Chapter 270, Winter Offensive (Part 2)

ps: Today is the sixty-ninth birthday of the motherland mother, I wish the motherland mother a happy birthday! ! I love my country!

ps2: To celebrate the National Day, there are two updates today, and the second update will be later in the evening.

Passing through the mounds, river valleys and lush forests, the cold forest wind directly passed through the animal skin cloaks and leather armor of the human army, and directly pierced into their bodies,

A large group of human troops are shuttling through the forest. The serf infantry regiments are holding long spears and swords, and they are constantly advancing along the wild trails in the forest. They try to keep their movements as small as possible along the way. The poorly fed serfs were a formidable challenge, but not a single infantryman complained.

Soldiers are eager for military pay, eager for capture, eager for promotion, and war is the only means of promotion, and no one is willing to give up the opportunity to join the army. All serfs dream of sending themselves or their sons into the army of Earl Lane , in exchange for opportunities for promotion.

In the dark life of the serf, this was the only light of hope. Entered the infantry regiment, was promoted to sergeant, obtained the status of freeman, then moved into the castle, became a professional soldier, and the family was thus given the opportunity to move into town and escape the slavery. identity.

Serfs were far more eager for war than knights.

This is already the second day since the army entered the forest, and they have already wiped out three Beastman warbands.

The forest is not suitable for group charges of knights. Most of the knights are walking. The wood elves quickly shuttle between the forests, but the dwarves complain again and again. The thick roots and thorns hinder their progress, and the thick fog hinders their progress. look into their eyes.

"Evil always exists in the Sharon forest. Whenever night comes, goblins and beastmen appear in the forest. They are vicious. They hate any living beings. Goblins may play with their prey. Kill them again, and the kindness of the Beastman is only to let you die all at once, or to enjoy the process of your struggle to death after cutting you in half." Bertrand greeted the group of witch apprentices at Veronica's request. They said: "But despite this, you can't feel safe outside the forest. The darkness in the hearts of many humans is even far greater than these vicious creatures in the wild. This kind of evil is not in their nature, but it makes them even stronger. horrible."

Many apprentice witches have already turned pale with fright at the tone of the bandit leader, even Catherine, who has been promoted to an official wizard. Veronica just watched blankly, and Witch Garland's body was filled with With a ball of fire and a canary-yellow light, it allowed her to move unhindered between the woodlands.

The topics among the knights were different. The kingdom knight Hux stared at the silver-white fog in the forest, and he felt dizzy every time he breathed in the cold air: "Not far away is Lily Island, His Majesty Arthur and It was there that Lord Marcus and Sir Ruf met. At that place, Lord Marcus and Sir Ruf met the lady. The lady made them drink the water of the Holy Grail. This is the second and the second There were three Holy Grail knights. At that time, Arthur had only 300 people, and the green skins had 10,000 people, but in the end, it was the Brittany who roared victory on the pile of corpses of the green skin army! Your Excellency Armand, you must go to Lily Have you ever made a pilgrimage to the island?"

"That's right, that's where the first knight brotherhood was established in Britannia." Armand whispered, "The prototype of the future Holy Grail Knights."

What an honor! Holy Grail! The knights present all showed fascinated expressions.

The silver-white mist enveloped this peaceful forest, and also covered the endless forest land, which is the resting place of the warriors who died in the ancient times. Their bones are buried here, their souls are housed, and their damp cemetery is guarded. The glory of the former kings has long been gone, and now there are only ruins left.

"I'm sorry to interrupt you, gentlemen." At this time, the half-elf Estelle jumped out of the forest and landed in front of everyone: "We found another beastman who was having a banquet. help.

"

"Get ready for action!" Holy Grail Knight Armand nodded. He commanded the army to move slowly towards the destination. Angron had given him all the power to command the army. Armand didn't quite understand why , but he knew it was a trust in him.

The army gradually approached the location where the wood elves were investigating.

A ray of light gradually appeared in the distance, it was an intoxicating amber ray, and it seemed to contain warmth and flames, which made the army advancing in the cold winter feel a little slack, and some serfs' eyes were even a little blurred , They thought of the warm quilt in their room and the warmth of the fire.

