Volume 4 The First Kuroshio War Chapter 125 Trolls and Blazing Glue

Trolls don't have very good brains, as long as they are not special "rare species", they are basically stupid idiots, the difference is only with idiots or big idiots. But stupid is stupid, their combat effectiveness is still very guaranteed, especially when they are hungry.

If you can have a troll as your subordinate, it is undoubtedly a pretty good vanguard general! The commander-in-chief of the first army will be unusually happy. It only takes a simple pig rush to enter the enemy's formation, disrupt the enemy's organization, and interfere with the enemy's army......

However, as an enemy, trolls are a nuisance that the commander has to pay attention to. Not only are they extremely powerful and destructive, but they also have thick skin and a strong ability to heal themselves, making them very difficult to kill on the battlefield. This kind of individual with both offensive and defensive attributes, even if it can be suppressed through targeted tactics, is still a headache for the commander.

Flames and strong acids are indeed the best weapons against trolls. But in fact, using fire and strong acid against other individuals, whether elves or humans, orcs and goblins, can also achieve quite good results. It's just that trolls, which are relatively difficult to kill, can be killed more quickly with fire and strong acid.

Trolls attempting to storm the "buffet pick-up area" through the fence were sniped by multiple crossbow bolts. Several bottles filled with fiery glue ignited the trolls at the front, turning the fence into a devouring maw of flames.

"Ahh

The troll in the form of a humanoid torch let out a wail of pain. It kept flapping at the flames burning on its body, trying to save itself. However, its actions are futile, and the flames caused by the fiery glue cannot be extinguished by slapping, splashing water, etc. Although air is an indispensable part of the combustion of incandescent glue, its main combustion quality is the incandescent glue itself, which is like an ointment.

The wailing troll was able to hold the flames out of the flames at first, but as more bottle-bound crossbow bolts fell, the flames began to spread uncontrollably over it, and the air became more bitter.

- The troll in front of you bears some resemblance to the Treant in the dark, and seems to have the ability to burn easily because of this?

The trolls, struggling in the flames, didn't last long, and after a while they were silent.

The two trolls that appeared next stopped their tracks. In the face of the scorching heat, in the face of their partners who were no longer moving, they did not hesitate to choose to retreat.

Trolls are stupid, but they're not stupid. In particular, the flames, which will cause permanent damage to themselves, are almost equivalent to natural enemies, and they are extremely cautious.

Prudence means to pay close attention to external things or one's own words and actions so that unfavorable or unfortunate things do not happen. But many things can be avoided if you don't pay close attention.

For example, the two dwarfs holding "human-made catapults" are constantly firing "terrible jars". After taking out one of the troll's companions, their gaze ...... Not good! They've seen it! "Human-made catapults" are also pointed!

Trolls are afraid of fire, and they are also afraid of devices that can shoot fire, and they are also afraid of those who possess them.

For the flames, there is nothing the trolls can do. When it comes to the device that fires flames, the troll's choice is to simply smash it flat and destroy it. For those in possession of the relevant equipment...... It can also be smashed and destroyed!

Relying on the length of his hands and feet, the troll bent slightly and grabbed a heavy object from the ground, then waved at the two dwarfs and threw it.

The heavy thing made a high-pitched cry in the air, as if it were a living thing. When you look closely, it is indeed a living creature, a gnoll brute armed with a battle axe and a round shield. I saw the gnolls screaming and flying towards the campfire in the center of the camp, and the troll's "natural power" can be seen!

Throwing the first "large hidden weapon", the two trolls crouched down again, grabbed a heavy object again, a large piece of broken wooden stick, and threw it at the two dwarfs around the campfire again. This was followed by the third, and then the fourth......

The Gnoll Brute doesn't like the feeling of taking off in the air, but he can't help himself, who let it get caught by the trolls.

When they first took off in the air, the gnolls were full of fear, but after a moment the fear turned to ecstasy. It flew past the fiery maws of demons, over the dense forests of spears, and over the heavily armed human soldiers!

The few humans around the campfire, who knew it was delicious at a glance, quickly enlarged in front of its eyes. It seems that you can feel the trembling of the slender arms and legs of human beings, and it seems that you can feel the fine skin and tender flesh of human beings, and it seems that ...... It lost consciousness completely.

The invisible barrier that suddenly appeared in the air was like a wall, and the gnolls slammed into it. Then it slid like mud and fell into the midst of the heavily armed human knights. It still breathed when it fell, but it was faint. But as several metal boot-clad feet stepped on it, its last breath quickly dissipated.

