0173 The real fight
In the stucco village, the men from Hanfeng City were slowly leaving the camp. The city lord Corenfil stood in front of the team with long legs and looked back and watched. There was a team of about fifty people following him.
A wizard in a golden robe was casting a spell and summoned a fierce lion from the shadow world as a mount. His servants provided the lion with a seat cushion for the owner to ride comfortably.
The 'Alchemy Chief' Fabrow took out a statue from his pocket, cast the spell and enlarged it into a mechanical beast to serve as a tool for transportation. The golden robe wizard smiled and said, "My Lord Fabrow, I heard that you suffered a lot of losses last time?"
Fabro's face sank coldly, "Half Moltke, I heard that as the 'prophetic chief' of Hanfeng City, you rashly sent your demon pet to the evil nest to investigate. As a result, the demon pet died and he was also permanently injured. "
The golden robe wizard suddenly looked gloomy and stared at Fabro towards the long-legged city lord. A paladin wearing full armor came up and whispered: "Master Moltke, don't make trouble. We are here to fight against evil, not to fight intra-fight."
The wizard of golden robe was still hated, but he could only change the topic and said: "Do you think those greedy guys are reliable?"
The words refer to the adventurers who followed the long-legged city lord. Their armor was damaged and their image was in a mess, but they danced forehandedly as if the city lord was repeatedly emphasizing something.
These guys came from Harmony Village and were said to have found a feasible path to the elves ruins. They first sold this information to Victor Hugo for a thousand gold coins, then went to the Plaster Village and sold it to the forces of Hanfeng City again.
The full-armored paladin also stared at the adventurers and said in a deep voice: "I have detected them, they are all evil people, but they have not lie. They have provided a lot of information about the Harmony Village, and I keep my promise and do not punish them.
Victor Hugo got the news a day in advance that he had led a team out of his lair and was heading towards the elves ruins. The long-legged city lord decided to chase after him and join the battle for the ruins."
Yinye City is in the Black Forest, and the map given by Zhou Qingfeng also indicates its location. However, there is no feasible road in the vast Black Forest, and I don’t know what dangers are along the way.
Harmony Village has been established for three months, and the news of the discovery of the elves has long spread throughout the north. Zhou Qingfeng tried every means to provide logistical and survival guides for various adventurers who flocked to the crowd, so that many lucky guys can make a fortune.
The migrant population pouring into the Black Forest has exceeded 50,000, but the number of migrant population in Harmony Village is rarely more than 500. Although this has relieved the pressure on the village to take over, the cruel reality behind this is that many people who go to explore have not been able to come back.
Fabro brought a dozen people in, but only five or six people came out for a month. This is why Zhou Qingfeng was unwilling to explore the elves ruins and wanted to know the correct path to the elves ruins, so he had to rely on human lives to try and make mistakes.
Zhou Qingfeng has a Harmony Village and a "Holy Light Information Network". He is the one who is most informed in the Harmony Village. After three months of tossing and sacrificed the lives of a large number of adventurers, finally the crude information leading to the core area was depicted.
A real battle has officially begun.
The wizard of golden robe said: "The Forest Spirit also confirmed the news to me. Victor Hugo left his lair and was heading towards the ruins of the elf. Powell seemed to be with him and should not be dead yet, but he just didn't know the specific situation."
The full-armored paladin nodded, "This is an opportunity. We can cooperate with the Lord of Long Legs to attack him halfway and solve this tricky target."
The wizard of golden robe had no objection to this, so the plan was decided.
At the same time, Zhou Qingfeng's team was entering the depths of the black forest where the road was difficult to walk. The undulating woodland was filled with thick fog that blocked the view, and fatal danger was hidden in the bushes and shrubs.
On the twisted trunk, a blood-sucking vine slowly drooped. The spikes on the vine were waiting for the prey to fall into the trap. However, this time the prey approached noticed this dangerous monster in advance.
Xili raised her bow and arrow and was about to shoot, but the 'Bloody Pastor' came up and stopped her and said, "Don't shoot, let me do it. The blood-sucking vine is both an animal and a plant. Its vineyard is special for many diseases. Don't miss it if you encounter it."
Justen took several assistants and walked forward to perform magic tricks, trying to capture the rare blood-sucking vine. The blood-sucking vine sensed danger and quickly shrank back. It kept shaking its vine and squeaking strange sounds came.
