V1.Chapter 77

Day three.

The army officially entered the wilderness area, the scouts that were scattered brought back a lot of news, and the scattered adventurers also gained more or less. Some time ago, many caravans were attacked and looted, and those belongings fell into the hands of wild creatures. After a battle, they were seized as trophies. Sauron killed some enemies one after another, and the killing experience gained accumulated to 3,000 points, but the two of them didn't get much Kindler.

"There is a village in front of me." Sauron looked at the gradually familiar road, and said to the half-elf ranger next to him: "I passed by here some time ago, and I was attacked by the lizardmen. I don't know if they have migrated, but now It should have become a gathering place for the Lizardmen."

If there is no migration, I am afraid that everyone in that village will die, right?

He made a gesture to Yas who was beside him, and then the two of them stooped and walked along the grass. There was a small river next to the village, and the lizardmen liked to be close to places with water sources. When they could see the wooden fence of the village from a distance, the half-elf ranger took out a cylinder from his pocket and spun it, then placed it in front of him to observe the front.

Monocular?

Sauron stopped, waiting for the other side to observe the result.

"It looks like it has been occupied by the lizardmen." Yas handed the monocular to Sauron beside him, and said casually, "A gadget made by alchemy, 10 Kindlers each."

Glass is a relatively common thing, but pure glass is very troublesome to make.

The binoculars are gadgets that belong to alchemy products. If there is no blessing of spell runes, then the value is about 10 Jindler. If some special effects are added, the price may be as high as hundreds of Kindlers. Sauron picked up the binoculars and observed it, and easily saw the figure of the lizardman guard on the tower. The village has been destroyed a lot, and the lizardmen have built many simple huts on the burned houses.

"A lot!" Sauron put down the telescope and handed it back to Yas. He said solemnly, "The two of us probably won't be able to eat it, so let's go back and submit the information."

The half-elf ranger nodded, put away the binoculars and walked back.

Wilderness adventures must have at least a 50% chance of winning. A seasoned adventurer like him will not easily try too difficult challenges. After all, there is only one life, and it is useless to win if a person dies and becomes disabled. . If you walk too much at night, you will always encounter ghosts. Too risky behavior will kill yourself sooner or later. You can't run corpses here, and you lack arms and legs in battle, and you have to pay a high price to recover.

The two quickly touched the back and handed over the information in front of them.

Soon, a big man who looked like an officer came to them. He was wearing a full-body armor, holding a steel shield in his hand, equipped with a refined long sword, leather gloves, steel bracers and a hand crossbow. Behind him is a team of fifty-man White Horse City Guards, uniformly equipped with iron-inlaid leather armor, iron shields, short swords and light crossbows. There are fewer archers in White Horse City, but there are a lot of crossbowmen, and all light infantry can be used as crossbowmen.

In addition, he also brought a gray-robed wizard, whose professional rank cannot be seen, but it should be above the second rank.

"Captain of the 37th Infantry Regiment of the White Horse City Guard, Hanks." The bearded man nodded towards Sauron and said solemnly, "I was sent from above to clean up those lizardmen."

Because the battle is very frequent, the army of this world basically has no possibility of slackening.

Maybe their military discipline will be corrupted, and many people inside will fall into the evil camp, but their combat effectiveness will not drop too much.

Hanks was a man who acted resolutely. After gathering his soldiers, he immediately asked Sauron to lead the way. Regular fighters are basically advanced professionals, and most of them have a warrior level above the third level. Hanks in front of him is estimated to be able to reach the second level, but it will not exceed the third level. As a soldier in the army, his equipment is better than many adventurers. Although there is no extraordinary equipment, his armor is better than many low-level extraordinary equipment.

After about an hour or two.

The group returned to the vicinity of the village. Hanks ordered the soldiers to rest for a while, and then turned to Sauron and others on the side and said, "Can you kill their sentinels?"

Sauron and Yas nodded and touched each other from the side.

The half-elf ranger took out the longbow, made a gesture to the right, and then quietly climbed up a tree. The longbow's range was very long, and the sentinel was mainly left to him to solve it. Sauron escaped into the shadows, sneaked along the grass, and took out the strong crossbow. He needed to deal with the two lizardmen at the door.

The army remained hidden in the woods hundreds of meters away, and everyone was waiting quietly.

Shoutout!

There were several bursts of air, and the half-elf ranger shot and killed the guards beside the alarm bell, while Sauron used a strong crossbow to kill the sentry near the gate.

"go ahead!"

When he saw the Lizardman on the arrow tower fall, Hanks immediately put on his helmet, his whole body was tightly wrapped, and said solemnly: "Wizard. Break the door!"

The gray-robed wizard's expression was obviously dissatisfied, and he didn't seem to like this way of ordering.

But he still chanted the spell quickly, and then a stone golem with a weight of about half a ton appeared out of nowhere. The stone golem marched forward with heavy steps, and the white horse city guards behind him dispersed, held the iron shield in front of him, and began to trot. sprinting. The group moved very fast. When they approached the front of the village gate 150 meters, the White Horse City Guard blocked the upper body with a shield that was one meter long and half a meter wide, and at the same time took out the light crossbow.

There was a panic in the village, and the lizardmen quickly discovered the enemy's attack, and immediately an archer climbed up the arrow tower.

