Warlord

Chapter 971: Village attack and defense

Views:

The cavalry made a gesture, and the infantry fighters dispersed immediately. The cavalry took out the Asak's unique gun, and pressed a thorn into the chamber. This is a typical defensive formation, and the fan-shaped array allows infantry fighters to deal with enemies coming from any direction in front. The cavalry behind will provide long-range support, and when necessary, infantry fighters will sacrifice themselves to entangle the enemy, allowing the most mobile cavalry to escape in order to bring out the intelligence.

The Twilight Forest is still quiet, the sky light at dusk gradually recedes to the last light, and the night descends on the forest. The patrol team did not use any lighting, and at this time, the bright light is easy to attract attack. It was impossible for them to retreat at this time, their responsibilities required them to find out the identity of the murderer, so the team continued to advance into the forest.

Behind a piece of uneven woodland, the sound of water can be faintly heard. A stream passes through the forest. The trees on both sides of the stream are sparse, and there is a rolling grassland on each side. On the other side of the stream is the village of the Huya clan. This clan is small in number, but every adult Huya is an excellent hunter in the forest. The corpse that the team found before was the Huya. After seeing a hunter turned into prey, the team had given up hope for the Huya.

After all, the corpse was less than 1 kilometer away from the village. At this distance, it is impossible for the Huya people to be unaware of the killing of their tribe. Then there may be only one left, and the Huya people are finished.

The forest was very quiet, and the tremendous pressure made the soldiers' palms sweat. At last they came to the edge of the woodland beside the stream. The cavalry gestured with his hand, and the squad stopped. Hiding in the woods and looking to the other side, you can see the outline of the Huya village under the night. It is dark now, there is no light in the village, and it is eerily quiet.

Suddenly a soldier pointed forward, and there was a corpse lying by the stream. The corpse fell to the ground, with its hands stretched forward, as if struggling to crawl forward. That should be the Huya who escaped from the village, but unfortunately he died nearby. At this time, two black shadows came to the side of the corpse, and they stretched out their hands and dragged each leg of the corpse into the village. One of the black images sensed something, and suddenly raised its head to look in the direction of the team.

The cavalry has good night vision, and through the reddish sky light on the grass. He could see clearly that they were two monsters. It has a huge head and a humanoid body, covered with pitch-black nail leaves, and a row of bone spurs extending from the back of the head to the end of the tail glows fishy. Intuition tells the Cavaliers that these guys are dangerous.

The other fighters also saw the appearance of the monster one after another, and everyone was extremely nervous. This was a creature that had never appeared in the Twilight Forest. The quiet village, the corpses of the Huya people, and the weird and dangerous creatures all show that the black land welcomes new invaders.

The message must be passed back.

The knight gestured for the team to retreat. If the entire Huya village can be killed silently, the number and strength of the invaders will not be much worse, at least not a patrol team can deal with it. The knight's judgment was undoubtedly correct, but unfortunately he still underestimated the ability of the invaders. Just as they were about to retreat, something climbed down from the ancient tree above them.

At this time, it was the Knight's Warg who felt the sharpest. The big wolf sniffed a few times, then suddenly raised his head and let out a screech towards the dim treetops above. The knight's face changed, and he shouted: "Be careful, the enemy is above!"

The sound of breaking the air.

A series of black shadows jumped down from the tree trunk, and an infantry fighter was thrown down. In his busy schedule, he saw clearly that it was the dark monster that dragged away the body of the Huya people on the other side of the stream. The soldier let out a low growl, and pierced the monster's waist with the long knife sideways. When the monster's long tail curled up, it stuck the saber. A few sparks sparked out from the blade and tail, and the monster's tail was actually covered with black armor.

When the soldier marched, the monster had already bit off his throat.

