Chapter 745: A Failed Temptation
The search for the barbarian camp went well, and it took little effort to find it.
If the orc village is just a shoddy cottage, then the barbarian camp is much more exquisite, at least the walls and buildings are still relatively regular.
Of course, there are no more barbarians in the barbarian camp here, because this place has long been defeated by humans. After all, the barbarians in the camp are only second-order strength, and in terms of the overall combat strength of the human race now, it is really not enough.
Only a handful of people now exist in the camp, who are stationed in the camp and are in charge of the barbarian camp.
Although the people here don't know Cheng Yang, they know that Cheng Yang has come to Egypt.
So after Cheng Yang revealed his identity, they didn't hesitate at all, and immediately began to act according to Cheng Yang's instructions.
As with the orc village, the manipulation of the barbarian camp is also done by special sacrifices, and the barbarian group has fewer legal professions than the orc group, which also makes the status of the sacrifice more noble. However, now that this sacrificial profession has been transferred to the human heads, its importance is not highlighted, and their greatest role is to manipulate the teleportation arrays in these camps.
After some fiddling, Cheng Yang had to admit the fact that the barbarian camp and the orc village could not teleport to each other.
Although Cheng Yang had expected this result, Cheng Yang was still a little disappointed. However, this is not to say that the barbarian camp is worthless, and when Luofeng City counterattacks Africa in the future, it will naturally be able to play a major role.
Cheng Yang temporarily put aside the barbarian camp and returned to the fortress.
These two fortresses were given a new name by Cheng Yang, Huangquan Fortress.
In Cheng Yang's definition, the Huangquan Fortress is not only the two fortresses in front of him, but also all the fortress groups that will be built around the Suez Canal in the future. There is no doubt that this is a major fortification, and the project is huge. It is the first place in Fengcheng.
Although Cheng Yang went out for a long walk, there were still only about 20 people in each fortress, and it was still a little tight to defend the two stone bridges.
Time passed slowly, and after half an hour, the total number of people in the two fortresses reached more than eighty, but at this time, on the opposite side of the Suez Canal, there was a cloud of dust.
Egypt has a dry climate, and although it is close to the sea, there is no shortage of sand and dust on the ground, even after the end of the world. This has not changed in the slightest. What's even stranger is that even if the ground is covered with Gundam trees, if you cut down the trees, the place will quickly turn into desertification.
Cheng Yang stood on the wall of the tall fortress, looking at the smoke and dust raised in the distance, the corners of his mouth flashed with a sneer, if these barbarians didn't know what to do, he wouldn't mind giving the other party a dismount.
Of course, that's what he'd rather see. Why not be able to destroy the enemy's living forces with the help of the fortress?
The huge cloud of smoke and dust instantly swept up to the opposite bank of the Suez Canal, and the strong wind it blew changed the direction of the wind on the river, and the foul smell blew towards the east bank. made Cheng Yang depressed.
"Lord, these guys have stopped." Zhou Jie stood next to Cheng Yang and said with regret in his tone.
Cheng Yang smiled and said, "Stop, just stop and see what tricks they want to play." Anyway, now the eastern part of Egypt is occupied by us. If the other party wants to grab food, it depends on whether he has the ability. ”
"Is there a way for these guys to survive this Yellow Spring River?" Zhou Jie asked to himself.
Cheng Yang said: "How do I know? But according to my estimate, they will be able to make it through. It will also come at a great cost. ”
While the two were talking, the smoke and dust in front of them dissipated, revealing the dense cavalry inside.
These cavalry are absolutely shocking, a huge ironclad beast with a head of three meters high, and a large man with a height of two or three meters on its back, all of them are carrying heavy swords in their hands, and they know that their combat effectiveness is amazing at a glance.
Although the barbarians were tall compared to humans, Cheng Yang and the others had already seen larger orcs, and compared to the giant orcs who were often four or five meters tall, these barbarians were simply like coming from Lilliputian.
At the same time, the appearance of these barbarians is not much different from that of humans, except for the fact that they are a little larger and have a little rougher face. In addition, the equipment they wore was also very simple, except for the horse chopping knives in their hands that seemed to have traces of artificial carving, they were actually wearing animal skins and other armor, which was very in line with the title of barbarians, and it was indeed very barbaric.
