Chapter 209: Follow the routine

Entering the repetitive battle mode again, the skillful almost stay in muscle memory, and there is almost no need to think about one move and one style. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info This made Kevin inevitably feel a little distracted, remembering some things in the past, and he couldn't help but feel a trace of sadness in his heart.

However, I believe that this time is not as short as the bandit, and it is estimated that the longest half a day is one or two hours, and the other party will inevitably stop. There were more than a thousand bandits in the Carudia Hills at that time, and there should have been no more than two hundred gnolls here. No matter how many jackals there are, then this area can't support them, just like a lion herd can't be more than a herd of cattle, and a tiger is one on a mountain, no matter how many natural laws don't allow it.

And at the beginning, the bandits were not afraid of death, and at that time they thought they would cross, but these gnolls were different. Even if the beast is fierce, if the casualties exceed a certain range when hunting, it will inevitably choose to retreat. Once injured, the combat effectiveness decreases in a short period of time, and it is a problem to fight. In normal times, the main means of robbery by jackals is also sneak attack.

Compared with Kevin's side, plus Sain, Jack and Xiao Jiu have four people in rotation, one person blocking the intersection is much easier than once only three people in rotation and two people blocking two intersections. The Dark Elves can make him sleep directly. Outside the cave, there is also the strongest master, Little Spoon, waiting for the opportunity to respond, and there is also Jack, a wind mage, inside the cave, and there are a variety of tactical plans to save the scene at critical moments.

And even if an accident happens, it's not difficult to hold the hole. There were also parrots and crows who could move rescuers outside, and when there were bandits, the communication was completely cut off, but even then Kevin stayed for eight days. Kevin's so-called experience in leading troops for about a week refers to this time.

In the final analysis, in the same situation, it is easier to defend a city than to attack it, because of the geographical advantage. If Kevin brings someone over and directly attacks the entrance of the gnolls' cave, it will inevitably be damaged, and it is not worth it for some money. But now, it has become the hole where the other party attacked Kevin, and the damage has become them, and it means that Kevin also has a good stronghold.

"I'm a little tired, substitutions. Kevin raised his hand to kill a gnoll and took advantage of the opponent's gap to retreat, and Sain scurried up in an oblique step, lifting the shield on top.

After retreating, Kevin relaxed slightly, rubbed his arm and shook his wrist, turned his head to look at the dark elf, and saw that he was still sitting upright on the ground, his eyes still staring at the battle.

"Look at what?" said Kevin, "stop looking, hurry up and go to bed." You'll have to stand guard at night. ā€

"Can I sleep now?" the dark elf couldn't help but scold. It is true that now the sword is smashing and the jackal is still screaming, and it is indeed not the environment to sleep.

"I don't care about that," Kevin put away his sword as he picked up his crossbow and waited for an opportunity to attack, "Either way, it's yours to stand guard at night." I've given you time to sleep, if you can't sleep, it's your business, you have to know that this is the battlefield. ā€

The dark elf sneered: "Are you so sure you won't have an accident?"

Kevin glanced at him, stopped talking nonsense, and found a gap to shoot arrows. The dark elves had no choice but to watch for a while, the gnolls had already died 5 and wounded at least a dozen, but there was still no sign of breaking through their defenses, it seemed that this tactic was indeed feasible. But it's too hard to get him to sleep right now.

Suddenly, the cry of the gnolls changed, and it seemed that the leader felt that the casualties were too great and ordered him to retreat. The gnolls in front of him who were in contact with Sain immediately took a defensive stance and began to turn back step by step. Sain stood still and didn't move, behind him Kevin and the others hurriedly shot through the gap in Sain's body with crossbow arrows.

The arrow whizzed, but it was not the jackal in the front, but the second or third in the back, and it was not the body, but the leg. Kevin's eyes weren't good, but the distance of a few meters was still fine, and the arrow accurately hit the thigh or calf of the second and third jackals.

If he was hit by an arrow in the leg, he was lame, and the second and third were lame, and the first one was also blocked and couldn't run. In just a moment, Kevin and the others sent out follow-up arrows, and the three gnolls immediately fell into the hole. Sain walked slowly to the entrance of the cave with his sword and shield, and Kevin followed behind him, and the gnolls lying on the ground had two more swords around their necks to prevent them from dying.

Outside the cave, the gnolls had retreated to a distance of three or five meters, still surround them. A few gnolls who seemed to be a little stronger got together to discuss something.

The two sides didn't understand the language, and there was nothing to say, so they just waited for a while. The gnoll howls and launches a second attack.

This time they began to change their minds, they began to throw stones, and some even threw the flail directly. Sain was not in a hurry, slowly retreated while blocking, and then retreated into the hole, flashing to the side, and it was directly a dead corner.

The entrance of the cave is small and the space inside the cave is large, even if they are throwing stones at the entrance of the cave, they will not be able to hit Kevin and the others, unless they can turn the stones. If you want to kill Kevin and the others, you have to come in for melee combat after all.

Sure enough, the gnolls realized in a moment that this was useless, so the second group charged in, and Sain continued to top, and the combat mode returned. For Kevin and the others, this gnoll is intellectually worried, and he knows that he will come to die, and he has to rush forward one by one.

But for the gnolls, the gnolls outside the hole behind them can't see what's going on inside, and they can't really feel how dangerous they are inside. It is a kind of inertia for them to rush forward, which also leads to the fact that even if the person in front of them wants to run, they can't run. Even if the leader gives an order, it must be retreated from the back first, and the front can withdraw, and with this time difference, the people in front basically die inside.

