Chapter 223: Encirclement

Sebastian didn't care about the stream, it hadn't rained much lately, and it was normal for the mountain stream to dry up quickly.

Just as the fish were eating their breakfast, without exception, kelp dumplings, a row of sharp arrows suddenly flew out of the grass, and the two sentinels on the periphery fell to the ground.

The fishmen who had just nibbled on two mouthfuls of kelp dumplings suddenly jumped up from the ground and formed a defensive formation in the woods, and the fishmen in charge of guarding rushed towards the place where the arrows were shot.

A short time later, the fishmen returned with a few archery traps to return to Sebastian.

And the unfortunate fish-man who was shot by the arrow has already died of foaming at the mouth, and the arrow is obviously poisonous.

The alert was lifted, but many fishmen had already fallen to the ground after two bites of kelp dumplings, and they were stepped on for an unknown number of feet, obviously unable to eat.

What makes Sebastian better than Bob is that he knows how to find food in the forest. Although it is a bit difficult to feed the 4,000 fishmen, it is still okay for everyone to drink a sip of hot soup.

However, at the thought that there was no water source nearby, Sebastian could only pout, and it seemed that the soup was not drinkable.

Moreover, digging wells in the field is a technical job, and sometimes water cannot be dug up from a distance of a few meters.

Sebastian considered that Bob and the others had been exposed to the elves, and there was no need for him to move forward in stealth any longer.

Elves and Bob have fought until now, and it is estimated that Bob and they have no reinforcements. Then when his side suddenly arrives, it will definitely surprise the elves.

Sebastian made up his mind and immediately ordered the whole army to continue to eat, without worrying about food reserves, and after resting for two hours, he forcibly marched forward in four columns. He suspected that Wutong City had already sent scouts to the mountains in this direction, and it was likely that they would be encountered by scouts on the way, so he decided to run over them first, no matter what he encountered along the way.

After eating and drinking enough to rest, the fish-men divided into four columns fifty meters apart and headed west.

Then they stepped on several hornet's nests.

The cloudy hornets pounced on the fishmen, but this time they were wiped out after only two or three heads were studied.

Although the lethality was negligible, it also hindered the fish-people for a few minutes.

The fish-men in the back carried the pigs' heads on stretchers, and followed at the back of the line with Danio, who was still asleep.

After running for about ten minutes, the team was ambushed again, this time no longer in a small fight, but a dozen crossbow guns more than one meter long swept across the outermost row of fishmen.

Sebastian knew that the elven scouts had spotted him and had set up various tricks along the way to thwart his progress.

"All shields are concentrated in the ranks on both sides, facing outwards for defense!" Sebastian ordered, "Ignore those annoying sea maggots!"

They then encountered several more attacks with bows and arrows, but they were all blocked by their shields.

But the next trap is something that the shield can't defend against.

Dozens of mature Marbs exploded on the ground at the same time, and a large area was shrouded in spores, and from a distance it looked like a thick white mist.

At the same time, several fires burst out in the white mist.

The orange fireball from the dust explosion was fleeting in the woods, and a loud sound pierced far and wide.

The fish-man who was walking in the front was suddenly blown up, and the team was in chaos.

At this moment, a group of elves suddenly stood up from the bushes in front of them, and then a rain of arrows shot straight into the fish-man team.

After only five seconds, the elf who had shot five rounds of arrows immediately turned and slipped away, and many of the fishmen failed to react.

The dust explosion didn't cause much of a shockwave, at most it was a shock wave that knocked over some of the hapless fishmen, and then burned a few of the more unlucky ones.

The biggest damage still comes from the elven bow and arrow sneak attack when the fish-man has not come to his senses, and this time the sneak attacker's arrows are not missing, and the fish-man suddenly fell a lot.

It took another half an hour to regroup the ranks and treat the wounded, and Sebastian frowned, and the more the enemy tried to block his advance, the more he had to rush over as soon as possible, so he ordered to continue the forced march.

Along the way, the elven rangers and the warriors of the Royal Court Special Air Service Regiment changed their tricks to interfere with and slow down the enemy's march.

They destroyed the water sources along the way, and the fishmen were unable to replenish their water. The beast trainers control the monsters in the woods to constantly storm the enemy ranks, and even use potions to summon a large number of slimes to block the path of the fishmen.

However, these slimes later became a source of water for the Fishmen under Sebastian's command.

While passing by a bamboo forest, Sebastian ordered to cut bamboo to make javelins, and greeted him with bamboo guns wherever he saw wind and grass along the way.

While passing through a valley, the elves lurking in the mountains grabbed the tail of the fish-man team and blasted them with arrows and magic, causing the highest casualties of the day.

Sebastian feared that there was still an ambush ahead, and he immediately ordered the wounded behind him to rush forward en masse and out of the valley.

The elves on the other side of the valley who were about to set fire were not ready, and could only watch as the fish-people slipped out.

Finally, on the evening of the 13th, Sebastian and the others finally arrived at Wocaoling.

Seeing that the team was exhausted by this time, Sebastian could only order to temporarily stay in place to rest, and then send scouts to the west to inquire about Bob.

There are no trees on the Lying Grass Ridge, and the field of vision is wide, so you can clearly observe the surroundings when standing on the highest point, and it is easy to see if there are any lurking enemies around.

Standing on the hill, Sebastian saw only lying grass swaying in the wind, and the sound of birds in the trees in the distance.

Until nightfall, the annoying elves along the way stopped harassing them, much to the relief of the fishmen.

Sebastian ordered two kelp dumplings to be eaten each, waiting for the scouts to find out about Bob before deciding on his next move.

The fishmen, who were physically and mentally exhausted, began to doze off after eating, and the fishmen who were not on duty all lay on the soft lying grass and fell asleep.

Sebastian didn't rest, he waited for the scouts to return.

In the middle of the moon, a large flock of birds suddenly flew in the woods around Wocaoling at the same time.

Countless birds in all directions were startled into the night sky, and the sound of their wings flapping even woke the sleeping fish-man soldiers.

Sebastian was stunned for a moment, and immediately shouted loudly: "Night attack!

Under the bright moonlight, black shadows emerged from the woods, and these black shadows were lined up in a tight formation, pressing towards the Lying Grass Ridge from all directions.

Several triangular black shadows appeared in the sky above Lying Grass Ridge, and their height exceeded the range of the fish-men's throwing weapons. A burst of intense white light suddenly erupted from below the triangular black shadow, illuminating the Lying Grass Ridge as if it were day.

Cold sweat kept running down Sebastin's forehead, and he could wipe his neck if he didn't know he had fallen into a trap at this point. He immediately ordered: "All assemble and break through to the south!"

Now they can only have a glimmer of life if they break through while the encirclement is closed.

Just as the fishmen began to line up, a series of explosions suddenly occurred on the ground of Wocaoling.

The unnoticed, irregular explosion caused the fish people to panic.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the elven armies from all over the Elven Tree Sea that had been waiting in Wutong City for a long time finally completed the siege under the Lying Grass Ridge.
