The sudden attack caused some confusion among the emperor's soldiers, and the sharp arrows shot from the dense fog caught everyone off guard, and many soldiers were shot to the ground with a happy smile on their faces, and the horses pulling the cart and the unarmed porters were also tragically killed by the pond fish, the screams of the arrowed horses, the screams of the porters, and the roar of the emperor's soldiers.

The lizardmen archers ignored the sounds, unable to see the enemy's movements in sight due to the perennial fog of the swamp, but they still bent their bows and arrows quickly, and rained arrows at the place the commanders had predetermined.

This way of using bows and arrows is unique to the Tytarian army, the swamp people call this tactic a cluster blind shot, no way, the use of bows and arrows in the swamps, otherwise it is not enough to exert the power of the bow and arrows, due to the fog, the distance is close to the archers will lose the advantage that the long-range troops should have, and the distance will not be able to aim at the opponent, so they can only use a large area of covering fire suppression to hit the enemy, it is worth mentioning that the first to create this bow and arrow tactics back then, is the immortal hero Tanan, And the lizardman archers in the swamp also began to dominate the continent from that time.

Strictly speaking, the lizardmen are not qualified archers, their bodies are not agile, their fingers are not flexible enough, their eyes are not very good, and they do not have the elven archery skills that are incredible, and the swamp people's skills in making bows and arrows are also very rough, but at that time, Tanan was very unique and combined with the environment of the swamp, so that the lizardmen could use their strengths and avoid their weaknesses, and became an indispensable and important force in the swamp.

The lizards are tall and long-handed, strong and enduring, and long-distance fire suppression does not require any too precise accuracy, so Tanan uses a locally produced wood with excellent toughness to make a simple longbow, which is used by the lizards, this longbow is very powerful, and the arrows shot can easily penetrate the general armor within the effective range, plus the lizard people's strength, the rate of fire has been fully guaranteed, and it is suitable for fire suppression.

For a long time, any army that invaded the swamp was extremely big on the battlefield against these lizardman archers who were always hiding in the shadows, and the emperor ** team at this time was of course no exception, those emperor ** soldiers armed with heavy crossbows came back from the panic, and when they wanted to fight back, they found that due to the fog and the obstruction of the woods, they could not find the exact location of the enemy at all, and when the enemy's arrow rain kept flying out from the shadows and shot down their companions one by one, However, they could only use their heavy crossbows to shoot back aimlessly in the direction where the enemy's feathered arrows were flying.

The leader of this imperial ** crossbowman brigade is a bearded officer from the eastern region of the empire, named Karyus, who once participated in the last war, is a veteran marksman, and has also been trained by the famous imperial general Wilskai, who is good at commanding crossbowmen troops, has rich combat experience, commands his soldiers, he has faced many enemies on the battlefield, but never once will be like now, he can only be beaten and unable to fight back, which makes him angry.

"You fools, what are you doing on the road with stupid pestles! When you are a target? Use those wagons as cover! Karlius yelled, carefully hiding himself so as not to expose himself to the enemy's arrows, and commanding the helpless crossbowmen to respond correctly, "Don't shoot indiscriminately! Listen to my command and get ready for a salvo! Who dares to shoot indiscriminately again, be careful that Lao Tzu chops off his hands! ”

Thanks to his efforts, the soldiers with heavy crossbows finally came to their senses, and they ignored the scattered porters and began to connect the wagons together to form an improvised barrier, to everyone's relief, the enemy was not too far away from them, the angle of the projectile was not very high, and the direction of attack was only on the left side of the road, not on both sides.

The Crusaders armed with shields used their shields to form a shield wall to cover Karlius for their movements, which was very comforting to Karlius, everyone was very responsive, heroic and well-trained, and he also saw that the priests were already using all kinds of things at their disposal to cover themselves, like his crossbowmen, the halberdiers and some crusaders were covering them, and many priests had already begun to chant incantations, in such cases, the effect of magic was much greater than that of bows, Carlius knew that as soon as these priests made a move, the enemy archers would be in bad luck.

From the feathered arrows fired by the enemy, Karlius knew that the enemy was not the evil undead creatures, but the Tytarians, and he also discovered that the enemy's main target was not his crossbowmen, but the priests.

"It's those swamp monsters, damn it, these guys have the guts to attack us!" Karlius snorted viciously, he found that the enemy was using a round of fire, and the rain of arrows had not stopped since the beginning of the attack, "Didn't the intelligence say that they were short of equipment?" Where did they get all these arrows? Everyone, steady, ready, release! ”

At the sound of his command, the crossbowmen of the emperor finally launched a formal return fire, and the heavy crossbows began to fire in a volley, but still with little effect.

