207.Chapter 207: This Is Okay?!
The terrain outside Kig is flat and open, and because much of the surrounding area is farmland, it is a desolate yellow-brown as far as the eye can see. Luo Di and the others brought up puffs of smoke and dust when they crossed here, and when they saw the edge of the Silent Forest, the team that had dug traps there could no longer be found among the slightly high woodlands in the distance.
Outside the quiet forest, there were only a few marked trees that showed Roddy the way forward.
Behind them, heavy footsteps were pressing... Twenty giant gray-brown golems with a height of two meters were running, and they seemed to move slowly, but in fact they were not much slower than the speed of the war horses.
This is the most adaptable and impactful "earth puppet" in the puppet system. Compared to the iron golem's strong defense, the biggest advantage of the earth golem is its fast speed and large size, and after the number exceeds ten, its charging momentum is not weaker than that of hundreds of human knights.
Behind them, ten "iron golems" who were slightly slower also threw off their steps and ran. An Tuhao's assets are really strong, and the strength of the iron puppets that rushed over this time is not weaker than the previous batch that attacked Pal Town, and it can even be said to be surpassed!
Above, four hovering gargoyles were neighing and rushing towards the area, the horses had no speed advantage in front of these flying golems, and these monsters with a wingspan of four or five meters launched an attack in the blink of an eye towards the team that was still a hundred meters away from the forest—
"Dodge!"
Seeing them swooping down, Roddy's command sounded, and the six scouts immediately tilted their bodies, and the whole of them slid towards the side of the saddle, as if they had fallen directly from the horse, but in fact, they all performed the difficult riding skill of "hiding in the stirrups"!
The scouts had become familiar with horses after a long period of horseback training, and this tactical move was originally practiced to dodge the stray arrows after the charge, but it happened to dodge the gargoyle's claws!
The gargoyle in front of him swooped down.
When the gargoyles in the back rushed in, Roddy and the others did not dodge: Sodlore and Wellington swung their long swords at the attacking gargoyles in unison, and the buzzing sound was accompanied by the appearance of "battle qi", instantly knocking the puppet that was trying to approach directly away!
Although Sodrore was not strong enough to let the "battle qi" out, he also used his precise swordsmanship to carry a sword on the body of a gargoyle, and splashed a large piece of broken stone residue.
Wellington, on the other hand, was extremely strong, and with a sharp swing of his long sword, the white "sword qi" that flew out diagonally directly cut a big hole in the abdomen of a gargoyle!
Roddy steadily shot a burst arrow, which directly caused the last gargoyle to be distracted by the firelight, and fluttered his wings for a long time before climbing back to height.
Although this wave of attacks was dangerous, none of the nine knights were injured, but two of the gargoyles flew crookedly, and the angry hiss could be heard clearly from afar.
They circled and climbed high, and then prepared to dive again, but Luo Di and the others did not intend to wait for the second wave of attacks - the Silent Forest had already arrived, and they rushed into the woodland without hesitation!
The gargoyles don't have a high IQ, and the battle order given by Ansardine when he summoned them was simply "killing", so seeing this situation, they directly threw off the thirty puppets in the rear and chased them into the forest...
Henry, the fat man lying in the trench, had a complicated expression at this time.
Roddy's sudden appearance in the morning caught him off guard, and the subsequent order was even more unbelievable - exchange more than 400 silver coins for potions from the Apothecary's Guild... With a shrewd mind full of calculations, he really couldn't see what kind of wisdom this was.
Isn't this a game of burning money? Who will be slaughtered in the pharmacist's guild these days?
The key is that after buying things, Luo Di even let himself come to the Silent Forest to "deliver" - he has long had a strong psychological shadow of this forest, but he can only rush over if he is reluctant, but who knows that he actually encountered... Such a bunch of crazy people.
When I came here an hour ago... The seventy or eighty soldiers who were busy in the clearing outside the forest didn't pay any attention to him at all, only a middle-aged soldier with a beard came forward to "receive"... said that it was a reception, but in fact, he didn't even ask for extra nonsense, but after taking the medicine, he was taken to a tree pit and squatted, and gave a hard order, saying, "Stay put, don't leave." ”
"Where did these madmen come from... Could it be a team of mercenaries from other places?"
Henry's mind was full of doubts, he tried to go out to see what was going on, but was directly "sent" back by two long swords - the fat mercenary who was accustomed to freedom did not adapt to this atmosphere at all, because he felt that these guys were not people at all, but a group of silent machines!
No one heeds his protests, and the "machines" all hide in the jungle after finishing the traps, and are silent in an instant.
If Henry hadn't seen a cloak woman sitting behind a tree not far away, he would have thought that everything he had just seen was a hallucination...
"Is this an ambush? What is there to ambush in Kieg Town? Could it be that you want to do something to Viscount Tranca?"
In Kiger Town for so many years, Henry has participated in the largest number of battles, which is nothing more than a large-scale fight in the tavern - a scuffle of eighty people can already be called a "big scene", but that kind of thing can only be called a "brawl", and in this kind of peacetime, the battle of life and death will only appear when facing Warcraft.
Guessing all kinds of possibilities in his mind, Henry suddenly heard a hiss...
The forest was quiet and frightening at this time, so the sound was even more permeating - Henry listened for a long time, and finally couldn't hold back his curiosity, slightly grabbed the mound, showed half of his head, and glanced into the distance.
