Chapter 36: Chaos and Fighting
There will already be snowflakes in the southern hemisphere in August, unlike the mage kingdom that has a large number of mage towers, so that the climate has no normal changes, in Al Salin, most areas are still typical temperate monsoon season, in the cold winter, professionals are naturally not taboo about hot and cold, but the lack of forage also makes El Salin, the western frontier of the Monster Forest, not weaker than the scale of the beast tide of the mage kingdom, of course, just after the catastrophe, this year's beast tide is very fragmented.
Different from herbivorous Warcraft, carnivorous Warcraft even if they are Level 1, their attack ability is also very strong, and long-term hunting has also endowed them with more superb skills, at most, they are much inferior to herbivorous Warcraft in terms of physical strength and defense, but for this year's beast disaster, Lawn's small 70,000 people can still resist it!
Lawn's legion is on the side adjacent to the Warcraft Forest, presenting a small semicircular defense line around a section of the city wall, in the center of the defense line, there are Lawn with thousands of directly subordinate members of the 10,000-person team to collect Warcraft corpses and deal with emergencies, and other warriors are like Lawn's three batches of rotations, the current beast tide is not the dense that Lawn experienced at that time, it is also a hungry and crazy beast group, but the number is sparse, and the distance between each other is very wide, but many wolves and lions of Warcraft still maintain a complete group hunting, and are not scattered by a large number of other species of Warcraft, but the threat is slightly greater。 In Lawn's eyes, the whole line of defense was very easy, at least at first.
The warriors happily surrounded and killed a small number of demonic beasts, and in the distance, there were demonic beasts chasing the conspicuous food of Bloody and Lawn, and came to send them to death. All the ones who arrived were low-level demonic beasts, although there were many demonic beasts, and Lawne recognized that they had very high-level bloodlines, but they had only grown for three or five years, and their rank was still far behind.
The warriors easily harvest the monsters, because of the weakening of the beast plague, even the merchants are stationed in the city, there are a few in the camp of Lawn, they will leave the meat that Lawn needs, and the materials will be directly exchanged for gold coins, which will be used as military pay for the soldiers, and the soldiers are more like fishermen, casting nets to receive goods! In other city gates, there are even hunting teams spontaneously formed by mercenary unions, which also add some income, which Lawn did not refuse, attract more mercenaries, and when the main force of the beast tide arrives, there will be more helpers.
The harvest season has passed for a month, a month's time, the biggest harvest is that many civilians have advanced to the 4th order, compared to the nobles, the commoners who can become the 4th order are the more talented classes, as long as the materials are in place, they still have the possibility of advancement, but the nobles are the opposite, they are almost to their limits, they will be arranged to Lawn's legion to die, in this way, it also buries hidden dangers, the commander's combat power began to lag behind his soldiers, fortunately, the strength of several captains is high enough, and Lawn himself promised that the 5th order will be directly appointed as a commander of thousands of commanders, and take charge of the army that will be replenished later, however, this is obviously not a long-term solution。
Fortunately, Lawn's legion is weak enough, and there are probably not many who can really advance to the 5th order in the future... According to the experience of the last beast tide, the remaining week is almost the peak of the beast tide, and the 4th order of the Warcraft that I have seen recently has become very common, coupled with the messy talent spells, it puts a lot of pressure on the defense line, and this time the number of 5th order Warcraft has also begun to increase.
In Lawn's camp, Lawn is also very distressed, he has the intention to let the team refuse to defend the city, by this time, the beast tide is no longer his legion can easily resist, but unfortunately, both soldiers and commanders are carried away by the huge gains, Lawn has always been an equal share of the local tyrant policy so that the army has harvested countless gold coins, neither soldiers nor commanders do not want to return to the city at this time, because that means that most of the harvest will become the rations of the monsters; rationally, Lawn is naturally willing to preserve his strength, these soldiers and horses have gone through the defensive battle of the beast tide, and there are already some troops, and it is not worth the damage at this time; on the other hand, Lawn also has selfish intentionsIf you can withstand the pressure, even if you can only save 10,000 pure 4~5 level soldiers in the end, it is much more useful than these soldiers who initially have the appearance of warriors and are actually cannon fodder!
