CHAPTER XII
(Chapter 2 arrives!) Thank you for the tip!
To explain, the journey will end in two or three chapters at most, so don't be too anxious)
"Qiang-poof-"
A strong gnoll man who was about 1.8 meters tall and had many traces of injuries on his body waved the two-handed slash sword in his hand, which was already full of gaps but could still complete the goal of killing, and with the help of a slash of momentum, he directly slashed a human mercenary in front of him with a one-handed long sword and a wooden shield.
"Whew!!"
Smelling the smell of human blood splashing on his body and even in his mouth, the strong gnolll warrior couldn't help but howl to the sky, and then his red eyes prepared to continue the attack on the other human mercenaries in the defensive line.
But before the gnoll could jump into the defensive line, with several "whoosh" sounds, several crossbow arrows directly came into contact with the strong gnoll!
It turns out that the monster of the gray iron rank can't rely on its own body to block the crossbow at all, even the crossbow arrows shot by the ordinary crossbow ignore the gray iron high-ranking jackal's body, and directly turn it into a hedgehog shape!
When the gnoll felt multiple sharp pains coming from his body, a long arrow pierced the gnoll's left eye and penetrated deep into his head, killing the gnoll man who was quite tenacious and did not die immediately, and then fell to the ground with a bang!
But at this time, there were no humans or gnolls on the battlefield who cared about this guy, and the human mercenaries who worked hard for their own lives and rewards resisted the attack of the gnolls, and the shouts and screams on the scene were endless.
However, the number of people on the human side is less than that of the gnolls after all, and although the mercenaries for the sake of compensation and small lives are superior to the other party in terms of organization and equipment, they are still much inferior to the other party in terms of fierceness.
In just a few tens of seconds, a third of the casualties on the human side that had been resisting with the help of fences and traps appeared, and the gnolls had begun to break through to the last line of defense constructed by the carriage.
"Whew!!" After the tall gnoll leader swung out his axe and beheaded the human mercenary who was trying to resist in front of him, the gnoll leader at the peak of gray iron ignored the half-foot-long bloody wound left by his opponent's temporary counterattack, and instead raised his axe and roared at the attacking gnolls around him.
- This is the leader of the gnolls boasting about his victory, and at the same time boasting of his prowess!
"Whew!!"
"Whew!!"
Watching his leader slash an enemy who was "strong" to two strong gnolls, the already fierce gnolls were inspired to roar and echo, and charged towards the camp even harder. And these jackals who seem to be as excited as ** don't know that the person who was just killed by their own leader is only the leader of a small mercenary group, and they probably can't even rank in the top 100 in the entire human camp.
Well, but for these gnolls whose wildness in their minds is far more than rational, they are stimulated by the bloody breath on the battlefield to kill// The brains behind the hope are estimated to be unable to distinguish such a complex problem!
"Commander XX is dead!"
"Dead is dead! If you don't stop these guys now, we'll definitely die!"
"Hold on! It's just a bunch of sneak up on the gnolls!"
The human side didn't panic much, except for the members of the mercenary group who had died and the leader of the regiment panicked, everyone else was fighting hard. Fortunately, now everyone has discovered that there are only a large number of gnolls attacking, and everyone is still very confident in defeating each other in the face of the combat power of the entire combined caravan, so even if the human mercenaries and caravan guards are now defeated, there is no such thing as retreat or surrender - of course, the most likely thing is that these mercenaries and guards also know that the word zĂ i captive does not exist in the minds of the jackals!
"Whoosh-whoosh-"
"Fighting !!"
But just as the gnolls began to jump onto the wagon and prepare to enter the camp, rows of crossbow arrows and long arrows killed and wounded a dozen of the fastest gnolls! And with a roar of rage, a crimson ordinary fighting qi slash flew out directly, splitting the leader of the gnolls who had just jumped into the carriage in two.
The leader of the gnolls who had reached the peak of gray iron died in such a daze!
Until his death, the leader of the gnoll, who had just become the leader of the tribe, did not know that the combined caravan he was targeting was guarded by a strong man with a red bronze rank!
Of course, as a gnolls who used force to wrest tribal power from the previous gnoll leader, it would not understand why the previous gnoll leader who still had some brains did not dare to attack the big caravans, but only those small caravans of a dozen or dozens of people
"Quick! Support the front!" The bronze warrior who was the backbone of the caravan didn't care about a gray iron rank gnoll leader at all, and after killing him with a fighting slash, he was a little anxious when he saw that there were still gnolls coming up, shouted loudly and rushed to the front of the entire front, and the caravan guards and mercenaries also rushed over.
