Chapter 259: Trickery
"Woo woo woo ......"
The terrible wolf howls came and went, and in the midst of this continuous wolf howl, the silver-backed wolf with saliva and a slight wolf snout rushed out of the forest on both sides of the road, and frantically pounced on the giant bear who was waiting for him.
There is no wolf king among these domesticated silverback wolves, or in other words, General Charlie, the leader of the wolf knights who is a hero, is their current wolf king. But among this wolf pack, there are still many head wolves whose status is only below the wolf king.
The lead wolves of these silverback wolves, who were two circles larger than the average silverback wolf, did not join the first wave of charge, and they were constantly using wolf howls to guide the wolves' attacks.
At the howl of the head wolf, the silverback wolves at the bottom of the pack pounced on their enemies without fear. However, most of these silverback wolves crashed headlong into the defensive line formed by the giant bears, and were immediately smashed into meat patties by the wide paws of the giant bears.
Even if a few silverbacks were able to break through the bear's defenses, they would be killed by the huntress who quickly caught up from behind.
Roger's troops have always advanced in a formation that can meet the enemy at any time.
Roger and Garon, who were at the front, were protected at the center by the high-ranking druids of the Eighth Order, while the Night Elf Shooters and Eagle Feather Druids in the middle were protected by the Bearclaw Druids on both wings, and the huntress riding the Shadow Panther at the back.
Just as the silverback wolves launched a surprise attack on Roger's troops, Roger, who had already discovered the silverback wolves ambushing in the forest, immediately ordered the whole army to prepare to meet them.
The Bearpaw Druids on both wings suddenly turned around in an emergency and let out a roar at the silverback wolves rushing from both sides of the troops.
In the midst of this roar. About eight layers of bear claw druids quickly rose in size, directly turning into a giant bear with brown fur. Then he calmly met the charging silverback wolves. A giant bear is often besieged by two or three silverback wolves and can quickly become scarred. By this time. The remaining bear-claw druids who have not yet transformed will quickly raise their hands and cast healing spells on the bears who are fighting on the front line.
With the support of healing spells, the giant bears have been able to stand tall under the surprise attack of the silverback wolves, and even launched a counterattack against the silverback wolves.
Although he is still only about the sixth order, Roger decided to train the Bearclaw Druids into the ace troops of the Emerald City as soon as he saw them.
Without him, the Bearpaw Druids, who can transform into powerful giant bears and cast nature-based healing spells on allies, are too bad.
Bearpaw druids in their bear form. It is quite a tough melee unit. Its strength is so strong that it can fight each other with the rock elements of the same level.
Of course, in front of the rock elements with regenerative powers, the long time of the battle, the giant bears will gradually fall to the upper hand. However, at this time, some of the bears can completely transform back into human form, and then quickly apply healing magic to their companions.
With the support of healing magic, the bears who have recovered quickly can continue to fight the rock elementals.
When training for the same number of Bearpaw Druids and Rock Elementals, the battle tends to take a long time. But in the end, it is usually the Bearpaw Druids with higher intelligence who will emerge victorious.
And in contrast to the regenerative powers of the rock elementals, which can only be used for themselves, the healing powers of the Bearpaw Druids are capable of healing all living individuals. So the Bearclaw Druids are obviously much more important than the rock elementals who can only be cannon fodder.
And now, it is under the protection of the Bearpaw Druids standing at the forefront that the Night Elf Shooters and Eagle Feather Druids in the center can safely attack the silverback wolves.
The Night Elf archers simply snapped a double shot. Although they shot faster and more accurately than their elven counterparts, they still didn't see anything outstanding.
The Eagle Feather Druids are different. The feathered cloaks, eagle-clad druids chanted strange magic spells before pointing at the incoming silverbacks. A powerful whirlwind suddenly rose to the ground, blowing some of the hapless silverback wolves up at the same time. It also cut off the continuous onslaught of the silverback wolves from the middle.
