Adulthood: War Chapter 47: The Surprise Attack of the Combine
Outer forest, still some time before dawn.
The Combine began to advance rapidly towards the central and outer forests in three directions, and their armies of humans, elves, and dwarves were all dispatched.
............
Middle and outer forests.
A goblin rider riding a black wolf ran out of the forest, and when he saw his comrades in front of him, he stepped forward to inquire about the status of the patrol.
"What's going on over there?"
"Nothing happened, it was very quiet. No signs of the enemy have been seen so far. Seeing that it was a companion's inquiry, the cavalryman truthfully informed his companion of the situation here.
"That's good. The cavalryman riding the black wolf nodded and said with a sigh of relief.
"Say, aren't they fighting us?" asked his companion, who stood beside the cavalry riding the black wolf, idlely.
"It's hard to say... I don't think humans won't fight us, because they hate us and we hate them. β
Hearing the question of his companion, the cavalryman riding the black wolf spread his hands and said meaninglessly.
"Let's go, go back to the camp. The cavalryman riding the black wolf greeted his companion beside him and was about to leave.
"Okay!quack?!"
His companion was about to say yes to leave with the cavalry riding the black wolf, but for some reason he let out a scream and a sharp pain came from his skull.
"What are you...?!" the cavalryman riding the black wolf turned his head to see that his companion had been accurately shot in the head by an arrow.
The next second, the partner with an arrow stuck in his skull fell weakly to the overgrown ground, and the blood slowly flowed from the skull, and there was something else besides blood.
Bad!
The cavalry riding the black wolf instantly galloped in the direction of the goblin army's garrison, the black wolf was fast but obviously far less fast than the speeding arrows.
Sou!
Behind the cavalryman, several voices broke through the air.
A short crossbow bolt easily pierced the horseman's right shoulder, and the sharp crossbow caught in the bones and flesh of the right shoulder.
"Ahhh
The cavalry didn't bother to check his injuries, so he could only urge the black wolf to speed up and run towards the garrison.
"Put!"
With this unfamiliar voice ordering, more than a dozen arrows and crossbow arrows were fired towards the goblin riding the black wolf again.
"Whoa!! hell! this hurts!!"
The cavalryman's chest was pierced mercilessly by an arrow and two crossbow arrows, and blood continued to flow from the wounds.
However, he no longer had any time to pay attention to his injuries, and his first task now was to report the news of the enemy's attack to the warrior commanders!
I don't know what happened to the other cavalry, whether they were also attacked by surprise like him.
While the goblin rider was still thinking, a flash of blue lightning struck the rider's back at an unbelievable speed behind him.
"Ahhhhh!!!h
The cavalry riding the black wolf let out a painful scream, and the next second he and the black wolf fell to the ground. Their bodies were scorched by lightning, and there was a slight amount of heat coming out of them when they looked closely.
Who's going to ...... Bring this news to the warrior commanders? Anyone can go...... Please.
"If you run away, you're in trouble. β
In the distance, a human army of more than 1,000 people was advancing unhurriedly towards the front, and at the front of the team, Charleser and the general who commanded the armies of Marlene and Solovi calmly led the army.
............
The Goblin Army is stationed, where most of the warriors, cavalry, and shamans are still resting in their tents.
A wooden lookout on which the goblin archers were watching the forest in the distance, but the slightest movement could not escape his eyes.
"Huh?! That's... Cavalryman: What did he do with his wounds?"
Suddenly, in the forest not far away, a wounded cavalryman rode out of the forest on a white wolf, and when he reached the gate of the garrison, the gate was opened by the soldiers guarding the garrison.
Seeing this, the cavalryman walked in without thinking, and when he saw the patriarch and the warrior commanders, he immediately trotted over.
The cavalryman nearly stumbled as he ran to the warrior chief, and then he told everyone present about the enemy raid in front of all the warrior chiefs and patriarchs.
"Newspaper... Report!The combined army of humans, elves, and dwarves has launched a general attack on our side in three directions!!"