The sound of the sharp sword being unsheathed bit the serf infantry like a poisonous snake, which woke them up almost immediately. The knights and the sergeants leading the team took a deep breath and kept gesturing to signal the serfs to prepare for battle.

The army is gradually approaching, hundreds of serf infantry, groups of sergeants and knights are gradually approaching the place where the light is, it is a bonfire, bursts of loud shouting and tearing sounds accompanied by no sense of art can be found The drum beats, the voice is full of joy, and the shouts are getting louder and louder.

In a forest clearing, a group of creatures are dancing. There are about two hundred of them. They have twisted bodies, beast heads, huge antlers, and curse-like voices. They are dancing, wrestling, and biting around a bonfire. , Their bodies are like men and women, but their faces, claws and hooves are not human at all.

The banquet was so noisy now that the Beastman tribe turned a deaf ear to what was going on outside. They never knew that the few low-cornered beasts arranged to watch outside had died tragically under the superb archery skills of the wood elves and Estelle. Down.

There are many skinned corpses in the clearing of the trees, some are human and some are animals. The leader of a Beastman Shaman is dressed in ragged clothes and wears a skull mask. The God of Darkness prayed, issued its own plea, no one knew what it was saying, but everyone knew that another battle was approaching.

The Beastman Shaman was still dancing, pleading continually with the Chaos God, but there was no answer.

"Phew!" An arrow with faint sparks flashed out from the shadows, pierced the cold air, and hit the Beastman Shaman's shoulder.

"Hmm~" the shoulder of the Beastman Shaman was pierced by arrows, it howled miserably, and just about to pull out the arrow with its hands, three or four arrows flew continuously from the shadows, and the Beastman Shaman was hit by arrows in succession, It growled loudly and struggled to get up.

From the depths of the shadows came the sound of musketry again, and the barrage of buckshot from the dwarves shattered the body of the Beastman shaman.

"Enemies, destroy...destroy!" After such an accident, the Beastmaster of the Beastman Gang finally reacted, it roared loudly, and the beastmen who were reveling at the banquet began to react slowly, they tried to take out their weapons, Attack the enemy with a counterattack.

However, the human coalition forces obviously would not give the Beastmen a chance to react. A large group of human soldiers appeared from the shadows, and his crossbow bolts were faster than them. More than a hundred crossbowmen had already reloaded, followed by a large number of The sergeants raised their dwarf hand crossbows together.

"咻咻咻~" The dense rain of arrows first harvested the horned beasts and the inferior horned beasts. The arrows shot by the powerful dwarf hand crossbow were accurate and fast. The beasts who reacted in the first wave immediately paid a huge price. dozens of beastmen were killed on the spot.

"Fight...forward." The Beastmaster of the Beastmen just shouted, and he immediately attracted the attention of the human army. The Holy Grail Knight Armand pointed at the Beast Dynasty and shouted at the dwarf engineer: "The Beastmaster is there!"

"Okay! Look at us!" The dwarf engineer Dugan-Tiehan took down his dwarf gun from behind, and was about to aim it.

"Whew~" A dozen arrows with the power of sparks were faster than the dwarf's aiming speed, and the Beastman Beastmaster kept getting hit by arrows in the chest, shoulders, abdomen, thighs, and wrists. An arrow pierced through its head, and its knees went limp: "Woooooo~"

"The dwarf's things just don't work, huh." The wood elf woodland lord Orgros put down the recurve bow in his hand, and laughed at the dwarf's slow motion, and the wood elf recruits followed suit.

"Boom~" The Beastmaster of the Beastman Gang is dead, but the remaining Beastmen have gradually approached the coalition forces.

"Back!" Hux yelled, "Pike formation!"

"Yes!" The serf infantry yelled in response to the knight's command. The crossbowmen all retreated, and then a large group of pikemen poured out from behind. All were stabbed to bloody blood.

The first battle was unfavorable, the beast king and the shrieking shaman all died in battle, the morale of the beastmen suffered a great setback, the attempt to attack the spear array failed, and the morale of the remaining beastmen was severely shaken, and they tried to retreat amidst the screams.

