The Amber Sword: Scene 16 Lumberyard Battle (3)
Scenario 16 Lumberyard Battle (3)
The Troglodyte in the logging yard quickly discovered that a team of adventurers -- appeared on the other end of river bank. One was led by warrior, and the combination of two crossbowmen and wizard was common in both Aouine and Kirrlutz areas. -- The emergence of this group of humans is undoubtedly a stimulus to the creature of the tall ridge roots with a strong sense of territories. So the whistle of the whistle and the sound of the wooden door squeak opened soon in the camp, Underground creature came out, About two teams of more than thirty Troglodyte wading towards river bank side.
They split in two lanes, trying double-teamed. The adventurer apparently noticed the movement here too. The crossbowman put two arrows and missed one. The other shot did not cause any effect. The crossbow shot hit a Troglodyte chest, huge. The impact force made it splash retreat in the river water in one step --, but that's all. The Troglodyte shook his head, then raised his spear to keep up with the team.
"The skin is really thick," Kalun hiding in the bushes frowned. "It is true that the rumor is true. It would be difficult for us to deal with a thing like one thousand."
"It's fast. It's almost three hundred feet from the river to this side. They only took a few seconds." Jutta replied, "This speed is really scary, faster than the best cavalry!"
"Faster than the best cavalry?" The tall Fire Ground Battlegroup Commander laughed aside, "That's the best cavalry you've never seen, Jutta Young Lady."
The red-haired female mercenary commander suffocated, and immediately looked back at the guy.
But Brando nodded, Troglodyte's speed was about the speed of the second line cavalry. Slower than the best horses. However, most of Vaunde's really good cavalry do not use war horses as mounts. For example, the name of Aouine's strongest air cavalry patrol cavalry -- describes the way these Knights crossed the battlefield. Calm and indifferent -- is actually talking about the Wyvern Cavalry regiment. Each of the Aouine legion has a preparation, often the elite among the air cavalry.
"Don't argue," Kalun interrupted the conversation between Fern and female Commander. "Look, there are at least two hundred Troglodyte in that logging yard. Such a huge number, no matter what we do alone Mercenary can not eat Ah–– "middle-aged man shook his head as he said, silver hair shining in the sunlight between the woodland:" Lord Thane, do you have any countermeasures? "
His eyes turned to Brando intentionally or unintentionally.
Amandina snorted slightly, she could see the guy's intentions clearly. It really depends on the strength of Brando and Scarlett. Even Frontal Penetration will not appear difficult. The two golds are basically no problem against one hundred Black Iron. There are still a lot of help from Mercenary and three Head Commander, and at most two hours, they can storm the logging field.
But if these guys take their noses and walk away, what prestige does the Lord Thane have? Besides, she looked at Brando's face calmly and confidently, and knew that the youngster she had been following must have been a success.
So damsel coldly replied: "Troglodyte is not good at siege. Basso's Knight Rowen once went down to deal with these creature. He clearly described these creature habits in his book. The ability of Troglodyte is in this river bank The lot is the most popular, and even the best excavation methods are lost. No matter how thick their skins are and how fast they run, as long as we take the logging yard and turn them into defense, they will do a little bit. Neither. "
Fern glanced back at Brando and replied with a little surprise: "Is there such a thing? Lord Thane chose this place as the offensive ***, did you consider this?"
Brando Although I heard maintain one's composure on the surface, I couldn't help cramping my lips, so I didn't know this.
The location of the logging site near the river is actually a common phenomenon. One is to facilitate the downstream transportation, and the other is to build a waterwheel to drive the sawmill -- with water. After all, the Magicite power is still in these remote areas. Rare stuff.
But he has n’t done much research on places like Trentheim. He can know that there are four logging farms on the side of Fir City. As for the state of these logging farms, only ghosts really know.
"The countermeasures are there," Brando nodded, "It depends on how much strength our bait can draw the other side." youngster turned back and smiled at these nominal subordinates, "But you can relax, this time The battle is not as difficult as you think, just treat it as a warm-up for mercenaries running together with each other. "
Warm up?
The presence of not only three Head Commander, but also a lot of small Mercenary Company's Commander are all at the same time. More than three hundred Mercenary face more than two hundred Troglodyte, which is a warm-up. Whatever it looks like, it is a close battle.
"Let's wait and see." Brando settled down, his eyes fell on river bank. The battle on river bank has just begun at this moment. When the 'adventurers' noticed the intention of Troglodyte, they started to retreat on the forest side. Their speed was very fast, but they still did not reach the natural advantages of Troglodyte. Overtaken on the edge of the forest.
But the wizard in the team immediately knocked on the ground with magic staff, and said aloud a spell, "Wa La", the pebbles and dirt under their feet rose up from the ground and lifted up the four, and the soil rose to form a The chest wall of the castle --, which is almost two meters high and three meters square, is readily available. The city is made of hard earth and stone. -- protects four people in the center.
Spell of Fortification.
