One man killed nearly half of the wolf cavalry. By the time Xu Lai landed back on the ground, the mess on the top of the mountain had been cleaned up.
As soon as they landed, Xu Lai didn’t give Yan Feng, Tahan and the others a chance to apologize, and said directly and seriously:
“Stop talking nonsense, everyone immediately mounts their horses and evacuates to the west! "
Xu Lai could see clearly from the sky that the fast running wolf riders were covered with cyan light, which was obviously blessed with some kind of magic.
The effect of this spell is also very obvious. The speed of this group of wolf riders is really terrifying.
In the time it took Xu Lai to get up and down, they ran for more than a kilometer.
Seeing that they were about to reach the foot of the mountain, Xu Lai dared to waste his time.
"Lord, our horses haven't had time to gather up yet!"
The second task of the wolf cavalry is to do everything possible to entangle Xu Lai and the others and prevent Xu Lai and the others from escaping. .
Ogu Shaman's acceleration technique is still very powerful, and can increase the movement speed of Wolf Rider by 30%.
In addition, Talosi had already assigned the low-level Wolf Knights to station in two directions in the Pingfeng Mountains in advance, bringing with them all Level 7 Wolf Warriors.
The distance of 5 kilometers can be reached within two or three minutes. Even if the time required for climbing is added, the fight will definitely take place within 5 minutes.
So, in addition to arranging people to raid Xu Lai, the Wolf Cavalry general also arranged for people to raid the place where the horses rested.
As long as these war horses are driven away, Xu Lai and the others will not be able to escape even if they want to.
The two rangers guarding the war horses had been brutally killed, but what the wolf cavalry did not expect was that 13 royal griffins were lying where the war horses were resting.
With the blessing of the hero Xu Lai, the attributes of the royal griffon are even better than those of these seventh-level wolf warriors. Coupled with the unlimited counterattack ability, it is really not something that a dozen wolf cavalry can take down at the moment.
Helping, this group of wolf cavalry could only throw some props such as Molotov cocktails that had been prepared in advance.
But the war horses that Xu came here were all at the lowest level 4, and most of them were paladins. Of course, the mounts of the knights would not be driven away by some flames.
If they didn't have wolf-like claws and teeth, these tall wolf warriors might not be the opponents of these war horses.
“There is no time, all the horses that have not been collected are abandoned, no tents or anything else is needed, everyone mounts up and sets off immediately!
This is an order! "
Xu Lai roared loudly. Usually he is too tolerant, so that his military orders are not implemented properly.
But at this moment, he is not in the mood to worry about this. After using the magic scroll to leave a wall of fire on the way up the mountain and setting the tent on fire, Xu Lai hurriedly mounted his horse and galloped down the slope
Almost seconds after Xu Lai's troops left. Inside, Talosi's troops were about to rush up the hillside, but they were faced with a wall of fire blocking their way. Before that, Talosi did not dare to try the damage of the fire wall.
Waiting for him to lead the team around from both sides of the fire wall. By the time we reached the hillside, the place had been deserted, leaving only a burning tent, a war horse being chased by the flames, and a pile of remaining corpses
At a glance, they were basically the wolf riders he sent out.
Talosi's expression was stern, showing no emotion at all.
With a pointed sword, the wolf cavalry, which still had the acceleration effect, swarmed towards Xu Lai and the others.
There were wolf cavalry generals who seemed to want to ask if they wanted to collect the corpses of these wolf warriors. However, as soon as they raised their heads, they saw Talosi's cold eyes, and they all fell silent.
After being delayed by the wall of fire for a while, the Wolf Rider needed to accelerate again, but because it was downhill, it accelerated very quickly.
In less than 5 minutes, Talosi and the others had caught up with Xu Lai's troops.
We were driving at night on the Gobi ground with rocks everywhere. Except for a few people like Xu Lai who had night vision goggles, it was difficult for others to see the ground clearly.
At this point, the wolf cavalry have an advantage. Although they can't see too clearly, the orcs have the genes of the beast in their bodies, and their eyes glow green when they look at it at night.
Although both sides were carrying torches, the effectiveness of the torches was actually very low at such a high speed.
Xu Lai was the last one to leave, so he was also at the end of the team at this time.
Their morale lost in the sneak attack has not been restored, and the battle settlement has not yet come. If Talosi drags them into the battle again, the battle settlement will be even less likely to arrive.
In desperation, Xu Lai could only order everyone to charge.
Charging can increase the speed by at least 100%, and even the stamina consumption of the war horse will be greatly increased.
Once the war horse is exhausted and loses its charging skills, it will be a major blow to the knight's combat ability.
But Talosi's wolf cavalry had been attacking for a long time before, and their endurance was inherently inferior to that of war horses. Xu Lai felt that it was still worth a gamble.
The most critical issue now is not to be ambushed by the orcs again. If there is an ambush by the orcs somewhere ahead and they fail to avoid it, it will be really over.
