Chapter Ninety-Six: The Harpy's Counterattack

This is a victory that Eagle Cliff has been looking forward to for dozens of generations, and it has come so hard, even with a tactical advantage, they still lost more than thirty Ode.

The results of the battle were also unprecedented, and a total of forty-three Harpys were killed, which was more than the previous historical records of the Eagle Cliff Cave combined.

"Just ran away?" Gavin obviously didn't expect the harpies to leave their lair so cleanly.

According to his original expectation, they would have to fight the Harpy at least three or four times, and reduce their numbers to less than a third before they abandoned the nest and fled.

"Their lair, quick, quick, copy their lair, it's better to set it on fire." Gavin shouted from below.

Just to avoid the influence of the Harpy's song of temptation, all Oard, with their ears plugged so tightly that they couldn't hear Gavin's cry at all.

It's not just Gavin who thinks of this.

As the commander of the front line, Captain Zack, also thought of this, waved his hand, took the Odd beside him, and pounced on the top of the Eagle Cliff with a fierce momentum, they wanted to do this, for a long time, for a long time.

At first, there weren't many Od who saw Zach's gestures, but when he started flying up, the rest of Ode instinctively followed him, and soon realized what he wanted to do, and followed more closely.

It didn't take long for a fire to break out on the Eagle Cliff.

Obviously, Buck and Gavin wanted to go together, and even if the harpies didn't come back, they burned their nests first.

When the Ode, who had made their way to Eagle Bluff, returned, there were eight eggs the size of a man's head, in addition to the mess of loot.

No need to ask, it must be the Harpy.

Boom!

Another dragon roar, the sound of war drums beating.

Deep in the Eagle Cliff Cave, you can feel the shock of the dragon's roar and war drums.

It was as if there were countless trills passing by him.

The earth is the surface, the dragon is the skin, the Erd is the hammer, and the eagle cliff is the throat.

This is not an exaggeration.

It's real.

The Dragon's Roar War Drum is located in the middle of the depths of the Eagle Cliff Cave.

It is two meters tall and five meters in diameter.

It was molded directly from stone on the ground, and it was covered with a dragon skin, albeit a pterodactyl skin.

In order to beat this drum, it must be repeatedly struck by an Ode, who rises and falls repeatedly.

After the sound came out, it passed through the complex terrain of the Eagle Cliff Cave and expanded out, thus forming a loud noise against the Harpy Chorus.

The reason why the Eagle Cliff Cave has its current structure also has a lot to do with this war drum.

"Patriarch, the war is over, why don't you stop the war drums?" Gavin asked, confused.

The drum-beating Odd was scarred, with many bones, deformed, and covered in blood, and every take-off was extremely difficult.

The sound of the drums of war grew longer and deeper.

The Eagle's Cliff Cave Patriarch said with a heavy face: "It's not that I don't want to stop, but I can't stop, the dragon roar war drum has its own life, every time it starts, the blood and soul of our people must be sacrificed, and he has become a part of the war drum." ”

Gavin couldn't help but froze when he heard this, and looked at the Elder again, and through the dim light of the fireflies, he could see something different.

In fact, the Elder died long ago, but was manipulated by an invisible force, rising and falling again and again.

Since the Eagle's Cliff Cave Patriarch specially emphasized that the other party had been integrated with the war drums, it meant that the soul had not entered reincarnation, but was devoured by the dragon's roar war drums.

It's a drum of darkness in the truest sense of the word.

After so many years, I don't know how much of Erde's life essence and soul have been devoured.

"Patriarch, the loot is here."

As Buck returned, the odds and pieces that Oder had scavenged from the eagle's nest piled up, including the eggs of the eight harpies.

The Chester patriarch said to Gavin: "Chief Gavin, according to what we said before, these trophies are all your black wells. ”

This was also part of Gavin's pre-war agreement with the Eagle Cliff Cave, and the military assistance of the Black Well tribe was not gratuitous.

