The defeated kobolds returned to the camp and reported the situation in the jungle to the kobold commander. Hearing that the number of ambushers was only three, the kobold commander was shocked by the enemy's boldness.
"Were the attacking human scouts powerful noble officers?"
"The enemy's archery skills are very accurate, and the bows they use are also enchanted bows. Using only bows and arrows, the attackers severely damaged us."
Listening to the story of the defeated kobolds, the commander raised his fist fiercely and beat the kobolds who escaped.
Based on the intelligence brought by the defeated kobolds, the commander had roughly figured out the details of the battlefield. He wanted to send men to hunt down Richard and the others, but he was also worried about the enemy's archery skills.
Besides, the kobold squadron still had the task of blocking the passage, so they couldn't make up their minds for a while.
"Human beings are very cunning. If I leave the camp and go into the forest to chase the attackers, and the enemy comes to attack the camp, what should I do?
The sun is coming up soon, and the inspector will be nearby soon. Let us leave this problem to the inspector."
The kobold commander sent a few broken troops to the jungle to collect the remains of the kobolds who died in the battle, and anxiously waited for the arrival of the harpy inspector.
About an hour and a half later, a black spot appeared in the sky in the distance.
Seeing that the harpies had arrived, the kobolds stationed at the camp finally felt relieved.
"How is the enemy situation?"
The harpy had a very bad temper and asked unceremonious questions after landing at the camp.
"Last night, human scouts came to attack. Before dawn, I sent a team of soldiers into the forest to capture the enemy. They suffered serious casualties. The deputy squadron leader was killed, and six soldiers were killed together. According to the reports from the defeated troops,
According to the news, the attacking humans have enchanted bows and arrows, and their archery skills are very amazing."
The Kobold Squadron Leader used his troops very prudently. Although he suffered losses, he explained the situation last night in detail.
"Why don't you send troops to pursue the enemy? Are you afraid of the cold arrows of humans?"
Seeing the harpy asking sternly, the kobold commander explained: "Of course I'm not afraid of humans. The main task of our squadron is to block the passage.
Humans are very cunning. They sent scouts to attack the outpost last night. We captured the scouts late at night, but we were ambushed by humans and suffered losses. The enemy's situation is unknown. What if I lead a team into the jungle and humans attack the camp?
If we can't hold the camp, Commander Gunderson will kill us all.
Now that humans have detected the information about the camp, our situation is already very dangerous. I have written a letter to you and give it to Commander Gunderson, hoping that reinforcements can be dispatched as soon as possible."
"The humans on the Platos defense line are very tenacious. Although we captured four castles and broke through half of the defense line, it was difficult to annihilate the enemy in a short period of time.
Moreover, the cavalry under Baron Harden are still roaming around the periphery, holding back our wolf cavalry. Commander Gunderson sent the Walder Brigade to attack the human Baron Stopa's territory three days ago, but now there is no reinforcements available.
I will go to the direction of Baron Harden's castle and take a look. If I encounter human archers, I will eat them cruelly."
"Sir Inspector, please be careful. There is a squadron of the Wild Lions stationed at Baron Harden's castle.
This squadron has a very strong combat capability. It was once the defender of Platos Castle No. 3, participated in the defeat of the Lachmeia Brigade, and shot two harpies.
They have powerful enchanted bows and arrows in their hands. When the inspector is investigating, please be careful not to get too close."
The harpy put away the request for help from the kobold commander, raised his eyes, fluttered his wings and quickly disappeared into the sky.
Walking out of the canyon, there are dense forests on both sides of the road. Even if the harpy's vision is several times better than that of humans, it is difficult to see clearly what is happening under the canopy if they are too far away.
The three of them, Richard, were all natives of Northern Xinjiang. Ron also experienced an orc invasion war, so he would naturally be on guard against harpies when he returned.
Harpies are famous in northern Xinjiang. Every time the orcs invade, there will be harpies.
This kind of monster is the nemesis of the scouts in northern Xinjiang. If it is in a flat plain area, ordinary scouts can hardly save their lives when encountering harpies. Even in mountains and forests, many scouts die every year due to the harpy population.
middle.
If William hadn't sent him the enchanted bow, and Richard's archery skills were very good and had been upgraded to the fourth level, and he had a way to restrain the harpy, the three brothers would not have dared to take on the reconnaissance mission.
The Harpy was very fast, and since no trace of Richard and the others was found along the way, they went directly to Haden Castle.
Seeing the harpy appearing, squadron leader Diarra reacted quickly and immediately placed the enchanted bow on the city wall and loaded it with a fourth-level explosive arrow. If the harpy dared to swoop close, he would seize a fighter plane and shoot the harpy.
Harpies can restrain human scouts, and enchanted bows and explosive arrows can also restrain harpies.
In every battle in the north, many harpies were killed by exploding arrows.
Seeing three enchanted bows and arrows mounted on the city wall, the harpies did not dare to approach, so they flew back to the Platos Mountains and reported the situation in Harden Castle to the orc commander Gunderson.
After receiving intelligence near Haddon Castle, Gunderson summoned the orc officers and held a pre-war meeting.
"Collecting intelligence from all aspects, the Walder Brigade captured Vic Castle yesterday and killed the castle commander, Baron Stopa.
Human scouts attacked the Orteus squadron blocking the canyon, ambushed and shot a deputy squadron leader.
The main human force is stationed in the Castle of Baron Harden, numbering about one squadron. The city defense is relatively tight, and there should be more than ten human professionals among the defenders.
The casualties of the Platos Castle garrison exceeded 50%. Through interrogation of the prisoners, we already know that the deputy captain of the Eighth Battalion, Sally Darren, and the other deputy captain Roland Claude were killed the day before yesterday.
Seriously injured and disabled, and basically losing combat effectiveness. The Platos Castle complex can no longer support the defense line.
Two days ago, Baron Harden's cavalry attacked our logistics transport team and killed the soldiers of the Un'Goro Brigade who were responsible for transporting grain and grass. The captain of the Un'Goro Brigade died in the battle.
The Wolf Cavalry Brigade was attacked by Baron Harden last night, killing and wounding more than 130 cavalrymen."
The orc officer in charge of intelligence kept talking, allowing the orc officers present to have an overall concept.
After the intelligence officer recounted all the information received, Gunderson raised his left hand, stopped the whispers of many orcs, and said: "What are the casualties of Walder Brigade? Can we continue to fight?"
"The human resistance was very fierce. By the end of the battle, the defenders of Vic Castle had suffered more than half of the Walder Brigade's casualties.
If you need to control Vic Castle, you can only deploy one squadron of soldiers. If you abandon Vic Castle, you need to leave half a squadron of soldiers to protect the wounded, and the Wald tribe still has four squadrons that can fight."
