The lizardman has been completely beaten.
They are now like the human villagers who were first attacked. The soldiers in the village were massacred one by one, and the remaining old and weak women and children howled in panic. There were also lizardmen who had aroused their animal nature and rushed over regardless, but were shot and killed by a crossbow before they got close. These white horse guards are all well-trained regular troops. Maybe their professional level is not very high, and they are not opponents of adventurers of the same level alone, but once they form a long-term trained battle formation, their strength will begin to increase exponentially.
It is conservatively estimated that fighters with a blocking skill of more than 100 points use shields and daggers to defend and counterattack, and advance bit by bit along the village. There is no trace of compassion. Just like when the lizardmen first attacked, they would not have the slightest sympathy for human women and children. The killing of the same kind may spare the old and weak children, but there is no soft-heartedness in inter-racial wars.
If these lizardmen children are not killed, they will grow up with hatred. If those women and children are not killed, they will give birth to more children.
The collision between ethnic groups is the competition for living space. Human beings in this world are far from being as powerful as imagined, and they still retain the original tradition in dealing with alien creatures, that is, to kill them as much as possible, until they are no longer dead. Dare to get close to the gathering places of human beings, and when they attack ordinary people, they will think of the consequences of the ethnic group being retaliated.
Otherwise, it would be difficult for the villages on the outskirts of Baima City to exist for a long time, and other monsters would come to fight the autumn wind from time to time.
After all, human beings are the most intelligent creatures in the world who can cultivate food!
…
Sauron and Yas detoured behind the village.
Surprisingly, the leader of the lizardmen was not found. Sauron suddenly remembered that the druid he had killed was the patriarch of this group of lizardmen, right
This is very possible, because the caster's status is quite high.
If the fallen druid wither is the patriarch, this group of lizardmen probably hasn't elected a new leader for the time being, because if there is no powerful spellcaster to suppress them, the lizardmen will go through a competition of the same kind, Only then will the strongest and wisest one inherit the position of leader.
"Here!" Yas's search skills seemed to be very high. Although there was no leader to let them sneak attack, they found the leader's house.
Sauron followed in quietly, and cut the throat of a lizard man with a machete. They found a box in the room, which was filled with coins of various values, and some emerald jewels, etc. Things are loot from the lizardmen attacking other creatures. They rarely have channels to spend these things, so they often store them, and occasionally some bold merchants will trade with them, if they are not afraid of being swallowed directly with their belts and bones.
Yas opened the box and took a look, then quietly gestured towards Sauron behind him, and said in a deep voice, "One half for one."
Sauron nodded and took out the things, and the two quickly divided up the spoils and put the treasures into their dimensional bags. This battle was led by the white horse guards, and they didn't take all of them. They just divided up the most valuable things in the future, and then randomly took some less valuable things and put them in. Adventurers are naturally more greedy, they will share the most valuable gems with Kindler equally, and then leave a little of Jindler, plus some messy things.
If the white horse guards clean up the battlefield later, at most they will think that this group of lizardmen are relatively poor.
Anyway, there are other places where you can find some valuables. Both of them got a lot of good things. Although there were no extraordinary items, each of them got three to five hundred Jindelers equally. It may be because they shared the dirty things together, the two of them smiled similarly after taking the things, and both of them felt a little closer.
They turned back from the other side, and pretended to start hunting the lizardmen, but they didn't join the frontal battle.
Sauron cleaned up the lizardmen to gain killing experience, and at the same time observed the fighting style of the white horse guards. Half of them mastered the specialty of defensive fighters [Based on defense and attack], which is a relatively advanced defensive counterattack skill. While using shields to block, cooperate with medium weapons to carry out assassination counterattacks. If you have trained the skills of [Advanced Defense and Attack], you can also use long weapons to counterattack, such as the captain Hanks who is wearing armor all over.
Sauron shot and killed the scattered lizardmen one by one. Ordinary lizardmen don't have much killing experience. Adults only have about a hundred points, and old and weak women and children only have less than thirty or fifty points. However, he didn't show any mercy. Back then, these lizardmen slaughtered human women, children and children in front of him. Now how could he feel pity for these monsters? In just a short while, more than a dozen of them died under his hands. The battle ahead was almost over, and some lizardmen surrendered out of desperation, but the white horse guards had no intention of capturing the captives, and just pierced their hearts with their daggers.
