Chapter 252: Corpses are everywhere

With the troops, Roger and the others quickly rushed to the scene of the incident, and the tragic scene they saw made Roger and the others, who had already seen too many corpses, change their faces.

For not a single corpse of an elf was intact as far as they could see.

Although the relationship between the Oakes Kingdom and the Elven royal family has become somewhat strained due to Luna's relationship with Roger, Roger and the others have never thought that the Elves will become their enemies.

After all, the relationship between the two parties is actually more like a quarrelsome family. What's more, the current Night Elf Clan is still a branch of the Elf Clan in name.

So when Roger and the others saw this scene, they were a little angry.

Carefully avoiding the severed limbs at his feet, Roger quickly approached Elsa, who was carefully examining a corpse.

"Well, did you find anything?" Looking at the corpse of this elven marksman who was obviously at the level of the captain, Roger couldn't help frowning tightly.

The current appearance of this captain of the thousand-man brigade of the elven clan is extremely desolate.

The left arm and both legs were directly cut off, and even the delicate head fell not far away, except for the only remaining right hand still clutching a dagger. Obviously, until the last moment before his death, the elven captain did not give up the idea of fighting back.

“…… I've examined seven corpses, and the slain elven warriors all fell in a similar fashion to the elven captain. And so far, I haven't found a single corpse that doesn't belong to the elves, and it seems that the assailants have taken all the bodies of their companions with them. Aisha's face was slightly pale, but she still said to Roger very seriously: "Moreover, I found traces of suspected beast gnawing on two of these corpses. Also underneath a corpse, a long sword was found. ”

He took the sword that Aisha handed her. A cold glint suddenly flashed in Roger's eyes: "It's actually the coat of arms of the Wild Wolf Principality?" ”

According to common sense, it should be the troops of the neighboring Falcon Principality that are more likely to attack the Elves now, and a considerable part of the hero generals of the Wild Wolf Principality are leading their troops to fight with the hero generals of the mercenary kingdom, and it is unlikely that they will have the spare time to attack the Elves.

But Roger and the others, these friends who used to live in the eastern tribes, are well aware of the virtues of the Wolf Principality, and the slave catchers who most often attack the elves. But most of them have the support of the nobles of the Wild Wolf Principality. And the elven clan once sent the elven expeditionary force to pursue the slave hunting team that fled into the wolf principality, and even wiped out many regular troops of the wolf principality who dared to help those slave hunting teams.

It can be said that the relationship between the elves and the wolf principality is an absolute national enmity, and it is not surprising when a conflict breaks out between the two sides.

"Ordinary beasts don't attack elves who are close to nature, and we didn't see any beasts in the vicinity when we got here." Aisha grabbed the dagger on her waist and said hatefully: "I'm seventy percent sure that it was the wolf cavalry or the dire wolf troops of the Principality of Wild Wolves who attacked these wounded soldiers!" ”

"I'm adding my dog's paw prints here. The possibility that the enemy is the troops of the Wild Wolf Principality has reached nine. Sayuri, who wasn't as angry as Aisha was, but had a little chill in her eyes, opened a corpse, looked at the beast footprints left on the ground, and said, "Although these people have cleaned up the traces, it is clear that they are not professional enough. ”

"Wait a minute! Elsa, you say these elves are wounded soldiers? ****'s eyes suddenly burst into anger. He said coldly: "According to the Continental Convention, isn't it forbidden to attack the troops transporting the wounded!" ”

"Don't be stupid. These beasts obviously don't understand human speech, and they don't have to be expected to obey any conventions honestly. Garon pursed his lips, slammed the long stick in his hand to the ground, and began to direct the troops to collect the corpse.

Only then did the others who had just woken up react and began to direct the troops to collect the corpses of these elves.

Under the action of tens of thousands of people, the corpses of the elves were quickly collected. And buried it uniformly.

The faces of the few people who got together again were a little unpleasant.

Looking around at the people around her, Sayuri took the lead and said: "A considerable number of corpses have bite marks on them, and there is no smell of sulfur or asphalt here, so it can only be the dire wolf troops of the Wild Wolf Principality." ”

"Really." Roger shook his head coldly: "Human beings, sometimes they are really more evil than demons." ”

Although he is also a human being. But Roger didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said, he knew too well how terrible the dark side of humanity was.

