Chapter 142: Harpy's Sniping (Part I)

"We're surrounded by harpies?" Jian Chen was taken aback by Polly's words, "Are you sure?" ”

The sorceress and the half-elves also stared at Polly in unison.

Polly hesitated for a moment before he said, "It was far away at the time, and I didn't see it very clearly, but the griffin knights seemed to be very sure, so it shouldn't be wrong, right?" ”

"How so?"

Jian Chen stood up irritably, and paced in circles in the tent with a little uneasiness: "Aren't the Negans fighting with the dwarves in full swing?" How did it come to this? Since Marchem left with the men, there has been no dwarven army here, so what are the Negans doing here? Is it coming at us? ”

The half-elf thought for a moment and spoke, "Lord Lord, could it be that the cave man in Philip's mouth came back?" The robbers had left a lot of supplies behind, and maybe the Negans wanted to get them back? ”

The sorceress disagreed with the half-elf's statement: "Could it be that you are thinking too much, maybe it's just that the harpy who escaped in the last battle is still active in this area!" ”

Jian Chen pondered for a while, and was a little uncertain about the two people's statements: "It's hard to say, but be careful, Pete, you go and pass on my order, and let the griffin knight immediately send griffons to investigate around!" Be sure to figure out why these harpies are in this area, and keep the soldiers on their toes, so that if it's really the Negans who are killed, they won't be caught off guard if they want to fight! ”

"Yes! Your Lord! The half-elf replied and hurried away.

And the female magician didn't need Chen Jian's orders at this time, she had already cast the magic power divine eye magic, and looked around in this area, although she couldn't probe too far due to magic, but it was also a way.

Jian Chen also asked Polly to point out the location of the Harpy in the magic screen, and then Chen Jian connected the point to his own military camp, and asked Polly to inform the half-elves to focus on the direction indicated by the line.

"Lord Lord, there is no abnormality around us for the time being, even if there is really an enemy, it should still be some distance away from us!" After checking it out, the sorceress, who found nothing, reluctantly withdrew her magic.

Jian Chen was a little annoyed and said, "If I had known that this would happen, I shouldn't have been so greedy and wanted to gather all those Thor trolls, but I should have followed the order sent by Empress Catherine a few days ago, ignore the affairs of the Negans and the Dragon Queen, and set off for Hammondale immediately!" ”

"Don't be too anxious, maybe it's just a few scattered harpies just happening to appear in this area!" The female magician saw that Jian Chen was a little self-blaming, and couldn't help but persuade softly.

Jian Chen nodded, and said helplessly: "I hope things can really be as you say!" But I always have some bad premonitions! Let's hope nothing happens! ”

As it turned out, Jian Chen's hunch was quite accurate, and the next day, the griffin knight, who had been out for a day and a night, hurriedly reported to Jian Chen that he had discovered an army of Negans heading towards the area at full speed.

"My lord! Their main force is less than a day's journey from here at most! It seems that the target should be here, so please deal with it as soon as possible! ”

The Griffin Knight's report on the composition of the enemy's troops and the number of troops made Chen Jian's head three inches bigger.

"Two thousand five hundred! Two thousand five hundred! We're less than 800 now! This battle can't be fought! ”

Jian Chen slapped the table fiercely in his tent, his face was full of iron, he really couldn't understand why there were always so many powerful enemies fighting his ideas.

The half-elf hesitated for a moment and proposed: "Lord Lord, why don't we withdraw immediately, this is not far from the border of Hammondal, we will be able to leave Baildus soon, those Negans should not be so bold to chase into the territory of the empire, right?" And we can call for help from the Empire right away, and let the defenders of Hammondale come and meet us, so that we should be foolproof! The enemy's speed is fast, but our speed is not slow, they should not be able to catch up with us! ”

The sorceress nodded in agreement with the half-elf's opinion: "Yes, even if the enemy is too strong, we don't need to touch them, it's better to avoid them for the time being!" ”

Jian Chen thought for a while, and said helplessly: "But Bruce's clan hasn't arrived yet, let's leave like this, the Thor trolls will definitely be dissatisfied, and if their clansmen collide with the Negans after coming here, I'm afraid that there will be accidents, and Bruce and they will definitely turn against us at that time." ”

The sorceress said, "My lord, we can send someone out to contact them again, and let them hide first, and then let them go to Hammondale on their own after the Negans leave!" ”

The three of them were here to discuss countermeasures, and in the wasteland of Baildus, the caveman Shaket was approaching their location step by step.

At the same time that the griffons discovered this army, the Negans also revealed the griffon's presence.

Shaket didn't pay much attention to this, it was already quite close, and it would be really strange if the enemy couldn't find out about it.