Xu Lai thought for a while and ordered Yan Feng, who was leading the way, to move closer to Kuba City.
Below the city of Kuba, there is also Burlag's ogre army. Unless the orcs have so many troops that there is no place to put them, it is impossible to set up an ambush in this place. As for whether he would get entangled with the ogres, there was no need to worry about it. Not to mention the ogres' speed, they wouldn't be able to catch up with Xu Lai even if they were doubled.
Just say that when he arrived at Kuba City, no matter how many wolf cavalry were thrown away, you can't run but you can still grit your teeth, but your mount can't run. What else can I do if it moves?
Xu Lai didn't charge for too long. He got rid of the opponent in less than half an hour, and he was still far away.
When he took off again on the Yulan Giant Eagle, no bright light or shadow could be seen within a few kilometers.
Finding a random place, Xu Lai regrouped his troops and took a short rest.
As expected, the result was very bad. Only two of his direct knights died, but they were all resurrected by Elvi.
Other recruiting knights, including the Royal Griffin, also followed.
The rangers brought out by Yan Feng had been on guard and patrol, so there was nothing serious. The personnel and equipment were complete.
After the statistics, the only problems were those who rushed out of the tent in a hurry, and those who escaped during the retreat.
Those who ran away can be caught up in a short period of time, and Xu Lai can continue walking with him.
If they don’t know where they went, they can only ask for their own blessings.
After counting, there were three rangers who died. They were killed by the orcs who counterattacked after the Holy Light ended.
There were two others who ran away. Until Xu Lai and the others continued on their way, they were unable to return to the team and could only be treated as dead.
In addition to these 5, Xu Lai also lost a dozen marching tents, including his own luxurious tent.
Compared to the loss of personnel, a dozen marching tents are nothing at all.
As a result, Xu Lai lost more than 40 horses and some of the supplies carried by the horses.
Fortunately, the lost war horses were all lower level 4 war horses, and the supplies they carried were the food prepared by Xu Lai.
Now that Xu Lai was planning to leave the wilderness, this loss of food was nothing at all.
In the middle of the night, I took two naps on the road, once for half an hour, and twice for a total of one hour.
Finally, after the sky became dark, Xu Lai and the others arrived near Kuba City.
On this journey, as Xu Lai guessed, he did not encounter any enemies.
Only under the city of Kuba, I saw a continuous army of ogres.
These ogres were still attacking the city unhurriedly. The ogre army did not rush out, but the two sides used catapults to throw catapults at each other.
But obviously, the people in Kuba City do not have the upper hand.
Standing on the top of the mountain, Xu Lai, who possesses the intermediate eagle eye skill, can still see the situation very clearly.
The east wall, battlements and towers, as well as the arrow tower on the east side that were mainly attacked by Bolag, have all been destroyed.
Xu Lai remembered that there should be seven or eight catapults and more than twenty crossbows on this wall, but at this time, only when the orcs charged with large shields, occasionally a few thick crossbow arrows shot from Shot down from the city wall.
Obviously, the catapults had basically been destroyed in the bombardment. Only the catapults dismantled from other city walls in the city could throw some stones.
However, they are not at the top of the city, and their sights are very poor. Unless the orcs attack in a large area, it will not be easy to hit the enemy.
Borag, who had suffered heavy population losses, could no longer afford to suffer any more losses. The charging orc warriors immediately retreated after seducing the location of the enemy's city defense facilities.
Up to now, the city gate has been smashed into tatters and is in danger of being breached at any time, but Bolage has always refused to launch a general attack.
Perhaps Xu Lai's location has been locked, or Taloshi has contacted Burlage through the communication stone.
When Xu Lai appeared on the top of the mountain, Burage's attack also stopped, and the troops began to shrink and turn, as if to adjust the troops to attack in Xu Lai's direction.
Xu Lai sneered. Even if Talosi's wolf cavalry was chasing behind him, he could lead his troops to bypass the entire infantry formation of Burlage.
But the smile is a smile. Xu Lai must consider how to leave. There are interceptions in front and pursuers behind.
If he could contact Earl Aini on the other side of the grassland, he might be able to create a passage through the front and back attacks. But at this time, leaving through the Pingfeng Grassland, he could only be attacked from the front and back.
The teleportation array cannot be used, or they have to rush to the hinterland of the wilderness that is not marked on the map. There will inevitably be passages leading to the dungeon and teleportation arrays there.
Of course, the risk factor has also increased exponentially, not to mention that he is also targeted by the ogre.
Therefore, the only way he can think of to get home now is to retreat through the escape route.
In fact, since he had made up his mind to use the escape route, he did not need to run so far. He could use it directly on the top of the mountain without losing the war horses.
The fundamental reason why he ran so far was that Xu Lai couldn't convince himself. (End of this chapter)
