Chapter 382: Beast Cavalry
At this time, the scout leader Histan stepped forward to reply, and he and Tang Zhi found that the opponent's brute cavalry was about 350 people through a day and a night of reconnaissance, and the rank had reached the twelfth order, of which three captains and two similar brute cavalry leaders had reached the thirteenth order.
As for the weapons they use, in addition to broad-bladed knives, some of them use huge chain hammers. If you attack a city, it will cause heavy damage to the city gates.
The attack weapon of the top class scorpion is its own double pincer, as for the number of not 10 but 11, and this extra one is stronger and burly than the others, and it is suspected that it is the top combat power of the thirteenth order or even the fourteenth level.
As for the number of orcs and ironclad giant bears, the number is similar to that of the previous reconnaissance, the only thing that has not been detected before is that there are hundreds of fifth-order Yanai beemen in this tribe, these are somewhat similar to the products of the combination of bees and elves, with elve-like beautiful faces and transparent wings of bees. The minions found were three feet long, thin but powerful, and armed with tail spikes with bee venom, which came from the dead mutant Yanai bees, which bleed and stiffened when they hit enemies, and were about the same length as a human dagger with a short sword.
What makes Tang Zhi and Histan a little strange is that in this tribe, they did not find the existence of beast trainers who matched their previous guesses, and the status of the ironclad giant bear is a bit strange in this tribe, it seems that it is not a tribal subordinate army, and these ironclad giant bears are protected in the center of the team when they are stationed at night, but the beast cavalry and the scorpion man are responsible for patrolling the night.
Generally speaking, it is normal for barbarian tribes to have other biota to follow, but in most cases, these biota belong to subordinate races, and the characters such as cannon fodder are what they should do, so why are these ironclad giant bears treated so specially? Although there was some confusion as to why this was the case, everyone was more concerned about whether the territory would be safe when they met them.
However, come to think of it. The final answer was not necessarily, even if we didn't consider the thousands of orcs, Yanei beemen, and more than 600 ironclad giant bears, they were very unsettling with the brute cavalry alone, which was 350, each of which had the ability to fight the cavalry captain Banov, not to mention five top cavalry and eleven top scorpions.
After listening to Hisstein's briefing on the investigation. After a while, everyone opened their mouths to put forward their opinions, but it was very difficult to put them into practice, not to mention that the attitude of the other party was not clear, and if they dared to sneak attack, it would only lead to a real war.
And there are also many high-speed troops in the opposing army, in addition to those terrible cavalry, there are many centaur warriors and half-orc crossbowmen in the thousands of half-orc teams. Moreover, even the elves could not escape the pursuit of the cavalry, unless it was in the woods, and the other side knew that it had been in battle for a long time when they were marching and camping. How easy it is to be deceived.
The result of the final discussion was a reluctant choice of defense, after all, the territory had just experienced a war, and in addition to the dead soldiers, there were still many wounded who had not healed. In addition, the gate and fence of the territory are damaged, and they need to be repaired urgently. So Li Ran ended the meeting after arranging the personnel.
For the next two days, everything was in full swing, except for the Shadow Blade and Purple Cloud Blossom who routinely went out to harvest and collect. Xia Houben and Tang Zhi also quickly cleared out several groups of four-armed blood apes, and brought back a lot of materials and prisoners. And Li Ran was after taking in these captives. The main work was also placed on cooperating with the old village chief Morga to complete the construction and defense of the territory.
Facing a barbarian tribe that was even more powerful than before, everyone in the territory was a little worried, but out of trust in the lord, the residents did not panic, and even the morale of the warriors was maintained well, and the Zeriramo orc prophet Tanilov gave him a big surprise. Although he only expressed his willingness to follow Li Ran in his personal name, he also said that he would discuss with the other two prophets about moving the camp here after returning next time. And Relch, who is an ally, also said that he would go back to discuss this matter with the tower master Kunai Soyd.
On the fourth day after the battle with the four-armed blood ape, Li Ran on the lookout finally saw this barbarian tribe appear in front of his eyes, and from the information transmitted by Histen, this barbarian tribe had been wandering around for some reason. There was no sign of a rush to migrate, which was also something that made Li Ran feel even more worried.
Looking back at his territory, he found that the soldiers were basically in a state of combat readiness, and their morale was relatively high. This was somewhat reassuring to him. However, looking at the opponent's team, although there are thousands of half-orcs of all kinds, there is no confusion at all, and the whole team moves slowly and orderly, but it is the most effective rectangular formation when the cavalry attacks the main battle arms, which shows that the leader of the other party is also a good fighter, which makes Li Ran a little nervous.
