The torches were extinguished and it was pitch black.
Without vision, humans will inevitably feel uneasy.
Zhou Qingfeng dismounted at the ambush point and drank the night vision potion provided by Jason. The strange potion entered his stomach, and the darkness in his eyes gradually became dim and bright, and the scenery in the forest appeared hazy outlines. It was a bit like the perspective of a night vision device.
.
With the 'night vision potion', humans finally regained some disadvantage in the darkness. The ambush team was ready on the hillside by the roadside, and the personnel and horses were waiting quietly.
The reconnaissance raven flew back, and Jason reported the enemy's movements, "A troop really came from the direction of the Mortar Pit, and they were all goblins. There were thousands of them, and they crowded the entire forest road, and there were countless of them in front and behind.
100 meters.”
After confirming the enemy's incoming attack, the members of the ambush team began to adjust their breathing and heartbeat to get themselves excited so that they could enter combat status.
Goblin combat power is rubbish, but quantity makes up for quality. If they are stimulated by blood magic or the like, they can also charge bravely. If there are too many ants to bite the elephant to death, no matter how strong the adventurer is, he will have to turn around and run away - the goblin shaman is just right.
He is particularly good at this kind of rogue style.
Zhou Qingfeng was not sure how effective the ambush and harassment of a dozen adventurers would be. Anyway, attacking an army of thousands of monsters at night would definitely be like sending someone to death. But no one would know the effect without giving it a try.
While waiting, heavy breathing and footsteps came from the forest path.
Dozens of bugbears passed by on the road carrying weapons. They were scattered forward and backward within a distance of twenty or thirty meters, and they were restless.
Because the goblins were extremely vigilant in the forest, Zhou Qingfeng and others stayed dozens of meters downwind. They could not directly see their opponents, but they could feel the terrifying aura of large groups of enemies passing nearby.
When the bugbears passed, a larger team of hobgoblins followed. Jason could see clearly through the raven and informed the ambush team.
Na'er assured Zhou Qingfeng that she could make good use of the kerosene. The female druid was slowly crawling to the front of the ambush point, her body expanded rapidly, and she transformed into a giant bear.
On the road, there were noisy sounds in the cold night wind, and the strong sour smell of goblins was also heard.
The bugbears walked in front for a long distance, followed by a shuffling team of goblins that stretched for a full mile. The three hundred hobgoblins were relatively neat, but the thousands of goblins behind them were like elementary school students on an outing.
.
Zul Grayskin, as the leader of the tribe and the distinguished chief shaman, is supervising the work of the team at the moment. He rides a warg and leads the wolf-riding bodyguard to supervise the team's progress - if he doesn't do this, the entire goblin team will
It can be dragged for several miles.
The old shaman held the skeleton staff in his hand and felt a little uneasy in his heart. He was a shaman and a communicator with the ancestors. Praying every night could often get some vague hints about the future from the souls of the deceased ancestors.
This kind of reminder is often an inexplicable picture, or a vague figure. Before tonight's action, Zul Gray Skin used witchcraft to perform divination, and the results he obtained were all victories.
But at this moment, the old goblin's ears were ringing with hallucinatory whispers. The dead souls wandering in the dark forest were particularly restless tonight. They were neighing, snooping, crowding and colliding with each other, coming from all directions, making sounds that no living person could hear.
The sound of arrival.
The old goblin cannot hear these sounds, but it can sense the dead souls full of resentment and despair. The latter surround it, swimming around, as if waiting for a gluttonous feast - the fear and panic of the dying
It's their favorite food.
"What is this foreshadowing?" The old goblin was lost in thought, "I am about to win a great victory. Are the dead souls waiting to devour the enemy's soul, or is it some kind of danger?"
The closer you get to the orc stronghold, the more and more invisible dead souls appear. They are extremely fragile and have no consciousness. They are the evolution of weak souls who have nowhere to go. Whenever a tragic death or injury is about to occur, they are the most sensitive and swarm
And arrived.
Before Zul Grayskin could reach a conclusion, the goblin team at the front suddenly stopped. The noisy shouts caused by the pushing and shoving became louder and louder, attracting the attention of the old goblin shaman, "What happened in front?
What happened? Why don’t those idiots leave?”
The goblin team became crowded and the speed became slower and slower. But the team was separated by a mile, and no matter how powerful Zul Grayskin was, he couldn't figure out what was happening in front of him?
