Chapter 114: Riverpaw Gnoll
Diego grabbed the musket beside him and rushed out of the tent. He could feel the trap he had set up outside the camp when he set up camp being triggered.
In fact, after some exploration, the trap that Diego can now lay is very different from before, the explosion trap can also be replaced by the shock wave generated by the violent burst of holy light energy, but the frost trap and the frost trap cannot be set up at all, but the power of the sacrifice trap has been greatly enhanced, this trap is very similar to the paladin's holy light spell "dedication", both of which infuse energy under the earth, and continue to explode when the enemy passes over it.
The guards who were patrolling the camp had also noticed that something was wrong, because it was too quiet.
Generally speaking, the night in the forest is always full of sounds, in the dark night around you, the sound of the wind blowing through the treetops, the roar of night owls flying across the sky, and the chirping of insects, all of which create a vibrant forest scene. But these sounds never destroy the tranquility of the forest, and it is a bit of a feeling of "the cicada noise forest is more quiet, and the birdsong mountain is more secluded".
But at this moment, the forest around the camp was silent, there were no birds, no insects, and even the light wind that swept through the forest had stopped, as if everyone knew that an invisible danger was approaching.
Diego climbed onto the roof of a carriage and looked into the distance⊥ to the north of the camp, in the gap between the trees, the traps he had laid were being triggered one by one. By the light of the trap's explosion, he could see some rickety shadows in the distance between the trees being tossed to the ground by the shockwave from the explosion, and even at this distance, the gnolls could be heard with their distinctive screams.
"It's Riverpaw Gnolls. They dare to attack the fortress, is this going crazy? Rainier stood in another carriage next to him. said with a heavy expression. After apologizing to Diego, he jumped out of the carriage. Running in the direction of the fortress, his soldiers needed him - as a commander, he had to stay with his army until the great battle.
For humans, gnolls mostly appear as cannon fodder and thugs, and they are cheap and numerous. They are hired by the Difia brothers, fallen mages, and even some mercenary groups. But the intellect of these guys is the hard wound of this race, and they have never been at the top of any organization, not even the mixed Brotherhood of Defia. Among their leaders were goblins, fishmen, ogres, werewolves, and minotaurs, but there were never gnolls, and almost anyone looked down on them.
Gnolls are never picky eaters, they eat meat and vegetarian food, and they have a wide range of diets, from grains, plant roots, insects, rodents to fish, and even their own kind, and they can eat when necessary. In years when food is plentiful. Female gnolls can give birth to three to four litters at a time, and it is precisely the survival ability of jackals that is strong and strong, and the speed of reproduction makes them very good products. Many mages, shadow clerics, and warlocks also like to use them as "materials" when doing certain taboo realities.
However, the Riverpaw Gnoll tribe is clearly not on the list of tragedies of this race, and they are thriving under the leadership of the powerful leader Hogg. Traces are almost all over the Elwyn Forest and the Wild West. In general, they always live by water, living not far from rivers or ponds.
But Hogg's greatest strength isn't his strength. It's in his mind. Under his leadership, the Riverpaw Gnolls have always raided only small caravans or lone travelers. In some cases, remote farms with relatively small numbers are also attacked. However, it never attacks regular human armies, nor does it attack fortified strongholds such as watchtowers and fortresses. So although this guy has occupied the wanted bulletin board of the West Springs Fortress for many years, he is still at large, and it looks like he will continue to do so.
As Vice Captain Neville said, they must have gone crazy today to attack the fortress.
However, everyone in the camp now apparently didn't have time to think about why the gnolls were crazy. Because everybody is busy. Harry? Burgard loudly assigned the task, and soon the entire convoy was mobilized, not only the escorts, but also the merchants and coachmen.
The firewood that had been erected around the camp before the camp was lit by the fires that had been thrown out, and the firewood soaked in tung oil burned vigorously, making the surroundings as bright as day.
The gnolls did not rush out of the woods, they stopped at the edge of the woodland. From this side of the camp, the woods were littered with the glowing green eyes of the gnolls reflected in the flames.
Diego stood on the roof of the carriage and looked at the gnoll, looking for the huge figure from within, for legend has it that Hogg was twice as large as a normal jackal and stronger than a tall minotaur. But the gnoll leader was cautious, and Diego swept around several times without seeing his shadow.
At that moment, he heard someone whispering beside the carriage, and he poked his head out and saw the dwarf Edith? Blom was being pushed up the carriage by two teammates. But the armor he wore was so thick that he looked like a stocky potato and couldn't climb it at all.
Diego hurriedly reached out and pulled him up.
"You shouldn't be standing in such a prominent spot, my lord, you should stay in your tent." Climbing onto the roof of the car, Blom gasped for air and persuaded. To be honest, although he is loyal to this nobleman, it doesn't mean that he thinks this human can fight, in his eyes, all nobles are soft-footed shrimp and sissies, and this lord of his seems to be stronger than those gentlemen, but it is also limited, and he did not insist that Diego go down, but erected the steel shield that was higher than his body, blocking Diego's body.
Diego gave him a look of surprise, to be honest, the shield was right on Diego's shoulder, and if he wanted to, he could even mount the musket on it and shoot steadily and safely.
"I hate fighting these poor ghosts the most, although it is easy, but even if you win, there is nothing to be fished," the dwarf complained dissatisfiedly, and he hated these gnolls who disturbed his good dreams, "These gnolls are so damned, they can't get a good night's sleep." ”
He said it casually, but Diego, who had been looking around, suddenly stopped looking and looked down at him.
"What did you say?"
"Huh?" The dwarf didn't react, he thought the lord was tired of his complaints
"I said, what did you just say?"
"Oh, delay our bedtime." The dwarf was somewhat aware that things weren't what he had imagined, and that his words might have inadvertently reminded the lord of something.
"No, the previous one."
"Oh, it's easy, but even if you win, there's nothing to be fished for."
"That's right!" Diego muttered to himself with his eyes shining, from the wetlands to Stormwind City, along the way, all kinds of conspiracies and tricks of opponents emerged one after another, and Diego was also accustomed to this kind of cautious and serious mentality, but at this moment, he suddenly realized that maybe he didn't have to be so careful, now he is not a new Barkee in Azeroth, whether it is strength, weapons, or manpower, he is completely different from then. These gnolls don't even deserve his caution as if they were the enemy.
"So what are we going to do with these gnolls? Let's get rid of them and go to bed as soon as possible'No matter what plans these gnolls have and what conspiracy they have, we just need to crush them with our strength! ”
Diego pulled out a red flame-marked magazine from his backpack and refilled it.
"Riverclaw Gnoll, I'm introducing you, my new weapon, Death Gaze!" He said from the bottom of his heart.
