Chapter 281: The Battle That Belongs to the Noxians
The game of war begins.
Belongs to the Gnoll Legion and the Noxian Cavalry, as well as the Gnoll Chief Habakak and the Raging Knight Kree.
Two people, two legions!
Constantly sending minions and heavy cavalry to fight in the path of the Gnoll Legion, the increasingly cold night could not hide the smell of blood like rust, and also stimulated the gnolls soldiers who were active around the camp.
The half-mark moon wheel was hidden behind the clouds, and the bright starlight was sprinkled with a touch of blood.
The roads of Silverpine Province showed traces of fierce battles, and on closer inspection, they were mostly the corpses of gnolls, their hideous heads covered with terror, and the blood that flowed wet their tattered clothes.
Dada! Dada!
The running gnolls landed on all fours, their bloodstained weapons on their shoulders, and their wheezing mouths exhaled white mist.
In front of the camp's fence, the gnolls had dispersed, leaving a path to walk.
"Report, five miles ahead of the crossroads were attacked by human heavy cavalry, and the losses were heavy, and the number is unknown." In front of the huge tent in the center, the gnolls knelt down and said quickly.
"Go on, go back and investigate!" Habakak stood still, his gray fangs baring out of his mouth, and his oppressive breath filled the air.
"Yes, Chief Chief." The gnolls immediately got up and left.
Until the sound outside the tent disappeared, Habakak's face gradually became solemn, and the recent tentative attack, the gnolls under his command suffered serious losses, and I have to say that the human heavy cavalry is powerful.
The temptation continued, and the battle under the night continued, and the mournful howls spoke of the coldness of the night.
The gnolls would return to the camp from time to time to report at first, but the time was getting longer and the war was getting more and more intense, which Habakak did not expect, but it was not the character of the gnolls to retreat, and more and more gnolls soldiers were invested.
Crackle! Smack!
Inside the spacious tent, where the shoddy magic lamps hung flickered dimly, Habakak sat in the main seat, four gnoll leaders on each side, one of whom had a hideous scar that spread from his right shoulder to his waist and was roughly wrapped in linen.
"I led the gnoll heavy armored warriors under my command, and I accidentally encountered a heavy cavalry, and I lost nearly half of my troops to gnaw this hard bone." A weak look appeared on the face of the gnoll leader, and he said with a half-bowed body.
The thousand-year-old history of war among the jackals can be said to contain almost the vast majority of battles, which also taught the gnolls to be cunning and cruel.
And in this night battle, Habakak arranged for the gnoll commander under his command to lead several teams of gnoll heavy armor warriors out to try their luck, but he didn't expect that there would really be gains.
This can also be seen from this human heavy cavalry is very confident in its own combat effectiveness and is never afraid of strong enemies.
"Is this the placement of human heavy cavalry?" Habakak got up from his seat, his tall, strong body obscuring the magic light, he looked down at the corpses of the heavy cavalry in front of him, his face was very solemn, his armor was covered with blood and flesh, and the pitch-black armor was not owned by the forces he knew.
Another point is that the strength of this human heavy cavalry is indeed very strong, and two teams of the gnoll heavy armored warriors he discharged have not returned, and the gnolls have just reported that they have found their trampled corpses.
"The heavy cavalry of less than two thousand people has such strength, it is the heavy cavalry hidden by the Gate of Sorrows? Or the Violet Guards Regiment in Limontamlu? Habakak murmured, the night encounter was not for nothing, at least he had a rough idea of the opponent's approximate strength, and the formidable combat ability.
"Maybe there's a hidden powerhouse? Can give me such a threat! ”
In fact, in the middle of the confrontation, Habakak wanted to lead the Guards Legion to take the initiative to find it, and it was best to completely destroy the harassing heavy cavalry in the field, but he smelled the smell of danger, it was a demonic mark engraved on the gray fur, which kept flashing, as if expressing something.
"Order down, stop sending minions, and wait for dawn before the army acts collectively!" Habakak said in a deep voice, since he has obtained the information he wants, then sending the gnolls out again is just giving his life for nothing.
Outside the tent, the moon is dim, the stars are hidden, the night is about to turn over, and the light is slowly coming.
Bah!
Kree spat out a mouthful of blood, and wiped his left hand on the gray plush chin covered with blood, which was sticky and fishy.
"Damn gnolls, how come there are so many? Is it all the gnolls on the border of the Kingdom of Stoke? With a flash of silver-white light, Kree looked at the camp in the distance, and the countless black dots that were densely packed with them, all representing the gnolls soldiers.
"Lord Kree, what are we going to do?" Gregory said slightly tiredly, the night of rushing and killing made the Noxian cavalry who had just finished repairing a little unbearable.
"How? With the way we Noxians fight, of course! Kree said heartily. Ordered to go down and arrange for war stonemasons to observe the movements of the Gnoll Legion, and once there are minions that break away from the legion, arrange for the soldiers to eat them directly. ”
"Fate and victory are on our side, we have time! I just don't know if this group of Gnoll legionnaires will have time to play with us! ”
Kree drove Sgar away quietly, followed by Gregory with the Noxian cavalry, leaving behind a small group of war stonemasons and shadowrunners.
The War Masons are a group of resourceful scouts, engineers, and warriors, and this task is easy for them.
The next battle is called a weird war of attrition, which is said to be attrition, but for Kree, it is a game, a game that belongs to the growth of Noxian soldiers.
The gnoll legions are too cumbersome, no matter how many soldiers they send out, they are always toyed with and applauded, and when they are small, they are directly devoured by the human heavy cavalry; There were too many people, and the human heavy cavalry turned around and left, and they couldn't catch up at all.
The current situation is a dilemma for Habakak, or regret, regret the greed in his heart, which has created the current scene, and the silver pine province has not received much loot, but the loss of the gnolls has made him feel painful.
But they had to send out their minions, because they had to know exactly where they were going, and with their keen sense of smell, they found a place where a large number of humans gathered.
Immediately, Habakak ordered the Legion of Gnoll Soldiers to march quickly, and it wanted to kill urgently to awaken the gnolls' sluggish mood, which was very important for the Gnoll Legion now on the brink of chaos!
Killing and bloodlust are the claws of the gnolls, and if they are lost, the gnolls' invasion will be a complete failure, and the human heavy cavalry will never let go of such an opportunity.
