Dane glanced over. During the battle just now, almost ten of his subordinates lost their lives. Excluding the retreating shooter troops under the leadership of De Lin, there are only about sixty mercenaries standing beside Dane. In such a short period of time, there are probably twenty or thirty faceless men and hyenas killed by them.
The enemy's losses were undoubtedly great. After two battles, the faceless army's downsizing has even reached about a quarter. But now, when the wooden wall of Ghost Knife Port has been breached, the advantage has already been held by the opponent.
Trapped in place by the enemy, they could only rely on Osengari's deterrence, which prevented them from rushing forward in a big way, thus temporarily balancing the situation. Before the arrival of reinforcements from Aurianadu, Dane must work hard to maintain this situation and ensure that his troops will not be severely hit, otherwise... the victory will only be a tragic victory.
The hyenas were constantly cruising around them, and they would let out a deep growl from time to time, all of which put a lot of mental pressure on the horror mercenaries.
Dane looked at the situation and said, "I'm here to stand on the front line. You guys stay by me and Osengari and be careful of those hyenas!"
What he meant by this was that he was ready to bear all the pressure in one direction alone. Of course he has the ability to do this, and the three hyenas that died in his hands in a short time are proof, but he is still a flesh and blood body, and the intimidation technique thrown earlier to stabilize the battle situation has also left him with little mana. Few, if those faceless men continue to attack him crazily, he probably won't be able to hold on for too long.
Fortunately, they haven't done so yet. Among them, it is inseparable from Dane's brutal record. From the beginning of the battle to the present, more than 20 hyenas and faceless men have died in his hands. If you break through from him, you have to ask if these monsters are brave enough to face his long knife. He will always be the sharpest blade, enough to kill anyone who dares to come near him, until he is utterly fatigued and unable to hold on.
The sound of 'Puff, puff, puff...' sounded, it was the footsteps of the hairless hyena's hooves on the ground, looking in the direction of the sound, I saw the monsters surrounding them separated automatically , gave way to a road, and the leader of the Faceless Men riding on a huge hairless hyena walked out of it.
His head without eyes was directly facing Dane, and the tentacles moved automatically without wind. He, who had no mouth, made hoarse roars like bugs, but much louder than bugs.
It should be some kind of language that Dane can't understand. The language itself seems to be full of chaos and evil. Even if it can't understand, it will make people who hear it feel as disgusted as if they smell the smell of ****. What angered Dane the most was that he could hear some contempt from the roar of the faceless man.
It was all a feeling, but it annoyed Dane. He looked at the leader of the Faceless Men who was showing off his power in front of him as if he had become a winner, and he felt an urge to rush up and chop him up.
He forcibly endured the impulse. The leader of the Faceless One was also a little disappointed to see that Dane was not provoked by his provocation.
He seemed impatient and decided to end the fight.
The leader of the Faceless One let out a roar, and after that, all the monsters under his command began to press forward slowly.
Obviously, he meant to launch a full-scale attack!
Dane clenched the weapon in his hand, he no longer expected the reinforcements from Auriana, he had to put all his energy into the battle in front of him. This is the time to fight to the death, and there is no room for him to be careless. Perhaps, in a desperate battle, relying on Osengari, he still has a slight chance of winning. As for casualties... He didn't even dare to think about it. The outcome is hard to predict, even if it is won, I am afraid it will be a tragic victory with unknown casualties.
This was somewhat inconsistent with his early expectations, but who knew that the enemy would come so quickly and violently
The enemy was pressing forward step by step, and all the mercenaries, encouraged by Dane, made up their minds to fight desperately. No one will run away, and no one will surrender. This is not because of how strong the fighting will of the horror ghost mercenaries is, but because they are facing the faceless monster. In the heart of the monster, is there still the concept of surrender and not killing
Surrender is death, and escape is impossible because you are besieged. So besides fighting to the death, is there any other option? Since it's a death anyway, why don't you pull a few more backs before you die!
"Roar!" The leader of the Faceless One let out a second roar, and after that, all the monsters rushed up frantically!
Osengari's huge body played a huge role as the first line of defense for the mercenaries. Four or five faceless men and the same number of hyenas surrounded him, constantly attacking the body of the ancient tree of war, but it seemed like it was scratching its head, and it was basically difficult to achieve any effect. Whether it's the hyena's teeth or the Faceless Man's powerful tentacles, at most it can leave some marks on its vigorous bark. But as soon as the Ancient War Tree raised its hand or stepped its legs, at least one monster was crushed to pieces. If it wasn't for his low attack frequency, perhaps, relying on it alone, he would be able to kill all the Faceless Men on the field.
But no matter how powerful Osengari is, what he can protect is only his side. Except for some monsters haunting him, more monsters participated in the siege of the mercenaries.
"Tighten the distance! Don't disperse! Keep the formation!" Dane kept giving orders. Although the battle situation was very difficult, his mind was not broken yet. He deeply knows that if he wants to last longer and minimize casualties, he must rely on the strength of the formation.
His decision-making was quite effective. The tight formation of the mercenaries reduced the contact surface with the Faceless Men's army, making it impossible for the Faceless Men to exert their maximum force at the same time. Moreover, with the huge Osengari at their backs, what they need to face is only enemies on both sides. Such a decision has effectively reduced the pressure they face.
The crushing battle expected by the leader of the Faceless Ones was unexpectedly dragged into a war of attrition under the command of Dane! Moreover, due to the existence of the ancient war tree and Dane, the loss ratio of both sides has been high. In the whole dynamic battle situation, the faceless people often have to pay four or five, five or six, or even more lives to find a seriously injured servant. The chance of soldiers, let alone kills.