Olivier and the dwarf patriarch Sven Novigrad had already led the walking knights and dwarf warriors to the side of the Beastmen. The knights of the kingdom drew out their long swords: "Charge! For the lady!"

"For the lady!" The morale of the serf swordsmen and sergeants was greatly shaken. Many of them had the experience of participating in the chivalrous war with Ryan. They were not afraid of these ferocious beastmen, especially the dwarves. up.

The fighting power of the knights was unmatched. Holding their shields and long swords, these professional soldiers rushed into the Beastmen's army formation from the side and rear, and started a fierce battle. People beat back and forth.

The Beastmen were besieged from three sides, and their morale plummeted. On this cold night, these beasts immediately lost their will to fight, and they began to try to escape for their lives.

Sparks exploded in the hinterland of the Beastman army. Several witch apprentices jointly released a fireball, smashing several leading bighorn beasts. Pushing forward collectively, this Beastman warband ushered in the fate of destruction.

"Burn the corpses and clean up the battlefield! Move quickly and take away everything you can take away!" A small battle ended, and another Beastman gang was wiped out. The Holy Grail Knight Armand shuttled through the crowd: "Action Come on, soldiers! We must be at the boulders before daybreak!"

"Yes! Your Excellency Armand!" The serf soldiers answered loudly. They cleaned the battlefield and set fire to the corpses of the Beastmen. The greedy serfs were searching for all possible spoils. Like many animals, the Beastmen also like sparkles Many serf soldiers quickly reaped a lot of things, and some serfs got a small bag of silver coins, and the corners of their mouths were full of flowers.

"Kill all the beastmen, kill all the beastmen you see, show no mercy and mercy, if you don't want to watch these beasts rush into your fields next year, kill your family, burn you kill them all!" Sergeant Bertrand shouted in the crowd: "Anyone who releases the Beastmen will be beheaded and executed immediately!"

"Yes, what Bertrand said is right, execute it immediately!" Some knights echoed loudly.

Seeing some Beastman cubs, some serfs still couldn't bear it. After hearing Bertrand's words, they finally made up their minds. Several Beastman cubs were still in their infancy, with fluff and horns Pierced with swords and spears and cremated.

We will never allow these beasts to destroy the good life we ​​finally got!

"Another glorious victory." Several kingdom knights stood at a tree stump, discussing the next battle plan: "We are gradually approaching the big rock pile, Your Excellency Angron."

A large map was laid out on the tree stump. From the map, it could be seen that this army had penetrated deep into the Sharon Forest.

"Very well, the combat power of the soldiers is quite impressive, and we captured a lot along the way." Angron nodded with satisfaction: "But our top priority plan is to find a way to get the vibration gold from the Greenskin tribe, just follow our plan." The line continues to march, Your Excellency Ogros, the investigation is still troublesome to you."

"I know." The wood elf lord raised his chin proudly: "Nothing can hide from our eyes, the forest knows everything."

"Keep fighting! The mighty dwarves will win!" shouted the dwarf patriarch Sven.

"Speaking of which, it's been a long time since such a happy battle." Holy Grail Knight Armand said with some sighs: "Almost thirty or forty years ago, knights often went into the forest to wipe out these beastmen. Many knights were eager to get The new lands are for enfeoffment, and the dukes also hope to open up new territories."

"However, decades have passed, and now only the most daring dukes would consider regaining the lost lands submerged in the forest. Most nobles are no longer capable of organizing an army of this size to expand their territories. Your Excellency Ryan The appearance gave us hope." Armand seemed to be in good spirits.

Several kingdom knights nodded, and Veronica seized the time to teach these witch apprentices the skills of actual combat.

"A greenskin transport team is advancing not far away. Their destination seems to be the same as ours, which is the greenskin fortress behind the big stone pile." Estelle reported the investigation situation with a few eternal guards.

"Very well, soldiers, follow me." Angron raised his big axe.

"We have a deal with you green leather." I want to chat with more like-minded people about "Warhammer God", follow "Youdu Literature" on WeChat, chat about life, and find friends~
