"Hold on, don't panic, the herd of magic cows is coming, aim at the first few and lure them over... OK, launch!" With a wave of Lorist's hand, the three steel crossbows made three beeps. "Boom, boom, boom!" There was a loud noise, and three arrow shadows swept across a distance of nearly 300 meters, and pierced the target's body.
The blood flashed, and the pitiful screams of the demon cow shook the whole field. Hei Yaya's tide of monsters suddenly stopped, and a group of monster cows beside the fallen two monster cows were looking for where the enemy was...
"Turn on, keep firing."
With the launch of the second round of crossbow arrows, the chaotic herd of magic cattle finally found the stone wall on the hillside and the few ants on it that attacked them.
"Moo..." With an angry howl, the herd of magic cows began to attack the small stone wall on the hillside. Soon, the snow-covered hillside was covered by the herd of magic cows.
It's just that after these "puchipuchi" panting heavily and red-eyed magic cows rushed up the hillside, they discovered that the stone wall seen below the hillside was not built on the top of the hillside, but in the middle of the other side of the hillside. Stone walls, but a long box-frame structure. But these demonic cows have forgotten those provocative ants in their simple minds, and all the demonic cows who climbed to the top of the hill were attracted by a large piece of bright red cloth hanging under the square frame...
On the snowy field with heavy snowfall, that piece of bright red cloth is like a ball of dancing flames, which is so eye-catching...
"Moo, moo! Moo..." The angry cow's cry kept ringing, everyone who knows a little about the magic cow knows a common sense, don't let the magic cow notice that you have bright red on your body, because it will cause arousal. The madness of the demonic cow will chase you endlessly...
The herd of demonic cows on the hillside moved. They lowered their heads and showed their curved and sharp horns, and rushed towards the bright red cloth with a thunderous momentum. It's a pity that these magic cows didn't notice it. The closer they rushed to the red cloth, the more the ground on the hillside sloped down. When these magic cows rushed past under the red cloth, the distance between them and the red cloth was less The difference is two meters.
The magic cows rushing over raised their heads, and found another piece of red cloth waving in the wind in front of them. Without saying anything, the magic cows continued to lower their heads and rush forward.
This herd of demonic cattle with 20,000 to 30,000 heads deviated from the direction of the tide of demonic beasts under the guidance of pieces of red cloth. The group of demonic cows had been exhausted for a long time, and their eyes had returned to clarity, but they could no longer turn their heads. On both sides were snow walls and cliffs as high as six or seven meters, and behind them were densely packed companions. , they have no other way to go...
When the eyes suddenly became clear, the magic cows found that they were in an open and large canyon, surrounded by cliffs more than ten feet high. For the magic cows, they didn't realize that they had fallen into a dead end. They just sprinted down a dozen miles away, just in time to rest here, and eat some grass roots, lichens and moss to replenish their strength. So groups of magic cows wandered around leisurely in this canyon, digging out some grass roots from under the snow from time to time and chewing them a few times.
This is the Isthmus of Crewe Circle in the territory of the Norton family. The entire isthmus is like a child naughty digging a large circular hole in the flat ground. The Isthmus of the Krewe Circle is not a dead end, there are several gaps on one side of the isthmus, and you can leave the isthmus gradually upwards. But for the magic cow, these gaps are the road of no return.
A few magic cows turned back and forth in these upward gaps, and finally stepped on the ground. But what greeted them was the sound of "boom boom boom" steel crossbow firing, and these demon cows were struck by lightning, and died in an instant.
"Hurry up and pull away the corpses of these demonic cows, and there are a few more demonic cows coming up from behind, everyone prepare..." Dolles stood in a chariot in high spirits and gave an order. These roads leading from the isthmus to the ground The gap is his battlefield, as long as the magic cow comes up, he can only die under his steel crossbow.
A few family soldiers came up, and skillfully tied the corpses of the magic cows on the ground with ropes, and then waved their hands. As soon as the horses in front exerted their strength, these corpses of magic cows weighing more than a thousand catties slid briskly on the snow. In a large open space in the distance, the weather was very cold anyway, and the carcasses of these magic cows were frozen hard in the wind and snow, and they were placed in rows. Someone will pick up the spoils when they are free.
"Bang" the frame was shaking violently, snow and ice splashed everywhere, and the blue-eyed bison that hit the base on the left side of the frame shook its huge head. After waking up, he yelled "moo moo moo" and stepped back, ready to bump again.
"My day!" Lorist on the square frame grabbed a steel crossbow and took aim, killing the blue-eyed bison before it hit the base of the square frame again.
