"Chapter 414: Defense and Advance"

As soon as I took out the last barbarian enemy in this stronghold, I received a notification from the system telling me that this defense point was already under our control and that the newly created troops would be mobilized by us.

In this arena, the power of the system is fully utilized, and the destroyed arrow tower has become new in a blink of an eye, and there are 4 more sister army archers on the arrow tower, which has no guard power, to monitor and defend on the platform of the arrow tower as we did before we came. And from the newly occupied Barbarian Hut came out of the level 4 Barbarian Fighters, and saluted us.

The support from the nearby defense point also arrived in our vicinity at this time, but they obviously found that the stronghold had been lost, and they had dispersed into several different formations from the previous menacing cluster, they were about twenty people in a team, all of them were above level 4, and they were led by two barbarian warriors. Four squads attacked us from different directions, and they were well kept from being concentrated by magic and archers.

Our forces are completely at a disadvantage, even if our strength is strong, it is a send-off to disperse, but if we concentrate on attacking, the defensive point will be taken by the opponent's extra troops, which makes us unable to take the initiative to attack, so we can only hold our breath and stay here to be beaten.

This time I climbed the Arrow Tower, condescending, and cast my magic on the enemy barbarian troops. The four barbarian guards beside me lined up at the gate of the camp's fortifications, while the four barbarian fighters who had just come out of the hut stood guard near the arrow towers to deal with the enemies who might rush in. However, although the entrance was blocked, I still could not rest assured, because the fence of this defense point was so low that even the goats could jump over it, and they could not stop the troops on the opposite side.

I was thinking quickly in my head, looking for a spell to use in this situation. Eventually, I set my sights on the fire magic and ground spikes I was most familiar with, and with the right use, we could still fend off their attacks.

As the hostile barbarian forces drew closer and closer to us, the Barbarian Guards raised their shields, threw their axes, cut down several Barbarian fighters, and wounded one Barbarian Brave.

The flames leaped in my palms, flew into the ranks of the enemy under my control, and weaved through the crowd like fiery serpents, and even if they scattered, they would be bitten by these flaming serpents and suffer severe damage. The Fire Serpent spell, under the guidance of the master, I have been able to use it very well. Without magical defense, they are quite vulnerable to these fiery snakes that seem to have their own consciousness and life.

The spikes also caused a lot of trouble for these barbarians, as they climbed over the fence, the sudden protrusion of the spikes would cause a lot of damage to their lower bodies, and the rising spikes combined with the earthen wall could temporarily block their steps. If a lone one rushes in, the archers and the four barbarian fighters will be able to deal with it.

The barbarians' combat effectiveness is still quite strong, and with their own skills, their frontal combat effectiveness can even defeat a similar number of heavy cavalry units. But if there are only barbarians, it is easy to target. Because they lack ranged output, magic protection and magic cover, they are easily targeted by the opponent's ranged troops and magic troops, as they do now.

They retreated, and although the losses were not great, they had already discovered that it was unlikely that the strength of these eighty or ninety men alone would be able to defeat our defenses. So in the end, they chose to retreat, and the back road became the front road, taking care of each other, and withdrawing from our attack range, showing their skilled combat skills and the quality of their troops.

I'm really relieved, my magic has already consumed two-thirds of it, and if they do rush in, our achievements may be destroyed directly, and my own safety may be unexpected.

I used the remaining mana to plug the gap in the fence that had just been breached, reinforced the earthen wall that I had just summoned, and used the earth thorn magic on it, and the earthen wall with spikes was much stronger than the previous fence.

The four barbarian king's guards also recovered the tomahawks they had thrown, and then returned to the camp to bandage their wounds, and although we managed to hold the stronghold, they were also wounded after two consecutive battles. Now we need time to rest and rectify, the troops need time, the soldiers need to rest, and my mana also needs to be replenished, I only hope that the opponent's next attack can be slower, so that we can prepare more troops, and we don't have to be constantly beaten and beaten by others like now.

Even though it was in the arena, the food was still much needed. Fortunately, we found a lot of bread and jerky in the camp, enough for a hundred barbarians to eat for two days, and the huts and tents in the camp, which were enough for us to eat well and rest.

............

We had a terrible night's rest, and we were attacked twice in one night, so much so that I had to burn the grass with fire magic for lighting. It seems that the other side knows what we think, and does not want to give us a chance to develop our troops, and in that attack at dawn, they gathered more than a hundred barbarian fighters, a dozen barbarian warriors, and a small group of archers, and collectively charged us with berserk, destroying more than half of our wall, and the arrow tower was almost lost, and even our barbarian king's guards were almost surrounded and annihilated. Fortunately, by this time we had accumulated more than a dozen barbarian fighters, and the archers on the arrow tower were already full, and although we were almost beaten back to the original state, we still won the victory. The trade-off, of course, is that we are now able to dispatch only four men, me, two Barbarian Guards, and one Barbarian Fighter. Although the other two barbarian king's guards did not die, they were seriously injured in bed and could not recover in a short time.

Of course, we also have the advantage, after defeating this force, the nearby defense point is almost empty, and we also took this opportunity to take it, relying on a few of us. There was only one barbarian hut, and the camp was not large, but there were two arrow towers, which were easier to defend than before.

We waited all day, but there was no more decent attack, and judging by the speed of the hut's production troops, their troops were a little tight. In one day, we have accumulated twenty-four barbarian fighters, counting the remaining ones, we already have a small army, even if more than a hundred people come, with the Arrow Tower, we are confident to defeat them.

Of course, I didn't wait for the other side to attack us, and after scouting the strength and defensive deployment of the third defense point, I went straight to attack with these newly acquired troops. This time we also adopted a new tactic, our troops avoided the archers and attracted the main force of the opposing side, while I and the two Barbarian Guards copied to the back, took the arrow towers directly, and attacked their troops from behind. Although the casualties were not small, this defensive point was also occupied by us.

Our forces began to increase, and the opponent's forces became less and less, and gradually began to turn to a defensive strategy. Our strength has grown, we have been given the opportunity to attack actively, and we are constantly expanding our area of control and expanding our forces in battle. Our strength is also accumulating in this seemingly slow advance.
