Act 17: The Battle for the Lumberyard (4) (Part 2, Seeking Support)
"You haven't seen a creature like that, it's about two meters tall when it stands upright, it's covered in fur, but it's said to have some sort of kinship with goblins on the surface. Where are the novels updated the fastest? Look out for the Aishang Novel Network biquge.info but compared to their weak but numerous distant relatives, this one is an outlier, they are strong, and the strength of even a newborn cub in the bear goblin community can rival that of a human adult. Brando slowly recounted, "If there are bear goblins holding large shields and flail for cover, it is still quite tricky for cavemen to dig tunnels underneath—", he paused, and changed his words, "But most cavemen live in symbiosis with bear goblins, and it is unknown if there are bear goblins in this lumberyard......"
Everyone was stunned, and their eyes fell back to the lumberyard on the other side of the river.
The wooden gate creaked up again, and at first a troop of cavemen came out of it, and then a string of heavy footsteps came...—followed by three hulking creatures—a huge creature with a large shield in one hand and a chain rattling flail in the other.
Set goblins.
Although most of the people present had never seen similar creatures before, they recognized the new monsters according to Brando's previous descriptions: more than two meters tall, covered in long, squeezed hair, with a head curled up on broad shoulders, and a shield in one hand and a flail in the other, almost identical to the young man's description.
Everyone couldn't help but look at the young lord with a look of admiration.
Juta was silent, and she glanced at the young lord meaningfully, as if trying to find something different in him.
"I've seen this thing," Fern stared at the group of monsters that were crossing the river, and suddenly said, "We dealt with it once in Karasu, and this thing couldn't get close to more than a dozen soldiers", "His dark face changed color for the first time, "My lord, are you sure this thing is also a first-level ......"
Brando nodded, "The classification of the army was first set by the four major temples, and it was based on more than just the combat effectiveness of individual soldiers. "And because of the symbiosis with the cavemen, they have not been able to form a scale, if it weren't for the fact that the cavemen are the foundation of the foundation in the army of Qiaogang Digen, and the bear goblins who have been fighting side by side with them have formed a set of fixed tactics, I'm afraid these stupid big men have not been able to be classified into the first-level establishment so far......"
Fern nodded and remained silent.
At this time, the caveman and the three-headed bear goblin were wading through the middle of the riverbank, and although the caveman at the edge of the forest retreated far away, they still surrounded Ma Feili and the other four. There was an eerie silence on the river beach for a while, and the invisible scales swayed on the battlefield.
The cavemen launched a second attack, but they immediately sensed something was wrong.
The two crossbowmen on the earth and stone bunker lost their heavy crossbows at this time, and then unslashed their swords from behind their backs—they were two silver swords, with two rows of strange patterns painted on their blades, which glittered in the sun.
"Magic Sword ......," one of the mercenaries shouted a beautiful one.
The magic sword here is not a low-level alchemy product that most people can get their hands on, but it is a veritable magic sword... - at least it is also a magic item of the bronze level or above, and it has a creation that changes the balance of power between the holder and the opponent to a certain extent.
"Whose man is that......" The eyes of the mercenary captains of all sizes were invariably focused on Juta, Fern and Clensia, and in their opinion, only the three Grand Masters present could come up with such a luxurious lineup.
But the three Grand Masters were equally puzzled, and though they had the same thoughts...—it was not theirs at all.
But if one moment is just surprise, the next moment is to hold your breath. I saw two snow-white sword lights flashing on the earth and stone bunker, and the two cavemen who jumped onto the city wall were cleanly cut into two pieces. This is already the strength of the Black Iron Peak close to the Silver Rank, and among the many mercenaries present, only the three Grand Masters have this level.
"Who's that......" Juta finally turned around and asked, "Clenshia, ...... your people"
Unfortunately, Clenthia did not have the heart to answer his words at this moment, and his face changed when he saw the two swords, and he looked back at Brando—a he had recognized, that it was the holy sword used by the two angels who had followed him that night. Only then did he understand why Fern would be relieved to send his most powerful wizard as bait, with two silver-level strength warriors to protect him, what else was there to worry about?
But the middle-aged mercenary leader's cognition obviously couldn't replace the presence of the others, and not everyone recognized the two swords, so for a while, there was only a quiet inhalation sound left in the woods.
Brando didn't answer, but in his gaze, the frustrated cavemen moved out of the way, and the first bear goblin who came ashore from behind suddenly strode up. They wielded the flail in their hands, whirring, and then blasted through the air at the magically shaped castle.
There was a loud bang, it was the sound of earth and stone cracking, and the earth and stone castle suddenly fell apart. And everyone saw that the two crossbowmen, who were pretending to be pigs and eating tigers, suddenly leaped high, one grabbed the wizard, the other grabbed the warrior, and then the other rolled backwards and fell to the ground.
The caveman let out a scream of excitement and seemed to be ready to attack.