With the help of the mirror of the evil eye, Cheng Yang could see the thick shock on the faces of those barbarians, they didn't seem to understand why humans were able to build a fortress on the east side of the Suez Canal so quickly, and their army was still within the national border.
Soon, the leader of this barbarian army saw some clues, and said with a hint of mockery: "These human beings are really bold enough, and they dare to send only a few dozen people to guard the fortress, this is simply looking for death!" ”
A slightly younger guy on the right side of the barbarian leader also laughed and said, "I guess these humans think that we don't dare to attack the city when we see the fortress, this is a suspicious plan!" But they take us for fools, right? With a few dozen people trying to scare us off? ”
One of the barbarian generals to the left of the leader said, "Chief, I think we should be careful, if these humans deliberately set a trap to lure us into the bait, wouldn't we have fallen into the trap?" ”
The barbarian on the right glanced at the man and said, "Olos, you're too cowardly, aren't you?" How strong can humans be? This world has only entered the stage of evolution for more than a year, with the little strength they have accumulated, how can they compete with us? ”
"Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, this is always true." The barbarian said.
"Chief, what do you say!" The barbarian on the right ignored Olos and spoke directly to the leader.
The barbarian leader kept frowning at the fortress, and only after hearing the barbarian's questioning did he speak: "Whether there are traps in here or not, we can't stay here and stand still. We are mighty savages, how can we be intimidated by tiny humans? However, we can't be reckless, first send some personnel to test and figure out the details of the other party before making a decision. ”
Olos seemed to have known that the leader would say this, and his expression was indifferent after hearing this. But the barbarian who had been advocating for the destruction of the humans in the fortress was a little depressed, and didn't the leader laugh at the humans in the fortress at first? That's a quick change, isn't it?
He didn't know that this barbarian leader, though arrogant, was not a reckless man. If it weren't for that, he would have grown all the way to the present, and he would have died no longer knowing how many times. And this time their actions were so important, if this leader was a straw bag, the barbarian high-ranking would not have sent him in charge.
The barbarian leader looked at his two subordinates, and then said to the barbarian who had been advocating an attack on the fortress, "Judd, you lead a thousand barbarian elites to charge into battle. Attack the northern fortress and see if you can take it in one fell swoop. ”
"Rest assured, boss!" Judd suddenly looked excited, he liked to torture and kill humans too much, watching a person's head fly, he could get the greatest satisfaction in his heart.
Immediately Judd selected a thousand troops from his command, he was not stupid, the thousand cavalry selected were all archers, and he also had a strong long-range suppression ability against the archers on the city wall.
"Rush!" Judd's muffled voice rang out over the battlefield, and a thousand barbarian cavalry pressed forward like a heavy tank.
Such a size, such a speed. Even pre-apocalyptic tanks can't compare!
The barbarian cavalry quickly rushed onto the stone bridge, which was about forty or fifty meters wide and could only accommodate about twenty barbarian cavalry at a time, but fortunately these cavalry were very well coordinated, although the personnel were almost next to each other. But at the speed of this charge, they didn't even collide with each other.
Judd rushed to the front, his excited roar never stopped. And he is a profession that can be used near and far, and his melee ability is not weak. At the same time, it has a strong long-range attack ability.
With the size of a barbarian, the bow and arrow they wield are slightly smaller than the orc lizardmen, but these bows and arrows are very delicately polished. The range is not low either.
In Judd's mind, even if all the humans in the fortress are archers and have a height bonus of the city wall, they shouldn't be weaker than each other in terms of attack range, as long as they are in the same range, they can be weaker than these humans?
Even if the opponent's range is longer, as long as the attack power can't inflict instant damage on them, they are not afraid at all, because in their team, there are two barbarian sacrifices, and the barbarian sacrifices with healing abilities.
However, just as they stepped onto the stone bridge, which was less than two kilometers long, a round of arrows was fired from the opposite side, and these arrows accurately hit dozens of barbarian cavalry, and these cavalry were instantly beaten to blood.