Everyone was taken aback. The Third Circle spell of the Defense short sentence in Conjuration Magic can almost have such an effect. -- Although it is far from the realm of the legendary Sorcerer that shapes the city out of thin air, but at least it can be proved on the field That Conjurer has at least the strength of Black Iron.
Who is so luxurious.
Others turned around and wanted to see who was willing to send their next Third Circle Conjurer to the front line as a bait. But only Kalun captured the slightest smile on Fern's face.
"Fern, is that yours?" he asked in a low voice.
Fire Ground Battlegroup's Head Commander nodded indifferently. "Maffery is the best wizard in my regiment," he replied.
"You can really be willing." Kalun confirmed that the thoughts in her heart did not feel like to heave a sigh of relief, but instead produced a sense of crisis. This middle-aged man with silver hair looked at the tall silent Fern, and then looked at the Brando of did not say a word, and suddenly felt one's own status shake.
At first, he spent the longest time fighting with that young Thane side by side during that night's battle, thinking that he should have no problem making a first impression in front of Brando by virtue of his performance. Unexpectedly, this veteran who looked dumb and honest with Pakistani had unknowingly reached a tacit understanding between already and the youngster.
Maybe what agreement is reached.
Kalun whispered in his heart, and gritted his teeth. But immediately his eyes were attracted to the battle of the forest edge by subconsciously. --. When Maffery cast Spell of Fortification's retreat to the back of warrior and the crossbowman to rest, middle-aged Wizard breathed his entire body leaning on Staff. The Third Circle spell obviously consumed his great Stamina and energy.
But the effect is also obvious.
As Amandina said, Troglodyte is not good at siege. These creature from Underground have strong hind limbs, but their forelimbs are short and thin. They often do not rely on the strength of their upper limbs when they attack, because the forelimbs are only used to Using tools and holding a spear, Troglodyte attacked the enemy through the power of its hind limbs when it launched the attack, relying on the transformation of potential energy.
But a wall barrier has caused them great trouble. The two-meter-high walls are not high, but Troglodyte found that once they leaped high to prepare to attack those humans, they were greeted by a gleaming sword edge --. And they have no way to dodge in midair.
Just face to face, Troglodyte was split back two in person. The small corpses flew back and landed on river bank for several laps before they stopped. Their companions rushed away, then slowed a little at a loss.
By sending out sonic feedback, they already found that they had a towering earth-rock castle in front of them.
Troglodytes looked at each other, but the ‘Muru’ Troglodyte, who came up from behind, immediately made a whistle-like sharp sound, letting them spread out and siege from all sides.
"Too barely ..." The red-haired female mercenary commander frowned. She knew that the four Mercenary acting as bait were all selected by Brando from them, and all of them were elite with high Black Iron rank or even peak strength. It is on the flat ground that it can support for a while and a half under the siege of thirty Troglodyte, not to mention the fact that it has the best geographical advantage.
However, it is still too reluctant to try to seduce the other party to send more support under the siege of thirty Troglodyte.
But what she didn't expect was that after pursing her magenta Troglodyte Warrior and forcing her one's own companion to launch two rounds of attacks, she decisively made all the Troglodytes back with sharp whistle sounds, and waited around the earth stone castle.
What's going on?
Four Mercenarys are waiting on the chest wall. The previous battle already consumed them a lot of Stamina. As long as Troglodyte intensifies it, you can capture this temporary fortress in one fell swoop. However, at this time Correct did not expect them to Return.
You need to know that wizard Maferi already calms down, and after a while, he can enter the battle again.
"Troglodyte is unwilling to pay the price. Although the attack can be carried out in one fell swoop at this time, it is impossible to attack without geographical advantage and personal strength, without paying a lot of casualties." Brando felt that there were many around him mercenary commander was surprised, explained.
Although these people are old in all kinds of battles, they do not necessarily deal with the underground creature of these tall ridge roots. In the fiercely competitive underground, population and troop strength are very valuable resources and are not allowed to be wasted at will.
This is why the average individual strength of the underground world is generally high.
"so that's how it is," Kalun glanced at Brando. As Mercenary on the battlefield, they may not be able to afford the noble noble and Scholar, but if they can apply these secret knowledge to the battlefield, they can't help but give people a high look. "But I didn't expect that the Troglodyte's attacking ability is so weak. could it be that's underground creature has no habit of building cities?"
Brando almost didn't get caught up in this problem, he thought that those guys under Gorgon Ravine could build cities better than human cattle. Because the underground castle was first born to prevent the invasion of demons, the thick and sturdy city walls can even make human fortress-type cities such as Bruglas ashamed. As for the art of fortifications, the dwarves in high mountain, such as the city defenses of Fir City Compared with one is not enough at all.
"Troglodyte is not without siege ability," he replied, "they are the first-level establishment of Gorgon Ravine, and they usually work together with another first-level establishment Bugbear."
"Bugbear?" Fern asked.
