This is where the fight gets tough. It is not difficult to kill the faceless men and hyenas who are climbing over the wooden wall, but after all, the mercenaries in charge of defending the wooden wall are not enough to cover every place, so many fish slipped through the net, Successfully turned over from the wooden wall.

These monsters that climbed over the wooden wall became the biggest source of trouble for the horror mercenaries. In the beginning, it was not too bad. When there were not many monsters that jumped over, the mercenaries could allocate a part of their hands to deal with them. But when more and more monsters poured in, the situation became a bit uneasy.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Dane quickly yelled: "Hold on!"

His words were not a simple encouragement, at the same time, he also directly inspired the heroic characteristics of primary fury. Immediately, around him, the mercenaries who had received the effect of primary fury became more brave and skilled in fighting, and fearless of injuries. After they were attacked and injured, due to the effect of the fury effect, not only would they not reduce their combat effectiveness, but instead they would be aroused to aggression deep in their hearts.

In addition, Dane himself took the mobile team and kept rushing towards the place with the most enemies. He himself was always on the front line of the battle, and with the constant waving of the Ghost Knife, one monster after another fell into his hands. In addition to exerting his personal bravery to the extreme, he also used the magic ability that he has been reluctant to use.

The killing effect of the angry missile is not good. Although a single angry missile can always seriously injure a monster, it is only a single damage effect after all, and it has little effect on a large number of enemies. Since his mana is determined by the perception attribute and the strength attribute, it is not a lot, but if it is all used to launch angry missiles, the effect is still not satisfactory.

After Dane used Rage Missile once or twice, he didn't plan to continue using it. This thing, when used in duels, is used as a sudden means to create fighters is quite a good thing, but it is obviously not suitable for the current situation.

So, faced with such a situation, he began to use more of another spell he possessed: intimidation.

Although the intimidation technique doesn't have direct damage like the angry missile, the actual effect of using it in battle is unexpectedly good. After Dane's intimidation technique was released, the range it covered was not small. Once released, it could cover three or four monsters.

After those monsters were affected by the effect of the spell, they wouldn't be so frightened that they turned their heads and ran away, but you must know that on the battlefield, those who die the fastest are often those who are afraid. Because there is fear in the heart, it is inevitable that they will show cowardice. After the originally fierce monster becomes weak, it will naturally become easy to deal with.

After releasing two or three intimidation techniques in a row, the pressure on the battlefield itself quickly stabilized. After Dane's spells do not pursue quick kills, the auxiliary effect is also very good.

But this kind of stability is only temporary. When more and more monsters climbed over the wall, the scattered battle situation allowed those monsters to give full play to their advantages in single combat power. Let their numerical advantage be very obvious in the siege.

Within Dane's line of sight, he had already seen several mercenaries in a row. When he had no time to rescue them, he was besieged by more than three enemies, and he couldn't hold on and was killed.

At this moment, Dane has realized that although the situation has stabilized, it is still turning bad. This also forced him to make a decision: "All the staff give up the wooden wall and gather around me!"

He made such a choice, it is really a last resort. When the wooden wall was no longer able to provide protection for the horror mercenaries, Dane could no longer allow his men to fight on their own. The number of enemies is larger, and the individual strength is stronger. The advantage in a chaotic battle is obviously much stronger than that of human mercenaries. If you continue to fight like this, not to mention blocking these faceless men, even your own army may be wiped out!

Dane's decision was still very decisive. Before the situation really deteriorated, he avoided excessive casualties of the horror mercenary group after the battle started.

After hearing his order, the mercenaries began to approach him one after another. Dane, on the other hand, deliberately led the team towards Osengari's direction. This ancient war tree has almost become their biggest support now.

With Dane at the center, the mercenaries standing near Osengari got out of the melee after forming a group, and the speed of loss was greatly reduced. With Osengari at his side as a barrier, the mercenaries could finally breathe a sigh of relief and take a little rest.

Growling, Osengari punched and kicked several monsters that were trying to attack. The deterrent force brought by his huge body is quite strong enough. Under his protection, even the faceless man, who has always been ferocious and brave, can't help but feel frightened, dare not rush up easily, and can only surround him Do not attack.

The two sides began a confrontation.

Dane was dressed roughly, with streaks of bluish-purple marks on his body, and some bitten wounds that were still bleeding. In the battle just now, he personally went to the front line, and he charged the fiercest one. Only the hyenas and faceless men he killed with his own hands, there are probably six or seven in total, and he himself has more or less endured it. some attacks.

The situation in front of him was quite dire, and his team hardly even dared to leave Osengari's protective circle. Once out, a mercenary has to face at least three to four monsters at the same time, and there is almost no chance of winning.

However, what was even worse was that those faceless men were still putting pressure on the mercenaries. They were quite clever while surrounding and not attacking, and at the same time they used the faster-moving hairless hyenas to lure Osengari's attention in front, while continuously attacking the mercenaries from the side and rear.

Even though the mercenaries were very careful to notice the actions of these hyenas, and the first time those hyenas rushed up, they would have a blade in front of them and kill these beasts immediately, but there were still some omissions. , Once bitten, it is easy to be dragged away. And the end of being dragged away is undoubtedly torn to pieces by a large group of hyenas and faceless men!

Dane gritted his teeth bitterly. The number of Faceless Men's army is too large. If you want to turn defeat into victory with only the strength at hand, it is basically tantamount to nonsense. It is quite enough to be able to continue to maintain the confrontation. Not bad, even breaking through is a luxury, let alone wipe out the enemy.

But he will never give up his will to fight. He has not forgotten that he has a more important team that can make a final decision, and he is on the way to support him!
