Chapter 982: The Terrifying Weapon of the Outer Heaven Demon Clan!
Barguf, who was contemplative in the group, was also startled by the sudden sound of gunfire, and he reflexively searched for traces of the enemy in order to carry out an effective counterattack.
It's a pity that there are no suspicious traces around, and I don't know where the sneak attacker just now is hiding?
Damn scouts, they didn't find any trace of the enemy, they should be punished!
"Stop moving forward, stay put!"
With Barguff's order, the team that was originally marching immediately turned to face both sides of the road, and lined up the shields in their hands one after another, forming a shield wall.
The soldiers in the back also quickly moved forward, and once again stacked a shield on the existing shield wall, thus forming a simple defensive position that could withstand the rain of arrows.
The warriors who were protected by the shield wall, except for some who had their spears on the shield wall, the rest were all half-crouched on the ground, their swords unsheathed, and their whole bodies tense and watching the situation around them.
Archers and crossbowmen are ready to respond effectively after an ambush at any time.
"Let's go ahead and have a look!"
Protected by a group of guards, Barguv jumped off his horse and walked to the front of the group, where he soon saw a dozen soldiers with wounded legs.
They were all lying within the boundaries of the stele, their faces looking pained, and some were desperately crawling in the direction of the procession.
Seeing this, the two soldiers immediately rushed over, trying to help their companions up.
But just as the two soldiers crossed the boundary of the stone monument, two more crisp sounds came, and then two clumps of blood broke out on the thighs of the two soldiers, screaming and falling to the ground!
After seeing this scene, Barguf's eyes shrank slightly, and he hid behind the shield wall composed of guards, staring at the woods in front of him.
Although the attack was extremely fast, he could vaguely see a trace and confirm that the sneak attacker was hiding in the woods in front of him.
The other party's intention is obvious, just as it is written on the stone tablet, no outsiders are allowed to enter, otherwise they will be severely punished!
Obviously, the dozen or so soldiers were attacked by the other party because they violated the warning on the stone tablet and crossed that line.
There was no direct shooting, and it was obvious that there was an element of warning.
This strange and powerful weapon reminded Barguf of what was mentioned in the previous intelligence, and he couldn't help but feel jealous.
However, in this case, Barguv must not show weakness, otherwise the morale of the army will be frustrated, so it is better to simply go home.
What's more, he has a reason why he must get rid of the Outer Heaven Demon Clan, no matter what the strength of the other party is, he has to try it anyway!
"You guys with shields, go to the front!"
Out of an abundance of caution, Barguv did not give the order to force his way forward, but ordered the soldiers to test again.
The soldiers who were named looked at each other, and although there was a hint of fear in their eyes, they immediately raised the shield covered with animal skins in their hands, covered their bodies as much as possible, and moved forward cautiously.
The soldiers did not dare to resist Barguf's orders, so they had to bite the bullet and move forward.
However, when their bodies crossed the invisible boundary, the expected gunfire rang out again, and then under the gaze of everyone, the leather hardwood shield, which was enough to withstand the heavy arrow shot, was directly shattered.
The soldiers who hid behind the shields were not so lucky this time, because they were the target of the attack on their heads and chests because of the depression of their bodies, and the bullets pierced their bodies after penetrating the shields.
After a large amount of blood spurted out of their backs and heads, a terrifying blood hole appeared in the back of the soldiers' bodies, and their bodies collapsed limply to the ground.
Seeing this scene, the soldiers of Snowman City immediately made a commotion, and Barguf's face changed.
The power of the weapons of the Outer Heaven Demon Race is so powerful!
The thought of being exposed to such a terrifying weapon made Barguf's heart tremble, and he glanced at the shields held aloft by the guards around him, as if he didn't feel safe.
"The whole army obeyed the order and retreated two hundred meters."
When the order was given, the team immediately shrank backwards like flowing water.
After the team stopped, Barguf subconsciously took a few steps back, allowing himself to hide behind the crowd as much as possible.
Immediately after his order, a group of soldiers, holding their shields aloft, again formed a semicircular shield wall in front of him.
Barguv felt a little reassured, and at the same time orders were given one after another.
More than a dozen monks who were skilled in the use of bows and arrows were quickly mobilized and poked out the sharp cone-tipped arrows through the gaps in their shields.
In the sunlight, these cone-tipped arrows shimmered faintly, clearly enchanted weapons.
"You guys, put on a metal shield for me, and try again!"
Barguv wanted to find out how powerful this weapon really was, so as not to be caught off guard in the event of a war.
However, judging from the current situation, this weapon is extremely lethal and is enough to pose a lethal threat to ordinary soldiers.
Ordinary hardwood shields, as well as the leather armor worn by soldiers, simply cannot withstand the attack of this weapon!
If the Outer Demons had a large number of similar weapons in their hands, then once this battle broke out, it would inevitably cost Balguf's soldiers extremely heavy casualties!
This kind of result, Barguv did not want to see.
The soldiers who were pointed out were already trembling with metal shields at this moment, and slowly advanced forward under the gaze of a pair of eyes behind them.
Most of the soldiers who were shot in the leg had crawled back, and only a few were still lying in pools of blood, seemingly unconscious from excessive bleeding.
The bodies of several soldiers who had been shot were also lying on the blood-soaked grass, staring at them with godless eyes.
Several of the soldiers trembled with fear, but they did not dare to retreat at all, because the sharp arrows were also aimed at the back of their hearts.
If you disobey the order, you will definitely die, but it is possible to save your life if you go forward, after all, they are holding a metal shield in their hands, and they should be able to resist that kind of strange weapon attack!
Thinking like this, their confidence also increased a little, and they finally stepped into the land behind the stone monument.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were already wide, and they couldn't take their eyes off the few soldiers.
"Bang!"
The chilling voice came out again, only this time it was much more dull than the first two.
At the same time, the sound of the metal shield being struck hard was heard. At the same time, the bodies of those soldiers stiffened, and a large blood mist mixed with flesh and bones suddenly erupted, completely blocking everyone's sight.
It turns out that even a metal shield can't withstand the attack of this strange weapon!
"Whoosh!"
At the same time that these pathfinders were hit, more than a dozen enchanted arrows flew out with the sound of breaking through the sky and headed straight for the dense forest.
This enchanted arrow flies a long distance and penetrates amazingly, and can also shoot through metal shields under the control of native monks!
The only regret is that the cost of this weapon is too high, and only the indigenous monks can afford it!
Those indigenous monks who had already been preparing to attack had already locked on to the location where the sound came from the moment the gunfire rang out just now, and launched an attack without hesitation.
"Keep shooting at me, suppress the opponent's attack, you guys rush up for me, you must get the opponent's weapon!"
Shock and greed flashed in Barguf's eyes, and he had already developed a desire for such a sharp weapon.
If he can get this kind of weapon and make equipment in large quantities, then even if the coalition formed by other forces comes, he will not be afraid!
Even with this weapon, he could conquer the surrounding provinces, and even the entire continent of Tamriel, it was not impossible!
When the time comes, he will be the king of the entire continent, and everyone will submit to his rule.
So even if he pays some casualties, he must get this weapon in his hands!
