The Amber Sword: Act 26 Expansion (7)

The twenty-sixth act expansion (seven)

Amandina put her hands on her chest, silently watching more and more figures walking in the forest. Since entering Moon of Hoar Frost, although the first snow of Aouine's is still some days away, the night temperature already becomes very low. A thin layer of white gas that everyone oozed out in the cold air shrouded the logging field to form a cloud. After the female wall, the soldiers *** set off to resist the cold. The cold silence at night brought a hint of killing and tension. .

Almost all Mercenarys are on the wooden wall. There is no reserve team --. Although Jutta and Kalun strongly oppose it, Brando told her personally that it is not necessary, then it is the truth for this damsel.

"What to do in case of an emergency? This is the practice of putting everyone at risk!"

When answering the indignant question of the female Commander, Amandina somehow suddenly came up with a playful thought from her heart; she thought that if Brando lied to her, she would become an Spectre after she died and would also haunt that youngster.

This sudden thought scared her, and even a touch of ruddy permeated her face, and she was slightly hot. She shouted out one breath and shook her head seriously to drive the idea out of her head.

But Jutta blushed as if looking at this damsel, then shook her head and gave her an answer lightly: "This is the -- ordered by Lord Thane." Lost his goodwill to the other side.

This irresponsible answer made Jutta unable to turn around and left, and went to visit the one's own under the anger. Before leaving, she still scolded herself in a self-righteous noble, but if it was before, she must be Speak such words on the face of Amandina instead of on the back.

In fact, she didn't even realize that they had been affected by Brando's. Because she thought about it the other way, at least she no longer objected to such a one-time investment.

Since it was that youngster's order, it must have his reason.

With the same thought, Kalun also stopped opposing. It was just that he looked back and saw a smile on the dark face of the tall Fire Ground Battlegroup Head Commander, and the silver-haired middle-aged man froze.

"Did you know?" He instinctively developed a sense of alertness when he asked.

But Fern seems to see through the thoughts of this scheming old fox, he smiles indifferently *** Nose: "That little girl is calmer than you and me, you think she will be messy command Person? Here is the young Lord Thane who can move her with command ... "

"You are observant." Kalun snorted.

"Every one another." Fern flashed the thought in his mind, but did not say it. There is a seasoned mercenary around him who estimates the number of Troglodyte in the forest every a period of time. He just silently listened to the sound of the same count and said nothing.

Troglodyte soon became already thousands, they are moving in the forest, causing everyone's alert.

The stars on the night are fickle, but time has finally passed the first two hours after midnight. At first Amandina finally got downwind when fighting with tiredness and the weird problems of Romaine, but just as she blinked her sleepy eyes and wanted to suppress a yawn, she heard a series of unusual sounds.

That's the sound of the surrounding mercenaries holding the crossbow in his hand.

Our damsel immediately hit a thriller. She saw that Troglodyte in the forest finally got raises head. They lined up and out of the forest. -- and the queue were lifted by one or two Bugbear every other distance Huge wooden shield covering.

"Are there siege appliances?"

The voice of Mercenary asking each other was passed on the city head.

"No!"

"I don't see it!"

scout's voice was immediately passed back from the tower. Everyone almost sighed in relief, "adult guessed -- again" Amandina stood behind the female wall and thought as usual.

Troglodyte began to accelerate at a distance of about 150 yards. Looking from the wooden wall, they just started to trot, but the sea surface already formed by a giant wooden shield flowed.

One hundred yards.

Fifty yards.

At this moment, Jutta issued a shooting order in unison with Fern and Kalun. When hundreds of bows and crossbones at the same time were released, they trembled everybody's ears, and everyone saw dense crossbow formations. A translucent white line swept away -- like a blade.

The blade swept across the Troglodyte formation. About two or three rows of Underground creature simultaneously were lagging behind. Troglodyte and Bugbear simultaneously rolled over, and a clear gap appeared immediately in the complete formation.

But everyone understands that the real lethality of the crossbow to Troglodyte is only known by God. Before they could reach the second crossbow, they saw a crowd of people coming from behind to fill the gap in front.

Almost a moment, Troglodyte successively killed already under the wooden wall around the logging yard.

The wooden wall is composed of four layers of logs, and the soil is filled between each two layers. For a logging yard to build such a fortification, three Head Commanders once thought that Troglodyte was a waste of raw materials; when Bugbears held wooden shields When they came up, they began to regret this idea.

