Act 17: The Battle for the Lumberyard (Part 2, Asking for Support)

"You haven't seen a creature like that, it's about two meters tall when it stands upright, it's covered in fur, but it's said to have some sort of kinship with goblins on the surface. However, compared to their weak but numerous distant relatives, this one is an outlier, and they are strong enough to rival the strength of a human adult in even a newborn cub in the bear goblin community. Brando recounted slowly, "If there are bear goblins with large shields and flail for cover, it will be quite tricky for the cavemen to dig tunnels underneath—"

He paused, and then changed his words, "But most cavemen live in symbiosis with bear goblins, and it is unknown if there are bear goblins in this lumber yard. ”

Everyone was stunned, and their eyes fell back to the lumberyard on the other side of the river. The wooden gate creaked up again, and at first a troop of cavemen came out of it, and then a string of heavy footsteps—followed by three hulking creatures—huge creatures with a large shield in one hand and a rattling flail in the other.

Bear goblins.

Although most of the people present had never seen similar creatures before, they recognized the new monsters according to Brando's previous descriptions: more than two meters tall, covered in long brown hair, with a head curled up on broad shoulders, and a shield in one hand and a flail in the other, almost identical to the young man's description.

Everyone couldn't help but look at the young lord with a look of admiration.

Juta was silent, and she glanced at the young lord meaningfully, as if trying to find something different in him.

"I've seen this thing," Fern stared at the group of monsters that were crossing the river, and suddenly said, "We dealt with it once in Karasu, and this thing couldn't get close to a dozen or so soldiers," his dark face changed color for the first time, "My lord, are you sure this thing is also a first-class formation?" ”

Brando nodded, "The classification of the army was first set by the four major temples, and it was based on more than just the combat effectiveness of individual soldiers. If it weren't for the fact that the cavemen were the foundation of the foundation in the army of Qiaogang Digen, and the bear goblins who had been fighting side by side with them had formed a set of fixed tactics, I am afraid that these stupid big men would not have been able to be classified into the first-class establishment so far. ”

Fern nodded, silent.

At this time, the caveman and the three-headed bear goblin were wading through the middle of the riverbank, and although the caveman at the edge of the forest retreated far away, they still surrounded Ma Feili and the other four. There was an eerie silence on the river beach for a while, and the invisible scales swayed on the battlefield.

The cavemen launched a second attack, but they immediately sensed something was wrong.

The two crossbowmen on the earth and stone bunker threw away their heavy crossbows at this point, and then untied their swords from behind their backs—they were two glittering silver swords, with two rows of strange patterns painted on their blades, glittering in the sun.

One of the "magic sword" mercenaries shouted.

The magic sword here is not a low-level alchemy commodity that most people can get their hands on, but a veritable magic sword - at least a bronze level or higher magic item, with a creation that can change the balance of power between the wielder and the opponent to a certain extent.

"Whose man is that?" The eyes of the mercenary captains of all sizes were all focused on Juta, Fern and Clensia, and in their opinion, only these three Grand Masters present could come up with such a luxurious lineup.

But the three Grand Masters were equally puzzled, and though they had the same thoughts, it was not their man at all.

But if one moment is just surprise, the next moment is to hold your breath. I saw two snow-white sword lights flashing on the earth and stone bunker, and the two cavemen who jumped onto the city wall were cut into two pieces by * net landing. This is already the strength of the Black Iron Peak close to the Silver Rank, and among the many mercenaries present, only the three Grand Masters have this level.

"Who's that?" Juta finally turned around and asked, "Clensia, your people?" ”

Unfortunately, Clenthia didn't have the heart to answer his words at this moment, and his face finally changed when he saw the two swords, and he looked back at Brando, which he had already recognized, and it was the holy sword used by the two angels who followed Brando's left and right that night. Only then did he understand why Fern would be relieved to send his most powerful wizard as bait, with two silver-level strength warriors to protect him, what else was there to worry about?

But the middle-aged mercenary leader's cognition obviously couldn't replace the others, and not everyone present recognized the two swords, so for a while, there was only a quiet inhalation in the woods.

Brando didn't answer, but in his gaze, the frustrated cavemen moved out of the way, and the first bear goblin who came ashore from behind suddenly strode up. They whirred the flail in their hands, then slammed into the magically shaped castle with a slam of hammer.

There was a loud bang, it was the sound of earth and stone cracking, and the earth and stone castle suddenly fell apart. And everyone saw that the two crossbowmen, who were pretending to be pigs and eating tigers, suddenly jumped high, one grabbed the wizard, the other grabbed the warrior, and then rolled backwards to the ground.

The caveman let out a scream of excitement, as if ready to attack.

