Chapter 697, whistling
As a veteran on the battlefield, he has experienced too much life and death.
In the chaos of the battlefield, maybe the brother who was fighting with you one moment will be a corpse the next.
He's really been through too much of this.
But even so, he still couldn't make his whole heart unwavering.
Because he is a man, a living, flesh-and-blood man!
The crossbow string is still pulling apart little by little.
And the whole time, his eyes were always staring at the wild boar man who rushed over with a smirk.
The death of the young man did not buy him much time.
Even the boar man did not stop his progress.
The huge bone rod in his hand was raised again.
I watched the boar man get closer and closer to him.
Brother Li's forehead was uncontrollably and began to overflow with cold sweat.
"Catch up! Catch up with me!! ”
His heart was roaring wildly.
The thin crossbow strings, and his knuckles have begun to spill blood.
But Brother Li didn't seem to feel it, and he was still working hard there.
However, wait until the moment when the crossbow string is completely unwound.
A huge black shadow had already shrouded him underneath.
The smell of blood mixed with an unpleasant stench hit my face.
His eyes were fixed on the boar man who had already killed him.
The only thought in Brother Li's mind was......
"Hurry, hurry!"
The freed hand quickly touched the crossbow quiver behind him.
With an extremely skillful movement, a crossbow arrow was drawn.
And at the same time, of course, the boar man could not stop waiting for him.
Seeing that huge bone rod about to swing off.
At this critical moment.
With a whistling sound.
A sharp short spear that broke through the air was directly inserted into the boar man's back!
The pain in his back made the boar man subconsciously turn around.
It all happened too fast.
Brother Li, who was highly focused at that time, did not have any distraction.
Seize the opportunity and place the crossbow arrow in your hand directly on the crossbow!
At the moment when he made the aiming action, Brother Li actually thought a lot in his mind.
The boar man has thick skin and a thick layer of fat to help him fend off attacks.
If you aim your heart and fire, your bolts may not be able to deliver a fatal hit.
At the same time, because of the body type, he couldn't figure out the specific location of the other party's heart.
With the birth of this idea, Brother Li's gaze shifted all the way from his heart to the neck of the wild boar man exposed by the movement of turning his head!
Subsequently, the trigger was pulled.
With a soft humming sound.
The crossbow arrows that came out of the string, carrying the breath of death, instantly pierced the neck of the boar man.
The huge bone rod fell to the ground with a bang!
The massive body then fell.
There is no doubt that this is an absolute fatal blow.
At the same time, it was at this time that Brother Li, who was panting and coming back to his senses, finally noticed the changes around him.
The wolf howl kept coming.
A large number of swift wolf warriors armed with double knives, and kobold short spearmen with short spears on their backs quickly slaughtered.
The boarman's roar before reminded him of more than just his kind.
And the front-line troops who came to meet them!
In order to ensure the smooth progress of the development of the bitter cold land.
Luo Ji placed a lot of troops on the side of the front-line camp.
Swift wolf warriors and kobold spearmen are undoubtedly the main force here.
The arrival of reinforcements made the situation on this side quickly reversed.
As I've said before, these boar people aren't as stupid as they seem.
After a period of fighting, the boar people, realizing that the situation was not good, decisively chose to retreat.
The battle quickly drew to a close.
Look at the headless corpse in front of you.
Brother Li closed his eyes in pain.
The troops who arrived later escorted the convoy all the way to the front-line camp.
At the same time, they were attacked by a large number of wild boar people on the outskirts of the bitter cold land, and it was also reported to several principals in the front-line camp.
After learning the news, several principals of the front-line camp quickly gathered together to discuss the matter.
The atmosphere inside the tent was slightly solemn.
Originally, the boar people were active in the deeper parts of the bitter cold land.
But they never expected that after a while, the group of wild boar people would actually run to the periphery.
At the same time, they also caused obvious casualties to their convoys carrying supplies.
This does not bode well.
An urgent report was quickly sent from the frontline camp and sent to Spiegel.
Wait until this urgent report arrives.
It's already a month later.
Summer is almost over.
And Luo Ji also returned to Mirror City from the palace of Kamikaze City some time ago.
Looking at the urgent report in his hand from the bitter cold land.
Luo Ji's two eyebrows were directly twisted into a ball.
The convoy transporting supplies was attacked by the boar people on the outskirts of the bitter cold land.
In other words, the boar people came out on the periphery.
That's bad news.
It would have been even worse if the boar people had made their way through the periphery of the bitter cold and into the mountains and forests of the Northlands.
Prevention must be done as early as possible.
Placing the report on his desk, Luo Ji fell into a brief deep thought.
Intensify patrols on the periphery of the bitter cold lands?
No, no, that's a bad idea.
Although it is only the periphery, the area is still not small.
A few patrols simply did not solve the problem.
So far, I can only transfer one more construction team to the past.
At the entrance to the bitter cold land and the northland mountain forest, a sentry camp was built.
Then send troops to station.
After that, find another opportunity to expand the sentry camp into a fortress, which can also be used as a front-line fortress.
It's okay, but there's a problem.
That is, where is he going to bring in a construction team?
There are several major projects that are currently underway that are very important.
It's not easy to get people from anywhere.
Exhaling a long breath, Luo Ji rubbed his eyebrows vigorously, and then asked Lu Yang below......
"Lu Yang, is there any other construction team in the current civilization that can be mobilized?"
In this regard, Lu Yang thought about it for a while.
Then he took out a document that had been reviewed from the pile of papers on the side.
"Your Majesty, some time ago, the construction project on the grassland side has just ended, if you need to mobilize the construction team, this team can be mobilized."
After taking the report, Luo Ji glanced at it a few times.
This construction team was sent out by him a long time ago.
The aim was to expand the three steppe cities.
At the same time, the territory of the grassland region and the Central Plains will be connected.
Now it seems to be finally finished.
When I opened the system map, I saw that three post stations had been established between the two areas at this time.
The territory of the grassland region and the Central Plains region are completely connected.
The update is sent, thank you for the monthly pass of the book friend 'World A'!
