Chapter 021: Black Rhino
"Barson?"
There is a sense of magic, and in fact, before the other party gets closer, Sauron discovers it through a strategic perspective. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Barson, if judged by the eyes of the minotaur among the orcs, the shaman prince Barson is a very 'young and handsome' minotaur.
Even in the eyes of a human like Zoro, 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 Barson, you'll notice its most striking feature, a pair of large and ornate horns, which flank its oversized skull. In the eyes of the Minotaur, having a pair of large and gorgeous horns indicates that it has very strong melee capabilities.
Zoro prefers to be with Basson compared to the spicy, focused, and overly cautious sacrificial priesthood of Bucknar, and the cold, unspoken Minotaur chief Gerdard.
Barson 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 as a defeated subordinate of Zoro, Barson always smiled so boldly, as if there was no embarrassment in losing to Zoro.
"Honorable foreign lord, night is about to cover the land, heralding the arrival of a night of chaos and disorder. I am willing to offer a gift to redeem the glory I have lost in the arena. ”
Barson's words made Zoro's eyes light up instantly, and after listening to Barson's thoughts, at this time, Zoro's face seemed to be blown away by a gust of wind, and gradually became clearer.
……
It was late at night. Some of the people in the camp were asleep on the soft grass, and some were still talking and laughing.
Sauron summoned the chief diplomat Iliphona early, and the guard officer and commander Leon, and gave them the task of tonight.
"Ilevona, try your best to appease the human slaves, let those who have not rested rest early, and tell them that when we reach our territory, it will be human territory, and they are no longer slaves."
Explaining the task to Iliphona, Zoro turned his head to stare at Leon, "Leon, all 100 legionary infantry stood guard all night tonight, vigilant against the sneak attack of the raiders, and no accidents were allowed. ”
Until now, as long as Sauron said every word and every command given, Ilevonne would strictly demand that she fulfill it.
Otherwise, a woman who is in love has the simplest mind, even if it's just her wishful thinking.
Any woman likes to be close to the strong, not to mention that Sauron has grown into a handsome young commander with a mysterious background. In Ilivonna's eyes, the image of Zoro has become one with the 'Prince Charming' she fantasized about years ago. Although she didn't know that Sauron's actual age was only eleven or twelve.
After these days of getting along, Iliphona seems to have gone mad, and since returning to the Zablan continent, she has told herself more than once, "If there is anyone in this world who can match herself, he is Zoro!" ”
Ilevonne is a proud woman at heart, she has a good aristocratic education since she was a child, and she is proficient in all kinds of aristocratic power techniques, and she is such a woman, if she can conquer her heart, then the reward will be crazy.
Ilevonne has even wavered in her determination to return to the human city-state!
Even if she loses the 'Tears of Sorrow' and dedicates her virginity to Sauron, at this time, she is willing.
It's a pity that Zoro doesn't want to care about his life's affairs for the time being. If he takes advantage of the victory at this time, he may be able to get a virtuous helper who is desperate.
"Where are you going?"
Hearing Zoro's order, Ilevonne immediately understood what he meant.
At this time, she looked at Sauron with great concern, like a newly married wife.
Zoro nodded to Iliphona and Quintus, and said with a deep gaze, "Tonight, I'm going to raise a powerful cavalry army for the Dragon Court!" ”
……………………
The triangular black rhino is a herbivorous beast bred by the werewolves of the beast tribe.
According to Barson, the triangular black rhinoceros has a very large head shield and three horns. This makes Zoro easily associate with rhinoceros.
Although he had not seen the triangular black rhinoceros with his own eyes, he heard that the skin of these herbivorous beasts could not even pierce with sharp spears, so Zoro became interested.
Sauron's old rival, the Liclaw Tribe, as one of the three overlords of the Zabulan Plain alongside the Totem Tribe and the Money Tribe, it is absolutely impossible without strong military support.
Werewolves are not as powerful as the Minotaur in terms of physique, and they lose to the Leopard Man in terms of agility and speed.
However, the ace force of the werewolves, the heavy cavalry regiment with the triangular black rhino as the mount, is an existence that is difficult for other orc tribes to shake.
According to Barson, in order to sweep away the interference of the raiders, it is not far from here, and at this time of year, a group of werewolves are heavily ridden.
The scale is about 500 horses.
Werewolves are heavily ridden, and their collision and fighting power are extremely powerful existences. If it is changed to daylight, 500 minotaurs will ride against 500 werewolves, 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 eyesight at night.
As the so-called moon dark wind high murder night, the gift Barson said was these 500 triangular black rhinos.
Due to their inherently beastly nature, the Minotaur has a keen senses.
It is quite a difficult task to sneak in without alarming a minotaur.
Minotaurs are naturally capable of pathfinding, so it's almost 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 Barson's opinion, anyway, the shamanic sacrifice, that is, its father has agreed to Sauron's 'slave trade', the conflict between the totem tribe and the claw tribe is inevitable, and it is a good thing to remove this thorn in the eye in advance.
In addition, the Minotaur Chieftain Geldad, and the Golden Ring Totem Warrior Busad, all redeemed the glory lost in the arena to Sauron in their own way.
As a dignified shamanic prince, Barson has been thinking about this matter from the beginning.
