Chapter 95 Ambush? Fight back!
Climbing over the remains of the city tower still carrying the residual heat of the flames, everyone came to the urn city under the leadership of Lei Wen.
The terrain here is flat, about thirty meters long and twenty meters wide. The ground should have been covered with a layer of snow, but at this time, a considerable part of it was melted and evaporated by Nancy's magic before. There were ashes and burning debris everywhere, with a dusty road in the center.
There is a city gate at the end, but it is now wide open, and you can even see the castle through it.
Vlaf laughed and said, "The Baron's plan is really powerful. There really aren't many people in the Scorpion Nest!"
Raven's expression did not relax at all. He used the Eye of Truth to look around. He obviously didn't find anything, but he always felt that something was wrong.
Just now, Nancy's magic was so powerful that even the deaf could hear the noise, but now the entire scorpion nest is a little too quiet.
The open door seems to be waiting for people to walk in.
"Margaret." Lei Wen's voice was casual and flat: "You go out from the front gate to explore the way."
Now that the entire team is using her, Lei Wen Wen doesn’t need to feel bad.
The witch pointed to her nose: "Me? But..."
Before she could finish her words, her own legs had already stepped up.
Raven's words were an absolute order, and she couldn't disobey it.
Margaret cursed Raven in her heart, but she still had to move forward little by little.
Just when she walked to the city gate, there was a rapid friction sound of iron chains, and then a heavy iron gate fell to the ground with a bang, splashing large amounts of snow while holding the city gate tightly. blockade.
"Come back!" Raven's attention was already focused. When he saw this, he immediately shouted: "Formation!"
Boom - bang! ! !
Three fireworks soared into the sky from the scorpion nest and exploded with a bang.
Under the light of the fire, a large number of horse thieves appeared on the remaining three walls of Wengcheng. There were at least thirty people, each holding a crossbow and steadying their long bow, aiming at the thunder in Wengcheng. Wen et al.
At this time, Margaret had also run back, and the soldiers raised their shields and formed a circle to protect Raven and the other three.
"As expected of Baron Raven, who came up with a plan to divide his troops and launch a surprise attack. He is indeed vigilant." A horse thief with a fiery red beard appeared at the edge of the city wall.
"It's a pity that Mr. Heleti is still more skilled." Another horse thief came out. He was thin and had a goatee around his mouth. His voice was full of ridicule: "He would have arrived long ago. You’re coming!”
Seeing these two people appear, Raven's heart skipped a beat: "'Firebeard' Sheff, 'Steel Teeth' Balu?"
"Yes, it's the two of us. "Fire Beard chuckled.
"Lord Baron's information is very accurate!" Gang Ya continued, with clear sarcasm in his tone.
Raven's heart sank, and his face became increasingly ugly.
"Fire Beard" and "Steel Teeth" are both well-known horse thieves forces outside the Bloody Highlands. They have at least 60 men under their command, and they themselves are second-level extraordinary!
This Heleti dared to leave two powerful outsiders in the Scorpion Nest just to guard against Raven!
"The fireworks are rising, Lord Heleti is already on the way back." Firebeard rubbed his beard, his voice was serious as if he was giving an order: "Now ask your people to put down their weapons, and then put them down." The woman next to you stripped her naked and gave it to us.”
Gang Ya lay on the city wall, his eyes lingering on Nancy:
"As long as you make us happy enough, maybe you still have a chance to survive!"
Nancy's face turned pale and was about to curse, but Raven had already spoken slowly, pointing at the witch beside him: "You guys Want her? That’s okay, Margaret…”
Before the word "take off" was uttered, Fire Beard's expression changed drastically: "You should keep this for yourself to enjoy!"
Margaret is so angry, don't you see? Fuck me, I still don’t like you, what the hell! ?
Gangya's expression darkened: "Lord Baron, are you going to fight tooth and nail for a woman, even ignoring your own men?"
Raven frowned slightly.
As expected of a famous horse thief in the bloody highlands, he did not forget to suppress the morale of his own soldiers at such a time.
