There are nearly a hundred patrolling personnel in the town as a small team, thirty barbarian berserkers, more than thirty half-orc shooters, twenty bear warriors, five or six werewolf scouts, and several ogres.
The barbarian berserkers are the main combat force, and ordinary patrols do not carry Yuanli weapons, because the main task of the patrol team is to disperse the forest bandits, so the barbarian berserkers' super lethality is enough to deal with most forest bandits. Ogres and bear warriors form the backbone of the combat force, while orc archers and wolf scouts are responsible for supporting operations.
This kind of team collocation is very scientific, can advance and retreat, can attack and defend, can track and counter-track, how could the whole army be wiped out? Each team wears several communicators, and it takes half an hour to report the situation to the headquarters. If there is an emergency, the headquarters can be notified immediately.
Now two patrols are attacked.
They all practiced and did not send out a distress signal!
When the headquarters found that the two teams did not report the situation on time, it was noticed and dispatched werewolf scouts to look for them. It turned out that they were all killed, and no one survived.
Chu Tian brought Yingying to the scene of the incident. There were corpses all over the ground, and the forest was stained red with blood. The scene was very tragic. Each berserker had at least ten arrows stuck in them, and some of them were completely shot into hedgehogs. No matter how strong the vitality is, it is impossible to survive such a ferocious attack.
It's too tragic.
How could such a thing happen under the nose
Meng Yingying's face turned pale: "Which bastard did it! Why did you kill our people without any vengeance!"
"We are investigating, but there are no traces of value for the time being." Nangong Yun led a group of soldiers to search in the forest, "It seems that our patrol team was attacked suddenly, and the attacker did not even leave a body behind. What an unusual thing!"
That's right.
so unusual!
"The patrol team has elite werewolves. Their noses can smell the smell of people from ten miles away. It stands to reason that it is impossible to be attacked." Meng Yingying rushed to be puzzled: "Even if we are attacked, our Oldman town It is impossible for our patrol team to be so vulnerable, could it be that the opponent has a master of the real spirit?"
"Not necessarily!" Nangong Yun said: "Look at the direction of the arrows. These arrows are shot while diving in the air. Although the werewolf's nose is very sensitive, if the enemy is an air cavalry and directly launches a surprise attack from the air, the werewolf will not be able to track it." trace."
Air cavalry
This is precisely the weakness of the Miracle Chamber of Commerce.
Meng Yingying still didn't seem to understand: "Why didn't we receive a distress signal?"
"Because it was too late to send it out." Nangong Yun pulled out an arrow, pointed to the black arrowhead and said, "The arrows are all coated with poison, even if bears, werewolves, and half-orcs are very brave, as long as they are shot by an arrow, they will be killed immediately." Lost the ability to resist. Berserkers and strong ogres can fight against narcotic toxins in front of them, but the number of opponents is obviously very large. Under a wave of attacks, few can stand up, so there is no time to use communication device."
Meng Yingying's black eyebrows condensed slightly: "It's so insidious, to use poison!"
The general patrol team did not wear heavy weapons such as storm rifles and individual elemental guns. Without sufficient firepower, they were suddenly attacked by enemies in the air, so they were wiped out without any resistance.
But why attack the Oldman town team for no reason
Is this a coincidence, or was it intentional
"Lord mayor, it's bad!" At this moment, a half-orc ran over in a panic, his ugly face was covered with sweat: "We have another army under attack. The town issued a distress call, the situation may not be good."
The faces of several people changed.
Chu Tian hurriedly asked: "The location!"
The half-orc hurriedly said, "About twenty miles east of the canyon in the forest, this time it was a guard that was attacked."
Patrols are not the same as convoys.
After the town of Oldman gradually developed, derivative businesses were opened one after another. For example, the aboriginal merchants in the forest bought a lot of materials in the town. They were afraid that they would be blocked and robbed as soon as they left the town of Oldman. After all, the town of Oldman is getting more and more prosperous. The jungle thieves know that there is a lot of oil and water nearby, and there are not a few people who are waiting for the rabbit.
Because of this, the town of Oldman established a large number of patrols, just to ensure the safety of the surrounding environment.
However, the patrol range of the patrol team is only in the canyon, and some forest native businessmen are still worried, because it is entirely possible for the forest robbers to ambush in the nearby forest and guard several canyon exits, so that they can still be caught.
Where there is demand, there is business opportunity!
The small town of Oldman has plenty of troops, and most of the time they are idle.
Meng Qingwu came to Oldman Town, in order to maximize the resources, she immediately developed the mercenary business here. She established a mercenary business department of the Miracle Chamber of Commerce in the town, mainly to undertake escort teams.
Merchant travelers are not at ease, they can hire troops and let the elite and powerful coalition forces escort them out of this area. The charges are determined according to the number of mercenaries. Generally speaking, it is still very affordable, so many native businessmen would rather spend more money than take risks.
This increases income and solves the worries of businessmen, which is beneficial to the long-term development of Oldman Town.
This time it was a guard that was attacked.
It was already too late when Chu Tian rushed over with his people.
The battle here seems to have just ended, and almost the entire army was wiped out. There were several seriously injured ogres and barbarians who survived because of their strong vitality, so they were barely rescued.
