Chapter 261: Death Marches
As the battle between humans and the natives of the Pale Mountains was in full swing, Luthor rushed to the side of a centaur and slashed his sword into the hind legs, forcing it to take a few steps back and save a heavy infantry that was on the verge of collapse.
But at this moment, two more centaurs rushed from the left and right flanks, and it was obvious that they wanted to entangle the strongest of the human race, so that their companions could have a chance to break through the protection of the heavy infantry with all their might.
Fortunately, there are only about twenty of these creatures, and if they are doubled, it is estimated that the human side will not last long.
At this time, Luthor heard Jeff's response, and then he couldn't help but look at the wide carriage in the distance that rolled up a cloud of smoke and dust like a giant snake that stretched out.
Luthor had confirmed that it was Leon and his party, for the carriage was the same one that had taken them out of the country to the Pale Mountains, and it was supposed that the young lord had visited Fort Marker when he returned, and had learned about the shape of the place.
Leon ...... I hope you'll be wise," the lieutenant commander was now covered in the blood of the enemy, standing between the two centaurs, and he really wanted the carriage to turn around immediately, but he knew that it was impossible.
Since a lord appears on the battlefield of the territory, it will cause a huge loss to his reputation if he leaves without a fight, and if it is the kind of inaction lord who is greedy for life and afraid of death, it is absolutely impossible for a young but ambitious person like Li Ang to happen.
"Forget it......," thought Luther, "come on, come on, it's a big deal that I give up my life and escort him out, and I will repay the old Earl's affection." ”
The soldiers didn't have much else to do, for they had their own judgment of the situation like the lieutenant commander, and they knew the new lord's previous reputation, and although they had some respect for his behavior in rushing over without a single qiē, they always felt in their hearts that even this would be useless.
The mercenaries are different, they have heard a lot of rumors about this lord recently, "defending Locke Town" is his most famous experience, followed by the recent killing of those outsiders who started a riot in Brown Bear Town, and then immediately wiped out a large number of big goblins, for a time the prestige of this lord rose sharply in the hearts of the lords, although it was not as deep-rooted as the old lord's deep-rooted impression, but it was not far behind.
"Your lord, you're finally here!" exclaimed a burly man with a loyal and honest countenance.
"Idiot!" Luthor scolded angrily in his heart, there must be someone among these natives who can understand the lingua franca, if they hear it, they will be in trouble to divide up their strong troops to deal with Leon!
"Hey, isn't this Kubi, the boss of the mercenary group that came with him from Greenwood?" Jeff patted Eric on the shoulder, "Do you remember him? ”
"Of course I do...... A loyal but cunning man," Eric looked at Kuby with a blank expression, "and it seems that he got the game right this time." ”
"yes...... He's got some courage," Jeff responded.
Of course, Kubi's shouts could not be heard on the side of the wagon, but the natives did like the deputy commander feared, and a large number of kobolds and trolls began to turn around and rush towards the carriage that was getting closer.
The largest number of kobolds on the battlefield reached more than two hundred, and there were forty or fifty trolls, once they left the battlefield, the pressure on the defending mercenaries was suddenly reduced by half, but Luthor and his soldiers were not at all easy, although the number of enemies they faced was small, but the individual strength was strong, and the pressure increased exponentially.
So even if Luthor noticed the enemy's movements, he could only watch, and once he left, the defense line on this side would immediately collapse.
"I hope their trust in you isn't unfounded...... the deputy commander thought with a heavy heart.
However, in the following period, he saw the "reason" why the acting lord and the head of the trade zone trusted Leon so much.
The carriage approached the swarming enemy, and the eyes of the two horses were already covered with a strip of cloth, so they fearlessly pulled the wagon and fought their way forward, breaking headlong into the dense network of enemies.
The kobold archers gathered behind and pulled their crude short bows, and a rain of arrows shot the two horses denser than the spikes on their maces, but at the same moment there was a sudden light in the carriage, and then two fireballs fell between the archers who had no protective equipment.
The dull and powerful explosion seemed to sound at the same time, and the emaciated kobold archers scattered in all directions, and most of the dozens of unlucky people at the center of the explosion were blown off the ground, flying into the air with flames and terrible screams, but their cries soon ceased, and then fell to the ground like a burning coal.
With the flickering reddish light in the carriage, one fireball after another flew from the window on one side towards the dense group of enemies, like heavy stones falling into the water, causing countless splashes, but these sparks were made of fire and blood.
On the other side of the carriage, a series of shiny glass bottles flew out, and when the kobold on this side saw the miserable fate of the same kind on the opposite side, the seemingly ordinary bottles fell around them, and then caused an explosion that was even stronger than the fireball technique, and a large area of flames splattered out with the sound of the explosion, turning these creatures that were still somewhat confused into charcoal in an instant.
The carriage rampaged through the natives of the Pale Mountains, and there was not even the slightest slowdown.
The trolls arrived, and they stopped in the distance, drawing their spears and throwing them at the carriage. They believed that their strength could pierce the spear into the carriage, and the mage inside would certainly not be able to withstand such damage.
As soon as their spears were gone, the double doors of the carriage were pushed open, and a burly human man burst out of it, drew his great broad-bladed knife from the roof of the car, and ran towards the spear with laughter. With just a flick of his hand, the spears deflected off track and flew around, stabbing to death several kobolds who couldn't dodge.
Before the human man could launch his next attack, an even taller man suddenly appeared next to the carriage, with pigtails on his head and a spear in his hand, and let out a roar that resounded through the battlefield.
"Come on, have a good fight with me!"
But then the barbarian Sapa noticed a problem with Yanzhòng, there were so many enemies in front of him, but for a while he couldn't find an opponent who made him worth fighting, so he was even happier, and the ensuing laughter actually drowned out Red's voice.
"You're so arrogant! Sapa we've killed more enemies than anyone else!"
"You're too confident!"
Red had seen Sapa's battle when he was underground, and he was extremely appreciative of the barbarian's fighting style, and later he learned the origin of the barbarian from Leon's mouth, and he was surprised and very appreciative, so when he saw the barbarian again, he couldn't help but see Hunter's heart and wanted to compete with the other party.
When two burly men appeared in the enemy group, their strength caused a lot of damage to the kobolds, and even the trolls were defeated by their attacks, and once a troll was hit by the vital point, a green ray of light would shoot out of the carriage and fall on their bodies, using strong acid to completely destroy these dying trolls.
The two men cleared their path with great speed, but the carriage did not slow down and headed towards the rear of the goblin cavalry, and as the creatures turned in formation in panic, Caterina appeared in front of them, and with a single assault they slammed the enemies around the target into the air, and then were pierced by her brand-new weapon.
At the same time, a shadow was hidden behind Katarina, and then turned into a light wind that fluttered in front of and behind the goblin cavalry, and as soon as the two daggers appeared from the shadows, an enemy would immediately scream and pounce on the ground.
At this time, there were more bursts of cold light in addition to the fireballs flying out of the carriage window, and the elves tilted outward with a continuous and steady speed as the carriage moved, accurately hitting the enemy's body, and then continued to penetrate from the other side without losing their strength, this kind of attack that became sharp showed that the strength of the elven ranger has also been significantly improved.
"Squeak!"
With a tooth-chilling sound of axle grinding, the carriage came to a steady stop in front of the defending human. It took less than a few minutes for it to go from being alone in the field of view of the struggling humans to coming to a stop in front of them, and the carriage was moving like a terrifying warplane, forging a bloody path of death among hundreds of murderous natives.
