Chapter Thirty-Nine: Sortie

Xiao Yi has always been very vigilant about the gnolls, and when Sharif swept away the gnolls around the City of Angels, Xiao Yi did not relax his surveillance of the surroundings. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

It's just that he didn't expect that the gnolls would dare to gather so many people to take revenge on him!

Although there are not many buildings in the humble villages, the endless number of tents indicates that the number of these miscellaneous items is huge, and the number found by the scouts alone is not less than a thousand! Of course, not all of these are fighters.

The scouts could see that the gnolls were divided into large congregations, and they distributed their food uniformly, with the stronger warriors giving priority to the larger quantity and better quality of food.

The distribution of accommodation is often also a more advantageous tent for the powerful individual to live. There is a more definite hierarchy than the gnolls tribes encountered before, and they also carry a lot of non-combatants, typical of primitive tribal fighting states.

So even though there were a lot of them, Xiao Yi still insisted that Sharif take all three hundred sentinels, as well as seventy crossbowmen, one hundred dire wolves, and a reserve army of five hundred people to take the initiative to attack!

Gnolls are very vindictive, as can be seen from this revenge. This time he wants to beat these ignorant creatures to the bottom and make them understand that the City of Angels is not the farms and caravans they used to bully!

At the same time, it is also to protect the farmland that has just been planted! Although the walls of the outer city of the Angel City still lack gates, it is enough to defend against the gnolls, a race that does not know how to build equipment. But in this way, the logging yard located outside the city, the farmland will be destroyed by them!

The lumber yard is okay, but as the basic guarantee of future rule, it is absolutely impossible for anyone to destroy these farmlands!

Therefore, Xiao Yi overrode the crowd and asked Sharif to go out of the city to meet the enemy and destroy the enemy outside the sphere of influence of the City of Angels! Even if it is to send out a reserve army that has not yet been trained by the garrison battalion!

These reservists were only equipped with uniform services, rudimentary spears, and basically no other equipment! Even items such as water bladders and shoes are brought by yourself!

Fortunately, the enemies are only gnolls, and the people of the original Stormwind Kingdom are not unfamiliar with and afraid of them, which makes the reserve army not too afraid of war, but there are some complaints about going out of the city to meet the enemy. After receiving the order, Sharif mobilized his men and immediately led his people to the tribe where the gnolls had gathered.

Sharif chose this place as a battlefield on a gnoll path, and as an excellent guard officer, his superb military qualities did not allow him to lead his army directly to the enemy.

Anyway, the meaning of my lord couldn't be clearer, to ensure that the enemy is brutally destroyed while protecting the property of the City of Angels from loss. Rather than travel long distances with troops and then attack an enemy that is not scarcely numerous, it is better to wait and relax.

--------------------------

"Sir! It has been discovered that the gnolls are heading in our direction! It is expected to enter the field of vision of our army in thirty minutes! "The scout's job is very good, this is a troll mercenary, his super stamina and specially equipped wolf make him a very good waiter, Xiao Yi finally absorbed him into the army!

"Very well, keep spying on them with your buddies!" Sharif was pleased with the troll's report, though the presence of aliens in the army disgusted the always upright chief of the guard.

But he had to sigh that this guy with green skin, huge fangs and a ridiculous nose was very easy to use after a little training! In particular, some of them are able to communicate with animals!

"Sentinel Legion, forward!"

Distrustful of the combat effectiveness of the poorly equipped reserves, Sharif placed them in the rear, guarding the hidden crossbowmen, and the three hundred elite sentinels were engaged head-on.

Although the enemy is sure to number more than 1,000 people, not all of them will fight! And the loose discipline and patchwork army made Sharif full of confidence in the sentinels!

The only thing that worried him was the other party's mage. At present, although the City of Angels has begun to research anti-demon equipment, it will not be able to be widely equipped until the garrison battalion is upgraded to the legion acropolis, and all the sentinels are redressed to become legion guards!

Fortunately, this time he has a small number of crossbowmen, and although the crossbowmen's heavy crossbows are a little short in range because they can't be thrown, they are more accurate and more powerful, enough to deal with those mages who are even more scarce!

"Restrain the dire wolf!" Sharif shouted!

This is the most powerful weapon he can inflict heavy damage on his enemies! For a long time, the Templars, which were biased towards heavy troops, were very lacking in mobility in the early stage! Although the mysterious griffin is very powerful, its scarce production is a great headache for the generals.

Until the Principality of Evil Wolf trained this huge wolf dog! With high yields and low input resources, it is usually more docile and better fed than griffins. In wartime, the trait of being able to charge fearlessly after obtaining an order was immediately loved by all countries!

Sharif firmly believes that even if the guards do not invest in the reserves, the sentinels can easily defeat the enemy, but it is unrealistic to let the slow-moving sentinels chase the enemy, especially since the enemy is still a race that is good at running!

So after defeating the enemy again, the role of the dire wolves is reflected! Their size and fierce personality make it easy to hunt enemies! As the offspring of wolves, they are also good at group cooperation and long-distance running! There's nothing better to use than a rout enemy!

"The enemy is coming!" The scout's voice could be heard in the distance.

There was no need for their report, and there were already traces of the enemy on the horizon in the distance, and all the teams began to act under the reprimand of the commander.

Sharif's face is not good-looking! He found out that the enemy actually had cavalry! Riding a cavalry that is slightly smaller than the Dire Wolf! Although there were only twenty or thirty horsemen in total, Sharif could clearly see the arrows thrown from the hands of these cavalrymen, rangers!

This is the most annoying class of the slow Templars in the early stage! This kind of cavalry that can throw arrows is very annoying to humans who are good at using the phalanx, maybe they can't break through the front defense of the phalanx, but when the phalanx is facing the enemy, the flank harassment makes the soldiers unguardable!

And the short range of the crossbowmen is too good for these swift cavalrymen!

"How can there be Rangers! Tell me! Scout! As soon as he pulled the troll scout captain off his mount, the enraged Sherif almost slammed his face into the troll's ridiculously big nose and roared.

"Long ...... Sir, they didn't make a move on the march, so I didn't spot it, I'm sorry! The troll, stunned by Sharif's rage, stammered in reply, ignoring the still trembling feathered arrows on his body.

Throwing the troll at the wolf who was yelling at him for his loyalty, Sharif shouted, "Let the dire wolf banish these bastards!" As long as it doesn't disturb our phalanx! Conserve your stamina! ”
