Chapter 82: Fierce Battle in the Canyon
Woo!
The sound of a low trumpet sounded in the city of Dolai, and the gate of the wooden gate burst open, and two fierce goblin knights rushed out of the city gate, their black armor, shiny battle axes, and the mighty bronze-armored rhinoceros mounts under their crotches, all showing their status among the tribe.
Hundreds of goblin warriors followed, not as well equipped as knights, but armed with a metal weapon, and fierce and murderous.
More common green-skinned goblins are crammed in the middle, mostly auxiliaries and archers, winning entirely by numbers.
At the end of the line were two black-robed wizards on gray camels and a black elf archer, surrounded by dozens of heavily armed servants.
The team left Tucheng and quickly headed northeast.
"They're out!"
The sight of the Diyan tribe's army completely falling into the eyes of Leon on the mountain, a faint smile appeared on his face - the plan to lure the enemy was successful.
The helper who was chased and killed by the leopard scouts was none other than Holm, who had already been dead set on the Hammer Tribe, and the attack on the Degas tribe was of course fake, and the hunt was just a bitter ploy to win the enemy's trust.
At the beginning, the greedy and fearful of death Holm did not dare to deceive Terina, it had heard more or less about the other party's cruel reputation when it was in the Green Fields Tribe, and was afraid that the matter would be revealed and that he would die without a place to bury.
But under Leon's coercion and temptation, it can only obey orders.
Leon thought of the lines of the response for it, and in terms of details, it was repeatedly scrutinized based on the information obtained to ensure that there were no loopholes in it, and a special process drill was also conducted.
In order to ensure that the guy would not rebel again, Leon also had Akran cast a small spell on it to deceive and threaten it.
In fact, a lot of Leon's work on the details was wasted, because Terina was so easily fooled that she didn't have the slightest doubt about Holm's words.
The reason for this is simple, because in previous wars, the orcs almost never used any intrigues, and the orc warriors and warriors admired bravery, fought above board, and despised the so-called vile tricks.
It's just that the Thunder Beast Battle Camp created by Leon does not play cards according to the conventional routine of the beast clan.
"Well done Home," Leon turned to Akran next to him and smiled, "It's time to look at us!"
The mage nodded, clenching the staff in his hand tightly, his eyes shining with excitement.
It's less than half a day's journey from the city of Dolai to the goblin Dega tribe, but the road is rough and difficult to walk through a forested canyon and over a mountain range.
The black elf, eager to make a meritorious achievement, urged the team to speed up, and soon passed through a forest and entered the canyon.
This long, narrow canyon is steep and lined with dense jungle, and it is the gateway to the north of the Mirror Lake region, where the Greenfield tribe once entered the northern part of the Wuthering Forest.
Due to the terrain, the team of more than 1,000 goblins was pulled into a long line, and the speed of movement inevitably slowed down due to the blocking of falling rocks, vines, and dead branches on the road.
The goblin wizard rode on the slow back of a gray hunchback, and his heart was extremely unhappy.
When it was requisitioned, it was concocting a curse potion, and a lot of precious materials were thrown into the cauldron at a critical moment, but a password from Terina, it had to put down its work and go to war with the army, and all the materials could only be wasted.
There's nothing more disgusting to a wizard than interrupting his work, but no one in the Earthflame tribe can resist Terina, not the Goblin Knight, and neither can it.
The wizard couldn't help but think of ancient times, when the goblins once built a glorious civilization empire in the underworld, when the elves were just natives living in the surface forests.
Unexpectedly, in just a thousand years, the elves have become the overlords of the Glorious Continent, and the goblins have become vassals of the elves, playing the role of cannon fodder slaves.
Looking at the swaggering black elf archer walking in front of him, the wizard's mood became worse and worse.
I don't know what to be proud of, rotten thing ridden by 10,000 people! Sooner or later, I will see how you die! It cursed fiercely in its heart.
At this time, a sudden change occurred in the canyon!
Whoa!
