Chapter Ninety-Five: Killing the Trolls
The army of four thousand blood elves marched from the south gate of the camp, followed the foot of Yang Scar Peak, and marched towards the Sun Temple by the same road.
According to Xie Feng's original prediction, it would take at least two days to repel or even wipe out the Scourge Legion besieging the Far Wanderer's camp. Not to mention the number of casualties, even the wounded soldiers who were treated by Chrissy after being wounded, and it took a day of rest to get on the road again.
It will take about the same amount of time for Ekirsson to return to Zuaman to mobilize enough troops to return again, so it is likely that the two sides will meet in a narrow way, and it will definitely be a fierce battle at that time. If you want to avoid it, you can only go out of the north gate and bypass the north of Yangji Peak.
But now that the Blood Elves had moved two days in advance, Ekirsson simply didn't have enough time to mobilize his army, and the road should be very safe. If Ekilsson hadn't returned to Zuaman, but had gathered ordinary forest trolls nearby, he wouldn't have been the opponent of the blood elves at all, so Xie Feng would never have let go of this opportunity, at least let the trolls shed their skin!
Therefore, he walked directly through the south gate without any scruples, and returned to the Sun Temple from under the noses of the trolls.
Although I am confident that nothing will go wrong, I still need to be on the right footing. An elite group of rangers led by Grannis and Keller's team of Stalkers are sent out as scouts to find their way in front of the army.
After walking for about five or six hours, nothing happened on the road, and although the scouts came back from time to time to report the situation to Xie Feng, they were all routine reports, and they didn't find any traces of trolls at all.
By this time, we had already walked about two-thirds of the way, and we would reach the Temple of the Sun in about three hours. Xie Feng and the others were also in a much better mood, chatting about the current situation while walking with a relaxed face.
At this moment, a ranger scout came over to report to Xie Feng and the others, and at first everyone didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that it was still a routine report. So far, I haven't found any enemy situation, so there should be no problem.
However, the words spoken by the ranger made everyone on the scene change color:
'Your Excellency! Discover a large number of troll tracks! ‘
Xie Feng asked urgently: 'Where did you find it?' ‘
'The position of our army in front of the left, judging by its marching direction, should be ~~ Sun Temple! ‘
'How many are there?' ‘
About three or four thousand. Judging from the traces they left behind, the footprints are scattered, and they should not be regular troops. ‘
'When did the traces?' ‘
'This morning!!!! ‘
Xie Feng frowned and waved his hand: 'Explore again! ‘
'Yes! ‘
When the Ranger Scout leaves, everyone looks at each other.
Herios frowned and pondered: 'It should be Ekirsund!' After being defeated by you, he didn't return to Zu Aman at all, but gathered warriors from nearby small and medium-sized troll tribes and villages on the spot, hoping to take advantage of the gap to attack the Sun Temple! ‘
Xie Feng said in a cold sweat, "Everyone in the Sun Temple was taken by me to the Far Wanderer Camp, and there was no one there. If the trolls don't get revenge there~~~'
'Taquelin!!' ‘
Both of them shouted at the same time.
There are now less than 2,000 of Taquilin's motley coalition forces, and many of them are undisciplined players. If you are attacked by thousands of trolls~~ the consequences are unimaginable!
Realizing the seriousness of the situation, the two immediately ordered to march at full speed, and Herrios once again sent a team of Far Wanderer Ranger to investigate, and the scouts' alert range was also doubled outward!
Then Herios temporarily handed over the command of the Far Travelers to Xie Feng, turned over and dismounted, and walked to the Blood Knights with several officers around him.
When everyone was in place, Herrios raised his bow and shouted: 'Leopard guard!' ‘
Streams of white light spread out from beneath the Ranger officers, enveloping all the Blood Knights. The rangers of the Far Wanderer unit are not strong enough to use cheetah guards, and the officers are each turned on the leopard group guard according to their abilities, and they speed up their progress with non-ranger classes.
This method was the usual method used by the Silver Moon Rangers when they were chasing after them in the past, and the Far Travelers were also familiar with it, and they tacitly enveloped the entire army, and the speed of advance suddenly increased greatly!
After walking for more than an hour, the Temple of the Sun was already in sight.
The scouts ahead had already detected the Sun Temple, and there were no enemies nearby.
Xie Feng approached with the army without any scruples, and after letting the soldiers wait in formation outside, he led the officers straight to the side hall where Terri had been frozen.
When I saw the situation in the hall, all the blood elves present were stunned!
Most of the ice that covered the side hall was still there, but there was a large hole in the doorway, and the corpses of the warriors inside were as messy as the slaughterhouse of the Scourge Legion.
The sharp edges of the broken ice prove that the ice was directly smashed open, and looking at the distribution of the cracks on the remaining ice, it is obvious that it was broken with one blow. Who else can easily shatter the magic ice under Tyri's all-out spell but Ekilsun?
Xie Feng clenched his fists and stared at the tragic situation in the side hall with murderous anger without saying a word.