"Our reinforcements are coming!!"
"Great! Those damn monsters are dead!!"
Seeing a large number of heavily armed caravan guards and mercenaries coming over under the leadership of the bronze warrior, the dozens of mercenaries and caravan guards who were still struggling to support were overjoyed.
The opposite of the mercenaries and guards who were cheering and shouting were the gnolls!
After the death of the leader of his own tribe, the gnolls in the whole scene were obviously in chaos, but in this kind of anxious battle now, it is impossible for the gnolls to escape in time!
Not to mention, if the gnolls who have lost their leader now want to retreat, there is no leader to give orders!
So when the bronze warrior wearing a suit of enchanted steel armor smiled and waved the battle axe in his hand, and took the lead in leading people to rush into the camp of the gnolls on the battlefield, the gnolls ushered in a bloody storm.
In just one shot, more than a dozen gnolls were slashed into dozens of pieces by the red bronze warriors who burst into fighting spirits with two enchanted battle axes during the charge!
"Click-click-"
"Woo-"
Watching the red bronze warrior slash and kill the miscellaneous jackals like the Three Kingdoms military generals Kai Wushuang, and after several brave (or red-eyed) gnolls were turned into broken corpses by the other party, the gnolls who had fallen into a state of chaos all let out a whimper of fear. And when nearly two hundred heavily armed caravan guards and mercenaries followed the bronze warriors into the battlefield, the gnolls, who were at an absolute disadvantage in terms of quantity and quality, collapsed directly!
I don't know which one took the lead, the gnolls on the battlefield quickly turned around and began to flee, and the scene of direct retreat made the mercenaries and guards who were fighting hard with these gnolls a little incomprehensible.
Is this the same gnoll who almost killed himself just now?
"Kill! Kill all these gnolls!!"
But fortunately, there was still a quick response, and in the shouts of mercenaries with grief and anger on their faces, those surviving mercenaries and caravan guards reacted.
"Revenge for the Commander!!"
"Kill all these gnolls!!"
After the mercenaries and caravan guards who came to their senses looked at the gnolls who fled with their backs to them, the mercenaries and caravan guards who had just lost their comrades, friends and even relatives had red eyes, unless they were seriously injured and had difficulty moving, otherwise even the wounded people were frantically chasing and killing those escaped gnolls.
As for the mercenaries and caravan guards who have just been reinforced, not to mention, chasing and killing the fleeing enemy is a small risk and big benefit in that world, everyone is happy to hunt down the gnolls, and cut down the gnolls who are left behind one by one because they are injured and old and weak!
Although some gnolls turned around and resisted in the process, but in the case of absolute superiority in force and force, this kind of resistance at most made the rebels die more miserably.
ââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââ
At the edge of the camp, the newly arrived Knight of Tamon and Rhodes looked at the situation in front of them, looked at each other for a moment, and then did not engage in the pursuit of the gnolls.
For the Tamon Knights, helping the caravan was only a condition for joining the team before, and after seeing the situation that the gnolls had been beaten on the scene now, the Tamon Knight was certainly not interested in doing this kind of work.
"Sure enough, it's scum"
After seeing this situation, Rode, who was watching coldly, thought with some disdain.
Although Rhodes also estimated that these gnolls could not pose a threat, the current situation of being killed and fleeing directly after being killed is indeed beyond Rhodes's pre-estimate.
"Fortunately, there are quite a few complete souls harvested"
After looking at this scene in front of him, Rhodes, who was still holding the idea of making a move, could only comfort himself in his heart, at least there are at least a lot of gnolls and human souls, and it is not empty-handed!
The Tammon Knight and Rhodes stood aside and watched for a few minutes, and after receiving the news of the victory of the repelled gnolls, the leaders of the caravan who were still waiting for the news in the center of the camp were in good spirits, and the temporary leader of the combined caravan and a few brave merchants also ran to the front line and began to check the relevant battle situation and losses.
When these people arrived, the Tammon Knight left without saying a few words, and the leader of the combined caravan had to send off the Tamon Knight and Rhodes who had not helped with a smile on their faces, and turned around and returned to the direct camp.
After all, the identity and strength of the Tamon knights are there, although they were not able to catch up with the battle, but they also came to help, in this case, of course, the temporary caravan leader can't say anything like "you're late", and even politely ask the Tamon knights and his party to return.
After repelling the gnolls, the caravan's camp remained on alert throughout the night until the sun rose!