But Lei Wen knew and trusted his own soldiers. He turned cold and asked loudly:
"Do we need to exchange our lives for a woman?!"
The soldiers headed by Volav shouted in unison: "No need!!"
Raven asked again: "If we want to survive, what should we do?"
The voices of the soldiers echoed in the barbican: "Fight——!"
Leaven stretched out his hand and With a touch on the belt, he held the staff in his hand:
“Nancy, Mag Litte, do it!”
Nancy waved the staff in her hand and uttered a syllable. The crystal on the top of the staff suddenly lit up, and the originally dark sky suddenly lit up, with six or seven blazing white flames burning. The fireball enveloped the section of the city wall where Firebeard and Gangya were!
Second-level magic, meteors and fire showers!
The corner of Fire Beard's mouth raised a sneer, he drew out the long sword wrapped in blazing fire from his waist, and jumped up with both legs!
In mid-air, Fire Beard turned his wrist and his fighting spirit circulated. The blade of the sword, which was originally only one meter long, suddenly expanded to three or four meters long, and turned into an even more dazzling white color!
He held the sword in both hands, exhaled loudly, and slashed at the fireball falling from the sky!
Zi——
The blade of the sword collided with the fireball, bursting out into clouds of sparks. The fireball was split in half from the center, and then exploded, creating a cloud of fire!
The sword kept sharpening, and Fire Beard raised his arms and waved his arms horizontally. His movements were like dancing, but swift and precise. He fired each fireball in the same way, creating a rain of fire that scattered and burned in mid-air!
Martial skill, "Splitting Flame Slash"!
Not only can it increase the attack distance, but it can also cut through flames.
If used by a strong person from the Holy Realm, even the dragon's breath can be split.
With a snap, Firebeard fell to the ground.
The crisis was over, Gangya waved his arm suddenly:
"Fire arrows!!!"
The crossbowmen who had been preparing for a long time poured into the urn city Feather arrows.
The bowstrings are ringing and arrows are falling like rain! !
Even though Raven's soldiers have formed a shield formation, there are still three walls in Wengcheng, and arrows are pouring down from three directions, so there is no way to fully protect it!
"Protect the Baron!!" Volaf roared and retreated towards Raven with his soldiers!
They can die, but the Baron cannot be hurt!
Looking at the soldiers scrambling for the first place, Snow Chicken huddled in the corner gnashed his teeth and cursed in his heart:
It’s always like this, again!
The most dangerous things are left to others, but Baron Raven just needs to hide in the background and enjoy the benefits.
Watching others fighting for him, watching others dying for him, unable to do anything, and then hypocritically giving them some trivial compensation!
Stop, surrender! Don't die for this kind of person! ! !
No one heard Snow Chicken’s inner cry, and the soldiers guarded Lei Wen desperately!
The sound of piercing the sky was getting closer and closer, allowing the soldiers to clearly see the tip of the arrow flashing with cold light.
Once it falls, Raven can survive, but they will definitely suffer heavy casualties!
However
Leaven spit out a syllable, and a layer of cyan light lit up on the staff.
A gust of breeze blew up, and the remaining snow and ashes on the ground were blown up, flying all over the sky.
The next moment, a fierce wind broke out with Raven as the center!
The wind element condensed into a light blue hemispherical wall, which expanded and pushed sideways with the snow and ashes. Wherever it passed, the feather arrows lost their strength and fell staggeringly. The weaker ones would be reflected by the wind. Push it back!
Crackling...
The arrows fell on the ground one after another, and occasionally a few fell on the soldiers, but they were too weak to do anything with the half-warcraft leather armor!
Snow Chicken was stunned.
The horse thieves were stunned.
Firebeard and Gangya were also stunned!
Margaret looked on, her black eyes about to pop out. She was ready to take advantage of Raven's weakness to run away, but she didn't expect that he would still hide. Such a skill!
“You, aren’t you a flame mage!?” The arrow rain just made Nancy’s face turn pale, but now she blushed slightly with excitement:
“When did you Have you learned the wind wall technique?”
