Chapter 222: Stalemate

"What to do, what to do?" Cold sweat broke out on the forehead of the mayor of Nan'an Town, and his brows were knotted, both wanting to retreat, but unwilling to be defeated without a fight.

According to Tomorrowland's bird scouting methods, it was only a matter of time before the lionmen ambushed in the bushes and grass were spotted.

"What's wrong with you, Mayor?" The lionman behind the mayor whispered.

They found that the mayor's legs were very shaky, and even his tail was unconsciously erected, and it seemed that he was in great trouble.

They didn't dare to look at the river and the sky from the leaves, only the city lord and another deputy mayor secretly observed the river.

After all, the more people watching, the higher the chance of being spotted, and the boat is so huge, it is enough for one or two people to keep an eye on the river.

"Fighting?" The deputy mayor closed the gap between the leaves, and his right hand holding the sword was drenched in fine sweat.

The deputy mayor also saw a large flock of birds take off from the shoulders of the soldiers of Tomorrow City, and as long as their IQ is online, they can understand the role of birds and animals.

Sooner or later, Tomorrow City will discover them, and instead of passively waiting, it is better to take the initiative to attack, or take the initiative to retreat.

"Fight!"

The mayor gritted his teeth, stood up sharply, raised the great sword in his hand, and roared, "For the sake of Lionheart, kill!" ”

"Kill, kill, kill!"

The lions roared and screamed to boost their morale and at the same time to drive themselves to their deaths.

In this battle, they can't escape, and only by swaying the battlefield with blood can they release the depression in their hearts.

As soon as the birds above the forest landed, they heard the roars of hundreds of lions and couldn't help but be startled.

"Goo-goo!" The pigeon quickly flapped its wings and pulled its body up so that it would not get too close to the tree and be stabbed by the lionman.

The last time an owl slept in the forest, it was unfortunately stabbed to death by a lionman, which made some of the birds in Tomorrowland mentally guarded.

……

In the middle of the river, Natasha also heard the roar in the forest, and immediately raised her right hand and ordered the soldiers to prepare to aim.

"Ready!"

At the sound of an order, the sound of a rattle rang out in unison, and each orc raised his flintlock pistol and aimed at the forest.

After half a minute, the lionman did not rush out, and the thunder was heavy and the rain was small, which made the orcs on the ship have a false alarm.

The lion people of the forest also sensed that the orcs on the boat did not want to get off the boat, and the movement in the forest gradually became smaller, only the leaves were still rustling, as if telling them that the lion soldiers were still in the forest.

"Lord Natasha, aren't we going to attack?" There were kobolds who shouted for an attack.

This sortie is also a veteran with a new recruit, and the race is diverse, including kobolds, lions, minotaurs, and even a small number of werewolf teenagers.

"Don't shoot just yet, the enemy doesn't show up, we can't waste bullets." Natasha shook her head, there were a total of 500 soldiers in their group, and each of them had twenty rounds of paper shell bullets, and they were gone.

Although there are few bullets, the power of the musket is obvious to all, and its deterrent power is enough to make the orcs of Southbank Town tremble.

Wait another half a minute, the orcs in Southbank still have no sign of attacking, Natasha frowned, she can't think of staying dry.

He beckoned to the birds and asked them to scout the forest to the east.

A small number of resourceful pigeons are reluctant to take risks, but there are many of them, and there are always some foodies who ignore the danger and are willing to take risks.

Natasha took a small food bag with the food that the birds liked, and put it on the surface to trade, and soon more than two dozen birds flew away from the ship and went into the forest again to reconnoiter the enemy.

The lion man in the forest was still in the forest, and this time he saw the bird flying into the forest, and unceremoniously reached out and stabbed a bird.

The bird's body is small and fast, and it burrows into another leaf crack with a single click, so that the lion soldiers can't hit the bird.

Half a minute later, the birds returned to the flotilla in fear, gesturing with simple body language.

"Goo-goo-goo!" The dove shook its head frantically, fiddled with its wings, and cooed to indicate that there was an enemy in the forest.

"Didn't they bring boats, so they didn't dare to cross the river to fight?" Natasha comprehended the dove's body tone and reached out to beckon an eagle to fly over her shoulder.

The eagle was huge, perched on Natasha's shoulder, noticeably taller than her.

She wanted to touch the eagle's head, but unfortunately she couldn't, so she had to touch the fur on the eagle's belly, and by the way, in simple military sign language, instructed the eagle to fly south to see if there was a fleet on the canal to the south.

"Whew!"

The eagle spreads its big wings, dives, glides, rises and disappears into the clouds.

On the ship, the Templar Thomas shouted a report, and after gaining the right to speak, he reminded: "Lord Natasha, the Leo Awakened have the ability to roar lions, and they can't easily enter the woods, in case they are hit in the brain, one second is enough to decide life and death." ”

"Thomas, I know the forest is dangerous, but the forest is also home to our feline assassins." Another spear-wielding Assassin glared at the Paladin, disconvinced.

"Don't make any noise, this time we have a cannon on the ship, shoot a cannon at their harbor first, and the atmosphere will be hot." Natasha shook her head.

"Harbor?"

"If there is no convoy on the canal, we continue south to their port." Natasha proposes a plan for a bold attack.

"It's not proper, what if we get outflanked, we don't have many bullets."

"Without bullets, wouldn't we fight, wouldn't we run away?" Some orcs burst into laughter at their companions.

During the military training time, the orc soldiers of all races have become one, and the laughter does not affect the harmony.

"Our Tomorrow City is stronger than them, we have to show a strong side, we can't be cowardly."

"They don't know how much ammunition we have in stock, we are in the open, they are in the dark, we can't take the initiative to enter the trap, we should take the initiative to lure them to attack, and it's a good idea to open artillery to hit the port."

As he spoke, the fleet headed south.

If you encounter a ship on the road, you will sink it with a bombardment.

In the woods, the menacing lion soldiers had been waiting for a long time, but after waiting for a minute, they did not wait for the orcs of Tomorrow City to disembark, but saw them continue south

Yes, continue south.

The lion soldiers looked at each other, then looked in unison at their leader, the mayor.

The mayor blushed and scolded angrily, "Despicable orcs of Tomorrow City, come here, bring me bows and arrows, I will shoot through them!" ”

"My lord, you can't shoot me, you can't show your head, if you are shot, the backbone of their South Shore Town will be completely gone." The lion soldiers persuaded one after another.

When the mayor heard this, he calmed down and let the professional archers in the team shoot the fleet.

The archers walked quickly with their bows, looking for an open area, otherwise it would be embarrassing for the arrow to hit the trunk of the tree.

There are only a few archers who can shoot accurately, and the other archers either can't shoot accurately or are not strong enough.

They weaved through the forest to an empty beach with a dense forest behind them.

This canal is very spacious, about 20 meters wide, and can accommodate large sails.

Standing on the border between the forest and the sand, they took their big bows in their hands, drew their feathered arrows, and put their bowstrings on them.

It was also at this moment that the archers all saw the orcs on the deck of the fleet raise their guns, and the dark muzzles of their guns were aimed at them.
