Section 3: Siege
In the quiet of the night, a large area of dark clouds rarely moved away, revealing half of the moonlight.
A faint glow sprinkled on the hill, and a tall but sensitive figure bent over the waist, approaching the valley step by step.
This is the southeast of the taiga farm, near the barren land of the Millennium Mountain Range, as far as Lance knows, in the past, there were only a few frost goblins on the periphery of the Millennium Mountain Range at most, and it was still winter.
"This time the Frost Demon is abnormally active, and it has been demonized, it must have something to do with it. Lance pondered.
On the other side, the shadow quickly approached the valley with the Frost Demon Lair, and he leaned down and picked up a stone from the ground.
"I can do it!" Eric gritted his teeth, although he didn't agree with Lance's arrangement, but he also knew that if he rashly alarmed too many monsters, it would only increase the casualties of his own personnel.
The best way to do this is to attract the Frost Demon out in small numbers, and then quickly cull it.
Playing more and fighting less is the safest way. This is Lance's strategy, and the key to this strategy is that a quick guy needs to lure some monsters over without alarming other monsters. With his young age, good physical fitness, and fast running, Eric is a good candidate – especially if he volunteers.
Standing behind a large tree next to the hill, Lance calmly observed Eric's movements, and if this guy made any mistakes, he would not hesitate to order all the soldiers to retreat.
Ideally, he would like Eric to lure 8 to 10 demonized Frost Goblins to the back of this hill. Due to the upheaving of the hillside, it is difficult for the monsters in the valley to observe the battle taking place here. Lance had twelve well-trained warriors under his command, and in a one-on-one situation, even at night, it shouldn't be a problem to take down the Frost Goblin.
"I hope this kid can give me a good inducement. Before he knew it, Lance had taken out the short bow and held it in his hand, this time he brought five quivers, three of which he carried himself, and Henry, who had no ability to fight, carried two for him. Each quiver has twenty white-feathered arrows stored in it, which should be enough to shoot these monsters.
Three hundred paces away, Eric bent nervously, took a deep breath, and slammed the stone in his hand into the head of a frost goblin.
Then he turned and ran!
"Chirp!"
The enraged Frost Goblin suddenly let out a sharp cry, and many monsters in its vicinity were alarmed.
Eric was tall and difficult to hide in the night, and the frost goblin took the lead, and after the demonization, their eyes emitted a faint red light, although it looked terrifying, but for Lance, it was just a living target.
"Thirteen in total, a bit much. Lance frowned, and he waved his hand back, signaling for everyone to prepare for battle.
The soldiers at the bottom of the hill understood and drew their swords, but instead of standing there, they hid behind the big trees in the woods below the hillside.
Lance even grabbed the thick branches on the tree, and after a few rubs, he climbed to the top of the big tree, leaning his back against the trunk and holding his breath.
He had never thought of fighting these monsters head-on, and it would be best if he could sneak attack.
......
Eric gasped, not hiding his form in the slightest, and strode towards Lance's side.
Behind him were thirteen frost goblins, their eyes red and their heart-stopping roars.
It was only at this time that Eric suddenly felt a sense of fear.
In order to lighten the burden and increase the speed of running, he did not even carry a sword. But in the process of escaping, he suddenly found that the speed of those frost demons was actually no slower than his own!
"These monsters are more demonized. The fox immediately reported, "These frost goblins are faster than the ones we encountered in the woods below the cliffs. ”
Lance nodded silently, if those frost demons were at this speed, I'm afraid that the lame Henry wouldn't be able to escape at all!
What the hell is in the valley!?
Lance looked solemn.
Eric ran wildly, this time, he used all his strength to feed, and in his heart, he definitely hated Lance. To let him do such a dangerous mission is to send him to death, and he doesn't even have a weapon to protect himself!
It's just that he volunteered to stop this job because he was hot-headed, and he could only knock out his front teeth and swallow it in his stomach, take out all his strength, and run wildly all the way.
......
"It's coming!"
Lance whistled low, a signal that they had made an appointment beforehand.
The soldiers were ready.
Eric's figure had just rushed over the hill and passed the tree beneath Lance's feet, when the frost goblin at the front had already caught up.
"Look for death!"
As soon as Lance lowered his head, the sharp arrow that had been aimed at him for a long time shot down from the tree fiercely, and with the help of Eagle Eye, the white feather arrow directly pierced through the Frost Earth Demon's Heavenly Spirit Cover, nailing it to the ground!