"It is summoning symbiosis," Justen shouted, "Please be aware of the surroundings. The symbiosis of the blood-sucking vine is likely to be some gnolls who protect each other and assist in symbiosis."
Zhou Qingfeng raised his hand, and the entire team stopped slowly, silently forming a formation that covers each other. In the quiet woods, he did not need to speak, and could communicate and command with other people in the team by relying on the information network.
It takes some time to capture the blood-sucking vine, a rare creature that is very deadly when hiding. But it moves slowly and is almost impossible to escape once it is discovered. At this moment, it is entrenched on several tree trunks and constantly waving the vine to resist the imprisonment force exerted by the magic.
As the rattan whips, chaotic footsteps sounded from far to near. Zhou Qingfeng closed his eyes, and the "listening" ability brought by the constant law is better than vision. He can clearly judge the number and direction of the attacker.
"Don't move, let my personal guard try it." Zhou Qingfeng said in the information network.
The clown Adrian jumped back from the periphery of the team and reminded cautiously: "On Lord Hugo, there is a group of zombies outside, with more than twenty. They are equipped with a lot of crude bows and arrows and are trying to surround us."
"Rise the shield." Zhou Qingfeng did not change his mind, "The guards move forward, I hope each of you will kill at least one werewolves."
Others didn't speak for Zhou Qingfeng's insistence. But those who are familiar with the jungle know that wolf-headed and human-body gigolos are difficult to deal with. They are tall, strong, more cruel, more cunning, and much more difficult than the same number of goblins.
Powell stayed in the middle of the team and questioned Zhou Qingfeng's orders in his heart. As a sparring coach, although he had admitted that "Hugo" had made rapid progress, the rookies' personal guards had received training for less than a month and their combat effectiveness was quite limited.
His assessment in his heart was, "Twenty werewolves could blow all the rookies with just one impact."
The selected rookie guards resolutely carried out Zhou Qingfeng's orders. They held swords and shields in hand, formed a semicircular array, slowly stepped forward, forming a conspicuous protrusion in the team.
The brain of every rookie's guard is connected to the information network. With the help of Zhou Qingfeng and others' investigation, they vaguely determine the position of the enemy opposite him.
A sword and shield hand stared at the thick fog in front of him, and his breathing became faster and faster. He could not see the situation opposite, but Sophia in the information network repeatedly told him that there were two zombies in the thick fog, waiting to launch a surprise attack on him.
The leading sword and shield hand was only seventeen years old and was an armed servant. His original job was to follow a master of adventurers to fight a battle with his enemies and never face the enemy directly.
Lack of training and less clothing and food, there is no courage. Just because he is taller, he was selected into Zhou Qingfeng's personal guard. After training for more than half a month, he now wants to prove that he has the power to fight.
"Calm down and don't panic. Do whatever you should do on the training ground and do what you should do now." With the help of information links, Sophia controls the entire guard team overall. She inspires every rookie team and allows them to perform their due combat level.
Whoosh, a bone arrow shot out from the thick fog.
This was like a signal, followed by a dozen bone arrows and shot out continuously. One wave after another, the rookie guards who came forward faced the dense rain of arrows, quickly raised their shields and shrank their heads to cover each other.
The sound of Duoduo's arrows sounded, and the rookies' guards could feel that the shield-holding arms were constantly hit, and even more and more difficult. The leading sword and shield hands even felt that the shield was hit continuously, and the weight increased greatly, and the arms could not be grasped.
It's the gnoll's short javelin!
This is a common way for jungle monsters to deal with human shield formations. They will first have a rain of arrows and then throw heavy short javelins. Even if they cannot break the human shield, it can make the shield-held human warriors very difficult, and their defenses will be exposed.
"Xi Li." Zhou Qingfeng shouted. Several archery arrows immediately shot out beside him, and they squirted into the thick fog. Then a scream came out, and soon everyone heard the roar of the werewolf.
Those human-shaped beasts rushed out.
The short javelin weighs more than ten pounds, and the front sword and the front shield hit three in a row, which was very difficult to grasp. The shield was lowered and his head was exposed. Just as he felt like he was about to be shot to death, two zombies jumped out of the thick fog opposite and smashed them with bone sticks.
