106. Unhappy Sean
Sean and the others were lying on a slightly higher grassy slope, coldly watching the troops about dozens of meters away in front of them.
The snake-like troops were still advancing, because kobolds, lizardmen, and goblins were born with dark vision, so they didn't light their torches even though it was night. Therefore, at this moment, this silent marching army has a little more cold silence and solemnity, like a dark viper entrenched, and the momentum of the human regular army is not inferior at all.
This is the tribal army of the Savage Lands!
Sean's troops, whether they are bears or northland barbarians or barbarians around Hammerhammer, do not have the ability of dark vision, although the dynamic vision ability of the Northland barbarians is very good, but this also avoids the influence of the dark environment. The only people who can clearly see the situation of the enemy are the gray elves, werewolves, dwarves, and goblins under Andre's command, and the reason why Sean, Andre, and Heavy Hammer can also see the situation of the enemy is thanks to Cecilia's dark vision magic blessed by everyone, but that's all.
Although the amount of mana required for this magic is very small, it is a slightly larger task if it were to be blessed by everyone, unless Cecilia can learn the blessing of the group's dark vision.
"My lord, I was discovered by the scouts going forward." Werewolves are naturally good at scouting, so it is easy to judge the situation, "This is a windless area, we can only observe here, and beyond that is the flow of wind, which will be discovered by those goblins." ”
The sense of smell of goblins is originally inferior to that of kobolds and lizardmen, and according to the normal situation of this world, kobolds should have the most sensitive sense of smell in the orc race, even lizardmen are not as good as them. However, the situation in the Wild Land is a little different, perhaps due to the pressure of survival, as the goblin with the lowest combat effectiveness, in order to survive in this dangerous area. They inevitably need some kind of change or evolution, so the goblins of the Savage Lands have the most terrifying sense of danger and their sense of smell.
The dual line of defense formed by using werewolves as scouts and goblins to perceive the surrounding situation has always been the dream of slave hunters and even some military strategists, but in fact, there are not many people who can do this.
Andrei is one of the few people who has the "Dream Scout System", and his ability to survive here in the Wild Land for five years has a lot to do with this system and his caution.
At this moment, the world world is black and white in Sean's eyes.
But this kind of black and white is not the same as the general black and white color.
Sky, earth. Even everything that extends from this point is pure white, except that the farther ones are grayish-white. The advancing force was black, and although the outline was very obvious, it was a different shade of black in Sean's field of vision, and he could recognize that it was because the other party was wearing armor. and the distinction of the lining that peeks out of the armor.
Dark vision is generally used for expeditions such as caves or underground ruins. And if there's an option like a torch or a magic torch. Ordinary people don't use dark vision, after all, it is not easy for a person who is used to colorful colors to get used to this kind of bicolor that has been completely reversed and reversed. The situation in the game is okay, the people who are born with dark vision can also be assisted by the system, and the situation can still be colored, and players who have gained night vision due to the blessing of dark vision. Many people experience nausea and dizziness after not seeing it for a few minutes for the first time.
Sean's situation is not bad, after all, he has endured a lot in the game before; Andrei can also endure it; Probably the barbarian hammer, whose brain development is not very good, is already a little dizzy at the moment.
Dark vision, also limited by the ability of the blessed person's vision.
Sean's strength has now increased dramatically. But he could only see the situation about a hundred meters away, and this army was about forty meters away from everyone, and it was still out of the range that could be observed. With Sean's understanding of kobolds, lizardmen, and goblins, these three groups are naturally clearly recognizable in his eyes, plus his identity as a blacksmith, he also has a relatively systematic understanding of standard equipment, so he can naturally distinguish the equipment worn by these people.
This force was about 200 men, and the main members were kobolds, which was about 130 or 40 men.
Among the kobolds, a black flag is held.
But in reality, the flag is not black, but red like a flame.
This is the flaw of dark vision, because it can't reproduce the true color, so anything dark will appear black.
The clan flag of the Yanqi tribe is a flag as bright red as a flame, and there is no ornament on the flag, representing a burning flame. Of course, for a group of kobolds to have such a clan flag and name, the other tribes in the wild land are actually very puzzled, but this tribe has survived a series of battles, so this flag and clan name have been retained to this day.
