Vol 3 Chapter 218

Episode 218 The Battle on the River Bank (2)

Scouts in the forest crossed the river, and news about all aspects of Palas's army came back. Brando's young mage servant, Char, was now wearing a robe and holding a staff standing on the sentry tower, while looking far north, and then turned back and said, "The downsizing is more serious than expected. The war damage rates are more than 40% to 50%. These are experienced veterans. Within three days, we lost at least 50 people and three times more wounded. "

At the end, he also added: "If I am Lord Lord, then I will just roll over and run."

"So you're not Lord Lord." The elf princess in silver armor glanced at him and replied indifferently. Wearing a pointed helmet unique to the Silver Elf, Meditha wrapped her small face in her lips, her lips clenched tightly, and she looked heroic.

"Is there any conspiracy to clean up our scouts?"

"Maybe not, simply because Palas knew we had cavemen. He didn't want to be attacked on the flank during the fight. He didn't want to repeat the same mistakes of Sir Mintai," Matissa replied.

"It's really hard to deal with." Shire shook his head, and his frown was almost frowning: "I don't know if it can be dragged on for three days."

Let Denell's army have arrived--

"Someone in the forest!"

The first reflections appeared in the forest, and a knight in armour appeared in the forest across the river. Later, more troops appeared behind him. The knight severely inserted the flagpole in his hand into the soft soil of the riverbank under his feet, and a heraldic flag with a azure background unfolded against the wind.

Retriever family emblem of Palas.

"To the north, to the east ...!"

"many."

There were thousands of soldiers in the forest wearing red and blue shirts. "They are going to siege?" Shire saw an archer shooting an arrow far away towards the Gris River. The arrow fell about fifty steps from the earth wall on the river beach, and looked back. Road.

Metisha shook her head, the other side was measuring the distance. They may attack once tentatively, but they should observe for a while before that.

As the youngest princess of the silver elves, Meditha did not experience much warfare compared to other races. The atmosphere before the war did not make her nervous, but there was a familiar kind, but there were too few enemies.

There are too few enemies, and the silver elf girl shook her head.

Meditha was not wrong. At this moment, on a small hill a kilometer away, Pallas stood on horseback like a sharp sword. The knight surrounded by Grudin's most trusted family member surrounded him. He pressed his hilt on his sword, and his eyes were as sharp as a hawk gliding over the river bank in the sunken eyes.

Palas is the oldest of all the family members in Grudin. Although they have a personal relationship with Sir Mintai, the two are far apart. Sir Mintai is in his prime, but Palas is already two years old. gray. The old knight can be said to have experienced hundreds of battles. Although his fame did not reach such distances as Ampelsel and Butch, he is a role that can stop children from crying among the barbarian mountain people of Tonigel.

The Gris River ferry is just around the corner, and Pallas has been here once or twice before. He remembered that the opposite bank of the river was a flat meadow, but the scenery he saw now made him suspect that he was old-fashioned-the lush forest completely covered the ferry, and only the shoals extending from the woods on the other bank to the estuary proved that they were not wrong This season is the season when the Gris River is at its lowest level, and even infantry can cross the icy river from the shallows of the Gris Ferry. Fortifications seem to have been built in the forest in the distance, and the sentry towers lined with canopies can prove this-just when there was a forest here, Pallas remembered that he came here last time just two or three years ago, but The forest on the other side does not look like it can grow in two or three years.

These towering ancient trees need at least two or three people to hold each other, up to more than ten meters, let alone two or three years, it may not be able to grow like this in two or three decades.

"There is a fortress across the river, and the sentry said that he saw an earthen wall. This forest at least shows that the rumors that the Druids are serving the rebels are true." An adjutant next to Palas said.

"Druid has a way to make the forest like this in a short period of time? Are these illusions or trees transplanted from elsewhere?" Pallas saw the forest in front of him, which was clearly a primitive forest. Defensive is not easy to attack. It would be incredible if the Druid had this ability; even if this forest was transplanted from other places, it would not be easy to plant it in a short time. Although he has not seen magic, most wizards cast spells that are fleeting. Although powerful, they are not unacceptable.

But this forest is right in front of them, and the area stretches for at least ten miles, and it really appears in front of them. Neither illusion nor illusion.

The knights around him were silent, Druid is a mysterious group, and no one can say what they will do. Even in most legends, even if the druids cast spells, they say two things, one saying that the druids are good at domesticating animals and fighting for them, and the other saying that the druids will become powerful. Animals fight as if they were beasts.

