Chapter 754
Klaus and Brandon, the two young Knights, are both serving as commanders for the first time. They are passionate and show off their skills to make things perfect.
Randal Expeditionary Army combat organization consists of 3 experienced Randal elite guards serving as officers and deputy chiefs, leading 9 spiritual warriors, equipped with 2 ferocious war dogs and 3 bear dogs as a standard squad, a total of 18 Standard squad.
They are both combatants and they can also engage in labor tasks.
Commander Klaus first asked them to cooperate with the craftsmen in the team to build temporary fortifications according to the characteristics of the surrounding terrain. The elite warrior of the Randal Family cleaned up the snow on the island and made large snow bricks. A low wall of ice and snow was built around the depression in the middle of the three small islands to enclose a Safety Sector area to prevent attackers from directly cutting into the Defensive Array. The key to the heart of the line can also allow the mobile squad to move safely and quickly between the three islands, and timely support any island that is under offensive pressure.
The two beautiful and enchanting dragon maids, Duff Dilier and Duff Greer, showed their true faces in front of everyone for the first time. They transformed into a draconian form over three meters high, spewing frost. Dragon's breath froze two low walls built with snow into solid ice walls.
Everyone was stunned. The draconian's figure is graceful and majestic, and his extraordinary power surpassed the legendary rank Knight. However, the four powerful dragon ladies regarded themselves as personal servants of His Royal Highness Randal, and obeyed their masters.
The real terrifying person is Jinyan Count. His background is deep and unmeasurable, which is simply a myth.
The core members of the Randal Family are both frightened and delighted. Pastor Dane is secretly sad. He has read the Chosen One notes in the church's collection before, and there is an ancient slate that vaguely describes Elf Race and Dragon Clan. A covenant was concluded, but I don’t know why, the covenant between the two sides broke again.
Dane now believes that this should be related to Sun Elf. The ancient Elf Race called Sun Elf the Son of God and was the common master of all elves. If the ancient Dragon Clan and the elves really had a covenant, it must be signed by Sun Elf and giant dragon, because they are both mythical creatures.
No one dared to ask the Imerson wizard to verify the origin of the Dragon Maid without His Royal Highness Randal's back, but it did not prevent everyone from giving full play to their imagination. Pastor Dane knows many ancient secrets. He is convinced that he was brought into a mythical event by Miller old man. There are dangers, opportunities, and responsibilities that the priest must shoulder. If he can bear the burden, he will surely receive feedback from the Supreme Lord.
However, since His Royal Highness Randal has a relationship with Elf Race, the incident has become extremely sensitive. Dane suspected that the four dragon maids were not only the result of witchcraft transformation, but also the background of Elf Race. This ancient race of wisdom used to be the overlord of the world. What kind of extraordinary methods are worth making a fuss about nothing, and Sun Elf is really important to them.
If Randal goes to the Endless Forest and is abducted by Elf Race, Dane feels that he will end up miserably, but he is now anxious and it will not help him, so he can only take one step at a time.
Klaus didn’t have too many ideas. After the ice and snow walls were built, he began to allocate the garrison forces on the three islands. Each island arranged four standard teams to guard and guard; the rest Six standard teams and 15 marsh dragon lizards are responsible for mobile support and are the main force in defensive operations.
The craftsmen in the team assembled 12 four-arm light ballistas. This new type of defensive weapon is Victor's masterpiece, using thorium and red sandalwood as materials, and a small amount of keel steel as camouflage. On the surface, its cost is extremely expensive, but the real manufacturing cost is actually only half of that of ordinary small ballistas. Its size and formidable power are smaller than fixed small ballistas, but it is light and flexible, with standard components. It can be mounted on a war chariot, and it can also be carried by two strong men to run around. If the light ballista malfunctions, it can be quickly repaired by replacing the standard components in time and put into battle. In terms of combat performance, the average winding time of the light four-armed ballista with a winch is 80 seconds. It can fire two iron essence crossbows in succession. The effective range is 420 meters, and the best range is 310 meters. The three-sided crossbow can easily penetrate the ogre. The leader's savage leather technique poses a real threat to the half-dragon human of the golden rank.
