There was a buzzing sound in the forest next to the river beach, and countless sharp thorns suddenly appeared from behind the dark green bushes. These thorns formed a translucent black wall and swept across the cobblestone-strewn river bed.
The cavemen standing at the front were immediately caught off guard and were hit - it was as if they really hit an invisible wall. The huge impact made them stagnant, and then they retreated one after another. The corpses filled with arrows looked like
It was a stone soaked in water lying motionless in the middle of the river beach.
The cavemen were stunned by the sudden rain of arrows. Those in front kept retreating, but those behind were still moving forward under the influence of huge inertia. Hundreds of people collided with each other on the river beach, and for a moment they turned into a mess.
good chance!
This idea flashed through the minds of the two mercenary captains Jutta and Fern who were hiding in the bushes. They immediately unsheathed their rapiers and giant swords, seeming to be ready to seize this opportunity to lead the charge and kill these cave dwellers in one fell swoop.
People were defeated.
But the long sword that Brando wore in the scabbard on the belt at his waist popped out at the same time. With a move of his right hand, a stream of wind pressure shot out against the ground and passed in front of the two captains with a "swipe" sound; as he moved forward,
With the sword wind, dead trees and severed leaves flew up and down in front of the two of them. Jutta and Fern took a breath and subconsciously stopped to look at the young lord.
"My lord?" Fern asked.
"Attack the formation, go to the river beach to form an array." Brando looked ahead. In his field of vision, more than fifty mercenary cavalry led by Hu Que were bypassing the river beach, preparing to charge.
"Sir, but..." The red-haired female mercenary leader looked bitterly at the cavemen cluttering in the direction of the river beach. She gritted her white teeth and said, "This opportunity is not to be missed."
"Your opponent is not a human being." Brando glanced at her and replied concisely. He raised his left hand and tapped his ear - indicating that cavemen fight in the darkness underground all year round as they rely on hearing to distinguish their surroundings.
Creatures of the environment are much more sophisticated in dealing with emergencies than fragile humans.
Even if a temporary attack causes them to be in chaos, these creatures from the Qiaogendigang underground will quickly recover, especially because the way they communicate with each other relies on the same sound wave, which is better than humans relying on flags in the chaos.
It is much faster and more efficient to identify the team and direction.
In the game, the cavemen's "confused time by surprise attack" is much shorter than that of most creatures forming an army, only one round. The worst performer in this regard is the goblin, who can hardly reorganize once the formation is out of order. The best is
Undead, there is no such thing as surprise and panic.
For such a creature, only an extremely good army can seize the short-term opportunity. And these mercenaries, in Brando's opinion, were eliminated at the first opportunity.
The two captains looked at each other, seemingly unconvinced, but at this moment Kerenthia pulled out her long sword and walked between them. "Listen to your lord," the middle-aged man with silver-haired shawls looked at the river beach.
The caveman keenly sensed something unusual and replied: "In terms of experience in dealing with these monsters, we are not as good as the lord."
Brando was slightly startled. He glanced at this guy and saw some kind of ambition hidden in his silver eyes. But he smiled in his heart and didn't care what the three leaders wanted to do by following him at the moment.
Because as long as there is such expectation, there will naturally be a time when one gives in.
"As long as you understand, I don't have any extra time to explain," he put down the tip of his sword and replied, "Then execute my order." After saying that, Brando turned around and faced the direction of the river beach.
The three captains fell silent. "Where are you, sir?" But Yuta, the female mercenary captain whose red hair seemed to be on fire, asked a little uneasily. In her opinion, she still didn't quite understand why this young man did so.
They must fight those cavemen head-on.
Those were more than two hundred, or even close to three hundred troops from the Qiaogendigang underground. Even the 500-member army of the Eruin Southern Army, which was formally organized here, dare not say that they can block the opponent from the front.
Impact - not to mention the scattered mercenaries they have.
"I already have a goal." Brando replied looking in the direction of the river beach.
Where--
Huque and his cavalry were charging towards the more than thirty cavemen and bugbears, with the sound of horse hooves rumbling along the river beach - and the cavemen seemed to want to turn around to deal with these new enemies, but
At this time, the two holy archangels controlled by Brando completely removed their disguises. They spread their wings of light to entangle these enemies from behind. The battle on the river beach suddenly became inseparable. The two completely let go of their strength.
The Archangel and the three Bugbears, who were at the peak of Black Iron and had nearly silver strength, were almost evenly matched. However, under the entanglement of many cavemen, it was difficult to gain the upper hand.
But this situation soon changed, because Brando had put down his sword and launched a charge. The young man shot out of the forest like a sharp arrow, and when he first landed on the river beach, he had already shortened the distance from the battlefield by half.
, and when he jumped up again with his feet on the ground, he was like a ghost that had shot into the cavemen.
