Chapter Seventy-Eight: Defending and Attacking
The lizardmen have been completely defeated.
They were now like the first human villagers to be attacked, the warriors in the village were slaughtered one by one, and the rest of the old and weak women and children were screaming in terror. There were also lizardmen who were so excited that they didn't care about rushing over, but before they could get close, they were shot by a strong crossbow and killed in the middle of the way. These White Horse Guards are all regular troops that have been trained for a long time, and they may not have a very high professional level, and they are no match for adventurers of the same level when fighting alone, but once they form a long-trained battle formation, their strength begins to increase exponentially.
The blocking skill is conservatively estimated that there are more than 1oo points of the warrior using the shield with the short sword to defend the counterattack, advancing along the village little by little, and the light infantry scattered behind is solving those fish that have slipped through the net, whether it is the old and weak, women and children are all killed, without a trace of mercy. Just as the lizardmen will not have the slightest sympathy for human women and children when they first sneak attack, and the fight between their own kind may spare the old and weak children, but the interracial war does not have the slightest soft-heartedness.
If these lizardmen children are not killed, they will grow up with hatred, and if those women and children are not killed, they will give birth to more children.
The collision between the races is a struggle for living space, human beings are far from being as powerful as imagined in this world, and there is still a primitive tradition in the treatment of foreign creatures, that is, to kill them as much as possible, to kill them until they dare not approach the gathering place of humans, and when they sneak attack ordinary people, they will think of the consequences of the revenge of the race.
Otherwise, it would be difficult for the villages on the outskirts of White Horse City to survive for a long time, and from time to time there would be other monsters to fight the autumn wind.
After all, human beings are the most intelligent creatures in the world who can cultivate food!
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Sauron and Yas made a detour to the back of the village.
But surprisingly, there was no lizardman leader, and Sauron suddenly remembered that the druid who was killed by himself couldn't be the patriarch of this group of lizardmen, right?
This is highly likely, as the caster's status is quite high.
If the fallen druid blight is the chief, the lizardmen will most likely not have chosen a new leader yet, because if there is no strong spellcaster to suppress it, the lizardmen will compete with each other before the strongest and smartest one will take over the leader's position.
"Here!" Yas's search skills seem to be very high, and although he didn't let them sneak up, he found the house of the leader.
Sauron crept in, slitting the throat of a lizardman with a scimitar, and they found a chest in the room, filled with coins of various values, as well as some jade jewels, etc., all of which were trophies obtained by the lizardmen after attacking other creatures. They rarely have access to these things, so they are often stored, and occasionally some daring merchant trades with them, if not afraid of being swallowed directly by the bone.
Yas opened the box and took a look, quietly gestured to Sauron behind him, and said in a deep voice, "One and a half." β
Sauron nodded and took the things out, and the two of them flew to share the spoils, packing the treasure into their dimensional bag. The battle was led by the White Horse Guards, and they didn't take them all, they just divided the most valuable things in the future, and then took some of the less valuable things and put them in. Adventurers are naturally greedy, and they divide the most valuable gems equally with Kindler, and then leave a little silver della lot, plus some mess.
Later, if the White Horse Guards clean up the battlefield, they will at most think that this group of lizardmen is relatively poor.
Anyway, there are other places where you can scavenge something of value. The two of them got a lot of good things, although there were no mortal-level items, but if they shared the harvest equally, there were also three or five hundred Jindler. Maybe it's because they have shared the dirt together, and the two people smile similarly after taking things, and both parties feel a little closer.
They turned back from the other side and pretended to hunt the lizardmen, but did not join the frontal battle.
While clearing the lizardmen to earn killing experience, Sauron observes the fighting style of the White Horse Guards, half of whom have mastered the specialty of defensive warriors [Yu Yu Attack], which is a relatively advanced defensive counterattack skill, using shields to block while using medium weapons to assassinate and counterattack. If you have trained the skills of [Advanced Defending and Attacking], you can also use long weapons to counterattack, such as Captain Hanks who is wearing armor all over his body.
Sauron shot and killed the scattered lizardmen one by one, and the killing experience given by ordinary lizardmen was not high, only about a hundred points for adults, and less than thirty or fifty points for old and weak women and children. However, he showed no mercy to his men, how could he have mercy on these monsters now, and in just a few moments, more than a dozen of them died under his hands. The battle was almost over, and some of the lizardmen warriors surrendered out of desperation, but the White Horse Guard had no idea of capturing the captives, and only pierced their hearts with their daggers.
