Chapter 6 There is no war in the circle
PS: Modify the wording. Thanks to the six members of "Fantasy", "Dream Wind Chimes", "Ordinary People Who Fight", "Gatsby" and "Justice" for their monthly votes. At the same time, thank you for the great reward from "Xi Yaner". The bug in 'Chapter 123 New Words' has been fixed.
The scorching flames rolled through the team, and in order not to injure her teammates, Rielly made the flames explode in the middle and rear of the enemy team. And the unlucky guy who was shot by Barrett before also fell behind the team under the cover of several of his cronies.
The war horse under the crotch began to become disobedient because of the pain. The stench of the charred fur irritates the horse's nerves. The unlucky man who finally managed to stabilize his body on horseback tightened his teeth. He endured the heat, the shock, and the excruciating pain, trying not to crush the bottle or spill the potion; When he had survived the pain of the flames, he was relieved to find that the potion was still intact.
After a lot of hardship, the little leader of the horse thieves finally broke the cap of the bottle and drank his potion in one go. But at this moment, the long sword he originally held no longer knew where it had been left in the chaos just now. It looks like it's not coming.
Still with spare weapons in his horse's sack, he pulled out the scimitar and found that the backpack containing his treasure was now a complete burden. After a brief mental struggle, he threw the backpack that hung from his arm backwards. Then he swiped behind his horse's buttocks, and galloped towards the battlefield in front of him.
And on the caravan side, Rieli's release of the fireball took the lead. within the scope of its shroud. There were two or three unlucky horse thieves who fell straight from their horses. And the rest of the horse thieves, along with the horses under their crotches, were also wounded. And on the side of caravans. Only one hapless aboriginal guard had burned his arm because he had rushed away.
This huge battle loss ratio boosted the morale of the caravan. Originally the aboriginal adventurers whose personal strength was relatively weaker than that of horse thieves. At this time, it is pressing the other party to fight. And Barrett, who led the charge, was entangled by the leader of this horse thief team at this time.
Although the spear in Barrett's hand pierced the opponent's round shield at the first moment of the charge, stabbing the enemy in front of him in the chest. However, Barrett, who lacks the riding expertise (riding combat, riding attack, and charging hard), is not able to fully exert his riding ability in the system judgment. Therefore, although the leader of the horse thieves in front of him was not lightly injured, he still stopped with the help of the healing belt on his body.
Charging spears are less agile when they get bogged down in chaos. Although Barrett's shaking spear bloomed in front of the enemy, the leader of the horse thieves used the combination of sword and shield in his hand to defend it to the death, and it was difficult to make a contribution for a while.
Of course, if you can use the broken peak, the effect of the ancient weapon will be reduced by ten with one force. It is completely possible to teach the enemy in front of you what it means to destroy people with a shield. However, such a heavy two-handed weapon, if you want to use it on horseback, it is also a bit difficult for Barrett now. That's why he gave up that powerful weapon in favor of this tabula rasa spear that he bought casually from the store.
The spear is like a dragon, telescopic and changing, cold stars, and silver light. Under this inaccessible marksmanship, although the leader of the horse thieves in front of him survived with the advantage in weapons, he now only had the strength to parry, and there was no counterattack at all. But he didn't seem worried. Because judging from the scene, the gang he leads still has a clear numerical advantage. Even from the point of view of the quality of individual soldiers. It is also stronger than caravan guards other than the player.
At the same time, as time passed, the high morale brought by the good start of the fireball technique was almost worn out in the long-term battle. Of course, because there was the support of the spellcaster behind him, and Barrett, the leader of the team, completely suppressed the strongest of the enemy, so the battle situation did not deteriorate for the caravan.
And the most important thing was that by taking advantage of the counter-charge of the caravan guards, those who remained in the wagon took advantage of the time gained by their companions to begin to improve the fortifications of the camp with carts. Although the level of this caravan in front of him in this aspect is much worse than the original Boreham caravan. However, they were still experienced in their operations, and soon built a line of defense made of caravans as if they had completed the camping preparation.
"Mr. Bossy! Should reserves be used? Rielly, holding the scroll in her hand, looked at the stalemate in front of her and asked.
The only ones who had just started the charge were the rangers in the caravan, and their main members were adventurers hired temporarily from the Ulrik Mercenary Guild. Only a handful of the caravan mates were involved. You must know that the caravan guys who run the grassland trade routes all the year round can never be some soft-footed shrimp who are powerless. Most of them have their own warrior, cavalry, or ranger ranks.
However, these self-cultivated combat forces are highly valued by the leaders of any caravan. Because this is the foundation for maintaining and growing a caravan. So most of the time, caravans prefer to use risk-takers who have been paid to deal with robbers, and these caravan members are used to suppress the formation and act as reserves.
Team Leader Bossi then observed the situation on the battlefield and shook his head, "Don't worry! Miss Mage, don't you think the number of these horse thieves in front of you is too small? โ
"Too little?" Turning her head to look, Rielly looked at the attackers who outnumbered the caravan rangers, and suddenly became unconscious.
Team leader Bossi stretched out his hand and pointed to the battlefield where the slashing was loud and clear: "Do you see, we don't even have all the temporarily hired adventurers there. But under the leadership of your captain, you have been able to suppress them. It is completely impossible for an attacker like this to eat our caravan. Horse thieves are not so stupid, and when there is a disparity in strength, they would rather choose to stay away than attack. And once the attack is launched, it means that they have a certain certainty. โ
The horse thieves of the steppe have survived to this day. Naturally, he has his own set of judgment ability for friend and foe. Most of the time. They are very conservative in their choice of targets. It is better to eat much less loot than expected. I don't want my team to be damaged too much.