Nancy jumped up and patted Raven on the shoulder: “If you hadn’t told me earlier, you almost scared me to death!”
"Okay, don't talk useless nonsense at this time." Raven missed Nancy's palm: "Everyone take precautions, Nancy, Margaret, clean the city wall!"
The morale of the soldiers increased.
Nancy chanted a spell in her mouth, no longer releasing second-level magic, and waved her staff to send fireballs to the city wall!
With her second-level strength and extraordinary talent, even the fireball technique in her hands showed the blazing white light that only second-level magic can have. Every time it explodes, it can kill two or three Horse thieves are wrapped in it!
The horse thieves who were caught rolled down the city wall howling.
Margaret also began to release her magic, and crows flew out of her sleeves and flew towards the city wall.
Compared with her previous majesty in the cave, she was obviously fishing.
Raven's tone was as cold as frost: "If you want to die, keep doing this."
The witch shuddered suddenly and spat bitterly. The ten skinny branches were like branches. His fingers intertwined and danced on his chest. After a low and noisy chant, a large group of crows flapped their wings and soared out, covering most of the Wengcheng wall like a black cloud.
“Ah - don’t peck me!”
"Get away, damn crow!"
"Who? Who is stabbing me!?"
Amidst the panic shouting, people screamed and fell from the city wall from time to time, and some stepped on themselves Empty, some were pushed down from above by "our own people".
Under such circumstances, with Raven's Wind Wall technique as a deterrent, the feather arrows on the city wall became increasingly sparse, and the defensive pressure on the soldiers dropped sharply, without any casualties. Seeing that the situation was getting worse, Firebeard and Gangya both looked gloomy, looking at each other and nodding at the same time.
Firebeard ordered loudly: "Open the city gate and charge!"
The sound of iron chains rubbing together sounded again, and the steel gate was slowly lifted.
Blue lightning fighting energy flowed from Gang Ya's body, making crackling sounds from time to time; Fire Beard's body ignited a layer of blazing flames.
The two of them took a deep breath at the same time, jumped off the city wall, and landed on the ground with a crash, causing large amounts of snow and dust to explode.
At the same time, the city gate also opened suddenly.
"Kill——"
With the rumbling cry of killing, a group of horse thieves poured into Wengcheng!
"Nancy, you go deal with Steel Fang; Margaret, you go get Firebeard." Raven took a deep breath and pointed the staff straight ahead:
"Charge! "
The soldiers had long been fed up with being beaten passively. They were immediately excited when they heard the order. Volav shouted loudly:
"Kill them all——"
"It's just a group of farmers!" Gangya crossed his hands, pulled out two long swords filled with electric light from his waist, and swung forward suddenly:
"Let They know who is the master of the Bloody Highlands!"
At this moment, Raven chanted a spell, the staff flew in the air, and the strong wind started again!
The wind wall advances, allowing the soldiers to charge faster and more fiercely.
The horse thieves were covered in smoke and blood foam blown up by the wind, and their speed could not help but slow down.
The soldiers suddenly collided with the horse thieves with a fierce momentum!
With the help of the wind wall technique, one fell and the other rose. It was just a moment of collision. The horse thieves were like harvested wheat, falling down in a row, and blood spurted out like a fountain. It splashed out, bringing up hot blood mist, and screams came one after another!
“Kill!!”
Flav waved his long sword, ice fighting energy wrapped around the blade, and slashed with all his strength!
This blow was blocked by the horse thief on the opposite side with his scimitar, but the cold fighting spirit still followed the inertia and rushed towards the opponent. At the same time, the huge force also pushed the scimitar and slammed into the horse thief's chest!
There was a clear sound of bone cracking. The horse thief's chest collapsed, blood spurted out of his mouth with hot air, and then he was violently thrown out and smashed into the crowd.
Vlaf roared: "Again!!!"
He has been holding it in for too long!
Not only Volaf, but all the soldiers broke out with amazing fighting power at this moment!
They are Baron Raven's personal soldiers, the true elite of Eagle Ridge.
But in this counterattack on the bloody highlands, the most difficult problems, field operations and defense, were all handed over to the first battalion!
