In the first encounter, the troops led by Dane decisively won an initial victory. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoThe Faceless Ones are clearly unprepared for the long-range firepower of the Ghost Knife Harbor. Under the blows of bows and arrows, artillery, they lost at least twenty men. In the fight after breaking through the wooden door, Dane alone hacked to death three or five faceless people and hairless hyenas, and the number of monsters that died at the hands of mercenaries was about the same.

The one who caused the most damage to these monsters was undoubtedly the War Tree Orsengari. This guy with a huge body and infinite strength blocked the doorway, and almost no one could break through his defenses. He, on the other hand, could easily crush or fly any monster that dared to approach him, whether it was a faceless one or a hairless hyena. There were no less than ten monsters that died in his hands, and the slaughter efficiency was much higher than that of Dane. Even, Dane didn't dare to guarantee that if he went head-to-head with Orsengari, he would not be slapped by this huge ancient tree of war? That's a very good chance of happening.

Once the battle began, the Faceless Ones launched an onslaught towards Dane's Ghost Knife Harbor, but they had no choice but to retreat when they left their corpses on the ground and had no choice but to take the Ghost Knife Harbor.

These Faceless Ones are obviously not really brainless. They've clearly learned a lot more after being hit at range. They retreated a full distance of four or five hundred meters, a distance at which it would be difficult for arrows and shells to attack them. And Dane didn't have any idea of pursuing, he just continued to direct the shooters and gunners to continue the attack while the faceless ones retreated, until they retreated to a position where they could not be reached.

In the process of cleaning up the battlefield, the casualty statistics of both sides were quickly made. Two of the dreaded mercenaries died in this battle. They died in the battle after the Faceless Ones breached the gates. But correspondingly, the price paid by the Faceless is much greater than that of the human mercenaries. In this failed siege, they lost more than thirty faceless ones and more than twenty hairless hyenas. The casualty ratio between the two sides even reached 1 to 10.

It was clear that this was a brilliant victory. If the casualty ratio continues, those Faceless Ones will be killed, and it is estimated that there will be no way to bring much casualties to Dane's team.

However, there is one thing that Dane did not overlook. In this battle, they took advantage of the terrain and those faceless people who didn't know about them, so they played such an excellent record. The next time you fight, I'm afraid it won't be so easy.

Sure enough, after suffering a loss, it was absolutely impossible for those Faceless Ones to continue to attack in the same way as this first battle. They weren't very disciplined, but that didn't mean their leader was really stupider than a pig. The leader of the Faceless Ones, who had been shot by Delin, quickly changed his fighting style after learning his lesson.

Only two hours after the battle ended, the Facelings launched a second attack.

When they attacked, Dane and his men were still having lunch. When the alarm sounded from Delin, who was standing on the watchtower, Dane cursed and threw down the rice bowl, shouted to line up, and ran to the tower in three steps and two steps himself.

Sure enough, the Faceless ones had begun to gather in their field of vision, and it looked like they were clearly preparing to attack.

"Don't these guys need to eat?" Dane scolded.

"Chances are you're right." A muffled voice came from behind him, it was the Ancient Tree of War speaking.

Dane raised an eyebrow: "What? They really don't have to eat? ”

"Maybe not, do you see their beard-like tentacles? There are small openings at the ends of those tentacles, and it is likely that they absorb the power of evil gods from the air and the void through those small openings, so as to maintain the functioning of their bodies. ”

"The power of the evil gods?" Dane frowned, "Is it so evil?" You mean there are evil gods on this island? ”

The Ancient Tree of War paused slightly, not answering Dane's question immediately. Obviously, he is not 100% sure about this question, and he can only give an ambiguous answer: "Perhaps, the specific situation will not be known until you build up the belief system of your territory." ”

"Alright......" Dane nodded helplessly, his gaze returning to the faceless and hairless hyenas who had already made their way towards the walls of Ghost Knife Harbor.

These monsters, who have experienced a failure, no longer continue to focus on the city gates as if they were looking for death. Although the destroyed city gate of Ghost Knife Harbor was too late to be repaired in two hours, even if the leaders of those Faceless Ones were stupid, they could imagine that the gate opened by the cave was not only not a breakthrough, but more like a trap.

