245 Battle of the Tea Plantation III
The twilight was getting thicker, and the sea breeze was carrying a large amount of water vapor, which was cold and piercing, as sharp as a knife.
When building the farm, Donald took into account the possibility of being invaded, most of the walls were built along the edge of the cliff, which was extremely difficult to climb, and it was because of this meticulousness and perseverance that the situation in front of him became relatively calm, and only needed to guard the gate with heavy troops, which could resist more than ninety percent of the invasion.
Hansen, the instructor of the Farm Guard, is the master officer of the "Storm Regiment" of the Millennium Empire, and he is also the strongest soldier in the Guardian Force, with rich combat experience, and he can rest assured that he is the commander-in-chief of the battlefield.
Gradually, the time came to the second half of the night, and the temperature was lower.
The heavy armor can defend against sword slashing, and even resist the accumulation of bows and arrows, but it can't resist the pervasive cold wind, and the armor is like a piece of solid ice that constantly devours the heat in the body, cold and heavy, pressing on the person's body, making it difficult to breathe.
"This damn sea breeze, I bet my knees are rusty, and whether or not I can stand up tomorrow is a question!" a warrior leaned against the corner of the watchtower, his body shivering involuntarily.
"I'm too, it's hell of the season, it's unbearable, and I miss the old fireplace at home, and a comfy chaise longue, and a back Polar Bear blanket from Burlington Market, it's so comfortable. ”
"Hey, I've got to get a pot of warm rum, the strongest. ”
"It's not bad to think about, but then again, why would the boss bother us so much? Why build such a well-defended farm? Who would dare to attack the Louis family around Faro City this season?!
"You don't have to worry about that, the boss offers three times the salary of each night watchman, do you want to do it, there are still a lot of people in our team who want to do it? I am going to get the highest salary ever this month, Mary must be very happy to know it, and little Hank's tuition at the Knight Academy can be half of it. ”
Just as the two were chatting, there was an abrupt friction sound outside the watchtower, like something rubbing hard against the iron sheet, this sound was mixed with the howling sea breeze, and if they didn't distinguish carefully, it was easy to miss the past, and they didn't bother to pay attention to it in normal times, however, after being repeatedly emphasized by the boss and the captain of the guard today, they raised their vigilance.
Through the thin starlight, the two night watchmen exchanged a look of surprise and reacted differently, one quietly sticking his head out to observe, the other holding the cold iron whistle in his mouth, holding his breath and preparing to attack.
Burst!
An icy dagger burrowed through the gap between the helmet and the neck guard, the blade completely avoiding the edge of the metal and cutting into the throat, displaying the art of assassination with extreme precision, and blood poured out of the gap and was dispersed by the strong sea breeze.
Bounce, stab, pull, all the action was done in an instant, only from the imperfect offensive line of the black shadow, this ambush may have been outside his plan.
The next moment, the moment the dagger stabbed at another night watchman, the latter only had time to shrink his neck and squirt out in one breath.
Honk!
The sirens pierced the quiet night, the makeshift camp stationed near the gate blew up, and the guards came out of the tents one after another, fully armoured, and the results of the militarized training were fully reflected at this moment, and these guards did not rush to the place where the sirens sounded, but rushed to their posts.
The soldiers in charge of free guard and support surrounded the watchtower, dozens of torches illuminated the surroundings, bows and arrows held bows and arrows to watch intently, and a small team led by shield axe men slowly searched upwards.
In the courtyard of the farm, in front of a bright lamp, Charlie put down the pen in his hand, and on the table was a failed scroll, he quickly packed his things, extinguished the light, and disappeared into the darkness.
At the same time, sparks lit up outside the wall, and the farm guards were surprised to find a team of up to 500 men, not only fully armed, but also carrying a lot of improvised siege equipment, charging towards the gate.
"Lord, this is a real army!" murmured in the darkness of the night.
"Everyone obey the order, No. 1 arrow, prepare to ~~~~~!!" On a makeshift command platform behind the stone wall, Hansen raised his command knife and swung it forward!
On the other hand, Tyr, the commander of this sneak attack, was very surprised, the first surprise was that the "Daredevil" Moritz actually missed! He is the most famous killer in the Faro Dungeon, based on the latest Princeson system in the Arcane Ring, and according to the strength he has exposed, the Mercenary Guild estimates that his personal level is as high as level 11, leading the killer group in Faro City.
The second surprise was why the farm reacted so quickly, as if it had fallen headlong into an enemy trap.
Moritz was thinking about it, and when he heard the loud shouting of the commander on the opposite side, he couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth, and said in his heart, you just pretend!