Klaus ordered the family warrior to use mud to build more than 20 ballista shooting platforms on each island. The guards of each island each received 3 four-arm light ballistas, and the remaining 3 The ballista was handed over to the mobile team.
In addition to light ballistas, the Expeditionary Army also prepared 60 single-use military heavy crossbows with an effective range of 350 meters and an optimal range of 230 meters. These heavy crossbows focused on one target at the same time, and the silver Knight in heavy armor had to stay away. In fact, ballistas have the best effect on huge and large targets, and military heavy crossbows are designed to kill enemies below the average size.
The half-dragon human is a medium-sized creature. The four-armed light ballista is more a psychological deterrent to them, and the military heavy crossbow is the weapon to kill them.
Klaus and Brandon spent half a day completing the camp defense, and the rest of the time was spent on perfecting the details of the defensive tactics. They waited eagerly for the enemy to come and show their skills, but the half-dragon human attacker never appeared.
On the fifth day, Imerson wizard cultivated 50 alienated rats. These ugly and weird creatures no longer looked like rats except for dragging a mouse tail. They looked more like feline beasts. It is smaller than a brindle tiger or a wild lion, but about the same size as an average 250-pound bear dog. It has a flat head and a wide, long mouth full of razor-sharp teeth.
Karigula called them "razor beasts", which was unanimously recognized by everyone.
Commander Klaus is both happy and annoyed. The 50 razor beasts are a good battle strength. They can rush out of the island with the war beast of the Randal Family, and the half-dragon human attacker Entanglement, and cover the retreat of dragon lizards, war dogs, bear dogs, and greatly reduce the loss of war beasts. However, 50 razor beasts everyday all consume a considerable amount of meat, and two fishing teams alone may not be enough to feed them. The half-dragon human has been slow to show up again, and in this way, before the battle begins, the razor beast will be overwhelmed with logistics.
Imerson can order the razor beasts to burrow to sleep and only need to feed them once a day, but this will seriously affect their battle strength. Klaus thought about it again and again, instead of using the wizard method, he sent two teams to fish on the lake to balance the logistics consumption caused by the razor beast.
Since the half-dragon human tribe is so calm, the expeditionary army hastened to plunder nearby aquatic resources, and Klaus wanted to see how long they could endure.
On the tenth day, the nearby half-dragon human finally had an unexpected conflict with a fishing team of the expeditionary army.
The fishing team repelled the attackers and immediately returned to the camp at noon. When Klaus and Brandon rushed over, they saw Pastor Dane preparing to treat a severely wounded person. The right chest of this junior warrior was hit by a half-dragon human spear, and the sharp obsidian spear tip soaked his hexapod vine leather armor, hurting his lungs, but failed to pierce the body. The wounded man sat on the chair with a calm expression. If it weren't for the large blood stains from the snout to the chest, and the holes in the breastplate, no one would believe that this okay fellow was seriously injured.
"How can I pull the spear out of my chest? Don't you want to die?" Pastor Dane shook his head and sighed, waiting for the sword maid to remove the armor of the spiritual warrior, revealing the wound that no longer bleeds, he again stared wide-eyed, and said in surprise: "This...you, do you have difficulty breathing now? Did you cough and vomit blood at that time?"
The spiritual warrior shook the head, and said with a dull expression: "I didn't feel It’s difficult to breathe. I kept coughing at the time. Just cough up the blood."
"Unbelievable...Is this a self-healing ability or a hemostatic potion? Don’t move, I will use True Vision to see you. Are there any blood clots in the lungs?" Dane exclaimed while checking the wounds for the spiritual warrior.
