Chapter 538: Street Fight (3)

The elven sentinels are the ace troops among the elves, if according to their status, they are like the status of berserkers among the Scandinavians, without blood, without talent, and without people cannot join it.

Now, an elven sentry is hiding in the shadows of the ruins, dressed in white, allowing her to blend in with the blizzard environment, difficult to spot with her eyes.

With a very slow and very stealthy movement, he pulled the bowstring in his hand, aimed at the patrol that was taking place on the street corner, and moved slowly and cautiously, beware of the sneaking gnolls.

The sound of the blade piercing the flesh was drowned out by the blizzard, and the gnoll who was walking at the front, with an arrow stuck in his forehead, stared at the sky with godless eyes, and his body fell to the ground without strength.

The surrounding gnolls did not come forward to check, but scattered nervously, looking for nearby buildings or bunkers that could cover their bodies, this was not the first time that such an attack had occurred, and after paying many lives, they had also learned how to dodge the elves' attacks.

Useful?

It is indeed useful, but it is not very useful, the elven sentries are excellent archers, and they can easily shoot a leaf a hundred meters away with their bows and arrows.

The archery skills of throwing arrows, beaded arrows, etc., are the skills that the elves must master, and just a second before the gnolls want to disperse and hide, three long arrows hit the hearts of each of the three gnolls, and they burst out and take their lives.

There were two other gnolls left, and they threw down their weapons in a panic, and moved as fast as they could into the distance on all fours, trying to escape the elves' shots.

It's naïve...... Arrows fell from the sky and pinned them to the ground at the same time, and bright red blood slowly flowed from under them, staining the snow on the ground red.

This kind of thing happened in various parts of Upland City, and the elven sentinels who made full use of their strengths turned into the grim reaper who roamed the streets and alleys, constantly reaping the lives of the gnolls.

It's not that the gnolls don't want to gather together to search and attack in dense formations, but when they do, the elves will use magic scrolls extravagantly, or a chain of lightning, or a large fireball, to drown them out.

It's just a magic scroll, and the defending army of Uppland, which has received support from the Scandinavian Empire and the Baltic Empire, can still afford to waste it.

Well, as long as you can get the results and delay the Attila army in this area, then it's not a big deal to just use some magic scrolls.

A wyvern patrolling the sky, their sharp eyes clearly saw that this group of gnolls had been killed by archers who did not know where to hide, but they only dared to hover in the air, not daring to approach.

He knew that the enemy, the elven sentry that had caused all this, was in ambush around here, and not seeing her didn't mean she had left the area.

After this period of fighting, the wyverns are convinced of one thing, that is, if they don't pull a few low-altitude to find the enemy, to destroy and kill the enemy, then the end result will be that they will be shot down by the elves' bows and arrows, fall to the ground and become meat sauce, or be decapitated by the berserker who does not know how to jump out of that shadowy corner.

Boom, boom, boom

The sudden explosion attracted the attention of the flying dragon, and when he looked up, in the direction of the north, a sea of fire was burning, and some ant-sized figures were quickly fleeing in the opposite direction of the sea of fire, but they were either swallowed by the sea of fire, or they were cored by the thunderbird in the sky with magic.

The counterattack carried out by the casters of the Atila Army is a carpet bombardment like this, they don't need to find where the enemy is, they don't need to pay attention to whether the enemy is hidden under the ruins, they just need to use magic to blast everything, whether it is the ruins or the intact houses, into the sky.

At a time when the flying troops did not dare to reduce their altitude, and the army represented by the Gnolls was making slow progress, the spellcasters in the Attila army could be said to be the only troops that could achieve results.

Although the bombing effect was very limited, the speed of advance was very slow, and the results were not very good, it was a real process of encroaching on the Scandinavians' defense zone and compressing the area of activity in which they could survive and resist.

When even the ruins are gone, when the only bunker that can hide their bodies is blown into the sky, the elven sentinels who have nowhere to hide on the plains are not much different from ordinary archers.

Elven sentinels can only use their abilities and play their strengths in places such as complex terrains, such as forests and cities.

Would the Scandinavians watch the casters of the Atila Army eat away at their advantage bit by bit, erasing the last bit of ruins of the city called Upland from the map?

The Attila army had spellcasters, as did the Scandinavian armies, and the spellcasters in Upland had not yet had time to overload their spells because the walls had been breached so quickly that day.

Although it has been proved that on the frontal battlefield, they are not yet the opponents of the Atila army, and they cannot even confront and delay, but at night, under the cover of night, they still went from hiding to the place where they were bombed by the enemy during the day.

Without much magic or complicated preparation, the Scandinavian spellcasters simply used the existing materials and used the magic of [turning mud into stone] to reconstruct some chaotic buildings on the ground.

Although the effect of this approach is very limited, it really delays the enemy's progress and creates many good opportunities for his companions.

There were no dwarves on the battlefield, and neither in the previous battles nor in the current street battles, the dwarves had not taken up arms and fought the enemy.

According to Zygmund, the value of a dwarf is not how many enemies they kill on the battlefield with weapons, but how many weapons they build and how many tools they repair in the rear, and it can be said that only in the blacksmith shop is where the dwarves are playing their role.

