Chapter 199: The Great War is Imminent
The half-werewolf army stopped at a position of six hundred meters in front of the fortress, which was the limit distance of the half-werewolf archers, and they measured the enemy according to their own standards, which showed that they attached great importance to the fortress, and it also showed that Long Zhen really hurt them.
The eight or nine meter-high city wall was erected in front of him, and the half-werewolf did not rush to attack, the commanders of the three phalanxes gathered together and discussed for more than ten minutes, and finally let the team retreat and retreat directly to the bottom of the hillside three kilometers away.
Salvatore on the city wall was happy, he thought that the half-werewolf saw the high walls of the city and the large number of soldiers, so he directly dismissed the idea of attacking, but soon he found out that something was wrong, the half-werewolf did not leave, but sat on the ground collectively, took out dry food and nibbled on it, as if preparing for the upcoming big battle.
What's more, he saw a dozen half-werewolves break away from the group and run in the direction they came.
"It's ......"
Four words flashed through Salvatore's mind - request for reinforcements!
His face sank rapidly, they had fought the half-werewolves three times, each time with their own injuries, and they knew quite well about the combat power of the half-werewolves, even the most ordinary half-werewolves could compete with three heavily armed human awakened people.
In order to completely defeat the half-werewolves, he continued to recruit the awakened nearby, and the army under his command was close to 4,000, however, the number of the half-werewolves' army was also expanding.
Salvatore didn't know how many troops the half-werewolves had, and his scouts couldn't get close to the other party's camps, but standing on some high ground, he could still clearly see that the half-werewolf camps had changed from one at the beginning to five now.
Because of this, Salvatore sent people to secretly build a fortress by the river, and when winter came, he resolutely abandoned the original camp and moved the entire population into the fortress, so that he could not detect the specific number of enemies, so that he did not dare to fight the half-werewolves in the field, because as long as he suffered a defeat, he could end up with the total annihilation!
He thought that after the walls were high enough, the iron-smelting technology developed, the armaments were better, the soldiers were more numerous, and they had all undergone rigorous training, he would fight the half-werewolves to the death.
Unexpectedly, it was when the momentum was good, and those hateful Huaxia people actually lured the half-werewolves over and forced the big war to be staged in advance.
Salvatore knew that those Huaxia people must be fighting the idea of the fortress, their last military shock was amazing, but they would never take the fortress with only a few hundred people, the result was likely to be a defeat for both sides, the Huaxia people did not want to bear this kind of loss, so they lured the half-werewolf over, and it was extremely vicious.
Anger swelled in his heart, Salvatore wanted to kill all the Chinese people in the city, so as to warn the Chinese army outside the city, but he finally suppressed this terrible thought, he knew that the war was imminent, and this would only shake the hearts of the army and the people, and if the fortress was broken by the half-werewolves, no one would survive.
The only thing that can be done now is to arrange the defenses in every place, so that the soldiers can understand that there is no way to retreat, and there is only one way to fight against the water.
This is the main reason why he built the fortress by the river.
Beckoning everyone to sit down and rest, ordering the logistics department to bring food and water, Salvatore led a group of generals to inspect the three city walls to stabilize the morale of the army and prepare for the upcoming big battle.
For a time, the three forces on the battlefield were all adjusting their state and preparing to attack.
…………
After lunch, most of the officers and men of the expeditionary force sat cross-legged on the snow to exercise and breathe, and a small number of them did not sleep well last night, and they were seizing the time to replenish their energy at the moment.
Niya sat in a slightly cornered position, curiously looking at the Beamon giant beast in front of her, this big guy was also sitting on the ground, sitting like a baby who had just learned to crawl, with her legs nested, her upper body leaning forward slightly, and from time to time pinching a forty or fifty pound wild fish into her mouth, crunching and chewing for a while, and eating it in three or two.
Beamon can eat eighty or ninety crazy fish in one meal, which is equivalent to two to three tons, and only eats meat and is not vegetarian, except for the spiritual fruit elixir, of course, but fortunately, it can be managed for six or seven days after eating one meal, otherwise Liu Zhi will not take it on the road.
Beamon is not hungry now, it had already eaten once three days ago, but because the war was imminent, it was asked by Liu Zhi to eat a little, and it was both respectful and afraid of Liu Zhi in its heart, especially after Liu Zhi entered the Xuantian Dacheng, the degree of fear rose sharply, and he did not dare to disobey any order from Liu Zhi.
Of course, it didn't resist eating, and Liu Zhi also threw a palm-sized spirit fruit to it, which made it happy.
The reason why Nia looked at Beamon was out of curiosity about the monster beast and because of her special abilities.
That's right, she had already awakened, four days ago, in fact, even earlier, the vitality in her body had reached a critical point, but she didn't have a thorough understanding of the body opening method taught by Liu Zhi, and in order to achieve a better awakening effect, it was only delayed for a few days.
Her special ability is called the "Druid Eye", and it is very effective, once used, it is like bringing a thermal imaging camera, and she can see the energy in the body of monsters, plants, and humans.
After obtaining this ability, she was very excited, most of the people in the expeditionary force were looked at by her, the one with the most energy was Liu Zhi, and the whole body showed a color close to dark green, followed by Bimeng, which was slightly lighter than Liu Zhi, and then Fang Shaochuan, Duan Qi, Long Zhen, Gu Xiaoying and others, all of which were light green.
However, there was one person she couldn't see through at all, and that was the first time she saw Liu Zhi, the weird girl sitting on the right, named Shu Yue, was also a special awakener, but no one knew what her special ability was.
Every time she looked at Shu Yue, she would find that there was a thick layer of white mist on the surface of Shu Yue's body, and if she wanted to look through the white mist, she would feel dizzy and unable to concentrate.
She told Liu Zhi about it, but Liu Zhi's reaction was very strange, not only did she not interrogate Shu Yue, but also asked her not to tell anyone about it, she vaguely felt that Shu Yue should have a big secret hidden in her!
Just as he was thinking about this, a low roar suddenly came from a distance, and Beamon stopped eating, and looked up to the left and right, with a wary look in his eyes, as if he was quite afraid of the owner of the roar.
Immediately afterwards, the three cavalrymen rushed to Liu Zhijin from far and near, and saluted in unison after jumping down, and one of them reported: "Leader, the reinforcements of the half-werewolves are coming, there are about two thousand two hundred people, divided into five phalanxes, and there are two demon beasts accompanying them, the size is not under Bimon, according to the estimation of subordinates, they should all be third-level demon beasts." ”
Liu Zhi was slightly surprised, there were already more than 1,300 half-werewolves here, and as a result, another two thousand and two were sent, and the important thing was that there were two third-level demon beasts accompanying him, he began to wonder if Salvatore could block the first round of attacks by the half-werewolves, you know, the half-werewolves are not bad at attacking cities.
"Great, the half-werewolf must have come out of the nest." Duan Qi's spirits were lifted, and he turned to Liu Zhi and said, "Chief, please give the order, how should we fight this battle?" ”
Fang Shaochuan also looked at it.
Long Zhen, Gu Xiaoying, Shu Yue, Xiao Changle, Wei Ji and others got up together, and the rest were also infected, and for a while, all the officers and soldiers of the expeditionary force got up, and their eyes were all focused on Liu Zhi's face.
