Chapter 139: Forest Treasure (I)
"Ah, it's almost dawn!" Benjamin exclaimed, "Come and talk to you about those things, and forget about the business!" ”
Higg asked suspiciously, "What's the matter?" ”
"My guards have scouted, three thousand meters ahead, there is a valley, there is a huge wild boar forest there, hehe, those wild boars are fat, these wild boars sleep during the day, and only come out at night to arch food, so we can attack their nests during the day, haha!"
"In your eyes, that's the right thing?"
"Isn't it the right thing to settle the military rations?"
"How many wild boars are there?"
"A few thousand!"
"So much?" Higg was shocked, and instead shouted excitedly, "We're not going to finish this little bit, right?" ”
"Think beautifully! We only take the adult fat, the sow and the piglet do not move, keep and reproduce, this is the treasure of the forest, can not dry up and fish! ”
"You elves still know how to cherish resources, so you eat birds and only eat bird legs!"
“……”
"Then get everyone up and get ready to go, right?"
Everyone was screamed, and when they heard that there were a large number of wild boars, everyone was so excited that they immediately cleaned up, especially the guys under Higg who were going crazy for meat.
More than a thousand people had simply used dry food, and in less than an hour they had reached the valley. The bottom of a huge valley is lush and deep. Halfway up the surrounding mountainside, there are traces of wild boar's hooves everywhere, and the soft soil where wild boars turn over and over.
"That's it!" Benjamin pointed to the dense forest and said with a smile, "I didn't expect this to be a treasure of feng shui, the valley is full of all kinds of plant roots that can be eaten by wild boars, and the halfway up the mountain is full of all kinds of mountain fruits, no wonder so many wild boars can be fed!" ”
"Shall we go down and catch wild boars?" Higg laughed.
"Looking for death?" Benjamin said, "These wild boars are fierce beasts, ordinary soldiers can't fight them alone, to be able to form a wild boar forest of this scale, this group of wild boars is definitely not simple, haha!" ”
"What then?" Higg asked, curious that wild boars could also have intelligence.
Benjamin smiled: "This should be a big family of wild boars should be tightly organized, then it will be much easier to do, we can lure them out and shoot them with bows and crossbows, so that we can also ensure that most of the boars shot are in the prime of life, haha, we don't have to risk going into the woods!" ”
Benjamin surveyed the terrain, pointed to a low-lying area that stretched out of the valley, and said to Higg: "I have two hundred guards and your five hundred crossbowmen ambush on both sides of the valley, five hundred spearmen to protect the crossbowmen, and my other hundred guards to lure the boar out, and then shoot at the ambush point." Don't fight wild boar unless you have to! ”
Higg looked mockingly at the guards and his own soldiers that Benjamin commanded as if he were facing a great enemy! It's just a matter of dealing with some wild boars, can you use the same formation as fighting a war? These elves really don't know how long it has been since they fought, haha!
After more than an hour, Benjamin finally set it up, and the hundred elven guards with quick hands flashed into the wild boar forest at the bottom of the valley like ghosts. The other two hundred elven guards were ready with bows and arrows ready to fight, looking nervous, but the soldiers of Higg, who had never experienced forest hunting but had experienced a hundred battles, were very relaxed and full of joy for the upcoming harvest.
Higg and Benjamin each led a team to ambush on both sides of the valley, and Blue Fairy and Butterfly Caiyun also followed Higg as if nothing happened, they have seen a lot of killing people and pigs these days, and it is not a big deal. But the thunder was held far away, saving the meat that was about to scare away the mouth.
After waiting for nearly an hour, there was a commotion in the wild boar forest at the bottom of the valley, and the trees in several places shook violently, and then, one by one, elven guards flashed out from all over the boar forest, followed by countless wild boars like a flood tide, chasing those panicked elven guards. The speed of the agile elven guards was dwarfed by these wild boars, and several elven guards who had no time to fall had to climb the big trees immediately, and the wild boars slammed into the big trees desperately, and the huge trunks were also violently shaken.
Only more than half of the 100 elven guards led the boars to the designated valley, there were no big trees in the valley, and if the elven archers and crossbowmen lying in ambush on both sides could not shoot the boars, those elven guards would be trampled into flesh by these huge herds of wild boars!
Higg, Blue Fairy, Butterfly Caiyun and the thousand soldiers they brought were all stunned, where is this wild boar, it is simply a wild buffalo! Each pig was twice as large as the domestic pigs, and was very fierce and strong, with a brown coat, a dense and firm bristle, and two terrible pointed fangs. These wild boars went on a rampage, flattening the vegetation in the valley. It was the dry season, and there was no water in the valley, and a large number of wild boars chased the elven guards into the valley.
The elven archers on both sides of the valley immediately attacked, and almost every archer shot an arrow at the rapidly running boar, and the boar immediately fell to the ground and struggled. The five hundred crossbowmen brought by Higg were still watching the horrible scene in amazement, and forgot to shoot.
"Bastard! Attack! Benjamin shouted angrily.
