Chapter 61: Between Wolves and Tigers
Morey's hands were steady and focused, in stark contrast to him, Ciro, although he was not too nervous because of the effect of the potion, he still kept an eye on the city walls and the movement of the back village, and could not remain calm in such an environment.
"Shots were fired on the walls, and the treemen came. ”
"There seems to be a fight in the back, and I heard Cao Lu's voice and the screams of monsters. ”
"No matter what happens, we must do a good job of the teleportation array to survive. "Siro, open the remaining boxes." ”
"Yes, yes. Ciro was busy in his hands, but he couldn't help but look up, and the shaking canopy could already be seen outside the city walls, and it was a tall tree man approaching. However, as soon as they get close to a certain position, a burst of gunfire will ring out from the walls, and then they will fall one by one. If Morey hadn't discovered the weakness of the Treants just now, the three warriors would definitely not have been able to stop them with a few guns.
"Well, what the hell is going on? I don't know what has become of the villages and towns we used to be. I think it's very dangerous. Ciro couldn't help but chatter.
"The green light was endless, and the surrounding places must have been included. In Chinese parlance, it means that there is more evil and less luck. "Although every village has militia and is equipped with air guns, if you can't detect the weaknesses of the tree people in time, I'm afraid it will be difficult to eliminate them quickly." And the most dangerous enemy is probably not the Treants. ”
"You mean?" Silo looked at the location of the back village, and just in time to see Cao Lu with a group of villagers coming to them, many of them were injured, and there was a young man with black hair and black eyes in the team.
Cao Lu didn't bother to talk to Morey, and first commanded a dozen or so young militiamen with guns to go up to the wall to support the three soldiers guarding the city, and then brought other people, old and young, to Morey's formation.
"Mr. Morey, this is the village chief Goyal here, and the militia captain. Cao Lu pointed to an old man and a middle-aged man beside him, then glanced at the young man and said, "This is Li Huanxiang, the leader of the rural work research team in the neighborhood." He was supposed to go back to Greenwood City yesterday, and when he heard that we were coming, he was waiting for us here. ”
"There has just been a monster attack in the village, and there are many casualties. Cao Lu said.
"yes. Goyal wiped away tears as he spoke. The middle-aged man also said hatefully, "The good cows, sheep, chickens and ducks have all become murderous monsters, and half of the people in the village are dead." Fortunately, Team Leader Li is here, otherwise our village would be finished. ”
The young man named Li Huanxiang said with some annoyance: "It's a pity that I was slow to react. What the hell is going on, why do good domestic animals become monsters like that?"
Morey shook his head and said, "The only thing that can be determined is that there are treemen as tall as buildings outside the village, maybe you can fly away as a mage, but it will be difficult for the rest of us to get out." ”
Li Huanxiang pointed to a giant eagle as big as an airplane in the sky and said, "I think it's a little difficult. ”
Everyone felt a chill in their hearts when they saw the eagle, but fortunately, the eagle didn't seem to take the village seriously, and swept straight across the sky.
Li Huanxiang said to Morey: "Just like Cao Lu said, the most feasible way for us is to build a teleportation array. I'm a high-level mage, and I know a little bit about formations. Let's hurry up and set up together. How long do you think it will take?"
Morey said: "If you can help me, it will take half an hour." ”
Cao Lu said to the militia captain: "Find out all the people who can use guns, some of them will be sent to the city wall to defend the front gate, and some will guard the back city wall of the village to prevent the wild beasts in the mountains from rushing down." ”
Cao Lu's prediction was very accurate, as soon as the militia ran up the city wall, not only did the tree people gather more and more at the entrance of the village in front of them. In the direction of the back mountain, from time to time, monsters conjured up by wolves or wild boars rushed down. If it weren't for Cao Lu and a few regular soldiers leading these militias and finding a proper position to defend, the village would have been broken through by these monsters a long time ago.
Cao Lu shot a long-haired monster with a pointed beak and sharp claws, and the bullet pierced the thing's head, and the monster let out a short cry and fell, its claws only half a meter away from a militiaman. She wasn't sure if it was from a pheasant or some other bird, but the monster had already killed four militiamen, and there were casualties in the direction of the front door, and several of the treemen were already very close to the wall when they were knocked down, and their upper limbs swept across the wall and hit a few militiamen who didn't have time to dodge.
Your own strength has been weakened, but the enemy's attack is becoming more and more ferocious. When the last wave of three-headed wolf monsters launched a charge, if it weren't for the help of the quick-eyed Li Huanxiang, even she would have almost hung up. She turned her head and asked, "Mr. Morey, how much longer?"
"The circle has been assembled, and now we are trying to establish a connection with Greenwood City. But the teleportation channel is not open, they must be teleporting to other cities. "But you'd better gather around, and we'll start the teleportation as soon as we're connected." ”
Cao Lu patted the guard soldier Hines beside him and said, "Let the militia withdraw first and set up a position on the side of the teleportation array, and I will be behind the palace." ”
"Major. Hines glanced at Cao Lu heartily, but the other party's eyes were very resolute, and he had to let the militia start to go down the city wall, using all kinds of ox carts, boxes, haystacks and other things to build a rudimentary barrier around Morey's teleportation array.
Fortunately, during this time, only sporadic monsters rushed over from the back of the village, and they were all solved by Cao Lu one by one.
She returned to her newly formed position and said to Hineth, "There are fewer monsters all at once. ”
"Maybe there's no more?"
"No way, I think...... It's possible that they are brewing something. Cao Lu stared closely at the wall behind the mountain.
A young militiaman standing beside them said: "You are right. There was a strong fishy smell in the air. ”
"Can you smell it?"
"I have a bit of nose blood and am the best hunter in the village. "I feel the smell...... It's like animals are clustered together, like the smell of the beast's den. ”
Cao Lu glanced at the high wall behind him, the six or seven people who were still resisting the tree people, these people could not retreat until the last moment, otherwise the tree people would break through the city wall and rush in, "There are really wolves in front and tigers in the back." ”
At this moment, a gray-yellow figure suddenly jumped into the wall of the village in front of him, it was a monster with four legs and sharp and huge horns on its head.
"This thing...... It seems to have changed from the gray antelope on the back mountain. "Oh no, this kind of thing lives in groups." There are a lot of them in each flock!"