Amy, the lizardman archer, stood at the edge of the woods, using a tree as cover, pulled the longbow in his hand with force, and then shot his fourth arrow, the enemy's return fire with a heavy crossbow did not have any negative effect on him, a crossbow arrow flew out of nowhere and hit the tree in front of him, the strong force of the heavy crossbow made the crossbow arrow almost penetrate the trunk of the tree, fortunately, after using all his strength, the crossbow arrow finally stuck on the trunk, otherwise, this arrow would have to shoot Amy, who was only wearing a tattered leather armor, But in the face of this situation, Amy didn't even blink his eyes, and his hands were still very steady.

With each arrow, Amy would habitually stick out her tongue and lick her lips, and he could imagine what kind of panic the rain of arrows he had caused to the enemy, which made him smile a little in his eyes, and he carried two pots of arrows on his back, each with twenty-four, and his task today was to shoot all these arrows.

Amy can't remember how long it had been since she had shot an arrow so cheerfully and without scruples, whether it was four months, or five months.

He was originally a soldier of King Tetaria's ** team, the undead creatures invaded, in that battle to defend the royal city, his troops were scattered, he escaped, and after the fall of the kingdom, he joined the resistance organized by Edney, the witch of fire, to continue the fight against the invaders.

The life of the rebels was not easy, bows and arrows were even more scarce, more precisely, there was a lack of arrows, there was no arsenal, only relying on some small blacksmith workshops, the supply of iron arrows could not keep up with the consumption in the battle, many times, Amy had to recycle those intact arrows on the battlefield, or pick up the arrows and put them on new arrows, or even helplessly use wooden arrows that did not have arrows, but only sharpened the tops, and lacked lethality.

He can have the current two pots of arrows on his back, it is said that Lord Edney took a lot of effort to collect all the arrows from the various rebel armies, and then sent them down, and the archers who participated in the sneak attack this time were each given two pots of arrows, the purpose is to ensure that this operation can have strong enough long-range firepower, the quality of these arrows is uneven, and it is very difficult to use, but Amy is still very happy, he is not picky, some are good to use, as long as he can kill the enemy, he doesn't care what he uses, He said that as long as this battle is won, the problem of arrows will be solved, and at least for a certain period of time, he will no longer have to worry about the problem of not having enough arrows.

Shot a few more arrows, Amy saw that there seemed to be a flash of fire in the direction of the enemy, which made him even more emotional, the only one who could use fire magic to attack the enemy on his side could only be the powerful fire witch Lord Edney, what kind of power did Lord Edney's magic have Lizardman knew very well, he saw the enemy's charred corpse burned by magic flames more than once when cleaning the battlefield, and the same charred ground also showed how amazing the range of Lord Edney's magic attack was, thinking of this, Amy worked harder and harder, pulling the longbow in her hand to the extreme again and again.

Following Edney's fire magic, the magicians of the rebels began to wield, and they naturally took the lead before the priests of the emperor, all kinds of magic with the anger of the magicians of the swamp land, accurately fell on the top of the heads of the emperor's ** soldiers, and the light of different colors of various magic flashed in the mist from time to time, bringing a piece of screaming.

With mental calculation or unintentional, the magic power of the rebels has the upper hand in this confrontation that is not very large, and the first strike is a major advantage for the rebel magicians, and at the level of magicians, they also occupy a great advantage, because this time, the magicians of the rebels are all elites gathered from various rebel armies, including many master-level masters, and on the side of the emperor, because it is just an ordinary emperor** team, it is only an ordinary escort mission. Of course, it is impossible to equip them with too strong magical powers, and they are caught off guard and passive, and they are regarded as the key targets of attack by the rebels, and they soon suffer heavy casualties.

And the appearance of high-level fire magic made the emperor ** understand who his opponent was, there was only one magician who used fire magic in the swamp, and the fire witch Edney's daimyo emperor ** had also heard of it for a long time, which made the priests of the empire even more flustered, as magicians, they knew very well that there was no one who could compete with the fire witch in magic, because the strongest priest leader had been shot into a humanoid hedgehog in the enemy's first wave of arrow rain attacks, And even if he's still alive, it doesn't make much difference, and it seems that there are more powerful magicians on the enemy's side than the Fire Witch.

More and more priests fell in the road, their priestly robes could not provide them with much protection, and the hastily used magic shields quickly dissolved into pieces under the dense attacks of the enemy, and the cover provided by the other soldiers was useless in the face of the attacking magic.

The tragic situation of the priest troops made the heart of Karius, who had high hopes for them, start to sink, he clearly knew that without the support of magic, in such a gloomy environment, his soldiers could play a very limited role, but he did not despair, because they were emperors, and emperors, there were griffins.

As long as the griffons can find the location of the enemy, the situation will change, and their sharp claws will make these swamp people regret their audacity.

Karlius looked up at the sky expectantly, but soon realized that the griffons were too caught up in a bitter battle to take care of them.