Bang bang bang!

More than a dozen arrows were fired in succession, and the speed of the White Horse City Guard did not slow down at all, and the shield effectively blocked the enemy's attack.

The sizeable stone golem didn't care about this level of damage at all, walked directly in the front and smashed heavily towards the gate of the village. With the loud rumbling sound, the wooden gate was broken by the stone golem before it could hold for a minute.

"Battle formation." Hanks raised the steel shield, slowed down a bit, and shouted: "White Horse Tactics."

The fifty-man guard was divided into ten small phalanxes. The three infantrymen raised their shields, drew their daggers and began to charge. The two soldiers at the rear continued to load their crossbow arrows and shoot at the lizardmen in front of them. Hanks held up his shield and charged with a loud bang. Even if he was wearing armor, he could sprint at a speed of 100 meters. He rushed directly into the village and smashed a lizardman warrior head-on. out.

The wizard had no intention of leaving behind to do anything, and even the stone golem stayed where it was.

The White Horse Guards quickly took down the gate. After Hanks beheaded three lizardmen one after another, he returned to the infantry phalanx, and then shouted: "Reform the formation."

Lizardmen fell one after another, and the White Horse Guards raised their shields and pushed forward steadily. The formation strictly maintained a small square, and they did not pursue because of the panic and retreat of the enemy. Light infantry equipped with shields covered the two wings. While blocking with shields, they stabbed with short swords. The soldiers in the rear kept shooting with crossbows. Occasionally, some people were hit by arrows and were quickly dragged to the rear by their comrades. Hanks was also hit by several arrows, but it had no effect on his full body armor. He picked up the hand crossbow and shot back, then raised his shield to cover his head.

After the initial panic, the warriors of the lizardmen have gathered.

The archer's lethality to these enemies who were equipped with iron armor and shields was greatly reduced, and the advanced lizardmen warriors at the rear rushed up with a roar.

"Defensive formation." Hanks raised the steel shield and roared: "Charge! Shield strike!"

The white horse guards on all sides began to gather, and the light infantry also put down their crossbow bolts. They raised their shields and began to advance in a horizontal formation. When the distance was reduced to 30 meters, everyone let out a roar, and then slammed forward. Launch a charge. These warriors protected the front with their shields, and slammed into the lizardmen who rushed over.

Bang bang bang!

A series of muffled sounds echoed, and the warriors covering the flanks began to shrink their formations, forming a shield formation in a row of ten people. When they cooperated to block the attack of the lizardmen, they stabbed the enemy with short swords. The warriors of the lizardmen fell to the ground like reaping wheat. The damage of the short sword was not enough to kill. Many lizardmen were stabbed and fell down. The shield warriors in the forefront were still advancing slowly, and the light infantry in the rear began to make up for their swords, stabbing the enemy who had not completely died.

The soldiers of the fifty-man phalanx were like a city wall, blocking the wave after wave of the Lizardmen's counterattacks.

There were already dozens of lizardmen corpses on the ground, but the 50-person phalanx still stood still. Although three or four people were injured and retreated, the formation was still not flustered at all. They did not retreat because of the enemy's onslaught. Not chasing because of the enemy's retreat, but just like a wall, pushing the lizardmen in front of him to the blind spot in the village little by little.

Sauron's figure circled around from the side, and the half-elf rangers quickly joined him. He pulled out his boning knife, glanced at the back and said, "The guards of White Horse City have been training shields to block since the militia, and cooperate with short swords. Assassination, the Lizardmen can't break their phalanx with this level of attack. Let's go around from the side and find a way to kill the leader of the Lizardmen."

drink!

There was a loud shout from the rear, and the fifty warriors roared at the same time. Every thirty steps forward, they would pause. Although the number was only one-third of the opponent, it forced hundreds of lizardmen bit by bit. back. Any attacker who rushed over was either stabbed in the front or shot to death by a crossbow arrow. After each attack, the shield phalanx did not waver in the slightest, only more than a dozen lizardmen corpses were left on the ground.

The number of archers is dwindling, and light infantry with iron and leather armor and helmets and shields play the Lizardman Archer when shooting from the front.

"Hand axe!"

Perhaps being forced to go mad, a very strong lizardman warrior roared, and suddenly led more than a dozen of its kind to rush over from the side, trying to break the infantry phalanx from the slightly weaker side. Hanks also let out a low growl, and took out a small hand axe from his lower waist, only less than twelve centimeters long, he turned it around in his hand, and threw it straight ahead. In the infantry phalanx, there were also more than 20 well-trained fighters, who took out an axe from behind and threw it out.

Bang bang bang!

The lizardmen who rushed over fell directly halfway to the ground, and the lizardmen warrior at the front was hit by five flying axes on the spot, and died without farting.

The morale of the Lizardmen finally collapsed, and some of the warriors had begun to flee in fear.

It has been less than fifteen minutes since the frontal attack on the gate, and the White Horse Guard advanced five hundred steps forward, killing more than one hundred lizardmen, and only less than seven of them were injured, and most of them were Because of being shot by an arrow. In the frontal attack, not a single enemy broke their formation, and some stupid lizardmen jumped into the square and were instantly assassinated before they landed.

This is absolutely a massacre!

A ruthless slaughter of the rabble by a regular army.
