Chapter Sixty-Eight: Array, Enemy Appearance

When Bladefang led 250 soldiers to the preset battlefield to prepare to line up first. In the distant forest, you can already see the figure of a hostile troll sporadically.

But I don't know whether to be happy or regretful, these trolls who seem to be just small protrusions don't rush without brains after seeing the formation of soldiers with tight teeth.

They shrank back again, as if preparing to wait for the arrival of the larger forces before attacking.

In the face of this situation, although it is a little regrettable that Blade Fang cannot destroy a part of the living force first; But he didn't give the order to break into the forest, but just commanded the soldiers to continue to line up in the same place.

In addition to these most elite warriors, the Horde was supposed to have a living force of up to 167 hunter squads with a total of 1,670 trolls;

However, due to previous mistakes at the decision-making level, 15 of these squads are now in Nomen and 30 in Finay;

Another 15 had departed three days earlier and were on their way to Normen; 30 had departed a day earlier and were on their way to Finnay at the moment.

In other words, at this time, there were only 77 hunter squads left in the headquarters;

Of those, 13 squads had been crippled in their previous encounters, and the number of trolls who had escaped was less than a third of the full number;

There are also 17 squads, scattered in the northern hunting grounds, and there is no way to get in touch;

Another 13 squads, scattered in the southern hunting grounds, were also unable to get in touch;

Therefore, the forces that the tribe can immediately use to meet the enemy at this time are in addition to 250 soldiers;

There were only 34 squads with no hunting missions, plus more than 40 remnants who had fled from the east.

In addition, if Ye Ya's actions go well, then his side should still be able to intercept the 30 teams that were originally scheduled to go to Finay;

Moreover, in the process of going around again, their party will inevitably pass through the northern hunting area of the headquarters, and maybe they can incorporate a few squads that they met there?

But in any case, Leaftooth, a living force composed of about 300 trolls, would not have time to appear on the frontal battlefield, which is one of the reasons why Bladefang told them to simply go around.

After estimating the strength at hand in this way, he suddenly became more confident.

Although on the frontal battlefield, they are about to face a battle with a ratio of 600 to 1500+ on both sides, but a large number does not necessarily mean that they will be stronger....

~~~~~~~~~

A total of 10 squadrons of soldiers, except for a squadron of deer cavalry that was barely pulled up, did not appear for the time being, and two squadrons of reserve forces were left by his side;

The remaining seven squadrons were deployed by him in front of 5 and 2 in a preset battlefield less than sixty meters horizontally;

The five squadrons at the front, each team is 3 meters apart and the individual soldiers are 1 meter apart, and they are deployed horizontally in a formation of 3 times 8, and the squadron leader is responsible for commanding in the back row;

The two squadrons in the rear are arranged vertically on both sides in a 4-by-6 formation, acting as a force to protect the flanks.

In the pockets formed by these six squadrons are two reserve squadrons;

At this time, they are roughly on standby as independent units, ready to support the forward, left, and right sides at any time.

Compared to trolls with a shoulder width of nearly 0.7 meters, this is already a very compact queue, after all, they also have to take into account factors such as the spread of their shields, the attack of their heavy swords, and so on.

When the ranks of the soldiers were arranged, the 38 hunter teams (the remnants of the east were reorganized into four squads) and the rest of the trolls had arrived;

Among these trolls, there are several relatively familiar faces;

Needless to say, the civilized trolls who often make appearances in the central chamber have been part time trainees in the House of Representatives, so it makes sense for them to return to the Hunter team.

And those witch medicine disciples over the age of 20 also formed an independent team composed of imitation hunter squads.

Growing up and never killing a life, they were holding the throwing spear and heavy sword they had just received, and they were caught between the regular hunter teams with a somewhat nervous expression, and they didn't know what to do.

But unexpectedly, they didn't show much fear on their faces, as if the part of the wilderness in their bones was gradually awakened in this situation.

At this time, some witch doctors led by the Great Witch Doctor also arrived from the tribe, and several witch doctors over the age of 16 who had been assigned to act as 'medical guards' were also following this team.

The witch doctors' faces were blue and blue, and it seemed that the work of using the power of magic to build an underground bunker in a short period of time was not so easy.

"How's it going, is the bunker built? Did they hide in? โ€

After the two sides approached, Blade Fang asked the question he was most concerned about at this time.

"It's built, and everyone who should hide has gone in. Thanks to the help of these little guys, otherwise just a few of us would really not have the energy to deal with the girls who had to come out to fight. โ€

The Great Witch Doctor said to the apprentices who were grabbing a short spear in one hand and a 'scalpel' in the other, staring blankly at the team in front of him.

"Whew.... The rear is arranged, and you can concentrate on dealing with the hostile tribes that have appeared out of nowhere. โ€

Blade Fang exhaled softly when he heard this, it didn't matter what the tribe was destroyed; But those little trolls, pregnant mother trolls, can't afford to lose.

"What about us? What else is there to do? Do you need help over there? The rough-toothed witch doctor looked into the distance.

In the direction he looked, the four witch doctors, including Fangs and Miya, were hiding behind the array of warriors and casting spells on the ground;

Faintly, vines could be seen breaking through the ground in front of them, and after growing a little taller, they immediately turned around and burrowed into the ground;

After that, inconspicuous dirt bags rose from the ground, stretching forward.

"No need, let's eat something to replenish your strength and refresh your spirits, and then when you still have a lot of magic to use on the battlefield."

"Understood."

The four witch doctors nodded, found a place that would not get in the way, and crossed their legs, took out the 'war-ready meatloaf' from their blankets and nibbled on them.

For witch doctors with roughly equal physical strength, this is the best way to replenish it.

While the witch doctors were eating, Bladefang called the two waves of witch medicine disciples to his side, and after a long time, they arranged work for each of them.

Those over the age of 16 should be dispersed to treat the wounded and try to protect themselves; Those over the age of 20 are divided into groups dedicated to keeping witch doctors safe.

After sending this batch away, he went to arrange the battlefield mission of the 38 hunter teams.

Although they have simulated fighting with the soldiers during the 'militia' training, they know a little bit about what they should do.

But after all, 'drills' are different from actual combat, and Blade Fang, who is also a novice, doesn't dare to neglect the arrangements for them.

By the time everything was over on his side, Meiya's arrangement was almost complete.

Because the control ability and the total amount of mana are limited, and there is still enough time to recover some mana;

Therefore, the witch doctors did not go crazy to stack the thorn vines, but just controlled them to the right degree.

After Meiya finished the work at hand, she didn't go to rest immediately; She made her way to her husband through the gap between the chasseur squads that had been filled in her 'pockets'.

After tiptoeing slightly to send a kiss, he whispered in his ear,

"Be careful and protect yourself."

"You too.... Go and rest. โ€

She nodded, and finally glanced at Blade Fang worriedly, and then slipped back into the area between the warriors and the hunters, and came to the vine that she controlled, carefully blocking the spring light and sat down.

Because some of the little ones seem to mind this, Miya has only recently developed a habit that seems rather indifferent to the troll tribe.

This is gossip, so let's not mention it for now.

The efficiency of the hostile trolls is obviously not too high, and how much preparation has been made by Bladefang, they haven't really appeared yet......

