Chapter 5 Best Practices

"Yo, you're fast. ”

Grey Dew hurried to Liam, and when he ran with him to Rioat, dozens of swift night raiders had already swooped down on the fence to fight the men on guard.

A considerable number of torches and lighting magic illuminated the fences of the subhuman settlements against wild beasts. Looking at the subhuman herdsmen who relied on the wooden fortifications more than one person high to barely resist the attack of the ghosts, their eyes that reflected the bright light in the gray night narrowed slightly.

Although most subhumans have a good physique compared to ordinary humans, in terms of armament, subhuman groups that are not treated well by humans or orcs are often backward.

"Only butcher knives, iron-headed clubs, and short-handled spears are not very easy to inflict fatal injuries on the demons. ”

On the way out of the habitat to join up with Goth, Grey Dew claws dealt with a number of ghosts, and was quite impressed by the products of this curse - the quickest way to completely destroy them was to destroy the deathcore attached to the curse. That thing often condenses in the heart of the deceased.

Since the curse of the Abyss Lord covered the cloudy mountains, the common sense of how to deal with ghosts has been popularized in the surrounding human cities, but most of the panicked herders are just wielding their weapons and slashing and smashing like ordinary beasts.

"They don't even have a strong bow that can pierce through their armor. ”

Looking at the few herders with their bows and arrows shooting at the beastly walkers, the mercenary Liam shook his head as he held his heavy crossbow. The ghosts are already dead animals, and those flying arrows are basically useless as long as they don't hit the dead core or get stuck in the joints.

Although the herders guarding the fence have been able to keep the walkers out so far by virtue of their numerical superiority, it is only a matter of time before the fence is toppled down as the slower human walkers behind join the attack.

"So, are we going to fight outside the fence?"

Gray Lu, who has night vision, saw from a distance the main force of human demons in the wilderness that was marching this way. Among them, there were not only unarmed farmers, herdsmen, and merchants, but also beast warriors and mercenaries in armor.

She didn't think that the subhuman herdsmen of this settlement could resist so many demons who didn't know what pain and death were with a wooden fence——— and if they weren't here, the herdsmen's best option would be to set fire to the fence and flee on horseback.

It's like those freedfolk villages on the outskirts of the mountains, destroyed by ghosts.

"I don't recommend it. ”

The ghosts in the vicinity, all of whom were incarnated by wild beasts, pointed Liam at the ground with his crossbow slanted. There were no targets that he needed to shoot.

Seeing that Liam was reluctant to take the initiative, Grey Lu approached the fence and stabbed several of the ghostly pikemen, and asked again, "What do you think, Rioat?"

"Hey, Uncle Village over there, you should be lucky to let us stay overnight by now!"

Before he could finish speaking, Rivat, who had seen that Gott had already arrived at the bullock cart and was standing watching the play, climbed out of the fence, picked up his spear, and headed straight for the humanoid demons that were swarming to this side. At the same time, Gott, who was behind him, released a large area of lighting magic into the air.

The edge of the savanna, which was illuminated by the moonlight, was completely clear under the magic of the [star lantern] as bright as the morning sun.

They are not dealing with a bunch of random wandering ghosts.

"This amount...... As you say, it's considerable. ”

With good lighting conditions, Liam, who is a human, also took into account the large group of demons that staggered in the wilderness. The moment Grey Dew looked at Riowatt and didn't pay attention, he pulled out a heavy arrow without an arrow from the quiver and placed it in the reserve ditch parallel to the crossbow arm's arrow slot.

Tonight's extra spending might be enough to hire a carriage.

"Kill!"

With a loud shout, Rioat, who took the initiative to attack, clashed with the main force of the ghosts. Although he was wearing armor, he didn't feel the slightest lag when he took steps and ran up to sprint to attack.

Before the man arrived, the gun arrived first, and the head of the spear with four blades pierced through the chest of the previous ghost, destroying the dead core, and while destroying the dead core, Riovat sank down and twisted his waist, using the left hand holding the barrel of the gun as the fulcrum, and the right hand pressed the tail of the gun, and the corpse that could no longer move flew out diagonally like a sandbag, smashing down the other ghost who pounced on the side.

Without an armor-piercing humanoid walking ghost, he only needs to stab with moderate strength, and he can easily solve it.

Seeing this, Grey Lu, who was still in the settlement, drew her sword and prepared to jump out of the fence to the side of Riovat to widen the battle surface, but unexpectedly, the crossbowman Liam stopped her.

