Chapter 14 I can't bear the wolf
As night fell, Carl and Danas gathered around the fire to discuss feasible plans, and what left Danas and his staff at a loss was that this was a troll that had been fighting against Riptide Fort for thousands of years, and it was already an old treacherous and slippery, in Karl's words, it was the essence of Taizu's guerrilla tactics: the enemy advances and I retreat, and the enemy retreats and I disturb.
Whenever Fort Riptide troops came to exterminate them, they retreated back into the forest, leaving Fort Riptide's strongest cavalry useless, and the results of the Fort Riptide troops, who had given up their superiority, in the forest against the experienced trolls of jungle warfare, can be imagined, just look at the war between the United States and Vietnam on Earth.
"Then lure these guys out and fight." Karl suggested that Karl knew that to deal with such an enemy, either you would either clear the wall, compress their activity space, and force them to come out for a decisive battle, because if you don't break through, the result will be surrounded, and then encircled and killed, or you can only lure, and then encircle and destroy their main force.
Danas shook his head: "Actually, we've always tried this, but these guys are not fooled at all, they don't even have the courage to fight us head-on, even in the forest. β
"Just because it didn't work before doesn't mean it doesn't work now." Karl gestured to Torcara in Danas' hand, "You should know what it means to the trolls, if you let the trolls see the opportunity to take it"
"Then they will do whatever it takes!" Danas said excitedly, "But how do you fool the trolls?" β
Karl smiled, "Then it depends on whether you have the courage or not?" β
After explaining his plan, Danas thought for a while, and despite the opposition of his subordinates, he made a decision.
"Then it's decided, and the reconnaissance mission will be left to me." To the surprise of the crowd, Karl rose to the sky and disappeared into the night.
"Isn't he a warrior?" The cavalry captain's face was full of confusion and disbelief.
Danas turned around from shock and shook his head, as far as I knew: "He is not only a warrior, but also a priest, and now he can fly, a metamorphosis is a pervert, and it cannot be judged by common sense at all." β
Even though it was completely dark, it didn't affect Carl with his super eyesight, and the trolls' piles of bonfires showed him the way like a beacon.
After this period of continuous practice, Karl's flight speed has been almost the same as the speed of running at full strength, human beings have always longed to be able to fly freely in the sky like birds since the occurrence of intelligence, even if this is Azeroth, only those powerful mages have the ability to soar in the air, no, it should be said that floating, they can't be like birds like Carl, after all, they rely on magic skills and not their own bodies.
Hovering over Deadwood Village for a while, the entire terrain was already clear, and I roughly counted these trolls, all of them were tens of thousands, and the weapons and equipment were really very backward, no wonder they didn't dare to confront the troops of Riptide Castle.
Carl felt a little unbearable in his heart, but then shook his head, he is not the Virgin of Superman in American comics, when it comes to race wars, especially in Azeroth, there is no need for mercy, the hatred between trolls and humans and elves has lasted for thousands of years, Carl can see the human skulls hanging everywhere on the troll camp below, and he can even see those deep tooth marks on it.
If you refuse to integrate, then you will be eliminated.
Early the next morning, Danas made arrangements for his commanders, and the troops quickly dispersed and set off, while the remaining Danas and his personal guard continued to march deeper into the forest.
"Are you sure it will work." Danas took Tolcara in his hand and waved it from time to time, as if he was afraid that others would not see him.
Karl didn't look at him, and this was the third time he asked, "It's better than you wandering around the forest." β
"That's just as well." Danas thought for a moment and agreed with Carl.
"Tell me how you got along with Katrana?" Danas looked at Karl with a narrow expression.
Carl glanced at him, "You really want to know?" β
Danas chick nodded like a peck.
"Alas," Karl sighed deeply, "who made me look so handsome!" Every morning, I wake up to my own handsomeness, and then I look in the mirror: I am handsome again. β
Karl was answered by Danas's raised middle finger, and Danas was about to continue, when Karl gave him a look: the fish had taken the bait.
Standing on a small hillside, Serichy stared at the human cavalry squad in the distance, and the two young men in front of him who were chatting and laughing were the leaders of the troops. Serich smacked his lips, it seems that Solas is really old and confused, war is not a child's game, hmph, the Torbain family, sooner or later we trolls will wipe you out.
Today, let's use this kid and Tolcara to pay tribute to those departed heroes.
He waved his hand back, then jumped down the hill vertically, silently landing on one branch below and then leaping onto another. One after another, headhunters followed.
Karl and Danas were still teasing me, not at all aware of the battlefield, but the cavalry squad that followed them watched the movements around them vigilantly, showing the high military quality of this army, but unfortunately they did not seem to be aware of the gaze of a pair of hateful eyes from the trees overhead.
Serich watched them, and was now only twenty paces away, and the eyebrows of the soldiers could be clearly seen, and Serich smiled contemptuously, as if he had seen the despair and fear on the face of the prince of Riptide.
He jumped from the tree, drew his axe from his waist in the air, and landed easily between the last two Riptide Castle soldiers, swinging it before they could react, killing them all and then letting the young prince slowly experience despair and grief.
His first blow slashed the throat of the Riptide Soldiers, which was actually the only fatal blow for the heavily armed soldiers. Then he swung a second blow, but unfortunately it was the royal guard of Fort Ripheke, and the prince's personal guard, the most powerful military force of Fort Ripheke, and the other soldier had already reacted when Serich's jump, and Serich's second blow was easily blocked by him, and then slashed at Serich.
"Enemy attack!" While the soldiers shouted loudly, the troll headhunters brought by Serich also rushed out, and the soldiers of Riptide Castle were not panicked, and the two sides began to fight.
Carl watched as he smirked and rushed towards his headhunter, a grim smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and the ancient tree predator in his hand slashed straight down, and the troll's hideous smile turned into fear, and then the boundless darkness swallowed him.
Carl watched his brain and marrow spill in half, his stomach churned, and he resisted the urge to vomit to meet the trolls rushing over.
Almost every soldier in Fort Riptide had to face three or four troll headhunters, and with the advantage of sophisticated equipment, these soldiers were worthy of the elite of Fort Riptide, except for the soldier who was killed by the SΓ©rich's sneak attack, the rest of the soldiers were wounded, but they still fought bravely, the sword in their hands made one troll after another fall, coupled with Carl's healing skills from time to time, the soldiers were more and more brave although they were encircled.
Serich's swing of the axe slashed at a soldier's chest once again, only to be blocked by the thick armor, "Damn it! "That's why the trolls don't want to engage the Riptide Castle soldiers head-on, these thick armors make the trolls with backward weapons and equipment too helpless, and the headhunters are wooden javelins that can't hurt them at all, so they can only fight hand-to-hand.
Serrich roared, struck hard, swung away the sword stabbed by the Riptide Castle soldier, and turned around when he was exposed, the axe in his hand slashed through his neck, and the Riptide Castle soldier shook for a moment, and finally fell unwillingly.
"Sons, kill them all!"
The headhunters saw the might of the leader, and seemed to see victory beckoning to them, and rushed towards the Riptide soldiers with strange screams.
