Chapter 705: Centaur Appears!
"Whoosh!"
Once again, a cluster of dark shadows shot out of the forest, this time targeting the weaker-looking dryads instead of Kenway and the Dwarven Shieldguards at the front.
The forest dryad's physical defense is indeed very weak, because of the needs of the fighting style, they can't wear heavy armor, let alone full body armor, and they are really a little injured when they are shot by these crossbow arrows that are only a few feet long and like steel needles.
After the first attack, Wu Xiaoxiao then borrowed some small wooden round shields from the orc cavalry behind her, and equipped each dryad with a few.
The diameter of the round shield is about one and a half feet, all wooden, which is used by the orcs to temporarily cover the vital point, this simple wooden shield is basically a one-time thing, almost every battle, each orc has to use a few.
But it was these simple little shields, in the hands of the dexterous dryads, that made everyone's eyes shine!
"Tuk Tuk!"
The swift crossbow bolts left an afterimage in the air, and they disappeared in a flash, and the next moment, the targeted dryad had raised the wooden shield accurately, and the crossbow arrows that came were all nailed to the small wooden shield without exception.
"Roar!"
"Huh!"
The wolves that had been ambushed around for a long time immediately activated, and Lu Kuan's feather arrows also flew into the bushes for the first time, and for a while the grass screamed again and again, and soon returned to calm.
"A sneak attack will leave a dozen corpses, according to this way of fighting, these jungle gnomes will soon die, I'm afraid I won't dare to come,"
Lu Kuan looked at the battle record, his tone was relaxed, and he looked back at the forest dryads: "It's very powerful, the reaction is so fast, the shield can be used as your standard in the future, and everyone can carry a light steel shield." ”
Next to him, Didacro was holding a potion, giving the injured dryads a simple treatment of their wounds, because the dryads were immune to magic, and healing spells didn't work on them, so they could only be treated with potions.
Hearing Lu Kuan laughing and talking, the bear monster shaman immediately translated it for the dryads, and the dryads bowed to Lu Kuan one after another, looking very useful for Lu Kuan's praise.
Wu Xiaoxiao listened and said, "In Lone Star Town, I wanted to equip them with a set of light armor and shields, but I haven't been able to find a suitable one. ”
Lu Kuan nodded, thought for a while, and said, "I'll tell Zhu Biao and ask him to inform Rona and let the craftsmen make a batch of fitting, and next time I go back to the city and bring it back, remind me when the time comes." ”
"Okay." Wu Xiaoxiao nodded slightly.
Just as Lu Kuan expected, these jungle gnomes called skinners were really scared of being killed, and after harassing them twice, they never appeared again, and the cavalry soon passed through the woods, getting closer and closer to the center.
Lu Kuan didn't dare to be careless, so that the wolves spread wider, and the wind element above his head also flew more diligently, checking the surrounding situation, and after a while, Lu Kuan's vision came with a warning of the wind element.
"Something from the north is coming, it's fast, it looks like it's ......"
Lu Kuan reminded everyone in a loud voice, and at the same time carefully looked at the picture from the wind element, and frowned: "Centaur? ”
"Centaurs?" Compass wondered, so far, the crowd has encountered such an enemy for the first time.
"That's right, it's a centaur,"
Lu Kuan looked at it carefully, and immediately said: "Change the direction, go directly to the north, and when you see the enemy, you will rush up and cut directly, don't give them a chance to open the distance!" These centaurs are all marksmen! ”
With Lu Kuan's loud shout, the cavalry team quickly turned around, and Damian, who was originally pressing the formation behind, quickly followed, rode his mount with Kenway, and rushed in the direction indicated by Lu Kuan.
Lu Kuan's order was the clarion call for battle, and everyone's spiritual heads were immediately mobilized, especially the orcs.
Because there are a large number of centaurs living in the Dumb Mountain, the orcs have really fought with these guys face-to-face, and they know the evil and manic nature of the other party, and what Lu Kuan said just now, these guys' archery skills are really powerful.
"All of them, shield raised!"
At Damian's command, all the orc warriors who were charging forward made a movement in unison, raising their shields in one hand and drawing their battle axes in the other, charging forward in the slightly empty woods.
The reaction of the others was a little slower, but before everyone could think about it, there was a sudden sound of arrows breaking through the air in the forest in front of them, and the next moment, sharp feathered arrows came!
"Tuk Tuk!"
There was another muffled sound of blades nailing against the planks, mixed with the sound of a dense metal clash of metal.
The orcs lined up in front blocked most of the attacks, and it was inevitable that the lottery would be hung, so it was not a big problem.
Especially Kenway, who was at the front, deliberately took out the shield to open his door, and most of the feather arrows were shot at him, just like a magnet, and more than a dozen feather arrows were inserted in the front half of his body in an instant.
However, the arrow did not stick to Kenway, but pierced through the inferior leather armor he was wearing.
So under the horrified gaze of the centaurs in front of him, the black-clothed swordsman with "more than a dozen arrows in his body" seemed to be not afraid of pain, and was the first to bypass the bushes in front of him with his sword and shield, and Damian followed closely behind.
In fact, there was a faster one, that is, the wolves led by Dimi, in this terrain, faster than the mounts of everyone present, had already outflanked them from both sides.
The next moment, a centaur jumped out from behind the uncle who was hiding, and rushed here with a bow to show off his might, unaware that the scythe of death was already hanging above its head, but this also made everyone finally see these guys who released cold arrows.
It was a tall centaur, two meters tall, muscular, almost naked, with a club around his waist and a large bow in his hand, estimated to be not much shorter than Lu Kuan's size.
The other party gave this side a provocative look, turned around and was about to run away, where did Lu Kuan suffer this, show his archery skills in front of Lao Tzu?
"Whoosh! Burst! ”
"Herod'......"
The centaur screamed miserably, jumped more than a meter high, and the figure was fleeting in the grass, and the last thing that remained in the eyes of everyone was a huge horse's fart and strand with a feathered arrow in the middle.
……
After a few breaths, the two sides were already close to each other!
Lu Kuan's decisive charge, as well as the quick reaction of the orcs in the front row, made the centaur's several waves of cold arrows basically useless, and only a few wolves and velociraptors were injured by feathered arrows and planted in the grass.
Seeing that the injured orc warriors on their mounts directly entered a state of rage, they roared and rushed forward, killing the centaurs in one place!
"Drink!!"
Sword Saint Damian's short-distance sprint speed is unmatched, holding a long sword from the bottom to the top with a gentle wave, white light bursts, blood bursts, and the strong centaur led by him was directly split in half by the sword qi, and the internal organs were mixed with blood together, stirred by the sword qi, and exploded directly backwards!
Lu Kuan screamed happily, raised his hand to summon the zebra out, and added a circle of buffs to his teammates, and his attention fell on Kenway.
This is the first time everyone has seen Kenway's actual combat ability, the fighting style of the steel swordsman is steady, which is completely different from Damian's elegant fighting style, but there is another kind of beauty that is thick and down-to-earth, and Lu Kuan nodded again and again.
