MTL - Dawn of the Grey Tower-Chapter 30 Night battle (middle)
The encounter of the companions made the morale of the knights who witnessed it all fell to the bottom almost instantly. If it was not the long-term discipline and glory as a knight that still supported them, these poor people might have fleeed.
"Shrink the formation!"
Heather also knows that this situation must improve the safety of the knights. She decided to give up a part of the outer area and make the team shrink more tightly. This can not only respond to enemy attacks more quickly, but also make soldiers feel at ease. To help stabilize the morale of the troops.
"Good at collective action, knowing to intimidate the enemy, and also use environmental advantages ..." The cheese whispered. The moment just now may be just a horror and horror picture in the eyes of others, but the mage tries to learn from this blood lesson The intelligence of the enemy was collected here.
The contracted formation is closer than before, and because the soldiers are not standing on the edge of the fire, those native ratmen who want to launch an attack will definitely expose themselves to the fire. Once they lose their suddenness, their emotions have been gained. Stable knights have a high probability of counterattack. However, it seems to be aware that the situation is not conducive to himself, and those native ratmen have not attacked the people in the firelight. It seems that the two sides are facing off.
While everyone was waiting for the Ratman's second attack, Heather suddenly thought of something, and the knight exclaimed loudly.
"Oops! Warhorse!"
In order to control the size of the camp, the knights had to tie their mounts to the nearby open space. Although they also put torches near the horses when the night fell, the tethered horses were undoubtedly these ratmen The best goal when you can't start with humans. It seems to be to confirm Heather's exclaim, the flames on the torches near the horses not far away are extinguished like a candle in a strong wind with a blast of air. The horses' hissing sounds, weird roars, horseshoes stomping the ground, and all kinds of chaotic sounds began to come from the darkness. Needless to know, those horses must have been attacked by native ratmen.
"One, two, three teams bring me torches and follow me!"
With a torch in hand, Heather carried the sword and rushed toward the horse. If the previous loss of a knight was an unexpected loss due to strangeness to the opponent, the female knight knows that once the mount is lost here, not to mention the source of the plague, I am afraid that it will be very difficult to get out of the Earl's collar. These war horses must not fall into the hands of the Ratmen.
Fortunately, the Hammer Knights is a battle-hardened force. Although the knights still carry fear of unknown enemies, the command of the knight still makes them act. A total of fifteen knights from the three teams lit the spare torches in their hands and followed Heather into the darkness. The remaining knights quickly replaced their gaps, protecting everyone from the darkness's only reliance, the campfire in the middle of the camp.
As Heather led the knights to the warhorse, the noise near the horse quickly became quiet. In addition to the cries of the warhorse and the sound of the horseshoe stomping the ground, the ratmen once again hid in the darkness. The knights quickly rushed to the mount. Fortunately, perhaps the ratmen were not good at dealing with large animals such as horses. These war horses did not suffer any harm other than being scared. They really didn't hurt a bit, it was like ... like no one wanted to hurt these war horses at all.
"Oops! It's a trap!" Almost at the moment when the war horse was injured, Heather realized what tricks the native ratmen were playing. However, it was too late.
Sudden attack from the dark, from the camp to the opposite side of the war horse, these native ratmen jumped from the darkness in the distance to the top of the target like a large fleas, and the black shadows threatened their opponents. It also blocked the opponent's vision, so that he could not see other ratmen approaching from the ground.
"Enemies ... uh ..." The first attacked knight tried to use a sword to cut the ratmen approaching from above his head, but his sword was only halfway through, and a cold shock came from him. The position of the chest came, and the knight lowered his head innocently, looking at the wooden tenon inserted into his chest, his eyes filled with blankness.
"Damn, be careful! These guys will throw spears!" Jack, who lives in the middle of the line, saw a wooden object that penetrated the knight's body. In theory, no matter how humans throw it, the wooden spikes cannot pierce the armor, but this One scene happened, which only shows that the arm strength of those native ratmen is probably far beyond the scope of common sense.
The knights who heard the warning immediately changed their tactics. They gave up their two-handed swords, and instead removed the one-handed knight shield from behind. The shield slammed into the enemy, so they had more energy to guard against wooden spears thrown from the dark.
Unlike the previous temptation, this time these native ratmen seem to want to use the gap between Heather and them not to quickly kill the humans around the campfire. These deformed monsters completely changed their cowardly look, they screamed , Attacking the defending fighters with fangs and claws.
"No, there are too many of these guys!" Use long bows to separate the paws of the ratmen. Without saying "monkey", everyone can feel that the number of ratmen entering the battlefield far exceeds the previously estimated number. .
"Good guys, these monsters are counting us from the beginning!" An axe split the head of a squirrel, and Mona can't care whether these guys still have the possibility of being cured at this time. The battle has become a thorough **** battle. The human side must guard the bonfire under the attack of an unknown number of savages, and there is no possibility of escaping halfway.
Elsa kicked off the ratman rushing towards the cheese. She glanced back and glanced at the half-kneeling cheesecaster. The proprietress at this time only hoped that Hahn did not stay in the camp of Tianshui Town. Finally, as the last syllable in the mouth of the cheese was finished, the mage ’s eyes gleamed with a strong dark green light. When he raised his head, countless vines also emerged with his eyes, and they just stood. The feet of the Ratman on the ground are tied tightly. The magic of the mage has once again achieved amazing results. Those native ratmen are completely unable to understand why their feet are caught by the vines, and the knights who have experienced battles will naturally not miss this opportunity, and there will be no fewer than ten rats in a moment. People were killed.
"Squeak!" The harsh screams came from Heather's direction, and the head horsewoman who had taken the tune away from the mountain finally couldn't care about so much ~ www.novelbuddy.com ~ I saw that she was already riding at this time Immediately, the knight's sword in his hands carried out the anger to kill the ratmen outside the camp one by one. The rest of the knights also learned something. They used the weight and speed of the war horses to charge at the edge of the fire, rushing away the ratmen who did not have time to react.
Seeing the situation on the battlefield seemed to return to the human side, there was a sharp cry in the darkness, and the sound of breaking the sky followed.
"Be careful about throwing a spear!" Jack's vision once again discovered the enemy's intentions in advance. With his warning, the knights guarded the shield in front of them to defend against the wooden tenon from the ratmen.
However, it turns out that although the knights can defend the wooden spears thrown by the shield, the war horses they sit on will not work. The armor stomach removed for the purpose of restoring horsepower has not yet had time to put on the war horses. These huge target horses have become rats The best target for a spearman.
"Poof!" With a muffled sound, the horses shot by the wooden spear fell in mourning and fell down, even with the knight who carried them on their backs. Except for a few well-equipped knights who jumped off the horse's back in advance, most of the knights were unluckyly crushed by their own horses, and some even had their leg bones crushed directly.
"Rescue the wounded!" Heather successfully escaped the wooden spear attack with his superb skills, but the fifteen knights did not have such good luck. With her glance, at least six or seven knights were killed 'S mount was held down and could not move. At this time, the horse's large and heavy body becomes a burden. At least two people are required to cooperate to lift the horse, and a third person will drag the injured person out of the horse. During this period, four people including the injured person There is no way to defend against the enemy's attack, and the human side of the whole battle situation once again fell into passiveness.
