II. The Heavenly Punishment of the Scarlet Leaf Forest Chapter 61 The Battle of Extermination
After three days of prayer and blessing, and another six days of marching, Elder Una finally led the Korsun tribe's Beast Repellent Legion to their supply depot: Deadwood Outpost.
The first news that greeted him was another bad thing that made his head smoke: someone had built a checkpoint in the valley of Rhino Peak, completely blocking all roads that wanted to enter the town from near the swamp.
Una took a dozen people to check in front of the battle, and in the distance, he saw a tall city wall between the steep mountain walls, and there were defensive battlements at the head of the wall, and it was impossible to see how many people were standing on the wall. Only faintly visible were crossbows aimed in the shooting holes of the battlements.
"Bastard, how long have they been repairing? Why not report it! Unayang slapped the guard to the ground.
The man hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly, "Elder spare your life, there was nothing over there five or six days ago." ”
Una believed this, picked up a copper bell in his hand and shook it, and several demon wolves immediately pounced in front of him. Before the man could tell, he was torn into pieces and became a delicacy of the demon wolf.
"Did you see them all?" Elder Una yelled at the people below, "Whoever dares to deceive me will end up like this. ”
As he spoke, a bloody mouth was already sticking out of his back. It was a raging beast with only one eye, but three pairs of sharp horns wrapped around its head, and its massive body resembled that of a full-grown bull.
Elder Una smiled and touched its horns, "Snorr, are you hungry again?" “
Saliva was already dripping from the mouth of the monster.
This beast is not a beast of war, it is the pet of Elder Una.
Una scratched its chin dotingly, and swept to the dozen or so attendants, "Next, the next one who dares to deceive me, I will reward you......"
In fact, although the man deceived Una, he did not completely deceive.
Rowling and the craftsmen hoisted the prefabricated wall materials, and indeed built the exterior wall of the level in just three days. But where can the prefabricated cement slabs withstand the beating of war? So it took them another three days to fill the walls with stone and earth, and to build a hill-like slope behind the walls.
In addition, in order to observe the enemy's situation, the craftsmen built two enemy towers at the junction of the city wall and the mountain. The Damm siblings specially arranged for a few soldiers with good eyesight to work day and night with binoculars to observe the enemy's movements.
Inside the two enemy towers, Rowling also specially made two special weapons. At first glance, it looks like a machine tool, but there are two heads and one reverse three large bows on it, the bow arm is made of tortoiseshell cartilage, and the bowstring is the tortoiseshell beast's rubber bands connected together with pulleys.
"This is the 'Three-Bow Bed Crossbow' that Lydia asked me to make, and I guess it should be able to shoot two blocks away." Rowling introduces the Dam siblings to her new weapon, "Ordinary people can't pull it, so I installed ratchet gears in the back, and two people need to pull the wrench together to open the bow." ”
The Damm siblings had never heard of such a weapon, so they decided to give it a try themselves. The two worked together to pull the lever, and the ratchet rattled several times before the bowstring hung on the trigger.
The craftsman next to him brought a special crossbow arrow, which was more like a short spear than a crossbow arrow, except that the tail of the spear was equipped with four tail fins with metal plates.
Rowling instructed them to load the crossbow arrows, and pointed to a long tube next to the trigger: "This thing has a long range, and I am afraid that the target will not be visible to the naked eye." I've got a scope here, and you can shoot at a distant target just by calculating the distance. ”
The Dam siblings looked out of the tube and were amazed to see that everything in the distance had become so close, even Elder Una, who was two miles away, had a head the size of a watermelon.
Wait, Elder Una?
The two siblings raised their heads in shock and looked at each other, and quickly lowered their heads and aimed again.
They didn't know Una, but they knew that sitting in that kind of bird's nest-like "throne" must be an elder-level figure. This guy also has an extremely ugly monster, and he is pointing fingers at several of his subordinates.
Brother Damme carefully confirmed: "Aim, you can shoot?" ”
Rowling replied casually, "The distance is definitely a bit wrong, but it shouldn't be too big." ”
The two siblings nodded in agreement.
The moment they nodded, Rowling had a premonition that something was wrong. Before she could speak, the Dahm siblings struck the trigger at the same time.
Elder Una was scratching the chin of the demonic beast and continued to reprimand his subordinates: "You bunch of waste, you are not as good as my snoring. Know what's the most important thing? ”
The beast's throat gurgled as a sign of contentment.
"It's loyalty! Absolute loyalty! Loyalty like purring! Elder Una spoke earnestly, pausing just the right amount to give his subordinates time to reflect and pat their ass.
Sou.
Fishy demon blood squirted Una in the face!
Gollum's neck is pierced by a short spear, stabbing two huge blood holes.
The mouths full of beautiful words of those subordinates had already poured into their mouths, and they were swallowed hard. The brain was overloaded in an instant, and the flattering smile quickly turned into shock and grief. The muscles on the face have changed dramatically, creating a group of facial paralysis.
Una's three souls, whose face was covered with demon blood, were out of his body and he didn't react for a long time.
He stood there for two minutes before Huo Ran woke up and howled, "Snorr! Only then did he hold the corpse of the monster and cry.
The subordinates joined the ranks of crying and mourning, crying in the dark.
"March! Marching tomorrow! The grief-stricken Una thumped her chest and shouted, "Hang the white flag!" I'm going to make them pay with blood! ”
Flying a white flag in this world does not mean surrender. The White Flag means "War of Extermination" and is a foreshadowing of the massacre of the city after the victory.
The next day, as the bark drum of the Kolsun tribe rolled, the legion of the Beast Exorcism Sect picked out a white flag that was half splattered with blood, and slowly set up a formation in the distance of Rhino Peak.
Elder Una had a blood-stained white cloth tied to his head, sitting upright in the throne of the "Bird's Nest", naked, with two large knives behind his back, holding the order flag in one hand and the copper bell in the other.
The beast repellents under his command all wore ugly bark masks, covered with dark tattoos, with sharp knives tied to each leg and arm, and held various magical beasts large and small in their hands. They sharpen their fangs and claws, and they seem to be about to tear their enemies to pieces in the next second.
After the bark drum sounded, the Korsun tribe blew the bone battle trumpet. A herald walked out of the formation carrying the bloodstained white flag. Walked straight to about 500 meters away from the Rhino Peak outpost and stopped.
This herald was obviously much smarter than the man Elder Ramon had carried, and the range of bows and crossbows in this world was probably within five hundred paces.
He loudly announced that the next battle would be a "war of extermination", but there was no reaction from the walls on the opposite side.
It's not that the Dahm siblings are arrogant, it's not that they have any clever plan.
They just didn't get it.
The Dam siblings are just two farmers promoted by Lydia, and Rowling is a dead house craftsman, so how do these three know about the "war of extinction".
"Throw away the white cloth and show the flag." Someone shouted and hurried up the wall.
The Damm siblings turned their heads to see that it was Achai.
