Chapter 58: Sometimes Rules Don't Work (Part II)
Seeing that the others disagreed with her, Siggli turned to ask Shaman Chen.
"Teacher, even if those caravan owners and mercenaries are not clean, those guys below are just errands, and maybe some of them are innocent civilians. You see that those who hid under the car and knelt down to surrender were also killed by them, it is clear that they are chaotic soldiers like bandits, should we ~ go chivalrous and save them. ”
Chen Xuyuan carefully looked at the battlefield situation not far away, and did not have a hot head, and suddenly made some "righteous" move to order the rescue of people.
Instead, he frowned and said: "If you attack now, as long as you escape a few, it will attract a large army to encircle and suppress, and even we ourselves will fall into it." Don't make a move yet, I'll see what happens. ”
......
With a "boom", flames burst into several trucks on the trade road, and fragments of goods and sundries burst out in all directions.
The set fire of the canvas tent and the wooden material crackled as they burned.
This made the group of guys hiding behind the bunker of the truck scared, because not everyone could calmly face the overwhelming spell attacks of the wizards accompanying them.
As a matter of fact.
Many civilians living in rural farms have never been out of their hometowns for dozens of miles in their lives.
It is only during the market that I listen to the travelers and bards who come and go, and occasionally tell the tales of powerful wizards who can destroy a town by themselves.
Even during the day, the continuous flashes and explosions of spells are extremely dazzling, as if they were fighting a firearms battle during World War I.
It's just that the two sides are flying arrows and spears in battle, and spells and axes are flying all over the sky.
Before.
After Giles led the army of the Cudugu people to capture the Barony of Valen.
That Rutuba general was really very proficient in strategy, and he didn't care about Chen Xuyuan and the others who escaped from the territory at all. In his opinion, even if he didn't get rid of a few little mice, such a big military operation would not be able to hide how long the Kaom Kingdom would last.
Therefore, he immediately arranged a large-scale raid on the western defense line, taking advantage of the night to pull out a large number of rear castle groups and villages and towns that provided logistics, cut off the supply of the entire western fortress defense line, and opened up the internal route to attack the Kaom Kingdom.
Giles and his men, who had retired successfully, were also released by the army with a large number of golden tickets and remuneration.
General Rutuba even said bluntly to his subordinates in private: When a Belt and Road Party makes huge profits, there will be thousands of Belt and Road Parties in a nation ready to move.
But Giles was before leaving.
Still at the celebration banquet, the red-eyed red army man who was jealous of the windfall kept pulling a big bowl of wine, and was poured into the ground by those jars of yellow urine soup, and he had some gastrointestinal discomfort for several days, so he lay down in the carriage to rest.
But now at this time, he has to go crazy and fight hard!
However, his fifth-order wild road kung fu still has some ability to deal with unruly mountain bandits and bandits, but when he encounters a regular army with a degree of advance and retreat, he is about to take a break!
"Ahhh!!hhh
A few of his men on the left, who were in charge of resisting, suddenly shouted in panic.
It turned out to be several palm-sized throwing axes, whistling and flying into his companion's body, the blood like freshly squeezed strawberry juice from a juicer—red and juicy.
Most of the cavalry of the Kaom Kingdom always like to use throwing axes more than throwing spears, because they are easy to carry and easy to use~
Giles couldn't care less about the distress, and consumed a few new spell items that he had just bought from other merchants.
"Boom, boom" a few times.
On the ground fell several horsemen who had fallen from their startled horses.
However, because the regular army was fully armoured, most of them were injured by spells in the front and did not die, and some cavalry even skillfully controlled the war horse to stand upright, blocking the explosion of the upgraded [Fireball Technique].
There were charred stumps scattered on the ground - horses and humans.
Not every fireball hits the enemy accurately.
The mercenaries and cavalry on both sides will use some control defects in the spell items and scrolls, after all, these people are not professional spellcasters who can guide the direction of spells.
The explosive upgraded fireball technique was not only as powerful as a grenade, but also billowed black smoke from all over the ground.
This smoke can't cover Giles for long, after all, the cavalry is much higher in number and action than them.
But fortunately, this mountain forest is flat land connected to the mountains, and there are some uneven terrain and trees along the way, so you can still fight and escape.
Although part of the strong and agile guys, in time to avoid throwing axes and throwing spears.
But there were still some who were shot through the legs, feet, and backs with bows and arrows, and had to be abandoned on the road, and then chopped off their heads by the galloping knights, who then pulled their heads to show their bravery.
The jungle is always the first to weed out the sluggish and weak, and the rest are the strong.
The reason why they have been able to hold out for so long.
Mainly because the main force of the army has gone to hunt down the leading bosses with conspicuous targets.
Giles and they were able to deal with the dozens of cavalry behind them for a moment and a half, and after they dodged the attack, they would also use every desperate counterattack to bring some damage and confusion to those cavalry and the horses under them.
He glanced at the two ruby rings on his right hand, and the magic fluorescence emitted by them had completely dimmed - this meant that the entire 20 third-order [Fireball Technique] had been used up.
But.
The emerald ring of the [Group Swiftness Technique] on his left hand still has some energy, which is the capital to support their escape in front of them.
But just as they were fleeing in a hurry, one of the cavalry wizards behind them suddenly pointed in front of them, and from a distance of fifty meters, he cast an increased range of [Tar Ground] - the effect of this thing is even more slimy than that of a swamp and muddy ground.
The last of Giles' men rushed in, and immediately struggled as if they had fallen into a pool of semi-solidified cement.
The wizard was pleased to see the effect of his spell, he waved at the other cavalrymen, motioned for most of them to whistle on both sides, and then kept chanting a spell to prepare, unleashing the next fireball.
When the time comes.
He can make everyone who falls into the range of the tar spell become a "big roasted living person".
There is no way forward, and there is no way back.
This would have left them surrounded on all sides, and they would have finally been in a desperate situation.
A few breaths later.
A blazing wall of flames rose from the tar-ground area, and then the place erupted again—the last fleeting sound of swords fighting.
After a few orders from the undamaged cavalry and other colleagues who had been left to clean up the battlefield, most of them quickly trotted away on horseback, chasing the other fleeing caravans.
