Chapter 446: Battle and Strangeness

"Cacello, is this guy reliable?" Seeing Rasheng disappear into the shadows, through the telepathic connection, Hill asked Cacello with a frown. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The presence of the Shadow Hunter Lira seriously threatens the core of the Blackhorned Rhino Caravan. With such a long-range shooter with amazing attack power hidden in the shadows, Hill didn't dare to cast spells with all his might at all. After all, compared to Cacello, who reacted quickly and had armor and shields to protect him, Hill's protection was extremely limited. Once you are attacked, even if you spend your life-saving hole cards, you can't guarantee that you will not be harmed at all.

Therefore, in Hill's opinion, the best solution is to let Lamour, a powerful and loyal companion, solve the lira, so that his side can rest assured and deal with the main force of the crocodile tooth thieves. And handing over this matter to Luo Sheng as an outsider, Hill is not at ease at all.

"It's not reliable, but as long as he's not stupid, he's going to help us contain the lira. After all, if we are defeated, there is no way that the crocodile thieves will let him go. Even if he could sneak away, the back half of the way, he would not be able to walk down as a person who had entered the dark region for the first time. Cacello replied as he adjusted the caravan's formation.

Through the previous matter of Luo Sheng's request for an 'appearance fee', Casero knew very well in his heart that Luo Sheng was a very shrewd and rational person. His previous wooing did not really impress Luo Sheng. The 'friendship' between the two parties is not as deep as it was when they drank and chatted before.

However, although the 'friendship' is unreliable, Cacello does not think that Rasheng will betray him directly. After all, the current situation is there, and in the face of a madman like the Crocodile Tooth Thieves who likes to kill, Luo Sheng and the Black Horned Rhino Caravan have the same interests. Therefore, Luo Sheng may choose to 'paddle', preserve his strength in the battle, and not contribute to the work, but it is impossible to ignore the lira and sit back and watch the black horned rhinoceros caravan lose.

"Isn't it good to let Lamour go? It's always safer to let your own people go. Van Cleef's side, it would be nice to let him join the frontline fighting. Hill still said with some trepidation.

"Not to mention whether Van Cleef is willing to fight for us on the front lines. Even if he's willing to give us his back, I don't want Lamour to fight right now. You know, Blake, the leader of the Crocodile Bandits, hasn't shown up yet. Cacello said with a hint of concern on his face.

Among the crocodile tooth thieves, there are only four or five famous masters, and the most famous, strongest, and most dangerous among them is the kobold mage Blake.

Legend has it that Black not only has a very high mage level, but also awakens the black dragon bloodline, and his body is as strong as a warrior of the same level, and he also has the ability to cast spells with the help of the black dragon bloodline, and even at some times, he can use some of the dragon's exclusive skills. So on the whole, Blake is almost a combination of three classes: warrior, mage, and warlock. Although he has never been able to take a step further and step into the golden level, in the silver level, he is almost invincible.

The two sides are at war, and the chess pieces that do not appear on the battlefield are always the most deterrent. There is a master like Blake on the side of the Crocodile Thieves who has not yet appeared, and Cacello naturally does not dare to press all his chess pieces. Hidden in the shadows, Lacello is the biggest hole card for Caselo to reverse the situation, and Casero will not let Lamour make a move at all until the most critical moment.

"I see, now let's deal with the Earth Alchemist Kidd and the Toothed Crocodile Cavalry first!" After being persuaded by Cacello, Hill nodded, turning his attention to the battle ahead.

At this time, the cannon fodder army composed of the old, weak, sick and disabled among the kobolds and wild goblins had been strangled. Although with the assistance of bloodthirsty magic, these cannon fodder burst out with combat power beyond their own limits, but after all, the foundation and equipment were too poor to cause much damage to the warrior team of the Black Horned Rhino Caravan. With the exception of a few less fortunate warriors who suffered minor injuries, the Blackhorned Rhino Caravan suffered few major losses.

Of course, the sacrifice of these cannon fodder troops was not completely in vain, in addition to attracting the attention of the caravan and creating a perfect time for the Shadow Hunter team to sneak attack, these cannon fodder troops also completely disrupted the original tight formation of the Black Horned Rhino Caravan and dragged down a considerable part of the warriors. When the Sharptooth Alligator cavalry approached the battlefield, most of the caravan warriors were still chasing cannon fodder, let alone forming a tight formation.