~~~~~~

Time passed, and the witch doctors had almost regained a wave of strength.

Except for the soldiers who are often arranged to stand in a 'military position' on weekdays, almost all the trolls have lost a little bit of tension.

If it weren't clear about the level of development of the rest of the troll tribes (within the known range), Bladefang was a little skeptical that this was some kind of ploy.....

Fortunately, it didn't make them wait too much, and after about two lights passed, a sound similar to the horn of the previous life suddenly sounded in the forest in the distance.

Bladetooth stood on a 'command platform' formed by the temporary accumulation of earthwork by spells, and took advantage of the height difference to look far away.

In the distance, three sturdy figures emerged from the dense forest, which were only about four or five centimeters shorter than the blade fangs on average, but about three meters shorter.

As soon as I saw the position between them, combined with the savage and aggressive customs of trolls.....

Even if Blade Fang understands that he is facing a force that is composed of at least three forces.

"Good Fellows....."

As he sighed, trolls emerged from behind the three leaders, following in the former's footsteps and moving forward in a scattered formation.

Their ranks are noisy and unmilitary, and at first glance they are an army of hunters who only 'fight' with their prey all year round.

The two teams slowly approached as one stopped and the other advanced, and when there were still more than two hundred meters left between the front rows of the two, Bladefang finally saw the approximate size of the enemyโ€”more than 1,500, but definitely not more than two thousand.

This relieved him, no more than four times as much, still dry!

The opposing party's large force was two hundred meters away..... Not very rigorous stops.

Since the Fang Department had taken advantage of the convenience of tools over the years, it had emptied the forest in a large area around the tribe, and even though its own queue had advanced about a hundred steps out of the tribe at this time, it was still quite far west of the middle line.

Therefore, this battlefield is enough for the development of the three parts, and there is no situation where half of them go out and half remain in the forest.

After the three leaders stopped advancing their own brigade, they approached about 100 meters with a big heart, and then they stood still and began to shout.

"Teeth!! Chieftain!! Come!! โ€

Although their trip was somewhat suspicious of a sneak attack, it seemed that they still planned to abide by some rules when faced with a real battle......

The three leaders' too dissolute positions at this time made Blade Fang very excited...... The Tribe's heavy spear was enough to be thrown a hundred meters away.

These guys, who still wield primitive bone spears and wooden spears, and use the traditional 'direct fire method' that is more suited to dense forest environments, don't know this.

If you order the soldiers to cover the attack at this time, will you be able to keep them?

This tempting idea was dismissed only after a flash in his mind.

Although the range of the projectile is long, but the speed is not dominant, it is more suitable for group targets, and the three leaders will have enough time to dodge... This is one of them.

Second, it is a rare opportunity for the tribe to defeat an enemy four times their size from the front and in a dignified manner, and it would be a pity to let it go.

When weighing these pros and cons, the blade fang, who is the 'dictator' and the most suitable for the status of the 'chief' at this time, does not wait in place.

He jumped off the podium, stepped onto his mount, and assumed the swagger of a warrior, and separated the ranks in front of him towards the three leaders.

When passing by several witch doctors, I don't know what kind of mentality they each had, and they actually discussed and put layers of blessing spells on him......
