Chapter 12: Is This War?
The team members form a circle with two layers, the inside and the outside.
When the gnolls rushed in, they were confronted with a spear that stabbed out one after another.
With a "snort...... sound, the gnolls threw a corpse on the ground.
Unfortunately, not every squad has an experienced captain.
With the appearance of the jackals, the screams and cries for help did not stop, and some of the recruits were even more overwhelmed and messed around. Not only did it not help, but it also disrupted the formation.
The three knights, invincible, danced with spears in their hands, and the gnolls died when they knocked and died.
However, no matter how strong the knight is, there are only three people, but the jackals don't know how many, and personal bravery can't play much role at this time.
"Retreat"
Harry. Wolf Knight shouted: "Get out of the forest" and organized the people around him to break out of the forest.
Breaking through requires speed, and the formation naturally can't be maintained.
"Keep up, stand out!" Ken yelled.
said that it was a retreat, but in fact it was a complete rout, and he ran back in chaos, and the menacing appearance directly frightened the gnolls so much that they didn't dare to step forward for a while.
Marlon was surrounded by the rout, separated from the team, and didn't know where the captain was?
Someone ran slowly, blocked the way behind, and was stabbed to death and trampled to death by his own people.
He who dies at the hands of his own men is no less than he who dies at the hands of the gnolls.
Out of the forest, they lined up again, but luckily the gnolls didn't chase them out.
Malone found his team. There were only eight of the ten people left, one was sure to be dead, the other was missing, and everyone had lost hope for him, and there was no difference between missing and dead in the forest at this time.
After finding all the personnel, the army was set up again. Counting the battle damage, nearly half of the personnel were lost.
There were no wounded, because none of the wounded could get out.
β¦β¦
The barracks, the big tent, and the three knights sat around with suspicious expressions.
"I think there's something in control of the gnolls?" Harry. Wolf Knight said suspiciously
"No way, it's not the first time we've come into contact with a gnoll, it's impossible for a gnoll to be domesticated." This man was a Norton knight, tall and tall, and the real striking thing was the crazy hair and full beard, almost all of his features were covered. The Norton Knights hail from the realm east of Fort Harry.
"Is it the gnolls themselves that have intelligence?" This is Thor, a fiefdom knight from the west.
"No," said Harry Knight, "we've just fought them, and they're still beasts. β
"No," Knight Thor said, waving his hand, "You don't understand what I mean, I mean individually, not all." After a pause, he said, "There is a king or a chieftain among them." β
"Is this possible?" Norton asked.
"Otherwise, how can you explain that they don't rob the corpses." Thor replied.
Harry picked up: "Also, why don't they chase them out of the forest?" If you chase it out, there are formed military formations on the plains to deliver more or less food. β
"So what's in command of the gnolls? I still can't believe it! Knight Norton was still skeptical.
Knight Thor rubbed his brows and hesitated to speak: "If our reasoning is correct, it doesn't matter if Senborg takes it or not. β
"What now?"
"Report it, it's not up to us to decide."
"What an eventful season!"
"Then the three of us will report jointly and ask for help!"
β¦β¦
Southern County, Los Angeles, County Watchman
The county guard's study.
"The gnolls have wisdom, are they sure it's not a scribbling to shirk responsibility?" The Marquis of Marmon asked, looking at the urgent letter that had just arrived.
His tone was not good, and he was obviously angry. Even though I sat in this position on the basis of connections, you can't fool me like this!
"I'm afraid not." The black-clothed subordinate below bowed down and replied, "The three little nobles don't have the courage yet. β
The Marmen county guard was surprised and asked, "Is that true?" β
"Not necessarily, it may be that the little nobles are not knowledgeable enough and haven't figured it out."
The Marmen County Shou smashed the parchment in his hand and said angrily, "You are going to say something if you are for a while, and you are not for a while."
The subordinate bowed down again and said: "My lord, what I want to say is that no matter what the reason, just order the surrounding nobles to support, and anyway, there is no need for adults to pay for them." β
"That's right" The county guard waved his hand vigorously and said, "Who, hurry up and write an order and transfer all the surrounding troops"
"Yes, sir."
When everything is done, "You go down, I'm going to rest so late." β
"Yes," the man in black bowed down and walked out of the room, scolding "idiot" in a low voice.
In an instant, his face changed with warmth, and he murmured: "Shu An, soon, ......, ten thousand blood sacrifices, soon, you will be able to resurrect......"
"How can you survive until now if you are not stupid?" The fat man who used to look naΓ―ve, but now his eyes are full of wisdom, "I just want to save my life!" β
β¦β¦
The army had been stationed outside the forest for half a month, and the first battle was lost, with nearly half of the losses, and it rained for a few days in between, which made morale even lower.
Marlon even heard someone crying for his mother in the bed at night.
It was not until the last two days, when reinforcements continued to arrive from the rear, that morale picked up.
By now, there are nearly 5,000 troops in the forest, and people are shouting and neighing everywhere, so it is not lively. But there was no intention of attacking for a long time, and it seemed that the command had not yet been decided.
After two days of tugging, no one was convinced, and they were all afraid of becoming cannon fodder, so in the end they had to fight their own ones, and each department took turns to attack. Malone had to sigh, the strange war in this world.
The previous three teams played a round, so there was nothing to do with Malone and them for the next period of time.
Practice new skills in the camp every day. By the way, follow the progress of the war.
Every day, a group of people entered the forest, killed and injured some gnolls, and left a few corpses themselves, and kept recovering, like child's play.
After a few rounds, the soldier folded nearly two layers, and his personal combat effectiveness improved a lot.
Seeing that the New Year is approaching, the soldiers have no desire to fight, and some of the knights feel that it is time to retire.
Some people also felt that a big battle should be fought, and in the end, they felt that a few knights should take the lead and make a surprise attack. You have to see Senburg to go back.
So on this day half a month before the New Year, all the troops were gathered and entered the forest again.
Malone followed the group, clutching his spear and looking around vigilantly.
The ground was littered with the corpses of the advancing corpses, both jackals and humans, and there was a commotion ahead. It is preached.
The team stopped and listened only to Harry. Knight Wolf roared loudly: "Soldiers, it's time for us to go, let the others see the strength of Harry Castle, the lord's rich reward is waiting for you, what are you hesitating about, boys, follow me!" With that, he turned around and strode forward.
The captains at all levels in the back shouted at the team to keep up, and Ma Long's squad was at the top of the establishment, and once it met the enemy, it was the first echelon.
Hard-hitting, you can't be fake, and if you're not careful, you have to lose your life.
