"Three hunters made a mess of the camp and burned half of the supplies and food. Hmph..."
While walking on the road to Snow Rock Castle, Rhodes couldn't help but laugh at himself. But Diego denied such a statement.
"They are not ordinary hunters. Wood Elf Pathfinders have been wandering and patrolling in the forest for many years. They can hunt prey several times larger than themselves. If the manticore you encountered before had fought against her, he might not have survived more than ten years.
minute."
Diego explained.
"So she is much stronger than I was back then?"
Rhodes turned around and asked.
"Isn't it? Compared to your original 'legendary' story, her story may be more legendary than yours." Diego replied, "If you think about it, how long can we humans live? How long can they live? From the outside,
Elves who were only in their twenties may have lived for hundreds or thousands of years. During this long period of time, they had plenty of time to hone their skills and abilities. Therefore, needless to say three, one such wood elf is enough.
We've had it."
"I would like to know, if it is really the nobles of Erengrad who hired them, then how much is the commission?"
Rhodes muttered to himself.
"The price is estimated to be astronomical. A price that neither you nor I can imagine. But the nobles of Erengrad are rich. As an outsider, I know that in your country, the economic center is not the city of Kislev, but Erengrad.
These nobles have nothing but the most money. When the city is destroyed, I should go and make a fortune."
Diego laughed and said that although witch hunters don't like money, they often have to do things without using money, so how to make money is also a science. And making money out of chaos is definitely the most common method.
And Rhodes thought of the appearance of the missing guest, who was simply not too beautiful...the perfect body and face...the deft movements and the cool green leaf skirt...compared to the most beautiful girl in the human world.
Even worse. It seems that the legend is true. Every elf woman is a beauty that makes human men drool. But this thought lasted for less than a minute before Rhodes woke up. This was simply a worm's head.
...a female hunter who burned down her own camp was originally an enemy... Also, it would be bad if Caroline knew that she had made eye contact with the elf girl when she was out hunting.
…
"By the gods! These beasts! They really deserve to go to hell!"
Since part of the supplies and food were burned before, the coalition forces had to collect food and hunt along the way, and arrived at Snow Rock Castle a full week later than expected before departure.
When Rhodes and his team arrived at Snow Rock Castle, the place was already surrounded by a large number of greenskins. In order to attack the city, the greenskins cut down all the woods around the castle to make their goblin catapults.
and all kinds of weird siege weapons.
Observing from the closest possible distance, Digel saw that a gap had been opened in the outer wall of his castle, but the gap had been repaired with gravel and soil. It can be guessed that the previous battles had happened, and the green skin had
They blasted open the city wall and rushed in. However, they must have been blocked by the human defenders in the city later. Explosives, hot oil, rolling stones, in short, there are many ways. After killing the greenskins, the soldiers and people are expected to quickly
The gap was filled again.
"How confident are you of charging directly? What I mean is that the cavalry charges, and the infantry follows the cavalry. They tear open the greenskin's defense line and then enter the city."
Rhodes asked.
"risky."
Palumbel frowned and answered.
"What's the risk?"
"There are also cavalry in the greenskin troops. The wolf riders will interfere with us. Once the battle line cannot be broken with one charge, my men will soon be entangled by those wolves. When engaged in hand-to-hand combat, the cavalry has no advantage at all."
Palumbel replied.
"What about positional warfare? We hold the greenskins while you outflank them?"
Edmund suggested.
"Difficult. It's still the same question. Although the greenskins are wild, they are not fools. They have wolf cavalry and wild boar cavalry, and the ones the Snow Queen gave me are light cavalry. No matter which direction they charge from, they will attract the attention of the greenskin riders.
.”
Palumbel said that in terms of qualifications, he is considered the most powerful Ugor cavalry in Kislev. But the battlefield is not decided by one person. Palumbel can rush into the enemy army by himself, kill ten, or even
Twenty green-skinned orcs and goblins, but after that, even humans, their physical strength will decline. Even humans, when they are unable to concentrate, as long as a knife is cut anywhere on the body, their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced. How many heroes are not
He died in a duel with the BOSS, but was besieged to death by countless minions. The number of people on the battlefield is not the most important, but it is also an objective factor that cannot be ignored.
"There is another way. I can lead my men to lure away some of the greenskins, and you can take the opportunity to attack. Concentrate superior forces in a short period of time and defeat them."
Palumbel came up with his own ideas.
"But the premise is that the greenskins are willing to dedicate most of their troops to chase you. But I believe it will not be easy. Your cavalry is fast enough and flexible enough. But when the orcs and goblins find that they can never catch up with you, this
The group of greenskins will quickly turn back and find a more direct opponent to fight. We may face a situation where we are attacked from both sides. Or, they don't want to chase you at all. I mean, two legs cannot catch up with four legs.
This is obvious, the greenskins are not brainless creatures, they can see that. But if it is just the wolf cavalry and wild boar orc cavalry chasing us, it will not make much sense, we still have to face a huge number of greenskin infantry."
Rhodes analyzed.
"Listen to me, this is my castle, I know how to fight."
Suddenly, Digel, the lord of Snow Rock Castle, interrupted.
"Snow Rock Castle has more than one passage to enter. There is only one passage on the ground, but there is another underground passage. I know the way. So, what I want to say is, tonight, I will take my people through that secret passage.
Go in and wait until I return to the castle. When the soldiers see that I am still alive, their morale will be high. At that time, we will use the smoke as a signal, cooperate internally and externally, and defeat the greenskins together."
"Everyone, thank you for coming to the rescue of my castle. This battle must be fought like this. The greenskins will not discover that passage. If they found it, Snow Rock Castle would have fallen long ago. I can reach the interior of the castle and regroup.
My warriors, for the victory of Kislev, wait for my signal."
He repeated it again, his voice sonorous and powerful. Rhodes just found it a little funny. When the Kislev coalition fought against the rebels and mercenaries, he had never seen Lord Digel so anxious and decisive. Now look at it.
When her castle was besieged, she instantly commanded the master, the master tactician... But this is normal. After all, people will be destroyed for their own sake, and Catalina is not so great as to make her ministers unconditionally sacrifice themselves for her. Erlen
During the Grad rebellion, the Kislev coalition forces gathered together on the surface numbered in the tens of thousands, but in fact everyone had their own agenda. They all wanted to reduce losses in the war and let others step forward to carry it...
"It's a deal, brother."
Rhodes said, extending a hand of friendship to Lord Digel. Soon, the two hands were firmly held together.
