Chapter Seventy-Seven: The denser the grass, the easier it is to cut
In the slender "exit" area of the "funnel", the horses are like a wall that limits the range of the horses—only about seven or eight meters away, which is too crowded for the wild beasts;
The consequence of crowding was naturally collision and trampling - the soldiers could see that about a dozen demonic beasts fell to the ground due to the collision, and were then trampled to death by their companions behind;
The effect is even more obvious, and it is the trap after trap that Eddie has ordered to leave in the passage;
In the first half of the passage, deep or shallow, wide or narrow pits await the monsters;
After the pit was dug up, Add had the soldiers cover it with dense branches and cover it with some sand, and the rampaging beasts couldn't see anything unusual in the ground, and plunged into it;
These traps effectively delayed the overall progress - even if the monsters in the rear detected the abnormality, they could not stop in a short time, and could only fill these traps with their bodies under the push of their companions further behind;
With a scream, the vanguard of the Darkcloud Pony finally passed through the first half of the passage;
But their nightmare is just beginning.
The three magic arrays located in the middle of the inner side of the defense line lit up with crimson light at the same time, and then they were launched one after another;
Without any aim, the target of the attack was the middle of the passage, and the Dark Cloud Pony was blown to the ground in the bursting heat as if they had hit a magic arrow, most of them were killed on the spot, and a few of them were silent after a few convulsions;
Even if the scene in front of him is so tragic, the dark cloud foal behind is still rushing forward "fearlessly";
Due to the narrow passage, the exploding Dark Cloud Pony could be seen being coerced forward by the team behind them, and the team behind had no idea what was happening in front of them!
After a short period of charging, the arrow moves slightly towards the target within the defensive line;
This detail is also emphasized by Add: if you keep blowing up one place, the monster corpses piled up by the Darkcloud Pony will get higher and higher than the Rejected Horse, and in this case, some of the Darkcloud Ponies may run out of the "funnel"!
In this way, the Darkcloud Pony charged towards the "dead ground" in front of him completely uncontrollably;
Due to their sheer numbers and the inability of their leaders to exercise effective command, the use of "death" as a metaphor for their current behavior could not be more appropriate!
Cang Song looked at the situation in the passage and couldn't help but be a little stunned;
Although Eddie had told him that "this tactic is going to work", it was a little too effective......
The continuous bombardment not only threw the corpses of those dark cloud foals away, but also dug a ravine into the ground;
The speed of the Darkcloud Pony slows further as it steps into the ground that has been pitted by the blasting, and this change in speed triggers a new round of crowding and stampede, and the team of monsters, which had been overflowing with pressure like a river, is now as unthreatening as a muddled stream;
Yes, they are still moving forward as a whole, but every step of the way comes at a great cost!
In the explosion of magic arrows and the terrible roar of demonic beasts, hundreds of demonic beasts disappeared at high speed like snowdrifts doused with hot water;
One by one, the Darkcloud Pony fell to the ground and was never able to get up again, while his companion in the back continued to charge, but after a few seconds he fell like his companion in front of him;
By the time they had reached about three-quarters of the way through, the line was completely out of shape.
Dead dark cloud ponies lined the road, the strange smell of burnt flesh in the air, and the blue and black exterior was even more unappetizing to look at when mixed with dirt;
What's even more critical is that at this moment, there are only a few dozen left in the team of Darkcloud Pony - that is, the last part;
At this point, they are finally able to distinguish the situation in front of them and make the right choice-
Run.
"Your Excellency...... Are we going to continue the pursuit......" The soldiers in charge of the magic array were stunned for a moment before someone spoke up to ask questions;
"No...... Not necessarily. "Cangsong didn't seem so quick to accept this clean victory beyond imagination;
There is really no need to pursue; even if one hit is accurate, most of those dark cloud horses are of the black iron rank; if you can't kill more than five horses at once, the pursuit will lose money;
Thinking of this, Cang Song realized something-he had only fired more than forty magic arrows just now, and there were definitely more than two hundred Dark Cloud Ponies killed at this moment!
Resisting the tide of beasts usually means huge property damage, and at this time...... Maple Town seems to have made a lot of money.
What's more, there were no casualties in the entire battle - not even a bruise!
Is it so simple to resist the tide of beasts?
After leaving behind hundreds of corpses, the tide of beasts came and went as fast as they could, and after the remnants of the Dark Cloud Pony disappeared into the forest, only a few undead creatures were left to neigh feebly in place;
Cangsong even forgot to send someone to clean up the battlefield for a while, and he, like the soldiers and adventurers, was immersed in this complete victory like a sweet dream;
The silence was soon broken by a clear sound—the sound of a soldier slapping himself in the face;
He was checking to see if he was dreaming.
"Won—won——! not a single monster has been put into the town——!!
Immediately, the front line boiled like a firecracker bucket thrown into Mars!
"We ...... Alive, alive——!"
"It's actually true - none of us are dead——!"
Soon, the soldiers remembered who had made all these plans—
"Long live Lord Add-"
"Thanks to Lord Addy!"
"Ahh......h
"Master Eddie is the benefactor of our entire Maple Town!"
"Fengzhen is blessed to meet a noble person like Master Eddie!"
Seeing the soldiers praising Eddie with joy, Pine also breathed a long sigh of relief - yes, thanks to Add;
The whole process was going the way he said it was, and no, there was a part that didn't work: Add had the soldiers set traps on the outside of the funnel to beware of the "slippery horses";
"We were wrong all along. "The most outstanding thing about Lord Eddie is that he realizes that he should 'guide' the flow of those demonic beasts, instead of blindly blocking and delaying time......"
"Yes...... Cangsong nodded, "There is no doubt that he saved Kaede Town." ”
"But...... Can't relax yet. Sharp Sword looked to the south side of the town;
Pine nodded and looked over the other side - according to Add's prediction, Baron Greywolf would lead the team to attack from the south......