The goblin wizard's curse seemed to have an immediate effect, and without warning, countless arrows were shot from the dense forest on both sides of the canyon, and they were shot at them with a roar of death!
How could this be? The wizard's mind went blank.
Riding on a tall grey hunchback, it became the first target of the rain of arrows. Before he could react, he was already pierced by four or five crossbow arrows!
"Ahh
It let out a short scream, and fell from the hunchback, and died unjustly!
The goblin wizard was the first to suffer, by no means the last, and a dense stream of feathered arrows and crossbow arrows shrouded the rear of the team, targeting the two wizards and the Black Elf archers.
In the jungle on both sides of the canyon, the sneak attackers have revealed their figures, they are of course the warriors of the thunder beast battle camp, and they have been waiting for the goblins to enter the trap for a long time!
Ninety archers, thirty scouts of part-time crossbowmen, and one hundred and twenty sharp arrows in the first wave of arrows, aimed at the most threatening wizard among the goblins, and the black elf archers as commanders were only piggybacked.
Because of this, when the two wizards were caught off guard and shot into a sieve, the Black Elf archer leaped from the back of the grey hunchback, avoiding several sharp arrows flying towards her.
Behind her, the goblin warriors fell down in unison, screaming one after another.
Before the man landed, the black elf turned around in the air and took off the longbow, and shouted loudly in his hand: "Enemy attack, fight!"
Before she could finish speaking, another thunderous roar resounded through the canyon!
"Shuttle gun projection!"
Whoosh! Whoosh!
In an instant, hundreds of shuttle spears swept a distance of tens of meters and rained down on the goblins.
The damage brought to the goblins by these powerful pike spears far exceeded that of the arrows, and those goblin warriors who were shot would inevitably be crucified to the ground.
Their thin leather armor could not withstand the power of the spear, and even the warriors with shields suffered greatly from the ambush and sneak attack.
There are also some unlucky people who are not completely hit and do not die for a while, and the wails they make after being nailed to the ground are simply numbing and will break.
The dripping blood instantly stained the ground of the canyon red, and the single projection of more than two hundred shuttle guns took away the lives of more than a hundred goblins, and the green-skinned goblins were even shot through two with one shot!
A rain of arrows, a wave of spears, the rear of the goblins were almost completely cleaned, although the death toll was only about a tenth, but the impact was enormous.
The long ranks were thrown into chaos and collapse, and at the most critical moment, they lost their commander.
The black elf archer had a chance to escape, but the rage of the sneak attack overwhelmed her sanity, and after avoiding the first wave of arrows, she thought about launching a counterattack.
This doomed her to a tragic fate, because Leon happened to have his sights on her.
As the black elf landed on the ground and drew his longbow, Leon, who was in the jungle on the hillside on the left, unleashed a full blow......
This blow was delivered with his left hand, and he used his soul power to stimulate the power of thunder and lightning, which was poured into a special metal shuttle gun, which made the throwing power of the shuttle gun skyrocket.
The blue thunderbolt swam rapidly on the swarthy body of the gun, and the power of the elements made the body of the gun rotate violently, and the speed of the flight was comparable to that of thunder and lightning, almost in an instant, it swept a distance of tens of meters, and hit the target accurately and ferociously.
The rotating metal spear head has an extremely strong penetrating ability, and the black elf's body protection light armor is as vulnerable as paper paste, and the entire shuttle gun directly penetrates the black elf's body, leaving a fist-sized blood hole on her touching **!
The black elf was stunned for a moment, a look of disbelief in her dark purple eyes, and the emerald green longbow slipped silently from her hand.
She wanted to say something but couldn't, the life in her eyes quickly dimmed, her high head drooped, and she stood in place and died.
"Shuttle guns shoot continuously!"
After killing the Black Elf Archer with a single shot, Leon shouted angrily, "Target, midway!"
"Drink!"