As soon as the battle started, the forest patrol team showed a one-sided trend. The infantry fighters of the Asak tribe were no match for this monster at all, and suddenly, the four fighters were thrown to the ground and killed, or the monster tore them apart. The cavalry barely shot an arrow, forcing back the monster that fell from its head. Taking the opportunity to swallow the wolf's belly, the giant wolf ran away with him.

The three monsters chased after them, using both hands and feet, galloping through the woods like wild beasts, and their speed was not slower than that of a warg. What's even more frightening is that whether it's fighting or chasing, these monsters are eerily quiet, like cold machines.

The cavalry rolls over on the warg so that it faces backwards. Shooting with an arrow, one after another steel thorns are fired like arrows. The special gun made by the Asaks is astonishingly powerful, and the steel ridges discovered are enough to pierce the trunk of a century-old tree. Almost all wolf cavalry are good at cavalry and archery, even when the wolf is galloping, it does not affect the cavalry's shooting accuracy in the slightest.

The monster behind dodged a few shots from the steel edge, but one of the arrows was shot in the chest, and was sent flying by the huge impact of the steel edge. Flying a distance of more than one meter in mid-air, he was unable to move when he fell. The steel ridge was right at its core.

There are still two monsters.

In the hot pursuit, the two monsters suddenly bounced up and hugged their heads in mid-air. The long tail is stretched and rolled to the forehead, and then turned quickly after being connected end to end, forming a wheel with bony spurs on the periphery. The spinners whirled, increasing in speed as they skimmed the ground. It bounced up when passing a low slope, and staggered towards the wolf cavalry. The cavalry dodged one, but was hit by the second spur, and fell from the worg.

A cloud of blood sprayed in the air, but it was the cavalry's thick back that plowed a blood groove for the monster's bone spurs.

The knight bounced up immediately when it landed, and the warg turned back suddenly, roaring and pounced on one of the monsters.

"Go, Sen!" the knight yelled.

Each wolf is raised by cavalry, which is a way for the Asak people to train giant wolves. The giant wolf trained in this way will have a deep bond with the knight. To the cavalry, the giant wolf is not as simple as a mount. Sometimes the relationship between the two is more like a partner or even a relative.

For the first time, the giant wolf named Sen defied the order of the knight and rushed straight at a monster. The monster's spur wheel spun to meet it, and the giant wolf bounced away. The spur wheel rotated a few times on its body, and the giant wolf was disembowelled. The knight looked very angry, but there was still a monster staring at him.

There were small voices in the woods, and the knight leaned on the trunk of an old tree and looked around. At some point, more black shadows appeared in the forest. They were so densely packed that they looked like a black wave that was about to drown the Twilight Forest. The knight took a deep breath, and took out a special arrow from the back of his waist: "Come on, bastards."

The two monsters rushed towards the cavalry at the same time. The knight did not shoot the arrow in his hand, but poured his own energy into the arrow. The arrow suddenly burst into a crimson light, and the next moment, there was an explosion in the forest. The flames of the explosion sprayed tens of meters into the sky, revealing the forest sea. In the dark, it can be seen no matter how far away it is.

The sentry tower of the Asak village easily saw the flames, and immediately a soldier reported the situation to the patriarch Gao Ge. After a while, Goge stood on one of the sentry towers. As far as the eye could see, the fire in the forest was gradually extinguishing. Goge thought for a while, then said in a deep voice, "Notify all teams to come back."

Falcons were released, and they brought Gogg's message. The forest patrol team that received the message withdrew from the patrol area and returned to the village in the dark. But when counting the number of people, Gao Ge found that some of the teams did not return, and there were several explosions in the forest. All kinds of visions made Gao Ge feel heavy, and the wolf cavalry let him out to act as a scout, patrolling the woodland around the village. Even so, a sense of uneasiness still lingered in the patriarch's heart.

Gogg came to the altar of the village, and there were fires flickering on both sides of the altar. The dim light shone on the priest's wrinkled face, outlining many shadows. The priest seemed preoccupied, and when Goge came behind him, the priest whispered, "Something terrible is about to happen, Goge."