Near the seaside, some places where arenas are popular will need such captive slaves, but there is no such tradition in Baima City, and the treatment of foreign captives is more direct killing. Whitehorse City is considered to be a relatively ancient human city, and it has been able to maintain itself until now surrounded by various races, and many important traditions have been maintained.
It took less than half an hour to defeat the lizardman, but it took a long time to clear the battlefield.
Although most of the advanced fighters of the Lizardmen were killed, many escaped successfully. There were more than 200 Lizardmen corpses on the ground, and about one-third of the Lizardmen escaped from the village. After such a painful lesson, they will not be able to recover within at least three to five years, and even if there is an attack in the future, it will only be a small-scale sneak attack.
"Captain!" A white horse guard kicked open the door and shouted, "There is a barn here!"
Hanks pulled out the blood-stained long sword, walked over to take a look and said, "It should be the human village that was attacked recently. These guys migrated to the wilderness to avoid taxes, but they lost their lives here."
"How stupid!"
Apparently he already thought that the original villagers were slaughtered by the lizardmen, and had even entered their stomachs.
Because there is still a lot of grain in the barn, if it is transferred in advance, it is impossible to leave so much grain. It seems that after Sauron left, those villagers either moved urgently, or were killed by the lizardmen. He felt that the first possibility was higher. They probably wouldn't stay after being attacked, perhaps because they were too hasty to take everything with them when they left. If that was the case, the Lizardmen made a second attack before they left.
That night, the lizardman was scared off by the spell, and still retained most of his true strength.
Looking at the corpses on the ground, one can tell that these lizardmen still have at least one or two hundred fighters who can fight.
There were scattered sounds of killing all around.
The white horse guards scattered and cleaned the battlefield in teams of three, mainly to avoid surprise attacks. Their combat tradition is to leave one person for cover.
The wizard didn't know when he had put away the stone golem. The energy consumed by this kind of alchemy golem was astonishing, and it wasn't that it was rarely used as a regular combat force in the wizard tower. If the movement of the army burns money, then the movement of the golem burns gems. Their operation rule is the equivalent exchange of alchemy. Because some advanced mana energy skills are lost, the golem is stationary most of the time. state.
Soldiers found loot from all over the place, and according to the hidden rules of the army, they deducted half of these loot in private, and then handed in half to reward them after the end. Hanks allocated a share of the spoils to Sauron, Yas and the gray-robed wizard, and none of the three refused, so they naturally accepted it. Then the odds and ends are distributed, and each soldier has a fair income, which is regarded as the spoils of war outside of their military salary.
A row of data appeared before Sauron's eyes:
"The battle is over."
"You improve your craft in battle!... You learn some tricks from other people's fights!..."
"Block +5, Parry +1."
"You have a little understanding of the combat specialty [Defense and Attack]!..."
…
Actually got the hint of combat expertise
Sauron was stunned for a moment in surprise. [Defense to Attack] Although it is a relatively basic defense specialty, it shouldn't be so easy to get the prompt.
Is it because Bo Wen has memorized it
Sauron tried to recall, and found that he really remembered the defensive and counterattack skills of those fighters.
[Defense and attack] is a relatively basic specialty, which can be trained by conventional methods. Its function is to defend and counterattack. With the help of parry and block moments, it deflects the opponent's attack in a way similar to using force to unload force. Then counterattack at the same time. This feat has a pre-requirement for parry and block. If you don't have parry and block with more than 100 points, you can't train it even if you get the information prompt. Because even if you memorize this fighting technique, you can't comprehend it without the corresponding ability to block and parry.
A similar specialty is [Double Weapon Defense], which has higher requirements for parry, requiring more than 150 parry skills.
"There is no time to practice parrying now, we can only wait for a chance to train in the future." Sauron looked at the others, nodded towards Yas who was not far away, and the two started to go back as if nothing had happened.
Tomorrow, it is estimated that we will be able to get close to the ogre's territory.
The battle on the plain is the key. Only when these ogres are expelled can the commercial roads of Baima City be opened.
Head-on decisive battle.
These adventurers also have to cover the army to fight.