Compared to several other druid classes, the Eagle Feather Druids are a support class. The individual is not very strong, but it can use the whirlwind and elven fire to help allies better fight enemies.
For the unarmoured silverbacks, the Elven Fire of the Hawkfeather Druids may be of little use. However, for those heavily armored enemy troops, the Elven Fire, which weakens the enemy's armor, is a very powerful support for the Elven archers.
The bows and arrows used by the elven archers are of course the most suitable targets for attacking unarmored enemies. If the enemy is heavily armoured, the effectiveness of the bow and arrow will be greatly reduced.
Although there are classes such as the Demon Archer and the Phantom Archer that have force field arrows and armor-piercing arrow skills that ignore enemy armor, the largest number of elves in the elven race are still ordinary elven archers. If there is a class like the Eagle Feather Druid that can weaken the enemy's armor, the threat of the Elven Shooters can undoubtedly be increased by several notches.
Therefore, the potential of the Eagle Feather Druids should not be underestimated.
And between the Bearpaw Druids and the ranged troops is the Huntress troop of the original Royal High. These Night Elf warriors riding shadow leopards were very bored and watched the giant bears fighting with the silverback wolves with excitement on their faces, and their eyes were somewhat envious.
Occasionally, a silverback wolf has just broken through the defenses of the giant bears, and before he has time to rejoice, he will be rounded up by the huntress who are already eager to try.
A silverback wolf that is no more than a fifth-order can die under the full attack of six or seven huntresses, I really don't know if this silverback wolf should cry or laugh in the underworld.
Since it was promoted from the Moonblade Dancer unit, the melee weapon of the Huntress unit is still an extended version of the Moonblade. But in order to better pursue the enemy. Naturally, the Huntress unit needed a means of long-range attack. However, instead of using bows and arrows like their compatriots, the huntresses opted for a throwing weapon: the moon wheel.
The moon wheel is actually a throwing weapon that belongs to the ring class. With the exception of one side that serves as a handle, the other three parts have sharp blades. Slice enemies with high-speed spin after throwing.
After consulting with the dwarves, the huntress learned a special throwing technique that causes the thrown moon wheels to bounce between enemies, damaging up to three enemies at a time. Moreover, even if the attack misses, the huntress can drive the moon wheel back to the owner's hand through the qi magic crystal embedded in the moon ring, so each huntress only carries the three moon wheels on her body.
The chief of the huntress is none other than the brave and warlike Elidan. However, unlike Elidan, who often left her mount and ran away with a pair of moonblades to be the commander of the Moonblade Dancer Force, the huntress were very well-behaved. He has always obeyed Roger's arrangement, honestly patrolling around the Emerald City, and doing chores such as encircling thieves, bandits, and hunters of slave trappers all day long.
However, perhaps it is precisely because the huntresses are usually chasing down those lawbreakers that these huntress have developed the ability to track with one hand, and can judge the whereabouts of the enemy from the slightest clue.
And the constant patrol work also makes the huntress far more experienced than other troops. After the battle with Bishop Victor, these huntress have successfully advanced to the strength of the seventh order, which is now the strongest force on Roger's hands except for the high-level druids.
So the huntress is very sad to become a reserve team again. The only way to ease the battle spirit was to kill the silverback wolves who had crossed the defenses of the giant bears.
As the Night Elf Marksman, Eagle Feather Druids and High-level Druids who had adjusted their formations launched attacks on the Silverback Wolves one after another, the Silverback Wolves, who were originally pressing the Giant Bears, began to be defeated and retreated, making the Silverback Wolves who were originally sitting in the rear also began to join the battle.
Even so, the losses of the silverback wolves are still increasing.
But when the situation is good. Roger and Garon's faces became more and more solemn.
"Big brother! Let me take the huntress to the slaughter! I promise to be able to defeat these silverbacks in the shortest possible time! Garon said very seriously.