"Did you get any hints from your ancestors?"

"Communicating the souls of the ancestors is also deceiving those ignorant little devils. You are already past that age, aren't you?"

Gao Ge sat down and said with a wry smile: "Sometimes I would rather be that little devil who is in awe of the souls of my ancestors."

"Awe doesn't have to come from ghosts like ghosts, it should come from the heart, my patriarch." The priest turned and said, "Although I don't have the ability to communicate with souls, I don't have the power like you. It's not useless, at least it's useful here."

Pointing to his own head, the priest said: "Patriarch, maybe you should consider evacuating the clansmen who are incapable of fighting. Let me guess, we have lost more than ten patrol teams, haven't we? This has already shown that, The forest is no longer friendly, and many places are no longer under our control. I always feel that there is a big net surrounding us."

"Before this net wraps us tightly like a bird in a trap, Patriarch, you should consider my previous proposal. Before it is too late."

Gao Ge nodded and said: "I see, priest. You should also prepare and leave with everyone."

The Asak village became lively, and old people, women and children began to evacuate the village one after another. Goge asked his son Dima to lead the team, and led 20 wolf knights and 200 infantry fighters to protect the tribe and leave. They will bypass the poisonous mountains and enter the sacred mountain area through the thorn forest. Goge released two falcons at the same time, and one of them would fly to the Amanda village to inform Ba Jindai to pick up his people. The other flew directly to the holy temple and informed the holy temple of the migration of the Asaks and the situation in the Twilight Forest.

After finishing all this, Goge picked up his half-human-high gun and sat cross-legged on the ground facing the village gate. Gao Ge will never leave the village for half a step until the clansmen have safely withdrawn. It is the responsibility of the patriarch to protect the clansmen.

Under the moonlight, the Kuroshio is approaching the village like an undercurrent in the sea. Gao Ge could feel that the breath in the air was becoming more and more oppressive. Finally, a group of wolf cavalry returned to the village. The leader of the team was Abe who was the first to challenge Zero that day. Abe turned from under the wolf to the ground, stepped forward and said, "Patriarch, here we come."

"how many people?"

"A lot, and those things are monsters." Abe corrected.

Goge stood up and said loudly: "Whether it's a blood knight or a monster, we Asaks have never backed down. Warriors, take up your swords, we must block these damn things here, let our The tribe can leave safely."

All the Asaks raised their guns or swords and roared loudly.

"Ready to fight." Gaoge carried a gun in his hand and strode towards a sentry tower.

All the watchtowers built inside the high walls of the village were already crowded with warriors, most of whom had sharp machetes in their hands. Only elite wolf riders can use the powerful weapon. All the steel ribs used for guns were moved out of the warehouse, and a bag of ten was placed under the feet of each wolf rider. More infantry fighters gathered behind the gate, and they lifted the huge stake that the two embraced, and leaned against the gate to resist the enemy's impact.

Goge calmly pressed a steel edge into the gun's chamber, and he looked at the grass outside the village. The torches erected on all sides illuminated the grassland outside the village in fiery red. In the red light, it was faintly visible that there were surging black shadows in the woods on the other side of the grassland.

*Aiming in the direction of the forest, Goge's voice echoed in the ears of every Asak: "Don't rush to attack, warriors of Asak. You must make sure that every shot of yours can hit the enemy , After all, we are not richer than the Amandas, and our ammunition is limited. But we are not lacking in courage, let these bastards know that they picked the wrong opponent!"

The patriarch's words gradually calmed down the nervous fighters, and Gao Ge inspired their courage even more. Everyone felt that a fire was burning in their bodies. The flames will light the darkness, and the warriors of the Asaks are fearless!

The enemy is coming!

A guard jumped out from the forest first, and while his body was still leaping in the air, a steel edge seemed to appear out of thin air. Suddenly it flashed in front of its eyes, and it was nailed heavily into its head. The guard flew backwards into the woods, and then there was a sharp piercing sound in the air.