The Faceless Ones, who no longer choose to attack the gate, are no longer in dense formations. They spread out their ranks and did not cling to attacking the gates, but placed their targets on wooden walls.

After the Faceless charged a hundred meters from the wall, the warriors of the Dread Mercenary Regiment continued to launch long-range strikes at them from within the Ghost Knife Harbor.

Bows and arrows, artillery were constantly fired. But this time, the effect of long-range attacks was not as good as the previous battle. When those faceless ones spread out their formation, it is not realistic to achieve excellent results by covering the shots, and whether it is shooting with cannons or bows and arrows, it is not a simple matter to accurately hit the enemy at a range of tens of meters or nearly 100 meters away from those facelesss. One of the most obvious manifestations is that the six-pounder cannon used by the mercenaries fired twice, wasting two shells, and actually didn't hit even a single enemy!

The Faceless Ones, who had changed their way of thinking, became more difficult to deal with. At a small cost, they overcame the mercenaries' long-range fire and approached the wooden wall.

The faceless ones who hid under the wooden walls made the shooters in the Ghost Knife Harbor helpless. It was a wall, not a foot-wide wall that could stand on it, and the archers could only shoot through the wooden wall a little higher up in the Ghost Knife Harbor. Even when the Faceless Ones charged, they were still able to target their enemies. But when the faceless ones clinged to the wooden wall, they couldn't attack at all.

The only cannon that could threaten these faceless ones was too scared to fire because of their scruples: if this cannon was fired, it would be hard to say if it would kill one or two monsters, but it would definitely be able to blow up its own wooden walls with one shot.

Dane stood on top of the watchtower, looking at these faceless ones, and couldn't help but have a toothache. These guys, the ability to learn in war is a bit too strong, two hours ago, they were obviously just a group of rookies and whites who may have never fought with the human army, and after suffering a loss, it only took two hours to summarize the gains and losses of the battle, and made a very suitable tactical judgment.

The Facelesss' current approach to attacking the wall, and relying on the wooden wall to evade ranged attacks, cut into Dane's sore spot.

He gave an order with a gloomy face: "The third squadron is all scattered for me, a squad controls an area, those monsters dare to come in, greet me in the most ruthless way, don't leave your hands!" All the people in the second squadron follow me as a mobile force, and you will follow wherever I rush! This group of **** monsters! ”

With a curse, Dane walked down the watchtower. Brutal hand-to-hand combat, I'm afraid it won't be long before it comes again.

Now, the power in his hands is only about a hundred mercenaries. The Dread Mercenary Regiment is composed of three integrated squadrons, the first squadron and half the second squadron, all of which are now being trained as sword dancers in Orinai, and only half of the second squadron and the third squadron are guarding the ghost knife harbor.

Dane certainly saw what the Faceless were trying to do. They must not be stupid enough to destroy the two-meter-high wooden wall with their flesh and blood. Wooden walls are not as easy to break as wooden gates, especially if they don't yet have the appropriate siege weapons. What they were going to do was probably just climb over the wall.

This is not difficult, the Faceless are generally about 1.8 meters tall, and they can touch the top of the wooden wall with their tentacles outstretched. In this case, it is really not difficult to climb over a wooden wall. Those hairless hyenas may be a little more strenuous to turn over, but they definitely don't fail.

After no more attacks on the wooden door, one of Dane's weapons of death was abolished. Orsengari's movement speed is too slow, resulting in it being only suitable for fixed defensive combat. And when the enemy climbed over the wall from different directions, Osengari was left alone to defend one place, and was basically powerless to fight in the other directions - by the time he slowly drove over, the daylily was probably cold.

The only thing Dane can rely on now is the mercenaries of his squadron and a half.

Soon, the first Faceless to attempt to climb over the wooden wall appeared in front of Dane's eyes. He stepped forward in three or two steps, stretched out his long knife, and took advantage of the fact that the guy had no ability to resist in the process of climbing, and directly slashed him to death. The other mercenaries did the same, seeing that the faceless ones who were climbing over were adding up their swords, and all of a sudden, many faceless people and hairless hyenas died under the sharp blades of the mercenaries on the way over.

But this was only the beginning, and as more and more faceless and hairless hyenas appeared on the walls, the mercenaries soon had no way to stop them completely.
