Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Unlucky Prairie Elite
The firelight attracted countless night spirits. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The so-called safe area is actually just an area where there are relatively few night souls in Baililin. Because of the scarcity, the interval is relatively sparse, and these night souls are also the kind of lazy night souls that do not actively attack others.
However, there was a fire in the middle of the night. Then everything will be different. The light tropism of the night soul is like a moth and other small insects, and when it sees light at night, it will gather directly.
It seems that the explosion of a gasoline bomb is enough to attract a large number of night spirits.
That is, the gasoline bombs released by the egret are only the size of mobile phones, and they have such explosive power when assembled. Although the fire was very grand for a while, it could not last. After only a few minutes, the flames gradually laughed, and of course the soldiers of the steppe kept fighting it, but it also proved that there was not much gasoline here.
Duolun felt that the green tendons on his head bulged uncontrollably, and it was unimaginable to suffer such an unwarranted disaster.
Although he didn't know why there were sudden fires and explosions, he knew that if this happened in a dangerous place like Baililin, it would not end well.
"The whole army is on alert!" Doron mounted his horse and ran back and forth, shouting for the sleeping warriors to get up quickly, completely in a posture of emergency assembly after being attacked by the camp. The elites of the grassland lived up to their name, and quickly gathered and prepared their formations. This reassured Duolun a little.
"What about Mr. Luo Hao, hurry up and find Mr. Luo Hao!" Duolun looked around left and right, he knew that in such a situation, only by finding Luo Hao, a guide who knew the situation of Baililin, could there be a countermeasure!
Luo Hao is not blind or deaf, it is impossible to be ignorant of such a big movement, hearing Duolun's shouting from afar, he ran in the direction of Duolun as soon as possible.
"His Royal Highness Prince Duolun! Your Highness! Hurry up and get the soldiers ready for battle! Hurry up! Night Souls are light-oriented! Now I am sure that all the Night Souls in the vicinity have seen the light from here, and they will definitely come to attack!"
Duolun watched Luo Hao shout at himself while running, and he heard the content of the words clearly, and the feeling of psychological discomfort was even better. The safe area here is a clearing, so the Night Spirits will definitely attack from the surrounding woods!
"Get on the horse, get on the horse, get ready for battle!"
Shouting, Duolun drew his scimitar and looked nervously at the forest. The cavalrymen behind him, who were ready for battle, also got on their horses, drew their scimitars, and prepared for battle in the direction of the woodland.
By this time, the fire of the gasoline bomb had been extinguished. It was dark all around, and faintly, the wails of the wounded could be heard from the explosion site not far away. The atmosphere became even more tense.
Luo Hao would be puzzled, and he didn't understand why this situation happened suddenly. But that doesn't affect his judgment now. The night ghost is coming, but it doesn't matter if you're a prairie or not. Luo Hao's net worth and life are also here, and he doesn't dare to bury himself easily.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince!" Luo Hao said with some solemnity, "In the dark night, waiting for the attack of the night soul is probably not a wise act!"
"What?" Duolun's heart was annoyed, and when he heard Luo Hao's words, he was a little confused.
"That's right, the Night Soul has unrivaled vision at night, and we don't have any advantage when it comes to fighting in the dark. The firelight just now must have attracted a lot of night spirits, and it would be very unwise for us to wait for close combat like this. Luo Hao continued, "We must light the torch and make one or several bonfires!"
"What do you mean?" Isn't it true that the firelight is the culprit that attracts the night spirits?
"We already have to face the situation of the Night Soul now!" Luo Hao said eagerly, there was not much time now, and he couldn't explain it in more detail. "Lightward nature is the ability of the night spirits, but it is also a weakness! by using the campfire to attract the night spirits who come to us to the firelight, we can kill them with bows and arrows. By the time these night souls react and engage in close-range combat, there won't be too many of them!"
Duolun thought for a moment, and immediately reacted. Luo Hao is right, now it is a situation where you don't want to fight and have to fight, in the dark, the vision of your own soldiers is completely scum, and it can't be compared with officers at the rank of lieutenant and general. Not only does the campfire provide vision, but it also takes advantage of the light tropism of the Night Spirit!
"Nine Brigades, Twelve Brigades. Set up a bonfire in front of the battle now!now!immediately!" Duolun shouted as soon as he figured it out.
Seeing Duolun stop entering, Luo Hao also breathed a sigh of relief.
Campfires, a wooden material, were to be prepared during the march. It is used for wolf smoke or cooking, and is one of the essential fuel woods.
So arranging and lighting bonfires, which are not difficult for well-trained troops. The movements of the elites were fast, and it didn't take long for seven bonfires to be lit not far in front of the cavalry formation.
And it was at this moment that Duolun's eyes shrank. He clearly saw dozens of black shadows, walking directly out of the woodland, at a speed like a trot, rushing towards his army.
"Defend the front guard, the whole army will meet the enemy!" Duolun's momentum rose and he shouted. The true power on the scimitar condensed, and it slashed directly at the night soul that rushed over. The generals and officers in the front were the same, at the front of the line, taking the lead in drawing their swords to meet the enemy.
Of course, there are general-level masters among the night souls, but the reason why the safe area is called the safe area is naturally because there are few night souls in the vicinity, and the strength is not high.
So among the night souls that are attacking now, there are no too powerful guys. The general-level officers can easily solve a night soul with a knife, and the six general-level officers plus Duolun, the first batch of dozens of night souls that rushed in, were killed without even making a sound.
But that's just the first few dozen.
A moment later, dark shadows surged in the woods. Duolun's eyelids jumped, he saw at least hundreds of night spirits in front of him, and his hand holding the knife tightened a little, looking very nervous.
However, the bonfire that Luo Hao asked Duolun to light has a miraculous effect at this time.
Phototropism, which is an unavoidable habit of the night soul. Even if he is in front of the battle, the Night Spirit is not a soldier who obeys orders, but a monster who obeys instinct. So they all ignored the grassland elites of Duolun not far away, and they all began to gather around the bonfire.
These night spirits didn't care about it at all, and some even threw themselves directly into the campfire. The bonfire itself burned quite badly, and the night soul pounced on it, and it was burned by the fire, and it didn't take long for it to turn into a pile of dust.
However, no matter how powerful the bonfire is, it can't stop the number of night souls. There were constantly night spirits rushing inside, and the fire of the bonfire, in less than two minutes, suddenly became much smaller.
"Your Royal Highness, don't let the night soul extinguish the fire!" Luo Hao jumped to his feet urgently, and this sentence also reminded Duolun.
"Whole army, get on the bow and arrow!" Duolun immediately shouted, "We must not let this group of monsters extinguish the flame of our life!"