"If the owner mage doesn't make a move, the pikemen can't stop all the ghosts at the same time, I suggest you stay near the fence to fix the leak——— I don't want to go to Dre City on foot after dawn. ”

"Don't worry, even if this settlement is gone, the ox cart will not be a problem. ”

Even within the Tooth Wolf Clan, if you want to be recognized by others, you have to show enough strength. Facing Liam, who was too cautious, knowing that Gott was very strong, he threw down his sword scabbard and rushed over the fence into the wilderness.

She struck faster than Rivat.

"Alright then......" Liam pressed his heavy crossbow against the railing at the top of the fence as he found two stones to put his feet on, "I'll give you the necessary support from afar." ”

The subhuman herdsmen had managed to eliminate some of the beasts who could not break through the fence, but this was only a drop in the bucket compared to the nearly three hundred that the attackers had visually measured.

With a disdainful snort, the mercenary stared at Wangshan to raise the heavy crossbow, and then pulled the crossbow machine——— the crossbow with the tip of the arrow flew out, and after overtaking the rushing human wolf girl, he hit a ghost who was a long-axe mercenary before his death.

"It's useless to shoot so fiercely, but it's not a dead core!"

Seeing that the ghost in chain mail was knocked to the ground by the huge force of the crossbow arrow, the gray dew who was just about to pounce on it sideways had to change his attack stance, shouting and jumping up, ready to stab from top to bottom with a sword in both hands.

However, just as Gray Lu was in mid-air, the neck of the ghost's arrow suddenly glowed red, and then it exploded and burned violently. Now, she doesn't even need to mend the knife.

"It's an enchanted burst of arrows. ”

Liam's muttering was naturally inaudible, but he didn't intend for her to hear it. Reloading his crossbow with arrows, he stared at the slow-moving big guy at the back of the group and smacked his lips.

To destroy them, you can get a good arrow equal to one gold coin.

"Whew-"

Unable to suppress his instinctive low howl, the toothed wolf hunter who had been shown off by the crossbow mercenary stepped over the still burning wreckage and rushed straight into the dangerous group of demons.

Although she also fights in close quarters, her fighting style is very different from that of Rivat, who stops, sweeps, pierces, and picks with spears. In an encirclement of demons that no one else could see, she used her orc talent to her advantage, grabbed a wanderer and kicked it off with brute force, causing it to lose its balance and fall to the ground, and then smashed its chest cavity with her claws - and with it, the dead core behind the ribs.

As for the short sword that Gott gave her, it was only used to stab the heart after tearing off one arm when dealing with the thicker armor of the walking ghosts, which was not blocked by a large arm in the squeaky nest.

This is also a walking ghost who has already died once, and if it is replaced by an ordinary human, it will have fled in fear a long time ago.

"This girl ......"

Although he was far away and had the intention to observe Gote, he still witnessed the whole process of the battle of the human wolf girl through some means. Admittedly, it was only a matter of time before she and Rioat continued to kill like this, and it was only a matter of time before the horde of ghosts with dull combat methods was resolved, but it was a late night that should be used to sleep.

Standing up slowly, Gott raised his left hand and cast a second Starlight to light up the night sky.

About eighty paces away from Grey Dew and Rivat, the slow-moving giants were already roaring——— judging by their lifeless faces and charred eyes, they were the worst of a curse.

"Liam, can the big ones be handed over to you?"

Gott's voice came from behind him, and Liam, who was staring at his target to sense the direction of the wind, made an OK gesture with his left hand, "Then you'd better keep them away." ”

"It's nature. ”

At the same time as Liam replaced with a deadly crossbow, Gort also used the wind elves to warn Rivat and Grey Dew, who were actively besieged. The two didn't fight, and after tearing through the encirclement with their strengths, they ran back to the fence out of breath and stared at the crossbowman who jumped on the top of the fence to aim.

"It's called, Gorondo—Breath. ”

Pressing the index finger on the crossbow machine and gently pressing it, the heavy arrow without an arrow screamed out, and after crossing a distance of nearly two hundred steps, it flew over the crowded group of demons.

Ang –

After a brief silence, the roar of the hearts of living creatures within a radius of miles resounded through the wilderness. But under the rough explosion, many people seemed to have auditory hallucinations, and heard a distant dragon moan.

The dazzling fireball rolled in the place where the arrow exploded, and this powerful weapon made the battle between the two melee warriors just now look like a game.

This is deadly, the fire dragon breathes.
