Chapter 010: Sneak Attack on the Lizardman
"Regg?"
Cicero spotted it before the other party could get closer. In fact, if judged by the eyes of an orc, Reg is a very 'young and handsome' minotaur.
It is covered with very thick, healthy hair, and the length, color, and pattern of the hair are particularly eye-catching.
Despite the fact that the Minotaur looks like a cross between a human and a bull, it looks ugly in the eyes of humans.
But the first time you see Reg, you'll notice its most striking feature, a pair of large and ornate horns, which flank its overly wide skull. In the eyes of the Minotaur, having a pair of large and gorgeous horns indicates an extraordinary noble bloodline.
Reg is even more full of a passion peculiar to young people, and the most commendable thing is that he is also a very sincere and bold Minotaur.
Even if he was defeated as a subordinate of the King of Lorcadan, Reg didn't care, as if there was no shame in losing to a god.
"Lord Cicero, the night is about to cover the land, heralding the arrival of a night of chaos and disorder. Bring your soldiers with me, and I, Regg, am willing to offer a gift to redeem the glory I have lost in the arena. ”
Reg's words made Cicero's eyes light up instantly, a gift to His Majesty the King has never been as simple as it sounds.
Although he still didn't understand the purpose of Regg's appearance here, as Reg slowly explained, at this time, Cicero's face seemed to be blown away by a gust of wind, and gradually became clearer.
……
It was late at night. The people in the camp. Some were asleep on the soft grass, and some were still talking and laughing.
Cicero had sent 300 Radiant Swordsmen early and gave them their tasks for tonight.
"Leave a squad. Try to reassure those people as much as possible, let those who have not rested rest early, and tell them that the kingdom of Lol Cardan is the territory of mankind and that they are no longer slaves. ”
"The others come with me."
As long as Cicero said every word and gave every order, the soldier would strictly demand that he fulfill it.
Triangle black rhino. A herbivorous beast bred by the Red Rock tribe.
According to Regg, the triangular black rhinoceros has a very large head shield and three horns. This makes it easy for Cicero to associate the specific image of this creature.
Although I haven't seen the triangular black rhino with my own eyes. But when he heard that the skin of these herbivorous beasts could not be pierced by even sharp spears, Cicero became interested.
The lizardmen are not as powerful as the minotaurs in terms of physique, and they lose to the leopard people in terms of agility and speed.
But the lizardmen's ace troops. A heavy cavalry regiment mounted on a triangular black rhino. But it is an existence that is difficult for other orc tribes to shake.
According to Regg, it's not been a day or two since the Minotaur has taken a fancy to these mounts, and not far from here, there happens to be a group of lizardmen riding heavily on them.
The scale is about 500 horses.
Lizardmen are heavily ridden, and their collision and fighting power are extremely powerful existences. If it is changed to daylight, two hundred or so minotaurs will ride five hundred lizardmen, and there is basically no chance of winning. But if you change the night......
The triangular black rhinoceros, a herbivorous beast of prey, has a fatal flaw. That is, extremely poor vision at night.
As the so-called moon dark wind high murder night, Regg said the gift. It's these five hundred triangular black rhinos. He is to divide these mounts equally with the kingdom of Lorkadan.
Due to their inherently beastly nature, the Minotaur has a keen senses.
Minotaurs are naturally possessed with great pathfinding abilities, making it nearly impossible for them to get lost, and these race-specific skills make minotaurs deadly and highly effective hunters. And it completely compensates for its lack of stealth ability.
Five hundred minotaur totem warriors used the night to sneak attack this group of blind knights, which can be said to be effortless.
In Regg's opinion, he had agreed to the 'slave trade' with humans anyway, and everyone had become secretly friends.
Since the Orcs invaded the human world, the distribution of interests and land has exposed the contradictions within the Orcs on the table. Fighting is inevitable, and the conflict between the Totem Tribe and the Chishi Tribe will come sooner or later, and it is a good thing to remove this thorn in the eye in advance.
Coupled with Cicero's assistance, Regg's Minotaur Warrior Gerdard, and the Golden Ring Totem Warrior Renham, it has been thinking about this since the morning.