As if he had been pardoned, Eric ran down the hill as fast as he could. A few frost demons from behind also caught up, but this time, Lance didn't make a move.
The demonized Frost Demon had no idea that the murderer was hiding above their heads. When they saw the corpse of their companion, they became more and more furious, and when they looked up, they saw that Eric boy was running wildly!
So these simple-minded guys decided that this guy was the murderer, and immediately chased after him.
The remaining twelve Frost Goblins obediently burrowed into the encirclement, just as Lance had planned.
......
Eric hurried into the woods, and when he reached the agreed place, he turned to see twelve monsters coming at him with bared teeth.
That momentum frightened the young man into throwing all his pride and ambition out of the clouds, and he almost knelt on the ground with a weak leg.
"Hey, boy, borrow!" a soldier suddenly appeared from behind a tree, throwing a sword in the distance.
Eric gasped and took the sword, only to see figures emerge from behind the trees and launch a fierce attack on the nearby Frost Goblin.
These soldiers are all elite characters in the territory, otherwise they would not have been drawn to the castle patrol. The veteran oilers took advantage of the sneak attack, where would they be soft, and immediately beat the water dogs, and took the key points of the frost demon with one sword and one sword.
The attention of these ferocious monsters has always been on Eric, who would have expected the cunning humans to play ambush?
By the time they reacted, half of the twelve frost demons had fallen!
"Damn, so fast!" Eric was startled, and just as he was taken aback, two more soldiers cleanly eliminated their opponent in a one-on-one situation.
There were only four Frost Demons left to resist stubbornly, their mouths emitting a sharp whistling sound, jumping up and down, and their movements were extremely agile.
However, under the siege of everyone, their defeat was already doomed.
Eric was suddenly very anxious, and the monster he had worked so hard to attract at the risk of his life was killed by others.
He was furious, and in the blink of an eye, three more of the four remaining frost demons had fallen, leaving only one struggling.
"It's just mine!"
The blonde boy let out a loud shout and rushed forward.
The rest of the soldiers were stunned for a moment, and then showed a knowing smile, and did not rob Eric.
Eric breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, watching the short Frost Demon grinning at him, and suddenly became a little proud: "Finally, there is a Frost Demon who really died at my hands, and when I go out in the future, I can also tell others, especially Miss Erin, that I am the man who has killed the demonized monster!"
"Hey, monster, eat me with a sword!"
Sou!
There was a crisp sound of breaking the sky, and before Eric's sword could slash into the Frost Goblin, an abrupt arrow emerged from the opponent's forehead.
Due to the distance, the bow and arrow did not carry much force. However, the sharp arrows still thrust through the back of the monster's weakest head, killing him once and for all.
Eric froze with his sword raised. The Frost Goblin fell.
And on the hillside in the distance, Lance was holding a short bow with an expressionless face, and Shi Shiran walked over.
......
"Damn...... This is clearly robbing me of my credit!" Eric was furious!
It's just that everyone gathered around Lance, and they all showed joy, and they didn't know how to exit for a while, so they secretly stopped.
"This round up was perfect, everyone worked hard. No one was injured, and the goal set at the beginning was achieved. Lance said calmly, "Let's rest for ten minutes." ”
All the soldiers responded one after another, seizing the time to rest. Because they know that the next battle may be even harder.
Eric sat on the ground and said with some yin and yang weirdness: "Master Lance, I can't run anymore, next time I blame you, I have to change someone." ”
Unexpectedly, the difficulties he expected did not appear, but Lance nodded and praised, "Eric, you are doing very well. Honestly, you're the most crucial part of my plan, because none of us can run as fast as you......"
He, is he praising me? Eric was stunned.
The blonde boy scratched his head in embarrassment and giggled.
"So, this time we were able to make the siege successful, thanks to you. Lance continued to praise. "You are our hero. ”
Eric was suddenly a little fluttery, he smiled, hesitated for a while, and actually patted his chest and said, "Young Master Lance, I sat for a while and found that my strength had regained my strength." The next mission to attract monsters is still wrapped up in me. ”
There was a low laugh among the soldiers.
Lance couldn't help but laugh dumbly in his heart, this boy from another world is too simple, right?
However, he said: "No need, we will no longer be ambushes and sneak attacks." ”
"We're going to attack. ”