The Yanqi tribe is also a fifth-class tribe, but considering the breeding situation of kobolds, the scale of one hundred or forty people should almost reach the limit of this tribe, maybe this is already the entire tribe's troops. But as Sean had already said to Cecilia and the others, the kobolds of the Savage Lands were not only smart, but also very cunning, as evidenced by the fact that these kobolds were mixed with lizardmen and goblins in their troops at the moment.
The kobold who knows how to pull foreign aid and the barbarian who is stupid and knows how to the guy, the victory is naturally the former.
Heavy hammer and others lost unjustly.
"That's supposed to be the lizardmen of the Rossi tribe." Andre squinted his eyes and observed for a moment before he spoke, "I don't know exactly how big this tribe is, they are active in the entire wilderness, but it seems to be a small group of activities, usually about four or five people, and it is rare to see their number more than a hundred. I've dealt with them a few times, both cooperative and hostile, and for a certain price, I can hire these lizardmen to help them fight. ”
"This mercenary way of living was learned from the outside world, right?" Sean spoke.
"Yes." Andre nodded, "But the credibility and character of these guys are not very good, and it is common for them to defect in battle." Whoever gives more money will help whomever he wants, and occasionally I have heard of the killing of his employer. ”
"It's a good fit for the lizardmen." Sean pursed his lips, "They're about the same color as kobolds, or even more hateful than kobolds." None of the humanoids tainted with the blood of dragons are good. ”
The number of lizardmen in the army was not much, only about thirty, but the weapons used were better than those of kobolds, and those obvious at a glance were the regular equipment of the outside army, not the rudimentary equipment here in the wilderness. But luckily, the lizardmen mercenaries of this Romanian tribe don't seem to be that strong in combat. They are all infantry units armed with spears, and there are no knight classes.
The only ones who have cavalry classes are the goblins.
The number of these goblins is not large, about the same number as the lizardmen, and more than half of them are cavalry.
Goblin cavalry.
Goblins are not technically a combat-ready people. But their weakness is only relative to other aspects. As a race, they also have their own history, writings, and beliefs. Similarly, there are other weapons development, scientific and technological research and development, and troop changes related to these aspects.
These goblin cavalry riding on sand wolves. The weapon used is a scimitar, which has a strong ability to burst at short distances and a tenacious endurance for long-distance runs. As a cavalry class, goblin cavalry is not good at storming or charging battles, but it is used in chasing and routing, containing, harassing, running, galloping, etc., but the goblin cavalry has a very big advantage, in essence. Goblin cavalry is a genus of light cavalry, but is a little better than the average human light cavalry.
Especially the goblin cavalry of the Savage Lands.
There are more than twenty goblin cavalry here, and in the common sense of the Savage Lands, they can ignore any regular army below fifty. Unless it's with a good commander. Or the individual strength is generally stronger than the goblin cavalry, otherwise even a veteran like Andrei would not fight with such a goblin cavalry when the number is less than fifty or the number of troops is restrained.
"It looks like it's very strong." After observing silently for a while, Sean finally came to a conclusion, "Since it is the Yanqi Tribe, then their target must be your Chongyan Tribe." ”
Hearing Sean's words, the hammer immediately became anxious.
"How many people are there in your tribe?" Sean asked, "I mean, someone who can still fight under the threat of extermination." ”
"If I hadn't been caught, I would probably have been able to make up a number of people who were not weaker than this force." Heavy Hammer thought for a moment and said, "I can't say it now, but it will definitely not exceed a hundred, because as long as the barbarians have more than a hundred people who can fight, the Yanqi tribe will definitely not start a war with us." …… I'm worried that several other chieftaincy candidates are also ......"
Sean's eyes narrowed slightly, and he knew that what the heavy hammer said was true.
The barbarians of the Wild Land have always been known for their strong combat effectiveness, not to mention one to fight ten, at least four or five is no problem. Especially with a race like kobolds, a mad barbarian can easily wipe out a standard patrol of twelve.
Now that the Yanqi tribe has pulled the mercenaries and more than thirty goblins from the Luoxi tribe to dare to fight the Chongyan tribe, this can only prove that the Chongyan tribe is now in an unprecedented period of weakness, which is not good news. Here in the wilderness, if any tribe falls into a period of weakness, then what awaits them is probably the disaster of extermination, even if it is not extermination, it will definitely be swallowed up by other tribes.
Sean wants to use the Heavy Rock Tribe as his breakthrough into the Savage Land, how can he let this person from the Bullshit Flame Banner tribe disrupt his plans.
"Inform the whole army to prepare for battle!" (To be continued......)
