Outside the military camp in Qinghuang Town, eight hundred soldiers were fully armed. Allen, Antonio and others were riding horses and standing in front of the team.
It was already half an hour after Allen received the news from the Shadow Division.
Gnoll!
It is indeed a jackal!
This was Allen's first reaction after hearing Shadow Section's description of those monsters.
At that time, I guessed correctly about the murderer who massacred Yuantu Village. After causing such atrocities, these guys hid in the Black Dragon Mountains. No wonder they were difficult to find.
According to the intelligence, the number of this group of Jackals is more than 200. Those particularly tall Jackals are most likely to have the strength of knights. There are no less than 200 Jackals and those with cavalry strength. Once they are allowed to enter the Musen Territory
, the destructive power caused is huge.
Now these guys are no longer hiding in the Black Dragon Mountains, but are heading towards the Musen Territory. Fortunately, they were discovered by the Qinghuang Territory in time.
Allen has always believed in bullying those who are more powerful than others. Allen has never agreed with the fact that the protagonists in those novels, even though they have great strength, want to fight fairly with others. It is very stupid.
So this time Allen planned to lead the entire Musen Territory's 800 warriors to eliminate this group of jackals in one fell swoop.
"Lord Baron! According to the information returned from the shadows, these jackals are close to the border of the White Stone Territory. With the speed of these guys, they will appear in the White Stone Territory in half an hour, and the Gravel Village of the White Stone Territory is far away from them.
It’s only ten minutes away.”
Although the Qinghuang Leader obtained information about the Jackals half an hour ago, they also lost the specific location of the Jackals. Therefore, within half an hour, Andy cast all the shadows that the Musen Leader could now use.
In the Black Dragon Mountains around the Musen Territory, Shadow may not have strong combat effectiveness, but his tracking and lurking capabilities are indeed the strongest. In less than half an hour, Shadow once again found the specific location of the Jackal.
"Let's go now and try to get to the vicinity of Gravel Village before these jackals come out." Allen said seriously. Gravel Village is closer to Qinghuang Territory. Now all 800 warriors are matched with war horses, even those who have not broken through the cavalry.
The warriors are all matched with war horses. If they rush quickly, they should be able to arrive in time.
"Go!" Antonio shouted to the soldiers behind him.
The entire team moved accordingly. It took about twenty minutes for the Qinghuang Knights to arrive at the designated location. Under Allen's order, they lurked in secret, waiting for the arrival of the Jackal.
…
The sky was changing, the sky where the sun was originally shining gradually darkened, dark clouds were gathering, and bursts of thunder sounded in the sky above the Qinghuang Knights.
At this time, the jackals had no idea of the trap waiting for them ahead.
"Chief, it's going to rain soon. Should we stop and take shelter first?" Hank looked at the dark sky and was very unhappy.
"Keep moving forward and arrive at the Human Gravel Village first." Locke lowered his head and looked at the map in his hand.
This map was drawn by Locke when he was massacring Yuantu Village, forcing the village chief of Yuantu Village. On it is the approximate location of each village called White Stone Territory. They are not far from the gravel village marked on the map.
The reason why Locke rushed to Gravel Village without stopping to rest was because of the weather. Heavy rain could cover up their traces. Even if they plundered Gravel Village, the human lords would not be able to find their traces. The heavy rain would wash away everything.
trace.
After hearing about Gravel Village, Hank's dissatisfaction with the weather disappeared. He grinned happily and didn't ask any more questions.
The heavy rain fell as fast as it could. It didn't look like autumn rain at all, like smoke or mist. Instead, it looked like summer rain, falling violently on the soldiers of the Qinghuang Knights.
The big raindrops hit the soldiers' weapons intensively, making crisp sounds, and then gathered at the tip of the spear, falling like a trickle. The eight hundred soldiers were like statues, motionless, waiting quietly.
Allen in front did not waste the fire element to form a protective layer to withstand the heavy rain. This kind of rainy day has a big impact on the fire element knight like Allen, especially when using the element adhesion ability.
Water elemental knights will be at home in this weather.
At this time, a shadow on a war horse was gradually approaching not far away. The heavy rain swallowed up the sound of the horse's hooves. It was only when the war horse approached that an unclear sound of the horse's hooves was heard.
Shadow pulled the reins, and the horse stopped not far away.
"Tell me, Lord Baron! The enemy is only one kilometer away from here." Shadow wiped the rainwater from his face.
Allen nodded.
After Shadow reported, he rode away and continued to investigate.
Time passed quickly, but the heavy rain showed no sign of abating. The Qinghuang cavalry, who were waiting quietly, silently pulled up the crossbow strings at Antonio's instruction. Fortunately, special materials were used when constructing the crossbow arrows.
Tail feathers are not very affected by rainy days.
At this time, the Qinghuang Knights were hiding behind a slope. Although the height was not high, they were able to hide so many people from the Qinghuang Knights.
"My lord! Here we come!" Antonio said to Allen next to him.
In the distance, some dark figures appeared in front of them. Gradually, more and more figures appeared, and they were quickly approaching here.
Of course Allen, who had been staring ahead, also saw these guys.
"Get ready!" Allen raised his right arm and said in a deep voice.
The warrior behind him held the Qinghuang crossbow and spear in his hands, quietly waiting for the order to attack.
This is the first time that the Qinghuang Knights face an alien army. It is inevitable that the alien image will have an impact on the warriors. However, as long as they have experienced the first time, the warriors will definitely be able to adapt quickly. Thinking of this, Allen also let go
Removed a trace of worry in my heart.
The distance between the two parties was approaching at an extremely fast speed. Not long after, a group of jackals came to the bottom of the slope. The time was ripe.
Just listen once.
"put!"
Suddenly, bursts of shrill sounds broke through the air and reached the ears of the jackals through the dense water curtain, which was harsh to everyone amidst the noisy rain.
Before the wolf man had time to think about it, the arrows fused with the heavy rain pierced towards the wolf man.
"howl!"
"..."
The screams were covered by the sound of rain.
Although the gnolls had strong defenses thanks to their fur, they could not withstand the piercing arrows. The high-speed crossbow arrows effortlessly penetrated the fur of these gnolls and pierced into their bodies.
In an instant, more than a hundred of the two hundred Jackals fell in response. Most of them were injured but not dead. Their strong bodies gave the Jackals strong vitality. Unless the crossbow arrows penetrated their vital points, they would be difficult to kill.
"Ouch!"
Locke reacted and roared. His two-meter-high body quickly grew in size. His muscles grew rapidly and his joints grew taller, becoming a giant more than four meters tall. Several barbarian warriors also grew to three meters in height.
The little giant, with scarlet eyes, led the remaining gnoll warriors towards the slope.