In the eyes of the mercenary who put down his crossbow and walked out of the forest at that moment, his young lord seemed to turn into a wandering black light - when he moved forward, his black tuxedo fluttered like a cloak swaying in the wind -
—In just the blink of an eye, this flag has cut between the 'adventurers' acting as bait, the archangel, the caveman, and the bugbear.
Only then did a few cavemen react and turn around to intercept this sudden enemy, but they had just raised their weapons, but Brando had already bypassed the sword and shadow like a ghost and approached a bugbear in the center of the battlefield.
The bugbear was extremely alert. It shook its furry ears and turned its hand subconsciously. The flail in its hand waved towards Brando with a roar, but this hand was too slow in the eyes of the young man. The latter stopped and avoided the lead.
He grabbed the spiked iron ball, grabbed the cold iron chain, and flew high with the opponent's strength - then let go of his hand, and the person flipped around in mid-air and fell steadily.
It just fell on the broad and thick shoulders of the bugbear.
The entire action was completed in one go, almost in a blink of an eye. The mercenaries just blinked and saw Brando kneeling on the Bugbear's broad shoulders, stabbing the long sword into the Bugbear's throat calmly with both hands.
A bloody arrow was as dazzling as a broken flag on the river beach that afternoon.
Brando pulled out his sword, and the Bugbear let out a low wail. Its tall body shook, and then fell down. There was silence for a moment on the battlefield.
The mercenaries who saw this scene seemed to have forgotten the existence of time and the world around them at that moment. They stopped subconsciously, and the breath in their chests seemed to be bloody, hot and had a hint of legend.
However, although the people commanding them also had their eyes on that young figure, they could not forget the environment at this moment——
Fern took a step forward, cutting off the line of sight between his subordinates and Brando. He drew his giant sword forward and ordered in a deep voice: "Show speed, line up, move forward, don't let the opponent come ashore.
——”
But the leader of the Firelands Chapter turned around, and in his eyes, the cavemen had restored order at this moment.
These creatures from Qiao Gendigang seem to be able to communicate with each other through some kind of signal that spreads in the air. Under the command of only a dozen purple-red caveman warriors, these creatures were still chaotic in the previous arrow rain.
A group of monsters—the moment the mercenaries stepped out of the forest, they had already gathered, and they seemed ready to move forward again.
No more than half a minute before and after.
Only then did Fern realize what a wise decision it was for Brando to stop their charge. If they had charged, they might have faced the cavemen who had reorganized their team before they reached the river beach. However, the mercenaries who initiated the charge
But it's not that easy to stop.
If he wanted to fight against a much stronger opponent when he lost his formation, Vern didn't need to think about what his chances of winning would be.
He turned his head and saw the same frightened eyes of Kerenthia and Yutta who were maintaining order in the entire team in the middle of the battlefield and on the other side.
"Who is that young man?" Fern thought. "There are such outstanding descendants among the highland wizards and knights of Karasu. Those guys are no better than ordinary nobles."
But his thoughts returned to the battlefield, and he still felt that he was not optimistic about this confrontation. Although the young man's judgment was correct again and again, the cavemen in front of him became increasingly difficult to defeat. Even if they lined up on the river beach to wait for work,
Facing an enemy whose morale, organization and personal strength were far superior to theirs, he really couldn't believe that they could withstand even the first round of charges.
He raised his hand, and the soldiers in the first row lowered their large shields with a clatter. In the back row were soldiers and swordsmen who temporarily acted as spearmen, and professional archers and crossbowmen were reloading, but
The previous round of arrow rain had only produced few results in addition to chaos. It is hard to say how much effect it would have now. It was nothing more than psychological comfort.
Sure enough, after a wave of arrows, not more than one caveman fell down. The cavemen and the tall bugbears kept in formation and waded through the water. The sound of the rushing sound was like an approaching death march. This moment was not just a sudden death march.
Well, he clearly saw the expressions of shrinkage and hesitation on his men's faces.
I was shaken.
Less than a hundred feet away, the crossbowman fired a third round of arrows. Vern could clearly see those weak arrows hitting the bugbear's thick fur and some being bounced away. They could hardly do anything.
effect.
Fifty feet.
Yuta gritted her teeth and stood at the front of her men. She thought that although she was not strong enough, she could at least reduce the impact of the cavemen on her men - those who she called her elder sisters and whom she regarded as brothers and sisters.
.
For the first time, she felt a little regretful and wondered if she had made the wrong choice: she turned back and looked in the direction of the young man. At this moment, Brando happened to place the second bugbear, but he never looked here;
Jutta couldn't help but wonder if the other party was like other nobles and didn't care about their life or death.
Twenty feet.
Kerenthia could almost clearly see the wrinkles on the skin of the cavemen opposite. He was covered in sweat and clenched the sword in his hand.
The next moment, two armies - or not armies. In short, the mercenaries and the cavemen collided. But the result was beyond everyone's expectations.
Because at that moment, all sounds were lost on the battlefield.