The gnolls also seem to have thought of a lot of methods, such as trying to squeeze in, even if the first one is hacked to death, they have to push the corpse in. But this tactic Kevin had already expected, raised his hand and took a spear across the hole, and the two ends were against the cave wall, and the jackal's strong charge was immediately blocked by the spear at the waist, plus Kevin and others aimed at their legs in the rear to shoot arrows, it was difficult to exert force at all.

In a moment, Sain was tired, and Xiao Jiu was on top. Xiao Jiu was good at whipping when he was an assassin, but at this time, this kind of place was also the most suitable for swords and shields.

After another moment, the leader could not stand it anymore and ordered a retreat, and the gnolls left a dozen or so corpses, and many more wounded. While they were retreating, they kicked out the gnoll corpses and piled them up at the mouth of the cave to the shocking sight.

"There are obviously a lot fewer people," Xiao Jiu stood at the entrance of the cave and observed, "but they don't look like they're leaving." ā€

The dark elves suddenly became anxious again: "Then if they besiege and don't attack, we will starve to death!"

Kevin took two steps over, forcibly pinned him to the ground, and then closed his eyes: "You sleep!"

The dark elves struggled to sit up: "I don't sleep!"

"And what do you think you can do now?" Kevin asked, "You can only sleep!"

The dark elf was stunned, thinking that it really seemed that he could only sleep.

Suddenly, the gnolls outside the cave moved again, but instead of attacking, they were looking around. It seems that they are looking for branches, wood, etc., and some even kick down small trees and drag them all over.

"Oh, you're going to be attacked?" Kevin still looked calm, "Don't worry, let's see how they burn, Jack, you are ready." ā€

Jack was full of confidence and stood behind Xiao Jiu. From the beginning of the battle to the present, he has not cast a single spell, and he must be able to surprise the gnolls.

The gnolls first pile together firewood such as twigs and wood, and then pick up flints and light them. These people may look like wild beasts, but it is still possible to light a fire. As the bonfire burned, the leader gave the order, and the jackals on the side picked up wood and branches and threw them into the hole.

For a while, the wooden branches smashed over like raindrops, and Xiao Jiu retreated and retreated into the cave. The gnolls were very happy when they saw it, but unfortunately they did not have flammable substances such as fire oil, so they could only use ordinary wood, and if they were quick in the cave, they might be able to use their feet to extinguish it.

There is no other way out of the cave, and even if it doesn't burn them, it will smoke them.

However, there is always a big gap between the wish and the reality, not only can the fire not burn in the cave, but a strange wind blows all the smoke out. It stands to reason that the smoke from the fire must go up, and the gnolls below the hillside must be fine, but this time the smoke actually went in all directions, and everyone in the entire encirclement was smoked.

The gnolls didn't pay attention, they insisted that we couldn't stand the smoke, and the people in the cave must be even more uncomfortable, so they threw wood even more frantically.

The jackals' eyes began to be unable to open, and they began to subconsciously bow their heads, rub their eyes, shed tears, and cover their faces......

Arrows shot out of the hole, and several gnolls fell to the ground in response, without even dodging or parrying, like half of a target being shot. This kind of opportunity Kevin and others where will be missed. The leader finally felt that something was not right, but he was also too smoked to open his eyes, and at this point he raised his shackle to say something.

Suddenly, there was a movement in the tree behind him, and a spear came from the back of his head, and the jackal man who was suspected of being the leader didn't have time to react at all, and was immediately passed through his head, and he died on the spot without even snorting, and several jackals around him couldn't even react. It turned out to be a small spoon that had been lurking around, and seeing that the timing was too good, he finally couldn't help but make a move.

As soon as the little spoon made a move, it was tantamount to giving Kevin a signal. Suddenly, Kevin and the others collectively rushed out, and finally began to counterattack! The leader was killed, and the screams of all kinds of gnolls were heard, and in an instant, the gnolls had no fighting spirit and turned around and fled en masse.

At this time, the inconspicuous small pits that Kevin had originally dug nearby played a role, and these pits were so small that they couldn't trap the jackals in the first place. But at this time, they were extremely flustered, and their eyes were foggy, and many gnolls stepped on the air and immediately rolled down.

On a hillside, when one person rolls, it is easy to cause a group of people to roll. At this point, the gnolls have almost completely lost their combat effectiveness, and how many people Kevin and the others can kill depends entirely on how many arrows they bring. Standing in place, there was no threat, one person in one direction, one arrow and one target, screams and cries around him.

It only lasted for a long time before it quieted down, and the jackals fled to death, and many injured people who couldn't escape directly lay on the ground and pretended to be dead.

"Alright, clean up the battlefield, remember to mend the corpses," Kevin instructed, "we won this time, and everyone fought well." But don't be too happy, maybe it's just their vanguard, and we will continue to sleep in the cave at night. Wait two days for observation. ā€

"I'm thinking about a question," Sain said suddenly, "I remember you said you dealt with the bandits, and you did the same. But you didn't have a mage that time, didn't the bandits attack with fire?"

Kevin sighed: "The main purpose of the bandits was actually my catapult, and the five pairs of weight-bearing wheels of the catapult played very well in the military exercise at that time, and they wanted to." The fire attack could burn out my car, so they preferred to go hard that time. ā€

"I see. Sain nodded.

When I turned around, I saw the dark elf standing at the entrance of the cave, looking at all this dumbfounded.

Kevin smiled, "What's wrong?"

Dark Elf: "......"