“…… The quivers carried by the elven archers were all taken away, and some of the intact bows and arrows were missing. It is clear that the enemy does not have many supplies. **** gritted his teeth and said, "There is a high chance that the enemy will attack the nearby villages, so we must speed up." ”

"Judging from the various traces left here, it is speculated that the other party should have a part of the eighth-order wolf cavalry, and a large number of dire wolf troops, and also have a shooter army, and the total number should be tens of thousands." Aisha whispered, her hand gripping the dagger tightly.

"So what are you waiting for!" Garon grabbed the long stick, but was quickly held down by Roger.

"That's it! Don't be impulsive! Roger scolded loudly, and then without waiting for Garon to speak, he said to ****: "****! You follow the trail with your eagle archers. Once you spot an enemy, don't be impulsive, send us a signal first, and then volley the enemy with a bow and arrow from the side! ”

The ****, whose face was a little dark, nodded, and flew into the sky with the dragon eagle archers.

Looking at the **** who was quickly moving away, Garon said a little unpleasantly: "I knew that I would have picked the flying unit to take it." ”

"When you officially run into the enemy, you'll want cavalry units that can charge head-on again! So you'd better be honest with me now. Rolling his eyes, Roger instructed Sayuri: "Once the **** is angry, it is easy to be impulsive, so you also take the scouts to track and signal us as soon as you encounter the enemy." ”

Sayuri, who was still calm, nodded, and then disappeared into a puff of black smoke.

Aisha opened her mouth. saw Roger frown violently and swept over, and immediately closed his mouth tightly.

Compared with Elsa, who has better hiding ability, Roger actually trusts the stable Sayuri more, so he chose to let Sayuri follow the ****. And Aisha actually knew this, so she didn't speak.

However, if you don't speak, you don't speak. Aisha, who was obviously a little dissatisfied, still blatantly pouted, walked beside Roger.

Looking at Elsa on the left and Garon on the right with an impatient face, Roger began to regret why he didn't bring Tuna and the others with him.

Even Wendy, who is eager to fight, seems to be a little more reliable than these friends.

On the other side, the **** with the dragon eagle shooters kept scanning in all directions, and with a pair of eagle eyes, he could easily see the appearance of the grass in the sky. It was with his extraordinary eyesight that he quickly spotted the enemy.

Probably fearing that there were pursuers behind them, the group of troops suspected of being the Principality of Wild Wolves also played a little trick: they quickly turned back after running a constant distance to the north, and then turned to the northeast. It also cleaned up the traces of the march to the northeast.

Of course, they only cleared the traces of a short distance and headed at full speed towards a small town to the northeast.

You can see that this army is definitely not going to that town to send warmth.

However, their old suspicion formation did not have any effect, **** was very sharp to find that there were obviously too many traces on the ground on the latter part of the road, and then he quickly found some other traces nearby, and followed the traces of this march to catch up with the enemy.

After releasing the Xun Eagle, **** led the Dragon Eagle archers to attack the enemy.

The Pegasus flying under the **** seat at the front of the army is not an ordinary Pegasus. It's the elite of the Pegasus family: the Silverwing Pegasus. Although its combat power is not as strong as that of the Dragon Eagle, the speed of the Silver Wing Pegasus is much faster than that of the Dragon Eagle. This makes the distance between **** and Dragon Eagle shooters a little too far.

But **** didn't care about this, he raised the longbow in his hand and aimed at the army not far away. And the Silver Wing Pegasus under his seat also slowed down a little, focusing more on flying steadily rather than fast.

Squinting his eyes slightly, **** searched for that unit.

All of the people in this unit were dressed in black armor. Most of them rode horses, while a small number rode black wolves of unusually large size. And around this black-armored unit, there was also a large group of black wolves with some silver hair on their backs.

It was the demon wolf domesticated by the beast trainers of the Principality of Wild Wolves: the silverback wolf.

The one riding the huge black wolf is obviously the legendary eighth-order elite cavalry: the wolf cavalry. Unlike the goblin cavalry riding wolves in the orc kingdom, the black wolves under the wolf cavalry of the wolf principality are seventh-level mutant dire wolves. These huge black wolves are not as obedient as silverback wolves, they only obey the orders of the strong.

Therefore, the riders who can become the black wolf cavalry are all strong men who can defeat a black wolf in one-on-one. Coupled with the black wolf under the seat, these wolf cavalry can easily cross the insurmountable threshold of other troops as long as they have a little training, and become the top cavalry of the eighth order.

