"Before this, Old One-Eye, are you really sure that Alkin can't deal with Hook and Kurosawa alone?"
The eye of the storm just now didn't look like something that ordinary people could use.
"I was very sure before, but Kurosawa turned into that ghostly look, and Iron Hook seemed to have been subdued by Altyn."
Old One Eye glanced at Ai Lan with some shame, "He may be far stronger than me now."
"About level 10." Ai Lan suddenly knew something in her mind after hearing this.
"There may be a fierce battle next, so everyone should be mentally prepared."
There is no good choice as to where the battle will take place.
There is not even a complete clearing in the swamp, but changing the terrain is his specialty.
Ai Lan called several town residents, and then opened the Fairy Garden again, "You go inside and stay there first. I will let you out after the battle."
"I plan to place the location of the battle near the clear spring."
"Kaka, plant a forest here immediately."
Using rapid growth requires a lot of mana, but there is a magic spring in Ailan's fairy garden, which allows Kaka to forcefully plant a small forest.
In addition, Ai Lan also handed over several bottles of mana potions that he had bought from the merchant before, as well as the magic balls on Aphra's body.
"Pangolins, dig burrows in any ground nearby."
The pangolin's task is to dig out a bunch of simple pits.
These traps are of little use, they are mainly used to delay the enemy.
No one in his team has the skills to lay traps, and ordinary methods, such as inserting a few sharp wooden stakes, cannot hurt the soldiers.
If the commander leading the team has high defense, even the oily skin cannot be scratched.
"It is estimated that the number of enemies will not exceed five hundred."
"In terms of levels, they are level 1-3, and a few are level 4."
This information was naturally obtained from the mouth of Old One Eye.
It's just that this guy has been away from the swamp for a long time. The information he gives may not be accurate about how strong the Altyn tribe is now.
This is an unpredictable risk.
"Offensive has its benefits, and defense has its benefits."
If Ai Lan is still hiding in the dark, then he can slowly find out the details of the enemy, and then launch a fatal blow at the right time.
The advantage of staying safe is that you can relax and wait for work.
After a while, with Kaka's efforts, a small ironwood forest appeared in front of the clear spring.
"After drinking the magic spring water, how many more trees can I plant?"
"I couldn't plant too many, so I deliberately increased the spacing between trees."
"After consuming the magic spring, all the troops should be wrapped in it."
"enough."
Lizardmen are a very famous archer race, and their reputation for being good at shooting is only slightly worse than that of elves.
There will definitely be a large number of lizard-man shooters among the troops led by Alkin.
The purpose of this forest is to trigger the effect of the Phantom of the Forest, making it impossible for the enemy's long-range troops to target.
Since we were in a swamp, we definitely couldn't fight mobile warfare, so positional warfare was almost the only option.
Although there wasn't much that could be done, Ai Lan still directed everyone to get busy.
At least all the nearby reeds several meters high must be cleared away.
The existence of these reeds will greatly affect the shooter's accuracy.
After a few hours, all preparations were completed.
In front of the clear spring, there is an extremely abrupt ironwood forest, which makes people know that it is weird at a glance.
All of Ai Lan's troops were stationed in the woods and began to wait patiently for the enemy to appear.
They waited until dark.
When night slowly enveloped the wetland and swamp, there was a sudden rustling sound in the darkness, as if something was approaching quickly.
This was Ai Lan's first night battle in the New World. He could not estimate how much influence the darkness would have on the soldiers.
However, this impact is felt by both sides, and even the larger Altyn side will be affected even more.
After a while, the crunching sound suddenly stopped, and several lizard heads sneaked out from the reeds.
Judging from their tiptoeing, they seemed to want to do some reconnaissance in the forest.
"Brother, we have entered the shooting range."
"Don't do anything, they're just cannon fodder."
Except for Gray Crow's crow troop, Ai Lan's men all hid in the tree fortress. With the blessing of the forest phantom, the tree people turned into ordinary trees.
Altin was very sure that there were no woods near the Clear Spring. The existence of this ironwood forest was too strange.
These probing lizard men were the ones he threw out to step on the thunder.
Ai Lan didn't believe that a few ordinary soldiers could see through the intermediate camouflage skills on the tree people.
So what if he lets them into the forest? As long as he doesn't take the initiative, Altin won't be able to get any useful information.
Under Ai Lan's deliberate indulgence, several lizardmen cautiously ran into the ironwood forest, wandering around the tree men and stabbing the surrounding trees with their knives from time to time.
After a long time, the lizard people finally determined that there was nothing but trees in this forest.
"Hehehesuosuo..."
With a sound of grass stirring, a large group of lizardmen emerged from the reeds in the distance.
"He ran pretty fast."
Arkin sat on a petrified giant lizard and slowly walked out from behind the team.
"Iron Hook, One Eye has brought an outsider to seek revenge on you, don't you have any ideas?"
