard next to the alarm bell, while Sauron shot and killed the sentry near the gate with a crossbow.
"go ahead!"
When he saw the lizard man on the arrow tower fall, Hanks immediately put on his helmet, wrapped his whole body tightly, and said in a deep voice, "Wizard, break the door!"
The grey-robed wizard's expression was obviously dissatisfied, as if he didn't like this way of ordering.
But he still chanted the spell quickly, and then a stone golem weighing about half a ton appeared out of thin air. The stone golem stepped forward with heavy steps, and the White Horse City Guard behind him dispersed, holding their iron shields in front of them, and began to trot sprint. The group of people moved very fast. When they approached 150 meters in front of the gate of the village, the Baima city guards blocked the upper body with a shield that was one meter long and half a meter wide, and at the same time took out the light crossbow.
There was a panic in the village, and the lizardmen soon discovered the enemy's attack, and archers immediately climbed up the arrow tower.
Bang bang bang!
More than a dozen arrows were shot in succession, and the speed of the White Horse City Guards did not slow down at all, and the shield effectively blocked the enemy's attack.
The not-small stone golem didn't care about this level of damage at all. It walked in the front and slammed heavily towards the gate of the village. Accompanied by the loud rumbling sound, the wooden gate had not been supported for a minute before it was broken by the stone golem.
"Battle formation." Hanks raised the stainless steel shield, slowed down his pace, and shouted: "White horse tactics."
The 50-man guard was divided into ten small phalanxes. The three infantrymen raised their shields, drew their daggers and began to charge. The two soldiers behind them continued to fill their crossbows and shot at the lizardmen in front of them. Hanks raised his shield high, and launched a charge with a loud shout. Even though he was wearing armor all over, he could sprint at a speed of 100 meters. He rushed directly into the village, and smashed a lizardman warrior into the air with his face out.
The wizard stayed behind without any intention of doing anything, and even the stone golem stayed where it was.
The White Horse Guard quickly took down the gate of the village. After beheading three Lizardmen one after another, Hanks retreated back into the infantry phalanx, and immediately shouted: "Reform the formation."
Lizardmen fell one after another, and the white horse guards raised their shields and advanced steadily. The formation was strictly maintained as a small phalanx, and they did not pursue because of the panic and retreat of the enemy. The light infantry equipped with shields covered the two wings. While blocking with shields, they cooperated with daggers to assassinate. The soldiers in the rear kept shooting with crossbows. Hanks was also shot with several arrows, but it had no effect on his full body armor. He picked up the hand crossbow and shot back, then raised his shield to protect his head.
After the initial panic, the Lizardmen warriors had gathered.
The archers' damage to the enemies equipped with iron-inlaid leather armor and shields was greatly reduced, and the advanced lizardman warriors behind roared and rushed forward.
"Defensive formation." Hanks raised the stainless steel shield and roared, "Charge! Shield attack!"
The white horse guards on all sides began to assemble, and the light infantry also put down their crossbow arrows. They raised their shields and began to advance in a horizontal formation. When the distance was reduced to thirty meters, everyone let out a roar, and then rushed forward. Launch a charge. These warriors protected the front with their shields, and directly slammed into the lizard man who was rushing over.
bang bang bang!
A series of muffled sounds echoed, and the fighters covering the flanks began to shrink their formation, forming a shield formation with ten people in a row, and stabbed the enemy with short swords while coordinating to block the attack of the lizardmen. Lizardman warriors fell to the ground like they were cutting wheat, and the damage from the short sword was not enough to kill them. Many lizardmen were stabbed and knocked down. The shield warriors at the forefront were still advancing slowly, while the light infantry at the rear began to make up their swords, assassinating the enemies who hadn't completely expired.
The soldiers of the fifty-man phalanx were like a city wall, blocking the wave after wave of counterattacks of the Lizardmen.
There were already dozens of lizardman corpses on the ground, but the phalanx of fifty people remained unmoved. Although three or four people were injured and retreated, the formation still did not panic at all. Instead of chasing after the enemy's retreat, it was just like a wall, forcing the lizard man in front of him to a dead corner in the village bit by bit.
Sauron's figure walked around from the side, and the half-elf ranger quickly joined him. He pulled out the boning knife, glanced at the back and said: "The guards of the White Horse City have been training shields since the militia, and combined with daggers Assassination, the lizardman's level of attack can't break their phalanx. Let's go around from the side and find a way to kill the leader of the lizardmen."
drink!
There was a burst of shouting from behind, and fifty fighters roared at the same time, pausing every thirty steps forward, obviously only one-third of the opponent's number, but they forced hundreds of lizardmen to fight back bit by bit. step back. Any attacker who rushed over was either assassinated head-on or shot to death by crossbow arrows. After each attack, the shield phalanx didn't waver at all, only leaving more than a dozen corpses of lizardmen on the ground.
The number of archers is getting smaller and smaller, and the light infantry with iron-leather armor and helmet shields are playing against lizardman archers when shooting from the front.
"Handaxe!"
Probably driven madly, a very strong lizard warrior roared, and suddenly led more than a dozen of its kind to pounce from the side, trying to break through the infantry phalanx from the slightly weaker defense side. Hanks also let out a low growl, and took out a small hand axe from his back, which was less than twelve centimeters long. He turned it around in his hand, and threw it directly forward. In the infantry phalanx, there were also more than 20 well-trained soldiers who took out a hand ax from behind and threw it out.
bang bang bang!
The lizardman rushing over fell halfway to the ground, and the lizardman warrior who rushed to the front was hit by five throwing axes on the spot, and died without farting a single fart.
The morale of the Lizardmen finally collapsed, and some warriors had already started to flee in fear.
It has only been less than fifteen minutes since the frontal attack on the gate of the village, and the White Horse Guards advanced five hundred steps forward, killing more than one hundred Lizardmen, and only less than seven people were injured, and most of them were For being shot by an arrow. In the frontal attack, none of the enemies broke through their formation, and some stupid lizardmen jumped into the square formation, and were instantly assassinated before landing.
This is simply a massacre!
A ruthless massacre of a mob by a regular army.