Now, they finally have the opportunity to fight the enemy bravely. How can they let it go so easily?
They can fight too! !
As if to prove this point, the spears in the hands of the soldiers kept stabbing, and each blow was aimed at the opponent's vital points, either pushing the opponent away, or bringing up a cloud of blood. It was stable, powerful and Very rhythmic.
Long-term training and fighting experience are indispensable.
Occasionally there are horse thieves with strong personal strength and martial arts who can avoid the crowd of spears, but the crossbowmen aiming behind them will quickly teach them how to behave.
The soldiers are not equipped with enchanted crossbows, but they are equipped with flame-enchanted crossbows. There is no possibility of missing at this distance.
Once it hits, as long as it penetrates the armor, no matter where it is shot, it will ignite a large fire, roasting and burning the horse thieves alive!
The smell of blood is accompanied by the aroma of barbecue, which is so weird that it makes people feel sick to their stomachs!
Gangya gritted his teeth as he watched from behind, with a look of hatred and a hint of panic on his face.
In addition to the two of them, Heleti also recruited many scattered gangs of horse thieves, so although many people were taken away, there were not few who stayed here.
Now there are more than sixty people in Wengcheng alone!
However, the horse thieves, who were three times the size of the opponent, were retreating steadily in front of less than twenty soldiers, and the battle line continued to advance inward!
At this moment, a ball of fire came, and the steel-toothed swords were crossed and wrapped in fighting spirit and slashed forward suddenly. The blazing white flames exploded, and were neutralized and annihilated by the fighting spirit on his body!
"Damn it!" Looking at the provocative Nancy, Steel Teeth gritted his teeth and cursed.
Of course he knows that the fastest way to win this battle is to go straight to Raven and kill or control him.
However, Nancy stood on the ruins, staring at him intently. Once he tried to make a move, a fireball would fly and hit his face.
For a moment, he didn’t know whether he was holding Nancy back, or whether Nancy was holding him back!
In fact, if he really rushed forward regardless of the cost, Gang Ya was confident that he would be able to rush in front of Raven with only minor injuries.
But he is a thug hired by Horati, not a slave of Horati, so he will not risk his own life!
Firebeard has no time to be distracted. He cuts down the flying crow with one sword. At the same time, he has to beware of the curse power that rushes to him from time to time. The movement of fighting spirit cannot stop for a moment!
The two second-level extraordinary beings belonging to the horse thieves were all trapped, and with the extraordinary being Volav as an arrow, the soldiers advanced very quickly. The horse thieves dropped corpses one after another and kept shrinking the defense line. , the fighting spirit is getting weaker and weaker.
With a sweeping sweep of his sword, Volav killed the horse thief in front of him from the waist. The blood mixed with the internal organs spilled out and smeared on the face of the next horse thief!
The horse thief stopped and saw Volav's ferocious face covered in blood. He smelled the strong smell of blood and his heart trembled suddenly.
He reached out and picked off a piece of frozen intestine from his face, his pupils shrank to the size of a needle tip, and an indescribable fear rushed into his brain:
“—Help, help!!!”< br>
While wailing, the horse thief dropped his weapon, turned around and ran towards the city gate!
Under his leadership, the already very low morale of the horse thieves collapsed instantly, they dropped their weapons and fled!
When professional robbers are afraid, they are not much better than professional farmers!
Gangya swung his sword to kill a horse thief who was trying to escape, shouting hoarsely:
"Go back! Keep fighting!!!"
But this didn't work.
The horse thieves are not stupid. If they go forward to face Raven's soldiers, they will have a narrow escape. The chance of survival if they go forward is at least better!
The army was defeated like a mountain.
Steel Teeth gritted his teeth, looking at the approaching Raven soldiers, looking at Nancy and Raven whose eyes were locked on him, and swallowed in humiliation: "Firebeard... let's retreat!"
Even if Gangya didn't say anything, Firebeard had lost all will to fight, and now they hit it off immediately!
