If there are too many battle reductions, it will be a very big trouble for Dane. Insufficient manpower means that Comilla's development progress will be delayed; it means that when further threats come, he will lack sufficient strength to deal with them. What's more, these people are his brothers! Because they believed in him, they followed him from the mainland to this ghostly place. How could he make the people who trusted him, those eyes full of hope, become dead silent
He doesn't want a miserable victory, what he wants is a big victory. He wanted to wipe out all the Faceless Men who dared to enter his sphere of influence, but he never wanted his casualties to exceed thirty.
That's right, the goal Dane set for himself was to wipe out more than 200 Faceless Men and more than 100 black-skinned hairless hyenas while keeping the casualties below 30!
…
An hour and a half after the news of the faceless men's army coming out, Dane saw Golobo's return from a distance.
Seeing the embarrassment of this half-orc, Dane knew that this reckless guy must have overestimated himself and fought against the Faceless Man.
Sure enough, as Dane expected, the first thing Golobo said to Dane after being let in by the wooden fence door was: "Boss, I'm sorry..."
"I don't want to hear your apology. I just want to know that all my brothers have returned. Can you give me an affirmative answer?"
Dane's tone was very calm, but Golobo has been with Dane for so long, how can he not know his temper? If Dane was swearing, it basically meant that he was in a good mood; if Dane spoke calmly and looked expressionless like now, it meant that he was really angry.
"I'm sorry, boss..." Golobo almost lowered his head to his crotch, "We lost four brothers... It's all my fault, if it wasn't for my command error, I wouldn't have been bitten by those hyenas, They won't die either..."
"Oh..." Dane sighed, and said, "When will you be able to calm down?"
The big battle is coming, and the wounded Golobo made Dane not want to say anything more. He waved his hand and continued: "Don't stand here to block your eyes, take your people to the back for me to have a good rest, and wait until the battle is tight at the front line, you still have to be my reserve team."
Golobo nodded fiercely, and said: "When you need it, just shout, and I will rush over if I risk my life."
Dane scolded: "Why do I want you to die? There's so much nonsense, go and rest."
After blasting Golobo away, Dane looked at the west with a solemn face, thinking about the follow-up battle in his mind.
"Don't worry too much, we will win this battle." A muffled voice sounded next to Dane's ear. He didn't need to look, he knew that it was the ancient war tree Osengari.
A smile appeared on the corner of Dane's mouth, and said, "Are you more confident than me?"
The ancient tree of war said as a matter of course: "I have lived for countless years and participated in countless battles. Of course I can see this. Those worshipers of evil gods are not our opponents. Don't worry. These mercenaries under your command , although the chances of organization are not very good, and they have not undergone any strict tactical training, but I can see that they are all veterans who have been killed in the bloody battlefield. The large corps may be immature in combat, but this battle of a hundred people should be just right for them. This is where such mercenaries come into play."
Dane nodded, agreeing with the ancient tree of war. In half a month of contact, he has seen more than once how rich the knowledge of war is in the 'head' of this old tree. No wonder, he can train sentries without any instructors.
However, his brows still did not relax. He was waiting for the reinforcements from Oriento, and was always hoping that they would arrive sooner.
…
However, the army of the Faceless Men was the first to arrive at Ghost Knife Port.
Standing on the sentry tower built of wood, Dane saw the Faceless Men from a distance. Most of his attention was drawn to a Faceless Man riding a monstrously large black hyena. No need to think about it, this guy must be the leader of the group of faceless men mentioned in the information. From his body, Dane felt quite a strong aura. No matter how you look at it, this guy is not easy to deal with.
But Dane still showed a smile. After hearing and seeing countless bad news in a row, he finally got a little bit of comforting information: this leader of the Faceless Ones, although he may not be easy to deal with in terms of personal strength, he is obviously not a Qualified military leader.
This army of faceless men and black-skinned hyenas is a mixed army. The overall organization is in a mess, and there is no smooth team at all. This is not good news, what is good news
The Faceless Men stopped a few tens of meters outside the wooden gate of Ghost Knife Port, and the leader riding a black hyena came to the front of the team. Of course, he definitely didn't want to have a pre-battle exchange with Dane. I saw him yelling at the faceless men behind him, which seemed more like boosting morale.
A small smile played on Dane's mouth: these stupid, brainless guys. He squinted his eyes, and slightly calculated the distance between the two sides, which was no more than sixty meters at most. With a move in his heart, he looked at the leader of the Faceless Men who was boosting the morale of his men, and was about to give that guy a shot.
"Derlin, after a while, as soon as I wave my hand, you shoot an arrow at that arrogant guy. It's only sixty meters, I believe you won't miss it, right?" Dane said softly to his subordinates beside him.
Delin grinned and said: "Of course not! These faceless men are really stupid, they actually stopped at a position of 60 meters... It's a pity that we only have 20 or 30 archers, otherwise, we would definitely shoot them all over their faces." flowering!"
"This group of guys probably don't have any real experience in fighting humans. They may not even know that we have long-range attack weapons in our hands." Dane laughed. Then, he raised his hand high.
He looked at those faceless people who still hadn't woken up, and suddenly waved his hand down with a smirk!
Immediately, Delin next to him yelled: "Fire the arrow!" Then, he first let go of the fully drawn bowstring in his hand, and the arrow suddenly shot towards the leader of the Faceless One.
Delin can be regarded as an excellent shooter, at a distance of 60 meters, shooting at a fixed target, it is impossible to get him hard. The feathered arrow pierced the faceless man's shoulder, and the huge force almost knocked him off the back of the hyena.
The faceless man turned his head and roared angrily at the curtain wall of Ghost Knife Port, but what greeted him was another wave of arrow rain consisting of more than twenty arrows!