After Judd was dumbfounded for a moment, he immediately understood that this fortress also had an arrow tower, the arrow tower of the beast clan!
"Damn orcs!" Judd cursed in his heart, the barbarians had also crossed paths with orcs, and he naturally knew what the orcs' arrow towers represented in the newly remodeled world.
However, Judd did not lose confidence, the stone bridge was only about two kilometers, and although the attack power of those arrow towers was strong, they still failed to kill the cavalry under his command. They had been healed by a barbarian sacrifice and had regained their full health.
However, the barbarian priest was unable to use the Mass Healing skill for at least five minutes because of his use of the Mass Healing Skill.
Every time these orcs slammed inwards for almost a hundred meters, they would be attacked by a round of arrow towers.
The orc sacrifice didn't dare to shoot easily, but let the injured barbarian cavalry constantly change positions, trying not to be attacked by the other party for a second time. After the number of people in hand reaches a certain number, the barbarian sacrifice will be carried out for group healing.
In fact, the strength of this group of barbarian cavalry is only the peak of the third order or the early stage of the fourth order, and their own blood is not enough to resist the attacks of those archers on the arrow tower. But since the ironclad beasts under their crotch belonged to their mounts, under this kind of health superposition, the vitality of these barbarians was at least more than doubled, and it was difficult for those archers on the arrow tower to kill them instantly.
Although the barbarians kept changing their positions, under the sniping of the arrow tower, the barbarian cavalry that rushed in front fell one by one, and died together with the mounts under their crotch.
Although the number of deaths of these barbarians is not much, because they are all cavalry charging in front, it suddenly has a great impact on the charge of the cavalry behind, and the speed is also reduced instantly, and many of them have ironclad beasts directly hit the corpse in front, the result is really bleak enough, although they did not die immediately, but they fell to the ground, and the cavalry behind continued to rush up, and they were directly trampled to death.
As a barbarian powerhouse at the peak of the fourth order, Judd himself has a combat power comparable to that of the early fifth order, and his crotch mount is also an iron armored beast in the early fifth order, and its blood volume is even comparable to that of the demonic beast in the middle of the fifth order.
In the face of multiple attacks from the Arrow Tower, although his HP dropped a lot, it was not enough to kill. He had only anger in his heart at the moment, and he was bent on destroying the humans in this fortress.
It's no wonder that he is so angry, he has always been the only one who tortured and killed humans, how could he be so aggrieved as he is now, let humans attack, and he didn't even have a chance to fight back.
Seeing Judd rush to a position only a thousand meters away from the fortress, if he used the effect of the ironclad charge, he was confident that he would attack the target seven or eight hundred meters away with his bow and arrow. As long as he charges forward for another two or three hundred meters, it will be time for him to take revenge.
Although his HP had decreased at this time, he didn't care, because there was a barbarian sacrifice behind him, and he only needed one healing spell from the other party to get his HP back up immediately.
"Sons! Kill me! Kill all these humans, and I'll invite you to drink when you go back!" Judd yelled excitedly.
But just as his words fell, two arrows shot like meteors, Judd thought it was an attack launched by the arrow tower, and he didn't even have the consciousness to dodge, so he was directly hit by these two arrows in the body, he only felt a pain in his abdomen, and his consciousness quickly faded.
One of his last thoughts was why human archers have such high attack power. Even if he gets a tenfold bonus to the Arrow Tower, it's impossible to directly empty his health?
He didn't know that these two arrows were not attacks after the tower bonus, but ordinary attacks of archers.
Judd was not the only barbarian who died at this moment, including dozens of barbarian cavalry that followed. Almost instantly, dozens of corpses of barbarian cavalry lay on the ground.
The nightmare of the barbarian cavalry began, and with the overgrown corpses on the bridge ahead, it became extremely difficult for them to charge. Although those ironclad beasts were powerful, they were still very skilled when they ran among the uneven corpses.
But at this time, the cavalry in the rear could not see the situation in front of them, and they were still charging forward, and for a time the barbarians on the entire bridge were in chaos. (To be continued.) )
