Chapter 96 Night Attack
To the west of the Triangle Plain, in the forest at the intersection of the prairie and the Qiaogor Mountains, an army of ten thousand people hid in the dense forest, either hiding in shrubs or backing against huge rocks, keeping quiet and not daring to make any sound.
A black shadow flew over the forest and soon disappeared.
"The enemy scout is gone, keep moving forward," a middle-aged man with a commander looks out of the hiding bush, brushing away the caterpillar stuck to his body, while looking at the direction of the harp's distant.
The closer you get to the triangle plain, the stronger the enemy's reconnaissance. Fortunately, there are spellcasters in the team that maintain Hawkeye's magic at all times, which allows the team to discover the enemy in time and then hide in advance.
I hope to complete the task smoothly and lead the team to meet with the commander.
Baron of Dana Kingdom - Longfellow David thought of this.
“Continue to go.”
The commander waved his hand, and the veteran with rich combat experience remained silent and kept up with the team.
The things prepared by the empire were all contained in a dimensional bag. The soldiers carried only spears, long swords, wooden shields, armor with iron inlaid on military leather, rations for several days, and a military water bag, which could be called light-loading.
The deputy walked through the crowd and came to the temporary commander of the team: "Sir, the soldiers' water bags are about to be exhausted, so they need to replenish their drinking water in time."
Longfellow looked at the soldiers beside him and frowned when he saw the dry lips.
The amount of water stored in the water bag is limited. With the two-day long-distance marching of the underground world, the soldiers' drinking water can last until now, which is the result of his order to save water.
He took out the map, found the nearest river on the map, and looked up at the sun that was about to set west.
"Continue to move forward and there is water ahead."
Longfellow was very cautious. After arriving at the water source, he waited for half an hour. When the sky was completely dark, he allowed the soldiers to step onto the grassland with wide vision and come to the small river on the grassland to replenish drinking water.
The scattered rivers and rainwater on these grasslands are the guarantee of the survival of the grassland natives, and people and livestock drink this water.
There is no need to worry about being poisonous. Some thirst is aroused. After the soldiers observed the shallow river water and thought that nothing was hidden, they buried their heads directly in the river. Gululu drank a full drink.
"Huh?! There is a fishman there! It is looking at us!" A soldier pointed to the distance.
The pool under the moonlight in the distance is sparkling, and a fishman reveals his head to the water? Watch from afar.
Longferro frowned slightly? Then he stretched out. Are fishmen so common? Rivers, lakes, seas, wherever there is water? These guys are more or less visible.
……………………………………
In the second half of the night? Jose received the message from Cassie through contacting his family and found traces of the Dana people thirty kilometers west of the Triangle Plain.
"Very good!"
Although the number of grassland natives is as high as 70,000 and continues to advance towards the triangular plain, Jose has never taken them seriously? Because he knows these natives well-known? Knowing that they do not pose too much threat to him.
The Danas army is different. It is a strong brigade who has experienced the training of war and is well-equipped, and it is very likely that it has the trump card that the Danas are ready to use to deal with themselves.
Such an army was hidden in the dark, and Jose could not sleep peacefully.
But if you find the enemy's position and get the corresponding preparation? The threat from the Dana people is not that great.
On the Kingsoft, he closed his eyes and thought about whether to go and say hello to Dana in person.
After thinking about it, Jose gave up this idea. He didn't know what trump card Dana prepared? He went to go rashly and bet on his life.
Let the army deal with it.
He calculated the location of Dana people? He found that at the speed of the Wolf Cavalry? He could arrive in four hours? After arriving, he rested for half an hour, and there was still about an hour of attack before dawn.
In the dark forest, the blind Dana people faced the fierce zombie wolf cavalry.
This is simply a massacre!
"Hog! A new prey has appeared!"
In the werewolf camp, the werewolf leader Hog Hezha woke up from his sleep when he heard his master's call. His eyes were flashing with an excited green light and were full of energy.
There was no need to blow the whistle, he raised his head.
Aww~!
The howling of the wolf dragged a long tail sounded, and the werewolf around him woke up from his dream, and the howling of the wolf was also awakened. The wolf in the beast clan was also awakened. The howling of the wolf echoed in the underground space.
