Today in the Shadow Valley, on the seventeenth day of the Barren Mountain Theater Blockade, everyone spent a rather "fulfilling" morning.

In just a few hours in the morning, the gnolls blocking the entrance to the valley launched two attacks, and the result of the battle was the hundreds of extra body bags on the Nord positions, and these brave soldiers killed the same number of enemies on the drawbridge that symbolized the hope of resistance, but the gnolls died, and the Nord commander could not use the lives of his soldiers so "recklessly".

While the defenders of the valley held back the gnolls, the kobolds continued to explore the valley.

The Earth Priests are constantly using precise seismology to collapse the tunnels excavated by the kobolds, but if they collapse one, the kobold on the opposite side will restart the excavation of at least two tunnels, and when the battlefield is reconfined to a specific area and the advantage of flexible interspersing cannot be used, the numerical advantage of the Black Plague side becomes the key to the victory.

Whether on the ground or underground, the Gnoll's side slowly but surely gained the upper hand, like two strong men wrestling their wrists, and in the case of similar skills, it is always the side with the absolute strength that will win.

None of the armies in the valley would suggest a retreat at this time, but all the commanders were boosting their morale and preparing for orders that could come at any time, and most of the tunnel system was still in the hands of players and NPCs, which was their last lifeline. Unless Governor Murphy really makes up his mind to fight the Gnolls here, a retreat like the Black Flame Pass would be the best solution when the situation is irreparably bad.

But this is not to shirk responsibility!

Different from the stubborn defense of the Black Flame Mountain Pass, the strategic goal set by the Barren Mountain Theater Blocking War from the beginning was to delay and attrition, and everyone knew that the decisive battle could not take place in this kind of terrain, which was simply death.

General Maxim, who led the People's Army to support the Nords, was inspecting the position at this time, and while the soldiers were resting, he planned to talk to the commander of the Nord army, Basomiyan, who was not the only defender in the valley, but perhaps to prove the courage of the descendants of the Great Wilderness, these guys were stubbornly unwilling to evacuate, resulting in their losses in the past few days were quite staggering.

Their sacrifice and fighting spirit are obvious to all, and now no one in the valley will blame the Northkews for the disaster in the Black Flame Pass.

Maxim felt compelled to explain the matter to Colonel Basomyan, and if they continued to fight with their brutal tactics, the vanguard of the Winter Wolves would soon be too heavy to continue their duties.

The above battle process did not affect the crazy excavation of the domestic 003 and the "engineer brigade" he organized in the ground, and it turned out that when a group of people had the same goal and were willing to make efforts to do so, even the speed of digging a pit with a sapper shovel was much faster than expected.

According to the current progress, 003 optimistically estimates that it may only take them 4 days to dig to the predetermined blasting site, which will definitely have a significant impact on the battlefield of the Shadow Valley, where the intensity of the battle is becoming more and more exaggerated.

Command also mobilized the Shadow Warrior Monks and the Berserkers of the Brotherhood of Vam to patrol the nearby tunnels to prevent the excavation from being accidentally discovered by the Kobolds under the command of the Gnolls.

Murphy and Maxim already had the idea of "doing a big job" before retreating, and 003's adventure fit this theme quite well, so Maxim made this demolition operation the core battlefield of the final counterattack in the Shadow Valley.

While the defenders of the valley were uncomfortable, the smooth progress of the battle in recent days had made the Overseer of Hurgesen feel good.

Part of this pleasure came from old Manson's overturned gutter, and though the poor old priest had found the Chosen to hunt for his soul, the total weakness inflicted on him by Lady Yvette's arrow of judgment still made old Manson miserable.

Not to mention commanding battles, it is now difficult to even guide the hunting priests in their daily prayers to the gods.

In this case, this "eyeliner" arranged by the Bloodscar clan next to Xu Gesen was naturally unable to carry out the secret and vicious "supervising army" work, so that the Hunter Chosen could finally arrange his own tactics and mobilize the army completely independently without any interference.

It turns out that the people who engage in faith may be good at demagoguery and preaching, but the military aspect is by no means the area where they should shine.

Without Old Manson's pointing, Xu Gesen's personal command filled the pressure of the defenders of the Shadow Valley in a short period of time, and the other party could no longer flexibly intersperse under the all-round suppression of the Hunting Divine Choice, and their strategic space was further compressed.

This forced showdown is on the agenda, and Hügsen has no doubts about his victory.

However, this does not mean that the Hunting Chosen can rest easy, because in addition to the Valley of the Shadows, there is another factor that has been interfering with the deployment of its army in the past few days.

Those elusive astral wolves!

Although the main target of the wolf plague launched by Kherson was Murphy and his henchmen, it was absolutely impossible to expect the wolves to compromise with the situation where the gnolls hunted the astral wolves to replenish the fresh meat reserves.