Hearing the cavalryman's brief report, some of the warrior commanders looked surprised, some seemed to know about it, and some smiled eager to fight.
"Come here now, and discuss a plan to deal with their attack. β
When we warrior leaders didn't react, the patriarch put a map on a wooden table and said solemnly to the warrior leaders in front of him.
The map on the wooden table detailed the forests, rivers, mountains, and other locations in the verdant forest, and after gathering all the warrior chiefs, the patriarch began to quickly explain to us the plan for dealing with the attack of the combined forces.
"Captain Dutt and our ally Chibald fend off the enemy at the 'Three Forks', the only way for the enemy to reach here from the west. The patriarch pointed to the triangular bifurcated river on the map to the west, and said to the Warrior Captain Dute and the orc warriors led by Chibald.
"Understood!" Dutt and Chibald replied to the patriarch in unison.
The next second, they immediately gathered the members of their respective teams, and after organizing their teams, Captain DΓΌtt and Chibald set off together towards the Three Forks River to the west.
"You, you, you, and you stopped the enemy attack on the Lost Forest Trail, the main route for enemy troops to get here from due south. β
The patriarch then pointed to a dense forest some distance in front of the garrison, and said sternly to the dozens of warrior leaders beside him who had long been unable to hold back their belligerent desires.
"Leave it to us!" After hearing what the patriarch said, the warrior leaders who were ordered by the patriarch showed undisguised excited smiles.
The warrior leaders quickly gathered their teams, and when they were ready, they marched together towards the Lost Trail due south.
"You defend against the enemy in the 'muddy areas' on the east side, and if the enemy forces are to attack from the east side, they must pass through the muddy areas. Looking at the remaining warrior chiefs, the patriarch said, pointing to a muddy road on the map.
"Yes!"
The rest of the warrior leaders moved to their feet, rallying their warriors and heading out for the muddy ground on the east side of the forest.
Looking at the warrior leaders who have assembled their teams in their respective actions, I am also ready to assemble the team I lead.
"Wait a minute!
Just as I was about to assemble my team, the patriarch's serious voice stopped me as I was about to act.
When I heard the voice of the patriarch, I immediately walked over to the patriarch.
"Patriarch, may I ask you something?" I asked, a little puzzled, now is not the time to slow down, and the enemy may be about to hit here......
"You don't have to go to the muddy ground to fend off the enemy army, I want you to go to the 'green woodland' on the southeast side to prevent a surprise attack from the enemy. Can you do it?"
The patriarch pointed to a sparse forest on the southeast side of the central and outer forests, and said to me with a cautious expression.
"Understood, leave it to me, Patriarch!" I nodded to the Patriarch and said firmly, as I watched the Patriarch point to the location on the map.
"Okay, I'll leave it to you! But you have to promise me that if you really can't hold it, then fire a flare and I'll send someone to support you and your team. β
Hearing my decisive reply, the patriarch smiled happily and warned me not to make unnecessary sacrifices.
"Don't worry, I'll hold on to the green woodland!" I said solemnly to the patriarch with my right fist on my chest.
After speaking, I turned around and was about to assemble my team, only to find that the soldiers in my team were already standing behind me in a line.
"Captain Tut, the team is ready!" said a warrior standing at the front of the line as he walked up to me.
This fighter's name is Jot, usually when I am not in the team, he is the one who comes to organize the team, and I look at these fighters in front of me with a frank and resolute expression.
"Destination: Green woodland on the southeast side, let's go!"
With my command, I rode Fen and led the group behind me at full speed to the verdant woodland on the southeast side.
Β·
Looking at the back of me leading the team away, the patriarch exhaled deeply.
To say that in this defensive battle, the Sancha River, the Lost Forest Path, and the Muddy Lands can take advantage of the terrain of these locations to block the enemy's footsteps and perfectly resist their attacks.
But one of the more secluded arterial roads was the green woodland on the southeast side, where there was no topography or anything to help the guards.
Tut, can you hold off the enemy forces there, hold them off as they advance?
Let me see what you're really capable of!