A moment later, wolves running wildly were running out from several expanded exits of the Modo Peak Forest Underground Kingdom.
The werewolf and wolf cavalry ran and walked forward in the jungle, keeping quiet throughout the journey, so quiet that only the wolf's panting and the crackling sound of stepping on the branches.
If someone sees this scene here, they will feel very cold. It is not the coldness that stimulates the skin to have goose bumps, but the chill that takes away the inner temperature. The green eyes move quickly and silently in the forest, like ghosts in the dark night.
It is not easy to train a chaotic zombie to this point, but Jose did it.
In the division of racial labor of the monsters in Modo Peak Forest, the racial positioning of the zombies is warriors, and most male zombies will be selected to be soldiers. They do not have to engage in production, but only need to conduct combat training.
These well-trained gnoll warriors, after layers of selection, selected one in ten, became a gnoll wolf cavalry reserve. The reserves have passed a series of strict assessments, force, psychological qualities, etc. before they can officially become a glorious gnoll wolf cavalry.
Among many monster armies, the resources obtained by the Gnoll Wolf Cavalry is second only to the casters and ogres.
They all wore standard hard leather armor made of yak leather, with a steel knife suitable for chopping hanging on the belt around their waists, and a longbow and a quiver full of arrows behind them. In addition, they also carried a small bag of jerky to replenish their strength.
……………………………………………
In the second half of the night, in the forest, the Dana people were resting.
Because they were worried about being discovered, they did not even dare to get fire and did not take off their clothes. Several people lie together on the grass in the forest. The forest was very damp and some dew was condensed on the leather armor.
Fortunately, these people are veterans who have been through the battlefield for a long time, and after another day of marching, they can fall asleep.
But there were also a small number of people who did not rest, and they were soldiers responsible for the night watch.
"Ah~ Qiu!" On the edge, a soldier sneezes and shook his head and continued to stare at the darkness.
As an elite scout, even after a day of marching, he was called to perform the vigil mission in the second half of the night after sleeping, he could still remain focused and have no complaints, because although the scout was hard, he received a higher reward.
In fact, in the dark, people's eyes do not work much, and night watchers are alert to the fact that they rely more on hearing around them.
However, the gnoll has a sharper hearing.
In the distance, the great commander of the werewolves, Hog Hezha, moved his ears, and he realized that this was the sound of human beings sneezing, and understood that he was not far from his target.
"Get closer! Don't make any noise!" He instructed his subordinates behind him.
As we got closer, the werewolf smelled the human smell from the night wind.
God-given opportunity, they are at the bottom of the wind.
Hog turned to the high-level zombie secret wizard beside him: "God of Mosa, please check it out and see what the enemy has made."
Mosa Mopi didn't say much. Her mouth, which was so old that her fangs fell off, chanted a low spell. A green eyeball appeared out of thin air, floating in the darkness that sank into the forest.
Not long after, the high-level zombie secret mage opened his eyes and spoke solemnly: "Master Hog, the enemy is very cautious. Not only did he arrange more than a dozen scattered night watchmen, but he also buried some traps in the forest, including magic traps, and the enemy also has spellcasters."
"His Excellency Mosa, can you find a breakthrough?" Hogheiyi asked.
The sneak attack in the night is the specialty of the zombie wolf cavalry. If it is not necessary, he does not want to give up this advantage.
The high-level werewolf secret mage shook his head: "It's hard. In the dark, I can't guarantee that I can discover all the traps. Moreover, doing so is time-consuming and magical. I'm afraid it won't affect the battle later."
If you can't attack sneakily, you can only attack for force.
Hog was still full of confidence. It was simply a one-sided roll to deal with enemies without [Dark Vision] in the dark. The last time he dealt with the Frost Axe Barbarian had proved this.
With the help of the advanced zodiac secret mage, Hog formulated an offensive plan, intending to surround the enemy and launch an attack from the west, south and north with fewer traps. In the east of the enemy, that is, in the direction of the triangle plain, there are too many traps, and Hog personally led the elite troops to guard it.
If the enemy collapses and escapes from the east, hehe.
As soon as he thought of this, Hogg couldn't help licking his lips, and he wanted to give his master an absolute victory.
Blade out of the sheath!
