Volume 1: The Nobles Who Lost Their Territory Chapter 44: Firewall
The battle had begun, and the Jackals were the first to attack.
It was dawn, and a total of six mutant coyotes were approaching aggressively, followed by a dense group of jackals at their back door .
This scene would make ordinary people feel cold in their hearts.
Although the fighting power of the gnolls is not that good, their numbers are enough to overwhelm everything.
Unless the cavalry from River Beach City is dispatched, it will be difficult for the guard members of the White River Valley alone to compete with these jackals.
Everyone hid behind the fortifications and held their breath.
The mine they chose was closest to the edge.
There is a small hill on the left and a forest on the right, which makes it relatively easier to defend.
The young men of the security team held their weapons tightly, ready to deal with the sudden attack of the jackals at any time!
The last time they faced this situation, Marvin ordered them to evacuate because they were outnumbered.
But this time, they can't retreat!
Taking back their hometown, this is their only choice!
…
"I need some time!"
When Archer Joey heard the Double Blade Mask's call to him, he did not feel disgusted, but responded readily.
Experienced adventurers know what to do in battle.
Although it was agreed that Marvin would deal with the werewolf warlock, he was just a lone ranger. If he couldn't find the opponent's hidden warlock, the battle would be very troublesome.
Joey does have some outstanding qualities, otherwise he wouldn't have made a name for himself in Riverside City single-handedly.
His specialty, Deep Insight, not only has a huge restraint on stealth units, but is also particularly useful for searching!
After a while, he found the short werewolf in the semi-darkness!
Unlike other gnolls, this short gnoll stood on a small hill in the southeast, with a dozen guards around him.
They didn't charge, they just stood still.
The rest of the gnolls were divided into three waves, keeping a certain distance, and charging towards the human camp!
"I didn't expect this warlock knew a little about military affairs!"
Marvin's heart sank. This guy really was extremely intelligent.
Originally, the attacks of the jackals were disorganized, but under the command of this warlock, they seemed much more organized.
This is difficult to deal with.
With Joey's guidance, Marvin also quickly discovered him.
As long as we can kill that werewolf, the battle will become a lot easier!
But now comes the problem.
The two sides were quite far apart. Marvin was hiding in the camp, and the cunning warlock was far away on a small hill in the southeast!
He has guards around him.
Stealth is definitely not going to work, this warlock has the Eye of Pain, any invisible unit will suffer in front of him!
"Joey, come and help me!"
Marvin thought about it and greeted the archer.
The latter was also very decisive. He rolled on the ground and came to Marvin.
His movements were careful and were not noticed by the jackals.
"I'm going to kill that Gnoll warlock."
"But I need your help. First, we need to get closer."
"You can sneak, right? It doesn't matter. We don't need to get too close. The warlock's Eye of Pain has a range."
Marvin quickly repeated his battle plan!
After listening to this, Joey thought about it for a while and felt that the plan was feasible.
Marvin greeted Anna, and then the two of them sneaked out from the east side of the camp.
…
On the front battlefield, six aggressive mutant coyotes were about to rush to the camp!
"Isn't that woman Anna scared silly?"
"It's already this late, and you still won't let us take action?"
In the mine, Cathead watched this scene and couldn't help himself.
Everyone in the Bobcat Team was also a little uneasy.
In their eyes, the White River Valley security forces could not stop this wave of attacks.
If they collapse, they will be in great crisis.
At this time, we should rush out in one breath and kill all those jackals.
Why hasn't Anna given the order yet?
This made them very puzzled.
However, the captain of the other team, Gru, was very calm.
Holding a two-handed sword, he continued to observe the situation. Facing the uneasy team members, he just said:
"Wait a moment."
The man with the thorns immediately relaxed.
After experiencing so many battles, they have almost absolute trust in their captain.
Since the captain said so, then there will definitely be no problem if we wait a little longer.
But they were also very curious. When the members of the Baihe Valley were building fortifications yesterday, several people disappeared for a while and no one knew what they did.
How on earth were they going to stop those six seemingly unbeatable coyotes?
…
The answer was soon revealed.
Just as the six coyotes were about to charge up the fortifications, Andre, who had been observing the development of the situation, suddenly shouted:
"cut!"
Bang!
A few crisp sounds came from the woods nearby!
Everyone was stunned and looked to the side!
It was only at this time that the careless adventurers noticed that the two big trees standing at the edge of the mine had been tied with several thick hemp ropes since they had appeared!
The other end of the hemp rope was wrapped around another big tree!
Just now, Andre's order was given, and the two garrison members hiding in the woods cut the hemp ropes!
Crunch!
The two big trees suddenly began to tilt!
And the direction in which the big tree was leaning was exactly the direction of the battlefield!
The mutant hyenas were startled and tried to slow down. However, their speed had already been very fast during their previous run, so it was not easy to slow down all of a sudden! ?
Two breaths later, the two sturdy trees fell to the ground with a loud bang!
Boom!
dusty!
The whole earth is shaking!
…
"I see!"
"It turns out that the two trees had been chopped down before, and they were just hanging by ropes. Those gnolls didn't notice this, and they deserved it."
"Whoever thought of this tactic is a genius."
Verne's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but praise.
The other adventurers also showed their admiration. To them, being able to kill the opponent without bloodshed was the best thing in the world.
…
The big tree fell down and the jackals were terrified!
With a wailing sound, the mutant coyote at the front was smashed into a paste by the fallen tree!
The second coyote also failed to brake and crashed headfirst into the tree trunk, causing its brain to burst!
The next few were luckier as they slowed down and tried to jump over the thick trees!
But at this moment, torches were thrown out from the hands of the garrison members!
The torch fell on the tree, and the trunk, which was covered with flammable resin, immediately caught fire!
In an instant, two walls of fire were formed between the crowd's camp and the gnolls.
Two mutant coyotes jumped over, but their fur caught fire in the flames.
The other two were frightened and hesitated to move forward.
As for the other gnolls, they were so scared that they shrank back and didn't know what to do.
The human side, on the other hand, had a great victory!
Anna raised her sword and shouted, "Gru, Verne!"
"Get started!"
The leaders of the two adventurers immediately rushed out of the mine.
The two mutant coyotes that jumped over the fire wall had just escaped danger, but were besieged and killed by adventurers!
The situation suddenly reversed!
…
Outside the mine, the guards from the White River Valley were cutting down trees and setting fires, attracting the attention of the werewolf warlock.
The skinny werewolf warlock looked surprised.
He didn't expect that the enemy could use such a strategy to hinder his attack!
At that moment, he roared a few times and used his racial talent - [Communicator] to issue new orders to all the werewolves!
[Communicator] This ability is a very rare talent. It can help the Wolf Warlock to command other Wolfs better and more timely.
Ignore the firewall, go around it, and attack with all your might!
This is the order he gave!
Under the command of the werewolf warlock, the group of gnolls found the direction and began to try to bypass the fire wall from the east and attack the enemy camp.
However, at this moment, two guys who were tiptoeing stopped eighty meters away from the hill.
“That’s about it.”
Marvin whispered, "If we get any closer, he might be able to sense it."
“Try to ensure success at once.”
Archer Joey silently took out his bow and arrow, his eyes solemn:
"I will do my best."
