Section 4: Changes and Coincidents (II)
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
If Bernhard hadn't lied, it would have been a disaster for the slave catchers, whether it was an Ante Ant-Man kingdom or one of the tribes that was attacking the town right now.
Because there are a total of 200 people left in the slave trapping team, not to mention the Ant-Man Kingdom, there is only an Ant-Man tribe, and the slave catcher team is definitely not an opponent.
One-on-one, the combat power of a regular light infantry is not comparable to that of ant artificial soldiers, and only in large-scale warfare will it have an advantage.
An Ant-Man tribe usually has 500 to 3,000 people, and the total population of the Ant-Man kingdom is between 30,000 and 50,000, but the Ante people are terrible because all the people are soldiers.
"You don't believe it, you can open the window and listen to the sound outside. Bernhard sneered.
Old John rushed to the window and opened it, and the screams from outside were heard unhindered.
The town was already in utter chaos, and its inhabitants were screaming and wailing, being knocked down by strange black shadows and dragged outside.
The other members of the slave catcher team fought the Black Shadow with weapons in hand, but from time to time someone fell and was dragged out of the town by the Black Shadow.
Everyone in the room gasped, and old John suddenly understood, and said viciously: "Old ghost, the Antes have surrounded the town?
"We've got to go out and help them!" said the other slave catchers.
"How can this help?" said old John, who was very loyal to Cocorland, but all he could think about now was how to save his life.
Wang Qinian suddenly rushed to an elf without a sound and cut the restraints on her body with a knife.
"What are you doing?" cried Old John.
"I'm saving my own lives, and I want to save your lives, if you have any more hope of survival, come with me to release them. Wang Qinian said coldly, but his hand was not slow, and he loosened the shackles of an elf.
Bernhard nodded, and old John understood.
Elven slaves are very valuable, but lives are even more valuable.
More than 100 slaves, if all of them are released, is a large combat force, although it is impossible to turn defeat into victory, but the strength of the number of people is greater, and the chance of escaping for their lives is also greater.
The slave catchers who came to their senses began to help the elf slaves loosen their restraints, but Wang Qinian stopped and said: "Let go of you now, you must have heard of the Ante tribe, they are attacking this town, if you want to live, you can only temporarily put aside your hatred and cooperate with us, unless you must become their food." ”
The first few elves to loosen their restraints did not move, but it was not that they did not want to do so, but that there was a potion in the water they were fed, so that they could only barely walk and could not fight.
These elves didn't do it immediately, but they made a good start, and the elves who were later unbound thought that their companions didn't want to do it, so they hesitated and didn't do it, otherwise with the character of the wood elves, it is difficult to say what the consequences will be.
Wang Qinian breathed a sigh of relief again, he was also gambling, and he had to take a risk, because if it was really Ante Ant-Man, he would not be able to escape by himself, plus the dozen or so people of Old John.
The fifty elves in this room were quickly liberated by the hands of ten slave hunters.
"Let the rest of our people go. A Wood Elf said that she was a woman, and that she was as beautiful as the other Wood Elves, but she was not a little dazed like the other Wood Elves.
She continued, "Let them go, and I'll convince everyone to work with you. ”
Wang Qinian nodded, walked to the inner door that connected this room to the other room, and kicked it hard, he didn't have the key.
The slave catchers also rushed over and kicked each other, and soon broke the wooden door, and the elves who had been released hurriedly went to rescue their partners.
Wang Qinian looked at Bernhard, "You must have already thought of a way out." ”
Bernhard nodded approvingly, and pointed directly in the direction of the abandoned castle outside the town: "You can only escape to the castle outside the town, and if you meet the Ante, even if you have horses, you may not be able to escape, their walking degree is equivalent to a person running, but they can walk all day." Flee to the castle, their main target is this town, maybe they will let us go, at least not all of them, as long as we can drag it out until dawn, maybe we will survive. ”
"Ante people are afraid of the sun?" Wang Qinian was stunned, which was not in Owen's memory.
"Of course not, but after so many years of being driven underground by the High Elves, the Antes don't like sunlight, so they don't generally carry out large-scale operations in the sun. Bernhard said.
"It's all unraveled, it's all unraveled. Shall we help the leader?" the slave catchers freed all the slaves, one hundred and fifty-six wood elves, a few other slaves, a few orcs, a dozen or so half-orcs, and their own kind, who were also humans.
The Wood Elves were relatively quiet under the leadership of the female elf, even though they knew that the dreaded Ante Antmen were attacking outside.
Those orcs were from the Munk tribe, and they were relatively calm, but a few Terran slaves were shaking their teeth.
Wang Qinian was actually quite scared, but things were already like this, and if he wanted to survive, he had to fight.
In the novels I've read before, the advantage of the time-traveler is nothing more than that he will create something that the other world will not.
But now, in this case, it's useless to make gunpowder, because it's too late.
But Wang Qinian still won't give up, he, who has already returned most of his knowledge to the teacher, life is a traverser who eats and drinks, and he doesn't want to die yet, at least he has one more thing that these people don't have in front of him.