There was simply not enough food near the Barren Mountain, so a part of the wolves were pushed to the vicinity of the Black Flame Pass under the leadership of the Wolf Calamity Lord Jubir, who was injured by Lord Aurora, and joined up with the unlucky ghost lord Wasson who had his head cut off, but the rest were led by Lord Baucus to launch vicious sneak attacks on the ground forces of the gnolls again and again.

This is revenge for the Gnolls for hunting the Astral Wolves to feed their stomachs.

This swift and ferocious revenge forced Hygesen to dedicate some of his forces to fight these wolves outside the Valley of the Shadows, collecting more fresh meat and preparing for the long drive into Transnesia.

The elite of the Splitting Claw Clan would not have a problem defeating ordinary wolves, but the cunning and ferocious Wolf Calamity Lord was indeed a big problem, so while the "pressure tactics" of the Shadow Valley were progressing smoothly, the Chosen Hunter decided to go out himself.

It was going to capture and kill the damned Wolf Plague Lord as a tribute to the Lord of the Hunt.

Well, the evil god will definitely enjoy such a noble tribute, so that he can be more satisfied with his own divine choice.

Poor old Manson also made a personal request to Hygson, who needed some of the divine blood of the Wolf Lord to help him recover.

In this case, it is reasonable and reasonable, and Xu Gesen has to show his sincerity.

Hunting was a traditional art of the Gnolls, and after the Chosen Lord's order, a hunt against the Wolf Plague Lord Baucus was immediately put on the agenda, and by the time Hygson entered the area where the Astral Wolves were active with fifteen hunters, the gnolls under his command had completed a siege.

The ferocious giant wolf lord has been trapped in the hunting ground, but it is also very likely that it has entered here on its own initiative, and regarded this as its own reverse hunt for Xu Gesen.

As a direct descendant of the legendary beast and Sue, Baucus certainly has this arrogant capital.

It is not as powerful as Kherson, but Uhgesen serves a god who has not yet awakened, so the two sides are basically half a pound and eight taels, and neither can talk about an overwhelming advantage.

The Gnoll's Overseer looked at the frosty mist and bone-eating wind in front of him, and it stepped into it with its claws on its faceless face, hunting the elect with it, while the remaining gnolls continued to hunt the ordinary astral wolves around them.

At this moment, Xu Gesen really felt that he should be grateful to these unknown giant wolves.

With the Jackals' food routes repeatedly harassed by the Trancians, this "moving fresh meat" is a great supplement to its army, and if Hygeson does capture and occupy Transasia in the future, then it will definitely have to create a statue of the Astral Wolves.

After the name was decided, it was called "Offering of the Wolves".

"It's here, hidden in every fatal breath of the ice mist"

The Grand Overseer sensed the silent movement of Baucus in the freezing fog of extremely low visibility, and it was not wearing a helmet, not because of arrogance, but because its helmet had been snatched by the Transansians during the previous attack.

It was going to take back what it had been taken from it with its own hands, and until then, it would rather just expose its head.

It knew the wolf was watching it in hiding.

What an arrogant brute, he didn't bother to attack the Hunter Elector at all, the target was chosen on himself from the beginning, and the battle between the Hunter Electors and the Sons of Box sounded all around, and it was clear that this Wolf Plague Lord also had his own elite wolf pack.

"Come on, then!"

Hurgeson jumped off the wolf and pulled out his foul fangs wrapped in blood with his backhand.

It was one with its hunting companion, cautiously awaiting the attack, and at some point quietly walked by, the huge figure of Box silently appeared behind Uhgeson.

The ice mist rolled into a storm, and the bite with the power of the astral plane snapped in the next moment, but Xu Gesen reacted faster than he thought.

It's like a golden-red lightning bolt!

In the face of the wolf's deadly chokehold, the Overseer stabbed the Filthy Fang into Bakes's mouth with a backhand, and the wolf retreated into the frosty mist with a snort, leaving a pool of blood and a shattered tooth in place.

Xu Gesen smiled with satisfaction, leaned down to collect the blood, and by the way, put the broken tooth into his bag, which was just enough to make a talisman dagger for his soon-to-be-born child.

The momentary encounter shouldn't have caused such real damage to the legendary creatures, but Baucus's retreat proved Hurgeson's guess.

The Filthy Fang in its hand is a sacred sword given to the Nords by the God of the North Wind, a weapon made of Su's sharp teeth, which has a powerful deterrent and suppressive power against all astral wolves, and even the son of a wolf father like Baox is not immune to the symbolic damage.

"Come out! The power of the Lord of the Hunt is wrapped around the blade of the sword, you have been stabbed, stupid and arrogant wolf, I can clearly feel your position, and I know that my god is draining your life and power.

There's nowhere to run! ”

Xu Gesen shouted defiantly:

"You were dead the moment you were stabbed, and now all you can pursue is a dignified end, and I will mercifully grant you relief, poor worm!"