"Follow us and form an array at the gate of Wengcheng!" Seeing Firebeard and Gangya walking away, Lei Wen ordered loudly and took steps forward!
“Charge—” Volaf shouted loudly, leading his soldiers to rush out of the inner gate of the urn city!
Their morale has never been higher.
This is enough to be called a hearty victory!
Twenty to sixty, if you include those on the city wall, it is twenty to one hundred!
Although all of them were injured, none of them died in the battle, and none of them was seriously injured!
"Congratulations, Lord Baron!" Margaret was the first to come up and flatter her: "Your wind wall technique and command are simply exquisite! As long as you entangle the fire beard and steel teeth, , No one can threaten your soldiers at all!"
This sentence is not only a compliment, but also her own selfishness. Raven has seen it in the past few times, so of course she must do it now. Emphasize your importance!
Nancy also jumped down from the ruins, and she came to Raven: "How about it, I behaved well, right?"
"Okay." Raven smiled and shook his head: "Fighting is awesome. It’s not over yet!”
He knows why this battle can be won.
The unexpectedness of his own Wind Wall Technique is only one aspect, and more is due to the difference in the quality of the soldiers on both sides.
This group of soldiers is Raven's original team and has the longest training time. After the baptism of Anderson's battle, their psychological quality has also grown greatly, whether it is equipment, training, or treatment. The best one is directly matched with the captain of the Eagle Army, and they cooperate with each other tacitly and are high-spirited.
The horse thieves on the opposite side were obviously just a group of ragtag groups. Most of them did not belong to each other and fought in their own way. There was no coordination or tactics at all.
What's more, the opponent is too extraordinary to participate in the battle, but there are two magicians on Raven's side. They don't even need to take action. Just standing there can bring huge psychological pressure to the horse thieves!
But now is not the time to celebrate. The opponent has just retreated, but it has not reached the point of exhaustion.
Sure enough, when Lei Wen walked out of Wengcheng, he saw that Firebeard and Gangya had begun to gather the horse thieves who had fled before. While setting up another line of defense, they were also organizing their cronies to mount their horses.
Fighting in an open area and on the offensive side, the infantry would not have any advantage. However, after a great victory, the morale of the soldiers was strong, but the morale of the horse thieves had dropped to freezing point!
Defeat them once more and you will truly win this battle!
Not wanting to give the other party any time, Raven took a deep breath and was about to give the order when he suddenly heard footsteps coming from behind him!
Looking back, I saw a man wearing golden enchanted plate armor had jumped off the ruins of the city tower, followed by eight warriors in full armor, striding over with spears in hand.
Heleti’s eyes met Raven’s, and a sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth:
“Raven! You are so capable!”
The sharp-eyed horse thief also saw this scene, and suddenly shouted in surprise: "It's Lord Sand King!"
"Lord Sand King is back with the Scorpion Claw Guards!!"
This sentence The words immediately sparked a burst of cheers, and the morale of the horse thieves soared, even higher than before the battle!
In their opinion, as long as Lord Sand King takes action, there is no problem that cannot be solved!
“Heleti!” Margaret looked at the man walking step by step with a trace of fear in her eyes.
Third level extraordinary! There was nothing she could do about it!
"Lord Baron...let me leave, give me an order, I will go find someone for help now!!"
"Shut up!" Raven scolded sternly, but in despair The atmosphere still began to spread uncontrollably.
Flav's hand holding the sword was covered in cold sweat.
The timing of Khleti’s return is terrible!
As long as it was a little later, after they had strangled the remaining horse thieves in the Scorpion Nest, they could still use the city wall to attack Heleti with magic and crossbow arrows.
But now, Heleti led eight elites to appear behind them, making them attacked from both sides!
Once Heleti launches an attack and cooperates with Firebeard and others, then they...
They will definitely lose!
Even Nancy, who has always been fearless, became nervous:
"Raven...what are we going to do?!"
Nancy, the soldiers, the witches, and even the horse thieves.
Everyone’s eyes fell on Raven, waiting for him to make the final decision.
Hleti brandished a spear and condescendingly issued an ultimatum:
“Surrender or die.”
