Chapter 126: Night Battle
His small vertical pupils looked coldly at Xiao Yi and his party, and the steel fork in his hand glittered in the firelight. There was no conversation www.biquge.info the pen ~ fun ~ pavilion, and more and more naga swam out of the darkness and surrounded Xiao Yi and the others in the camp.
Suddenly, a naga charged at the crowd with a steel fork, and his actions were like a signal to attack, and all the nagas swarmed into the camp with all kinds of weapons.
......When the first Naga began to charge, the troll guards quickly revealed their spears, and then without stopping for a moment, they immediately burrowed into the gap reserved by the defenders and hid behind their shields.
Just after they hid in the shield array, there were several muffled sounds from the iron-clad shields in the hands of the defenders, and the three-headed steel forks that flashed with cold light were firmly nailed to them, and some of the steel forks even came out of the shield at the top, which shows the great power of these Naga!
"Enter!"
Enter!
Enter! ”
Goodak shouted with his shield raised, and with his order, the defenders took three steps forward in a row, holding the shield and facing the Naga in the charge, as if they were counter-charging, and instantly engaged the enemy.
Syllable!!!
The huge two-handed greatsword didn't even need to be wielded, just flat on top of the shield, allowing the Naga, who was still charging and had no time to brake, to crash into the blade.
Blood splattered, the crisp sound of the tip of the sword piercing into the body, and the skin could not resist the sharp blade in the slightest, and the experienced defenders took a step back in unison without even needing Goodk's order again.
Puff -
In just one step, the blade was drawn from the body of the first row of Naga, and the scattered blood could not affect the movements of the defenders in the slightest, and after they took a step back, they immediately exerted force under their feet, holding the shield on their heads, and the big sword was still flat on top of the shield, and slammed into the Naga who pounced on them!
"Change!"
Naga, who had just been stabbed in a string by the big sword, fell down on his stomach because of the big sword, and before the Naga in the back pounced again, Goodek roared, and the defenders of the first row retracted their shields, and quickly ran through the gap left by their companions behind them, and formed a formation again in the space reserved in the encirclement.
The defenders of the second row trotted all the way with their big shields and swords, and at the moment when Naga in the back had just filled the gap between their dead companions, the defenders' shield wall collided with them again.
The defenders' superior strength and sophisticated equipment knocked the unusually tall and hideous-looking Naga to the back of their horses, and these experienced warriors, when the enemy surrounded them, did not hold on to the formation, but instead expanded the range of the protective circle, leaving room for a steady stream of short-range charges.
Naga's roars, Goodek's calm commands, the crunch of swords entering his body, and the sound of trolls' javelins and attacks slicing through the air echoed far away in the otherwise silent night sky.
Instinctively go forward or retreat!
The rich experience of these veterans made the battle that Xiao Yi originally thought would be extremely difficult to fight, and as far as the eye could see, Xiao Yi saw no less than thirty or forty naga lying in a pool of blood, and the defenders were hardly injured except for some respite because of their heavy armor protection!
Seemingly tall and hideous, almost none of the Naga can make a move in front of these defenders!
In just a few rounds of fighting, the Naga, who was still menacing, retreated into the darkness again after leaving behind the corpses of the ground, leaving only a sound that showed that they had not left.
Several flaming torches were thrown out by the troll guards, who didn't care if they would cause a forest fire, and a few panicked naga ducked into the bushes as the torches flew.
"Lord Lord, we should break through immediately, there is no danger to defend here, once there are too many enemies, we are in danger." Keeping the defenders on guard, Goodek said angrily, ignoring the blood on his body, with his helmet urn on his head.
"Yes, sir! We should break through immediately, there are a lot of naga in the Nakmeni Holy Spring. Before Xiao Yi could speak, Merchant Hulk didn't know where to come out and said loudly.
Looking at the darkness around him, Xiao Yi was a little hesitant, he also knew that Naga had suffered a loss here, and he would definitely not give up, and the large Naga would soon arrive, and this camp was not safe at all except for a hillside with its back.
Human beings do not have the ability to see at night, and it is human instinct to be afraid of the dark, and Xiao Yi also feels apprehensive about marching in the dark, especially in the dense jungle. And Naga won't stop chasing because they give up the camp, if they are caught up by Naga on the march, Xiao Yi can only cast invincible Hearthstone again.
"Zulde, where is the ground high in here, or good for defense?" If you escape, you will definitely not be able to escape in the dark night, and judging from the behavior of these Nagas just now, they must have night vision, which is very disadvantageous for humans.
