Chapter 23: Waiting for the head
"Haha! See the trolls' brains? Fried like a rotten pumpkin. ”
"Barney from the village of Sepha had a broken hand, and the priest couldn't figure it out, so he went back crying. However, before leaving, the duke's pension was paid in full. Thirty pieces of silver were enough for him to marry a widow. ”
"Unlucky Barney!"
The camp at the foot of the mountain is still lively.
Whether it is McDonalken or the other two bigwigs, they are more satisfied with the current atmosphere, and blindly fighting with the wind is not necessarily a good thing. The right casualties are just the right wake-up call for those who are on the battlefield for the first time.
That night, the second camp was almost successfully attacked.
Nearly 100 Troll Shadow Hunters touched them with a [Stealth] similar to a thief's [Stealth], a skill that made trolls quite difficult to detect. Unless you go very close, or have the [Flare] skill of the Ranger and Hunter professions, it is difficult to be observed by the naked eye at a distance.
Even the elves' [Dark Vision] can't be discerned from a distance.
The nearest troll touched the camp just thirty meters away.
Unfortunately, they ran into Hadurun*Mingyi, who was on duty at night, and his [flare] alarmed the soldiers who were already waiting for the battle, and after leaving 31 corpses, the trolls fled in panic.
The undying troll then launched two more sneak attacks, both of which failed.
The third time he gathered more than 200 Shadow Hunters, using the night as a cover, to shoot at Wen Leisha and a few elves.
The arrows with a fluorescent-like effect worked wonders again, pointing the mortar squad to the target.
The battle was small in scale, but it was fought quite fiercely, with more than thirty people killed on the coalition side, including two elven rangers.
After the sun rose on the morning of the third day, Winetha approached McDonald and asked to participate in the assault on Zumashal.
"My two Ranger sisters are dead, I can't swallow this breath, please let me fight one last time."
A real beauty, even if she wears a cartoon skin, looks good when she gets angry.
For the free super tool man, McDonald said - I don't like to be angry!
Wipe!
Gratis!
Who are you looking down on!?
I am Admiral Pan...... Ahem, I'm the Grand Duke of Stratholme, do I lack free workers?
He snapped his fingers and commanded his attendants, "Bring me my 114541 box." ”
After a while, two attendants carried a large wooden box 1.5 meters long, 80 centimeters wide and 40 centimeters high.
McDonald said lightly: "Take this thing, and I'll add it to you." ”
Looking at the box opened by the squire, Wen Leisha's eyes widened.
If it was other messy so-called requirements, she would definitely not be birdish, but she was once again refreshed three views - what was presented in front of her was densely packed and neatly tied arrows.
The pale cyan metallic glow of the arrows exuded an intimidating aura.
"It's ......"
"Thorsilver Arrow!"
At this point in time, Thorium was recognized as the hardest and lightest precious metal in the entire Eastern Kingdom continent. The sharpness and hardness of the silver arrow are certainly carried.
But......
A standard silver ingot weighs 12.5 kg, and in the absence of large-scale warfare, the market price is around 4 gold coins. Then 2 silver ingots can be used to craft about 200 silver arrows.
If the blacksmith's craftsmanship is poor, the yield is even lower.
Therefore, every time you pull the string, you shoot not an arrow, but a silver Araso coin!
The poor can't afford to play at all!
Wen Leisa was really shocked by Madonald's arrogance.
Since the establishment of the High Elves, the mages have been in power, and the rangers have been raised by their stepmothers. Because there is no silver mine near the elven capital Silvermoon City, even the Windranger sisters are reluctant to use arrows made of Mithril or Thursilver until they live or die.
Although there is a chance to recover arrows, as a good archer, you must be mentally prepared to shoot one arrow and one less arrow.
Wen Leisha asked rhetorically, "Why don't you give it to your people?" ”
"Second-rate archers, it's a waste to use this thing."
Ordinary enemies are shot to the point, most likely with an arrow and a burp.
A truly strong person, with the support of spiritual power such as [Anger], will obtain various magical special effects. For example, a warrior can open a [Shield Wall] to greatly reduce the damage he takes in a short period of time.
In addition, the strong often have good armor, and at this time, the role of sharp arrows is reflected.
Today, it will be most useful to deal with Tarekin, the leader of the rotten moss.
Thinking of her dead companion, Wen Leisha pursed her lips: "Okay! I made a note of this favor. ”
She beckoned a few elven rangers to come in and carried the large box of arrows away.
In a short time, today's battle began!
Amid the unusually festive sound of gongs and drums, the third group of attacking troops marched towards the last section of the mountain road.
This time, from the very beginning, the coalition forces took the initiative to attack, guided by the signal arrows of the elven rangers, and the mortar squad kept firing and bombarding the cliffs on both sides, not giving the troll shadow hunters a chance to touch them. The speed of the advance is much faster.
After surviving a steep slope with a total length of more than 400 meters, the terrain in front of you is open.
The plateau basin where Zumashal is located has arrived.
"Let's move forward."
In fact, he just wanted to go to the second mountainside base and watch the excitement from afar.
Unexpectedly, a simple order of his own was collectively opposed.
"No! Duke Stratholme, as the commander-in-chief, how can you easily go to the front? "Mograini was the first to steal the white road.
"That's right! Let's say that this battle is in charge of our Scarlet Crusade! Abidis followed.
The two guys bombarded me with a long story, to put it bluntly, they had no eyes on the battlefield, and they couldn't afford to take responsibility for accidentally letting McDonald make a mistake.
Not to mention them, even Tulayan objected: "Your Excellency, your command and strategy are in everyone's eyes, and your merits are indelible!" Now is the time for the Lordaeron Knight to show his loyalty, so stay in the camp and take control! ”
After a few words, McDonald was speechless.
When Tulayan said this, he clearly told McDonald - you are definitely the first to fight to this point, and as the boss, don't take credit from the knights below who want to be famous.
"Alright! I'll just wait here for the good news! ”
It just so happened that I was afraid of death (not much, only 99%), so I stayed in the rear and waited for the end of the work.
McDonald thought that his bunch of bullshit warrior professional skills should not be needed.
The soldiers in charge of the cart ran out of strength, and in the end, they certainly didn't have their share in pushing the altar, and the first round of the main attack was handed over to Abidis and his men, who rushed up, and the veteran Mograine prepared the second formation with his elite.
The meritorious Rivendell and Serrijek, as well as Uther and Tulayan, who wanted to train more and lead the troops, were all sent by McDonald to Mograine.
Only McDonald, with a thousand men, Saidan Dasohan on the left and Tirio Ferdin, sat on the podium of the barracks.
The baroness next to her flatteringly poured a glass of top red wine equivalent to the world's [Lafite] for Madonald, although what red wine is the best, someone doesn't know, but thinks...... Upstream.
"Sitting in the back, waiting to receive people's heads, life is comfortable!"