Today's moonlight is behind the horizon, like falling into the abyss of darkness.
Cicero and Basen, led 260 Radiant Swordsmen and 200 or so Minotaurs, a total of 500 men, ran for about three hours.
A hidden camp has come into view!
Cicero had to sigh, the Minotaur's powerful tracking ability was truly second to none! Even without the speed and agility of the Leopard People, they are deadly yet efficient hunters.
"Radiant Swordsmen, all around!"
Cicero lay behind the high slope, ordered his soldiers, and quietly surrounded the entire camp of the lizardmen.
There was not a trace of moonlight in the black night, but Reg could see an unusually bright light reflected in Cicero's pupils, which surprised him.
"Lord Cicero, let's get started!"
Seeing that the battle was imminent, Regg's eyes were bloodshot with excitement, and without saying a word, he was about to rush down the hill with the totem pole on his shoulder.
"Come back!"
Cicero was quick and grabbed Reg, but he couldn't help but be taken out vigorously. In a hurry, Cicero hurriedly used both hands to catch the other party back!
"Rege, don't be impulsive!"
Cicero dragged Reg to his side, pointed to several hidden places in the camp, and told it with a serious face, "There are lizardmen's secret sentinels in these places, and if you run like this, before you reach you, the other party will release cold arrows." Don't you want to live? ”
Seeing Cicero's serious face, Reg scratched the bull's head with some embarrassment. "Hehe, Your Excellency Cicero is too worried. A weak bow and arrow can't kill a mighty minotaur at all! ”
Saying such a big thing, the Minotaur has this capital.
Even if you remove the heavy armor on the minotaurs, the defense of their fur is very strong.
Those extremely aggressive werewolves. In front of the minotaurs, they did not dare to boast about how strong their defenses were.
"Trust me, these lizardmen are not simple! If I'm not mistaken, they don't hold any ordinary bows and arrows in their hands. ”
If Cicero was not mistaken, several of the lizardmen exposed to his eyes were armed with a sophisticated long-range weapon similar to a crossbow, in addition to being physically stronger than the average lizardman and wearing fine armor.
This crossbow is a human thing. Cicero is no stranger to it, the strongest crossbow made by humans, is a powerful weapon of long-range destruction. The range of the crossbow can reach up to six hundred meters!
From this, it can be seen that a crossbow is a bow that shoots arrows with mechanical force.
Since there is no need to aim at the same time as the string is drawn, the requirements for the user are also relatively low, and the reload time is much longer than that of a bow. However, in general, crossbows have a longer range and are more lethal than bows. And the hit rate is higher.
Rushing down recklessly like Reg will be sifted by range in the blink of an eye. A fourth-order profession does not equal invulnerability.
Cicero could not be wrong. The shape and size of these crossbows are more like the five fingers of a human, while the lizardman only has three fingers, and it can be judged from this that these crossbows are not made by the lizardmen, but are definitely made by humans.
"You can see the arrows in their hands?"
Reg was completely shocked by Cicero's words.
On a night like this, you can't even see your companion's face when you are a little apart. In Reg's opinion, even the harpy with the strongest eyesight among the orcs. It is impossible to have such good eyesight.
Or it can be said that this seems to have nothing to do with the naked eye.
Before the battle even began, Cicero had an insight into all the circumstances of these lizardmen. In Reg's eyes, this ability is already synonymous with mystery. And Cicero Yu Oh naturally wouldn't tell him that his every move now was under the observation of the great glorious god. Including all the operational commands, they have been completely taken over by Yang Jiangong, who is thousands of miles away and holding the crystal ball of true knowledge.
"I'll take a few people down and pull out those sentry posts. When I give out the signal, you can take someone down and finish them off together. ”
What else could I say, Cicero's plan seemed more thoughtful. If he can not kill or injure a Minotaur Totem Warrior, it is naturally something that Reg Lede has seen.
……
The cold wind of the night filled the air, weaving a soft and solemn net, basically covering all the scenes.