Gavin glanced at it, didn't look closely, and nodded to show that he knew, "This matter is not in a hurry, the war is not over yet!" We have to set up a second round of the battlefield as soon as possible, and I am afraid that we will face a massive counterattack soon. ”

Buck was surprised: "After being killed so many at once, those harpies still dare to come back?" ”

"If the queen is left behind in this battle, the remaining harpys may be completely far away, or even split into several branches." Gavin said with a cautious face, "Although the other party retreated, but the whole is not chaotic, that queen before leaving, she did not forget to kill our pursuers, everywhere revealed cunning and ruthlessness, I dare to assert that she will not give up, and will soon come back." ”

"Come on, we can hunt down so many of their clansmen at their peak, fully prove the feasibility of the tactics, this time we will kill more until we kill them all." Buck was full of confidence.

"Do you think those harpy banshees will come back alone next time?" Gavin has a look on his face that you don't want to be too naΓ―ve.

"If they don't come by themselves, can they still bring troops? There's no suitable alliance for them nearby. Buck didn't turn a corner for a moment.

"Have you forgotten their song of seduction? That's their best way of attacking, especially their chorus, which doesn't have an obvious effect on us, because we are prepared in advance, to deal with those unprepared creatures, they only have the fate of *** control, and they want to gather a ragtag army, for them, I don't think it's difficult. Gavin stopped beating around the bush and got straight to the point.

"Are they so good?" Buck was a little unconvinced, "If they were really that good, they would have done it a long time ago, and they would have to wait until now?" ”

"You didn't slaughter a third of their population at once, you didn't push them into a hurry! Of course, there are also elements of my speculation in this matter, but there is no big mistake in being careful, once we face a two-sided attack on the ground and air, we will be very passive, especially since you have so many entrances, and it is more difficult to defend. ”

The Eaglecliff Cave Patriarch took the lead and said: "Buck, don't fight anymore, what the leader of Gavin said is very right, it is a matter of life and death for the entire tribe, be careful, it's always good, even if the estimate is wrong, don't do too much fortifications." ”

Captain Buck was stunned when he heard this, indeed, this matter did not have any point of dispute at all, and said: "It's true that there is a problem with my thoughts, Chief Gavin, what do you need me to do?" ”

"Your task is mainly to fight in the air, count the casualties, reorganize the team, ensure that they can enter a new round of battle as soon as possible, boost morale, and ensure that they will not be caught off guard, it is best to send more sentries in the direction where those harpies left, and monitor every move over there." Gavin didn't have any humility and went straight to the army.

Then he turned to Chester and said, "Patriarch, the entrance to our ground must be blocked a lot, especially some passages that are useless for the war, and all of them will be blocked. ”

"I'll organize the manpower immediately." The Eaglecliff Cave Patriarch said confidently, "If it is a new round of attacks, it does come from the ground, and the leader of Gavin doesn't have to worry too much, we have at least three defense lines in the cave, which can resist the defense in turn, and the rabble who are charmed want to break through, but I'm afraid it's not so easy." ”

Gavin let out a long breath and said, "That's great, I hope I'm thinking too much." ”

Now the Eagle Cliff Cave, from top to bottom, has recognized Gavin's military ability, and he is a great credit to the brilliant results they can achieve today.

Without his psychic spells and the interlocking tactics he had planned, they would never have been able to kill so many Harpys.

Therefore, Chester and Buck attached great importance to Gavin's speculation, and some unnecessary holes were still blocked overnight, and Outward Sentinel even scattered three.

Soon after, Outpost Ode came back with news confirming that Gavin's speculation was not pure speculation.

Those harpys did not simply withdraw, but under the leadership of the Harpy Queen, they frantically performed the dance of temptation and the song of temptation everywhere.

Unsuspecting creatures are difficult to resist and have been hit.

In one night, they gathered a ragtag army composed of thousands of various creatures and slaughtered them towards the Eagle Cliff Cave.

This ragtag army really lives up to its name.

There were green-skinned goblins and brown kobolds, wild boars, bison, and rock sheep, and packs of wild wolves in between, and even two trolls, a dozen goblins, all blinded, staggering towards the Eagle Cliff burrow.

Only the Harpy can bring so many creatures together with her unique abilities.

Gavin once again emphasized the tactics to Buck, "The ground forces are only auxiliary, the focus is still on air combat, remember, the thief must capture the king, if the queen is captured, the rest will collapse without a fight, if we can't take her, even if we win this one again, it can only be regarded as a small victory, and there are still many troubles waiting for us in the future." ”

"Understood." Buck nodded solemnly and said, "No matter what, this time, I'm going to screw off the Harpy Queen's head." ”

"Do your best." The only thing Gavin could do was pat Buck on the shoulder and cheer him on, air combat was beyond his ability to help them more, and the rest was up to them.