The reason why he didn't collect the bodies of these soldiers on the spot was because of the urgency of time, but because he felt guilty about these soldiers and wanted to bring their bodies back to Silvermoon City for burial~
The magic ice cast by the blue dragon may not be able to be broken by ordinary ninth-order powerhouses, but who knows that it will lead to the sacrifice of Ekilsson, a troll who can directly borrow the divine power of the eagle god~~
Xie Feng's chest was violently agitated dozens of times like a bellows, and then he tried his best to suppress the grief and anger in his heart, and slowly turned to Chrissy and said:
'Cremation! ‘
Chrissy nodded slowly, summoning a giant ball of lava fireball to incinerate the side hall. After a while, the entire side hall and the corpses of the warriors have all disappeared, and some tender green buds poke their heads out of the still burning flames, slowly grow, and bloom bright red flowers~~~
Xie Feng looked up at the sky and swore slowly but firmly~'I will bring Ekilsson's head here and give it to you for burial!' ‘
After speaking, he turned around and strode towards the army waiting outside, and everyone followed him without saying a word~~
When the officers returned, the soldiers were aware of the situation in the Temple of the Sun, and they all clenched their weapons and stood there murderously.
Xie Feng returned, expressionless, and ordered the army to advance towards Taquilin.
Before they could go far, the scouts who were scouting ahead came back and reported:
'Your Excellency! A thousand-strong army of trolls is approaching us ahead! ‘
Xie Feng was stunned for a moment, and then ordered with a murderous face: "The Blood Knight slows down, and the Far Wanderer Ranger presses up from both wings to surround the enemy, and destroy this group of trolls for me!" ‘
Seeing that the opportunity for revenge was in front of them, everyone led the order in murderous unison to arrange ~~
Under Xie Feng's command, the army formed a large pocket and pressed up against the troll troops.
During this period, the scouts kept coming back to report the situation to Xie Feng, and Xie Feng also adjusted the formation according to the situation.
As the two sides approached, the trolls also seemed to have discovered the traces of the army and wanted to retreat, Xie Feng saw their movements, didn't care about hiding their tracks, and directly led the army to rush out~
'Kill me!!' ‘
As soon as the signal was issued, the rangers on both sides shot a rain of arrows at the same time, enveloping the panicked trolls~ After three consecutive waves of arrow rain, they began to run to both sides of the trolls, wanting to surround them~ And the blood knights also rushed up from the front under the leadership of Xie Feng.
Harassed by the rangers' bows and arrows, it didn't take long for an army of 4,000 to surround the trolls. Blood knights and other melee classes formed a circle to firmly block the trolls and prevent them from breaking through, while the rangers gathered around the perimeter to shoot a shower of arrows and vent their anger heartily~
Even the trolls, who are known for their regenerative abilities, could not stand such a high-intensity attack, and one by one they fell in pieces like hedgehogs with arrows on their bodies.
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning flew out of the troll formation and struck the Blood Knight in the front row. The familiar move immediately made everyone know who he was. Tyri, who had been preparing for a long time, shot a cloud of arcane energy to intercept the lightning, and the five magisters and Chrissy unceremoniously shot five flamebursts and a huge lava ball at the same time to hit the lightning where it flew out.
Five magic spells smashed into the troll horde, causing a violent explosion. Before the flames could ignite, a violent storm rose in the center of the explosion, blowing away the surrounding flames. Covered in blood and embarrassed, Ekirsson appeared in the center of the storm~
Seeing that the enemy was right in front of him, Xie Feng's eyes were red and he shouted loudly: "Everyone is attacking with all their might!" Kill him for me!! ‘
Without his warning, the Magus shot five arcane barrages at the storm in a row, and Chris's fireball and Tyri's ice blade followed.
Six powerful magic spells hit the storm and almost dissipated it, and after barely holding it out, Ekilsson actually used his strength again to expand the storm and roll it towards the soldiers~ forcing the Magister and Tyri to quickly intercept it.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ekirsson screamed and spat out a mouthful of blood, and then his body turned into a transparent eagle form in a burst of lightning and quickly rose into the air, and before everyone had time to react, he quickly swept in the direction of Zuaman~~
It was too late for Xie Feng to let people catch up. With the flight speed of the eagle just now, even a dragon can't try to catch up, it should be his life-saving stunt.
The people who escaped by Ekilsson took advantage of the gap to vent their anger on the remaining trolls in the field, and in a short time they wiped out all the 1,000 trolls~
Although the culprit escaped, now is not the time for revenge. Xie Feng also reluctantly commanded the soldiers to clean up the battlefield and treat the wounded.
After a cursory sweep of the battlefield and a short rest, the army set out again for Taquelin.
The rangers found about 4,000 trolls, but only now a thousand have been eliminated. Although Ekilsson was seriously injured and fled for his life, three thousand trolls could also make the weakened Taquelin suffer heavy casualties, so Xie Feng and the others were not in a hurry~~
