Volume 8: War and Peace Chapter 10: The Unveiling of Chaos (A Feast of Fire)

The sky is whitening, the night is fading, and the light from the horizon is waking up the whole land!

A wasteland gecko crawls out of a crack in the rock, carefully avoiding the dew on the rock surface, ready to welcome the first rays of the morning sun, warming its body with the sun so that its stiff limbs have enough strength to catch its prey.

However, before he could climb a few steps, the slight vibration from the rock under his feet made the wasteland gecko feel a looming danger, and the extremely timid wasteland gecko did not hesitate to turn around and burrow into the stone crevice as fast as he could, which in his humble brain was the safest place in the world.

This time, however, the vault could no longer shelter its tenants, and with a tremendous force exerted on the rocks, the huge boulders broke away from the cliffs that had been attached for hundreds of years and rolled towards the convoy at the foot of the mountain.

The loud roar seemed to blow the horn of attack, and in an instant, rolling wood and stones mixed with countless arrows fell from the sky.

In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, whenever this happens, the attacked team descends into disorder and confusion, and then waits for the enemy to condescendingly storm from the mountain, and finally reaps the humiliation of defeat. This time, however, fate is ready to weave a special silk thread!

The stout bears quickly raised the shields in their hands to form a shield wall, their innate strength gave them enough capital to resist those rolling wood and stones, and the heavy shields protected their companions behind them, and with a roar of rage, the bears who blessed the battle howls looked even more powerful and powerful.

Occasionally, a few arrows passed through the gaps in the shield wall, and before the sharp arrows could penetrate the skin, they were driven by a magical force to change direction, and the basic spell of the protective arrow enchantment was not a difficult skill for the fox mages to learn, and they blessed the corresponding companions with this spell in accordance with the duties assigned in advance at the first time.

The attack didn't work, and the seemingly powerful attack didn't have much more to do than get a few cat-men in the head with a splash of rubble, and of course, the attackers didn't expect this little trick to do anything.

For Avelina, it was important that the convoy of transports, which stretched for several kilometers, stopped!

With a whistle, the leather-clad Avelina led her men to rush towards the convoy, of course, the attackers of a few hundred people could not be compared with the tens of thousands of troops, but the mountains in front of them were not unshakable, and the army of 20,000 people was distributed to each transport vehicle, and there were only about 600 people!

A cat man grabbed the outer wall of the carriage, propped up his hands, deftly climbed onto the roof of the car, covered his forehead with his hand and glanced at it, immediately took a short horn from his waist, and took a deep breath.

A voice as beautiful as a yellow warbler came from the horn, and the cat-man who had finished warning put away his horn, took off the bow and arrow on his back, and stood on the roof of the car with a bow and arrow, ready to meet these inadequate fellows.

It was like a signal of the beginning, and in less than a few moments, there were more than a dozen cat-man rangers standing on the roof of the car, and for these kittens who have been fighting monsters in the wild all year round, shooting arrows on the flat roof of the car is simply easier than eating!

"Rush over!" The surface of this small round shield is covered with a thin layer of skin, which can protect the wooden shield surface from being damaged by friction on the one hand, and on the other hand, it can also reduce part of the impact of the arrows, so that the small round shield can withstand more attacks, but despite this, the small round shield that is not as big as a basin can only protect her head and chest, and after a while, Avelina was shot with two arrows.

Compared to her, other players were not so lucky, a human warrior wearing chain mail had not yet rushed halfway, he had to stop, an arrow accurately pierced his eye socket, the dynamic vision of the cat people is dozens of times that of humans, for these cat people rangers, the distance of tens of meters can not affect their accuracy at all.

"Tempest!" Avelina roared loudly, and not far away, an elven mage who was protected by his companion swung his staff as fast as he could, and a cyan air elemental air mass quickly gathered, and then burst violently under the mage's control, and a violent wind followed.

