Act 19 Battle for the Lumberyard (First Update, Broke Out Today, Ask for Subscription)
When the mercenaries noticed that the caveman had slammed into their raised shields, there was not a single sound, and the tremendous force was silent, suddenly lifting the people in the front row and falling to the back row, but the whole process was like a pantomime - silent.
Everyone was stunned.
Juta turned her head, her striking flaming long hair flicking through the crowd, and in the eyes of the mercenary leader, Brando on the other side of the battlefield was lowering his hand in this direction:
At that moment, the six ten-foot silence techniques accurately covered the entire front line of the battlefield.
The cavemen immediately fell into a boundless panic, losing their ability to judge sounds, and the creatures from the underground of Jogandigang were like a complete 'blind man' - just like when a person lost a sense of the world around him in an instant.
Its first instinct was either to subconsciously retreat or to swing its spear forward, in a vain attempt to defend itself.
Because this confusion quickly spread among the cavemen.
So the cavemen in the front row collided with the cavemen in the back row, or were regarded as enemies by their own people, and they scurried around in a panic, or they fought with their own people. Although many human mercenaries were involved in this chaos, most of them were free, and after a short pause, they immediately discovered:
Victory seems to be within reach.
I see, there is only one thought flashing in everyone's minds at this moment.
Brando, on the other hand, was throwing away the soul crystal that had run out of energy in his hand - the young lord glanced at it, as if he had expected the outcome of the battle.
"I see." Seeing the look on the young nobleman's face, Fern suddenly realized.
"These idiots have this weakness." Clenthia replied lightly.
The silver-haired middle-aged man was keeping an eye on the situation on the front line, and he ordered the flag to be changed at the first time. The red striped flag representing the charge was flying high on the battlefield at the moment, and the mercenaries in front didn't need to hear the order, they only needed to see this eye-catching flag to know what to do in the next moment.
The warriors threw away their shields and drew their weapons from underneath - a moment before they were defenders, but now they were transposed - like an invisible wave swept across the battlefield, and the mercenaries began to counterattack.
Blind cavemen are powerless to stop the onslaught of well-organized humans, and although they are outstanding, they are unable to hit their enemies. Moreover, in the midst of the 'darkness', there is an instinct for panic in their hearts, which causes them to begin to retreat in a panic as soon as they are attacked.
As a result, the troglodyte front began to crumble in the chaos, but the troglodyte warriors in the rear were unable to effectively get the news from the front, just as they were powerless to prevent this from happening; And in their perception, the range of the silence spell is like a black hole, swallowing up the feedback of a qiē sound.
All of the clans that entered the range of that black hole were defeated in an instant, and the retreat of nearly a hundred cavemen on the front line caused the entire troglodyte army to waver. Even though the cavemen were out of the range of silence, they had no intention of staying at all because of the hundreds of their own kind, at first they were only cavemen, but the troglodyte warriors who realized that the situation was gone also began to turn around, and then the bear goblins - and finally the escape turned into a rout.
But in fact, the real situation is not so one-sided.
Under the first round of attacks by the mercenaries, no more than twenty troglodytes had fallen, and their corpses lay on the river beach, left to be soaked by the river. But at this moment, the cavemen had no intention of turning back to count their casualties, they only obeyed the fear in their hearts, and they screamed and ran wildly towards the other side of the river, without formation or organization, pushing each other forward like a plate of loose sand.
Many cavemen were trampled to death by their own people, leaving corpses all the way behind.
The mercenaries changed formation after rushing out of the range of silence, and under the command of Yuta, they skillfully divided into three arrows and began to drive the fleeing cavemen forward, so that the way the ducks fought was popular with most people, although they hardly believed that this qiē really happened, and the contrast on the battlefield completely changed.
As Brando said, it's just a warm-up fight.
And on the other side, at the edge of the forest.
The remaining thirty or so cavemen were now being rounded by the cavalry of the Tiger Sparrow. With all three bear goblins killed by Brando, the cavemen had to face two Silver Archangels and nearly double the number of humans, and the outcome of the battle was clear.
Brando didn't have to look anymore, he turned around and saw that the mercenaries had chased the scattered cavemen across the river at an even speed. The young man snorted, thinking to himself that these guys were still cautious, and it seemed that they were scrupling about the dozens of cavemen left in the lumberyard.
He estimated the speed, at which the cavemen would surely flee into the lumberyard, which made him frown. Although it seems that these cavemen are all wolves, in fact, the previous battle did not hurt their muscles and bones at all, the casualties of the cavemen were less than a quarter, and the bear goblin did not die at all.
If they were allowed to escape, it would be for nothing.
But fortunately, when his eyes fell on the forest farther away on the other side of the river, there he finally saw the familiar figure.
