47. Fight side by side

An abandoned town in Harudale County.

The town, which had been abandoned for a long time, was now full of murder, and there was splashing blood and dead corpses everywhere.

In the town, a team of human warriors was fighting a group of humanoid creatures.

However, in terms of scenes, it is more tangible than a one-sided slaughter rather than a battle.

In the face of the heavily armed armor, hard shields, swords and bows of the human forces, the humanoids who wield crude stone spears and axes, or throw stones with slings, are not even capable of inflicting the slightest damage on their enemies.

"Kill all these kobolds!" The leader of the human unit leading the team swung his sword and released a fighting slashing blade, cutting all the enemies within ten steps in front of him in two, and then the long knife swept across the battlefield and gave a loud order.

After the surrounding subordinates loudly agreed, they all accelerated their actions.

……

Since the abandonment of Harudale County, the once thriving human settlements have long since become a paradise for all kinds of monsters, roaming low-class creatures, or the remnants of demons and even the undead in the county.

In order for Harudal County to become a human habitat again, these dove-nest creatures must be cleaned up.

And now this scene is the same thing as a team of the Rog Knights is clearing up monsters in a medium-sized town in Harudale County.

Entrenched in the town was a group of kobolds, four or five hundred in number, almost twenty times the size of the human force tasked with the extermination mission. However, the absolute superiority in numbers did not translate into corresponding combat effectiveness, but the human troops were inferior in numbers, and the wolves killed by the kobolds rushed and fled.

But that's not too surprising. Kobolds are extremely weak among the humanoid races, and the gap between them and their close branches of the gnolls is not a star and a half. Even an adult man who has not been trained as a warrior can take out three or five kobolds with his bare hands. If it weren't for the fact that the kobold clan is so fertile (at least four or five offspring can be born in a litter, and the cubs enter adulthood in two years), and the kobolds who are killed every year are far less than the new ones, they would have been removed from the world long ago.

However, even in weak ethnic groups, there are always one or two strong players who can be put on the table.

A kobold warlock covered in colorful rags and wielding a rough staff waved his staff at a fighting battlefield after completing a strange dance ritual, only to see several human warriors in the area who were rushing into the colony to kill in all directions suddenly slow down as if they were hanging heavy lead blocks, and the kobolds around them howled in unison after avoiding the slowed down human warriors, and then held their stone spears and prepared to stab at the humans.

However, just as they were about to rush up, the human warriors trapped by the slowing spell suddenly let out a few slight explosions, and then saw these warriors regain their original agility and launch a counterattack against the kobold who pounced on them.

After a wave of swords, the kobolds who rushed up to try to pick up the cheap ones became corpses all over the place. The kobold, who was not dead, was frightened, screamed and turned to flee.

The kobold warlock in the distance was puzzled to see that his magic had expired so quickly, but he was immediately angry at the cowardly behavior of his own people. I saw him jump and jump in place and howl a few times, and then began to wave his staff again to prepare for the next spell. But just before he could swing the staff in his hand, an arrow flew and shot the kobold warlock through with a "whoosh". The powerful force of the arrow knocked the kobold warlock's weak body upside down, and slammed it into the door of a half-collapsed house a few paces away.

Several sturdy kobolds who had gathered around the kobold warlock for protection were shocked when they saw this. But before they could react, a figure suddenly appeared where the kobold warlock was standing, and then the figure spun around and shot out countless small blades, and the sturdy kobolds around him were stabbed by the sharp blades before they could even see the appearance of the person who came, and the corpse fell to the ground with a puff.

In just a few seconds, the strongest kobold warlock in the kobold crowd, along with several sturdy kobold guards, were all corpses.

After all the strong men in the colony died, the kobolds who had already been killed lost their courage, screaming in terror and fleeing in all directions. However, several entrances and exits to the town have either been blocked or are guarded by humans. Although the stone wall on the outskirts of the town, which was only five or six meters long, was not too high, it was not something that a kobold who was more than a meter tall could climb over.

It was as if the bowstring, which was extremely taut, could no longer bear the extra burden, and it broke with a "snap", and I don't know where it started, and the kobold finally broke up completely.

Most of the kobolds threw away their rudimentary weapons and threw their heads on the ground with their heads in their hands, giving in to the humans in front of them. At first, the few kobolds seemed ready to resist by relying on the houses in the town, but after the few houses they had retreated were suddenly engulfed in flames that appeared out of thin air, the kobolds also lost the courage to continue fighting the humans, and fled from the town through the few gaps in the collapsed walls of the town, crying and screaming, and fled into the woods outside the town.

The captain of the human force stopped his subordinates from eagerly following and killing, and quickly gathered the captured kobold together. Although the escape of some kobolds may still have some hidden dangers to the safety of the surrounding area, most of the adult combat power of this kobold tribe has been wiped out by their own side, and all the females and cubs in the group have also been captured. The loss of all the females and cubs would be tantamount to declaring that the kobold group was almost wiped out, and even if they were lucky enough to organize a new tribe to reproduce again, it would be ten or eight years before they could make a comeback. During this time, the human side can rely on migration to revitalize the town. In the future, if there is any time to spare, any army can enter the forest again to search for their traces, and thus eliminate this trouble once and for all.

As for the labor needed to renovate the town, there was no better fit than these captured kobolds.

While cleaning up the battlefield and counting the loot and prisoners, the leader of the team was thanking a few people who were dressed and equipped to absolutely no one of their colleagues.

"Lord Xue Xiaojing, Lord Yang Zhao, Lord Zheng Kaidong, Lord Bai Yang. Thank you to all four for helping us reclaim this town. "The commander of the army is a man in his forties, but at this time, he gave Xue Xiaojing, who was less than twenty years old, a polite look in front of him." Thanks to your help, we were able to clear the town of kobolds in half a day, and there were no casualties. If it was in the past, it would never have been so smooth to sweep away a dog-headed crowd of this size with two ten-person teams. Not to mention the possible battle damage, even if you win, most of the kobolds will escape, and there will never be so many prisoners captured. ”

Facing the kind words of the captain of the Rogge Knights, Xue Xiaojing smiled and said, "I don't dare to do it, it's just a gesture." The relationship between your group and us is not shallow, and it would be too much to say such kind words. ”

"Where, where." Hearing this, the middle-aged captain hurriedly shook his hand and said: "Several adults are strong, and they have destroyed the high-end combat power of this kobold group with just a little shot, which has provided us with great help in completing the task, no matter how much we express our gratitude, it is not too much." ”