In his field of vision, nine knights were running up the long uphill stretch of the forest, and behind them—
What the hell is that?!
Henry's eyes widened, and he clearly saw the gargoyle passing from the sky...
At this moment, Roddy's figure stood out from the ranks, and he was the first to rush into the quiet woodland, and then shouted something upwards and continued to run into the depths.
And the four gargoyles that circled behind had already approached again, their outstretched wings were closed by the dense trunks, and two of them chose to fly sideways, their crazy flight speed made Henry's eyes a little unable to keep up, and seeing each other approaching, he quickly lowered his head-
The sound of "whoosh" sounded, and the gargoyles suddenly swept over Henry's head, and the air currents they brought up swept countless fallen leaves, making the fat man's heart tremble.
"What kind of stuff did he mess with..."
Henry found that his two legs began to tremble uncontrollably, he had been a mercenary for many years, and it was very clear how difficult the "Flying Demonic Beast" was, a blood eagle with a wingspan of three meters was enough to collapse a ten-person mercenary group!
And the four in front of you... Hyung could understand how terrible it was when he used his knees.
This kind of thing can't be defeated at all!
The fat man felt that his legs and stomach were a little cramping, and he didn't come here to die! He was already babbling countless reasons to escape, and just as he was about to get up, a sudden explosion came from the top of his head!
"Smack!"
The fire lit up, and a burst arrow exploded into a large tree, and the flying branch fragments fell on Henry's head, and it was obvious that someone was trying to target the gargoyle, but it was difficult to hit...
"It's over, I can't even deal with the bow, this time it's dead. ”
Henry's eyes stared at the black shadow that was wandering through the woods, and his heart was cold, and his round body immediately crawled out of the low slope, looked up, and prepared to flee.
However, in the next second, a gargoylee happened to fly overhead, and the other party seemed to tilt his head to notice the fat man, and was about to change the direction of flight, but then the whole body was suddenly stunned, and the huge wings seemed to hit something, and instantly spun and fell into the distance!
"Click!"
"Boom!"
"Phew!"
It flies three times as fast as a war horse, and in this case, even the simplest bump is enough to inflict a severe blow on the body - the unlucky gargoyle parted its wings, and its body smashed into two giant trees in the air, and then its body broke, and with a "snap" with countless broken branches and leaves, it was planted three meters next to Henry...
The fat man, who had just taken three or four steps, had weak legs and sat on the ground, his lips trembled, and his eyes stayed on the fishing net hanging from the gargoyle's wings for a few seconds, but he burst out loud and foul:
"Fishing nets... W-This is okay for the?!"
Roddy couldn't hear Henry's wail, and not long after he rushed into the forest, he jumped off his horse, and then jumped up at the trunk of the tree next to him, drew his short bow, and turned around and shot several arrows at the gargoyle chasing into the forest!
Sodrore and the rest of the scouts below didn't slow down, and made a circle through the forest to where the scouts and the temple guards were.
At this time, the thirty puppets in the distance were still two hundred meters away from the edge of the woodland, and the sound of their footsteps shaking the mountains brought thick smoke billowing out, and the sound was quite huge.
But Sodrore remained unchanged from the issuer's order, and he didn't even look up at the gargoyle that swept overhead.
The soldiers, covered with weeds, jumped up at the command, and seventy or eighty people were already ready to go, and at this time quickly jumped on the horses that were hidden, and organized the ranks as fast as they could...
And when Akasha got up in a cloak full of weeds, Roddy happened to run not far away, he didn't stop, and directly raised his hand and threw it - "Mana Recovery Potion!"
Reaching out to catch the crystal bottle filled with magic fluctuations, Akasha raised her eyes, only to see the afterimage of Roddy disappearing into the trees...
The next moment, the gargoyle "whoosh" swept seven or eight meters above Akasha's head, and rushed towards Roddy with a strong wind!
Akasha shrunk her neck, a look of concern, but then she tightened her grip on the crystal bottle and turned and ran towards the cavalry - although the battlefield looked chaotic, everyone on Roddy's side knew exactly what they were going to do.
The four gargoyles were stopped by the fishing nets and hung up directly, and the remaining three did not dare to fly as recklessly in the forest as before—the galloping Roddy was not surprised by this result, he alternated between "leaping" and "galloping", and then shouted at the figure who was shooting arrows in the distance:
"Nata, rush to the right and lead over!"
Roddy's shortbow kept rising, and arrows shot out in the run, in this state, it is difficult for the arrows to have too high accuracy, but it effectively interferes with the gargoyle's flight path - in the dense jungle, if the gargoyle makes a mistake, the consequences will definitely be directly hit on the trunk of the tree!
Not far away, Nata turned around and started running with a blank face, her hand clenching the handle of the bow revealing her nervousness at this time... Having never faced a flying monster, her first three arrows failed to hit the target, but she was almost injured by the other party!
This kind of performance is really poor, and the shortcomings of inexperience are simply exposed.
But Nata didn't give up, but kept recalling what Roddy said to herself before, trying to calm her breathing, clenching her teeth, the frequency under her feet changed slightly, and she accelerated towards the woodland on the side...
On the other side, the puppet legions passing through the trap area fell into those camouflaged deep ditches one by one, and the originally menacing formation was immediately disintegrated and dragged back and forth.
And the cavalry at the edge of the forest raised their shields and cavalry spears under the orders of Sodrol, his long sword pointed into the air, and the order to "charge" has entered the countdown...