In the vicinity of the sea, some popular gladiatorial arenas will require such captive slaves, but there is no such tradition in Whitehorse City, where foreign captives are more often killed directly. White Horse City is a relatively old human city, and it has been able to maintain many important traditions around the various races until now.
It took less than half an hour to defeat the lizardmen, but it took a long time to clear the battlefield.
Although most of the advanced warriors of the lizardmen were killed, many managed to escape, and there were more than two hundred corpses of the lizardmen on the ground, and about a third of the lizardmen escaped from the village. After such a painful lesson, they will not recover for at least three to five years, and if there are any attacks in the future, they will only be small-scale sneak attacks.
"Captain!" A white horse guard kicked open the door with his foot and shouted, "Here's the barn!" β
Hanks pulled out his bloodstained sword, walked over and took a look, "It should be the human village that was attacked recently." These guys migrated into the wilderness to avoid taxes, but they lost their lives here. β
"What stupidity!"
Apparently he had already thought that the original villagers had been slaughtered by the lizardmen, and had even entered their bellies.
Because there is still a lot of grain in the barn, it is impossible to leave so much grain if it is transferred in advance. It appears that after Sauron left, the villagers were either evacuated urgently or killed by the lizardmen. He felt that the first possibility was higher, that they probably wouldn't stay after being attacked, perhaps because they were too hasty to take everything with them. If that were the case, the lizardfolk attacked a second time before they left.
The lizardmen were scared off by the spell that night, and most of their true strength was still retained.
Just look at the corpses on the ground and know that these lizardmen still have at least one or two hundred warriors who can fight.
There were also scattered sounds of killing on all sides.
The White Horse Guards were scattered in teams of three to clean up the battlefield, mainly to avoid sneak attacks, and their combat tradition was to leave one person to cover.
The wizard didn't know when he had put away the stone golem, and the energy consumed by this alchemy golem was amazing, and it was not used as a regular combat power in the wizard's tower. If the army burns money when it moves, then the golem burns gems when it moves, and their operating rules are equivalent exchange alchemy, because some advanced magic energy skills are lost, and the golem is stationary most of the time.
The soldiers found the loot from all over the place, and according to the unspoken rules of the army, they privately deducted half of the loot, and then handed in half of it would be rewarded to them at the end of the day. Hanks gave the loot to Sauron, Yas, and the Grey-robed wizard, and the three of them accepted it naturally, without refusing. Then the bits and pieces were distributed, and each soldier had a fair amount of income, which was counted as the spoils of war in addition to their military salary.
A row of jΓΉ appeared in front of Sauron's eyes:
"The battle is over."
"Your skills have improved in battle! β¦β¦ You've learned some tricks from other people's battles! β¦β¦β
"Block +5, Parry +1."
"You have a little understanding of the combat specialty [Yu Yu Yu Attack]! β¦β¦β
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Got a hint of combat expertise?
Sauron was stunned for a moment, although [Yu Yu Yu Attack] is a relatively basic defensive specialty, but it shouldn't be so easy to get tips.
Is it because of erudition?
Sauron tried to recall, and now he really remembered the defensive counter-attacking skills of those fighters.
It is a relatively basic specialty, which can be trained by conventional means, and its role is to defend and counterattack, with the help of parry and block moments, to offset the opponent's attack in a similar way to unloading force, and then counterattack at the same time. This specialty has a pre-requirement for parrying, and if you don't have a parry block of more than 1oo points, you can't train it even if you get an information prompt. Because even if you memorize this combat technique, you won't be able to comprehend it without the corresponding parry ability.
A similar specialty is [Dual Weapon Defense], which has higher requirements for parrying and requires more than 15o parry skills.
"Where is there time to exercise and parry now, I can only wait for the future to find another opportunity to train." Sauron looked at the others and nodded to Yas, who was not far away, and the two of them began to go back as if nothing had happened.
Tomorrow I guess I'll be able to get close to the ogre's territory.
The battle in the plains is the key, and only by expelling these ogres can the trade routes of White Horse City be opened.
Head-to-head.
These adventurers are also going to cover the army for battle.
