The scouts in the forest crossed the river one after another, and news about all aspects of Knight Pallas's army also came back. Brando's young mage attendant Charles was currently wearing a robe and standing on the sentry tower with a staff, while speaking to
Beifang looked far into the distance, then turned back to behind him and said: "The attrition is more serious than imagined. The battle loss rate of the scouts sent to the north is more than 40 to 50%. These are experienced veterans. Within three days, we
At least fifty people were lost, and three times as many were wounded."
At the end, he added: "If I were a lord, if this continued, I would just pack up and run away."
"So you are not the lord." The elf princess wearing silver armor glanced at him and replied calmly. Medisa wore the unique pointed helmet of the silver elf, wrapped her small face in it, and pursed her lips tightly
Yes, he looks very heroic.
"He wants to clean up our scouts. Is there any conspiracy?"
"Probably not. It's purely because Pallas knows we have cavemen on our hands and he doesn't want to be attacked on the flanks during the battle. He doesn't want to make the same mistake as Sir Mintai did." Medisha replied.
"It's really difficult to deal with." Charles shook his head, his brows almost knitted together: "I don't know if it can last three days."
Jean Denel's army has arrived——
"There's someone in the forest!"
The first reflection appeared in the forest, and a knight in armor appeared in the forest on the other side of the river. Then, more troops appeared behind him. The knight plunged the flagpole in his hand into the soft soil of the river bank under his feet.
In the middle, a heraldic flag with a sky blue background unfolds in the wind.
Coat of arms of the Hound of Pallas.
"There are also things in the north and east...!"
"many."
Soldiers wearing red and blue shirts filed out of the forest, numbering no less than a thousand. "Are they preparing to attack the city?" Charles saw an archer shooting an arrow from a distance towards the Gris River.
There were about fifty steps left before the earthen wall fell weakly on the river beach, and he turned around and asked.
Medisa shook her head. The other party was just measuring the distance. They might make a tentative attack, but they should observe it for a while before that.
As the youngest princess of the Silver Elf, Medissa has actually experienced no less wars than other tribesmen. Far from making her feel nervous, the atmosphere before the war felt familiar and cordial, but there were too few enemies.
There were too few enemies. The silver elf girl shook her head.
Medissa did not expect it wrong. At this moment, on a hill a thousand meters away, Pallas stood on horseback like a sharp sword. Grudin's most trusted retainer was surrounded by knights, holding his hand
Pressing the hilt of the sword, the gaze in the deep-set eyes was as sharp as an eagle as it patrolled the distant river bank.
Pallas is the eldest among all Grudin's retainers. Although he has a personal relationship with Sir Mintai, their ages are quite different. Sir Mintai is in his prime, but Pallas already has two temples.
Gray. This old knight can be said to have experienced hundreds of battles. Although his reputation cannot be spread as far as Amperesel and Butchi, he can still make children cry among the barbarian mountain people of Tonigel.
Role.
The crossing of the Gris River was right in front of him, and Pallas had been there once or twice before. He remembered that there was a flat meadow on the other side of the river, but the scenery he saw now made him suspect that he had become dim-sighted - the lush forest separated the crossing.
Completely covered, only the shoal extending from the woods on the other side to the river mouth proved that they were in the right place. This was the season when the water level of the Gris River was at its lowest. Even infantrymen could wade through the icy river water and cross the river from the shoal of Gris Ferry.
. There seemed to be fortifications built in the forest in the distance, and the sentry towers standing in the canopy could prove this - but when did there become a forest here? Pallas remembered that the last time he came here was only two or three years ago.
But the forest on the other side doesn't look like it can grow in two or three years.
These towering ancient trees require at least two or three people to hug each other. They are more than ten meters high. They may not be able to grow like this in twenty or thirty years, let alone two or three years.
"There is a fortress on the other side of the river, and the sentry said he saw an earthen wall. This forest at least shows that the rumors that there are druids working for the rebels are true." An adjutant beside Pallas said.
"Druids have a way to make the woods look like this in a short period of time? Are these illusions or woods transplanted from elsewhere?" Pallas saw the forest in front of him, which was clearly a primitive forest. Yi
It is difficult to defend and attack. It would be incredible if a druid had such an ability. Even if this forest was transplanted from elsewhere, it would not be easy to survive in a short period of time. Although it is not that he has never seen magic, it is
Most spells cast by wizards are fleeting and powerful, but not unacceptable.
But this forest was right in front of them. It stretched for at least ten miles, and was actually presented before their eyes. It was neither an illusion nor an illusion.
The knights around them remained silent. Druids were a mysterious group, and no one could tell what they could do. In most legends, it was even unclear whether Druids could cast spells.
