Chapter 104 The Crisis Reappears
Chapter 104 The Crisis Reappears (First Order)
After another three rounds of shooting, more than 100 frogman fighters were killed.
Seeing the enemy who was about to rush 30 meters in front of him, Thanos immediately made the skeleton archers retreat one after another, and at the same time let the skeleton soldiers walk forward.
At the same time he raised his staff.
"Bone Spear!"
A 1.8-meter-long bone spear with a thick wrist immediately shot into the frogman troops with a sound of "Woo-woo."
After shooting through the first frogman, the bone spear continued to shoot at the second frogman.
With just one bone spear, seven or eight frogmen were killed.
And he continued to shoot bone spears, and for a while, he even seemed to be in charge of the gate.
The Frogmen's intercepting force lost almost half of it before they even got close.
The huge casualties dealt a huge blow to the morale of the frogman fighters.
The frogman warriors in the front row looked at their fallen companions, and immediately hesitated to move forward.
But the enemy will not give them time to hesitate.
I saw that Wilkin first summoned an undead, and after summoning a few frogman undead, he gripped his sword and shield tightly, and rushed over on his undead mount.
"kill!"
In an instant, more than a dozen frogman fighters were killed.
And the frogmen warriors killed by him will soon rise slowly and become new undead warriors.
Marika turned into a cloud of gray mist and rushed directly behind the frogman troops. After landing, she returned to her human form, and then the double swords in her hands were like harvesters, constantly harvesting the lives of the frogman soldiers around her. .
Seeing this, Sumante and Thackeray in the rear could only feel envious for a while.
Because they were short of the last material, they were unable to transfer the undead knight for a long time.
After a while, under the charge of skeleton soldiers, the remaining frogman warriors collapsed immediately.
Those who fled fled, those who knelt and surrendered surrendered.
This made the three frogman priests in the distance suddenly panicked.
You must know that this time they only assembled more than 500 frogman fighters.
Now one-fifth of the troops are gone, can you not feel distressed?
But no matter how distressed they are, they can't retreat.
Because according to their investigation, Hydra disappeared in this area.
The name of their clan is the Nine-Dragon Frog Clan. They have supported the Hydra for generations and provided their blood for the big tribe.
Because they can use the blood of Hydra to gain extraordinary power.
This is also the reason why their frogmen are not strong, but they can still survive.
So they had to find the divine beast before they could go back and give the chief an explanation, otherwise they might be exterminated.
After a while, they sent out frogmen again, ready to block the enemy's reinforcements.
But this time, they no longer took the initiative to attack, but defended in place.
Thanos was naturally very happy about this.
I saw him let the skeleton shooter come 120 meters away, then lay down and started shooting non-stop.
"Shhhhhh..."
With the continuous shooting of arrows, it soon caused a lot of casualties to the frogman warriors.
The morale of the frogman fighters, who lacked long-range attack methods, suddenly plummeted.
As an amphibious race, the frogmen have the ability to breathe in water, so it is difficult for them to develop long-range attacks such as bows and arrows.
After all, if wood is soaked in water for a long time, it will soon rot. Even if you use wood that can be soaked in water, it will not shoot out in water.
Therefore, the innate conditions of the frogmen limited the use of bows and arrows.
Seeing this, the three frogman priests immediately cast spells one after another.
What water shield, spa and so on.
But these spells can only slow down the rout of the frogman fighters, and they don't have much effect on the overall battle situation.
Seeing the heavy casualties of the clansmen and the camp that could not be breached for a long time, the three frogman priests finally gritted their teeth and had no choice but to withdraw their troops.
Yes, they did not choose to die.
Survival is the instinct of all living beings, and it is impossible for them to fight to the death when they know they can't beat them.
If it was really that stupid, then this Nine Dragon Frog Clan would have been extinct long ago.
It's better to keep your useful body and go back with a large army.
Facing the retreat of the frogmen, Thanos did not choose to pursue them.
After all, the frogmen could escape to the lake, but his soldiers could not.
……
Time slowly came to the afternoon.
After packing up the corpses, the subordinate's casualty report was also submitted.
A total of 138 human soldiers were killed, 84 were injured, and 238 undead were lost.
The main reason is that Chidi's men died more.
After all, when they were besieged, the soldiers had nowhere to hide.
The number of frogmen killed was about 341, and frogmen were also captured.
Looking at the report in his hand, Thanos was not very satisfied.
The frogmen belong to the low-level race among the aborigines, and their strength is weak, almost similar to that of the underground people.
In the water, the strength can still be stronger, but on land, it can still achieve such a high battle damage, which shows that the training of the soldiers is still too little.
"It seems that the skeleton general's creation plan must be advanced as soon as possible."
As long as the Skeleton General appears, his subordinates can form an army by himself. At that time, he can abandon the human army, let the human develop industry with peace of mind, and provide resources and corpses.
While thinking, Malika suddenly opened the door and entered.
"My lord, we found a frogman warrior who can speak the language of the fox people, and then we conducted some torture."
Thanos raised his head immediately upon hearing this.
"Did you get any information?"
He hadn't been willing to kill the priest of the fox tribe that he had caught back then, but had been imprisoned all the time.
After all, he doesn't have a family behind him, and he doesn't have a wizard of the light department to serve him. If he wants to communicate with the indigenous people, he can only rely on the sacrifice of the fox tribe.
Malika nodded and said, "My lord, according to the foxman's translation, the frogmen who attacked this time are a branch called Nine Dragons, which mainly raise hydra and sell them to those big tribes.
The Nine Dragon Frogmen have a total population of about , with one high priest and priests, and the official number of fighters is about . As for the combatants, even if they can afford weapons, there are about . . "
Hearing this, Thanos immediately frowned.
Almost all the natives are soldiers, except for cubs, old and weak, women and children can fight.
His current total strength is only about , of which are human soldiers and are undead.
However, due to the problem of mental power, at most one thousand and five undead troops can be dispatched at the same time, plus one thousand human soldiers, that is to say, the number of troops that can fight at the same time is only two thousand and five troops.
The gap between and indigenous people is too great.
The research of Skeleton General is imminent.
Otherwise, if the frogmen came to attack again, they would not be able to stop them at all.
However, let's ask that person's opinion first.
Thinking of this, he turned his head to look in the direction of the cliff.
The smoke over there is burning, the trees have been felled, and the lake has been burned up.
The tall life puppets are like modern machines, carrying out various works of breaking mountains and filling lakes.
The industrious miners continued to dig the ground nearby.
Because the emerald mine is about 400 meters underground, the preliminary project is relatively large.
