Chapter 102 Heavy Rains in Autumn
Outside the barracks of Qinghuang Town, eight hundred soldiers were already fully armed, and Allen, Antonio and others rode war horses and stood in front of the team.
It was already half an hour after Alan got the news from the Shadow Section.
Gnolls!
Sure enough, it's a gnoll!
When he heard the Shadow Section's description of those monsters, this was the first reaction in Alan's mind.
At that time, I guessed correctly about the murderers who slaughtered the original soil village, these guys hid in the Black Dragon Mountain Range after causing such atrocities, no wonder it was difficult to find.
According to the intelligence, the number of these jackals is more than two hundred, and those particularly tall gnolls are very likely to have knightly strength, no less than two hundred jackals and jackals with cavalry strength, once they are allowed to enter the Musen Territory, the destructive power caused is huge.
Now these guys are no longer cowering in the Black Dragon Mountain Range, but are coming in the direction of the Mu Sen Collar, but fortunately, they were discovered by the Qinghuang Collar in time.
Allen has always believed in bullying less with more, and for those protagonists, even if they have strong strength, they do things that want to fight fairly with others, Allen never agrees, and is stupid.
So this time, Eren is ready to take the eight hundred warriors of the entire Musen Territory to eliminate this group of gnolls in one fell swoop.
"Lord Baron, according to the information from the Shadow's return, these gnolls are already close to the border of the White Stone Collar, and at the speed of these guys, they will appear in the White Stone Collar in half an hour, and the White Stone Collar Gravel Village is only ten minutes away from them. ”
Half an hour ago, although the Qinghuang Territory got the information of the Gnoll, but then it also lost the specific location of the Gnoll, so within half an hour, Andy scattered all the shadows that the Mu Senling can use now in the Black Dragon Mountain Range around the Musen Territory, the Shadow may not be strong in combat, it can be tracked, and the ability to lurk is indeed the strongest, and in less than half an hour, the Shadow once again found the specific location of the Gnoll.
"Let's go now, and try to get to the vicinity of Gravel Village before these gnolls come out. Alan said solemnly, Gravel Village is closer to the Qinghuang Territory, and now the eight hundred warriors are all matched with war horses, and even those who have not broken through the cavalry have matched their war horses, and they should be able to arrive in time under the rapid attack.
"Let's go!" Antonio shouted to the warriors behind him.
The whole team moved, and it took about twenty minutes for the Knights of the Green Desolation to arrive at the designated position, and under Allen's order, they secretly lurked, waiting for the arrival of the gnolls.
......
The sky changed, the sky that had been shining with the sun gradually darkened, the clouds were thick, and bursts of thunder resounded in the sky above the Knights of the Blue Desolation.
At this time, the jackals were unaware of the traps that awaited them.
"Chief, it's going to rain soon, shall we stop and shelter from the rain first. Hank was very upset when he looked at the dark sky.
"Go ahead and get to the Terran Gravel Village first. Locke looked down at the map in his hand.
This map was drawn by Locke when he forced the head of the original village to slaughter the original village, and it has the approximate location of each village called the White Stone Collar, which is not far from the gravel village marked on the map.
The reason why Locke rushed to the gravel village and did not stop to rest was also because of the weather, heavy rain can hide their tracks, even if they plundered the gravel village, the Terran lord could not find their traces, and the heavy rain would wash away all traces.
After hearing about Gravel Village, Hank's dissatisfaction with the weather disappeared, and he grinned happily and didn't ask more.
The heavy rain will fall as soon as it is said, and it does not have the slightest appearance of autumn rain like smoke and fog, but it is very similar to summer rain, which is violently scattered on the warriors of the Knights of the Green Desolation.
The raindrops of beans hit the weapons of the warriors intensively, making a crisp sound, and then converged on the tips of the spears, falling like a trickle, and the eight hundred warriors were like statues, motionless, waiting quietly.
Alan in front of him did not waste the fire element to form a protective layer to resist the pouring rain, this kind of rainy day has a great impact on the fire element knight like Allen, especially when using the elemental attachment ability, but the water element knight will be like a fish in water in this weather.
At this time, a dark shadow riding a war horse not far away was gradually approaching, and the sound of horses' hooves was swallowed up by heavy rain, and it was not until the war horse approached that a sound of horses' hooves was heard.
The shadow will pull the reins, and the horse will stop not far away.
"Tell the Baron, the enemy is only a kilometer away. The shadow wiped the rain drain from his face.
Alan nodded.
After the Shadow reports, he leaves on his horse and continues to investigate.
Time flew by, but the heavy rain did not have the slightest tendency to abate, and the green cavalry who were waiting for the immobility, under the signal of Antonio, silently pulled the crossbow strings, fortunately, when building the crossbow arrows, a special material was used as tail feathers, and the impact of the rain was not very great.
At this time, the Blue Desolation Knights were hidden behind a slope, and although the height was not high, they could hide so many people from the Lower Blue Desolation Knights.
"My lord, here we are!" Antonio said to Alan next to him.
In the distance, some dark figures appeared in front of them, and gradually more and more figures appeared, and they were rapidly approaching this side.
Allen, who had been staring ahead, certainly saw these guys too.
"Ready!" Alan said in a deep voice, raising his right arm.
The warrior behind him held the Qinghuang crossbow and spear in his hand, quietly waiting for the order to attack.
This is the first time that the Blue Desolation Knights have faced an alien army, and it is inevitable that the alien image will have an impact on the warriors, but as long as they experience the first, the warriors will definitely be able to adapt quickly, thinking of this, Alan also let go of a trace of worry in his heart.
The distance between the two sides was approaching at a rapid pace, and it wasn't long before a group of gnolls came down the slope, and the time was ripe.
Just listen to it.
"Put!"
Suddenly, a terrible sound of breaking the air reached the ears of the jackals through the dense curtain of water, and they were piercing in the noisy rain.
Before the gnolls could think about it, the arrows that fused with the heavy rain pierced towards the gnolls.
"Howl!"
“......”
The screams were drowned out by the sound of rain.
Although the jackals are very strong in defense with their fur, they cannot resist the piercing of arrows, and the high-speed crossbow arrows penetrate the fur of these gnolls without much effort, piercing into their bodies.
In an instant, there were two hundred gnolls, and more than a hundred fell in response, most of them were injured but not dead, and the strong body gave the gnolls a strong vitality, unless the crossbow arrow penetrated the vital point, it was difficult to kill.
"Whew!"
Locke, who reacted, roared, and his body more than two meters tall quickly became huge, his muscles grew rapidly, and his bones were raised, becoming a giant with a height of more than four meters, and several barbarian warriors were also small giants whose bodies increased to three meters high, with scarlet eyes, and ran towards the slope with the remaining gnolls.
