Chapter Ninety-Eight: Extermination
In the darkness, the robbers who were keeping watch in the bushes, hearing the laughter from behind and the occasional scream of a woman, felt bitter in their hearts, and complained to their companions: "What a bad luck! Everyone else is drinking wine and eating meat, and a few of us are drinking the northwest wind here." ”
"No way, who let it be our turn. ”
The leader of the sentry, the mid-ranking thief, was about to get up and educate his deserted subordinates, when suddenly, he paused, and felt that something was wrong, because, except for the celebratory crowd, the other voices in the dense forest were gradually disappearing.
A long career of adventure had taught him that what could stop these sensitive bugs from chirping was either a beast with a strong enough aura or a large number of creatures.
Neither of these situations was a good thing, and the thief had a cold sweat running down his head, and he didn't know what was in the dark, or how many of them were.
He didn't dare to make a sound, cautiously observing the movements around him, and slowly retreated with his waist bent, and now, only by returning to the side of the high-ranking warrior, Eric, could he give him a sense of security.
Suddenly, the thief spotted an unusual touch of shadow and was shocked.
Peer?!
Unable to hide his whereabouts, he hurriedly dodged and hid behind a big tree.
Woohoo.
Cold arrows shot from the shadows pierced the throats of the robbers who were talking sentry, and they fell to the ground clutching their necks.
The mid-level thieves looked at the standard crossbow bolts inserted in the trees with trembling arrows, and their hearts were terrified.
Professional Stalker!
Damn! Didn't all the elite soldiers of Bailey City be sent to the front line, how could they be here!
Besides, in the dark, how could they aim at the earl's guard, which was equipped with magical items?
In a short period of time, the thief made up a lot of the plot, but he was not slow on his feet, he bent his waist and used his combat skills to move quickly between the trees, dodging the crossbow bolts, and moving in the direction of the leader.
Suddenly, a purple light shot out from behind and hit the thief's back, and the thief's speed dropped suddenly.
Caster! Slowdown! It's over!
A crossbow bolt sank into the back of the slowing thief's head, and the thief fell to the ground with a thud.
As a high-ranking warrior, Eric's hearing was much better than the others, and he heard strange noises in the darkness.
"Enemy attack!"
The robbers were suddenly startled, hurriedly threw down the clay wine bowl in their hands, grabbed the weapons at hand, and leaned their backs against the campfire, facing the dark forest.
"Brothers, don't be afraid! We will win in the end! Kill the most enemies, and reward you with 100 gold coins!"
When ordinary robbers heard this, their eyes were red, and they rushed forward, for fear that others would snatch their gold coins.
What they didn't notice was that their leader, Bloodfang's original team, quietly retreated to Eric's side.
A certain leader: "Commander, what should we do?"
Eric was suspicious in his heart, with the escape skills of a middle-level thief, he couldn't escape, and he was also very uneasy, but the black lights around him were blind, they didn't even know what the enemy was and where it was, and they couldn't judge which direction to run away, so they rushed out blindly, in case they hit the muzzle!
Eric gritted his teeth: "Let these fools go first, you guys bring the gold coins, find the opportunity to run separately, we will meet at the old place!"
"Whew!"
A few wolf howls sounded in the forest, and looking at the dense green fluorescent eyes lit up in the dark forest, the outcast robbers began to be restless.
"Wolves?"
"No! It's a gnoll, damn it, these monsters are also taking advantage of the chaos to run out of the mountains and forests!"
Suddenly, the dull war drums sounded, and the dense rhythm of the drums beat like a beat on the hearts of the robbers, and the morale of the outcasts and robbers began to decline rapidly.
Damn, this drum isn't a jackal's beat, there's something else!
Erik's scalp tingled, and he shouted: "Brothers, in the dark, we can't escape the pursuit of these gnolls, if we don't want to die, take up arms and hold on until dawn." ”
The outcast robbers understood that their leader was right, and they clenched their teeth and clenched the various weapons in their hands.
As the shaman-inspired war drums sounded, the dark-sighted gnolls charged, howling and pounced on the outcast bandits.
When the gnolls rushed within range of the campfire, the outcasts and robbers rushed forward and fought with the gnolls.
These outcasts and robbers have experienced a long period of war, eaten tree bark, cut grass roots, wild dogs have robbed food in their mouths, and experienced all kinds of storms, and the fierce character they have developed from this, coupled with the pressure of death, make them fearless to start a white-knuckle battle with the jackals.
Compared to the brave outcasts, the Bloodfangs are a professional adventuring team, and as soon as they fight, they realize that something is wrong, these gnolls are different from the wild monsters they have encountered in the past, they are not only armed with sophisticated weapons, but also know how to cooperate with each other.
Eric's heart was beating wildly, and he whispered, "Can't hold it!
Hearing this, everyone in the Bloodfang Adventure Group followed behind the leader and broke through in one direction.
Armed with a great sword, Eric splits a parry gnolloin, along with his weapon, in half.
Suddenly, he heard the sound of breaking the air above his head, and quickly moved sideways to dodge, and a terrifying mace smashed the unlucky man behind him into a pulp.
A gust of wind blew, and the campfire shook, and the light of the fire shone on the two-headed ogre's hideous face.
Eric was horrified.
The two-headed ogre casts a spell while shaking off the minced meat stuck to the mace.
A flash of green light struck Eric with lightning speed.
Weak!
Looking at the mace raised by the ogre again, Eric's face was like ashes, and there was another puddle of rotten meat on the ground.
In the end, none of the Bloodfang bandits escaped, and they were either captured alive or killed in battle.
"Ahhh
Several unclothed young human women, when they saw the approaching bloody monster, either shrank into a ball in horror and fainted.
To the surprise of several sober humans, the gnolls ignored them and began to loot the corpses for valuable objects.
At this moment, out of the monster came a human in military uniform.
"You're safe. ”
After looting the spoils, the monster army did not want to rush back overnight, so they simply built a bonfire in the open space next to the battlefield, and held a banquet on the captured food and wine.
In the dark forest, around the warm campfire, in the astonished eyes of the robber prisoners of war, the demons danced wildly.
......
Early the next morning, the monster army marched into Bailey City with the prisoners of war, and people stood on both sides of the road, pointing at the monsters and the prisoners of war.
"What's going on?"
"I heard that these people are robbers. ”
......
As the truth spreads, people look at the monster army with less fear and more friendliness.
Of course, the monsters never cared what the human civilians thought, they were an army of monsters who obeyed the orders of the white dragon.
After handing over the prisoners of war with the Bailey City Defenses, the monster army returned to the barracks outside the city with the food and wine from the Earl's bounty, and began another carnival.
They still have a long time to go in Bailey.
