Chapter 444: The War Begins

"Shoot the arrows!" "With the help of the 'advanced dim vision' that Hill specially blessed for himself, after confirming that the team of the Crocodile Tooth Thieves had entered the firing range, Cacello waved his hand and ordered decisively. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

With Cacello's order, more than 30 archers in the smuggling caravan team who had already been prepared held various bows and crossbows and shot sharp arrows in front of them. Moments later, a fairly dense rain of arrows fell on the ranks of the Crocodile Tooth Thieves, causing a wail.

You must know that although the scale of the arrow rain composed of more than thirty arrows is not large, the underground tunnel itself in the dark region is not very wide, plus these kobolds of the crocodile tooth thief group, the formation of the wild goblins is very dense when they charge, so a round of arrow rain down, at least twenty targets are hit.

As the lowest cannon fodder of the thief group, these ordinary kobolds whose real combat power is not as good as ordinary humans, there is almost no decent defensive equipment on the wild goblins, at most some incomplete leather armor, and there is almost no strong defense ability against the bows and arrows shot by professionals. Therefore, once the bow and arrow hit, it can directly penetrate into the body of these cannon fodder, causing no light injuries.

However, although there are many kobolds and wild goblins who are hit by arrows, there are not many who really fall directly. As the almost lowest race in the Ymir Continent, although the kobolds and wild goblins are very poor in individual strength, before they became professionals, and even only comparable to untrained human teenagers, their vitality is stronger than that of humans. Even if they are pierced by a sharp arrow, as long as they are not hit, they will still endure the pain and continue to rush forward. After all, in the process of charging, falling is basically equivalent to death.

In fact, the tenacious vitality, as well as the terrifying adaptability and fecundity, are also the main dependencies for the survival of kobolds and wild goblins, which are individuals with poor strength and extremely low civilization, in the Ymir continent. Without these advantages, even if there are some mutated powerful individuals within these races, they would have been completely wiped out by humans, elves and other powerful races.

Of course, although the cannon fodder such as kobolds and wild goblins are relatively tenacious, it does not mean that they can really ignore the damage. For example, in the first wave of attacks, several rangers and hunters shot bows and arrows, all of which directly pierced the target's neck, heart and other vital points, directly shooting the target to the ground. And some of the more serious injuries, such as those whose abdomen was penetrated, also fell to the ground because of the severity of the injuries after running out for a while. And when the second round of arrow rain fell, because the distance was shortened, the power of the bow and arrow increased, and more than a dozen arrow targets fell on the spot.

So in the end, when the cannon fodder team suffered four or five rounds of arrow rain because of its limited speed, it rushed to a distance of dozens of meters from the caravan, and the team of more than 100 people had already lost nearly 50 people. The huge casualties have caused the morale of these cannon fodder, who were not very strong-willed, to plummet, and even began to show signs of collapse and escape.

But just when Casero and the others breathed a sigh of relief, ready to completely defeat these cannon fodder with the last round of arrow rain, a blood-colored light with a fishy smell suddenly bloomed in the cannon fodder, and then the kobolds and wild goblins who had slowed down the pace of the charge and were about to collapse suddenly became extremely manic, and their eyes were blood-red waving the rudimentary weapons in their hands, and they rushed up at a speed that exceeded the expectations of Casero and others.

"Tainted group bloodthirsty!The Crocodile Tooth Thieves are here this time, there is Kidd, the refiner of the Wild Land, and the warrior raises his shield forward!Ciel, smash it with the fireball technique first!" Although he was caught off guard by the sudden burst of spells, so that the last round of arrow rain did not exert the maximum effect, Cacello still saw the situation clearly for the first time and gave the order.

Hearing Cacello's order, more than twenty warriors with shields who had been prepared for a long time lined up and met the thieves who rushed in shouting side by side. Although the Blackhorned Rhino Caravan was unable to be equipped with standard equipment and obtain a large number of powerful crossbows and crossbows like a truly powerful mercenary group due to various conditions, after many years of dealing with the garrison of the town fortress, Cacello still managed to obtain a lot of high-quality military shields. The elite warriors in the caravan formed an array with shields, and their posture was not much worse than that of the regular army in the town fortress.

While the warriors stepped forward to meet the enemy, Ciel also gave up the powerful fear spell he had prepared, took out three scrolls of the fireball technique, ripped them open, and smashed them into the middle and rear of the thief group.

Originally, according to Ciel's plan, he was going to completely destroy the enemy's morale with powerful fear spells when the enemy's morale was extremely low, but the crocodile tooth thieves were obviously superior this time, and before Hill had time to make a move, they launched the group bloodthirsty technique.

Although the power of this tainted and weakened version of the Bloodthirsty Technique that the Wild Alchemist used to cast with the help of alchemy potions, although the power cannot be compared with the genuine group Bloodthirsty Technique that can only be performed by the Gold-level Shaman, it still retains most of the characteristics of the Bloodthirsty Technique, that is, it stimulates courage, strengthens the will, alleviates pain, increases combat power, and resists spiritual attacks.

Under the effect of the bloodthirsty spell, the powerful fear spell prepared by Hill was completely restrained, and even if it was released, it would basically have no effect, so Hill decisively gave up the dark spell he specialized in, and chose the more violent and more practical fireball spell at this time.

Three fireballs glowed with a scorching red light as they streaked through the dimly lit underground tunnels, and then exploded like three bombs in the west of the crocodile tooth thieves. In an instant, dozens of kobolds and wild goblins flew flesh and blood in the explosion, and with the casualties caused by the previous rounds of arrow rain, the cannon fodder unit of the Crocodile Tooth Thieves Regiment had almost lost half of it at this time.

In this case, although the remaining kobolds and wild goblins did not collapse under the influence of bloodthirsty magic, and rushed towards the caravan with a howl, and collided with the shield-wielding warriors, it was obvious that they could no longer pose much of a threat to the caravan. With only dozens of cannon fodder that can't reach the professional level, even if there is a bloodthirsty technique to increase a certain combat power, in front of the team of professional level warriors, it will not be able to make a big impact at all. After a while, a large piece of work fell.

But just as the soldiers of the caravan were bravely attacking, slaughtering the cannon fodder troops of the Crocodile Tooth Thieves like chopping melons and vegetables, a group of goblins riding crocodiles appeared in front of the tunnel and rushed towards the caravan soldiers who had fallen into chaos due to the killing. At the same time, more than a dozen short arrows with a fishy smell flew out from behind the team and shot at Cacello, Rasheng and other people standing in the center of the team. Among them, a long black arrow shot like lightning towards Ciel, who was preparing to cast a spell again.

"Shadow Hunter Rila is here, too!"