In this case, even the Cat Ranger will not be able to continue attacking, and the wind will greatly affect the arrows fired, and continuing to shoot arrows in this situation will not yield any results at all except wasting arrows.

Although the kitsune mages in the convoy quickly dispersed the wind, it was enough time for the attackers to travel enough distance for the surviving mage players to quickly bless their companions with a variety of status-based spells, with the sole purpose of using up all their mana as quickly as possible.

"Impact!" With that, Avelina threw her hand away from the shield, the Dark Elf's agility allowed her to wriggle around the two arrows, and as she was about to hit the wall of shields erected by the bears, she jumped to her feet, like a high jumper, trying to leap over the shield.

A short knife slashed diagonally, and the leopard-man samurai standing behind the bears did not froze in a daze, and the powerful explosive force made them jump high and stop Avelina's attack with the weapon in their hands.

Just as the blade was about to touch Avelina, a loud bang came from a few meters away, followed by a violent explosion and flying stones of flesh, several of which were larger pieces of rubble that even knocked several leopard warriors flying.

A miserable smile escaped from the corners of Avelina's mouth, if there was any other choice, she would never let her subordinates choose this method of attack, everyone in the mercenary group was personally selected by her, and most of them were old fellows who left with her from the original guild.

She put her hand into her arms, the simple detonator in her arms was actually a small explosive device, but she knew that as long as it was activated, the alchemy explosives wrapped around her chest would be enough to make no grass grow within a radius of five meters.

Sting! The sound of the blade pulling open the leather armor was heard in her brain, and Avelina closed her eyes and activated the detonator in her arms.

Bang!!!

"Purple-sama! What is this sound? Yakumo Blue in the carriage pressed her ears to the wooden plank, and the heavy walls of the compartment muffled the sound of the explosion.

"Well, it's goblins' alchemy explosives!" Yakumo is no stranger to this kind of sound, compared to the dwarf explosives, the alchemy explosives made by the goblin engineering are the first choice used by players to kill people and steal goods, although the stability is relatively poor, but those things made by the greenskins are absolutely worthy of their propaganda in terms of power.

Low cost, simple to manufacture, powerful !

This slogan also applies to the Goblins' other products, such as the Goblin Airship!

"Here we go! Purple-sama, do you need to send a signal? Yakumo Lan took out a magic stone, and as long as he injected magic power into it, the corresponding magic stone would glow, and the players hiding in the carriage would rush out and give those attackers a head-on blow!

"Well, let's get started! No, wait!!! Yakumo nodded, but immediately stopped Yakumo Blue, "It's not right, there are too few explosions!" ”

"Could it be the reason for the scattered attack on all the transports?"

Yakumo pondered for a moment: "I don't think those guys would make such a stupid decision!" ”

"Haha, sure enough, with this little trick, I can't swallow all the bait!" Bolliwell stood at the top of the hill and watched the flames of the explosion rising at the foot of the mountain.

Standing next to him were Broken Willow and Nobel, the latter apparently pleased with his work, writing and drawing on parchment as he watched the bursting fire.

"Then let's try it, big fish eat small fish, small fish eat dried shrimp, we are small fish, it's okay to bite the hook!" Remnant Flower Defeat Willow said, and made a gesture to a few chasers not far away, and the chaspers, who received the order, lit the improvised launcher around them, and the alchemy explosives wrapped in a special shell were mixed with magic crystals and launched into the air, and then detonated!

Firework?

The cat-man rangers, who had never seen this kind of situation, paused for a moment, and then quickly raised their vigilance, the attackers who rushed down from the top of the mountain just now were already dead, and the players who turned into terrorists were heroic, but because the number was too small, they did not cause much chaos and loss to the entire convoy, or in a few minutes, the remaining players would also become corpses, or scrap of meat.

But soon, the demon soldiers who were at ease no longer felt relaxed!