But it's precisely this time. With a sharp whistle, a team of more than fifty cavalry suddenly came out of the forest, and everyone subconsciously turned around, and Fern and Juta saw that the leading rider was the tiger sparrow. It's Lubis' mercenaries and a few unknown small mercenary groups.
"Lord Lord, what are you ......" Seeing this strange army, Fern suddenly had an epiphany, Brando wanted to use the tactics of adding oil to attract the main force of the cavemen - if he invested too many troops at the beginning, it might cause the other party to be alert; But if you increase the number of troops a little bit, it may have the miraculous effect of boiling a frog in warm water!
"It's the Tiger Sparrow's way of doing it." Brando's eyes lit up as he stared in the direction of the riverbank.
"The point is that these cavemen are unwilling to give up the bear goblins and companions that have been sent, and the inhabitants of the underground often have this weakness when arranging tactics......" The young man smiled, "Actually, not only NPCs, but also players occasionally make such mistakes, so it's natural to get used to it." After all, Qiaogendigang's population resources are too expensive...... ",......"
In fact, as soon as Tiger Sparrow mentioned the idea to him, he knew that he would succeed in reading, because it was so ingenious that it was no different from the psychology of the inhabitants of the underworld in the past, so much so that he watched the two holy archangels he controlled and their "companions, standing up from the ground rolling and crawling together, and cheering there at the command of his heart, as if he had really suddenly seen reinforcements." I couldn't help but feel a little funny for a while, wondering if I was too obscene.
"NPC" player ...... "Nose Grace asked.
Brando coughed and replied, "Look at the ...... ahead"
The three Grand Masters turned their heads in unison, and the door to the lumberyard creaked up again. But this time it wasn't one door, but three doors in the east, west, south, south—and everyone saw a steady stream of cavemen pouring out of thin air from behind the tall wooden bars, as if there was no end, and Clenthia almost gasped a little bit - these alone were more than two hundred, and it seemed that his previous prediction was not half a bit.
This means that there may be more than 300 cavemen in this camp, and Martha is on top, how can this be fought? It's one thing to be able to lure them out, but now it seems that even if the other party gives up the location, it doesn't seem like they can eat it in one bite.
He couldn't help but look at Brando with a pale face.
But Brando watched in silence as the black crush of cavemen waded across the river - their goal was clearly to save his own troops from crossing the river before the human cavalry could join up with their companions.
In terms of speed, they do have this advantage.
But it was at this moment that Brando was waiting, he didn't care about the somewhat ugly faces of the three grand masters, he just raised his hand silently: ", ...... crossbow"
Everyone was stunned, looking at the black troglodyte on the scene and the bear goblin following behind, they really lacked the courage to fight. And even at this time, half of the enemy is still on the river beach, is it too early to prepare for the arrows at this moment? But no one dared to disobey the orders of a lord, and regardless of whether the lord was worthy of the name here, at least the identity of the nobleman of Brando and his own strength were enough to make the three Grand Masters present acquiesce to this.
And the three largest mercenary groups did not disagree, and the others certainly did not dare to express different opinions. Besides, the bait was still at the edge of the forest, and they couldn't let their companions go.
The mercenaries unhooked their crossbows one after another, pulled back the crumble, and began to wind up. Because the opponent was a caveman with an abnormal sense of hearing, everyone had to slow down their hands and feet, and tighten the bowstring bit by bit.
A crossbow was silently erected, and the sound of a green voice echoed in the forest, as if a breeze was caressing the treetops.
"Flatten ......," Brando commanded in a low voice when he saw the last man on the bowstring.
At this moment, the time was just right, "At this time, the goblins and cavemen were wading ashore on the water, because they had slowed down", this precise prediction order surprised almost every regiment commander present; Crenthia even looked back at Brando in surprise, he was thoughtful, he was the most perceptive of the three Grand Masters, but he didn't expect Brando to know this about his mercenaries.
You know, they've never given command of their mercenaries to this young man.
On what basis did he guess?
However, Brando smiled secretly in his heart, the strength of the mercenaries in Eruin is generally about the same, and the habit of twisting strings is not much different. The scene just now was just a confirmation of his experience in the past game, and it was not the first time he had made such a prediction.
Not to mention bear goblins and cavemen, even the faster wind elf cavalry, he can also let these mercenaries get ahead of the curve.
At this moment, every mercenary, including the wizard, had leveled the heavy crossbow in his hand - or at least a crossbow. There are no mercenaries who don't have ranged weapons, and even if they don't have an easy-to-use crossbow, at least they'll have a bow or musket.
Each crossbow was aimed at its own target, but the tide of enemies was a little skeptical of how effective this strike would be.
Everyone couldn't help but think that the young lord had said that it was just a warm-up?
The question is is there such a warm-up?
Brando didn't answer, he waited two seconds, then snapped his fingers.
"Putting ......"