He had already arranged for the enemy to find out.

"Zoya! Take your men and go full speed, and if the enemy shows signs of escaping, you will harass them with all your might, slowing them down as much as possible! If possible, don't let them escape to the territory of Hammondal! But you must not fight with them, the commander of the other party is very cunning, you are not his opponent! Be careful! ”

Shaket said this to his Harpy Leader, Zoya, which made the Harpy Leader a little unconvinced.

"Lord Shaket, it's just a small army of a few hundred people, and my sisters and I are veterans who have followed the Dragon Queen to fight in the north and south, so we will naturally be measured when fighting! You're being too cautious! And their commanders, even if they are powerful, don't deserve your attention, right? You are our victorious general! ”

Shaket exasperated: "Don't underestimate any enemy! Zoya! Although the number of opponents is small, the strength is not weak! I don't want you to have an accident, so that the little force in the dragon queen's hands will be damaged, so I will give you such a special explanation! Do as I command, or I will send someone else!" ”

The caveman's anger frightened the harpy named Zoya, who shrunk her neck and said respectfully, "Yes, Lord Shakter, I will fight as you ask!" ”

Watching the five hundred harpy banshees gradually disappear in the sky, Shaket was a little helpless, these arrogant soldiers under the Dragon Queen were all virtuous, arrogant and arrogant, although they did have enough strength to support their proud personality.

If it weren't for Shaket's own command ability being recognized by these guys, it would be a question of whether he could command them.

It took Zoya and her five hundred harpy banshees to pounce on the location of Chen Jian's camp in less than half a day.

But at this moment, this place was already empty, and Jian Chen had already left here with his army.

However, their whereabouts remained under the control of the Harpys, and the Negan Scouts never relaxed their surveillance of the enemy, and the visible wheel prints on the ground showed the Harpy the direction of their escape.

"Master Hackett guessed right, they want to escape! These cowards don't dare to fight us at all! Zoya laughed out loud in her crisp voice, which, like the other harpies, was quite beautiful and her laughter was even more pleasant.

"Let's catch up! Let them taste our awesomeness! Let's hope they don't turn around and run away as soon as they see us! ”

At Zoya's command, hundreds of harpies giggled and flapped their wings into the air, once again beginning the pursuit of the enemy.

The news of the enemy's escape soon reached Shakter's ears, and he was not at all surprised that the enemy had fled the cavemen.

"It would be strange if they didn't run away! I'm afraid that they have not only fled now, but have also asked for help from home! We have to move a little faster! ”

However, another piece of information puzzled Shakert, and the scouts reported the presence of dozens of Thor's trolls in the enemy's ranks, and that the Thor's trolls left alone in the other direction after the enemy began to flee.

"How can there be Thor's trolls in the armies of the Erathia Empire? I didn't find out when I fought before, could it be that I was captured in Bairders later? Now you let them go because you want to escape? Shaket was puzzled.

After another half a day of pursuit, Zoya and the harpys finally bit the opponent's tail.

The Harpys were thrilled by the long convoy of the small imperial army, as the contents of the cart would soon become their spoils of war, and the Dragon Queen had always been generous to her men.

However, the opposing griffin formation obviously did not want the harpy to be easily defeated, and they firmly guarded the sky above their own team, far away from the harpy in the sky.

"Chief! Let's go on, we can kill those troublesome griffons first, last time we were few of us, we suffered a little loss at their hands, now is a good opportunity to take revenge! "A harpy who had followed Shakt in the dragoon bandits and fought the griffons suggested to Zoya.

Zoya smiled coldly and said, "Of course, although Lord Shaket has repeatedly told me to be careful, we always have to try the opponent's quality before we know how careful we should be." ”

Under her leadership, the harpys slowly approached this emperor ** team in a rather loose formation, the reason why this loose formation was used was because Shakt had warned Zoya that the other party had a powerful fire magic master, and the loose formation could undoubtedly greatly reduce the lethality of area magic.

Discovering the enemy's abnormal movements, the monks in the emperor's ** team began to attack their enemies from afar with magic, but their single attack magic, which was quite powerful, was avoided by the harpy with her agile skills.

As a well-known flying unit on the mainland, the Harpys have always been known for their agility, they are very good at using their speed to make enemies retreat with one blow, and their extreme speed and good skills allow them to successfully inflict serious damage on their opponents and retreat before they have time to launch a counterattack.

Dodging the other party's magic at such a distance at this time was a piece of cake for the harpies.

Therefore, the enemy's attack immediately provoked a giggling mockery from the harpy.

Then the harpies accelerated violently and pounced on their opponents with great momentum.
