Chapter Seventy-One: Soberness

Countless gnolls rushed from the snowy fields in the distance, the soft fluff on the soles of their feet was a good way to eliminate the sound of running, even if the gnolls were crowded, but the sound they made was still very small, and after only a few moments, the vanguard of the gnolls rushed to the fence of the camp.

The gnolls, under the command of their chief, carried the logs in groups and knocked over the horses, and used their leaping power beyond the humans, jumping over the deep ravine, and the fence that was a man and a half high could not stop their invasion at all, and from time to time a gnolls jumped into the camp.

In order to prevent the sleeping sentinels from waking up and sounding the alarm, they were all silently slit throats by the gnolls. Without the vigilance of the sentinels, now in the quiet of the camp, the gnolls can come and go as they please!

Seeing his soldiers coming in one after another, the gnoll chief had a vicious smile on his face, and he quietly commanded: "Now you scatter around, be careful not to wake up the sleeping humans, and then you can start killing!"

The soldiers, who had long been unable to hold back, let out a low roar from their slender mouths, and their bodies had already trembled slightly from excitement. The gnolls entered the tent in twos and threes, stared at the sleeping soldiers with fierce eyes, and took out their daggers and stabbed them in the heart.

The poor Imperial soldiers were attacked by the gnolls in their sleep and lost their lives. They attacked quickly, and within a few moments they were wiped out by hundreds of soldiers.

The smell of blood floating in the air gradually aroused the bloodthirsty nature of the gnolls, and one of them finally could not restrain his primitive desires, and disobeyed the orders of his commander and pounced on one of the soldiers and began to bite. The sleeping soldier was awakened by the pain, and his eyes widened in horror to find a wolf-headed monster gnawing on his body.

The soldier didn't sit still, he drew his short sword and stabbed it in the eye of the gnoll, and the gnoll fell to the ground, twitched a few times and stopped moving. The soldier clutched his wounded shoulder, panting and looking at the monster that had fallen to the ground in horror, what the hell is this? By the way, now is not the time to be stunned!

A moment later, the soldier secretly lifted a corner of the tent, and he was horrified to find that there were green eyes all over the vicinity, which meant that the camp had been invaded by monsters! Now the important thing was to inform everyone that the enemy was attacking the camp, what could be done? By the way, the herald brother in the tent next door had a horn!

With a sword in hand, he tiptoed to a nearby tent to secretly observe the situation inside. As he could see, there was no such monster in the tent, only the body of the herald lay on the ground. When he walked in front of him, the soldier also found that he was still holding the horn in his hand, as if he wanted to blow the horn to inform everyone, the soldier crouched down and closed his angry eyes, took out the blood-stained and slippery horn from his hand, took a deep breath of air and immediately blew the horn loudly.

Like thunder in the summer, a trumpet woke up the sleeping people, according to the instinctive reaction formed by the training on weekdays, the sound of this trumpet means that there is an enemy attack, the soldiers have gotten up and put on their armor, and the non-commissioned officers have also gone outside to command their subordinates.

The gnoll chief heard the trumpet and said in surprise: "Oh no, our whereabouts have been revealed, which guy has disobeyed my orders and woken up the humans!"

The subordinates shouted in a panic: "What should I do, my lord, should we withdraw the army now?"

The gnoll chief waved his hand and refused: "This time the task given to us is to kill the commander of the human striker, our position is already very close to his tent, while they have not fully reacted now, we will gather our forces and attack their commander's residence in one go, kill him and they will naturally disperse!"

Knowing what the chief meant, his men raised their heads and let out a strange howl, which they informed the gnolls to meet with them and prepare to attack the human commander's quarters.

The undressed soldiers were fighting the gnolls to the death, only to find that the enemy was no longer in love with the battle but wanted to gather and run in one place.

"What's going on! aren't there so many sentinels guarding the camp, why are the bugles of the night attack sounding?" asked Duke Wizz, anxiously as he hurriedly put on his armor with the help of the guards.

The guard officer helped Duke Wiz tie the rope of the armor behind him, wiped the sweat on his forehead and said, "I don't know, my lord, but I heard the soldiers in front shouting that a monster is coming!"

"Monsters, how is it possible! You go down at once and give me my order, that the non-commissioned officers and soldiers must guard this place, and do not let them go to His Majesty!" commanded Duke Wiz.

Seeing that Duke Wiz had put on his armor, the guard nodded and ran out. There were already a lot of panicked senior non-commissioned officers waiting outside the tent, and the guards they saw coming out rushed up anxiously, wanting to ask the duke about the next order.
