Chapter 22
The mercenaries formed a battle formation, colliding with the big goblins who had come from the storm, which had become a jagged front. The goblins are quite good infantry in this world, with a lot of strength, and they are naturally accustomed to military law and battle formations. Although a kind of goblin brain is a little stupid, there is no grand strategy at all, and there is no way to talk about how many battle formations can be changed and commanded on the battlefield, but as a low-level infantry, isn't it necessary to be a little stupid? Therefore, under the same number, the troops composed of the big goblins are more capable of bearing casualties than the troops composed of ordinary human soldiers, are more capable of carrying out the orders of their superiors, and have stronger combat effectiveness.
It's just that this time there are ways to deal with the big goblins in the human race - magic equipment and long-range strike magic, so the big goblins were unable to keep the battle line flat after being bombarded by a round of bombardment in the impact, so they crashed into the spear and shield mercenaries who were waiting in front of them. At that time, several blood gourds were strung together, and the impact force caused the ten mercenaries in the first row to drop the spears in their hands and draw the spare short swords behind the shields.
In this round of impact, at least more than ten goblins lost their lives, and in the previous long-range attacks, there were almost five or six goblins who lost their combat effectiveness and fell to the ground, whose lives and deaths are unknown. But they've also managed to get close to the human battle formation, and now it's time to grit their teeth and slash at each other.
But human casualties first appeared on the front line of the free mercenaries....... unlike the mercenary group, the weapons in their hands were almost all of the same standard, and at most many of them carried some favorite weapons, but they did not use them after the battle began. And the free mercenaries have all kinds of guys in their hands, some with spears, some with swords and shields, some with two-handed swords, and some with double knives. As a result, the guys of the mercenary group listed a line of spears, while the free mercenaries did not list a single front. So when the goblins approached in an uneven battle line, the battle here was far more chaotic than the frontal battle.
The mercenary group is now also caught in a melee on the battle line, but their cooperation is very good, led by a bronze-level squad leader, and they help each other not to kill the enemy and defend first. And the free mercenaries are messy here, although they are equal in number to each other, but they just interfere with each other and fall behind.
Zhou Zhongmou kicked Katz in the back as soon as possible, and met a big goblin with his left shield and right hand sword. Just when he and the big goblin were slashing at each other, the guy next to him interfered with Zhou Zhongmou sternly - this guy raised his arms flat, and after the two knives were unfolded, they spun like a spinning top, and to be honest, Zhou Zhongmou didn't know how this thing was mixed into a black iron center with this inferior combat technique, and it obviously looked like a waste that could be hung with a spear. The twin knives that were now spinning didn't hit any of the goblins, but instead left their companions scrambling.
"Damn it, doesn't he know that he can't see anything clearly when spinning at high speed? Could it be that he is really the reincarnation of the Warcraft Sword Saint? This kind of rotten trick is also used? and the fucking blade storm!" Zhou Zhongmou immediately scolded, and then quickly jumped back to avoid the madman's knife wheel.
The next moment, a big goblin threw out a three-headed iron chain, and there were three small iron balls on the head of the chain, and the iron chain thrown against the ground quickly rolled into the storm of blades, and then soon the storm disappeared, and a guy was thrown out of the street, and the double knives were thrown out far away. didn't wait for the others to go up to save people, only to see a big goblin rush a few steps, and immediately settle the account after stabbing down.........
"Bastard! this dead servant street!" these words were shouted in Chinese, and no one in this place could understand them, Zhou Zhongmou suddenly jumped up after yelling, rubbed his body behind the round shield in his left hand, and threw himself on it. The shield strike and slash took away a big goblin's life in one breath. But the goblins had already surrounded him, and what Zhou Zhongmou had to think about now was not to kill these goblins, but to try to hold on until the others came over in time. And he did—with superhuman dynamic vision and physical coordination, the guy was able to withstand the assault for more than a dozen seconds at the cost of almost scrapping a shield. Zhou Zhongmou, who retreated, finally had a chance to take a look at the mercenary group, and they seemed to have losses, but there were more goblins on the ground, and more than a dozen people had already laid down three or four of them here at this time, and the only goblins that were cut down were the one that Zhou Zhongmou had just done.
However, there are also advantages to fewer people, these average combat power are in the middle of the black iron, and everyone has a few unique free mercenaries who finally have space to play, but they also resist those big goblins. But Zhou Zhongmou had to distract some of his attention from Katz, who was now a liability. He kicked Katz away, and the next moment a knife slashed at where Katz had been. Now Zhou Zhongmou only has a long sword in his hand, and he relies on his excellent swordsmanship to withstand the attacks of the two goblins cooperating with each other, and his quick skills and sharp slashes make the two goblins busy defending.
At that moment, Katz behind him made a sound like a chicken's crow, and he made a short clucking sound like a hen that had been caught and was about to be killed. Then the sound of heavy footsteps drowned out his screams - it was the ogre finally arriving on the battlefield.
There was only one ogre that appeared on the side of the free mercenaries, but this ogre had two heads, a wider and taller body than ordinary ogres, and a thick mace, which immediately made those free mercenaries lose their courage. "Mutated two-headed ogre...... At least it's also bronze median. Zhou Zhongmou can still think of this problem at this time. But the ogre's attack had already begun - a two-meter-long, human-thick mace swept through, and this time nothing hit. But the next straight hammer - Katz could no longer dodge, and Zhou Zhongmou had no time to save people, and he did not have the strength and speed to save people in such a situation - so Katz only had time to let out a short scream before being smashed into a mass of flesh and bones in a pit. "I said a long time ago not to put up the flag! This is miserable!" Zhou Zhongmou found that the goblins in front of the mercenary group had been defeated, but the addition of the two ogres made the casualties of the mercenary group suddenly larger-only five people were lost in the battle with the goblins, but the ogres had already caused six casualties as soon as they came. The mercenary group, whose losses had reached one-third, were unable to rescue the free mercenaries, and their mage apprentices had to use precious magic on the ogres, and the two-headed ogres above the bronze median were very resistant to low-level spells, so the apprentices did not put any energy into the free mercenaries after seeing the situation - that is, one of them put a greasy spell between the free mercenaries and the mercenary group, so that the heavy ogres could not attack the mercenary group from the side.
The free mercenaries suffered heavy casualties - Zhou Zhongmou was the only one who was still standing on the ground and jumping like a monkey to avoid the heavy mace, and because of the mace, even the goblins did not dare to enter the ogre's attack range, which also made Zhou Zhongmou's pressure less - but if this continued, death was almost inevitable.
At this time, his mind was actually distracted, and for some reason he remembered what he had seen in a local mythological book that he didn't know: "Wings of Chaos that destroyed the miè world....... and at this time, Zhou Zhongmou could no longer dodge the huge mace that fell head-on-the power of the two-headed ogre was so great that he didn't even pause when he changed the direction of the mace's attack, and even the wind of the mace dancing could make people stand unsteadily.
