Chapter 342: Hunters and Hunters
Enemy attack? Where?
Although the end of the road was empty, Hargreaves' roar was like a match that lit the fuse of dynamite, blasting open the gates of the city that had just calmed down, and the defenders on the city walls and the merchants outside the city were all ants on the hot pot again, moving anxiously and hastily.
This time, the commander of the "Mountain Guard" did not immediately notify his subordinates to close the city gate, and while staring at the empty "Black Fire Path" in the distance, he yelled at Fletcher beside him:
"Angry Lion, take the soldiers who participated in the battle just now, bring these noisy merchants into the city, all gather behind the city gate to watch, and wait for the battle to check their identities one by one and release them, if anyone does not cooperate, solve it directly on the spot! Others, array! Didn't you just think you didn't have a chance to do it? Now that the opportunity has come, cheer up Lao Tzu! Get ready for battle! ”
Hargreaves' voice was even louder than Fletcher's, and his voice was as cold and hard as steel, revealing an iron and murderous aura.
Ready to fight? With whom?
Fletcher was a little confused, but he had no doubt that his regimental commander would joke about such a thing at such a time, but he really didn't see anything.
"Commander, what's going on? The Beastmen are here again? ”
"I don't know, but I feel the earth trembling, a regular tremor, and a force of cavalry of no small size is rushing towards here! The number is about 1,000, I will lead people to carry it, and you should hurry up and enter the city. ”
As a high-level mid-level golden swordsman, Hargreaves' five senses are much sharper than ordinary people's, and with the experience accumulated over the years of battlefield, he can detect the approach of the enemy in advance through the slight vibration of the ground, and even judge the approximate number.
Thousands of cavalry are definitely a force worth paying attention to, but the "border town" is not afraid, so Hargreaves did not close the city gates.
At this time, most of the forces of the "Mountain Guards" were gathered at the gate of the city, and the five brigades, except for half of the first brigade who had been stationed in the lord's mansion for a long time, the rest were all here, more than 4,000 people, plus the regimental commander himself was in charge, Fletcher believed that even if the enemy doubled again, it was not their opponent.
By the way, not counting the defenders on the city wall, I'm afraid those crow hunters won't have a chance to make a move this time.
It's just that this thing is a little strange, is it a centaur and a beast? Then why didn't they join the other beastmen before, if the thousand cavalry in front of them had joined the battle, maybe the city gate had been breached by now, and they would have already entered the belly of a certain Chaos Mastiff.
It's too late to be afraid, time on the battlefield is the most precious, since the enemy's surprise attack has been discovered by the regiment commander in advance, then there is no need to worry too much, although Fletcher also wants to continue to fight with the brothers, but his physical condition really does not allow it, not only him, but other soldiers who have just participated in a high-intensity battle cannot participate in the battle, but it is still okay for them to maintain order at the city gate and organize merchants to enter the city.
As soon as those ordinary people who had long been frightened heard that they could take refuge in the city, their mood was suddenly like sitting on the magic flying carpet of Arabi, and they flew from the bottom of the valley of death to the sky, one by one they were as obedient as little rabbits, very cooperative, they saw the "mountain guards" who had just left the city as if they were facing a great enemy, and they knew that there was another enemy coming, for fear of angering the defenders, being left outside, and experiencing the danger just now.
The "Forgiveness Mercenary Group" was arranged to enter the city first due to its excellent performance before, but after reluctant, Repp chose to let everyone go first and stay by himself, for the simple reason that the lord was still outside.
Since the green-skinned boss turned into a human form, things have become more and more elusive, he disappeared for one night before leaving, and then he brought back a tomb king from nowhere, and just now he single-handedly killed among the beastmen, and he didn't take those fierce and evil creatures in his eyes at all, like walking in the street, and now it was even more excessive, and he rushed out again without saying a word, and Fletcher had already told the news that their regiment commander had discovered the enemy, and there were thousands of cavalry approaching, it was very likely to be centaurs and beasts, no matter how powerful the lord was, Can he still resist the onslaught of so many cavalry with a body of flesh and blood?
The same question arose in the minds of Hargreaves, Fletcher, Fitandilla, and the other soldiers, what the hell was this Norsca woman going to do?
The answer to this question is probably known only to her.
When the formation of the "Mountain Guards" was in full formation, when the merchants had begun to enter the city one after another, when Brienne's back had already run to the middle of the city gate and the horizon, the enemy finally appeared.
Dozens of burly monsters appeared in everyone's sight, they were covered in heavy armor, holding huge two-handed weapons, and staring at the huge bull heads on their heads, the horns on which were like metal, glittering in the sun with a terrifying cold light.
It's a minotaur! The bravest of the beastmen, the heaviest heavy infantrymen, was running towards the gate with heavy steps, panting, and at such a speed that it would not be a few minutes before they collided with the lonely figure.
Then, the next thing to appear is the hordes of centaurs and beasts that roar.
The answer was soon revealed, but to everyone's surprise, except for the stone, a charming smile appeared on her beautiful face with her back to everyone under the scorching sun.
Hargreaves felt fine, with the sound of rumbling hooves, a large group of cavalry rose from the horizon, as before, the sheer number made them look like a tide, but this time the wave was not black, but ...... Green!
Yes, a wave of green water came surgingly, and not long after it appeared, it drowned the minotaurs in front of it at a very fast speed, and the minotaurs, who were three meters tall, sank down in an instant like a child in the water, as if they had never appeared.
After catching up and dealing with these minotaurs, the galloping green tide came to an abrupt end, as if it had been discussed, and the Norscan woman on the other side also stopped, but she did not turn back, but faced more and more cavalry in the distance alone.
The two sides, which are extremely different in number, actually face off like this.
On the other side, Hargreaves at the gate of the city recognized the true identity of the enemy at the first time, and they all guessed wrong.
"It's greenskin! It's a green-skinned goblin wolf rider! Wrong! With such a big physique, could it be a big goblin marauder? ”
No one in the frontier town will be unfamiliar with these green creatures, the devastating disaster a few years ago is still vivid, and no one has forgotten the blood feud of the ruined family, when facing the enemy again, not only Hargreaves has a murderous aura on his face, but even ordinary soldiers involuntarily clenched the weapons in their hands and quickened the rhythm of breathing.
Truth!
Everyone finally reacted at this time, it turned out that the minotaurs they saw just now were not attacking the city, but fleeing for their lives, so to speak, the beastmen who attacked before were actually prey, and the hunters chasing them were these green-skinned cavalry!
The only person who knows all about it is only one person, and that is the stone.