Those bulky creature took huge steps with their body and hit the weight of the wooden shield together, and the wooden wall immediately made a sound of tooth ache. The logs in some places even began to tilt backward -- You need to know that these logs are Was penetrated deeply into the ground for nearly a third of its length.

Everyone hears the sound of squeak on the wooden wall under their feet, which is frightening. In contrast, those Troglodyte who stepped on the wall with their strong hind legs and stepped on the wooden shield were harmless to humans and animals.

mercenaries politely kicked these uninvited guests off the wooden wall, but Troglodyte's attack was obviously not finished, and soon the mercenary screamed on the wall:

"They are digging tunnels!"

Tiger Sparrow let Amandina get some retreat, then the Lopes mercenary's Captain propped up on the female wall and looked down at --. He really saw that under the cover of the wooden shields raised high by Bugbear, Troglodytes was flying fast The speed of digging the soil -- is astonishingly fast, worthy of the title of Underground nation.

But there is no fire oil in the logging field, and even the stones are pitifully small. mercenaries tries to throw away the logs. Unfortunately, these `` alders '' have no effect on the powerful Bugbear.

Fortunately, they have plans. Some people immediately left the city in accordance with the original plan and withdrew from the side of the trench dug in the afternoon.

The trenches were dug to deal with the tunnels of Troglodyte. According to the instructions of Brando's, each one was several meters deep, so when Troglodyte spent nearly half an hour digging through the first tunnel, the Troglodyte who walked in the front was immediately pushed down by the bottom of the ditch.

These Troglodytes are not without a confused. They are trying to tell what is going on with subconsciously raises head, but they are waiting for human spears. Although the Troglodyte has outstanding fighting power, in the face of more than a dozen spears, only the end of the hedgehog was stabbed.

After losing dozens of people, Troglodyte realized that the road was not working. So they had to go back and choose a more direct and rude way. The mercenaries on the wooden wall of -- soon found it ugly:

These guys are starting to take the ladder!

This is an effective method, the only drawback is that they have to abandon the huge Bugbear in the army. -- those Bugbear squatted at the bottom of the ladder, raised the wooden shield and set up a platform -- for Troglodyte so that they could easily reach the outer wall edge of the wooden fortress.

"Net!" After Amandina found out this situation, eyebrow immediately raised his voice and shouted immediately.

The orders of Kalun and Fern around her immediately conveyed the order, and the orders on the wooden wall outside the logging yard were rising one after another. For the next moment, the giant nets that are built up by wooden shelves are supported by mercenaries, and they are extended out of the city wall, covering the Troglodyte downwards like a huge beat.

The net is simply woven from oil ropes. This thing and the wooden piles that make up the outer frame of the net are all taken locally, and are everywhere in the logging field. This simple net gear looks absolutely ridiculous in a battle between humans and humans, but it is effective for the Troglodyte who is not good at siege.

Troglodytes was climbing up and coping with these difficult net gears, but mercenary was able to stand high and spare no effort. The Underground creature, which launched a strong attack, quickly suffered huge losses.

Seeing this scene, Jutta and the other three couldn't bear the tut tut's surprise, simple but effective, different from the tactics of most regular army; this is not like the method that noble or a Knight should come up with, it is more like them These mercenary's 'emergency strategies' --, but Correct's young Thane had previously ordered 'plan of the enemy', which surprised them a bit, but they did not know that players had been in the past game large and small wars, The most invented are these whimsical 'skills'.

With simple gear, mercenaries repelled Troglodyte several times in a row. However, the footsteps of the battle inevitably entered into the white-hot stage. After all, the large nets woven by oil ropes were not unbreakable. As more and more Troglodyte broke through the barriers, the battle over the wooden walls finally began to see blood.

For the first time, humans have suffered losses, and the number of casualties is rapidly increasing. In frontal battles, Troglodyte's single combat strength advantage gradually emerged.

mercenary step by step retreat, as more and more Troglodyte flooded the city, they found that the previous advantage was no longer existence, or even worse, the defenders in many places have been kicked out. The creature from the Gorgon Ravine underground seems to be at any time. To break through.

Although they are not good at siege, the number advantage already covers all defects.

The sweaty Kalun and Fern set their sights on Amandina at the same time. They know that the only key to turn the tide at this moment may be this damsel. Of course, if she didn't act, then they would use the one's own method to end the battle.

The two Commanders made the same decision at the same time.