The black-armored heavy cavalry guarding the wolf cavalry did not break through the threshold of the eighth order, so these seventh-order heavy cavalry could only serve as subordinates to the wolf cavalry. And in the heavy cavalry units, there was also a special unit mixed in.

Terran marksman on horseback.

These sharpshooters all carried heavy crossbows on their backs, and were vigilantly observing around, and many of them still had elven longbows and special quivers on their horses.

Obviously, they were the ones who took the bow and arrow from the elven troops.

Although they were all on horseback, these sharpshooters were clearly not the kind of archers who could shoot arrows on horseback. This can be seen from the somewhat stiff movements of the marksmen, and the riding skills of these marksmen are obviously not very good.

Although it was only a hurried sweep, **** still estimated the approximate number of enemies: the total number of eighth-order wolf cavalry was only five hundred, the number was as high as three thousand five, the number was as high as three thousand, the number was as high as three thousand, the number was as high as two thousand, and the fifth-order silverback wolf was about four thousand.

And soon, **** also discovered his target: the enemy's general.

At the front of the wolf cavalry, under the escort of two wolf cavalrymen holding banners, the cavalry riding on the back of the tallest black wolf was obviously dressed a little differently from the other wolf cavalry.

This guy should be the leader of the wolf cavalry force, if not a hero.

Taking a deep breath, **** suddenly held his breath, and with the rhythm of the silver-winged pegasus flapping its wings under the seat, he shot an arrow at the general!

"Whew!"

"Whoosh ......"

As the **** shot out the arrows, the dragon eagle archers who had been holding their bows also let go of their hands suddenly, and the two thousand feather arrows immediately followed the arrows shot by the **** and shot at the black-armored cavalry troops.

The black-armored marksmen, who had been vigilant, immediately noticed the rain of arrows and immediately shouted loudly.

The leader of the wolf cavalry who was targeted by **** also reacted suddenly, and subconsciously raised the shield in his left hand over his shoulder.

"Phew!"

The arrow did not penetrate the wolf cavalry leader's shield, and the feather arrow broke off in the shield, and was immediately bounced away from the distance.

With a sigh, **** once again mounted an arrow, his eyes still staring at the general.

However, **** actually knows very well that he probably has no chance.

That's where the Demon Chaser comes in. In the face of enemies who are not demons, the demon hunters can only rely on superb archery skills to try to regain their inferiority, and cannot use various powerful archery skills to snipe the enemy like the marksmen.

However, **** does not regret his choice, if he is given another chance, he will still choose to embark on this path.

Most of the elite wolf cavalry raised their shields in time, so they did not suffer much damage in the rain of arrows, and the heavy cavalry troops looked a little confused.

After all, it was the first time for the Dragon Eagle Marksmen to go to the battlefield, and what they originally planned to shoot was actually the Wolf Cavalry Unit. Although they have usually received quite strict training, most of the Dragon Eagle archers who are moving at high altitude towards the target that is moving at high speed on the ground at high speed, and they are not very experienced, in the rain of arrows just now, most of them shoot crookedly.

However, most of the crooked arrows fell on the heavy cavalry troops, causing the heavy cavalry to suddenly become in chaos.

Under the shouts of the wolf cavalry generals, the wolf cavalry units and heavy cavalry units began to scatter in all directions. The marksmen quickly dismounted, and with the help of the cover of the horses, launched a counterattack against the dragon eagle archers.

To the surprise of ****, about 2,000 heavy cavalry also dismounted, holding huge shields to protect the marksman troops.

"I see, the two thousand heavy cavalry in it are actually sixth-order heavy shield guards?" Muttered in a low voice. He was already a little surprised how there were so many seventh-order heavy cavalry, but he didn't expect that those were actually guards on horseback.

After all, the guards, like the heavy cavalry, rode horses in black armor, holding shields and guns. It's just that the **** that swept by was wrong, and it was understandable.

"Chirp!"

With a jerk of his head, a crossbow bolt grazed his cheek and flew by, leaving a small wound on his cheek.

He didn't bother with the arrow that nearly killed him, but quickly found the person who shot the arrow: a sharpshooter with both hands holding a giant crossbow that was two sizes larger than the other marksmen.

"I see, is there a marksman general who wields a giant crossbow?" (To be continued.) )
