Lord of the Oasis Chapter 149: .Tupac’s 0-man team
Tupac is exhausted.
Walking forward, step by step, but only felt that both legs were weakening.
The chainmail in the backpack and the two-handed battle axe on his shoulders are all reasons for his exhaustion, but the most important thing is his throat that breathes fire when he is thirsty, indicating that he needs drink water.
It has only drank 3 mouthfuls of water since it arrived in the southern part of the Nalen Desert, and 2 mouthfuls of it were still stinky urine.
When passing through the Devil's Land, its supplies are almost depleted.
All the water sacs in the backpack have been shriveled, even if they are bulging, they are filled with stinky urine, but only the water sacs filled with fresh water are not allowed to drink at all.
This is a water bladder that is only allowed to be drunk when launching a general attack.
They lack water.
So you can only use your life to seize the water source in the hands of the enemy.
A gesture of swallowing in the mouth.
But his throat was full of dry pain.
Because of the inability to take in enough water, Tupac's mouth has been unable to produce saliva, and even the sweat on his body has become very little, and even in the past two days, he found that he has stopped urinating.
This is a red flag.
If there is not enough water to hydrate the body, it will die of thirst.
As a member of the Fang family, Tupac once saw similar records in the family library, and those low-level gnolls who traveled through the Naron desert and the devil's land also worded the tragic consequences of water shortages .
Falled in the desert, scorched by the scorching sun into a mummified corpse.
Lucky to be buried in the desert.
Unlucky, it becomes food for other gnolls.
"No." Tupac spit out the word softly, struggled to continue walking, followed the comrades in front and continued to walk forward, but he was unwilling to die in such a humiliating way. Deeply educated by the brave, it would rather face thousands of enemies and die gloriously on the battlefield than be dried into mummified corpses or eaten as food like a low-level gnoll.
That's why it can hold on and keep moving forward.
And the most important reason.
As long as they reach the Sentinel Oasis, they'll have plenty of spring water to drink!
Sweet and clear spring water.
Tupac believes that his comrades who are marching in the shape of a long snake before and after him are persevering for this reason, otherwise when they see that the natural salt mine has not responded to the team, the tribe of low-level gnolls will become ruins , when there is only a puddle that is about to dry up, they will all fall into the state of mental breakdown.
But everyone's heart is still resentful.
Informed by the commander, they all knew that it was the humans who did it.
Destroy the corresponding advance team and the tribe of low-level gnolls, so that they are now in a desperate situation. If you don't use the two-handed battle axe to chop off the heads of those humans, the anger will not subside.
While thinking about it, Tupac suddenly noticed the queue in front of him stopped.
Everyone stops moving.
Climbing to the top of the dune, it stared blankly at the open space in front of it. A rectangular fortress is located in the oasis, with 4 arrow towers and square towers in between, and the whole body is made of stone and wood.
“Ow—”
There is a howl ahead, making Tupac shiver.
This is the howl of the commander, and the gnoll warriors of the entire expedition force woke up instantly. Resisting the feeling of thirst, they walked forward quickly, forming 4 squares of 500 people, and quickly He took off his linen robe, took out his chainmail from the rucksack behind him, and quickly put it on, holding a two-handed tomahawk, he once again became the invincible gnoll warrior who once fought on the coast of Mannheim.
Tupac is also wearing his mail, and has been re-covered with a linen robe.
Carrying a two-handed tomahawk in one hand, while howling in the language of the gnoll, the 99 gnoll warriors under his command quickly lined up behind him, waiting for the next order.
Tupac is the centurion of the Gnoll army.
It belongs to the subordinates commanded by the commander himself, and he is also the centurion who leads the troops and rushes to the front.
Only the most elite gnoll warriors can appear in this centurion.
And Tupac is not only powerful, but also a member of the three major families of the Graymane Kingdom, the Fang family, and is absolutely qualified to serve as the centurion of this elite centurion.
"Dong dong dong -- dong dong dong -- dong dong dong --"
Eager bells reverberate.
Tupac looked up at the fortress in the distance, his eyes swept across the city wall and the arrow tower, he could vaguely see human infantry, standing on it holding crossbows or bows, making demonstrations at them action.
"It was a massacre!"
Tupac howled in anger, raising his axe in both hands.
The centurion behind them also began to roar.
Even the entire gnoll army was roaring with angry howls.
This is anger at the weak provoking themselves.
Past experience has proven that as long as you climb the city wall and fight in close quarters, these humans are no match.
Even underage gnolls can defeat adult human sailors, not to mention that they are all battle-tested elite warriors who can easily kill several humans, even if they are not Get hurt!