One theory says that druids are good at taming animals to fight for them, and another theory says that druids will transform into powerful animals to fight, just like lycanthropes.
However, Pallas quickly called the mage who accompanied the army to explain the problem to them. The older wizard was also shocked when he heard that the forest in front of him appeared out of thin air. Druids can speed up plants.
Growing, but definitely not as powerful.
The fact that the opponent can create such a large forest in a short period of time either means that the opponent has an amazing number of druids. Or it means that the druids working for the opponent are at least at the level of the Druid Masters of the Ring of the Sky. Druids
Master Yi is almost the same as the mage leader of the Silver Alliance. To say that there are such people under Brando, Pallas does not believe it, so he asked: "If you want to create such a forest in a few months, how many virtues will be needed?"
Rui?"
"How many months!?" The wizard screamed and almost turned around and left: "How many months can you create such a forest? It requires at least thousands of people to cast spells together."
"Thousands of people? This is impossible. The rebels don't have a few thousand people in total." A knight retorted.
"Then it means that the opponent has a master druid in his hand, or a ring composed of thirty great druids. The ring is the unit used by the druids. A ring composed of thirty great druids
It is no less than a real army." The wizard replied gloomily.
"This is not right. If the other party is so strong, why do they still sit here and wait to be killed?"
"Is it possible that this forest is an illusion?" Pallas interrupted the argument and asked with his little knowledge of magic. The wizard actually thought of this, but before he could speak, the adjutant beside him shook his head.
Shake his head.
"Our soldiers have tried it. At least all the above are true."
"It's more than ten miles along the river, but the previous ones are no longer simple." After hearing this, the wizard shook his head.
"Can I attack with fire?" someone asked.
"There are so many druids on the other side, they can be easily extinguished even with fire attacks. Don't forget, they are the guardians of the forest and are much more skilled in dealing with fire than you." The wizard replied.
"In short, let's try it first anyway," Pallas made the decision calmly: "Let the soldiers prepare rockets and conduct a trial attack. No matter whether it succeeds or not, we will camp in place and let the knights led by the grizzly bears
Get ready to start cutting down trees."
…
Jean Denel's army has moved.
A row of soldiers emerged from the forest, wearing gray-green war robes, holding shields and swords on their waists. The three rows behind held up halberds, with long gray pennants hanging from the tips of the spears.
There are three connected knights' territories north of Tonigel. Pallas's family emblem is a hound, Raleigh's family emblem is a grizzly bear, and Cruz's family emblem is a silver full moon, so at this moment, the soldiers opposite
The flag was raised with a full moon on it.
"I thought such a large forest behind would scare them." Charles shook his head. Although the druids contributed precious magic seeds and worked almost day and night to complete this line of defense, it was still too late in time.
In fact, this forest is only a real virgin forest for a distance from the fortress, and the rest of it was created by him alone using illusions.
The soldiers from the Cruz Territory moved forward slowly. Behind them on both sides were a large group of barbarian mountain people in ragged clothes, thick leather armor, and armed with sharp axes and bucklers. The three armies slowly waded across the river from the shallows.
, we were approaching Gris Ferry.
"What do you say, Lord?" Ciel raised his hand and was about to give an order.
"'They're just some noble shield-bearing infantry and halberdiers who don't even have Tier 1 arms. You can just deal with them casually. Do you need to ask me for instructions? Stupid!'" Medissa imitated Brando's tone.
replied.
"Level 1 unit? What is that?" Charles' eyebrows almost knitted together. As a lord, he always seemed to like to say strange things. What kind of lv up did he wear when he was at Lidenburg last time?
He still hasn't figured out the theory yet. What is this level 1 unit now?
But at this time, he had no time to think so much, because Cruz's infantry rear row allowed Denel's archers to come out row after row. These professionally trained longbowmen were all elites under Pallas.
.They held long bows and used arrows to draw a ditch on the ground. They untied the leather bags around their waists and poured the liquid inside into the ditch.
A fire dragon ignited in the forest. At this moment, the human soldiers had already raised their long bows, and the long bows were equipped with burning long arrows. With a command in the forest, the bowstrings trembled in unison - the next moment, in the forest,
Almost everyone saw a fire cloud flying into the sky, turning the sky into blood red, and then the fire cloud stopped at the highest point and crashed down.
"Rocket!"
Accompanied by a scream, the rocket whirred and slammed into the forest. Fortunately, the trees were extremely dense, and most of the arrows were blocked by the branches of the tree crown. Only a few fell into the mercenary camp through the gaps.
among.
The rocket caused almost no direct damage, but Pallas, who was watching the battle from a distance, had almost no expression on his face. He was waiting for the subsequent effects, which he would see soon.
The longbowmen are raising their longbows, and the second wave of rockets is already on the string.