The square where Lorist and the others were located was 12 meters long and 8 meters high. In order to prevent the magic cow from hitting the base madly, Lorist deliberately cut down the area of the red cloth hanging in the middle, leaving a distance of 4 meters on both sides. It is to attract the attention of the magic cow to pass through the middle, and will not be interested in the bases on both sides.
But just now, the blue-eyed bison somehow competed with the base on the left, and after hitting it once, it had to continue hitting. There is no other way but to kill it under the arrow, otherwise, if the base is damaged and the whole box collapses, it will be a lot of fun. Fortunately, when Lorist shot just now, he didn't attract the attention of those buffaloes that were coming towards the red cloth. The continuous herd of buffaloes was still rushing past the box...
"After the herd of blue-eyed bison pass by, let's go down, get some snow from the nearby hillside, and ask the camp over there to boil some water. We'll reinforce the two bases of the square frame and freeze them completely. The paralyzed man let out a cry just now. I'm in a cold sweat..." Lorist said.
"Me too..." Al replied, leaning against the side parapet.
In order to deal with the wave of monsters sweeping the family territory this winter, Lorist almost mobilized all the power of the family.
First of all, Lorist planned to lure the large population of magic cows out of the wave of monsters, and pull these populations of magic cows to the Isthmus of the Crewe Circle. If there are less than 100,000 large-scale magic cows in the tide of monsters, then the remaining monster sheep, deer, horses and the like will be easy to deal with.
Lorist's heart is not greedy, if the number of monsters this winter is close to one million, Lorist only wants to keep half of them, plus the raid on Fengleyuan in spring, then he can go back to the barbaric plain There are at most 300,000 to 400,000 monsters left. As long as this continues for three years, I believe that the tide of monsters will disappear in the family territory, and it will no longer become a serious problem for the family.
In order to achieve this goal, all family knights and family armed forces have undergone repeated drills. All the central towns and settlement villages from the second district to the seventh district have complete defensive facilities. As the five central towns from the second district to the sixth district that must pass through the tide of monsters, there are already five golden knights from the family. Sitting in the town personally, and will seize the opportunity when the tide of monsters passes by to let some monsters with low combat effectiveness such as magic sheep and deer into the city, so that the tide of monsters will become a carnival for hunting in the city.
In Beiye Town, the central town of District 7, the tide of monsters will not arrive here, so you don't need to be too nervous, just be on normal alert.
Beast Familiar Town, the central town of the sixth district, was named by Lorist himself after he dealt with the tide of monsters here last year. Now the Chief Golden Knight Baldfinger sits in charge.
The central town of the fifth district has not yet been named. The golden knight who sits in this town is Rose, who Lorist called the tiger.
The central town of the fourth district also doesn't have a town name, and it's inhabited by a silver-haired Belunek.
The central town of the third district is in charge of the golden mercenary Zeno Farea.
The central town of the second district is the former military judge of the White Lions of the Krissen Empire, known as Mons Malek the Iron Face, who has just been promoted to the Golden Knight. After the northbound convoy returned to the family territory, he was given a big leave by Lorist. After more than a year of training, he was finally promoted to the golden rank and became the sixth golden knight under Lorist.
Everyone is gearing up, full of confidence, eagerly waiting for the arrival of the winter wave of monsters. And Lorist brought the golden archer Josk, the commander of the guard battalion El and others to ambush on this small hillside. What they carried out was the most difficult first step, to lure the demonic cow population in the tide of demonic beasts. To the Isthmus of the Circle of Crewe…
"This is the third group of magic cows, how many are there?" Pat asked.
"50,000 to 60,000 heads, I guess there should be so many." El replied.
Lorist said: "Almost, after the herd of bison, we will go to the camp over there to rest for a while, change shifts, and let Josk lead people to take turns. When we stay for a while, remember to drag the dead cow below to the camp. Stayed on it for the past two days and ate dry food, just in time for the Teeth Ceremony."
"Yes, my lord."
The temporary camp arranged is not far from the hillside here, just across a small hill. The camp is arranged there mainly because there is a small pool on the top of the hill over there, which is convenient for getting water. But when Lorist and the ten or so people passed by, they found that the camp was raging with nearly a hundred winter wolves besieging the camp. It's just that they suffered heavy losses under the shooting of Josk's magic arrow and the four steel crossbows in the camp. There were winter wolf corpses here and there on the snow.
It was almost the end when Lorist arrived, and the remaining 30 or so winter wolves found Lorist and the others and shifted their targets. corpse.
The temporary camp was not big, surrounded by a four- to five-meter-high wooden fence, with four wooden sentry towers at the four corners, on which a steel crossbow was placed.
Josk smiled bitterly and said, "My lord, we seem to have neglected the carnivorous monster populations that accompanied the tide of monsters in search of hunting opportunities. Fortunately, there were only a hundred or so winter wolves besieging the camp this time. We have some of the big wolves."