In a room in the underground waters, insulated from sound and temperature, dwarves sweat and recraft weapons they have collected from the battlefield.

The charcoal used to burn is the high-quality charcoal provided by the Baltic Sea, which increases the hardness and sharpness of the crafted weapon, and the caster next to it prepares the magic, which they attach as soon as the weapon begins to shape.

The dwarves are now building arrows, and the casters are also enchanting arrows, and with a powerful guerrilla force like the Elven Sentinels, crafting arrows is undoubtedly the most cost-effective.

After all, it is difficult to kill a dragon with the same material and the same magic to create a weapon, but if it is made into the shape of an arrow and shot at the dragon by an elven sentinel, it has a great chance of hitting the opponent's vital parts.

Because of the airtightness of the room and the magic attached to the walls to insulate the temperature, the environment here is very hot, and if it weren't for the smell of sulfur, no one would think it was wrong to think of it as a volcano.

Only these races, accustomed to living underground near lava, can tolerate such an environment, if it is an ordinary unprotected human, it is estimated that after staying for a few minutes, they will lose consciousness and become dehydrated.

What about the above, where the enemy advanced, how many people were lost in the army, and how many enemies were killed

Even in such an environment, the dwarves are extremely concerned about these messages, but they also know that no matter how much they care, it will not help, and concentrating on creating qualified equipment with a faster speed is the most important thing, and it is the best support for the companions who are fighting above.

"Hurry up, hurry up, put these things on it. ”

A dwarf, dressed in a different costume than the dwarves around him, stood on top of a chest and spoke loudly, directing the other dwarves to place bundles of arrows on top of a small cart.

"Today we killed two more white dragons and one black dragon. ”

Pushing a cart full of arrows, the dwarf left the place with these words, and he needed to get them to the front-line warriors as quickly as possible.

The dwarves' voices were drowned out by the clanging of iron, but the dwarves who were working could hear them clearly, and they worked harder, because even if they did not kill the enemy with their own hands or see the death of the enemy with their own eyes, they also felt that the work carried out in their hands was meaningful, that it could bring them victory, and that it could bring them hope of victory.

Compared to the happy Scandinavians, who have a master blacksmith like the dwarves to prepare weapons and ammunition for them, the Attila army is very cold.

Iron weapons?

That's something that can only be used by people above the captain level.

Ammunition made of metal?

Don't think about it, such a luxury thing, in the current Atila army, only the White Bear people who are the pro-guard army are left, and the hands of other troops are exhausted as early as the first day of siege.

Not to mention iron, even wooden ones were difficult to spread among the Atila army, and due to the fortified clearing of the walls that Siegmund had carried out near Upland, they even had to transport a piece of wood from the rear.

Some people may think, isn't there a lot of materials in a city as big as Upplan?

Well, the premise of those who think this way is to take into account the fire that swept through the whole of Upland before, and now the wood in the city has long since turned into charcoal or ashes.

As a result, the weapons that could be used by Attila's army became stone and bone, the former being not inferior in sharpness to metal weapons, but slightly lacking in hardness.

The latter, although it looks very rustic, and the quality is not even as good as that of stone, but if it is used to make arrows, it is not much of a problem to shoot through flesh and blood.

Relying on such rudimentary weapons, the Gnolls also inflicted certain losses on the Scandinavians after paying a lot of casualties, with air support and numerical superiority, even if they are still pressed and beaten, it does not mean that they are unable to fight back.

The original sensitive sense of smell is not working?

The strength of the team has been weakened to the extreme in such a complex environment?

The weapons in your hands are ugly and rudimentary, and there is no way to compare them with the enemy?

These problems are not a problem in the eyes of the gnolls, especially after Hogg extended the wolf pack tactics to the entire gnoll clan.

Near the group of gnolls who had been killed by the elven sentries with a crisp blow, several other groups of gnolls were rapidly approaching the area, and by observing the location and appearance of the fallen corpses of the gnolls, as well as the location of the arrows, they could roughly delineate the location of the attackers.

After that, the numerical advantage was brought into play at this time, the carpet search, the real carpet search, several teams of jackals scattered, in the area that had been demarcated, searching.

At this time, the hidden elf didn't dare to make a move, because continuing to shoot would only increase the probability and possibility of revealing her position, let alone escaping, when the figure was discovered, it was absolutely impossible for her to get rid of the hordes of gnolls in such an environment.

Thankfully, this was on the battlefield rather than hunting alone in the forest, and the other elf used a projectile method to attack the searching gnolls to draw their attention.

The reason why it is a projectile is because it is difficult to find the place where the arrow was shot, through the wounds on the corpse, the direction in which the corpse fell, and the angle of the wound.

The deaths of their companions have proven that if the gnolls are allowed to continue their search, they will lose a companion again, and the corpses of their dead companions who have been boiled in a cauldron have already made them deeply aware of it.

The current advantage is only a temporary advantage, even if they can achieve a ratio of 1:100 to convert to the enemy, the final result will not change.

Besides, Siegmund never gave them the order to kill the gnolls, he told the elves to focus on the dragons flying in the sky, and when the Attila army lost the support of the flying troops, the Scandinavians hiding in the underground tunnels would be in the ruins of the city, making the gnolls realize how terrible the Scandinavian warriors were when they could not tell them how to move.
