Chapter 40: The Real Enemy
The night is like a huge blanket, and the stars are the beautiful gems set on it. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe sky here is extremely transparent, but Chen Mo and the others are not in the mood to appreciate the vast sea of stars.
There was a rustling sound in the distance, and I don't know if the wind was blowing the leaves, or if the enemy had arrived. However, the approaching enemy seems to be very patient, and there has been no other movement for a long time.
After a while, the time is up, and it's time for the changing of the guard. The first group of players felt a little bored, and they didn't bother to wait any longer, so they went directly to the second group to hand over. Chen Mo also came up, intending to explain the situation found nearby.
At this moment, the sound of a small stream not far away indicated that a large number of people or things had entered the water. A few people looked up, and the light in the direction of the woods was not good, but they could still see dozens of people in the dark night.
Is it coming? Chen Mo didn't care about explaining, and immediately ran to the NPC to wake up these resting guards, Wei Chuangchuang's bald voice had already shouted: "Enemy attack!" Enemy attack! ”
As soon as the men who were crossing the river saw that their tracks were exposed, they simply quickened their speed, and rushed across the stream to the camp. The NPCs were crawling out of their tents in twos and threes, geared up. Van Deert, on the other hand, seemed to be sleeping with his lieutenant in his clothes, and at this time he was fully dressed, forgetting that he had not paid attention to the murderers who were close by, and turned around and entered the tent again, as if he was very relieved of the strength of the camp guards.
The dozen or so players seemed very excited, and before the robbers could rush into the camp, they rushed out first. The difference in the number of double defenses is not large, but it is also evenly matched. Chen Mo did not go up to join in the fun like a bald head, but stood in the camp like a melon seller and watched.
Most of these robbers are level 5-8, and their equipment is very poor, but they are more like homeless people and beggars. The combat effectiveness was simply different from the Stone Fire Brotherhood that Chen Mo and the others encountered at the beginning.
Occasionally, a few robbers who broke through the player's defenses broke into the camp and tried to grab one or two boxes containing supplies, but they were ruthlessly killed by the camp guards. The robbers gradually showed their decline, and soon after the battle, they all fled in the wilderness.
The more than ten players who returned triumphantly were even more excited, but Wei Chuangchuang also seemed to have noticed something, and looked at Chen Mo with a puzzled face, "I said, master, these robbers are too weak, it's a little unreasonable." ”
Chen Mo also nodded and replied: "Be careful, I'm afraid these are not the main ones, just look at the attitude of the NPC." ”
Looking around, the NPC guards had already returned to their tents and started to rest, not taking the enemy attack seriously at all. However, after a cup of tea, the players who had been holding back for a long time had not recovered from the excitement of fighting monsters just now, and the second wave of enemy attacks had arrived. It still seems to be the same group, but there seem to be a little more of them.
When the players saw that it was these rabbles again, they went up and killed them again. The NPC guards who had just entered the tent were standing at the edge of the tent guarding the supplies. This group of bandits came and went faster. There are a few players who can't get enough of it, and they chase it a long way.
Two waves of enemy attacks in a row, although there is no threat, but obviously these NPC guards do not dare to take it lightly, at this time sitting in a group, but no longer go back to the tent to rest.
After waiting for a long time, there was no movement, and these guards were different from the players, and seemed to be a little listless because they didn't rest. Those players braged about how many monsters they had just killed, but after a long time, they also felt a little bored. At this time, it was already Chen Mo's turn to keep vigil with their group. Several people are a little worried, because it seems that the condition of the NPC is not very good, and if a high-intensity battle really breaks out, I am afraid that the situation is not optimistic.
However, the situation was so unlucky, the third wave of enemy attacks finally came an hour later, and it was already the second half of the night in the game, except for three or five NPCs who were still holding out, the other guards had already returned to their tents to rest, and this battle did not seem to alarm them, or that they did not need to intervene.
It's still the second group of people, these equipment is uneven, and the robbers who seem a little funny actually talk about tactics, round after round of harassment, and it seems that there are more people, about thirty or more.
Chen Mo and the three of them surrounded a carriage loaded with supplies, solving the fish that other players accidentally let go. However, as time went on, more and more robbers were able to break through the player's defenses and break into the camp. However, those NPC guards are extraordinary, and their shots are ruthless, and the scene is not chaotic.
Just when there was a stalemate in this meeting, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves on the road in the distance. About a dozen or so rode fast horses and came in the dust, led by a short-haired man dressed in animal skins, with short hair and a beard like a steel needle, like a hedgehog. Chen Mo fixed his eyes on it: Level 10 thief elite, Gordon. Look at the vicious robbers behind Gordon, all level 10, I'm afraid, this is the real enemy attack.
The sound of horses' hooves roared, and it was less than 50 meters away from the camp, and I don't know when, the leader of the caravan, Vandert, and his lieutenant had come out of the tent, and with long swords in hand, staring at these galloping robbers. He shouted in a deep voice: "Enemy attack, defense preparation." ”
This enemy attack was obviously more effective than Wei Chuang's bald shout, and I saw that these NPC guards, who were still a little listless just now, instantly changed their capable faces, and put on a set of formations to meet the enemy in a rather orderly manner. Five men in the first row knelt with shields, three in the second row raised their spears, and two guards behind them had already begun to shoot with bows.
Although the arrows did not cause any direct damage to the bandits who charged on horseback, the frightened horses slowed down the storming of the camp, and even a few people abandoned their horses and ran directly towards the camp.
What happened during this period is slow to say, but in fact it is within a breath or two.
Those players who were still fighting with the rogues before also discovered the abnormality and began to move closer to the camp, but these rogues were like doping at this time, and their combat effectiveness skyrocketed, although the level was not high, and the equipment was poor, but they dragged a dozen or so players. In the end, there were only four or five people who could come to support.
And these people obviously haven't reacted from the state of abusing the vegetables just now, and they meet these robbers who are charging. There were three players, one of whom was hacked to death by the other party. It didn't even slow down the other party much.
The players who had paid the toll also came out of their tents and assumed a defensive posture in front of the carriage they were riding. But looking at the other party's appearance and position, it seems that he is not going to contribute. Because they are in the location of the carriage, there are no supplies, I am afraid that these robbers will not patronize these people.