"Charge!" Facing the caravan warriors who were still in chaos ahead, Kidd threw out a bottle of blood-red potion, and then waved the staff in his hand, covering all the sharp-toothed crocodile cavalry with a blood-red glow that was brighter than before. In an instant, with the blessing of the copycat version of the bloodthirsty technique, the sharp-toothed crocodile cavalry, which had already increased its speed, suddenly accelerated, reached the speed of a normal cavalry, and fiercely pounced on the caravan.

And after completing the blessing of the bloodthirsty technique, Kidd did not continue to charge with the cavalry team, but stopped behind the cavalry team, constantly shaking a few test tubes in his hands, and while preparing for battle, his eyes were staring at Hill who was standing at the core of the caravan.

Although alchemists are sometimes not recognized by other casters due to their unique casting methods and different combat styles, it is undeniable that alchemists' combat power is not much weaker than other casters of the same rank. Especially some alchemists who have mastered the recipes of special spell potions, sometimes their combat power is very amazing.

Sensing Kidd's gaze, Hill gave up the idea of casting a spell to snipe at the Toothed Alligator Cavalry after blessing Cacello with a protective spell of a bone shield, and aimed his staff at Kidd.

In larger battles, if the enemy has a caster watching, the most important job of the caster on their side is to counter the enemy, not to kill or damage the normal team. So before the situation changed dramatically, Hill and Kidd did not take the initiative to take action, but chose to confront each other in the air.

"Everyone follow me!" Seeing that Ciel was pinned down by the other party's spellcaster, Cacello did not flinch, but raised his shield and rushed to the front of the warriors. He suddenly let out a loud roar at the sharp-toothed crocodile cavalry, whose speed and strength had increased greatly after being blessed by the bloodthirsty technique, and which was no worse than the cavalry troops of the human professionals.

Although this roar that combined with the 'piercing scream' skill was not able to deter the sharp-toothed crocodile cavalry who had been blessed by the bloodthirsty spell and had increased their courage, it did have a lot of impact on the several goblin cavalry in front of them, and their speed slowed down a lot. And Cacello took advantage of the situation and rushed forward with a few elite warriors of the bronze rank, and killed the sharp-toothed crocodile cavalry.

Because Cacello took the initiative to attack and resisted the most powerful elite of the Sharptooth Crocodile Cavalry, although the formation of the warriors on the side of the Blackhorned Rhinoceros Mercenary Regiment was scattered and not lightly impacted by the Sharptooth Crocodile Cavalry, it did not fall into collapse directly after all. In addition, the follow-up reinforcements rushed up to help resist some of the pressure, so in the end, the Black Horned Rhino Caravan resisted this round of impact.

However, although relying on the advantage of numbers and top masters, the black-horned rhinoceros caravan resisted the impact and pulled the sharp-toothed crocodile cavalry into the melee, but the tide of the battle did not immediately reverse because of this, but fell into a bitter battle.

This situation occurs, on the one hand, because the cavalry of the sharp-toothed crocodile chooses all the goblins whose physique and combat effectiveness can be compared with humans in the goblin clan, and they are all professional level, and their own combat effectiveness is not bad. Coupled with the blessing of bloodthirsty arts, his combat effectiveness and will to fight are very good, no worse than the ordinary warriors of the Black Horned Rhino Caravan.

On the other hand, it is because the mount of the Sharp-toothed Alligator cavalry, the Sharp-toothed Alligator, also has extremely strong combat effectiveness. Although this crocodile tooth thief group's signature monster is only a first-order and its travel speed is slightly lacking, it is enough to outperform most cavalry mounts with its huge size, thick armor, fierce combat power, and brutal temperament. After blessing the Bloodthirsty Technique, the combat power is comparable to that of a first-order peak demonic beast. Even a Bronze-level warrior would find it difficult to deal with such a thick-skinned, ferocious and brutal creature in a short period of time. And the average Black Iron Rank warrior is not the opponent of this kind of demonic beast at all.

However, although the combat effectiveness of the sharp-toothed alligator cavalry was extremely amazing, causing a lot of casualties and huge troubles to the caravan side, after all, the number was not large, only less than thirty. Relying on Cacello's strong combat power and fairly good equipment, the caravan's side still maintained the situation. Although casualties are increasing, the situation is still in balance.