In the end, the high morale of the warriors withstood the impact of the 5th order, and helped Lawne make the decision to gamble, instead of dying in vain on the front-line battlefield, it is better to let them fulfill their wishes here, and voluntarily die, so that the remaining people can use more resources to become the elite who can really survive on the front-line battlefield.
The battle was so easily set by Lawn, behind me I am afraid that there are countless lonely souls and wild ghosts and the surviving Lawn faithfully surrounded, life is always so fragile on the battlefield, the low-level warriors who failed to advance fell like waste paper in front of the 5th-order demonic beasts, and then, there were countless warriors shouting, working together to kill the 5th-order demonic beasts in front of them, the defense line was getting smaller and smaller, the layers of warriors kept falling, and some warriors kept making up, the so-called formation was meaningless at this moment, the only thing that could be done was for several people to work together to kill the fifth-order demonic beasts in an instant, and then expose their backs and become wounded or corpses。
The battle line is also unsustainable, step by step retreat, and by this time the battle line has retreated to a very small range at the gate of the city, here the commanders of all the ten thousand commanders with the strength of the strength of the finally barely stabilized the battle line, what they got is greater fighting enthusiasm and more abundant harvest of the soldiers! With the cover of the captain, the casualties will naturally gradually become smaller, and the red-eyed warrior gate will be killed, I am afraid that even if Lawn orders to retreat at this time, no one will listen, whether it is for profit or pure madness!
"These are the fighting methods of the front-line warriors! This is how the people of El Salin have besieged the gap in the city wall!" Feranna was also deeply shocked at this moment, and now the state of the warriors is the level of the first-line warriors! Generations of El Salin's people are shouting like this, pounce on them layer by layer, and destroy their enemies or be destroyed by the enemy! This is the fate of the warriors......
In this infinitely powerful world, the scheme will always seem so dark and weak! Just as Cassie mocks those nobles, any bloody warrior is entitled to laugh at those who hide behind their backs and do evil. Raune was also a little infected, but he couldn't rush forward like a warrior, in the face of all possible injuries, Raune stood at the head of the city, while looking at the blood and courage of the warriors below, while destroying the 5th order and a very small number of 6th-order demonic beasts not far from the defense line, this is the biggest reason why this front did not collapse!
Under the small space of the city gate, the beast tide that was not dense appeared dense, even so, the warriors still had no fear, the roar of the voice never stopped, and the wisps of blood never stopped, just like that, tens of thousands of people took turns to maintain a small front!
It's a pity that Lawn, who is the bearer of the pig's foot aura, can't be left without accidents around him! such as that stupid DeWitt......
Behind the city walls, which Lawne couldn't pay attention to, a farce of the nobility was staged, and Dewitt, who was the deputy commander of the legion, hired the mercenaries in the city, stealing the spoils that Lawne promised to belong to everyone, but he also did things in a grand and undisguised manner, so that many soldiers and mercenaries who were waiting in the rear to plug the gap and dispose of the loot by the way caused a confrontation.
"Get out of here, you mud legs, all the gains of the Legion belong to the Legion! You untouchables, how dare you obstruct me, as the Legion Commander, from choosing the spoils of war?"
"Fart, Captain Lawn said, everything is sold to the merchant, and the gold coins are divided equally!" There is a warrior who looks like a leader, and he doesn't give in at all, as a newly promoted fourth-order warrior, there are many such newly promoted Captain Centurions in Lawn's team, and they are also the people who have the deepest contradictions with the nobles who recruited them.
"Rolling is not a nobleman? The royal family is also a noble! Rolling has said that the gold coins sold to the merchants are divided equally, are these gold coins? When you exchange the gold coins, you are qualified to share them equally with Lao Tzu! Without Lao Tzu's wise leadership, you can have these benefits, get out of here!"
