Chapter 19: The Harpy

The scattered kobolds returned to camp and reported the situation in the jungle to the kobold commander. Hearing that the number of ambushers was only three, the kobold commander was shocked by the audacity of the enemy.

"Is the human scout who attacked a powerful aristocratic officer?"

"The enemy's arrows are very accurate, and the bows and arrows used are also enchanted bows. With just the use of bows and arrows, the attackers inflicted heavy losses on us. ”

Listening to the story of the rout kobold, the commander fiercely swung his fist and beat the kobold who had escaped.

Based on the information brought by the rout of many kobolds, the commander has roughly figured out the details of the battlefield. It wanted to send men to hunt down the three Richards, but it was a little worried about the enemy's arrows.

Besides, the kobold squadron still has the task of blocking the passage, and he can't make up his mind for a while.

"Humans are very cunning, what if I leave the camp and go into the forest to hunt down the attackers, and the enemy comes to attack the camp?

The sun is almost out, and the inspector will be nearby soon, so leave this problem to the inspector. ”

The kobold commander sent a few routers to the jungle to collect the bones of the kobold who had died in battle, and waited anxiously for the Harpy Inspector to arrive.

About an hour and a half had passed, and a black dot appeared in the sky.

Seeing that the harpy had arrived, the kobold stationed in the camp finally relieved themselves.

"How's the enemy?"

The Harpy had a very short temper and asked unceremonious questions after landing at the camp.

"Human scouts came to attack last night, and before dawn I sent a team of soldiers into the forest to capture the enemy, suffering heavy casualties. The deputy squadron leader was killed, and six soldiers were killed in the battle. According to the news from the rout, the attacking humans had enchanted bows and arrows, and their archery skills were very amazing. ”

The kobold squadron leader was very steady in his use of troops, and although he suffered losses, he explained the situation last night in great detail.

"Why don't you send troops to pursue the enemy, are you afraid of the cold arrows of humans?"

Seeing the harpy shouting and asking, the kobold commander explained: "Of course I'm not afraid of humans, the main task of our squadron is to block the passage.

Humans are very cunning, they sent scouts to attack the sentry last night, we captured the scouts late at night, but we were ambushed by humans and suffered losses. The enemy situation is unknown, what if I lead the team into the jungle and the humans attack the camp?

If you can't hold the camp, Commander Gunderson will kill us all.

Now that humanity has detected information about the camp, and our situation is very dangerous, I have written to Commander Gunderson in the hope that reinforcements can be sent as soon as possible. ”

"The humans of the Platos Line are very tenacious, although we have conquered four castles and broken through half of the defense, it is difficult to annihilate the enemy in a short time.

Moreover, the cavalry under the command of Baron Harden is still cruising around the periphery, pinning down our wolf cavalry. Commander Gunderson sent Wald's brigade to attack the human Barony of Stopa three days ago, and now there are no reinforcements at all.

I'll go in the direction of Baron Harden's castle, and if I encounter a human archer, I'll eat them brutally. ”

"Lord Inspector, be careful, the unit stationed at Baron Harden's castle has a squadron of the Legion of Wild Lions.

This squadron was very combat-ready and was once the defender of the castle of Platos III, participating in the defeat of the Lachimea brigade and shooting two Harpies.

They have powerful enchanted bows and arrows in their hands, and when the inspectors are scouting, adults must not get too close. ”

The Harpy put away the kobold commander's letter for help, raised his eyes and glanced at it, flapping his wings and quickly disappearing into the sky.

Exiting the canyon, the road is lined with dense forests on both sides. Even if the eyesight of the harpy is several times greater than that of a human and is too far away, it is difficult to see the situation under the canopy.

The three of Richard were all natives of the North, and Ron had also experienced an orc invasion war, so he would naturally be wary of the Harpies when he returned.

The Harpy is famous in Northern Xinjiang, and every time the orcs invade, there will be a Harpy.

This monster is the nemesis of the Scouts of the Northern Frontier. In a flat plain, a regular scout will barely survive a harpy. Even in the mountains and forests, many scouts die in the mouth of the eagle every year.

If it weren't for William's enchanted bow, Richard's archery skills would also be very good, and he had been promoted to the fourth order, and there was a way to restrain the harpy, and the three brothers would not dare to take on the reconnaissance mission.

The Harpy was very fast, and since they didn't find Richard along the way, they went straight to Harden Castle.

Seeing the Harpy appear, Squadron Leader Diarra reacted quickly and immediately set up the enchanted bow on the city and loaded it with a fourth-order burst arrow. If the Harpy dares to dive closer, grab the plane and shoot the Harpy.

The Harpy restrained the Human Scouts, as did the Enchanted Bow and Burst Arrow.

In every battle in the North, many Harpies have died from the cracked arrows.

Seeing that there were three enchanted bows and arrows at the head of the city, the harppogriff did not dare to approach, and flew back to the Pratos Mountains far away, reporting the situation of Harden's castle to the orc commander Gunderson.

After receiving information about the vicinity of Harden's castle, Gunderson summoned the orc officers and held a pre-war meeting.

"Gathering information from all sides, Wald's brigade captured Vic Castle yesterday and killed the castle commander, Baron Stopa.

The human scouts attacked the Aoteus squadron that was blocking the canyon and ambushed and shot a deputy squadron leader.

Baron Harden's Castle is garrisoned by the main human force, which is about a squadron in number. The city was relatively well fortified, and there should have been more than ten human occupations in the defenders.

The defenders of Platos Castle suffered more than fifty percent of the casualties, and through the interrogation of the prisoners, we already know that the day before yesterday they killed Sally Darren, the deputy captain of the 8th Brigade, and another deputy captain, Roland Claude, was seriously injured and disabled, and basically lost his combat effectiveness. The Platos castle complex was already struggling to support the defensive line.

Two days ago, Baron Harden's cavalry attacked our logistics convoy and killed the soldiers of the Angolo Brigade who were responsible for transporting grain and grass, and the captain of the Angolo Brigade was killed in battle.

The Wolf Cavalry Brigade was attacked by Baron Harden last night, killing and wounding more than 130 cavalrymen. ”

The orc officer in charge of intelligence kept telling the story, so that the orc officers present had a global idea.

After the intelligence officer had recounted all the information he had received, Gunderson raised his left hand, stopped the whispers of many orcs, and said, "What about the casualties of Wald's brigade, and can you continue to fight?" ”

"The human resistance was fierce, and the defenders of Vic Castle fought to the end, and Wald's brigade had already suffered more than half of the casualties.

If you need to take control of Vic Castle, you can only draw out one squadron of soldiers. Abandoning Vik Castle would require half a squadron of soldiers to protect the wounded, and the Wald tribe would have four squadrons to fight. ”