Two hundred warriors shouted in unison and threw a second wave of pike spears, while archers and scouts quickly shifted the focus of their attacks, and thousands of greenskin goblin auxiliaries and archers became new targets.
Deeply influenced by modern combat thinking, Leon paid great attention to long-range firepower, and in addition to archers and crossbowmen, he equipped each tomahawk and sword and shield hand with three special pike guns, which he would never engage in short-range contact combat without throwing the pike first.
While allowing his own warriors to have the ability to attack from a distance, he also attaches great importance to the strike of the enemy's long-range troops, so in this ambush battle in the canyon, he let go of the elite goblin knights and warriors in front of him, and aimed the first target at the wizard.
With the wizard down, the green-skinned goblin archer is, of course, the focus of Leon's attack.
The green-skinned goblins are undoubtedly the weakest among the goblins, their inferior strength and low IQ allow them to play some role in a tailwind battle, and the salvo of bows and arrows also has a lot of deterrent power.
However, in the event of an ambush and the death of their leader, the leaderless greenskinned goblins were the first to appear in confusion, and they let out a grunt cry of terror.
Some wanted to rush forward, some retreated, some fired arrows indiscriminately into the hillside, and thousands of goblins crowded and shoved each other in the narrow valley.
And when the arrows and pike guns descended on the goblins, rows of green-skinned goblins fell to the ground like wheat stubble, blood splattered and screamed, and the rabble was completely defeated.
The sight of the fear of blood and death, which makes them drop their weapons, let out a shrill howl like a child, run and jump helplessly, or simply crouch on the ground with their heads in their hands and cry, is enough to make people stunned.
However, the battle in the canyon did not end there, and it just entered the most critical moment.
The two goblin knights who had been walking in the front finally woke up from the shock and stunned of the sudden blow.
They were all battle-hardened men, and they would never panic because of the death of the black elves, and immediately issued orders to command the intact goblin warriors to launch a counterattack.
"Go up the hill, rush up!" a goblin knight howled as he raised his spear aloft, the body of the spear made of refined iron shining with the unique light of fighting spirit.
In order to rescue the so-called attacked Degas tribe, Terina sent five hundred goblin warriors at once, plus two knights, two wizards, and thousands of greenskin goblins, which was enough to crush a medium-sized orc tribe.
However, such a powerful force was almost the target of slaughter under Leon's scheme, how could this not make the two arrogant goblin knights furious.
Five hundred goblin warriors immediately roared, swinging their battle axes and trying to climb the hillside wall, trying to launch a counterattack against the thunderbeast camp from both sides.
Rumble!
A huge fireball suddenly flew out of the mountain forest, and exploded in the middle of the goblin warriors, and countless hot fire points flew in all directions.
The two goblin warriors were directly scorched, and the flying fire fell on the surrounding goblins and ignited, burning the goblin warriors who screamed loudly and rolled on the ground to try to extinguish the flames.
This was just the beginning, with this fireball as the guide, hundreds of small fireballs flew out of the woods, giving the goblin warriors crowded in the canyon a taste of barbecue, and the scene was suddenly chaotic.
"Magician!" the goblin knight's eyes immediately turned red.
It roared and jumped off the bronze-armored rhinoceros's back, swung its tomahawk to block the flying fireballs, and rushed straight up the steep hill towards where the mage was.
The bravery of the high-ranking goblins was evident at this moment, and the inspired goblin warriors regained their strength and rushed more and more up the slopes on either side of the canyon, even when the arrows flew without flinching.
"Ready for battle!"
Seeing such a scene, Leon immediately gave a new order, and dozens of sword and shield men with large shields immediately met them, and the tomahawkers followed closely behind under their cover.
The two sides approached rapidly, and each could clearly see each other's hideous expressions, and the time had come to truly test the strength and will of the two armies.
Whew!
Seeing that the most bloody and cruel contact battle was about to break out, the sword and shield hand who rushed in front suddenly stopped and thrust the big shield in his hand into the ground.
The tomahawkers in the back threw a field of silver weapons in unison!
