074 Goblin Slayer (34)
The nezumi stopped their senseless attacks at night, and they took advantage of the darkness to do something else.
The corpses of the nezumi who had fallen to the ground were dragged and stacked by them in the night, and a mountain of corpses gradually took shape with their efforts.
Scott looked at the rats, who were a little confused by the nightfall, and asked, "What are they doing?" ”
Helibel: "Mountains of corpses." ”
The priest sister and the eyed mage girl looked at each other when they heard this, although they looked at Helibel's indifferent expression, and felt in their hearts that what the rat man was doing now was insignificant, and they could be killed with one hand casually, but out of curiosity, the priest girl thought about it and stood up and asked timidly: "Then what are they piling up the corpse mountain for?" I don't think they're going to do any useless work. ”
Helibel: "You'll understand right away, just look closely." ”
As the night approached, the field of vision of the human adventurers and soldiers was further reduced, and at this moment of death, taking advantage of the protection of the night, one goblin after another walked out of the forest with a greedy expression on their faces.
Although these goblins are basically ordinary goblins, except for a few who are the elite giant goblins among the goblins, but the weapons in their hands are all short bows and slings, and they are a complete long-range attack force.
"It's!" After hard work, he cleaned up countless goblin killers in the dark goblin lair, his eyes successfully obtained unscientific evolution, and he had weak night vision, so the goblin troops' every move could not be concealed from his eyes, and he already understood what was going on with the inexplicable action of sending the rats to death during the day and then piling up a mountain of corpses when night came, At all, he is using his own lives to create a level playing field for the Goblin Ranged Attack Force to fight a level playing field with the human defenders who have a condescending advantage on the walls.
However, the battle between humans and goblins, to put it mildly, even if they exchange the lives of one person for the lives of ten goblins, it will be a blood loss, not to mention whether they can have such a high exchange without intention.
Goblin is a disgusting creature that can't be removed like a weed, although I like to use human women as the mother, but in essence, the goblin race has no requirements for the object of the mother at all, any kind of creature can give birth to the corresponding goblin variant, and it grows rapidly, only a few weeks to grow from the infant stage to the mature state.
Scott's face was a little ugly, and the dead duck said stiffly, "It's just that you can't break through the fortress." ”
Helibel: "So those damn monsters will use wheel warfare to keep draining our energy and defending the city until we can't resist, and they have enough numbers and reproduction speed, so they die." ”
Looking at Helibel's indifferent and calm expression, Scott, who had no reason, panicked in his heart, "No matter what, there shouldn't be so many monsters gathered in the Green Leaf Forest!" They have so much food. ”
Helibel: "Then why do you think they left the forest and marched in full force?" ”
"Then do they have enough military rations during this time?" Scott knew he had said something stupid, and if it wasn't enough, how could they swagger and put on a posture that they would besiege them to death.
"It's not enough, it's okay for a short time, and if it's enough time, it won't be enough to feed all the monsters hungry, so they will attack more crazy in the next period of time, no matter how heavy the losses are." Helibel said calmly.
Scott subconsciously showed an ecstatic expression on his face, "That means that as long as we survive this time, these damn monsters will starve themselves to death." ”
"No, no, Mr. Scott, as a nobleman, you don't often come into contact with these monsters, so it may not be clear." The Goblin Slayer smiled wryly and said what she hadn't finished saying for Heribel, "Monsters don't care if what they eat in their stomachs is part of other monsters. ”
"Shhh The kung fu girl's body shook uncontrollably, and when it came to this, no matter how much she wanted to pretend to be a turtle with a shrunken head and pretend that they had a great advantage, as long as Ping A went over, she could pinch all the goblins to death, and she couldn't win easily, and asked with a little panic: "What can we do to defend against their attacks." ”
"Then what do you think I'm dissatisfied with their casual consumption of supplies?" Heribel's calm voice made Scott, who was also listening to them on the side, his face stiffen, and he was a little embarrassed when he thought of the disapproval in his heart at that time, because he now believed that there were hundreds of thousands of monsters in the Helibel Forest, and the number of old and weak rats who were used as cannon fodder to attack them was at least nearly 10,000, so it can be seen that the number of monsters hidden in the forest was definitely not much.
As a monster with a good elimination rate, the old and weak have always been used as cannon fodder to die the fastest and the most to die, so unlike the situation where the old and weak have more combat power than the human tribe, there have always been more existences with combat power than the old and weak among the monsters.
The vanguard composed of nearly 10,000 old and weak ratmen means that there are definitely at least 100,000 fat and strong sturdy ratmen behind their buttocks, sharpening their knives and preparing to come to eat.
The goblin ranged troops climbed the mountain of corpses in dense numbers, and then the attack began.
Countless fist-sized stones rained down on the sky, mixed with a number of arrows made of bones.
Don't look at the goblins using stones and arrows made of bone, the power is indeed not as powerful as the arrows made of steel by humans, but it is not impossible to hit the face door or the unprotected area, and be seriously injured or even killed on the spot.
Similar weapons have been used in human history, although the defenders of the fortress are not efficient in the face of adventurers, but it is enough to kill.
As he spoke, an unlucky newcomer took a stone in the face and fell to the ground on his back, and the impact of the hard stone smashed out the brains of the young man without a helmet, and he was hopeless.
Under the rain of arrows on the human side, the speed at which the goblins fell far exceeded the speed at which the human side fell, or in other words, except for a very small number of rookie adventurers who still caused a few casualties due to inexperience and untimely interception, the other senior adventurers were at most injured after reacting, and rarely died again.
Those melee fighters among the adventurer's teammates on the wall who were temporarily unable to participate in the battle all walked up to the wall with their improvised shields and stood beside the adventurer with long-range attack ability, effectively defending against the goblin side's attacks.
The number of goblins on the mountain of corpses quickly decreased, and then there was no longer a single living goblin visible to the naked eye.
After hearing the report of the Red Hat Goblin Observer, the Goblin King's face turned black and terrifying, and his plan was to first use those old and weak nezumi to paralyze the humans in the fortress, making them mistakenly think that the monsters were nothing more than that, and then his goblin ranged attack force would dispatch to eliminate the human adventurers on the fortress as much as possible.
With or without intention, the human guards on the fortress wall will inevitably suffer heavy casualties, although the goblin troops it sent to the Yin Humans will also be killed and injured under the counterattack of the humans, but since it died, tens of thousands of goblins are still earned even if they are exchanged for two for three by humans.
But this does not include single digits of human casualties, and the fucking situation of thousands of casualties among the troops it has sent, even if they are ordinary goblins, just cannon fodder, and the battle with humans does not have such a mournful exchange ratio.
"A makeshift shield!" The Goblin King snatched the monoculars in the hands of the red hat goblin observer and personally observed the human guards on the fortress wall, and when he saw the object of human defense, he was stunned at first, and subconsciously said the name of the item, and then the green tendons on his head burst out, and he gritted his teeth and roared in a low voice, "Who is it?" Don't let me catch you, or I'll make you understand what it means to live and not die. ”
The Goblin King's lungs are about to explode, although all the deaths in this attack are some garbage, but it is worth dying anyway, and it is so confusing that it did not cause many casualties to the human race and was wiped out!
"Why did those arrogant humans suddenly rush to make so many improvised shields?" The Goblin King casually glanced at the Goblin Shaman who had divined the thoughts of the leaders of the city with a prophecy spell, and then smashed its head with a single hammer.
"Useless waste is no longer needed."
