Chapter 0072: Rookie
After midnight, a large team left the stucco village, stepping on the sound of noisy footsteps, and marched along the bumpy road in the direction of the rat village.
The Mursi priest of the Church of Bane stood on the wall of the village, like a fog shrouded in darkness, staring indifferently into the depths of the night.
Human settlements in the Black Forest are not far from each other. But the distance of only a few kilometers brought great trouble to the conquest of the Bane church.
"I don't understand how a teenager can command a fight?" Mursi muttered to himself in a low voice, and behind him were fifteen heavily armoured, powerful Black Knights of the Church.
Black Warriors don't have normal human feelings. They have been abducted by the church through various methods since they were seven or eight years old, cultivated with cruel training and terrible potions, and eliminated more than ninety percent of the weak in bloody trials, and the rest are the elite.
Morsi has always been proud of having such a powerful armed force, and today he decided to throw them into real combat. The relentless slaughter will make these Black Warriors stronger, and the evil god Bane will be happy.
But......
Even though Mursi had the Black Knights, he thought to himself if he still couldn't integrate the human forces of the Black Forest in a matter of days and gather them together to fight - this attack on the White Crow Village made him anxious, not to mention the more difficult task of integration.
"Go, go and kill those who dare to stand up to our lord, cut off their heads, dismember their bodies, and let their souls never be freed in remorse. Let them understand that the only way to do this is to obey Bane. ”
With a wave of his hand, fifteen Black Warriors leaped out from behind him. They mounted their horses and rumbled at the head of the ranks. Behind them, thirty rough bear goblins followed closely with large iron shields and maces.
As the most numerous monsters in the Black Forest, goblins are born with dark vision. They can see through the night for about 20 meters without barriers, which is an incomparable advantage for humans, and it is one of the reasons why humans do not go out at night.
The night is a world of monsters, and humans can only hide behind the walls and shiver.
The team of bear goblins was chaotic, muttering and yelling, very unhappy. Behind them, more goblin archers and spearmen were pushing and shoving each other, huddled together noisily.
The goblins didn't even have a basic formation, and they fought at every turn because they stepped on each other's feet. Whenever the team drags on, the lead bear goblin will roar and shout at the goblins to hurry up.
Zur. Grayskin rode a wolf on the side of the road. Behind it, a pale-skinned undead assassin followed. Faced with this chaotic march, the old goblin shaman seemed to be unconcerned.
If the goblin was too out of line, the old shaman would shake the staff in his hand and point it lightly. A dark green ray of light would strip the goblin of flesh and turn it into a skeleton—and the rest of the goblin would immediately be energetic and well-behaved.
But this kind of obedience will not last long, as long as you leave Zur. With the grayskin's gaze, the goblins immediately reverted to their old ways and continued to make noise—the greenskins seemed to never know how to learn their lessons, and never correct their mistakes.
But Zur. Greyskins were happy with this, at least the team didn't run away en masse, which was the good news - the most valuable lesson the goblins learned from the battle was that 'you must be outnumbered'.
As long as there are large numbers, it doesn't matter what strategy or tactics.
Now there are hundreds of goblins in the ranks, and there is no end in sight. They feel that they have enough of them, and they are full of morale.
"Hurry up, we'd better get to Storm Rat Village before dawn. I give you permission to do whatever you want after you win. In order to make his men run faster, the old goblin shaman made an unlimited promise.
Anything you want to do, it means you can kill, eat, and enjoy as much as you want. These are forbidden in Stucco Village, but not in the soon-to-be-conquered Rat Village.
The bear goblins were the happiest at all, and they strode forward with a constant 'Okok' roar. The goblin minions behind them also became excited, clutching their weapons and filling the road like a tidal wave, making louder noises and causing even more chaos.
In response, the Rat Village reacted quite quickly.
Humans do not have dark vision and must rely on torches for lighting after dark. But the organization of human beings allows them to exert their power more effectively, to achieve the effect that one plus one is greater than two.
After the enemy situation was reported, Zhou Qingfeng gave an order, and the capable and strong team quickly took action. More than a dozen 'descendants' put on their armor and mounted their horses, and left the village with their hooves rumbling. These people carry a small bucket of oil with them to prepare the barbecue.
Fire oil was originally intended for settlement defense, and any enemy who dared to storm the walls would have a headache for this thing. Once ignited, this grease will burn violently, causing high temperature and high heat, and it will not be extinguished when exposed to water and covered with soil. A little bit of it can burn through a person's bones.
It's pretty scary.
However, in the dark of night, how to use these oil well is a problem.
Leaving the settlement, Zhou Qingfeng immediately realized how unfavorable the night in the Black Forest was for humanity. The weather is freezing, the wind is howling, and these can still be overcome. But under the boundless darkness, human beings will easily lose their sense of direction, and they will not be able to see the road clearly.
In order to set up an ambush, Zhou Qingfeng wanted to bring more people. But his idea was immediately rejected by others. Actions in the dark do not require too many people, and too many are difficult to command.
Zhou Qingfeng wants to engage in a fire attack, and everyone agrees on this. But the fire attack he envisioned was the kind of 'Zhuge Liang burned the rattan armor', laying firewood and grass on the ground and igniting it with fire oil - as a result, everyone looked at him like a fool.
Only then did everyone know ......, it turns out that His Excellency Hugo is not omniscient and omnipotent, and there are times when he has a few blind ideas?
Going to the road in the middle of the night to lay firewood and grass is not feasible at all. Just the huge amount of firewood and grass, where to get it? Not to mention how to pave.
The female Druinar took care of the arson, and promised that it would be more efficient than laying firewood. Zhou Qingfeng still wants to ask what method is used? But seeing that everyone didn't mean anything about it, he didn't ask any more.
More than a dozen horsemen, extremely fast.
As a wizard's apprentice, Tambos has a raven as a pet. The raven can see things at night and fly out of two miles to provide night reconnaissance for the surprise team, and can provide at least ten minutes of early warning and basic navigation.
Zhou Qingfeng and the others relied on the raven to lead the way, and went about two kilometers forward, choosing a hillside next to the road as an ambush site.
For concealment, the torches were extinguished.
Zhou Qingfeng couldn't see anything immediately, he slowly dismounted, and could hear that there were still companions around him, but his eyes were as blind as if he were blind. After a while, a hand was pressed on his shoulder. He first smelled the aroma of 'Lover's Tears', but soon the aroma became stronger......
The aphrodisiac aura of the misty orchid is approaching him, ambiguous, soft, and makes people's hearts beat faster. A chuckling voice rang in his ears, "Boy, you're going to act like a rookie, aren't you really a chick?" ”
