Heart of Empire Chapter 20: Assault

"Dane, are you okay?!" Saco stepped forward and asked.

Dane said: "What can I do? Why did you come here?"

"Just now, we heard a particularly violent vibration from the east in the camp. We don't know what happened. We are very worried about you, so I brought some people over to look. Over there... in the end What happened?"

Of course Dane knew what Shaco was talking about about the shock of the enemy, but he didn't intend to explain it in detail.

Seeing Sacco's curious face, Dane thought about it and decided to take him to have a look. He said: "I found something very extraordinary over there, please bring someone with me."

So, he returned to Oriento with Saco and more than 20 mercenaries.

Undoubtedly, such a huge monster shocked a group of bumpkins who had never seen the world.

"Holy Lord... this is a miracle!" Sako even half-kneeled on the ground, reciting the name of the Holy Lord. Although he has been reduced to a mercenary, he never forgets that he was once a knight. According to himself, he is a knight from the Holy Teresa Empire, one of the three great empires in the central part of the mainland, and a follower of Holy Lord Fran. As for why a follower of Holy Lord Fran, a knight, would become a mercenary, that's unknown, and he never mentioned it himself.

Looking at their shocked faces, Dane laughed rather wickedly. He said: "Now, this tree, and the tree that is being built, are ours! Those little blue elves - oh, I mean the sphere of light - are also my men, and now , our task is to protect this place!"

Dane originally planned to go back and bring some people over to protect the tree of life. Just met Sacco halfway, and that saved him the rest of the way.

Directly let the two mercenaries go together, go back to Ghost Knife Port, and report the situation to Golobo, Tommy and Delin who are staying at Ghost Knife Port. As for himself, Sacco, and the remaining 20 or so mercenaries, they are going to watch the night here today.

Fortunately, Sacco came out this time and brought some water and food. It's only for one night, so he won't be hungry.

……

I have to say that Dane's previous worries were quite reasonable. A tall and huge tree of life, suddenly rising from the original barren island, must be quite eye-catching, and will definitely attract a large number of monsters to attack.

When it is clear that there will be monsters on the island, vigil is essential. Otherwise, the tree of life, which has no self-defense ability, can uproot Dane, the rising capital, with only a few elves and a few monsters at random.

Sure enough, not long after the night fell, the first wave of attacks came. Dane became alert when there were some rustling sounds outside the venue. He woke everyone up from their slumber, and instead of choosing to attack recklessly, he chose a safer way: guarding the side of the tree of life, Aurelia, and waiting for the arrival of the enemy.

The only thing he worries about now is whether there will be too many enemies. At this moment, only Saco and the two teams of mercenaries were by his side and guarding Aurinadu with him. There are only twenty-five or six people in total. If they encounter a large army of Faceless Men like they encountered when they landed, and the number reaches more than thirty, the situation will become very serious.

Fortunately, such an unlucky thing did not really happen. The number of enemies did reach more than thirty, but they were not the faceless men they had seen earlier, but a group of black-skinned and hairless hyenas.

This kind of hyena is larger than the hyenas that can be seen all year round in Schindler's yellow land, but it is not particularly difficult to deal with. At least, a well-trained mercenary can definitely kill a mercenary in a one-on-one duel. Especially in the current situation, the number of mercenaries has reached more than 20, enough to form a battle formation to fight against those hyenas. And those black-skinned hyenas obviously don't have enough wisdom to decipher the human battle formation.

After making a rough estimate, Dane felt relieved. This battle, he is sure to win it with very low damage.

Those hyenas obviously did not have any particularly high intelligence as Dane expected. Relying on the greed and cunning brought by their instincts, they surrounded the heavily armed human mercenaries, showing their pale fangs from time to time, and occasionally uttering a low growl as a threat. They instinctively feel that these humanoid creatures wearing armor that they have never seen before are not very easy to deal with, but for these creatures with hot blood in their bodies, they have a kind of greed from instinct, as if It was as if a dog saw a bone and wanted to pounce on it and take a bite.

At first, the hyenas can suppress their greed. But as time dragged on, the instinct of desire broke through their original rationality. When the first hyena launched an impact on the mercenaries, the hyenas behind them all rushed up one by one.

"Baited! I know you **** can't help it! Hahaha!" Dane laughed and raised his saber ~IndoMTL.com~ and hacked to death the first hyena that charged up without any effort.

With the leader's personal demonstration, the mercenaries bravely killed the enemy one by one. The horror mercenaries are indeed a team that can run rampant in the southeastern region of Schindler. They have the discipline and training that most mercenary regiments do not have. During the battle, there was no confusion that usually occurs with mercenary regiments. Even if the momentum is high, the opponent is not a strong enemy. They still maintain a tight battle formation, form a group, and cover each other to kill the hyenas.

The advantage of the mercenary team over the black hyena is crushing. A single mercenary may only be able to kill a hyena one-on-one, but when there is discipline and tacit cooperation, it is natural to gain an advantage in the face of those stupid monsters who don't understand what cooperation is. Especially when Shako, who has a knight profession that is extremely rare among mercenaries, shouted, "Courage is always with me!" ’ Afterwards, a force from the heart surged to the limbs, making the mercenaries more able to fight the enemy bravely.

This is exactly the role of the knight profession. Not only does it have good combat effectiveness, but it also has a very powerful ability to boost morale and enhance the combat effectiveness of friendly forces. It's a pity that the wandering knight Shaco's strength level is still a bit low. Although the effect of "courage invigoration" is not bad, he has not mastered other stronger abilities.

However, this is enough. After shouting the oath, Shaco directly joined the battle with his sword and shield on his shoulders. Soon, this supposedly evenly matched battle turned into a one-sided massacre~IndoMTL.com~Welcome all readers to visit and read, the latest, fastest and hottest serial works are all here~IndoMTL.com~Mobile users please to read.
