Chapter XXIV
The moment Meng Yang's warning sounded on the city wall, his expression instantly became solemn, and he immediately jumped to the position of the high platform of the wall.
Since he knew that the gnolls might attack tonight, he paid special attention to it, there were more than fifty old and weak women and children in the camp, and he did not choose to transfer, but dealt with it head-on, which was a lot of pressure for everyone.
As soon as he climbed onto the wall, Meng Yang felt his throat dry and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
Although since he came to this other world, he has escaped death from the pig-headed man one after another, and has seen the flower-backed spider and the sawtooth tiger, and has even confronted the jackal, but at this moment, Meng Yang still feels frightened.
By the light of the fire that had just lit up on the fence, he could see dozens of tall black shadows in the ruined streets in the distance.
In the flickering firelight shadows, the faces of wolves and dogs were exposed, and their fangs were exposed, and their expressions were hideous.
"There should be twenty or thirty gnolls, this ...... That's a lot more than Phoenix said......"
Looking at these black shadows that appeared outside the city wall, Meng Yang's expression was extremely solemn, the number of gnolls who came to attack the camp was much more than he thought, and these gnolls basically held axes, swords and other weapons in their hands, and even many gnolls were wearing leather armor and armor that were not very suitable.
In addition, in addition to the dozens of gnolls, there were more than a dozen hunting jackals at the front, barking their teeth and barking at the walls of the camp.
"I'll rub it, won't this be a little hanging?"
The corners of Meng Yang's mouth twitched, and his eyes couldn't help but glance at the players who were climbing the wall, in terms of numbers, it was not necessarily too advantageous at this time.
Although he was still convinced of the players' combat effectiveness, he was still a little worried in his heart when he really saw such a large number of monsters surging over.
……
"It's a gnoll!"
In a dark and dilapidated alley, two figures crouched cautiously on the roof of an abandoned building, watching the growing number of gnolls on a ruined street in the distance.
"Be careful, those jackals have a keen sense of smell!" One of the men, who was slightly older, gently reached out and pressed the head of the teenager next to him down.
"We're downwind." The boy shrunk his neck and whispered, "Uncle Gusa, are these gnolls trying to attack that camp?" ”
"That's how it should be." The older man's face was square and resolute, and at this moment two thick eyebrows furrowed, "The people who can survive now in the city of despair are scattered in various camps by the monsters that enter, and I once met a warrior named Bafu in this camp before, according to him, most of them are old people, women and children, and they have no combat ability. ”
"That'...... Then they can't resist the attack of the gnolls. The boy changed color slightly when he heard this, the city of despair is a big city, since the fall, there are some people in each neighborhood who have not had time to escape, but because of the large number of monsters, they have always been a little scattered, and because of the fear of attracting the attention of some powerful beings, even many camps dare not accept too many people.
If the camp in front of you is full of old people, women and children, then in the face of the attack of dozens of jackals, even a little wall fortification, I am afraid it will be difficult to survive.
"Sheridan, we can't help them." The middle-aged man named Gusa sighed softly, "This is a group of gnolls, and there are only two of us now, even if we go back and find someone to help." Let's not talk about whether the leaders of a group of old and weak women and children will agree, even if they do, I am afraid it will be too late. And, you know, not only are there sawtooth tigers and sheep-headed people around our camp, but there's also a scavenger tribe that will be attacked if the movement is too loud and alarms them. ”
"Yes...... You can't always look at it like this, don't you always say that as long as people are alive, they should unite? The young Sheridan asked a little unwillingly.
"Remember our mission, Sheridan." Gusa saw the young man's struggling expression and comforted again, "What we need to look for now is the magic crystal, and the magic crystal mine is very important to the camp right now. ”
When Sheridan heard the word mission, he remembered the purpose of their trip, and the words that he wanted to plead again came to his lips, but he couldn't say any more.
"At most, when the gnolls attack, we will find an opportunity to sneak up from the rear, hoping to lure away a few hunting jackals." Gusa sighed again.
"Wait, this ...... ...... in this camp."
……
The creaking drawbridge was lowered from above the wall, and with Phoenix's order, fifty players, each with a rusty sword, spear and other weapons, walked out of the camp fortress in a hurry, and when they saw the many gnolls standing in front of them, they couldn't help but scream in surprise.
"Damn, this battle is okay!"
"These monsters are very realistic, just look good enough!"
"Are those dogs? This monster also has dogs! ”
"I guess it's a hunter, there's a baby!"
"I think the game is starting to have some fun in addition to being real."
"Yes, yes, fight monsters, this is good!"
"Oh, I'll rub it, the weapons in the hands of these monsters are stronger than these broken copper and iron of ours!"
"Grab it!"
"Yes, kill the male, female...... The female is also killed, well, the dog can stay. ”
However, not all players were excited, among which some less timid male players turned pale instantly after climbing the wall, and several female players even screamed in disgrace.
After all, for players, at this moment, their perception is no different from reality, one by one, eight to two meters tall gnolls, holding weapons, with hideous and terrifying faces, standing in front of you to attack you.
Even if you know it's a game, it's inevitable that some people will be timid.
"Don't panic, the biggest male player in each squad stands in front as a meat shield, and the spearmen are behind."
Xu Zhe looked at the many chaotic players who came out of the wall and hurriedly shouted, this is a team battle in the real sense, some people may not be used to it, but some people are already enthusiastic at this time.
"The pain, the pain, all down! Otherwise, 100% pain will make you want to die. Liu Chuanfeng, who was walking on compass legs, carried a big bone knife and shouted one after another, this is the experience of blood and tears, the last time I didn't adjust my pain at first, I wanted to quit the game directly.
"Ma Xiaoling, where is Ma Xiaoling?"
Sun Shuai stood in front of the team, looked left and right at the team next door, and Ma Xiaoling, who was appointed as the temporary captain, disappeared at some point.
"Forget it, Fifth Team, you male players stand in front and get ready!"
"When you see a jackal together, go up and don't scatter. I don't know if the jackal is powerful or not, but the chrysanthemum is definitely an important weakness, I have more meat to block the knife, the other few hold down their hands and feet, and the rest is directly **. ”
Zhuang Da trembled with his big belly, his face flushed, and he was also extremely excited. This is much more enjoyable than a 5v5 or 40-player team battle, which is dense and looks very cool.
"Dafa, you have grown here, don't make a small fist and beat your chest!" Liu Chuanfeng's ridiculous voice came from the side.
", old lady, no, I have made bait for the pig-headed man with all my meat, and I am a meat shield to carry head-on, and I will be afraid of this small scene. Brothers, rush up and kill them. ”
And when Zhuang Dafa was shouting at the top of his throat, Li Yuncheng, who had been in another team, suddenly showed a surprised look at this time, and glanced at Zhuang Dafa in front of the team next door suspiciously, always feeling that the other party's timbre was a little familiar.