In fact, in the face of the barbarian tribe this time, he is not worried about those barbarian cavalry, although they are amazingly high in number, but the cavalry as the main battle class is not suitable for attacking the city, on the contrary, these iron-armored giant bears and Yanei beemen are the biggest hidden dangers, if Yanei bees use it well, they can instantly restrain their own side's long-range troops, plus their centaurs and half-orc ranged troops, it will cause a devastating blow to the ranged troops.
And those giant bears wearing iron armor, although I don't know what the specific breed is, but they are originally known for their strong physique and excellent defense, plus those iron armor, their defense can be imagined, not only the elven archers and mages have no way to deal with them, but I am afraid that even his minotaurs and Modo warriors can't quickly solve them in a heads-up. Coupled with the fact that their number has reached more than 700, once they are allowed to invade the territory, their destructive and combative power is definitely higher than that of those barbarian cavalry.
As for the dozen or so top troops, Li Ran really had some headaches, if it was only a few, although Lieshi and Tanilov on his side were not suitable for fighting alone, but there were also Zeriramo Orc Captain Tulga, Leopard Leader Borken, High Rock Minotaur Leader Saquill, and Mutant Frost Mastiff Leader. In addition, Tang Zhi and Xia Houben both have the ability to fight with the top-level troops, at least they can restrain each other.
However, the other party actually had more than a dozen top-level troops, which gave him some headaches, so before the war, he had discussed with Turga, if it really didn't work, he had to let a few of his personal guards become Fulongmon, but fortunately, the other party also agreed.
However, just as Li Ran was considering these war factors, things took a strange turn, and the barbarian tribe that had been lined up in front of the territory, after observing for a long time, suddenly walked out of the team and flew to the territory without carrying weapons, indicating to Li Ran and the others that their leader wanted to talk to the lord here about something.
Originally, he thought that the other party was also asking for supplies like other tribes, so the old village chief Morga walked out of the territory with a few leopard warriors after asking Li Ran for instructions.
At this time, after the other party saw the people coming out of the territory, five brute beast cavalry and two scorpion men slowly walked from behind him, one of the scorpion men was obviously much stronger than the other, it seemed that this should be the leader of the scorpion. As for the five brute beast cavalry, they were all top-level existences of the thirteenth order, and they should be the captains detected by Histan's side.
Under the strong pressure of the opponent's seven top-level troops, several Terran warriors behind the old village chief Morga were obviously a little flustered, but fortunately, in addition to being an old village chief, the former was also a good archmage, and he performed a condensation technique to calm down the leopard warriors who wanted to escape.
Looking at the dozens of giant warriors on the wall, a brute cavalry at the front suddenly stared at the old village chief Morga and asked, "You are the lord of this territory?" ”
The other party's condescending posture obviously did not scare the old village chief, the mercenary experience in his youth made him face many terrible monsters, even the real demons have seen, at this time he smiled and waved his hand and said: "I'm not a lord, but what supplies do you need, just tell me directly, I can call the shots at this point."
Morga, who was already fully prepared for bargaining, did not expect that what was waiting for a while was the ridicule of the other party, and after a while, the other party said that he did not want materials, but he had something to discuss with the lord.
The old village chief Morga scratched his head with some doubts, and after seeing that the other party did not seem to be a fake, he reluctantly returned to the territory and told Li Ran the other party's attitude.
"Lord, you have to be careful, the other party's posture just now is obviously coming to attack the city, but it is only to see that our side is not weak, so we stopped," Doric reminded on the side.
Li Ran nodded to show his understanding, he also saw that the other party had just put out an attack formation, and the other party also admitted that it was not for food and supplies, so they had only one way to say that they did not attack immediately, and they saw that the strength of their side was a little scrupled.
Although he was a little puzzled, thinking that it was the best option to avoid this battle, Li Ran decided to go out and ask in person.
After a while, I saw that the gate of the territory slowly opened again, and Li Ran rode out on the Moon Stone Beast, in addition to Xia Houben riding a triangular rhinoceros to accompany him, followed by the four top troops of the four top troops, the captain of the Zereramo orcs, Tulga, the leader of the leopard people, Borken, the leader of the high rock minotaur, Saquill, and the leader of the mutant frost elephant mastiff.
Maybe I didn't expect that this small territory also had so many top-level combat power, and the brute beast cavalry and scorpion people on the opposite side were somewhat surprised. However, the next moment they recovered, and their gaze at Li Ran was not as arrogant and presumptuous as they were staring at Morga just now.
"Honorable leaders, it's an honor to meet you here, I don't know what you are doing when you pass by my small territory, looking for me?" Looking at the five brute knights and the two scorpion men in front of him, Li Ran saluted and said. (To be continued......)