Silently, the werewolf completed the siege of the enemy and sent thieves to assassinate the exposed night watchman, and then kept tightening the encirclement, with arrows already on the strings.
In the bush, a night watchman was hiding well. He saw pairs of dense green eyes appearing in the dark, like falling into the ice cellar, and a chill rushed straight from the soles of his feet to his forehead.
Gnoll!
There is also a wolf!
The night watch soldier swallowed his saliva. At the same time, he smelled a scent of blood that dispersed, and immediately realized that some of his companions had been dealt with by the enemy.
If you can kill your companions quietly, you can also kill yourself.
He knew that both werewolves and wolves had dark vision, and darkness had little effect on them. The only reason why he was not assassinated was the obstruction of lush shrubs.
If you call the police, your location will be exposed and you will be attacked immediately. If you don’t even know the enemy’s location, you will most likely die on the way back to the base camp.
The soldier struggled violently and quickly made up his mind.
Even if you don’t call the police, you will die when the enemy approaches. If you call the police, a reward will be indispensable. If you die, your family will receive a pension that is beyond the norm. If you don’t die, you will make a big profit.
The terrain behind him appeared in his mind, and the escape route was roughly prepared.
"Enemy attack!"
The moment he called the police loudly, he jumped out of the bush and rolled and hid behind a big tree not far away.
Sure enough, when he just jumped up, the hiding bush was shot by a sobbing arrow, and there were at least ten arrows.
He didn't have time to care about this, and he broke out and ran back with all his might. As long as he escaped back to his own camp twenty meters away, he would have the possibility of survival.
Click ~.
This was the sound of the trigger being pulled, which came less than ten meters beside him. The night watchman was shrouded in endless chills, and then he felt a tingling pain in his temple.
It's over.
His consciousness fell into eternal darkness.
Not far from the soldier's body, a werewolf thief who appeared in a stealth state took back his crossbow, feeling annoyed. He didn't expect that there were two night watchmen hidden in such a close place. In addition, the smell of humans was everywhere, and the sense of smell was also disturbed, so he did not find it.
Without too much thought, I hang the slow-filled crossbow back to my waist, remove the short bow, and shoot the enemy who wakes up and starts to act.
With so many people crowded together, there was almost no need to aim, and the enemy could not see themselves, which allowed the gnolls to shoot boldly.
Gnolls in other directions also began to shoot. Although they are wolf cavalry, shooting is also one of their daily training programs.
The beginning is like Hogg's plan, the enemy who was raided had almost no power to fight back and suffered heavy losses, which proves the wailing sounds of the large number of wounded people.
But what happened next was a little beyond his expectations.
Not only did the enemy not collapse, they gathered together under the command of the commander, blocked with shields based on obstacles, and allowed the casters in layers of protection to use light to illuminate the surrounding battlefield and rely on obstacles to launch a counterattack.
Hogg realized that this group of enemies was not ordinary, so he took a twelve-point spirit to observe the situation.
Although the enemy began to fight back, the werewolves still had a huge advantage. The enemy was within the range of light techniques, in the light, and the gnollies were waiting for themselves in the dark, but using arrows could kill the enemy.
But unfortunately, the number of arrows the gnoll carries is limited.
Soon, a pot of arrows shot out.
All the gnolls ride on the horde of the wolf, holding military-level steel swords, looking at the enemy camp that is defensive in the turtle shell.
Looking up at the sky, it was the darkest moment before dawn. Hogg realized that he had to end the battle as soon as possible. The enemy's defensive battle obviously wanted to drag until dawn to wait for his sight to recover.
Ao Wow!
The high howling of wolfs filled with murderous aura sounded, and the wolf soldiers and the wolf responded one after another. The continuous howling of wolfs gathered together, echoing in the Qiaogor Mountains in the dark night, and the enemies in the encirclement felt endless chills.
The howling of the wolf is the horn of the general attack!
"Mr. Mosa! Come and deal with the enemy's spellcaster! Leave the others to me!"
"I understand!" The high-level werewolf secret mage stared at the light emitting light from the enemy's head, driving the wolf under his crotch, following Hog, and magical energy gathered in his hands.
Holding the axe given by his master, Hogg gently waved at the enemies in the encirclement, and a large number of werewolves surrounding him drove the wolf up.
Chapter completed!
