Sir Lothar made a mistake, and it was only after the appearance of the gnolls to be exact. Seeing Kel'thugad, he assumed that his surroundings were safe, and the special terrain on both sides of the Sadol River gave him such an illusion. In order to cross the river as quickly as possible, he took most of the soldiers away, leaving only a squad that could maintain basic order, and even worse, with his departure, the strong men in the team also followed.

In the face of the attack of the gnolls, there are only ten guards that Ainan's side can rely on. Although there were still many adult men in the ranks, no one expected these artisan civilians who had never been trained to make much difference.

Ordinary gnolls are as strong as adult human males, and due to their ferocious nature and untrained habits, humans are unlikely to be opponents of gnolls. The fighting brute and scout in the Gnoll can rival the lower combat professions of the humans, and the leader of a small clan can defeat even the mid-level warriors.

Jackals are about the same height and strength as humans, but their bodies are very light - equal to the weight of a jackal. With their strength and light weight, they are fast and bounce strongly, and jumping across the Sadol River is something that only mid-level combat professionals can do to humans, but nothing to gnolls.

Aynamer counted, "One...... Seven...... Fifteen...... Thirty-one. ”

The number of gnolls is thirty-one, indicating that the attack is only a small tribe, and the situation is not too bad. If the large and medium-sized gnolls tribe numbered in the hundreds might not be able to hold on, who would have let Ainan still be just a magic apprentice.

The gods left by Tangram have a vast amount of knowledge that only gods can accumulate, but they did not leave even a trace of divine power that can be used by Ainan, let alone directly give Ainan skills, his purpose is obvious: if you want to become stronger, you have to rely on yourself, there is never a shortcut to the acquisition of power, and those who take shortcuts will not end well in the end.

Take some of the records of the gods that Ainan read, most of the true gods, including Tangram, have done such things. When the true gods perceive that they are going to be in calamity, they begin to choose scapegoats, giving them benefits for various reasons, such as giving them supernatural powers or collecting items far beyond the scapegoat's current world while wandering the universe.

In the process of cultivating scapegoats, many true gods do not rigidly prescribe what scapegoats should do, but give several options each time, seemingly letting the scapegoats make their own ideas and make their own decisions, but in fact, these options are given by the true gods, so no matter how the scapegoats are chosen, they are in the circle delineated by the true gods.

After receiving the power given by the true God, the inconspicuous scapegoat in a certain world will be transformed into a big man who stirs up the storm. While the scapegoats, accustomed to receiving benefits from the true God, are still basking in the beauty of changing their fate, they do not know that the true God has transferred the calamity that should have befallen them without their knowledge.

Even the true God, who is the backer, is unwilling to endure the catastrophe, and the end of the scapegoats can be imagined.

Even if a scapegoat discovers the truth in the process, because his power is given by the true God, the path they take is within the scope of the true God's circle, even if these people have the heart to resist, they have no power to resist, and the final outcome is no different from everyone else.

After receiving these messages from the Godhead, Ainan couldn't help but sigh: "Therefore, there is no soft-hearted person who can become a god, and they look at mortals with the same attitude as we look at ants on the ground. ”

It is also his good luck, Tangram encountered a god this time, which came directly to the gods, and it was useless for anyone to be a scapegoat. Otherwise, Ainan would probably repeat the old path of the previous scapegoats at this moment, still rejoicing that he has the power to change his fate, and still excited about a better future.

However, Ainan had a vague question in his mind: who can guarantee that the information he sees is true?

"Assemble, soldiers, go and build a defensive line. Hey, apprentice, get out of the way and don't get in our way. ”

Someone's eager shout rang out from the ranks of the ramps rioted by the presence of the gnolls, it was the remaining squad leader Sloan calling out to his soldiers, and the apprentice he was talking about was Ainan.

What is helpless is that although the squad leader is very conscientious and his men are running hard, they are scattered all over the team because they want to maintain order, and only two people rushed to Sloanan's side for a while. Before they could prepare for battle, the four gnolls who had rushed to the front had already jumped towards the gathering place of the group.

The distance of about thirty meters is not an impossible distance for the gnolls to cross, and from the trajectory of their movement in the air, Ainan can see that these gnolls can successfully land on the shore.

Provided, of course, that they don't get attacked before they hit the ground.

He flicked the stick in his hand—it was actually an apprentice's staff, but in Ainan's eyes, it was no different from a stick. Taking two steps forward, Ainan threw the stick with the momentum of running like a bidding spear.

Bang!

"Woohoo......"

The gnoll who was the fastest rushing was about to hit the ground when the Apprentice Staff struck him in the head. The apprentice staff was knocked away from the collision between the two, and the gnoll man also ended up with a broken skull and a whimper.

Their low weight gives them the advantage of being fast and jumping, and correspondingly, their defenses are more than a little weaker than those of humans. Originally, the staff thrown by Ainan was not enough to kill the gnoll, but who made the gnoll man in a high-speed forward state, and the head of the gnoll during the impact was not only Ainan's throwing power but also had to withstand the force of his full sprint, and it was strange that the skull was not broken after a hit.

The apprentice's staff that flew out spun twice in the air and snapped into the waist of the other gnoll, causing the falling gnoll to fall to the side. It didn't matter if it fell, what mattered was that after changing its trajectory, the gnolls could not successfully cross the gap about thirty meters wide, and fell to the Sadol River hundreds of meters down in a terrible scream.

"I don't think I'm going to get in the way of you staying here."

Dealt with the two gnolls, and Ainan shrugged his shoulders as Sloan watched in amazement.

The former's face turned red and his expression was embarrassed. Who let him yell at Ainan before, saying that Ainan would get in the way, but they immediately slapped him in the face, and he got rid of the two gnolls with a stick, and turned the three-on-four situation into a three-on-two, so that they would not fall into disadvantage at the beginning, and bought precious time for the arrival of the other guards.

In many cases, it is far better to talk back than to speak with facts, which is more effective and can make people speechless.

It's just a blind spot, what's so proud.

Sloane was speechless, because the facts were in front of him, but he still didn't think much of Ainan in his heart.

There is a mage who kills the enemy by throwing a staff, and besides, the thirty or so gnolls only solve two and can't change the overall situation, and in the end, it doesn't have to rely on us warriors to fight hard.

As Sloanan thought so, he saw Ainan make a strange gesture, and a puck the size of a baby's fist shot at the gnolls on the other side.