The bad thing is the mercenaries, they don't think it's a big deal to see the excitement, ignore the opposition of the fighters, and start to carry out their tasks, and the guards who are responsible for the teeth and claws are intimidating the soldiers not to get close, but in the team, many mercenaries put the most valuable occasional high-level (6th-order) magic cores, carrying DeWitt, secretly in their pockets, and these actions were completely seen by the soldiers!
Originally, it was a very common trick for mercenaries to fool stupid nobles, but the audience was the owners of these trophies, those warriors who were desperately working not far away! The morale of the legion at this time was more than a wealth and wealth, and basically every soldier could get more than 10,000 gold coins as promised by Lawn, and these were the future that they fought for their lives to earn for their families, and it was a future with abundant food and clothing! However, a mercenary who had not been stained with blood took away ten or a hundred people!
In the end, the soldiers who were half-surrounded by the mercenaries did not wait for the soldiers who came to the city to find Lawn's news, and a battle broke out! In normal times, they would have waited for Lawne to administer justice, and they also believed that Lawne would help them, when Lawne killed the war-fearing captain, when Lawne turned the tide and drove away the "Grim Reaper" who was chasing him, when Lawne led them to reflexively attack the demon herd, Centurion Adair became Lawne's most loyal supporter, and many people present were like this! However, after a bloody battle, they only saw their bright future at this time, and they were trampled by the nobles in front of them and their dogs!
However, the battle is very close to the fragile defense line at the city gate, and the warrior gate who is fighting regardless of life and death, how should he react? Lawn, just listening to the report to himself from the messenger soldier, thinking about quickly making a big move, solve the more and more 6th-order demonic beasts nearby, and then deal with it, but the defense line at the gate of the city was so under the annotation of Lawn and the messenger soldier, it collapsed, and Lawn saw a sharp figure who seemed to be a captain being swallowed by the demonic beast, at this moment, he hated himself a little for being a mage, and every spell needed time to build!
The reason for the collapse of the battle line was just that a few mercenaries who rushed with their strength actually hit the gate of the city, forcing the soldiers on the front line to reflexively defend, and then, it was a chaotic three-way melee! Fortunately, the 7th-order spell that Lawn hurriedly constructed was completed, temporarily blocking most of the demonic beasts, and in order to be safe, he threw more than a dozen magic crystals to borrow the fire sea technique released by the magic core, blocking the defense line, and at the same time kicked off the city wall with the basket used to pull people up in an emergency, jumped directly off the city wall along the rope, and when he left, he also yelled at the soldier who sent the message: "Wait here! Wait a minute, I will stabilize the situation below, close the city gate, and pull me up!" Without waiting for the small soldier to reply, he went down to the bottom of the city wall.
He didn't dare to gamble, so he could only jump down like this, otherwise when he came down the city wall, he didn't know how far things would go, and the fire technique he threw couldn't stop the crazy beasts for too long! When the beast tide poured into the city, there might not be a few civilians left in the city!
When he came to the city, he was relieved to see that the soldiers were still defending in the city gate hole, but when he saw the mercenaries attacking the soldiers, he didn't say a word of nonsense, and directly counted the fire arrows to solve the mercenaries in his sight, and without waiting for the soldiers to breathe a sigh of relief, he gave a loud order: "Close the city gate for me!" No matter how many deaths you die, even if you are stabbed in the back, you will immediately close the city gate for Lao Tzu!" By the way, a lift, the big sword swept the demonic beasts with their backs to it, the flames came out with anger, several demonic beasts were slapped to the ground, and the soldiers were busy all the time, and finally cleared the blockage of the city gate and slowly closed the city gate......
The soldiers were busy closing the city gate, and Lawn was alone in the face of the beast tide! At this moment, the weakness of the mage was clearly revealed, and there was a strong attack on the fire and rain technique in the sky, but there were still many monsters close to him, and Lawn was holding a sword in both hands, and he couldn't even save time to cast spells! can only directly borrow the elemental crystals in the brain to keep the instantaneous rapid fire arrows, while maintaining the fire shield, and at the same time holding the sword with one hand to block the deadly attack, if he is in the city, a few strong attack fire rain techniques can be solved, but at this time, Lawn has no chance to control a spell for a long time, as for carving the magic core, it can only wait for Lawn to grow the fourth hand, the third hand Lawn must not hesitate to take out the staff of fire rage, the magic core can only be in the fourth place.