More "big hidden weapons" began to fall. Among them were huge rocks, thick roots, thick clods of earth, and a whole small tree......

"Steady! Steady! ”

"Array!"

"Raise your shield!"

Humans screamed loudly at something the trolls couldn't understand. However, starting from the actual actions of humans, the trolls can see that humans are on the defensive, group defense.

A wall of shields formed almost instantaneously under the troll's nose. The "large hidden weapon" smashed down on the shield wall and bounced in all directions. In response, more arrows fell on the troll's head.

The sharp arrows easily pierced the skin, making the troll feel very uncomfortable, and the cloudy eyes were staring at the treetops in the distance - it was an elf! One of the trolls turned sideways and threw the "large hidden weapon" in his hand at the tree where the arrows hit the most.

The "big hidden weapon" is a lump of earth dug up from the ground. The lump was not strong, and immediately crumbled into clods of various sizes when thrown by the great force, flying like a shotgun into the trees where the elves were hiding.

Two slender figures immediately jumped up from the treetops, and after a few takeoffs, they disappeared into the other two trees. Sharper arrows were then fired.

The trolls took up a position outside the fence breach, and began a pattern of attacking and smashing each other with humans from a distance. For a moment it seemed to be in a stalemate.

The protagonists of the original night raid, that is, the gnolls, were unwilling to be repelled by the humans, and after a short assembly, they began to act again.

Spring has just arrived, and this is the time when the green and yellow are not shining. The gnolls, who had been hungry for a winter and were almost at their limit, were in desperate need of food. Finding a human caravan at this time is really amazing, it is simply a gift from my god! It's just that the caravan in front of me is a little difficult, and there are too many adventurers in the caravan!

- The gnolls can't tell the difference between a caravan and an army. Anyway, seeing that it's a human being, it's right to grab it directly!

The gnoll was not willing to fail, and went back without gain. They need enough loot to comfort the burrowing cubs, and enough flesh to fill their empty stomachs!

They regrouped and rounded the fence breach, and then began to climb the fence. With a fence of about two meters, it is not as difficult to climb as imagined. It seems that the trolls have attracted most of the attention, until the little half of the gnolls have climbed over the fence and no humans have noticed them. This made the gnoll leader think that it must be the main god of the gnoll who began to pay attention to it, and luck seemed to be beginning to come.

- Do gnolls have gods of their own?

There should be none. They generally believe that Geush is the god of orcs, a cruel and ruthless evil god. And the god of luck is named Ferdinand, a god served by halflings, and has nothing to do with the gnolls, and it can even be said that the relationship between the two sides is hostile.

"Woo, woo, woo......"

The gnoll leader commanded his people forward with a series of brief howls.

As dark creatures of order, the Gnolls are well aware of the "convenience" that order brings to fighting and looting. For the command of the chief, they are extremely highly enforced.

The first to climb over the fence were the strongest of the gnolls. They were clad in relatively fine armor—ill-fitting leather armor, which should have been plucked from the unfortunate adventurer; Holding a relatively sharp tomahawk or knife in his hand - the weapon still looks cold and shiny, as if it has been well maintained.

The gnolls did not immediately charge after climbing over the fence, but waited for more companions behind them. When the number of clansmen who climbed over the fence exceeded ten, they cleared a not-so-tight array and pressed down on the human soldiers who formed the shield wall.

With an average height of more than two meters, he completely overwhelmed a human soldier's head, and his fierce face, strong arms, and exposed scars. The gnolls that form the array are imposing, and they are strong at first glance! The human soldiers behind the shield wall apparently noticed the gnolls approaching and let out loud shouts.

- Let's see what other tricks you have this time!

Previously, the narrow environment of the fence had broken and narrowed, restricting the movement of the gnolls. The small environment makes them crowded together, and not only do they not play to their own strengths, but they become the best targets for concentrated javelin shooting. But now it was different, there was an open area before the campfire, there was no dense array of guns blocking the way, and there were no traps...... Wrong! There are traps!

The gnolls in the front row jumped to their feet and wailed. Beneath its upturned feet, a metal diamond nail stands out in the eye.

There are two if there is one. Soon, a second jumping gnoll appeared.

Gnolls have night vision, most of them have low-light vision, and a few gnolls in caves who live all year round even have dark vision. They walk through the darkness as if they were walking on the ground. The problem was that the light was on and off at the moment, from the faint moonlight falling through the treetops to the beating fire from the campfire, and with the uneven ground and black metal diamond nails, it was rare and difficult for the gnolls to notice what was beneath their feet. It's no surprise that one foot on a metal diamond spike.