Seeing this situation, Kidd in the rear frowned slightly, but there was no other way that was too good. Although the Sharp-toothed Crocodile is a magical beast with amazing combat power, it is a very good mount in the dark region, but it is extremely expensive to raise. Almost every day, a considerable amount of meat is required. So even with the strength of the Crocodile Tooth Thieves, they can't raise too much at all. Being able to gather thirty sharp-toothed crocodile cavalry at a time, the thieves have already done their best.

While the battle in front of the caravan was deadlocked, and the flesh and blood were flying, the battle behind the caravan fell into an eerie silence. The Shadow Hunter Squad, which had originally attacked the caravan, was killed by the caravan rangers and crossbowmen. The rest of the rest took advantage of the chaos to sneak back into the shadows and no longer attacked. And Rila, the leader of the shadow hunters, fell into a state of silence, as if he had retreated.

Although the shadow hunters stopped attacking, the caravan did not dare to let their guard down. With the exception of some of the most skilled archers who were engaged in sniping at the Tooth Crocodile cavalry under the command of Hill, most of the crossbowmen, as well as the caravan reserves, were always on guard against the sneak attacks of the Shadow Hunters. The lira is equivalent to holding back the small half of the caravan's strength without making a move.

Regarding this situation, Luo Sheng saw it in his eyes and couldn't help frowning slightly.

Although Lila's personal strength can almost be said to be worthless in the eyes of Luo Sheng, it is already good among ordinary professionals. In terms of combat style, Lila is obviously very familiar with this kind of stealth combat, and his subordinates are also skillful, and it is obviously not the first time that this tactic has been used.

It can be said that judging from Lira and the Shadow Hunter team he leads, the fighting quality of the Crocodile Tooth Thieves and the ability of the decision-makers are quite good. Even if it can't be compared with those generals who really lead regular troops, at least it is above the level.

However, compared to the rear battlefield on the Lira side, the performance of the Crocodile Tooth Thieves on the frontal battlefield can be described as unsightly. Whether it is the almost wasteful sacrifice of cannon fodder before, or the poor tactical connection of the sharp-toothed crocodile cavalry later, it seems extremely amateurish. In the eyes of true connoisseurs, the Crocodile Tooth Thieves are almost actively letting the cannon fodder, and even the Sharptooth Alligator Cavalry, die.

Otherwise, as long as Kidd exerts a little more strength, protects the cannon fodder troops, and then lets the Sharptooth Alligator cavalry charge earlier, even if he doesn't directly defeat the Black Horned Rhino Caravan, he can only keep a small half of the cannon fodder troops, and have a great advantage on the field. It won't be like this at all, the two sides are completely fighting for flesh and blood. A lot of people died, but the situation was always in a stalemate.

It can be said that the level of the Crocodile Thieves Regiment on the frontal battlefield and the level of the rear battlefield are not at the same level at all. If it is an ordinary person, you will think that this is because the commanders of the front and rear sides have different tactical levels. But after being in the dark region for a long time, Luo Sheng, who knew the cruelty here, knew that if this was the case, the crocodile tooth thieves would have been wiped out by other forces long ago, and it would not be possible to exist forever, and they would have a lot of fame.

So in Luo Sheng's opinion, there must be other strange things in this. And this strangeness is most likely to be in Blake, the leader of the crocodile tooth thieves who has never appeared.

"What is it for?" Hidden in the shadows, Rason locked on to Lira's situation while trying to sense the changes on the battlefield, looking for Blake, who had not yet appeared.

But what surprised Luo Sheng was that even with his perception ability that had already surpassed most gold-level professionals, he was never able to find Blake. This kobold mage, who had not yet broken through the golden rank, was obviously quite extraordinary in hidden spells, reaching a level that needed Luo Sheng's attention.

However, although Blake has the ability to conceal Rason's large-scale perception and investigation, he does not have this ability in the arrangement he made. When the battle entered a white-hot state, Luo Sheng was keenly aware of the magic circle that was activated by a large amount of blood under the main battlefield. After perceiving the nature and operation of the magic circle, Luo Sheng immediately understood the other party's purpose.

"This is a circle that draws flesh and soul purification. It seems that this Blake, who is stuck at the peak of the silver level, is ready to use this method to break through the gold level!" After confirming the situation of the magic circle, a smile appeared on the corner of Luo Sheng's mouth. "The killings of the Crocodile Thieves in the past few years should all be in the service of Blake's promotion. This Blake's net worth is already worth my shot!"