Cicero's eyes were fixed on his target, his movements as light as a tanuki, and he quickly and quietly approached the camp below the hillside.
As an infiltrator and assassin. Cicero felt only the frequency of his heartbeat, and the beating arteries in the lizardman's neck.
In this brief moment, every grass and tree is not as realistic as it is in the daytime, they all have vague and ethereal colors, each of which hides its subtleties and keeps its secrets, making people feel a sense of bloodthirsty emptiness.
When he was less than ten meters closer to the camp, Cicero made a gesture of action to the minotaur totem warrior who was following behind him.
Then he sped up his movements, his eyes fixed on the lizardman's head, and pounced like a predatory beast.
Before the lizardman whistle could warn, Cicero sealed its mouth firmly, and then a cold light flashed, leaving only the faint sound of blood spraying.
There was a slight sound of corpses falling to the ground at the same time.
The lizardmen were not very vigilant, and the six minotaur warriors were all successful, and things were going better than Cicero had expected.
Looking at the triangular black rhinoceros described by Regg, Cicero fell in love with these herbivorous beasts at a glance.
"Hell, except that the color is like black charcoal, this is simply a veritable triangular beast."
The hideous horns grown from three solid bones, coupled with a height of two meters, and enough tonnage, once this thing charges, it is simply unstoppable!
However, the vision of the triangular black rhinoceros at night is indeed not flattering, Cicero entered the camp with six minotaurs, these things can only smell, three or five huddled together, with sharp horns to form a simple defensive circle, none of them attacked!
Remove all the sentry posts, and Cicero kicks down a torch stuck in a stump, telling Reg and the other Minotaurs that it's time to attack!
More than 200 mighty Minotaur totem warriors in heavy armor rushed down from the high hillside to attack more than 500 lizardmen elites who were mostly still asleep.
From the moment the head of the first lizardfolk elite rolled to the ground, the battle was basically a foregone conclusion.
See the fierce battles in which the figures are intertwined, and smell the bloody smell of hand-to-hand combat. Suddenly, although the strength of the Lizardman Elite Knight is not bad, it is still not an opponent of the Minotaur. Not to mention that there are 300 Radiant Swordsmen waiting for an opportunity around.
In order to prevent the Totem Tribe's attack on the Baby Knights of the Lizardmen from being exposed prematurely, Reg negotiated with Cicero that not a single Lizardman could escape.
However, the order of the glorious god, Yang Jiangong, the king of Lorkadan, was, "Let go of the living mouth and provoke the conflict between the Chishi tribe and the totem tribe." ”
Cicero naturally complied, and at the same time he had to find a way to control the rioting triangular black rhinoceros.
The Minotaur Totem Warrior can desperately smash the lizardmen into a pulp and leave nothing else, but Cicero really can't.
You know, every triangular black rhino is a treasure worth a thousand gold, and he must make sure that these trophies are intact.
The bloodshed and violence of war are vividly manifested at this moment.
Cicero weaves through the lizardman camp, screeching blades and angry shouts of the Minotaurs...... He saw the blood of the lizardmen's elite and saw a pair of eyes that would not blink until death.
Whether it was a minotaur or a lizardman who fell to the ground next to him, Cicero didn't care.
When the sky in the distance showed the whiteness of the fish's belly, and the sky was slightly bright, the one-sided slaughter was declared over.
As the trump card of the Chishi tribe, the triangular black rhinoceros lost five hundred heads at one time, which was a heavy loss even for the entire Chishi tribe.
"Sissir Cicero, I've found something here."
Hearing Reg's voice, Cicero stepped into the animal skin tent in front of him for the first time, but he didn't want to step into the tent at the moment when a dazzling light appeared, and a whole five boxes of gold coins appeared in his eyes.
"This ......" Cicero leaned down and grabbed a handful of gold coins, his eyes showing a hint of puzzlement.
Why do lizardmen have so much gold? What do they want to do with these gold coins?
Cicero reversed a gold coin in his hand, engraved with the head of a human pioneer on the obverse, and a tall and lavish castle building on the reverse. "This is King Wesley's gold coin of Camelot." (To be continued......)