In the next moment, thousands of fireworks shot out from the stone wall of the farm, like a phoenix spreading its wings, and at least more than 50 split arrows spit out angry tongues of fire, each arrow split into seven in the air, turning into a roaring energy storm, sweeping the area in front of the gate of the tea house in a circle of dozens of meters.
Moritz was stunned for a moment, and then his lieutenant threw him to the ground, and despite the fall, his head still looked forward stubbornly, and his heart was filled with endless remorse.
Underestimated the enemy.
With a muffled snort, the team of more than 500 people fell down in batches as if they had been cut wheat, and Moritz's heart was dripping blood.
The third surprise was how their archers were equipped with so many enchanted arrows?!
Bow and arrow shooting is common on the battlefield, it is a proven and effective bow and arrow tactic countless times, however, who has ever seen the shooting of enchanted arrows?!
Luxury is luxury, but the effect is surprisingly good, a round of arrow rain shot at least 60 unlucky eggs, another nearly 200 people were injured to varying degrees, nearly half of them lost their combat effectiveness in a round of arrow rain, the results are remarkable.
"Deploy a defensive formation!" the surviving battlefield commander waved a banner, and the shield warriors of the team raised their shields one after another, creating a shield array to protect the other troops behind the shields.
"Arrow No. 3, elevation angle 70 degrees, projectile!" another command was issued.
The archer throws a heavy arrow, and after flying into the air, it falls to the ground faster and faster under the complex action of wind and gravity.
This was a regular tactic to break the shield array, and although the shield swordsman raised his shield into the air to meet the rain of falling arrows, it could not hide the shortcomings of the formation, and the soldiers behind the shield array had no shelter and could only instinctively dodge falling arrows.
In the second volley, about 50 more fighters were killed.
After a wave of strong charges, the team of 500 people finally rushed to the stone wall, the number of people was reduced by half, one by one siege ladders were hung on the stone wall, the iron hook at the top was stuck on the edge of the stone wall, and several strong men below forcibly dragged the ladder, so that the people above could not easily push it down, and the two shield swordsmen raised their shields to resist the arrows fired from the heights.
With the assistance of siege ladders, the three-meter-high stone wall is tantamount to a small hurdle for this group of high-level warriors, and they can step up in three steps and two steps.
In the rear, Tyr, guarded by the heavily shielded swordsmen, let out a venting roar: "Charge me! Kill them all!"
"Mage Regiment, prepare!, target ...... under the stone wall," Hansen said in a terrifying command.
The other party actually has a mage group?! Tyr can't believe it at all, even they don't have a mage group, how can this kind of farm guard have it? The information is seriously wrong!
However, above the stone wall, orange-red fireballs shone with a vague light, especially dazzling in the darkness.
"Put!"
"Phew!"
Two voices came out of the mouths of different people, and the darkness attached to the command platform suddenly took on a human form, and a dagger stabbed straight into the neck of Hansen, who was observing the battle outside the wall, quickly and silently, and the latter was unprepared.
At this moment, the guards around Hansen couldn't even blink an eye, and another black shadow suddenly appeared, drew his sword, and slashed.
Thunder shines, fleeting.
A white arc of light was pulled out of the air, and one arm fell to the ground, and the dagger he held was stuck straight into the hardwood countertop, and then the head was rushed away by the hot blood and rolled to the ground.
Under the assassin's extremely fast movements, the blood flow was also extremely surging, and after the blood rushed through the skull, it spewed out a column of blood nearly three meters high, which was shattered by the sea breeze and dispersed into a blood mist in the sky.
Only then did everyone see the masked man holding the Tang knife, who was also the mysterious big boss described by the boss, the major shareholder of the tea house.
Before the war, the entire farm guard team was shocked by this mysterious big boss, only for his generosity and generosity, magic items not only mean wealth, but also power and power, not anyone can just take out dozens of magic scrolls, take out a large number of enchanted arrows, at least Donald can't do it.
Now, they are more convinced of his prowess, and in the hands of a killer, they saved Hansen and killed their opponents with one blow, and no one else can do it.
A curious person jumped off the assassin's scarf and saw the devil's tattoo on his cheek, and exclaimed, "Oh my God! It's Moritz the Daredevil!"
At this time, a large number of third-order fireballs poured down under the stone wall, and one by one the firelight exploded, illuminating the mountain as bright as day, and the enemy soldiers wailed in the flames and were scorched, and a small number of soldiers who rushed up the stone wall were held back by their own guards, and they were killed one by one.
Hansen swallowed his saliva and said respectfully, "Thank you, boss!"
At this time, Donald and the management of the farm appeared one after another, and looking at their disheveled appearance, I am afraid that they have just climbed out of bed.
Donald asked curiously, "What Daredevil?" I think I heard this name just now, I guess I heard it right, right?"