The elementary spiritual warrior life tenacious, has a slight self-healing ability, such a degree of penetrating injury is not enough to endanger their lives, as long as a few days of rest, the wound can recover completely, use a healing potion If so, the recovery speed will be faster.
Pastor Dane regarded the spiritual warrior's slight self-healing talent as a great discovery. Klaus did not disturb him, so he invited the captain of the fishing team to inquire about the fighting situation.
The captain is an eleven-year-old monkey militia who knows how to brief the commander. He whispered: "We are fishing on the ice of the lake 25 kilometers away from the small island Northwest. The fierce war dog was the first to warn. I sent out raven investigations as usual and found a group of half-dragon humans approaching us. We took the fish and chose to retreat, trying to avoid the swamp half-dragon human, but the other party decisively chased up. . On the lake ice 17 kilometers away from the camp, the two sides began to fight."
"There are 34 half-dragon humans, equipped with obsidian throwing spears. When sprinting at us, we dropped them. The fish caught, took the lead in blocking with a strong bow, and retreated while shooting. The range of the half-dragon human spear was not as far as the range of the strong bow. The half-dragon human hunters who rushed in front were hit by several arrows, and the sprint speed was slow. , Only a particularly strong half-dragon human rushed out of their team against the flying arrow, and threw two throwing spears at a distance of about 140 meters...Bob avoided the first throwing spear and was second. The spear pierced the right chest."
Klaus's gaze was condensed, and he was about to ask for details. Brandon walked over with the leather armor and broken spear and said, "I saw Next, the obsidian spear pierced the leather armor of the six-legged crocodile vine. It’s a finger deep...Tsk, tusk, this is a very strong force. You must know that the Dao Heart warrior is exceptionally strong, and ordinary hunting bows can’t hurt them. He is also wearing a hexapod crocodile vine leather armor...The monster's power is about the same as mine."
Klaus took over two different pieces of equipment and checked them again, nodded said : "It is a deeply violent half-dragon human warrior. If it uses iron essence to throw a spear, the spiritual warrior must be seriously injured."
Brandon interface said: "half-dragon human has dynamic vision He’s innate talent, fierce half-dragon human warrior and keen combat intuition, able to predict the opponent’s actions. It hits the spiritual warrior, I’m not surprised at all, just don’t know, its melee ability is better than the martial skill proficient How about the spiritual warrior?"
Klaus took a half of obsidian and threw a spear, frowned and said, "The weapons of half-dragon humans are too bad. There is nothing to worry about in close combat or long-range combat. I'm afraid of war. Bows can’t kill them effectively...you think, we have so many arrows, half-dragon human escaped with arrows stuck in his body, so what should I do now? "
Brandon immediately turned his head and asked the captain: "How many half-dragon humans have you shot?" "
"Maybe none of them were shot dead. I saw them pull off their arrows and retreat. "The Captain of the Monkey Militia shook his head.
Although the formidable power of the metal bows equipped by the Randal Expeditionary Force is strong, the effective range is 250 meters, and the best range is 180 meters, far surpassing that of the half-dragon human in the swamp. The spear shooting range, but the swamp half-dragon human's self-healing ability is only stronger than that of the spiritual warrior, and the lethality of the bow and arrow against the tough enemy of life is inherently limited.
The normal bow and arrow usage is Combat with step and shoot, weaken the enemy remotely with bows and arrows, and then send a shield warrior to kill the enemy frontally, so as to achieve the best tactical effect. However, the number of half-dragon humans is far more than the Randal expeditionary army, capable of covering the companions injured by the arrows. Retreat, if they bear the long-range blow of the expeditionary force, it will be a headache to deceive arrows and crossbow arrows.
Klaus suspects that half-dragon human has tasted the "sweetness" of human arrows. They really That’s how it will do!
