"Shrink the formation and form a battle circle!" Downton shouted, holding the Balrog's Hammer, and quickly checked the surrounding environment to familiarize himself with the terrain. This might be the battlefield later.
"Is it finally a team fight?"
Sissi pulled out her long sword Ye Yun and wiped away her previous fatigue. This was the first team battle without the protection of guards, so she was inevitably a little excited.
Tanan ran back as fast as possible, followed by Old Wolf. He did not bring a weapon, but directly pulled out the bone chopping knife from his bag.
"Your Highness, stay back!"
Perrin stayed by Sissi's side, and even though there was no order from the captain, he still released the demon servant. He had no choice but to do so. Sissi's status was too noble, and he couldn't let her get hurt.
"Follow the command and act!"
Twilight frowned and scolded her. She knew that Perrin would act on his own. There was nothing he could do about it. People from noble families were the most difficult to control.
The footsteps were approaching, but the 'enemy' did not show up, but hid behind big trees and bushes.
Although they couldn't see it, everyone knew that they were being targeted by the crossbow and were already under fire.
"It's a dwarf!"
Cindy has good eyesight and can distinguish the identity of the enemy based on the silhouette of the person.
"Wutao, protect Sissi, Twilight, if there is a battle later, you will be in charge!"
Downton arranged the task in a low voice.
"I don't need anyone to protect me."
Sissi was very dissatisfied, but unfortunately Downton completely ignored her.
"OK!"
Twilight nodded.
At the beginning of the battle, Downton, as a close combatant, is likely to stay away from the team. In the fierce fighting, the legal profession under protection has more opportunities to safely view the overall situation and command more easily. However, most of the team members are Tangton.
Suddenly, Twilight found it hard to speak, but now he took the initiative to give up the power, which made her favor him greatly.
"Fortunately, he is not the kind of man who is reluctant to share command power for the sake of face."
Twilight thought, and her confident attitude infected the whole team. The leader's calmness would boost the morale of the team.
"so cool."
Sissi envied Twilight very much. She was simply a born commander. This kind of confidence was not just bluffing, but was built through countless victories.
Twilight is a girl with a big heart, and she has already thought of several ways to break the situation.
"We are the regular army of the Dwarf Empire, mountain troops affiliated with the fifth brigade of the Ninth Legion. Who are you? What are you doing in the Gray Ridge Mountains?"
A dwarf centurion wearing leather armor came out, his big eyes staring at Downton and the others warily and fiercely, his sharp eyes seemed to be able to peel off their skin.
"We are adventurers. We go into the mountains to collect magic potions for our employers."
Downton calmly replied: "Don't be humble and don't say anything."
"The Ashes Mountain Range has been sealed off. Get out now or we will kill them." The centurion had a bad temper. "Iron Hammer, your team will send them out of the mountain."
A captain and his team members ran out and approached Downton with a crossbow. Their eyes lit up, as if they were looking at a big fish biting the hook.
These dwarves wear standard leather armor and use standard weapons, so their identities cannot be faked.
"No need to search. Send them out and return to the team as soon as possible." The centurion urged, "Act quickly."
"As you command, sir!"
The tenth captain saluted and grumpily pushed Lao Bu, telling them to leave quickly.
"What to do? Fight. Or reveal your identity?"
Sissi didn't want the adventure to end so soon, so she asked in a low voice.
"Shut up, don't talk!"
A dwarf scolded and reached out to push Sissi's butt. Perrin grabbed his hand with a snap and looked fiercely.
"Damn humans, do you want to die?"
The soldier scolded, turned his saber upside down, and was about to whip Palin.
"Stop, what did the Centurion order?" After the Centurion finished training his subordinates, he added two smiling faces and said, "I'm sorry, everyone, soldiers and civilians cannot disobey this. Please forgive me."
"Walk!"
Downton and Twilight looked at each other and gave the order to retreat.
Hutao was very disappointed, lying on the back of the empty ray, as listless as if he had been softened by the sun in the summer afternoon.
"Sir, didn't the general say that anyone who enters the Gray Ridge Mountains will be silenced?" A captain of ten men stood up and disobeyed military orders, but he would be executed.
"Are you blind? Haven't you seen that their weapons are all shining with brilliance? This proves that every weapon is at least a perfect level. Can we afford to offend an adventure group that can afford such top-notch weapons?"
The centurion rolled his eyes and cursed the idiot several times.
"Yes, especially the captain's war hammer. It's covered in orange-red light. It's simply too gorgeous." The captain secretly praised that even ordinary dwarves have a talent for forging, and they can naturally recognize the quality of weapons.
"Why are you still standing there? Send a signal to call people, call more, even the commander of the army is calling."
The centurion also wanted to keep the spoils for himself, but he still had some sense and knew that his life was more important, so he was ready to find more people to share it with.
"It's a pity. Those human girls are pretty good. If the captain comes, he will definitely have them all to himself. We probably won't even be able to touch them."
The silence order means an honest opportunity to make a fortune. No matter how many people you kill, you will not be punished by military law. But now that you have to share it with others, the soldiers are naturally unhappy.
