Chapter 86: Preparation
"Yenogu is above!" the gnoll priest shouted the holy name of the king of the gnolls, agitating the restless gnolls, and a large number of gray-haired wolves hovered around the perimeter of the camp, occasionally letting out a terrible howl, intimidating the commune who were on guard at the camp wall.
"Armor!" the gnoll chief ordered loudly, and with a chaotic wolf howl, more than fifty of the strongest gnolls began to wear armor with the help of goblin soldiers, and the gnoll armor was varied, most of them were chain armor shirts or chain mail, and there were also a small number of breastplates with the mark of the Purple Dragon Legion, and the ill-fitting armor still had old rust and blood stains on it, obviously the gnolls did not care about the maintenance of the armor.
"Sit!" With a wolf howl, the gnoll chief began to order, the most elite squadron of gnolls began to sit in place, accumulating physical strength, and the weapons in the hands of the gnolls were kept at hand, ready to enter the battle at any time, the weapons of the gnolls were also varied, including the standard long swords and round shields of the purple dragon legion, as well as scimitars and short swords used by adventurers, and more short spears and hand axes cast by orc slaves, and many people also carried a few flying axes coated with wolf dung around their waists.
The goblin servant hurried to fetch water for the elite squadron, before the battle, he could not eat too much, the water must be full, one goblin took too many water bags in his hand, stumbled under his feet, and spilled the water bag in his hand to the ground, the orc overseer next to him was furious, took out a leather whip and whipped the hapless goblin, more than eighty gnolls archers lined up on the side, and when they saw this scene, they let out a gloating laugh, and the gnolls officers in the team shouted at the team, trying to keep the team quiet.
The remaining more than 150 gnolls are holding spears or scimitars, spearmen are concentrated in the middle, scimitars protect the two wings of spearmen, lined up in a slender longitudinal formation, the front row of people is wearing haphazard tanned leather armor, the back gnolls are covered with a layer of animal skin or simply no armor, 100 groups of wolves surround the gnolls, just waiting to break through the gate of the village and then rush into the village first.
The gnoll priest let his apprentices continue to beat the cowhide drum, stirring up the morale of the team, and he himself walked quickly to the chief who was sitting on the ground resting.
"I looked, the mountain people are still as soft as before, as long as our men cross the trench and attack the wall, we can win, and after a short rest, we can meet the team of the Rausch commune. The priest said angrily to the chief.
The gnoll chieftain bowed his head and groaned, his green eyes revealing a bit of cunning, and from time to time his well-developed yellow canine teeth were exposed, licking his furry lips with his barbed tongue.
"This village is easy to fight, the key is how to beat it down quickly. The chief made his voice heard.
Just as Link coveted the veins occupied by the gnolls tribe, the gnolls were also wary of the commune forces occupying the orc camp, and after learning that the commune had massively absorbed the mountain people in the rocks, the gnoll chieftain knew that a war would inevitably break out between his tribe and the commune, and the shrewd chief had been collecting information about the commune during this time.
The chief soon learned that the Commune was a peripheral force in the Netherlands, and the shrewd chieftain was not frightened by the name of the Netherlands, unlike other alien tribes who only buried their heads in the rocky land, the Gnoll Chieftain was very concerned about the situation outside, and worked hard to collect information from the outside, and at the same time was quite able to judge the situation and lead the tribe to this day in this chaotic era.
When the orc tide went south, the chief tried his best to disagree and did not let the clansmen follow the orcs to the south in large numbers, but just followed the orcs to pick up some cheap, not only dodging the decisive battle between the orcs and the purple dragon army, but also avoiding the recruitment of Fei Lin Mokui in the rocks, preserving the strength of the tribe, and then defeating the orc tribe as an old enemy, taking advantage of the weakness of the orc tribe to seize the iron ore of the orc tribe.
The chief of the Netherworld City is now besieged by the whole continent, and the chief does not think that the Netherworld City will be wiped out because of a peripheral force, so he will send valuable forces to deal with him, and the commune that continues to absorb the people of the rocky mountains is obviously a threat to the Gnoll tribe, and the chief can't sit back and watch the commune become bigger, and after breaking through the village, he will let go when he sees the people in the Netherworld City, and temporarily detain them as a bridge to communicate with the Netherworld City, and decide the next move depending on the specific battle situation.
The Gnoll Priest used prophecy, which could not give some particularly accurate answers, but if it was the best time to predict the best time to attack the commune, it could still give a relatively accurate time.
"The enemy's main force is gone, and it may come back at any time, so we must break through the stockade as soon as possible, rely on the stockade to resist the attack of the enemy's main force, and crush the enemy in one fell swoop!" said the chief majestically to the priest.
I don't know if there are any strong hands on the wall, and I don't dare to rush up there. The priest said with a frown.
Faced with the trench in front of the stockade, the jackals used to be archers who stepped forward to suppress the mountain people on the wall, and the goblins and human slaves filled the trench with soil bags, and then the orc slaves pushed the battering ram made of tall logs to break through the strong wall, and the weaker stockade could be broken in this way, and the stronger stockade let the elite of the jackals with armor use a long ladder to put it on the wall, first let a few orcs cannon fodder go up, and then the jackals in armor went up again, and hit the top of the gate from the wallγ
As long as the gate of the village is broken, the gnoll brigade and the wolf rush up, no matter how strong the human village is, it is not an opponent, but this style of play will last for most of the day or even a whole day, and now I don't know when the enemy's brigade will come back, if this side is attacking the stockade, and the enemy is coming back to help, then the situation is not very good.
The feasible way is also to fly the priest forcibly brave the attack of the wall, fly to the wall inside the wall, and forcibly seize the door, but this method priest has to withstand the opponent's full attack, and may also be blocked by the opponent's strong, after all, the village in front of him is in the name of the vassal force of the Yin Ghost City, and the gnoll priest is a little unsure of the strength of the village, and is unwilling to take risks.
The gnoll chief took a deep breath and said slowly, "You still have to go in person, I let the orcs and goblins take their lives to fill the trenches, and that's the only way." β
The priest was furious when he heard this, and showed his sharp canine teeth menacingly, and glared at the chief with green eyes viciously, but seeing the chief's unmoved appearance, and thinking of the chief's contribution to the tribe during this time, the priest's erected wolf ears drooped, nodded silently, and began to put on armor.
Niata tore off the headscarf that covered her face, and her bright face made several of the surrounding mountain people stand still for a moment, while the Bedai people from the desert looked at Niata with a frown, ignoring the reactions of the people around her, Niata methodically ordered the various defensive equipment on the wall, and arranged the men to climb the wall, and the women boiled hot water and prepared gauze.
"The wall is in the people, and the wall is destroyed. Niata smiled brightly and said faintly on the quiet wall.