"Don't rush! I'm going to need your full play soon. Seeing that the number of silverback wolves was getting smaller and smaller, Roger's frowning brows did not relax: "This silverback wolf pack looks like a lot, but in fact, it is only more than four thousand. It simply can't be our opponent. But if I'm not mistaken, these silverbacks. I'm afraid it's the scout of that black-armored army! ”
"Isn't it? This is a wolf! Garon shouted in surprise, "There shouldn't be any druids in that black armor unit, right?" Even if the leader of the wolf cavalry, who is a heroic general, can receive the message from the silverback wolves, how do they communicate with these wolves? Could it be that they know wolf language? ”
"How is that possible?" Roger gave Garon a blank look. He was speechless and said, "There are very few druids settled in the Terran realm. Even if a druid joins the Terran realm, it will be difficult to gain the trust of the Terran heroes, so they certainly don't communicate with the silverbacks through the druids. ”
"But in addition to the druids, there are several classes that can communicate with beasts." Roger shook his head: "Summoners and Beast Clan's psychic warlocks are relatively rare, and the most likely one should be the Beast Tamer." ”
"Beast trainer?" Garon frowned, "The beast tamer who doesn't fit the druids the most?" ”
Unlike the druids, who saw animals as their companions, most of the tamers used tamed beasts as tools. Even if there were animal tamers who regarded the beast as their companions, they were only a minority. And the means by which the animal trainers tamed the beasts, in addition to feeding, was restraint and whipping. In the druids' opinion, this was enough reason for their hostility towards the beast trainers.
Encounters between druids and animal trainers usually don't end well.
"Well, if the Wild Wolf Principality can establish such a large-scale dire wolf army, there must be animal tamers who are proficient in wolf taming." Roger nodded, "Just like the knights of the Griffon Dynasty who are good at taming griffins, these people must have learned the art of taming beasts to some extent. ”
"Then, those wolf cavalrymen, do they also know how to tame wolves?" Garon asked, confused.
"Not necessarily, the wolf cavalry may also know some kind of special skill in horsemanship, like the dark cavalry in the dungeon." Roger spread his hands, "This information must be the highest level secret of the Wild Wolf Principality, and it is only in the hands of the Wild Wolf Grand Duke, so let's not guess here." ”
"But what does this have to do with you not letting me destroy these silverback wolves?" Garon had a bit of a spirit to break the casserole and ask Roger.
"Whether or not the other party obtains information from the silverback wolf through the beast tamer, if we can meet, the information they can obtain will definitely not be too complicated, at most, they will be able to know our number and location." Roger raised his head and searched the air, "On the other hand, I'm actually waiting for information from Huoke, Sayuri and Elsa!" Although this is a trap laid by them, it is also a good opportunity for us to encircle and suppress them! ”
"Aang!"
With a loud eagle chirp, the ever-white Xun Eagle flew into Roger's field of vision, and landed directly on Roger's shoulder.
It's Hawke's Eagle of Hawks!
At the same time, Sayuri and Aisha also appeared in front of Roger's eyes one after another.
"The enemy's marksman unit is not far from here, and it is estimated that it will only take ten minutes to reach here." Glancing at Elsa, Sayuri took the lead and said, "In this army, in addition to the two thousand fifth-order marksmen, there are also a thousand sixth-order heavy shield guards. ”
"I'm in a similar situation here." Aisha said quickly, although fast, her words were very clear, so that Roger and Garon could not hear clearly, "But in the army led by the heroic general of the heavy shield guard, in addition to a thousand sixth-order heavy shield guards, there are also a thousand crusader swordsmen!" ”
"The news from Huo Ke said that the enemy's wolf cavalry and heavy cavalry had also turned around, and the speed was amazingly fast." Garon looked at the note in his hand and said with some excitement, "But Huo Ke also said that he will do his best to stop the enemy and try to delay time for us." ”
"Good!" Roger slowly narrowed his eyes, "Then next, it's our turn to fight back!" (To be continued.) )