Gao Ge shook the phone in his hand and said loudly, "Look, they're not that scary either."

The patriarch's one-shot power greatly encouraged the Asak people. Next, guards one after another jumped out of the forest, and the distance between the forest and the village was 300 meters. These 300 meters have become the territory of the God of Death. Asak's wolf knights shot out steel ridges with lightning, and each thorn must hit a guard. The destructive power of the steel ridge is enough to pierce the steel plate within 300 meters, and it is no problem to blast through the weak armor of the guard.

The guards were shot almost as soon as they got out of the woods, and the furthest among them was only about 100 meters away. However, with the increase in the number of guards, the death peak line formed by the Asak crossbows is moving towards the village, and the black waves pouring out of the forest are endless, and the continuous stream of guards is daunting .

Even Gogg was nervous, the number of intruders exceeded his estimate.

Another arrow strung together the two guards and nailed them to death. Goge cursed secretly: "Damn it, where did these ghosts come from?"

The corpses of the guards were gradually approaching the high wall of the village. If only relying on the wolf knights, they would be able to approach the high wall in only 5 minutes. More importantly, during this period of time, the Asaks' steel prisms will shoot into the air. Fortunately, after the last Albert incident, the Asaks had already made sufficient preparations to prevent the same attack.

At Gogg's order, foot fighters pushed some barrels over. Each barrel is half the height of a person and filled with explosives made by the Asaks. There was a fuze left outside the explosive barrel. After the soldiers ignited the fuse, they pushed the explosive barrel out of the opened side door of the village. The wooden barrel rolled towards the guard, and after rolling out about a hundred meters, the fuse burned out and the explosive exploded.

Several balls of fire rose outside the village, and the violent shock wave knocked most of the guards into the air. The power of the explosion covered a space with a radius of 20 meters. Although it is a homemade explosive, its power is not weak at all. The guards at the core of the explosion were directly blown to pieces, and the guards at the edge were also killed and injured by the shock wave of the explosion. After five or six explosive barrels exploded, the forwards of the guards fell to the ground. Occasionally, a lucky guy passed through the explosion point and greeted by the wolf cavalry.

"It tastes good, you bastards!" Goge roared, and then he yelled at the wolf riders: "Boys, greet them with bursting arrows!"

Burst arrows are special gunpowder-filled arrows with a fuze on the end. When ignited, the fuse burns through the arrow's hollow tube and into the arrowhead. Finally, light the gunpowder filled in the arrow, and you will find a violent explosion. At the same time, the explosion causes the arrow to scatter a round of fragments, dealing more damage.

Under the double attack of bursting arrows and explosive barrels, explosions continued outside the village, and the guards left corpses one after another. The latecomers changed their attack patterns, and they joined each other end to end, like wheels spinning. Advance at a faster speed to evade the attacks of the Asaks. Seeing the flywheels pass through the flames one after another and hit the gate and the high wall heavily, Gao Ge knew that he could no longer kill the monsters as easily as before.

The patriarch roared and jumped off the sentry tower with his gun in hand. Gaoge landed on the ground with both feet, causing a shock wave and sending several guards into the air. Using four hands together, he nailed two of the monsters together at a very close distance with a gun, and then pulled out the steel edge as a spear, plunged into a guard in the air, knocked it to the ground, and nailed it to death on the ground.

Gao Ge roared: "Boys, it's time to go all out."

The side door of the village opened, and infantry fighters poured out from both sides, facing the guards who kept rushing out of the curtain of fire. As soon as it touched it, it collided with bloody waves!

From the sky, there is not only one fire in the Twilight Forest. Apart from the Asak village, there are sporadic fires in other places in the forest. The guards from the coastline are being divided into several groups to invade the black land at the same time, but the number of guards assigned to the Asaks is a bit larger.