After all, in addition to the aforementioned issue of internal annexation, the personnel replenishment of the steppe horse thieves is not as easy as that of the regular army. If the chief of this kind of thing often made a mistake in judgment, they would have been cleaned up by the caravan in the process of raiding without special extermination.
"Are you saying the team in front of you is a decoy?" Rielly's pupils shrank sharply as she thought of something.
Team Leader Bossi nodded, "That's right." Of course, if we can't even resist the attack of this bait, the bait in front of us will immediately turn into a fierce beast and swallow us along with the bone. โ
Because the mages among the natives are often wise, after the war Rieli was invited by Captain Bossi to sit in the center with him in order to give adviceโfireballs have a huge range. This distance will also affect the effectiveness of the battlefield.
On the other hand, the heavily armed dwarves are now standing on a flatbed cart, holding their newly acquired 'Ancient Virtue Warhammer' in their hands, observing the battlefield in the distance. It seems that he can't wait to rush in and kill all sides immediately. At this moment, the cat boy on the side patted the dwarf on the shoulder and reminded: "Don't think about the anvil, there are all cavalry there." If you rush in like this, you will definitely be trampled to death by a chaotic horse without negotiation. โ
"Just be on your guard. Don't forget the signal Barrett gave us when he left. "The halfling loitering with his feet wound up in a metal ring is also trying to persuade his friend.
The dwarf who turned around touched his beard: "I'm not stupid, and I won't do that kind of thing." Speaking of which, I think that as a warrior, I also have the ability to ride and fight! As long as he finds the right mount, Barrett will never be left alone next time. โ
"Poof!" Originally ending the release ability of the spirit of words over a long distance, Claudia. Auditore is giving the Native Guards on the battlefield the power of 'chivalry'. But when she heard the anvil, she couldn't help laughing, and the half-finished chanting was interrupted.
Fortunately, the chant of the spirit does not have the risk of backlash like the mage's spellcasting, so Claudia. Auditore himself had nothing to lose. But if she finishes this chanting. The situation of one of the rangers on the battlefield will be greatly improved. It's a shame.
And heard Claudia. Auditore whispered his anvil and glared and asked, "Claudia, what are you laughing at?" Is there anything funny about what I just said? โ
"Ha, ha...... Let me laugh for a moment. Claudia holding her belly. Auditore then said, "You just said you found the right mount. So with an anvil your figure is ready to ride a goat? I still want to ride a large pangolin! โ
"Goats? Pangolin? At the same time, the dwarven warrior also sketched the image of these creatures riding in his head, and then immediately burst into a rage: "Claudia, you guy, don't make such a joke!" The dwarf's mount is obviously a pony. โ
"Pony? How thick would it take for a stout pony to withstand your armor? "Claudia. Auditore continued to laugh indifferently.
The anvil immediately replied: "Why not! There are many such ponies in the exclusive horse farm of the dwarven cavalry. โ
"Good! Good! Good! It's okay to have it. But do you have any way to get that kind of cavalry mount? "Speaking of Claudia. Auditore touched his chin. "So you guy still use your own 11-way shuttle, and being a good infantry shield is the right choice."
Specially bred war horses are also very important strategic materials in this world. They have their own pedigree just like a real-life thoroughbred, and each one costs a lot to bring. In fact, there are many connoisseurs who are familiar with horses who can tell at a glance which country, where, and by which family the thoroughbred horse belongs from the physical characteristics of a military war horse.
Of course, compared to the dragon horses ridden by some strong people, the value of such a war horse is actually not very high. However, although players can now afford to buy war horses, the dwarf war horses that are exclusive to dwarves are even rarer than ordinary war horses. I can't find a place to buy a horse with money in my hand!
"Even if you manage to buy one of those specially trained ponies." Claudia. "But I've heard that keeping and maintaining this mount is a lot of trouble. Are you sure you'll be able to take it with you on your adventures all the time? You don't have to worry about temporarily storing it in a town car or hotel! โ
Claudia. Auditore's last mention is also the biggest difficulty players will have to face in raising mounts. So every time a player needs to use a horse, it is often rented temporarily. If you need to use it for a long time, you can buy a passable horse for the time being, and then resell it when you don't need it anymore - anyway, there is no shortage of buyers for horses in most places, as long as you don't get cheated when you buy it, you generally can't lose a few dollars.
Hearing this, the anvil fell silent, and then his expression suddenly became resolute: "Since I can't ride a horse, I'll go and ride the earth elemental." If I remember correctly, there is a class among the dwarves that combines paladins, warriors, and staunch defenders. He was able to give me the ability to summon earth elemental comrades. โ
"Are you sure this is a class that players can choose? How does it sound so much like the dwarven lords Barrett mentioned earlier? "Claymatis. Bot said and touched his cheek.
Anvil nodded, "The Stone Warrior is a loyal sentinel in the Dwarven realm, a profession that draws on the power of ancient rocks from the earth to assist the Deepstone Lords in defending their people. To put it bluntly, it can be regarded as the castrated version of the Deep Stone Lord among the four major lords of the dwarves! Although it is relatively weaker, it seems to be stronger than my current ordinary warriors! In particular, the ability to summon earth elementals ......"
Servant of Stone: At level 5, the Lord of Stone can summon a small earth elemental to his side, similar to a paladin summoning mount. This Earth elemental faction is orderly and good, and has a Celestial Template, and its size increases with the level of the Lord of Stone, reaching Medium at level 8, Large at level 11, Super Large at level 14, Giant at level 17, and Super Jumbo (Elder) at level 20.
"But Anvil, aren't you going to work part-time? You have to think about this carefully, and your future career plan is not decided by a momentary rush. Noodle reminded him a little anxiously. (To be continued......)