But it's precisely this time. With a sharp whistle, a team of more than fifty cavalry suddenly came out of the forest, and everyone subconsciously turned around, and Fern and Juta saw that the leading rider was the tiger sparrow. It's Lubis' mercenaries and a few unknown small mercenary groups.

"My lord, who are you?" Seeing this strange soldier Fern suddenly had an epiphany, Brando wanted to use the refueling tactic to attract the main force of the cavemen - if too many troops were invested at the beginning, it might cause the other party to be alerted; But if you increase the number of troops a little bit, it may have the miraculous effect of boiling a frog in warm water

"It's the Tiger Sparrow's way of doing it." Brando stared in the direction of the river beach, his eyes shining.

"The point is that these cavemen are reluctant to give up the bear goblins and their companions that have already been sent, and the inhabitants of the underground tend to have this weakness when planning their tactics." The young man smiled: "Actually, it's not just NPCs, even players occasionally make such mistakes, so it's natural to get used to it." After all, Qiaogendigang's population resources are too expensive......"

In fact, as soon as Tiger Sparrow mentioned the idea to him, he knew that it would succeed, because it was so ingenious that it could be said to be no different from the psychology of the inhabitants of the underworld in the past, so much so that he watched the two holy archangels under his control and their 'companions' rise from the ground and cheer there at the command of his heart, as if he had really suddenly seen reinforcements. I couldn't help but feel a little funny for a while, wondering if I was too obscene.

"NPC, player?" Fern asked.

Brando coughed and replied, "Look ahead." ”

The three Grand Masters turned their heads in unison, and the door to the lumberyard creaked up again. But this time it wasn't one door, but three doors in the east, west, south, south—everyone saw a steady stream of cavemen pouring out of thin air from behind the tall wooden fence as if there was no end to it, and Clenthia almost gasped for air - these alone were more than two hundred, and it seemed that his previous prediction was not half a bit.

This means that there may be more than 300 cavemen in this camp, and Martha is on top, how can this be fought? It's one thing to be able to lure them out, but now it seems that even if the other party gives up the location, it doesn't seem like they can eat it in one bite.

He couldn't help but look at Brando with a pale face.

But Brando watched in silence as the black pressed a group of cavemen wading across the river - their goal was clearly to save his own troops before the human cavalry could join up with their companions.

In terms of speed, they do have this advantage.

But it was at this moment that Brando was waiting, he didn't care about the somewhat ugly faces of the three Grand Masters, he just raised his hand silently: "Crossbow." ”

Everyone was stunned, looking at the black troglodyte on the scene and the bear goblin following behind, they really lacked the courage to fight. And even at this time, half of the enemy is still on the river beach, is it too early to prepare for the arrows at this moment? But no one dared to disobey a lord's orders—whether or not the lord lived up to his name here—at least Brando's status as a nobleman and his own strength were enough for the three Grand Masters present to acquiesce to this.

And the three largest mercenary groups did not disagree, and the others certainly did not dare to express different opinions. Besides, the bait was still at the edge of the forest, and they couldn't let their companions go.

The mercenaries unhooked their crossbows one after another, pulled back the crumble, and began to wind up. Because the opponent was a caveman with an abnormal sense of hearing, everyone had to slow down their hands and feet, and tighten the bowstring bit by bit. A crossbow was silently erected, and the sound of rustling sounded in the forest, as if a breeze was caressing the treetops.

"Flatten." Brando, seeing the last man on the bowstring, immediately lowered his voice and ordered.

At this moment, the time was just right, and at this time, the goblins and cavemen were wading ashore on the water—because they had slowed down, this precise prediction order surprised almost every regiment commander present; Crenthia even looked back at Brando in surprise, he was thoughtful, he was the most perceptive of the three Grand Masters, but he didn't expect Brando to know this about his mercenaries.

You know, they've never given command of their mercenaries to this young man.

On what basis did he guess?

However, Brando smiled secretly in his heart, the strength of the mercenaries in Eruin is generally about the same, and the habit of twisting strings is not much different. The scene just now was just a confirmation of his experience in the past game, and it was not the first time he had made such a prediction.

Not to mention bear goblins and cavemen, even the faster wind elf cavalry, he can also let these mercenaries get ahead of the curve.

And at this moment, every mercenary, including the wizard, has leveled the heavy crossbow in his hand - or at least a crossbow - or at least a crossbow. No mercenary doesn't have a ranged weapon, and even if they don't have an easy-to-use crossbow, at least they'll have a bow or musket.

Each crossbow was aimed at its own target, but the tide of enemies was a little skeptical of how effective this strike would be.

Everyone couldn't help but think that the young lord had said that it was just a warm-up?

The question is is there such a warm-up?

Brando didn't answer, he waited two seconds, then snapped his fingers.

"Put"

(PS. I finally crossed the obstacles, so let's give some support. Kavin's life was so miserable, he didn't have the energy to do anything.)