A wolf-riding guard waved his whip and drove the goblin spearman blocking the road to the side of the road. He went to the front to ask what happened. After struggling for a long time, he came back and reported, "Respectful Lord Grayskin, several people suddenly fell down on the road ahead."
A big tree blocked the road."
The road in the black forest is not easy to walk, not to mention the trees that suddenly fall down and block the road. Sometimes the road will disappear for no apparent reason. In order to climb over the big tree blocking the road, the goblin in front must slow down and the road will be congested.
But how did the Bugbear get there before?
Zul Grayskin immediately shouted sharply: "Idiot, let the team disperse quickly, don't crowd together."
The old shaman's voice only had a fearful effect, and was blown far away by the night wind. The goblins who heard his order were even more panicked, crowding and bumping into each other, for fear of provoking a green light that would kill their lives.
But at this moment, on a slope next to the road, Nal, who had transformed into a giant bear, stood proudly and let out a deafening roar in the dark night. With the huge sound, she grabbed a small bucket of kerosene at her feet and threw it onto the road.
A huddled group of goblins.
Nar was originally a big and sturdy man. After becoming a giant bear, her height was directly over 2.5 meters. Her strength was doubled and she became extremely huge. She could throw a bucket of more than ten kilograms of kerosene thirty or forty meters away.
The round wooden barrel drew a parabola in the air. When it passed the high point and was about to fall, Her Royal Highness opened the recurve bow in her hand on the slope, shot out an arrow, quickly caught up with the thrown wooden barrel, and threw it
Shoot.
The wooden barrel cracked open, and the kerosene inside was scattered like a goddess scattering flowers, covering a large area.
Zhou Qingfeng was originally worried about how to maximize the burning effect of kerosene, but he didn't expect that the adventurers around him had very mature and efficient skills. When he saw that the kerosene was blown away by the night wind, he couldn't help but cheer loudly.
Holding hands and laughing.
In the black forest, people with good archery skills can be seen everywhere. This is a basic life skill. The seemingly delicate Inisha actually has amazing archery skills. After she shot the barrel of fire oil, she quickly drew the arrow again.
string.
This time the arrow was shot with a tip wrapped in rags. The tip of the cloth was soaked in kerosene. It was ignited by lightly rubbing it with a flint. It shot towards the piece of kerosene that was slowly falling.
With a bang, there was a sudden burst of light in the darkness, and dazzling flames erupted on the entire forest road. The fire spread quickly in the wind, covering the road and the forest, frightening the goblin team on the ground, whose heads were shaking, to stand on the spot.
He stood still for only a moment, and all that fell were drops of burning kerosene. After they fell to the ground, they were like gangrene attached to the bones, and it was difficult to get rid of them - they couldn't be extinguished by beating them, and they couldn't be extinguished by rolling them. The burning high temperature brought great pain, and they would not be burned out until they were completely burned.
It won't stop.
Under the firelight, you can see goblins scurrying like ants. Even the strong bugbears will burn and scream when they get stuck. The unlucky ones right now are the hobgoblins. They immediately ran around and were completely unable to stop them.
On the hillside, Nal, who transformed into a giant bear, threw out the kerosene barrels one after another. In order to cover as many goblins as possible, she even kept changing her position. There were several accompanying adventurers following behind her to help her carry the kerosene.
bucket.
Although a large tree was temporarily used to block the road to make the goblin team as dense as possible, the opponent still had a queue of hundreds of meters from far and near. Naer ran out, and Inisha and others, who were shooting arrows to ignite the fire, followed closely.
The local elves were wailing and wailing in the flames, and the dozen or so people in the ambush were greatly boosted. The enemy's casualties were their greatest achievement and their greatest motivation.
The arson tactics will continue for a while, and Zhou Qingfeng and Todd are still on the ambush slope. The orc clapped his hands, picked up the ax, and said happily: "Victor, let's go. The situation is more serious than we thought.
All goes well, let’s go have a fight!”
From time to time, bright lights from burning oil exploded in the dark night. Todd led only a few orc warriors, but it was like he was leading a thousand troops, running down the slope with an ax in hand.
Zhou Qingfeng followed behind and moved forward together. When he saw Todd running to fight the bugbears who were coming back to kill him, and then looking at the cavalry sword in his hand that looked like a broken blade, he could only shake his head - you need heavy weapons to deal with monsters.