However, Palas quickly called in the army's mage to explain the problem to them. The older wizard was surprised when he heard that the forest in front of him appeared out of thin air. Druids can accelerate plants. Grow, but definitely not so powerful.

The opposite side can create such a large forest in a short period of time, or it means that the number of druids owned by the other party is amazing. Or it means that the druids who work for the opponent are at least of the level of the druid master of the ring of sky. Master Druid is almost the same as the mage leader of the Silver Alliance. To say that there is such a person under Brando, Pallas does not believe it, so he asks: "If you want to build such a forest in a few months, you need How many druids? "

"A few months!" The wizard screamed, and almost walked away without turning around. "A few months can build such a forest, at least thousands of people must cast it together."

"Thousands? It's impossible. There aren't thousands of rebels in total," a knight countered.

"That means that there is a master druid in the opponent's hand, or a ring composed of thirty druids. The ring is a unit used by the druids, and a ring composed of thirty druids. No less inferior to a real army, "the wizard replied gloomily.

"That's not right. The other party needs to be so strong. They are still sitting here waiting to die?"

"Isn't this forest an illusion?" Pallas interrupted the dispute and asked with his little magic knowledge. The wizard actually thought of it, but before he could say anything, the admiral shook his head.

"Our soldiers have tried it, at least all of the foregoing are true."

"Ten miles along the river, it's not easy to just do the front." After listening, the wizard shook his head.

"Can you attack with fire?" Someone asked.

"The other party has so many druids that they can be easily extinguished even with a fire attack. Don't forget, they are the guardians of the forest and are far more skilled at dealing with fire than you." The wizard replied.

"Anyway, try it anyway," Pallas made a calm decision: "Get the soldiers ready for the rocket and make a tentative attack. Regardless of success, they camped in place and let the Grizzlies lead the knights. Ready to start chopping trees. "

...

Let Denell's army move.

A row of soldiers emerged from the forest, wearing grey-green jerseys, holding shields, and no swords around their waists. In the back three rows of halberds, long grey pennants hung from the tip of the spear.

There are three knights connected to the north of Toniguel. Palas ’s crest is a hunting dog, Raleigh ’s crest is a grizzly bear, and Cruz ’s crest is a silver moon, so those soldiers standing opposite The full moon is on the rising flag.

"I thought that such a large forest would scare them." Shire shook his head. Although the druids contributed valuable magic seeds, they almost completed this line of defense around the clock, but time was still too late. This forest is actually only a distance from the fortress. It is a real virgin forest, and the others are created by illusion alone.

The soldiers from the Crusaders slowly moved forward. Their wings followed a large group of rags, clothed in thick leather, barbarian mountain people with sharp axes and shields. The three armies slowly swam across the river from the shallows. , Seeing approaching Gris ferry.

"What does Lord Lord say?" Charles raised his hand and was preparing to order.

"'It's just aristocratic shield infantry and halberds who don't even reach Tier 1 arms, just settle them. Will you need to ask me? Stupid!'" Metis impersonated Brando's tone Answered.

"A Tier 1 unit? What the **** is that?" Shire's eyebrows were almost wrinkled together. The lord Lord seemed to have always liked to say strange things. What was the theory of lvup when he was in Ridenburg last time? He hasn't figured it out yet. What is this Tier 1 unit now?

But at this time he had no time to think so much, because the Cruiser's infantry back row allowed Denel's archers to come out in a row. All of these professionally trained longbowmen were the elite of Pallas. . Holding a long bow, they drew a trench in the ground with their arrows, and untied the skin around their waist to pour the liquid in the trench.

"It's oil, Rocket!" The silver elf princess changed her face.

A fire dragon ignited in the forest, and human soldiers had already raised their long bows at this moment, with long arrows burning on them. With a call in the forest, bowstrings trembled together—the next moment, almost everyone in the forest saw a cloud of fire flying into the sky, reflecting the mid-air into a blood red, and then the cloud stopped at the highest point, covering its face with a split head The ground smashed.

"rocket!"

With a scream, the rocket screamed and banged into the forest. Fortunately, the trees were extremely dense, most of the arrows were blocked by the canopy branches, and only a small part fell into the mercenary camp through the gap. In.

There were almost no direct injuries caused by the rocket, but Palas, who watched the battle in the distance, had almost no expression on his face. He was waiting for the follow-up effect, and it will soon be seen.

Longbowmen are raising their longbow, and the second wave of rockets is already on the string. ,