This provocation made the giant wolf Bocks hate it, but it knew that it had to retreat now, and that there was something wrong with the strange sword that haunted the filthy power! After being hit, he was rapidly weakening.

But as it silently retreated into its own ice mist, Shügeson's ears suddenly moved, and he turned and roared and threw out the filthy fangs in his hand, and the blood-colored divine power gathered into a chain wrapped around the greatsword, sending it like a harpoon and a javelin.

Balks swept up the cold wind to escape into the shadows, but as it reunited from the shadows in the other direction, the flying greatsword pierced its massive hind legs with precision.

The Power of the Lord of the Hunt: Endless Pursuit.

Whoever is locked will be hit!

"Whew!"

The roar of the Wolf Calamity Lord resounded throughout the hunting ground at this moment, and the painful howl silenced the astral wolves, but made the jackals morale burst, their divine choice was invincible! The mighty giant wolf can only be its food.

"Up!"

Xu Gesen gave an order, grabbed the divine chain, and pulled himself to the injured giant wolf for an instant.

Its wolf claws jumped with it, and it gnawed at the neck of the immobile Bokesbo, also strengthened by the Lord of the Hunt, and bit off a piece of bloody flesh with a flick of its head, and Hurgeson pulled out his filthy fangs and slammed into the counterattacking wolf.

The combat skills it uses are simple and powerful, magnificent and atmospheric, and each blow can cause painful damage to the behemoth in front of you, which is the "security captain swordsmanship" taught by the king of biting bones.

The unremarkable golden Transcendental Law Voodoo power of the Jackal Chosen has been replaced with the Transcendental Law Divine Hunt in the Chosen promotion, which does not damage its strength and gives it the ability to plunder the enemy's power and strengthen itself.

Unlike the Blooddread Clan's temporary plunder, Hygson's power plunder is permanent.

In other words, the longer you fight this guy, the stronger it becomes, and the weaker the enemy will be, and if you can't fight it in the first place, you'll have to bow your head and wait for death.

At first, the Lord of the Plague could barely resist the puncture and tear caused by the Filthy Fang, but soon it was unable to inflict effective damage on Whugson, and the Legendary Claw could only leave scars on Whugson's armor as a symbol of bravery.

The excited death claw is refreshing today, and every piece of the flesh with the blood of the god of the north wind can make it feel the breath of power, and the more it eats, the stronger it gets! It simply can't stop.

"You should have fled back to the astral plane just now, but unfortunately you didn't have a chance!"

As the bruised wolf collapsed, the bloodied Legson stepped forward with his blood-dripping foul fangs, looked at Baucus with anger and hatred, laughed shamefully, raised his sword and stabbed into the wolf lord's skull.

Sue's sharp teeth pierced the wolf's sturdy skull no more than it did to slice through butter, and with Hurgeson's cold turn of the blade, Box's massive body fell silent after convulsions violently, and a simple ritual representing sacrifice was unleashed.

As Xu Gesen knelt on one knee and called out the name of the Lord of the Hunt, the painful soul voice of the giant wolf echoed in his ears.

The blood-colored glow on its body grew more and more abundant, representing the unawakened Lord of the Hunter expressing supreme satisfaction with the sacrifice and giving himself more power to the Divine Choice.

But Schugsen was not happy about it.

It has been proven that no amount of divine power can help it defeat the strange Murphy, and this great power that countless people want can only become a burden in the battle with Murphy, ah, what a headache for the opponent.

As Bauces died, the woven frost fog and cold wind melted away.

The gnolls came with their hunt, all of them intimidated by the terrifying and hideous form of Box, and the blades standing beside the corpse were even more powerful, and they fanatically chanted Hygson's name, and at the command of the Grand Overseer, they grabbed the skinning knife and stepped forward to divide the rare prey.

The flesh that bears the blood of the god of the north wind will be distributed to the bravest gnolls, but even the humble kobolds will be able to fish a few bones from this victory and take them back to make soup.

This is another advantage of the Gnoll.

Although they are savage most of the time, when there is enough prey, they will also generously give it to "their own people", and the kobolds obey the gnolls because they need a master because of their ignorant minds, and because they can always pick up something to eat with the gnolls when they are hungry.

Provided, of course, that they themselves cannot be food for the gnolls.

The successful hunt made Hugesen feel better.

It planned to send Bawx's skull back to Mossy Valley, and then temper the wolf's heart with voodoo spells and send it to Nanak as a talisman for the children, so that its children could share in their victory and gain courage and strength from the wolf's heart.

But before Xu Gesen could make a decision, a woman's voice sounded in his ears:

"I'm going to make a deal with you, brave gnoll, I want that sword that belongs to my father! Give you some time to think about what kind of reward you are going to ask for, my generosity is rare, so you'd better grasp it. ”