"The great Lord Altyn has ruled this swamp, what can I think?"
A lizard-man pirate with an iron hook on his right hand replied nonchalantly.
"snort."
As soon as he heard Tie Gou's tone, Arkin knew that he was very unconvinced with himself.
If it weren't for the lack of capable generals under his command, he would have killed this bastard with a record of evil deeds.
Just when all the lizardmen were about to walk out of the reeds, a dense rain of arrows and stones suddenly fell from the sky, flying towards their most vulnerable archer unit.
"Enemy attack!"
Arkin reacted almost instantly and raised his hand to summon a storm, which swept away most of the arrows in the air.
Through the information provided by Old One-Eye and several actions taken by Alkin, Ai Lan can basically determine that this elite shaman's talent should be the power to control the wind.
"200 level 1 lizard man warriors, 200 level 2 lizard man archers, and 100 level 3 dragon flies."
There are also a few level 4 petrified giant lizards. This is the entire team that Altin brought this time.
Lizardman Warrior [Level 1 Combat Unit]: Marine type 1st level unit, skill: Slippery Skin.
Lizardman Archer [Level 3 Combat Unit]: Marine type 2nd level unit, skill: continuous attack accuracy.
Dragonfly [Level 4 combat unit]: Marine type 3rd level unit, skills: disease attack, weakness, high speed flying.
Petrified Lizard [Level 5 Combat Unit]: Marine level 4 unit, skills: petrification attack, thick stone skin, earthbending magic, deflection.
"They are all high-level soldiers. It seems that this time Altin has brought out most of the tribe's strength."
Seeing that the sneak attack failed, Ai Lan immediately launched a fierce attack.
"Come out, tree elder."
Due to his size, Ai Lan usually does not release the tree elders.
But whenever he wants to launch a fierce attack, the tree man elders will definitely take action as soon as possible.
"Mushroom spores!"
Alkin's ability to control wind greatly restrains the spread of spores.
But this is actually a good thing, if all the energy of this shaman can be put on the tree elder.
Ai Lan was fully confident that he could eat the remaining lizardmen troops without any injuries.
"shooting!"
Arrows, ballistas, slings, fireballs, and water guns, all kinds of random long-range attacks, flew towards the Lizardmen troops.
Faced with such a chaotic offensive, Arkin was in a panic and didn't even notice that mushroom spores were floating above their heads.
However, Iron Hook is also a pirate, and he has a sensitivity to danger that is difficult for ordinary people to understand.
"Be careful, something is falling from the sky!"
Due to the darkness of night, the presence of mushroom spores is not very obvious.
Arkin was commanding the long-range troops to launch a counterattack and almost didn't notice the presence of the mushroom spores. If it hadn't been for the reminder from the iron hook, he might have been hit.
"What is this!?"
"It must be the enemy's method. Don't be careless."
Although Tie Gou was very unconvinced by Altyn, his enemy was Old One-Eye, and now was not the time for internal strife.
"Then get out of my way, Tornado Storm."
Arkin picked up the huge bone staff in his hand and struck it heavily on the ground. A violent tornado suddenly appeared in the sky.
"Go ahead and tear them apart!"
The tornado moved in response and quickly blew towards Tiemulin.
"This guy really has some tricks up his sleeve."
As expected of a high-level magician, he is much more difficult to deal with than other professions.
Ai Lan really had no means to deal with this tornado.
However, the trees themselves have the function of preventing wind, so the preparations he made before were considered to be half-measured.
I saw the tornado rushing into the iron wood forest at high speed. Unfortunately, all of Ai Lan's units were hiding in the tree fortress.
Gray Crow and his crow soldiers were placed in the rear as a reserve force.
This tornado raged through the woods until all the mana attached to it was exhausted, and finally it quietly disappeared into the air.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Altyn's melee troops all rushed to the front of Tiemulin.
Seeing that an extremely fierce hand-to-hand battle was about to begin, the lizard warrior at the front suddenly let out a scream, and then disappeared from the ground.
"what happened!"
Arkin was startled at first, and then soon discovered that the ground ahead was full of various large and small potholes.
"Disgusting little trick."
There is not even a tip of wood in these pits, which is obviously a small trick prepared by the enemy in a hurry.
"Lizardman warrior, keep charging, don't stop."
Under the shaman's order, the first-level lizardman warriors continued to charge towards Ironwood Forest despite the rain of arrows.
Pangolins have dug at least hundreds of large holes around this forest.
If you want to get through here, the best way is to use earthquakes to collapse these caves.
But obviously, Alkin is not good at using earth spells.
As a last resort, he could only use the tribe's warriors as human mats. As long as the lizard warriors filled the big hole in front, the other soldiers could rush through smoothly.
The eye of the storm has long seen the number of this group of outsiders. There are less than a hundred people.
Altin firmly believed that as long as his soldiers could rush into the forest, the victory or defeat would be announced immediately.