In the temporary camp there were only about a hundred masters selected from the guard camp, and the family knights were only Josk, El, Pat and Jim. Fortunately, it was snowing heavily during this time, so Lorist had to order everyone to work together. It took three days to build a five-meter-high snow wall all over the camp, and splashing water to freeze it into an ice wall gave the camp enough defense. After that, he continued to lead people to the opposite hillside, climbed above the box and began to lure and divert those large populations of magic cows.
After another ten days, Lorist and Josk took turns luring and diverting seven large populations of magic cows on the square frame, estimated to be more than 100,000 heads, and the wave of monsters has also passed, and the rest are all It is a carnivorous monster race. Lorist and the others were trapped in the temporary camp for nearly seven days. They dealt with the attacks of several packs of demonic wolves and leopards. After inflicting heavy casualties on these demonic beasts, they forced them to give up their attack on the camp before leaving for the Isthmus of Crewe .
At this time, the Isthmus of the Krewe Circle has become a large-scale cattle slaughter center, and the number of magic cows coming up from the gap in the isthmus has reached thousands of head per day from the initial hundred. The chariot corps commanded by Dolles has now become a link in the automated slaughter line. The magic bull comes up from the gap, and before it can stand still, it shoots two arrows. Circle, trap the bull's head and drag it away, the second magic bull comes up and repeats...
The corpses of magic cows in the open space next to it are piled up like a mountain. Rows of corpses of magic cows that are frozen to death are piled up seven or eight stories high. The open space is constantly expanding, and piles of corpses of magic cows will soon appear on the open space. . Doles has sent an urgent message to the Rock Castle, requesting that thousands of troops be sent over to carry the corpse of the demon cow.
The land around the gap in the isthmus has been stained red by the blood of the magic cows, but with the increase in the population and number of magic cows in the isthmus, the magic cows that have not eaten or drank must find a way out of this round isthmus, except from the isthmus. In addition to going up this road through the gap, there are countless magic cows turning their heads and preparing to go back from the straight road they came from.
There are only more than 400 steel crossbows above the gap, while Doles' chariot corps is full of 2,500 steel crossbows. Lorist had already arranged more than 1,800 steel crossbows to ambush on both sides of the straight road, and all the magic cows walking back were attacked by the arrows like a torrential rain in the second half of the straight road. The piles of cow carcasses piled up on the slope, and the blood of the magic cow flowed into a stream on the straight road...
Throughout the winter, the chariot corps newly formed by Dolles braved severe dangers to fight against the population of magic cattle that fell into the trap of the Isthmus of the Crewe Circle. It took more than two months to wipe out all the 170,000 magic cattle. Everyone was exhausted, and more than 2,400 steel crossbows were scrapped due to high-frequency use.
When the last small group of magic cows fell on the clearing of the isthmus, Dolles sat down on the chariot and said to Lorist who was accompanying him: "My lord, I don't want to shoot cows anymore in this life. See I'm so sick of these cows."
With the arrival of spring and the retreat of the wave of monsters, good news came one after another. First, the town of Familiar Beast, the central town of the sixth district, was the first area to experience the tide of monsters. Thanks to the introduction of Lorist and others * To lure away the demonic cow population in the tide of demonic beasts, Bodfinger, who sits in Yushou Town, boldly opened the city gate a dozen times, allowing more than 200,000 demonic goats, antelopes, deer and other demonic beasts with low combat effectiveness to enter the city , making Royal Beast Town the town with the most meat harvest in this wave of Warcraft. The subsequent large-scale production of lamb rib circle traps enabled Yushou Town to harvest the corpses of thousands of carnivorous monsters that won the bid after the tide of monsters receded.
Then the five central towns from the fifth district to the second district also had their own gains. Adding up the statistics, it was found that the population of small and medium-sized herbivorous monsters in the tide of monsters was almost depleted, and more than a million monsters could finally return to the barbaric plains less than 300,000.
Lorist was overjoyed. In just two years, the wave of monsters would disappear in the family territory, and finally he could farm with peace of mind and carry out various major developments.
Patting Dolles on the shoulder, Lorist said: "Okay, it's time to go, Jost's archer battalion escorts your chariot regiment to sweep up the monsters stranded in Fengleyuan, Tiger Ross' armored cavalry also Waiting for your arrival in the third area. This time there may be a herd of magic cows left in Fengleyuan, but more of them are carnivorous monsters. You should pay attention to safety. After you complete the mission and come back, I promise new ones Steel crossbows are already waiting to be equipped with you."
"Yes, my lord." Dolles stood at attention and saluted.