"A lot of arrows, a lot of arrows!" The barbarian opened his eyes and looked at everyone. His consciousness was already very blurred, so he could only say with difficulty: "There are bats, so many bats!"
bat
Chu Tian couldn't ask anything, so he waved his hand: "Send him back for treatment."
"Boss, I found something!" Nangong Yun shouted in the woods.
In the woods, she found some giant bats that had been shot by Yuanli guns, and there were more than one, all of which fell dead in the bushes.
Guards are different from patrols.
The guards will be equipped with light Yuanli weapons, so even against the cavalry in the sky, they have a certain ability to resist. These big bats that died in the woods must be the culprit of this attack.
Meng Yingying observed the bat carefully.
These bats grow really big, each one is fat and strong, with longer animal-like claws, but they are not intelligent business. Probably not far away there is a strong monster with green skin.
This creature looks a bit like a half-orc. It also has green skin, but there are many natural stripes on the skin. It is carrying a large number of poisoned arrows. The weapon is a long and big bow.
Chu Tian frowned and muttered to himself, "Forest troll?"
Forest trolls are a common forest race.
The troll has a high talent for refining medicine and is called a forest alchemist. However, the forest troll is greedy and likes to plunder others by nature. If the guards are not equipped with Yuanli weapons, they will hardly suffer casualties.
Chu Tian frowned and said: "Now it can be explained. The troll tamed the bat beast. Although the bat beast is a first-level monster, it is also relatively strong among the first-level monsters. It has strong explosive power at short and medium distances, and the bat beast has ultrasonic waves. Explore a large area of the forest, so you can lock the troops in the jungle from a long distance, so that you can launch a fierce attack in an unsuspecting situation with precision. Trolls are good at refining medicine, and if they attack with poison arrows, they can effectively disintegrate The combat effectiveness of our troops has increased."
Meng Yingying didn't understand even more.
Is the troll fed up
Why do such things for no reason!
When Chu Tian looked at the troll's body, he found a strange tattoo, which looked like a skull with a sword stuck in it.
"What sign is this?"
Every troll has a similar tattoo on their body.
It made Chu Tian feel a little strange, which might help to track down the other party's identity, so he asked a few half-orcs to come over and take a look, maybe these natives could recognize them.
who knows.
When the orcs saw the tattoo, they immediately trembled like sifting chaff.
"I... I know!" A half-orc said with horror on his face: "This is a troll predator! It's over, we are being targeted by predators, this time it's completely over! The town can't keep this time!"
"Damn, what nonsense are you talking about?" Nangong rushed forward and slapped her face, "You can't fucking keep it! If you dare to talk nonsense, believe it or not, I'll beat you to death!"
"Nangong!" Chu Tian stopped Nangong, he felt that the matter was not simple, "What's the matter with the predator?"
Nangong Yun's ferocious appearance frightened the half-orc, so he had no choice but to confess honestly.
Not all the natives in the chaotic forest settled in villages, tribes or towns. In fact, many races were wandering races, among which the trolls were a very famous wandering race.
The Marauders are a very well-known organization among the trolls.
They swarm like locusts, and nothing grows in their path.
Marauder marks are skull tattoos, and a large number of bat beasts are domesticated. Because the bat monster has a strong ultrasonic detection ability, the predators can easily find the aborigines hidden in the dense forests and even inconspicuous corners. These predators rely on this method to plunder for a living.
The predators are crazy, and the big forces in the deep forest dare to snatch it!
Because the trolls have no fixed living place at all, every time they provoke powerful natives and hunt them down, they immediately disperse, no matter how powerful the natives are, they can't do anything about them.
As soon as the wind dies down, the predators gather again. In short, they are a very difficult group of guys, so no matter who is targeted by the predators, they are doomed to be unlucky.
The patrols and guards attacking the town now are just to give Oldman a little color. After all, the town of Oldman is an underground town, and it is not easy for the trolls to invade. They can only use this method to put pressure on the town first, and plunder some supplies by the way.
Meng Yingying was very dissatisfied with the trembling orcs: "If they dare to appear again, we will kill them all! What is there to be afraid of?"
"You...you don't know, the scale of the predators is very large!" The half-orcs were still trembling: "They act strangely, there is no way to predict them, no one can locate them, even a large tribe is daunting, we... not enough people Yes! I think that after the marauder demonstration is over, they will come to make demands soon. It is better to give them what they need than to be wiped out... "
Nangong Yun was furious and wanted to go up and beat him.
Chu Tian grabbed her back: "Nangong, don't be impulsive, this is an extraordinary period, we must calm down the situation."
The wealth of Oldman town will obviously attract greedy locusts.
However, Chu Tian never thought that he would attract such a difficult opponent.
It is estimated that the news that the guards were attacked this time will spread in the small town of Oldman. I am afraid that many aborigines who live and do business in the small town of Oldman will be afraid of it, and even have the idea of fleeing.
Worse.
The large indigenous tribes did not dare to offend these looters, and they might withdraw from Oldman Town under the threat of the looters, or even simply compromise with the looters. Then, this newly established small town will definitely be full of vitality because of this.
Chutian can't let anything happen!
This small town is just the first step in the development of the Miracle Chamber of Commerce in the chaotic forest. If you can't even do the first step, how can you implement the next plan
