Chapter 64: Annihilation
The sword slashed, another head flew up, and the ogre's dirty blood came out of the neck like a fountain,
Half of Richard's body had been dyed a dark red, and it was particularly hideous in the dim light of the flickering torches.
With Bruce falling, there was nothing left in the village to stand up to Richard and the Crusaders,
With Richard, Ron, and the Crusaders as the arrowheads, the spearmen followed, and there was no enemy in front of them.
The crusaders sometimes slashed the ogres to the ground with a single sword, and some of the powerful ogres were still screaming on the ground and struggling to get up, and then they were stabbed through by the spearmen who followed them.
In the back, some ogre warriors were named one by one by the sharpshooters as soon as they came out of the shed, and the short-range salvo of four or five sharpshooters could make an ogre warrior lose the ability to fight in an instant, and even the opportunity to make direct contact with Richard and others gradually lost.
The battle was completely one-sided, and the ogres, who were originally extremely powerful in front of humans, were now like lambs to the slaughter.
The tragic casualties and desperate battle situation shook the originally cruel and warlike ogres,
The ogres in the back no longer rushed out of the road in the middle of the village with a roar after coming out of the shack.
Darkness is the best cover for escape, and the reason why ancient armies usually do not fight at night is that the army is difficult to control in the dark.
In particular, it tests the soldier's will to fight and discipline,
There are officers during the day, there are supervising the team watching, and the comrades-in-arms around them to cooperate, and ordinary troops can also maintain a certain degree of discipline and will to fight.
However, at night, not only is it difficult to issue military orders smoothly, but soldiers who are not strong in battle are also prone to flee under the cover of darkness.
Only the true elite can continue to maintain discipline and will to fight in the dark night,
Obviously, Richard and his heroic invincible army fit this criterion, while the ogres are a little bit off,
Although the ogre is brave, his will to fight is not weak, and he is still trying to fight back when the scene is completely crushed.
But in terms of discipline, the gap between the two sides can be called a world of difference.
Richard's warriors worked together like sophisticated killing machines, while ogres crashed into them like headless flies to their deaths.
When the casualties reached a certain level, even the ogres, who were already quite brave, began to retreat,
Many ogres who came out of the shack were lucky enough to avoid the first round of harvest by the marksman, and turned around to take advantage of the night to slip away.
If it is an ordinary army, it is difficult to run away in the face of the enemy in the dark night, and it is difficult to really leave no one.
But Richard spat on a nail and said that if he wanted to keep no one, that is, he would really not let one go.
While some ogres gradually fled outside the village, Richard still led his troops to kill the ogres who dared to resist and some of the old and weak who were hiding in the house, and seemed to have given up on pursuing these cowardly escapees.
These ogres who escaped by nightfall were both a little ashamed and a little glad, after all, it was better to die than to live, and it was almost certain to die if they stayed in the village.
They could still faintly hear the roars of their fellow villagers and the wails of the old and weak, but they didn't want to stay in the neighborhood for a moment, but chose to stay away.
Those who have escaped will have an infinitely low bottom line in a short period of time, and this is also true for ogres, at this time their only thought is to live.
The village behind them grew more and more blurred, and they could no longer hear the shouts of the village, only the light of the fire reminded them of what was still happening in the village.
Finally safe,
It had run far enough, and there were occasional insect chirpings in the silent fields.
There were also a few eagle chirps......
Where did the eagle come from,
This is the last thought of the few ogres who escaped,
The reason Richard and his men didn't go after the fleeing ogres was simple,
No matter how fast they run, they can't outrun the royal griffins in the sky,
The griffons were not suitable for swooping in densely populated villages, and Richard did not involve griffons in the village's battles.
Just ordered them to patrol around the village and kill any ogres who escaped.
The griffons, which are not easy to perform in the village, are definitely a terrifying existence in this wild plain.
With the sound of eagles, these fierce beasts in the air with a length of more than three meters launched a death dive towards the ogres on the ground.
With the power of the swoop, the royal griffin's claws can even rip open the skull of an ogre in an instant.
Even if they don't die in a single blow, they can rise into the air again in search of the next opportunity, until they are completely incapacitated by the blood torn by the ogre.
If these ogres can deal with it calmly, with long soldiers erected, and gather in groups of three or five, they may be able to cause damage to the royal griffons.
But at this time, these fleeing ogres have long been frightened, and some have even lost their weapons, and they still have the mind to fight against the griffins,
In the end, they can only be killed by the royal griffon.
"A brilliant victory!"
As the last ogre is found and solved from the shed, the system pops up a prompt like a heavenly sound.
The crusaders who entered the house didn't care whether the ogres in the house were old or weak, and one by one they firmly carried out Richard's orders - none of them remained.
Even Ron, who has always had some pity, was not soft-hearted, after all, those corpses that were hung up as food storage could not be faked,
Compared with the battle with the ogre, the battle with the human race is more brutal, and there is almost no room for mediation between the contradictions between the two sides, it is a life-and-death racial battle, and there is no room for the slightest soft-heartedness.
"Gain 5,500 experience points."
This battle gave Richard 5500 experience,
The quest progress has also been partially completed.
The ordinary ogre killed a full 317, which is not far from the 500 required by the mission, but the task of ten ogre warriors has only been completed.
The last time you killed 50 ogres, you were rewarded with the Boots, but this mission is much more difficult, and if you complete it, Richard does have a lot of expectations in his heart.
And I have to say that the experience of killing ogres is much higher than fighting with your own people.
Now there is not much experience left before the next upgrade, and this time the ogre's eastward advance can be regarded as a disaster for the Northlands,
But for Richard personally, it was a rare opportunity.
The battle lasted for half a night, and by the time the last ogre fell, the sky had already brightened slightly, and Pato was holding the sword at Richard's side, and he had not recovered for a while.
As an emissary, Richard had no intention of letting him go to war,
But the ogre is wreaking havoc on his own territory, and Richard wants to take action, but Pato can't stand idly by,
However, although he also participated in the battle just now with the army, he basically didn't have much chance to make a move as a quasi-knight.
But participating in the war with the army gave him a chance to really observe the strength of Richard's men,
It was the first time he had seen the scene of more than 20 knight-level powerhouses attacking intensively.
The green rays of the fighting spirit almost formed into one, illuminating a small piece of the night sky,
The charging ogre was like a moth to a fire in the night, crashing into the light and dying.
And although these crusaders are strong, they do not completely cover up the excellence of other arms, and cooperate with the tacit understanding of the ruthless spearmen.
and the marksman, who is accurate in archery and can shoot extremely lethal arrows, both left a deep impression on Pato.
The next focus of the Ogre's expulsion may not be to fight, but to raise the supplies promised to Richard and Kinnar.