The only way now is to find a place on high ground, or easy to defend and difficult to attack, and wait for dawn. Once it is dawn, no matter how much Naga Xiao Yi is, he is not afraid.
The defenders are not early sentinels, let alone ordinary Naga warriors, even Naga mages who are also proficient in lightning arrows and water magic, they are not afraid. As the personal guards of the lord, in addition to the traditional system of their armor, the anti-magic runes that the dwarves cannot currently arm on a large scale have also been integrated into their armor, so this group of defenders is not afraid of magic.
If it weren't for the darkness outside the camp, the unknown number of enemies, and the fact that the defenders didn't know the surrounding terrain, these powerful and well-equipped warriors, after testing the reality of Naga, would probably take the initiative to attack and hunt down the hidden Naga as soon as possible!
Before Zurd could speak, Merchant Hulk immediately jumped up and said, "There is a hidden cave not far ahead, which can be used as a place for defense!" ”
Frowning, Xiao Yi didn't speak, and asked Zuerde again, "What races live here in this neighborhood?" ”
"Except for a few robbers and thieves, there are no people living here anymore." The helmet obscured Xiao Yi's face, making Hulk a little inched, and he kept yelling.
"Shut up this idiot!" Xiao Yi couldn't bear it anymore, and yelled at a troll beside him, and then said to Zurde: "You say! ”
"There are no strong enemies in this area, my lord, I also know that cave, it is the witch doctor's hut, and the witch doctor often stays here, which is a hidden place." Zulde nodded.
"I'm against going there!" As soon as Zurde's words fell, Goodk immediately objected: "Lord Lord, caves are the worst place to defend, they generally have no way to escape, if they are besieged by the enemy, it is easy to have nowhere to escape, and whether the enemy sets fire or smokes, it is easy for us to fall into passivity. ”
Goodak had a point, but Zulde immediately added, "There is a passage to the ruins of Abolaz, which can be reached directly through the mountains to the ruins of Abolaz, where there is no threat other than fishmen, as far as I know." ”
"Alright, let's go there!" Xiao Yi interrupted the argument between the two, if they were allowed to quarrel like this again, Naga's army would have arrived.
"Zuld leads the way, let your people do the reconnaissance!" The trolls have a certain ability to see at night, otherwise they wouldn't have been the first to identify Naga hiding in the shadows just now, and they are very familiar with the Valley of Thorns, so Xiao Yi asked them to be scouts, and then gave orders to the defenders.
"Set off quickly, throw more torches on the way, and make sure they don't follow!"
The terrain here is a road between the valleys, and it will be this kind of terrain for a long time in the future, it stands to reason that Xiao Yi and the others should not camp here, but the trolls think that this is close to the Valley of Thorns, except for some wild beasts, there is basically no danger, so they did not choose a safer camp.
The troll guards quickly rushed out under the leadership of Zuld, and after a short fight, Zulde came back with some blood on his body and said, "Lord Lord, we have expelled the Naga in front, you can go." ”
"Let's go!"
Xiao Yi let out a low sigh and stepped out of the camp under the escort of ten defenders, each of whom carried some torches and planted one at intervals until they left the area.
After Zuld arranges for a skull-splitting troll pad, he will be responsible for monitoring whether Naga is following him, as well as extinguishing the fire torches, covering up the traces of the people's walking, so that Naga's large army will lose everyone's information, and finally he will make a detour to the cave to meet.
---------------------------
The silent path was broken by heavy gasps and hurried footsteps, the light of the torches dispelled the darkness, and a group of people hurried on the road, it was Xiao Yi and the others.
"My lord, the merchant is still with us, do you need to drive us away?" The rapid march in heavy armor did not make Goodk breathless, he was still very vigilant, and from time to time he swept over the merchant Hulk who was following the team with a sharp look.
Xiao Yi glanced at Hulk, who was barely following the back of the line, and said, "When we reach our destination, give him a sword and let him continue walking." ”
Xiao Yi didn't be merciful this time, Naga is not a turtle like a jackal, their mage magic is very powerful, who knows if these Naga have set up any tracking magic on this merchant's body, otherwise how could those Naga still chase after him after he escaped, and finally affected his own group.
Zuld quickly followed from behind the group and whispered, "Lord Lord, those scattered Naga are coming up, do you need me to bring someone to kill them?" The cave is not far ahead. ”
When Xiao Yi heard this, he subconsciously stopped and looked back, but he didn't find anything: "Find a corner to ambush and kill them!" ”