"Five hundred triangular black rhinos, finally overpowering those two guys!" Basson secretly rejoiced that when he returned to the totem tribe, he could finally raise his bull head in front of the two minotaurs.
……………………
Today's moonlight is behind the horizon, like falling into the abyss of darkness. The night was dark, hazy, and psychedelic, and the earth seemed to be shrouded in a light veil.
A faint light set a lace on the tops of the trees that surrounded the high slopes. The sky was like a washed blue-black coarse cloth, and the stars seemed to be shimmering gold sprinkled on this coarse cloth. The silhouettes of these tree peaks, reflected in the shimmering light, appear darker and darker by the minute.
As time passed, it was as if boundless ink was heavily smeared on the sky, and gradually even the glimmer of the stars disappeared.
When Zoro and Barson led five hundred minotaur totem warriors to attack for almost three hours.
A hidden camp has come into view!
Zoro 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.
"Strategic Perspective!"
Sauron lay behind the high slope and opened a strategic perspective, enveloping the entire camp of werewolves.
There was not a trace of moonlight in the black night, but Barson could see an unusually bright light reflected in Sauron's pupils, much to his surprise.
"Foreign lord, let's go!"
Seeing that the battle was imminent, Barson's eyes were bloodshot with excitement, and without saying a word, he was about to rush down the hillside with the totem pole on his shoulder.
"Come back!"
Sauron's eyes were quick, and he grabbed Barson, but he couldn't help but be vigorously taken out. In a hurry, it was the Ring Spirit Angmar Witch King who hurriedly helped.
"Barson, I recognize you as a friend, but don't call me a foreign lord again. My name is Zoro! ”
Zoro dragged Barson to his side, pointed to several hidden places in the camp, and told it with a serious face, "In these places, there are werewolf sentry posts, and if you run like this, the other party will release cold arrows before you reach you." Don't you want to live? ”
Seeing Zoro's serious face, Barson scratched the bull's head with some embarrassment. "Hehe, Lord Zoro is too worried, a weak bow and arrow can't kill a powerful minotaur at all!"
Saying such big things, the Minotaur Barson has this capital.
Even if you remove the heavy armor on the minotaurs, the defense of their fur is very strong.
Those werewolves, who were extremely aggressive, did not dare to boast about how strong their defenses were in front of the minotaurs.
"Trust me, these werewolves are not simple! If I'm not mistaken, they don't hold any ordinary bows and arrows in their hands. ”
If Zoro is not mistaken, several werewolf sentry sentinels, in addition to being stronger and burlier than the average werewolf and wearing fine armor, they hold in their hands a sophisticated long-range weapon similar to a crossbow.
For crossbows, Sauron is no stranger at all, even in ancient China, crossbows are also a powerful long-range killing weapon, and the range of a strong 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.
Because it does not need to aim at the same time as the string is drawn, it is less demanding on the user and has a much longer reload time than a bow, but in general, a crossbow has a longer range, more lethality, and a higher hit rate than a bow.
Rushing down recklessly like Barson will be sifted by range in the blink of an eye.
Zoro observed that the shape and size of these crossbows were more like they were designed for the five fingers of a human, and the claws of werewolves were very unsuitable, so it can be judged from this that these crossbows were not made by werewolves, but more like they were made by human hands.
"Not only can you see the sentry, but you can also see the bow and arrow in their hand?"
Barson was completely shocked by Zoro's words.
On a night like this, where you can't even see the faces of your companions when you can't see your fingers at a moment's notice, in Barson's opinion, even the Harpie, who has the strongest eyesight among the orcs, can't 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, Zoro had insight into all the circumstances of these lizardmen. In Barson's eyes, this ability is already synonymous with mystery.
"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, Zoro's plan seemed more thoughtful. If he can not kill or injure a minotaur totem warrior, it is naturally something that Barson is happy to see.
……
The cold wind of the night filled the air, weaving a soft and solemn net, basically covering all the scenes.
Zolon's eyes were fixed on his target, his movements as light as a tanuki, swift and quiet, towards the camp below the hillside.
As an infiltrator and assassin. All Sauron could feel was the frequency of his heartbeat, and the beating arteries in the werewolf'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 close to the camp, Zoro made a gesture of action to the minotaur totem warrior who was following behind him.
The ringing spirits beside him immediately quickened their movements, their eyes staring directly at the werewolf's head, and pounced out like a predatory beast.
Before the werewolf whistle could warn, the Witch King of Angmar 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 vigilance of the werewolf sentry was not very high, and all six minotaur warriors had succeeded, and things were going better than Zoro expected.
After seeing the triangular black rhinoceros described by Barson, Zoro fell in love with these herbivorous beasts at a glance.
"Damn, except that the color looks like black charcoal, this is a veritable triceratops."
As long as modern people must know, Triceratops is a medium-sized four-legged dinosaur, one of the strongest herbivorous dinosaurs in the White Age, Triceratops generally has a very large head shield, and three solid bones grow out of the hideous horns.
Add to that a height of two meters, and enough tonnage, and once this thing charges, it's a tank!
However, the vision of the triangular black rhinoceros at night is indeed not flattering, Zoro 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 at this point, Zoro kicks down a torch stuck in a tree stump and tells Barson and the other Minotaur warriors that it's time to attack! (To be continued.) )