The red-haired ponytail is like a beautiful scenery when it gallops forward in the woods, and that is Akane-
In fact, not only Brando, but Clensia, Juta, and Fern all noticed the change on the other side at this moment, and they realized that the red-haired girl who had never appeared had bypassed the river from somewhere. The girl rode on a silver-white magical warhorse, one by one, with a halberd in one hand, and a long arc of electricity came out of the forest.
Obviously, her goal is the lumberyard.
But before that, she stopped in the route of the troglodyte army's rout.
"Get out of the way" Yuta was stunned, not knowing why her heart tightened slightly when she saw the red-haired girl who was single-handedly stopped in front of hundreds of cavemen; There were hundreds of cavemen, including the bear goblins who escaped from the road, and the survival instinct was likely to stimulate the ferocity of these creatures, even if it was a golden order, it might not be able to retreat in such a situation, not to mention that if the other party was forced to turn around, then the previous victory could be said to be in vain.
But Akane didn't move, as if she hadn't heard.
The next moment, countless cyan points of light appeared in the forest behind her—they were wind spirit spiders. Every mercenary present now recognized these little things under Brando's command, and they knew how powerful they were.
Juta choked.
The Wind Spirit Spiders then attacked, and under Brando's command, they began to systematically force the cavemen to turn - and with every flash of light, one of the cavemen fell to the ground. The silver-level attack force made the cavemen impossible to resist, but they soon discovered that the right side of the group seemed to be the least vulnerable to attack.
So the next qiē became natural, and when the remaining twenty or so wind spirit spiders guided the holy sword to attack in one round, the cavemen, who were already terrified, could only scream and flee into the forest from another direction.
The red-haired girl stood motionless among the cavemen, but none of them dared to attack her, so she could only obediently bypass her side, as if the water was flowing over the reef to the other.
But Akane didn't attack, she waited until the back of the last caveman disappeared into the forest, then glanced back at the mercenaries who had caught up from behind, and then pulled the magic reins, causing the sitting silver warpony to stop and cross her.
Akane smiled at the sight of the cavemen in the lumberyard scrambling to close the gate built on the wooden fence on the perimeter in her amber eyes. A look of strength flashed in her eyes, and then the girl raised her halberd - and swung forward.
With a loud bang, everyone saw the gate of the lumberyard being lifted high and then falling apart in mid-air.
"It's a nuisance," Antitina grumbled, frowning at the scene, "she broke the door, and we'll have to find someone to fix it in a moment." Really, I don't think about it. The noblewoman's daughter had come out of the woods after the battle, and the previous battle had had little effect on her, or rather, or the noble lady had in fact become accustomed to such a life.
"Let her go." Brando smiled, and he looked up to see the golden dots of light flying towards him. About 10,000 more experience, enough to push his mercenary's experience bar forward by a small block - about a tenth.
Antitina listened to Brando's words and stopped answering, she watched the mercenaries led by Akane rush in through the gap on the east side of the lumberyard, and the remaining cavemen inside were definitely no match for the mercenaries and Akane, and the battle was decided.
"It's hard to imagine," the noble lady whispered, "that these creatures from the earth are so incapable of resisting certain magic, and it stands to reason that they should be well aware of their weaknesses." ”
"You can't say that," said the tiger sparrow from the other side, after cleaning up the battlefield, and said just in time, "Miss Antitina." ”
Antitina turned her head, a look of doubt flashing in her eyes.
"The cavemen are not a single formation," replied Brando, "and the Jorgane is like a huge kingdom of different creatures. In addition to bear goblins, there are harpy witches and kobold shamans who fight alongside the cavemen, and the cavemen themselves have witch doctors - but not one of these small tribes may be found. ”
"Therefore, in terms of magic, it is naturally inferior to us."
"So little?"
"According to the birth of a mage in a thousand people, this proportion is not small." Brando replied.
Antitina nodded, lowered her head and thought for a while: "It's just that I didn't expect that there is such a kingdom under the ground of Qiaogan, which is completely different from what I know from the books." Although I knew about cavemen, I had always thought that there was a wild place beyond the reach of civilization, and that the world was so wonderful. ”
Brando smiled, Antitina lived in the Cruz cultural system with humans as the main body, and it was normal to have such a wrong understanding. And from the player's point of view, the world is unimaginably large.
"But the cavemen alone are so fierce," the nobleman's daughter frowned, "compared to the skeleton soldiers of Madara, they are much more powerful." It turns out that we still have such a threat underground. ”
"One of the characteristics of the creatures of Jorgantigan is their individual strength, which has to do with the environment in which they live," Brando shook his head, and sighed as he looked in the direction of the lumberyard, "but you think the cavemen are fierce, but it's because Eruin is too weak - if the Cruz were here, I am afraid they wouldn't say such things." ”