This time, the Harpy is on guard, and what awaits them will be a bitter battle.

Sure enough, this time the Harpy also adjusted her tactics and was ready to face it hard.

After Ode in the Eagle Cliff Cave attacked, Song of Temptation didn't even try, and directly chased Ode to start the most fierce hand-to-hand combat in the air.

They need to be fast, lethal and lethal enough, at least enough to deal with Ode.

The only flaw is that the number is too small, and there are only sixty or seventy Harpies left.

The Odd of the Eagle Cliff Cave also poured out of the nest, and the number exceeded three hundred.

This time, instead of dodging and using the burrows to fight guerrillas, as usual, they gathered behind Buck and rushed towards the harpy.

Just an air charge.

Eighteen Harpys were hit on the spot and were knocked into a coma by the special operations team surrounding Buck.

The surrounding Ode, immediately swarmed, this time without even using a net, while frantically stabbing with their own small daggers, while dragging her arms or legs, falling to the ground.

The surrounding harpies tried to come to the rescue, but more psychic bullets blasted out, and more Odo surrounded them.

The Eagle Cliff Cave also began to fight desperately, fighting a war of attrition regardless of the cost, and Ode fell down in pieces.

After just two rounds of bombardment, most of the guards around the Harpy Queen disappeared, exposing them to the army of Erde.

Chirp!

The Harpy Queen roared, and instead of retreating, she rushed up against Buck, obviously very confident in her own combat power.

At the same time, she was full of contempt for the Mind Bullet, she had tasted the taste of the spell herself, but the effect was not enough to pose a mortal threat to her.

Buck's attempt once again confirms this.

Three psychic bullets in succession took one to hit the Harpy Queen.

As a result, the other party just shook his head for a while, and before they could get closer, they had already recovered and started a frenzied killing, and as soon as they got started, they eliminated the two Ode who rushed too close.

Buck was also targeted by the Harpy Queen, and with a flap of his wings, he lunged at him.

Buck threw another bullet and turned to run.

This mental bullet also took effect, temporarily slowing down the Harpy Queen's pursuit, allowing the distance between the two sides to be further widened.

The Harpy Queen was biting hard.

The entire air battle has become bloody and inflamed.

The harpies who were stabbed to death with daggers by the Ode, not one of them, but there were not many of them.

Most of the Erde still chose to drag the harpy to the ground, but before they landed, most of them woke up, and there was no restriction on catching nets, these harpies would not die obediently, and they fought back frantically, scratching and scratching.

But those Ode, one holding one arm and one leg, refused to let go, and the other hand used a small dagger and kept stabbing him.

Some of them broke free, dripping with blood from the stabs.

Some of them were injured and had to fall.

The other part, together with Ode, who was holding her, fell to the ground and lost both.

Many of them were harpies who didn't fall to their deaths, and the Ode, who were holding her, never got up again.

Buck, who was chased by the Harpy Queen and cornered, repeated his tricks and wanted to drill into the dog hole of Eagle Cliff.

Where was the Harpy Queen willing to do what he wanted, the blood on her wings was even thicker, and her speed increased by one point out of thin air, and she took a step ahead of Buck, blocking in front of the dog hole not far away, showing her four claws and waiting for Buck to send it to the door by himself.

The Harpy Queen turned back again, and saw not despair and fear, but a hint of triumph in the success of her scheme.

Is this a trap?

The Harpy Queen looked back suddenly, and there was an ordinary kobold standing there, the only difference was that his eyes were not grayish-brown, but blue, and there was a blue light flashing in them.

Then the Harpy Queen felt her brain tingle again and was groan.

When he came back to his senses, a stout figure had already pounced on his back, frantic tearing, scratching and gnawing.

Kobolds?

No, kobolds don't have such sharp claws, and every time they hit with their claws, they were so painful that their entire back and two blood feathers were torn apart.

Wolves?

No, their claws can't be so bent, and the bent ones can be firmly rooted in their chests, no matter how she throws them, they can't shake them out.

You are a genius, remember in a second: Red Sweet Spring:
