Chapter 323: Offensive and Defensive Battles (1)
Boom knock knock! Boom Knock Knock Knock......
Outside the originally quiet Kuhan Village, there was an exciting sound of war drums, it was like a huge heart on the battlefield, every beat injected courage and strength into the mercenaries, more than 3,000 mercenaries set up a formation outside Kuhan, listening to the sound of war drums, and looking at the fire in the distance.
Knock knock!
With the termination of the drums, there was only the sound of the wind blowing the grass around, Ai Dan understood, and the snowmen also understood that this was not a unilateral sneak attack by the snowman at all, but the battlefield of the battle was set outside Kuhan, and behind the mercenaries was everything they had, and the snowman's lair was hundreds of miles away, and there was no chance for any side to escape if they were defeated, both sides were fully prepared to fight, and this night was the night that decided the fate of Kuhan.
The campfire raised on the dock reflected the shadows of the villagers on the sea, and they gathered together, praying for the mercenaries' victory, Aunt Penella made hot tea for everyone to keep everyone warm for the evening, and Tyr knelt on the deck of the dock, facing the blue moon in the sky, reverently reverently chanting something.
Fergus of the blacksmith shop had a large ship, which was a last resort, and although they did not want to leave the place, if the mercenaries were lost, they would flee to Rochester on this large ship.
"You say...... Mercenaries, can you take it? β
"Definitely, they are very strong, they have guarded this land for so long, this time, it must be no problem."
"However, this time it's a legendary snowman, and it's a lot of snowmen."
"It's okay, even if it's a snowman, I believe in the Kablac mercenary group."
The villagers comforted each other with each other, the snowman was a monster used to scare children for them, and they never thought that it would really appear, and it was still attacking their village, but for the mercenaries who set up a formation outside the village, the snowman was just a demon who attacked humans.
More than 3,000 people existed at the entrance of Kuhan Village, except for the sound of the wind blowing grass and burning torches, no one made a sound, Kaye and more than 500 archers stood on the low city wall that had just been built, although they stood at the back of the battle array, but they aimed at the camouflaged ditch at the front of the battlefield, that place was the first line of defense for the mercenaries, as long as the snowman's feet touched the ground, they would fall into the trap, and under the trap were the spears that stood upright, and the snowmen who were not pierced by the spears needed the archers to shoot arrows and execute.
Standing at the forefront with more than a thousand shield soldiers, Gina calmly looked ahead, this is the second line of defense of the mercenaries, and when the snowman stepped through the dark ditch trap, they were the first people to fight with the snowman, but whether it was Gina, or more than a thousand shield soldiers, none of them flinched, the mercenaries passed their courage to each other, and the ice strawberry sweet wine prepared for them by the Kuhan villagers behind them also gave them a reason to swear to defend to the death.
The role of the shield soldiers is not only to resist damage, but also to break up the formation of the snowman, and after the formation of the snowman is completely dispersed, the attacking troops of the mercenary group need to go out to fight, this is a team led by Hawke, Gray, Philip, Delia, and Marley, with a huge team of nearly 2,000 people, they are armed with a variety of melee weapons, and their purpose is to go deep into the enemy formation to kill the snowman.
Looking across the long battle array, there is a ten-meter-high watchtower at the entrance of Kuhan's village, which is specially built for this war, although it is wooden and not stable enough, but it is enough as a place to see the entire battlefield.
On the top of the watchtower, Aidan, Deyun, and Lin stood on the edge and stared at the torches at the end in the distance, as long as one torch disappeared, it was a sign that the snowman was coming.
Deyun stared into the distance and asked, "Commander Aidan, Lin, the two of you are somewhat sure of the odds of winning this battle." β
Lin was silent, but Ai Dan shook his head: "Chief Deyun, it seems that you really want to test us, you can't estimate the odds of victory before you see the opponent's troops, equipment, and leaders." β
Lynn: "Yes, even if the other side has more than 3,000 people like us, but there is a stupid commander, then I think we are at least 70% sure of winning, but if the other side has a shrewd command, even if it is only half of us, I will find it very tricky." β
Aidan's eyes fluttered, and he blinked: "You can see it right away, the big war is imminent, whether you win or lose, you have your own destiny, Goddess Jasmine, please bless us!" β
Call!
At that moment, the line of torches at the end of the distance was neatly extinguished, and footsteps that shook the earth could be heard in the distance.
"Drumming! Prepare for battle! β
"Hah!"
Boom knock knock! Boom Knock Knock Knock......
With a bullhorn in his hand, Adan shouted to the mercenaries under the watchtower, and the war drums behind them rang out as the three thousand mercenaries sang in unison.
Swish! A dark shadow rushed up the watchtower from the shadows, and then Gray escaped from the shadow and stood firmly behind Aidan: "Commander! β
"How's that, what's the strength of the snowman."
"Report to the head of the group, the situation is very bad, the other party not only has a snowman, but also has a lot of goblins, preliminary calculations, there are five hundred snowmen, but there are two thousand goblins."
Hearing this news, the three people who formulated tactics immediately gasped, five hundred snowmen, two thousand goblins, and a total of two thousand and five.
"That'...... What about goblin equipment? β
"Report to the head of the regiment, all the goblins are melee weapons, but there are many goblins armed with spiked plate armor all over their bodies, and there are goblins with giant axes and elite armor, from the perspective of equipment, it should be according to the standards of the regular army of the demon race, and also, this is the demon order I intercepted when I was hiding, I don't understand, and I ask Commander Ai Dan to answer."
"Demon Order?" After Ai Dan and Deyun heard these four words, they immediately felt the trouble of this matter, and originally thought it was just a contradiction between the mercenary group and the snowman, but they didn't expect it to be the arrangement of the demons.
With an ugly face, Edan took the demon order book in Gray's hand, and read it clearly and slowly, word by word.
"Imik, after capturing Kuhan with the leader of the Yeti, he used Kuhan as a base area, and then listened to my orders to flank Rochester back and forth. βBligh"
After hearing the contents of the demon order, Deyun immediately turned around and began to write the report: "Oh my God, my God, this is crazy. β
Lin also covered her mouth in shock: "How did they keep communicating under our noses, who is this Bligh." β
Ai Dan looked at the last two words, and his brows became tighter and tighter: "Bligh, is the deputy commander of the front line of the demon battlefield, if you compare the combat units on the demon side to the Kingdom Knights, Xia Ning Shaka is Cardin, and Bligh is Ludler." β
