Chapter 63: Night Attack
Lizardmen.
One of the most annoying creatures in the swamp, they have a large population, although their strength is not comparable to that of the gnolls, only the most basic creature level 2, but they are more than ten times more numerous than the gnolls. Basically, a small group of lizardmen will also have a size of one or two hundred, and once they are pulled out in a raw battle, they are dozens or hundreds of warriors, and most adventurers will not provoke them. There will be at least one spellcaster in the lizardmen's race, either a warlock or a druid, who is proficient in domesticating and enslaving monsters, and can cast few spells, but will carry some swamp beasts with them.
For example, the swamp monitor lizard.
A challenge level 6 creature with a body length of 5 meters and a weight of about 15oo pounds.
"Can you help us?" The girl she had seen last night came over, her eyes were red, she looked up at Sauron with hope, and said, "You are an adventurer. And they all say you're very good, you must have a way to deal with those lizardmen, right? ”
Sauron shook his head lightly and said seriously, "I'm sorry. I can't help it. ”
"There are a lot of them, and there are quite a few archers, and this warrior can't stop them, and if they don't leave, they will kill everyone when they take the village."
Lizardmen are about the same as humans.
They grow some food, hunting is the main source of meat, and the gathering place is a bit like a village, with either dug caves or rudimentary huts. The human villages in the wilderness have at least a few hundred people, and these lizardmen also have hundreds of people, but there are not many warriors in humans, but the proportion of warriors in the lizardmen is more than 5o%, and they also have a lot of archers. Dealing with this creature is not something that can be solved by individual bravery, at least there is no one present who is high enough to have a professional level that can open a peerless existence in the crowd.
Enter a warrior with a class level 15 or higher, or a caster at level 12 or higher.
Let him deal with 5o-1oo alone, and leave the rest to the others, it should be possible to repel these lizardmen.
The lizardfolk were forced to migrate out of the Black Gas Swamp.
All nearby places close to the water environment have the potential to become their new targets, and it is a struggle for the survival environment, and the process is very brutal. Peaceful coexistence is a luxury, and eventually there will inevitably be a victor who divides the territory. Human villages will fight with each other for irrigation water, and even deaths, not to mention this kind of cross-racial territorial competition. Tens of millions of Indians, Indians, Ans, and people originally lived in the Americas, but less than one-tenth of them were slaughtered.
Tens of millions of people were slaughtered in the process.
And that's just a battle between humans, and if you count the different racial disparities, the process becomes even bloodier.
Lizardfolk kill all humans, including women and children.
This world is very bloody and dark, and there is no need to have too many illusions about the civilization process, and human beings have also come out step by step.
Sauron wouldn't risk it for them, he didn't have that ability, and it wasn't worth it.
He can only give his own Jianyì!
In the end, it is their business whether they can leave or not, and the final result must be borne by themselves.
………………
Probably because of the attack of the lizardmen, the militia captain forgot to say that he was going to arrange a place for him to stay. Sauron didn't care, he went to the firewood house to rest, and arranged double manpower patrols outside, and the militia captain was discussing with the village elders whether they should be relocated. Uprooting was a difficult choice, and an argument ensued between them, but Sauron had no interest in getting involved. There is a limit to personal force if it is not in the legendary realm, and it is okay to deal with a few lizardmen, but there is no way for him to do more.
So he plans to leave tomorrow and continue to see what lies ahead.
Fearful of the lizardmen, Sauron didn't fall asleep, but just closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, as they might sneak up at night.
The night is getting darker.
Sauron never fell asleep, just a half-asleep, half-awake state of false sleep.
Suddenly, as if he heard the sound of something landing, he opened his eyes in an instant, and then he rolled over and climbed up from the grass.
Sonorous.
Sauron pulled out his cutlass and felt the threshold to walk outside.
Outside there was the light of torches, as the militia was on alert during the day's raids, and the sound of vigil patrols could be heard. In this case, even he didn't have much confidence to sneak in, so he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart. But because of his usual caution, Sauron walked along the house to the fence. He hadn't seen any sign yet, there were torches next to him, and the watchtower was always guarded, so it was difficult to get closer.
"What is this?"
Just as Sauron was about to go back to sleep, he suddenly stopped, he leaned over and looked at the ground, there was a little wet mark on it, it had been relatively dry for the past two days, and it had not rained, and the ground near it was dry, but this one was a little wet. He carefully picked up the dirt and smelled it, a faint fishy smell, as if something had been left behind.
"Lizardmen!?"
Sauron's cold hair suddenly rose all over his body, and he rolled his back against the wall, holding the scimitar across his chest, and said in a condensed voice, "Stalker? ”
Lizardman Stalker.
Only advanced stalkers can be touched unnoticed, and they can achieve a stealth-like effect in the shadows when they sneak for 1oo points, and it is difficult to see their traces with the naked eye.
"Not good!"
Sauron ran towards the location of the watchtower, fearing that a lizardman stalker had already touched it.
Bang.
Suddenly there was a muffled sound from behind, followed by a woman's shout: "Oh no! The warehouse is on fire! ”
The sound suddenly spread throughout the village.
The patrolling guards and militiamen near the watchtower were stunned for a moment, and immediately someone tried to run over to put out the fire.
"Oops." Sauron didn't expect the lizardmen to know how to set fire first, and almost without thinking about it, he shouted, "Enemy attack! There's a lizardman out there! ”
I was stunned for a moment.
Suddenly there was a sound of bowstrings vibrating in the darkness, and then the guards on the watchtower trembled all over, and then they fell from above with a pop. An arrow shot out of the darkness, piercing his leather armor and into his heart through his chest, killing him instantly.
"Longbowmen!"
Sauron suddenly disappeared into the shadows, and the lizardmen had actually trained longbowmen, and the leather armor of these militiamen looked like papier-mâché in front of the longbow. The ordinary militia was obviously a little flustered, but the retired experienced adventurers quickly reacted and began to gather others to defend, they have a wealth of combat experience, although they have said goodbye to the adventure career, but they are not yet overwhelmed.
Bang bang bang!
There was a dull thud outside the door, followed by a young man's frightened shout: "Eat...... Ogre! ”
Sauron's mood sank into a trough all of a sudden.
He clenched his scimitar and took a deep breath, and felt behind him, this village might not be able to hold on, and he had to find a way to break through if necessary. The most important thing now is not to deal with the lizardmen and ogres outside, but to take out the sneakers who sneak in, and these enemies that can hide in the shadows are the most dangerous things.
If they are allowed to sneak attack, they don't have to wait for the outside to be breached, and the inside will be completely chaotic.
"I didn't expect to meet my peers so quickly!"
Sauron's expression was solemn, and he quietly moved along the corner, his figure blurred in the shadows, and he clenched his scimitar and moved forward little by little, keeping an eye on the ground around him. Stalkers cannot see clearly with the naked eye, and in their stealth state they are the effect of stealth-like magic, and can only judge their location by a few special signs, such as footprints left on the ground, and slight movements when they move.
Sauron hadn't fought his peers once or twice, and as long as they showed a little bit, he could pinpoint the location of his enemies.
The whole village was in a panic.
There were screams from women and children, as well as shouts from adult men, and the long-standing militia training had finally had some effect, and many adult men took up arms and gathered. The fire in the warehouse was getting bigger and bigger, and suddenly the light distorted in front of the burning fire, as if it was a hallucination, and a hazy figure appeared and then disappeared, and Sauron rushed out like a cheetah in an instant, and the scimitar in his hand slashed directly at the empty air in front of him!
A splash of blood.
Something that looked like a lizard-human hybrid showed its mark.
