The surviving kobolds were extremely panicked when they retreated, and most of them even dropped their weapons in order to escape faster. When they disappeared into the bushes amidst the gunfire, Lawrence discovered that there was only 30 short steps from the bushes to the fortifications.
The open space about 30 meters away was covered with the corpses of kobolds and their weapons and equipment.
However, everyone did not try to chase the fleeing kobolds. After all, their blocking team only had 20 people. In other words, they could use fortifications and obstacles on this flat land to teach the attacking kobolds a profound lesson. But if they entered
Fighting in the woods with a group of kobolds who are good at jungle warfare is no different than giving someone a head.
"Is the attack of those kobolds over?" an aboriginal warrior who looked like he came from a small country in the central continent asked in shock. He was wearing an armor mixed with wood and leather, and a feather-studded helmet on his head.
A crown, a steel ax and an obsidian ax that were obviously enchanted were pinned to his waist, and he was holding a rifle in his hand.
"What I mean is - whether they attacked aggressively, fought to the death, or collapsed all of a sudden, it is really not like what the kobolds did." Seeing everyone looking at him, the aboriginal warrior quickly explained. "
The city in my hometown is in the rain forest, and there are a lot of kobold tribes around it. I have been fighting them since I was 12 years old, but in all these years I have never seen such a strange kobold.
"You are right." John's voice came from the side, "I have seen many kobolds when I traveled before, and I even served as a guard in a town to withstand the attack of a kobold tribe of ten thousand people.
But I have never seen a kobold who was so brave at the beginning but then fled so neatly."
Although everyone's minds were full of doubts, they had no urge to go to the bushes to search and find out. After all, their mission was just to block here to prevent the reinforcing kobolds from attacking the large troops attacking the kobold fortress from the side.
How much you kill is not the point.
What's more, time is now on Lawrence's side. The kobold reinforcements must rush over to reinforce the fortress before it falls. As time goes by, the probability of the fortress falling will continue to increase.
Just when Lawrence and the others made up their minds to hold on to their position and bide time, the real killer weapon of the kobolds who had been hiding behind the forest was ready to move. This was a kobold sitting on a wooden carving stand, but compared with ordinary kobolds
It looks much taller than ordinary kobolds when sitting up, and stands out among the kobolds surrounding it.
"It seems that no matter whether it is a sneak attack, a strong attack or luring the enemy, it is useless." The kobold standing on the stage muttered. "The humans on the opposite side are too cautious, so we can only try to charge together.
The sacrifice will be huge, but it will be worth it for the sake of the clan."
After saying this, it stood up directly and looked to be more than twice as tall as an ordinary kobold. After standing on a platform as high as one person, the surrounding kobolds even felt that it was as majestic as a god. Some of them had just been thrown away.
The guys who escaped from the weapon directly faced it, knelt down and cried and confessed.
"Compatriots, now is our time to attack. Grab your weapons and follow me!" After shouting, the giant kobold made a gesture with his hand, and the wooden platform under his feet floated towards the forest.
It flew outside, and at the same time, several drums on the stage also sounded automatically.
At the sound of the drums, all the kobolds in the forest, whether young or old, well-equipped or empty-handed, all followed the kobold standing on the platform toward the forest with determination.
Rushed outside.
"War drum, the enemy is about to charge." As soon as the war drum sounded in the forest, the indigenous soldier who was sitting on the ground and resting immediately jumped up and shouted, "And this time the whole army is dispatched, I heard a lot of
Footsteps."
Without his reminder, others also heard the beating of drums and chaotic footsteps. So everyone immediately stood behind the parapet and raised their guns, ready to shoot.
"Ooooooow woof woof woof woof!" After a series of chaotic shouts, the first kobold holding a spear rushed out of the forest, and was shot in the head by Lawrence.
However, the death of this kobold did not scare the other kobolds. Before the body of the first kobold rushed out of the forest fell, a large group of kobolds with messy equipment rushed out of the jungle like wild dogs out of the cage.
.
I have to say that this tactic did hit Lawrence and his team's weakness, because they had too few people and it was difficult to deal with such a large number of enemies that rushed over in a very short period of time.
"It would be great if there was a machine gun." Looking at the swarming of kobolds, Lawrence now misses machine guns. If he had two machine guns in his hand to form a crossfire, such a ten-meter road would not be possible now.
These hundreds of kobolds, even if their number were multiplied by ten, would not pose any threat to the defense line.
Fortunately, both the automatic rifle in Zhu Yan's hand and the continuous rifle carried by some people had a high rate of fire under the control of the extraordinary beings, so they were able to temporarily block the kobold's crazy charge.
"Be careful with the javelin." Just as the blocking team barely blocked the charge of the kobolds, Lawrence suddenly saw a group of kobolds walking out of the edge of the woods. Each of them held a piece of wood that was sharpened and blackened at one end.
Sticks and some were carried on their backs. Seeing them holding these simple javelins and making throwing gestures, Lawrence immediately issued a warning to everyone.
Immediately, John and several warriors with shields stepped forward and raised their shields to block them, while others subconsciously turned their guns towards the kobolds who were trying to throw javelins.
"Bang, bang, bang-" "Whoosh, whoosh--" Although the kobolds took action in advance, the time and action required to throw the javelin was much longer than pulling the trigger, so both sides launched attacks almost at the same time.
Only a few of the crude javelins that were thrown in a hurry without even a metal tip were thrown onto Lawrence's position, and were easily deflected by the held shields. The other javelins were scattered here and there.
They were scattered on the parapets, on the ground, and even on some unlucky guys who attacked from the front. As a result, these unlucky guys were directly nailed to the ground by the javelins flying from behind, and screamed.
Lawrence's bullets were much more effective. With just one round of shooting, all the kobolds throwing javelins fell to the ground. But at this time, the kobolds on the front seized the gap in fire and rushed forward.
.
"Throw explosives and prepare for melee combat." Lawrence shouted. When this kind of enemy was about to get involved with him, this was the only option left.
The bombs thrown successfully cut the attacking kobold team into two sections, and then Arthur led a soldier in front and waved his weapon to cut down the kobolds trying to climb over the parapet one by one.
These kobolds who have awakened a little bit of blood are at most ordinary human warriors in terms of combat effectiveness, and there is no way they can compare with these trainee-level melee extraordinary beings. So even if the kobolds have a considerable advantage in numbers, but
They were still chopped down to the ground by the melee extraordinary beings on Lawrence's side like chopping melons and vegetables.
If this situation continues, Lawrence and the others should be able to kill the kobolds rushing into the battle line in a short time and restore the defense line, and then resume the confrontation situation just now.
But at this moment, a sound like a barking dog broke out among the kobolds, and Lawrence and the others all heard the excitement contained in this shout.
"What is this?" Lawrence, who was in the back row using a pistol to name the kobolds who rushed up, suddenly turned his attention to the jungle, and saw a huge wooden platform appearing on the edge of the woods, with a man standing on it.