It wasn't technically a suitable place for an ambush, with the intermittent roads of the wilderness flanked on one side by modest cliffs and earth peaks, and on the other side a gravel wasteland mixed with sparse vegetation, and the rolling hills were littered with large and small rocks and debris.

But it was precisely because of this environment that the cat-man ranger standing on the roof of the carriage would put away his relaxed expression, and in his field of vision, the gray-brown hills in the distance were rapidly covered by a carpet of flames.

It was a carpet of demons, a fiery red carpet, or rather, a moving flame!

At the forefront is the most commonly used cannon fodder by demons, the little devil!

This kind of creature that is shorter than the goblin can be seen everywhere in the demon territory, and the little devil who is a zero-order soldier is the same as the skeleton of the undead, belonging to the lowest level and the most rubbish existence, and even inferior to skeletons in attributes, the only advantage of these little demons is the number! They are at the bottom of the demonic creature food chain, and even some ordinary wild monsters will put them in their recipes. The birth of a little demon is very simple, as long as there is a pool of magma with abundant flame power, this creature hatched from the demon's egg will emerge one by one like maggots in a toilet.

Some demon players even say that they can trample a little devil to death like an ant, don't think this is a joke, in fact, the average player nowadays can only use his feet to step on it, and the damage caused is enough to exceed the maximum amount of blood of the little devil.

But as I said before, although the little devils are very bad, the number is their greatest strength!

As the saying goes, there are thousands of people, even the sky, there are tens of thousands of people, there are tens of thousands of people, boundless, and now the number of these little devils is definitely tens of thousands!

Among these little demons, there are also some special little demons, ordinary little devils basically don't live long, and they will basically become food for other demons within a few days after birth, but a small number of lucky people will survive, and under the tempering of the power of flames, the demon bloodline in the body will be stimulated, either evolve into a higher level of demons, or obtain special abilities, the former means that they have entered the real demon society, and the latter allows them to gather a group of ordinary little demons, Form a separate community.

Ordinary little demons are flaming red, with a pair of chicken wings on their backs, and their weak muscles prevent them from walking upright like humans, and can only crawl on all fours, with fanged mouths and claws as their only means of attack.

Special little devils are very obvious, the red on their bodies is brighter, their body is larger, the fleshy wings on their backs will also be stretched, and some of them will have a blue glow on their front paws, which means that their attacks will absorb the enemy's mana to replenish their own consumption.

But in any case, these little devils are consumables, don't look at the number of mountains and fields, as long as any demon player is willing to take the time, it will not take a few days to gather thousands of little demons in the wild.

Behind these cannon fodder lies a creature that truly deserves to be called a demon: the Horned Demon!

Compared to the little devils, the size of the horned demons has grown to the size of a real hound, they have strong limbs, muscular, and long horns on their heads as a symbol of demons, if the little devils are cannon fodder and food in the demon society, then the horned demons are the coolies in the demon society, low intelligence and no small strength make them the best slaves and hard laborers.

And when facing the enemy, the most common way of fighting the long-horned demons is to rush up and knock the enemy down, strangling their prey with their muscular limbs, or biting the opponent to death with their foul-smelling mouths, some long-horned demons will become extremely strong after training, they will unexpectedly burst out of great power, jump a distance and then attack the enemy, in this respect, they are very similar to the undead ghouls, but in terms of strength, they are more powerful than ghouls.

If you look closely, there are also dark-skinned individuals mixed in with these horned demons, their muscles are more compact and larger, but the flames on their backs are slightly dimmer than ordinary horned demons.

If you despise them for this, you will soon taste the bitterness, this kind of guy called the Howling Horn Demon no longer relies on muscles to win like their own kind, but has learned to use the fire in their body, these Howling Horned Demons will rush into the enemy's formation under the cover of ordinary long-horned demons, and then actively burst out of the fire power in their bodies, filling the surrounding space like terrorists, and when their outbursts are over, they will revert to normal long-horned demons, and destroy enemies with their claws and mouths again.