Brandon gnashing teeth with his fist, “Send dragon lizards, war dogs, and razor beasts to chase and run away half-dragon humans. We lead the family warrior to follow suit and kill. "
Klaus nodded and said: "Then put special armor on the dragon lizard war beast and the fierce war dog..."
"I really want to put on Battle Armor on them. . "
The two young Randal Knights looked back and saw Victor, Charlotte and the four dragon maids approaching. They were surprised to find that the master had put on a battle uniform and was holding a long thorn "Soul Splitting". A short thorn "nether shadow" is pinned to the waist, and the four powerful dragon maids also wear horn helmets that cover half of their beautiful and alluring faces, wearing skirt armor, and carrying an exaggerated strange axe blade in their hands. .
This weapon, which resembles a half-moon harp, is as tall as the dragon maid’s body, and is very heavy. It sets off their slender body and full of violent beauty, but it looks a little uncoordinated. But , Brandon and Klaus have seen the dragon maid’s draconian transformation, and they know why the axe blades they use are designed so huge and powerful.
The eye-catching axe blade shines cold light, young Knight seems to be able to see the dragon maid wielding the giant blade, breaking the formation and killing the enemy's peerless style. The cold air suddenly smells of agitation, restlessness, and blood.
Caligula is as tall as a giant.
His silhouette came out from somewhere. He hugged Bertina on his chest and stammered to Victor: "Lord...Master..."
"I know. "Victor smiled nodded, and said to Lord Nelson and several violent warriors who rushed over quickly: "Do you feel it?" "
Nelson was heavily nodded, two white mist sprayed from his nose, his eyes fixed like a steel cone, "The dangerous oppression almost made me breathe." "
"...A big guy is here. Victor's dark golden eyes looked towards the north side. After a while, indifferently said: "From now on, the army command will be transferred to Lord Nelson, and all soldiers and war beasts will be called back to the island urgently. When necessary, I allow you to give up all the chamois and supplies. "
Pastor Dane said anxiously: "His Royal Highness..."
Victor raised his hand, interrupted his words, and removed the chubby snack from the card. Gula took it in his arms and asked with a smile: "Bertina, there is a particularly powerful monster leading more than three thousand half-dragon humans to rush here. I'm going to see it, but I'm not sure I can kill it...So, we are now faced with two choices, one is to retreat the same way, and the other is to stick to this small island and wait until I come back to make plans. You tell me intuitively, which one should I choose? "
Bell blinked his big clear eyes, whispered softly, "I think we should stick to the island... If all the supplies are discarded, everyone will be hungry." "
Victor cocked his mouth and smiled confidently, "As I thought...Lord, you take everyone to hold on to this island until I come back." Mei Wen and I went to see that...Nine-Headed Hydra. "
"Your Highness, are you serious?" "
"My king, I will accompany you. "
Reverend Dane turned pale in fright, and Red Dragon maid Alexta be eager to have a try.
Victor nodded first, then shook his head and said, "Laila, Your speed is not as fast as Mei Wen. You stay on the island and obey Lord Nelson's command. If necessary, I will notify you and Lord Nelson will lead everyone to break through. "
"Master, there seems to be fog in the north!" "Todd, who has been paying attention to the surrounding changes, suddenly pointed to the north side of the island to remind.
The white fog is like a high wall, and it seems that the curtain connecting Heaven and Earth is advancing from the lake ice to the island. , The diffusion speed seems to be slow, but in fact it is very fast. In just ten seconds, it spreads a distance of more than a hundred meters.
Victor's pupils contracted slightly, frowned and said, "This is Nine- The domain power of Headed Hydra...I can perceive that the fog is not effective on half-dragon human, but it will affect the vision of human beings. "
"Lord, it seems that you can only fight a defensive battle. "Victor patted the shoulders of his capable men, lightly said with a smile.
Nelson said solemnly: "Randal Expeditionary Force lives up to the entrustment of the adults! "
Victor looked to the north with a deep and long gaze, and said in his heart: "I will not disappoint your expectations. "
