Chapter 258: Praetorian Rangers
"That's not it," Nilou shook her head slightly, rejecting Wang Xu's speculation, but her own expression was still full of doubt, "The group of enemies seemed to have just suffered a crushing defeat, all dressed in tatters, and looked like they had lost their armor. ”
"Oh," listening to Nilou's answer, Wang Xu's eyebrows raised, and the already somewhat relaxed mood became even more relaxed, and even a smile appeared on his face, "It seems that we have help." ”
"What do you mean?" Nilou didn't understand what Wang Xu was trying to say, but Zana understood, and nodded slightly.
"The combined forces of kobolds and pig-headed people have suffered a crushing defeat in the Elven Forest, who else could have done it, could it be the dwarves who did it?" Wang Xu turned his head to look at Nilou, hinting at his own judgment.
"Oh. Nilou nodded back, indicating that she understood.
To be honest, Nilou is definitely a very smart person, with a high IQ, otherwise, how could she become a god of law, but all her wisdom is used in the study of magic and alchemy, and she hardly cares much about other things, which also causes her lack of emotional intelligence, which seems a little cute, and does not seem to be as smart as Zana.
"We'll go over and ask Arnold in a moment, if there's any big force around here that can beat the combined forces of kobolds and pigheads like that, and how can we say that this force also has tens of thousands of people. Wang Xu whispered to Nilou and Zana beside him.
The two girls nodded slightly at the same time, agreeing with Wang Xu's judgment.
In less than a minute, Wang Xu and the three of them caught up with Arnold's group, and at this time, all of them could no longer run, their heads were covered with sweat, and they began to drag their weapons up.
When they heard the "pop, pop, ......pop" sound of the skeleton bat fanning its wings, they all picked up their weapons in a panic and turned to look in the direction where the sound came from, however, when they saw that it was Wang Xu and the three of them who flew in, they breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and the weapon in their hands "Ping Pong ......" fell to the ground, and a few mercenaries, because they were too nervous just now, suddenly relaxed, and sat down directly on the ground.
Looking at the three Wang Xu who fell from the sky, Arnold's heart was very complicated, not long after he came out of the hill city, he understood that the strength of Wang Xu and the three of them was very strong, and he did not need to protect himself, but he still decided to do what he had to do conscientiously, after all, Wang Xu and the three of them gave money, and he couldn't be lazy, otherwise, the reputation of his team would be ruined.
However, just after hearing that the Buddha of the demon clan could call Nilou a god, and seeing that Nilou really flew over, Arnold's mind changed, and he suddenly realized the purpose of Wang Xu's hiring of his mercenary group, Wang Xu probably just wanted to let himself help them lead the way, and did not need to protect himself, in this case, then do his duty to help them lead the way, don't become a burden to them, as long as they don't drag them down, with their bold attitude along the way, they will definitely give themselves a high reward, they definitely don't need protection。
"What do you want, keep walking!" Wang Xu, who put away the flying sword, walked to Arnold's side, and patted Arnold, whose eyes were wandering and obviously distracted: "Stop and wait for death!"
"Oh, oh, oh, yes, yes, yes, go, go, let's go, let's move on!" Arnold, who was woken up by Wang Xu, hurriedly shouted to his subordinates, so the whole team continued to move forward in a defensive posture, and the mercenaries habitually surrounded Wang Xu and the three in the middle, they were not as experienced as Arnold, and they still simply performed the duty of protecting Wang Xu and the three.
"I was a little tired just now, and I was stunned for a while!" Arnold scratched his head lightly and explained his behavior with an awkward smile.
"Oh," Wang Xu pouted and smiled noncommittally, Wang Xu, who was proficient in micro-expressions, knew that Arnold was not telling the truth when he looked at Arnold's body language, but because Wang Xu didn't like to snoop on other people's privacy, he didn't expose Arnold: "By the way, my alchemy equipment seems to have detected a group of elven troops around here, but my alchemy equipment can't keep up with them, is there a large elf army around here?"
"Yes!" While continuing to walk forward, Arnold explained to Wang Xu: "This is already close to the second line of defense on the edge of the Elven Forest, and it is also guarded by the Praetorian Guards, but the Praetorian Guards stationed here are no longer based on strongholds as a form of defense, they are all legions of five or six thousand people, wandering around here, and these legions will have middle and low-level generals as commanders, and their combat effectiveness is very strong." ”
"How can we lure them over, we have a coalition of about 8,000 kobolds and pig-headed people in front of us, as long as we can attract a Praetorian Guard legion wandering nearby, we don't need to do anything, we can go directly!" Wang Xu asked Arnold in a low voice.
"I don't think we need to do anything to attract them, they should be here soon," Arnold said, glancing back at the thirty giant treemen who were already a kilometer away, twice as tall as the tallest tree, and added, "Those giant treemen are the coordinates, enough to attract the Praetorian Legion around here." ”
"Ahh
"What's wrong?" Arnold asked, puzzled.
"I've put an extreme explosive charm on the giant treeman, what if the Praetorian Guard army surrounds it and is killed and injured, what if I am really mistaken!" Wang Xu scratched his chin a little anxiously.
"Ahh
"Thank you," Wang Xu gratefully patted Arnold on the shoulder again, and then, taking a deep breath, he said to himself: "It seems that we can't continue to ambush them, in order not to hurt our own people, we have to take the initiative to attack." ”
"Nilou......" Wang Xu turned his head to look at his lover, and after biting his lower lip, he explained softly: "I don't want to destroy the forest, in order not to hurt our own people, you'd better control those giant treemen to rush into the enemy's formation, and in five minutes, all the Extreme Explosion Charms will explode, I can't stop it!"
"Well, I understand. This time, Nilou very much agreed with Wang Xu's decision, and knew very well that Wang Xu's plan was the best choice, although this would destroy a part of the forest, but in this way, not only would it not hurt its own people, but it would also weaken the number of enemies, which was almost a perfect plan.
"Boom ......" A muffled sound came from a distance, and I saw that the thirty giant tree men who were originally standing in the clearing, like large coordinates, waiting for the enemy to surround them, took a sharp step and rushed towards the enemy in the dense forest.
In less than a minute, all the Giant Treants rushed in front of the enemy and made contact with the vanguard of the enemy troops, and after another minute, all the Giant Treants were surrounded by the enemy, and after another minute, all thirty Giant Treants were cut down.
The enemies had just begun to cheer and prepare to celebrate their victory, when the sudden flash of fire instantly reflected the dim forest...... (To be continued.) )
