Chapter 32: Provocation

Dane glanced over, and in the battle that had just taken a moment, almost ten of his men had lost their lives. In addition www.biquge.info to the retreating archer troops under the leadership of Delin, there are only about sixty mercenaries standing beside Dane. And in such a short period of time, it is estimated that there are twenty or thirty faceless people and hyenas killed by them.

The enemy's losses were undoubtedly significant. After two battles, the Faceless army has even been attritioned by about a quarter. But now, when the wooden wall of the Ghost Knife Harbor has been breached, the advantage has been held by the other party.

Trapped by the enemy and relying only on the deterrent power of Orsengari, they did not dare to rush forward in a big way, thus temporarily balancing the situation. Until Orinedu's reinforcements arrive, Dane must try to maintain this momentum and ensure that his troops are not severely attacked, or ...... The victory will only be a pyrrhic victory.

The hyenas constantly roamed around them, and from time to time they let out a low roar, which made the dreaded mercenaries mentally stressful.

Dane looked at the situation and said, "I'll be on the front line, and you guys will honestly stay by my side and Orsengari, and be wary of those hyenas!" ”

What he meant by this was that he was ready to take all the pressure in one direction on his own. Of course, he is capable of doing this, and the three-headed hyena that died in his hands in a moment is proof of this, but he is still flesh and blood, and the intimidation technique thrown in front of him to stabilize the battle situation also makes his mana value very little, if those faceless ones continue to carry out crazy attacks against him, he estimates that he will not be able to hold on for long.

Thankfully, they haven't done it yet. Among them, it is inseparable from Dane's murderous record. Since the beginning of the battle, there have been more than twenty hyenas and faceless ones who have died in his hands combined, and to break through from him, you have to ask these monsters if they are brave enough to face his long knife. Until he is completely tired and unable to hold on, he will always be the sharpest blade of blades, enough to kill anyone who dares to come near him.

The sound of 'poof, poof, poof, ......' sounded, it was the footsteps of the hairless hyena's hooves falling to the ground, and when they looked in the direction from which the sound came, they saw that the monsters around them automatically separated, making way for a way, and the leader of the faceless people, who was riding on the body of a huge hairless hyena, walked out of it.

His eyeless head was facing Dane, his tentacles were windless, and he had no mouth, but he let out a hoarse roar that looked like a bug, but was much louder than a bug.

It should be some kind of language that Dane can't understand, and the language itself seems to be full of chaos and evil, even if you can't understand it, it will make people who hear it as disgusting as if they smell ****. And what angered Dane the most was that he could also hear some contempt in the roar of the Faceless One.

It was all a feeling, but it annoyed Dane. He looked at the leader of the Faceless Ones, who had flaunted his might in front of him as if he had become a victor, and felt the urge to rush up and dismantle him at once.

He stubbornly endured this impulse. The leader of the Faceless was also a little disappointed to see that Dane was not provoked by his provocation.

He seemed to be getting a little impatient, and he decided to end the fight.

I saw the leader of the Faceless One roar wildly, and then, all the monsters under his command began to slowly press forward.

Obviously, he meant to launch an all-out attack!

Dane tightened his grip on his weapon, he no longer expected reinforcements from Orinedu, he had to focus all his energy on the battle in front of him. This is the time of the last battle, and he cannot be careless. Perhaps, under the desperate battle, relying on Osengari, he still has a slight chance of winning. As for casualties...... He didn't even dare to think about it anymore. The outcome is unpredictable, and even if it wins, I'm afraid it will be a miserable victory with no known casualties.

This was a bit out of line with his expectations, but who knew the enemy would come so quickly and violently?

The enemy was pressing forward step by step, and all the mercenaries were inspired by Dane and made up their minds to fight to the death. No one will run away, and no one will surrender. It's not because of how strong the will to fight is among the dreaded mercenaries, but because they're dealing with faceless monsters. In the heart of the monster, is there still the concept of surrender and not killing?

Surrender is death, and escape is impossible to escape because of being besieged, so is there any other choice but to fight to the death? Since both horizontal and vertical are death, it is better to pull a few more pads before dying!

"Roar!" The leader of the Faceless let out a second roar, and then all the monsters rushed up in a frenzy!

Osengari's massive body played a huge role as the mercenary's first line of defense. Four or five faceless men and the same number of hyenas surrounded him, constantly attacking the body of the Ancient War Tree, but it was as if they were scratching their boots, and it was almost impossible to achieve any effect. Whether it's the hyena's teeth or the Faceless's powerful tentacles, the most they can do is leave some marks on its vigorous bark. But as soon as the ancient tree of war raised its hand and took a step on its leg, at least one monster was crushed to pieces. If it weren't for the fact that his attack frequency was a little low, perhaps, relying on him alone, he would be able to kill all the faceless people on the field.

But no matter how powerful Orsengari is, all he can protect is by his side. In addition to some monsters pestering him, many other monsters participated in the siege of the mercenaries.

"Tighten the distance! Don't scatter! Stay in formation! Dane kept giving orders, and although the battle situation was very difficult, his mind was not broken by it. He knew very well that if he wanted to hold out for a longer time and try to minimize casualties, he had to rely on the strength of the formation.

His decision-making was quite effective, and the mercenaries' tight formation reduced the contact surface with the Faceless army, making it impossible for those Faceless to put in the maximum amount of power at the same time. And, with the massive Osengari on their backs, all they have to face is a two-faced enemy. Such a decision is quite effective in reducing the pressure they face.

The defeat battle that the leader of the Faceless Ones was looking forward to was actually dragged into a war of attrition under the command of Dane! Moreover, due to the existence of the War Ancient Tree and Dane, the proportion of losses on both sides has always been high, and in the entire dynamic battle situation, the Faceless often has to pay four, five, or six or even more lives before they can find an opportunity to seriously injure a mercenary, let alone kill it.