“Ow—”
The howl of the commander came again, an order that only the gnoll troops could understand.
The entire unit moves towards the east wall.
Soon, Tupac, who was the first to charge, saw the southern part of the eastern city wall. The city gate made of wood and iron was appearing in front of him. There were also a large number of human soldiers defending it, but what do you think? , are like the last struggle, as if to surrender to the siege they are about to start.
"Drink water!"
Tupac roars loudly.
The only remaining water bladder in the rucksack was pulled out from behind, which contained clean fresh water from the Kingdom of Greymane.
The elite centurion behind it, and even the other gnoll centurions, were like this. They took out the water bladders and opened the plugs, and poured them into their throats. The power seems to be rushing up, and the bloodshot that is extremely eager to kill also slowly appears in the eyes.
“Ow—”
A neat wolf howl echoes in the throats of all the gnolls.
There is no way out.
Those who can't go back alive, their voices are tragic and decisive.
This is the wolf howl that is only issued during the death battle, and belongs to the sound of the ancestors of their race.
The blood begins to boil in the gnoll's body, and they are extremely sensitive to the smell of blood. They can't wait to enjoy the upcoming tragic battle.
"Charge!"
Tupac raised his battle axe in both hands, carried it on his shoulders, and walked forward with his centurion in an instant.
And getting faster and faster, almost running.
However, the formation of the centurion was not scattered. Three rows of gnolls formed a rectangular formation. They carried tomahawks in both hands and quickly followed Tupac, the centurion. come closer.
The bloodlust in his eyes is also getting stronger.
They all knew there was a lake under the west wall, but no one told them.
Even if their throat is thirsty, they still don't know that there is a water source there, they can drink it, they can survive, and they can relieve their current extreme thirst.
Because they all know.
During a siege, such a lake is equivalent to a moat, because they have abandoned all the siege equipment after crossing the desert, and it is impossible for them to attack the humans on the city wall after passing through the moat.
That's the dumbest choice.
Only with a two-handed battle axe and smashing that city gate can they truly survive!
"Roar-"
Tupac roars, his mouth full of sharp teeth terrifying.
The centurion behind it followed closely, holding the tomahawk tightly in both hands. As long as they reached the city gate, their battleaxes made of fine iron could swing with their own mighty power. Next, the city gate was chopped into pieces.
It's getting closer and closer to the city gate.
Five hundred meters.
Three hundred meters.
100 meters.
Ten meters.
Fifty meters.
But at this moment, there was a sudden "hum" in Tupac's ears.
Look up and look forward.
At first glance, a rain of arrows instantly covered the top of the city wall in an arc and covered the sky like a torrential rain. The dense arrows and crossbow arrows came almost instantaneously, and finally enveloped them all.
"How is it denser than the Lizardmen's crossbow arrows..."
Some doubts popped into Tupac's head. It had seen arrow rain, but it was definitely not the case.
The Lizardmen like to use crossbows in conjunction with their phalanx of spears ~IndoMTL.com~ It is definitely not like this is falling from the sky like a rainstorm.
But Tupac couldn't continue to think at all, because a brown conical arrow had been shot into its eye socket and pierced directly at its neck, destroying its head and spine.
Now it has fallen to the ground, just like the ancestors of the Fang family, and died in a glorious battle.
Just around here.
The elite centurions that were originally honorable have all fallen.
All of them fell miserably to the ground in front of the rain of arrows.
It is covered in white arrow feathers.
On the surrounding sandy ground, countless feathered arrows and crossbow arrows were inserted obliquely, like flowers for the funeral of this elite centurion, appearing in this sentry oasis in the Nalen Desert.
With the eerie coquettishness of death, it blooms through the corpses of living beings.
"Roar..."
The gnoll troops in the rear were silent, watching the strongest elite centurion, not even approaching the city gate.
The sudden death was unexpected for all the gnolls.
Invariably.
Some gnoll brains with more experience think of the arrow rain of the elves.
Have never seen it, but heard it.
It's that dense.
It just doesn't make sense.
With the most violent rain of arrows, shoot down any enemy who dares to appear in front of you.
"Roar-"
The commander uttered a long howl of general attack in rage. This decisive command tone made all the centenarians instantly understand the thoughts of their commander. Even if the entire army was killed in battle, they had to climb on their corpses. Go up to the city walls of human beings, slaughter all the human beings inside, and use the blood of those cowardly people who only know how to guard the city walls to pay homage to their fallen comrades-in-arms!
This is a siege battle that can no longer be turned back, and can only be fought with gritted teeth!