The crossbowmen trembled and raised their bows and arrows and shot at the herd of wild boars. However, the fighting ability of these crossbowmen is insignificant compared to that of the elven archers. Not to mention that the accuracy is not good, even if they shoot wild boars, those wild boars only accelerate and run painfully, and they will not fall to the ground and struggle at all, but are even more ferocious and desperate.
The wild boars in the valley seemed to find themselves in an ambush, and after being shot in the first round, the front wanted to retreat, but they were pressed by more wild boars behind and could not turn back, so they had to run more fiercely forward or towards the mountainsides on both sides of the valley, although the slopes on both sides were very steep, but these strong guys did not care at all.
The spearmen and crossbowmen were in a complete panic, and they had to shoot two or three arrows to shoot the boar, so how could they have so much time to prepare? If these herds of wild boars rush up, they will turn themselves from hunters into prey.
Higg and Blue Fairy finally saw the power of these wild boars, and their previous disdain was gone, and now they want to think about how to stabilize their position.
Higg looked at the group of wild boars rushing up, and hurriedly stepped forward and cast a chain lightning skill, which was hugely lethal, knocking down seven or eight wild boars that were about to rush up to the ground and rolling down the mountainside. The valley rumbled with a loud roar, and it also frightened the herd of wild boars on his side. But this can only be a temporary suppression, and more wild boars rushed up regardless of it.
For the destructive power of lethal magic, Higg can't do anything on his own, there are too many wild boars, and no matter how much his mana value is, it is limited, no matter how fast he kills, there is no faster than a wild boar running up.
So Higg changed his strategy, and applied the group acceleration, blessing, luck, etc. to the nearly 100 crossbowmen around him, and gradually the situation changed a lot, and those crossbowmen who were blessed by magic immediately doubled their combat effectiveness, and finally basically controlled the situation on this side of the valley.
And Benjamin's side is much more embarrassed without a powerful magician like Higg.
Seeing the embarrassment of Benjamin's side of the river valley, Higg took the bow of the tree elf, and shot an arrow towards the side of the river valley, and with a bang, the flesh and blood of the wild boar that was shot flew sideways, stirring up a burst of blood mist.
"Nonsense!" An embarrassed Benjamin exclaimed, "Is that how your bow works?" ”
"Butterfly Caiyun, send the bow to Benjamin!" Sigg handed the Dryad Bow and Arrow Magazine to the flying Butterfly Cloud, and only he could reach the other side of the valley at this time, hoping that the Dryad Bow would make Benjamin less embarrassed.
The four-winged butterfly clouds instantly sent the bow of the tree elf to Benjamin, and the position in the valley on Benjamin's side was almost lost, and the spearmen in several places were forced to fight with the fierce wild boar, which was very miserable.
As a result, Benjamin of the Bow of the Tree Elves looked at the arrow box brought by Higg in surprise, and didn't have time to think about it, he didn't use Higg's arrow box, but took out an arrow directly from his back, not to mention a dozen, and put on the bow of the Tree Elf, and led the bow to fire, and a dozen arrows immediately galloped towards a dozen wild boars that were about to rush up, and all of them hit in an instant, and a large number of wild boars rolled down, and the surrounding crossbowmen immediately boosted their morale.
Benjamin then grabbed the arrow from the arrow box on the back of one of the crossbowmen beside him, and drew his bow again, and a dozen wild boars were shot and rolled down the valley.
Benjamin was physically and mentally exhausted after shooting six times in a row, and the impact of the wild boar herd was finally suppressed, and the subsequent weak wild boar herd impact could no longer pose a threat, and the wild boar herd that did not enter the river valley gradually dispersed in horror, leaving only countless dead or injured wild boars that could not be evacuated in the bloody river valley.
The fierce hand-to-hand encounter ended in a hurry in less than ten minutes, and the statistical result of more than an hour was that more than 800 wild boars were killed, and six warriors were killed, including an elven guard who was trampled into a pulp because he did not suppress the wild boar herd, more than 50 were injured, and 13 were seriously injured, for this 200 tons of pork, Benjamin and Higg can also be said to have paid a heavy price!
Higg looked at so many wild boars, "What about these wild boars?" ”
Benjamin said with a smile: "Slaughter it on the spot, make cured meat, more than 800 pigs, remove the internal organs and bones, at least 100 tons of cured meat, and your meat for more than 20,000 people for the winter is basically enough." My elven guards are clean, let your people do these things, haha! ”
"Love cleanliness? You forgot that now you are all my captives! Higg smiled, "Yesterday I said I wanted to put down my body, but now I say that love is clean, hehe!" ”
"That's how you talk to your uncle?" Benjamin laughed: "You need salt to make meat, and without a few tons of salt, how do you make cured meat?" My people are in charge of finding salt mines and collecting spices nearby, so I'm going to trouble you guys to kill pigs these days, haha! ”
"Oh, well!" Higg laughed and said, "The jungle is full of treasures, hahaha! ”
At this time, Lan Xian'er came out of nowhere and said excitedly: "Xige, Your Royal Highness the Prince, I have discovered a true forest treasure!" ”
"What treasure?" Higg and Benjamin asked curiously at the same time.