"As expected of a regular army, they are very skillful. They are followed by people. It seems they want to wait for support and annihilate us all. If we evacuate now, are you confident in annihilating these stalkers?"
Downton muttered.
"90% sure, but the mountain troops are most accustomed to fighting in mountains, and they will soon follow the traces." Twilight frowned. There were many people in the team, and there were new people, so it was impossible to completely hide their whereabouts.
The two people murmured, but no one responded. Even the dwarf only glanced at it and stopped caring. Only Sissi was stunned and looked at the two people in astonishment.
"It's actually devil's language. You know a lot of things."
Sissi wanted to reply in devilish language, but the dwarf was nearby, so she suppressed this impulse.
"Then wait for them to come and solve it once and for all."
Downton suggested.
"I think so too."
Twilight smiled. Downton really had a connection with her. Mountain troops are good at tracking and hunting. If they extend the front line and fall into a pursuit battle, they will be at a disadvantage if they want to face the other party's pursuit in the dark. It is better to show off to the enemy.
Weak, let's have a head-on duel, which can greatly maximize the strengths and avoid the weaknesses, and weaken the dwarves' advantage.
Teams of hundreds of people kept coming. As the number of people increased, the footsteps became denser, and the forest birds flew away, making it impossible to hide their whereabouts.
Downton did not issue an attack order, obviously he wanted to wait for the other party to strike first, because this meant that the other party's troops were present, but how courageous did this have to be, he was not afraid of capsizing in the gutter?
Sissi's mind was always in a mess, and it took a lot of effort to suppress the urge to look back. Although she had a super beast demon servant on her side, who knew what the opponent's trump card was?
"Don't be nervous. We will fight later. Don't let the dragon go, or you will scare them away."
Downton reminder.
"Did you know I knew Devil's language?"
Sissi looked up in shock.
"Your expressions told me. Fortunately, these dwarves are careless. If they had been more careful, they would have discovered it earlier." In order to paralyze the dwarves, Downton sent a barrel of red wine. He asked Old Boo to drink a lot with them, otherwise
Can't distract attention.
"Any more? One more bucket!"
A soldier burped and stretched out his hand to pull Downton. Wine and forging are two indispensable things in a dwarf's life. Dwarves are known for their alcoholism throughout the continent.
"Be careful, a sneak attack is coming."
This is an open slope with sparse vegetation, which is very suitable for spreading out the front line and giving full play to superior strength. When the team reaches the middle, Twilight suddenly reminds them.
"What did you say? What sneak attack?"
The ten-capion captain was not drunk, so he stared at Twilight after hearing this.
There was no need for Twilight to answer, because with a bang, a group of magic fireworks rose into the sky and exploded like flowers.
"kill!"
The captain reacted quickly. After shouting, he drew his scimitar and slashed at Twilight's neck. The other dwarves all drew their swords and axes and slashed at the nearest magician.
Once a team fight occurs, the healing profession is the first to kill, followed by the magic system. The dwarf soldiers strictly follow this rule to launch attacks.
"Don't kill them all, keep a few as hostages!"
Downton swung his fists at the dwarves beside him. Although there was no direct contact, the dwarves who were targeted still had their femurs broken, and they screamed and knelt to the ground.
In just a blink of an eye, all the dwarves around him fell.
Su Ya killed the most, and a spear was like a rainstorm pear blossoms, poking them into a hornet's nest. After hearing Downton's words, he originally wanted to show his merit, but now he could only apologize.
"Idiot, it's because of these people that the enemy doesn't dare to shoot arrows. It's over now."
Palin glared at Su Ya. Judging from his earliest understanding of Downton's strategic intentions, he did have a few tricks up his sleeve.
The dwarf soldiers rushed out, preparing to surround and kill their comrades while they were entangled with the enemy. Unexpectedly, after running a few steps, most of the ten comrades were killed in one confrontation, and the rest lost their combat effectiveness.
"Fire the arrow!"
The commander gave the order decisively.
Phew! Phew! Phew!
The black crossbow arrows were like wasps and locusts, covering the place where Downton and his party were standing.
"All-out defense!"
The light flashed, and everyone's soul shields were fully opened. Downton also took out two tower shields as quickly as possible, blocking in front of Sissi and Juliet.
The dwarves have underground mineral veins and are good at forging, so even ordinary soldiers are equipped with crossbows, which can be said to be well-armed to the teeth.
When fighting in the mountains, this thing is definitely a killer weapon. If Downton and his team hadn't been magic users, they would have been turned into hedgehogs long ago.
"terrible."
Old Bu was sweating profusely. He had no choice but to watch the crossbow arrows being fired at him in an overwhelming manner. Anyone would be frightened.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Five crossbow arrows shot out, hitting Twilight's magic shield and directly blasting through it, continuing to fly. The shock wave overflowed and stirred up the rotten leaves and soil on the ground.
"Be careful, it's an armor-piercing bursting arrow!"
Su Ya roared. At such a close distance, there was no time to rescue him.
Sissi turned her head away, unable to bear to see Twilight's body lying on the spot. It was an armor-piercing bursting arrow worth thousands of gold coins, designed to break magic shields and known as the mage killer. Anyone who suddenly encountered such a sneak attack would not be able to stop it.