Until the gate was closed, Lawne was not killing the Warcraft, but took out the staff of Fire Fury, while preparing the 8th-order spell Yanfury, while holding the sword in one hand barely maintained the defense, until the Fire Fury was completed, Lawn did not care about the danger, and threw it directly close, and then pulled the rope, fortunately, the soldier kept paying attention to Lawn, and reacted instantly, Lawn just took the clouds and fog on the other side and received the destruction of the opponent's own spell and the talent spell of the Warcraft in the distance on the other side, and the back was full of Huoola spicy pain, accompanied by anger towards DeWitt, and went up to the city wall!
DeWitt! It's DeWitt again! Why can this fool survive until now! Lawn's heart was infinitely angry, regardless of the blurred flesh and blood behind him, he kicked the little soldier who was passing the message, and motioned for him to lead the way, as for the soldier who was kicked, this kind of "love" of the commander for the soldier, the soldier still could bear it!
Under the city walls, I don't know how many mercenaries DeWitt has hired, the melee is still ongoing, the strength of the mercenaries is higher than that of the soldiers, but there is no threat of demonic beasts behind the soldiers, and they are fighting for the rest of their lives, and there is no ambiguity in fighting, especially in groups! Some of the mercenaries shouted loudly to stop, and they were a little sensible, knowing that they were at a loss, and they didn't dare to do it; most of them kept fighting in order to save their lives, as for whether to save their lives or desperately, Lawne didn't have the ability to shout at this time, but let the little soldiers who were talking shout to let the soldiers stop, Lawn himself didn't stop at all, and kept shooting the mercenaries who were still fighting with spells, but fortunately, as more and more people stopped fighting and shouted to help, the battle gradually subsided, and the mercenaries were surrounded by soldiers with DeWitt, at this time, DeWitt also knew that he was in trouble, but he still didn't know the current affairs and shouted that someone else moved first!
Does it still make sense to do it first or later?
Lawn pushed aside the crowd, ignored his injuries, and asked loudly: "Captain Wan's reply, which unlucky ghost died just now?" This is what Lawn is most concerned about, the death of Captain Wan's represents the reduction of Lawn's highest combat power, and it is distressing to die a Lawn!
"It's Abel who died, and before I could save him, he was dismembered by the Demon Beast!" Cork Tang answered Lawn's question, Lawn's heart was slightly better, he was not a sixth-order warrior, but a fifth-order commander who had just been promoted, so the loss was slightly smaller.
The staff in Lawn's hand made room for him to be cleared by the soldiers around him, the legion commander spoke, and the soldiers consciously gave up a little space, but Lawn's flesh and blood blurred back also fell in the eyes of the soldiers, and at this moment it seemed that the legion commander who was alone was more majestic in the soldier's impression.
Lawn was the first to call out the centurion Adair, listening to him explain the subsequent situation, Lawn, who learned the reason, did not go to the trouble of his own soldiers, this bias still has to be there, Lawn stared at the mercenary with unkind eyes, and came with a hellish dark voice: "Hand over everything on your body, or die!"
At the same time, a rapid fire arrow technique killed the mercenaries who still wanted to justify, and blocked all the mercenaries' explanations! At this time, the mercenaries did not dare to resist, not to mention that they were already at a loss, even if they did, as an 8th-order Lawn, would not listen to their explanations, wasting time!
Pressing all the mercenaries aside and killing the soldiers, Lawne will not let them go easily, however, now that there is a main culprit to deal with, Devit squatted between the mercenaries with his head in his hands, without the prestige of the nobles, and only muttered and repeated: It was not his own hand that moved first, and he didn't notice that the mercenaries surrounded by the group had left.
Raun actually couldn't deal with DeWitt directly, because it was Raun's soldiers who made the first move, which caused a riot, but Raun wouldn't give DeWitt a chance to try at the military court, because that would only affect the soldiers, and Raun's losses were enough!
"Do you want to die or live?"