"Listen to me, from now on, our goal is the castle outside the town, and the only way to do this is to escape there, and then we all work together to support the Ant-Man to retire until dawn, Mr. Bernhard said that the Ant-Man does not like to move in the sun. ”
Wang Qinian pointed in the direction, "Everyone will rush with me for a while, don't disperse, while the people in the town can still delay for a while, this is our only chance to escape." ”
Everyone nodded, Wang Qinian still wanted to speak, suddenly Bernhard's expression moved, old John shouted, and saw that the window suddenly shattered, and an ugly head stuck in, and two brown tentacles nearly thirty centimeters long poked in.
Old John snatched the knife of a slave catcher next to him and slashed it hard, but the head shrank so quickly that it slashed at the remnants of the window lattice, shattering the window completely, but it did not hit the ant-man soldier.
"Start!" Wang Qinian shouted, he casually took one of the shields of the slave catchers as a weapon, and jumped out of the window first, of course, protecting the shield in front of him when he jumped out.
There was a buzz, and sure enough, an ant-man crashed over, but it hit a shield made of stainless steel, and Wang Qinian was immediately knocked to the ground, but the ant soldier himself was also bounced several meters away, and he couldn't get up for a while.
Wang Qinian didn't look at him, only looked at the scene in the town slightly.
The town has turned into hell, and the slave catchers and the male inhabitants of the town are making a final struggle, but the Ante Ant-Man has completely destroyed the town's walls, which are in fact not strong at all, and there is no way to stop the Ante.
Wang Qinian saw Cockland and the others, Cockland, Tuxman, and Master Zanqi together, they were surrounded by Ante Ant-Man on a roof, still resisting.
In his hand, Cockland has a serpentine sword similar to that of Old John, and every swing can pierce through Ant-Man's carapace, causing Ant-Man to stab Yan zhòng, while Tuxman acts as a meat shield, waving the deformed shield in his hand to block the front.
The shield made of steel now resembled a half-melted piece of chocolate, corroded by Anteant-Man's injured bodily fluids.
Although the Black Ant Warrior and the Brown Ant Sapper cannot use the strong acid breath like the Red Ant Noble Warlock, their body fluids after being injured also have a corrosive effect, and in the current environment, Tuxman has no choice, in fact, it is not easy for him to support it until now.
He was the first of the three strong men of the slave catcher team to encounter the Ante Ant-Man, and the battle lasted the longest, and then Corcoran and Zanzi came out to see that it was not the few pre-arranged wolves arranged by Zanzi to attack him, but the terrifying Ante Ant-Man.
Things were out of Cockland and Zanzie's plan from the very beginning, otherwise the slave catchers would have been prepared to defend at the beginning, maybe the situation would have been a little better, rather than being attacked from the beginning, and the three main characters were separated into several pieces by the Ante Ant-Man, and it was impossible to even organize a decent defense.
Fortunately, the Ante Ant-Man is not a master of tactics, he only knows how to constantly drag food to the darkness outside the town, and there are only two kinds of difference between living and dead food for them, and the living ones are dragged to the nest with the needle anesthesia in the mouthparts and stored, and the dead are best eaten within two or three days, not wasted.
Therefore, the three of Corcoran were able to still converge together after being caught off guard, and after the three of them converged, with Tuxman as a meat shield, Cockland's lethality and Zanzi's magic were fully exerted, definitely not one plus one equals two, which can produce a greater effect.
This indirectly helped Wang Qinian, otherwise their escape plan would definitely not have been so smooth.
One hundred and eighty-nine slaves, plus Wang Qinian and ten slave catchers, plus Bernhard, a total of two hundred and one people.
When two hundred and one people were doing one thing at the same time and fleeing in one direction, although the Ante Ant-Man was powerful, it was difficult to completely intercept it in a hurry.
An ant soldier was stabbed by Old John's sword, and the other five or six slave catchers slashed a few times, Wang Qinian had to shout: "Don't cut it, it's important to escape." ”
The remaining more than a hundred elves trampled over the ant-man, and although the ant-man's vitality was known for its tenacity, he still died quite aggrieved and was trampled to death.
From rushing out to going straight to the ancient castle outside the town, Wang Qinian's actions and purposes were quite simple, so the time was also very fast, and they didn't stop at all, so that Ant-Man didn't have time to allocate too much strength to intercept at the beginning.
After killing a few ant-men on the road, only two slave catchers were injured, but about a dozen elves were slightly injured.
But what's even more troublesome is that there are a few elves who need others to drag them along, because they once drank water mixed with alchemical potions, and after drinking the water, they don't have more strength to fight except barely walking, even running is difficult to last, and now although they haven't run with all their strength, they are just walking at a very fast speed, but the cost of running is actually no less than running, and those elves are a little unbearable.
Wang Qinian didn't have time to pay attention to this, he knew that the first hurdle that might be really dangerous was probably the moment he rushed out of the town.
