Chapter 373 Ambush (Ⅱ)

Joan swung his palms continuously and slammed, killing the jackals who were fleeing towards the exit of the canyon one by one.

The jackals who followed behind saw this huge and ferocious half-human half-eagle monster hovering over the canyon, and kept patting down the tribesmen who were trying to escape. Like a terrifying demon god, most of them turned their heads and fled to the other side of the canyon in fright. an exit.

Occasionally, a bold wolf man would not believe in evil, and would shoot at the sky with his long bow, trying to force Joan to get out of the way.

However, the bows and arrows in their hands are not enchanted weapons. No matter how strong they are, the arrows they shoot will be exhausted when they fly to a height of a hundred feet, and they will not be able to break through Joan's "Arrow Defense Barrier" at all.

Arrows were useless, and the gnolls couldn't fly, so they could only give up the idea of ​​breaking through forcefully, and turned around and ran towards the exit across the canyon.

At the other exit, there was no monster like Joan blocking the way. The group of rogues escaped from the canyon smoothly and regrouped in the open area overgrown with weeds.

Just after taking a few breaths, before he could figure out what to do next, a chilling horn sounded suddenly from the opposite woods, and two teams of cavalry in bright armor rushed out.

George Vasa took the lead, leading the knights to charge with their guns, crushing the panicked gnolls like a raging iron stream.

After a stormy charge, the wolf group on the grass was completely dispersed, and the leader of the group was pierced through the chest by Major Vasa, and his body hung on the steel gun like a bloody banner.

The Knights did not stop after the charge. Under the leadership of Major Vasa and Major Green, they were divided into two teams and spread out to both sides. The cavalry formation was like two silver snakes drawing an arc on the grass, making a big circle and then turning around and charging back. .

At the same time as the knights adjusted their formation, Colonel Harrison personally led the Asa hunters out of the woods, and greeted the stunned jackals with a dense rain of arrows.

This unlucky Gnoll battle group was first attacked by shooters in the canyon, and the camp was burned by rockets. They fled to the south side of the canyon and were blocked by a vicious eagle man who could cast magic. They turned back.

After finally escaping from the valley entrance on the north side, they got into the "pocket formation" set up by Colonel Harrison. They were crushed by heavy cavalry and shot by chasseurs successively. Most of the casualties were already half. Turn around and flee back to the valley.

The gnoll bandits fled in embarrassment under the arrows and bullets that kept shooting from their heads, leaving more than a dozen corpses along the way. In the end, only more than 30 people and a similar number of hyenas remained, and returned to the exit of the canyon guarded by Joan.

When Joan saw the group of "sorrowful dogs" running back, he didn't pay much attention at first, and followed the previous tactics, using the remote control "Mage Strike Palm" to attack the gnolls gathered in the narrow valley.

A slap fell, blood and flesh splattered, and screams repeated.

However, he soon realized that something was wrong.

The exit of the canyon was obviously blocked by the "spider web technique" and "greasy technique", but the group of gnolls below rushed forward like crazy. Could it be that they were all frightened and stupid, not knowing that such a forceful rush is purely courting death?

With confusion, Qiao An paid close attention to the dynamics of the battlefield below.

Soon, I was surprised to find that the group of jackals who were eager to escape were not only not stupid, but also showed an almost cruel survival wisdom at a critical moment, driving the loyal hyenas who followed them to explore the road ahead.

And when all the hyenas fell into the sludge trap one after another, or got entangled in the spider web, they also used their own flesh and blood to pave a safe passage for the wolf man master behind them to escape.

The Gnolls in the canyon, who were eager to escape, didn't care about the life and death of the hyenas at all. They stepped on their corpses, quickly crossed the canyon, and got into the depths of the dense forest.

After all, Joan still lacks battlefield experience. He witnessed the jackal abandoning the hyena and walking through the trap he set, but he could only remotely control a "Mage Strike Palm". Many gangsters who were eager to fight a bloody path were at a loss for a while.

Seeing the group of gnolls drifting away, Joan forced himself to calm down, and first cast the "Wind News Technique" to report to Colonel Harrison that a small group of rogues had escaped from the southern end of the canyon, and then spread their wings high to track the fleeing group in the air. Gnolls in the woods.

Joan maintained a height of a hundred feet above the ground, flapping his wings unhurriedly in the air, his sharp eagle eyes staring at the group of panic-stricken gangsters.

First through the canyon, then across the meadow surrounded by streams, and then track them to an open valley with sparse forests.

The group of jackals had been running wildly for nearly an hour, and they were all so tired that they stuck out their tongues and were out of breath.

Seeing their exhausted expressions, Joan quickly checked his spell reserve, counting the remaining "myth power" and "Sid's mana", it was enough to bless all the spells that could improve combat power and defense, and then descended to become As a "tree man", he should be able to kill all the exhausted bandits.

Of course, the premise is that the other party is determined to fight himself hard.

If the group of rogues choose to flee in all directions, Joan will not be able to catch them all.

Thinking of this, Qiao An felt a killing intent in his heart.

He was about to put this plan into practice when suddenly there was a long humming sound in the valley, as if someone had blown a horn.

Joan couldn't understand what the sound of the horn meant, but the gnolls on the ground, who were so tired and slumped on the ground, all pricked up their ears, and expressions of surprise gradually appeared on their faces. They cheered and jumped up one after another. Fly in the direction you came from.

Seeing that they suddenly became so excited, Joan guessed that the sound of the horn probably came from a certain wolf group. These defeated bandits found a large army, and they might launch a counterattack next.

Considering that he shouldered the important mission of scouting the enemy's situation, and driven by curiosity, Joan decided to continue tracking to find out how many gnolls and bandits were stationed in the valley, so as to remind his troops to prepare for the battle in time.

Before entering the valley, Joan blessed himself with the "invisibility technique" so as not to arouse the alertness of the wolf man, and then lowered his flying altitude, circling and approaching the valley.

Yingman's sharp sight was blocked by the branches and leaves, and Joan really saw many jackals marching in the forest, followed by a large group of ferocious hyenas.

Joan saw a big tree with luxuriant branches nearby, so he quietly folded his wings and landed on the canopy of the tree. He leaned down to check the gnolls passing by under the tree. There were no fewer than two hundred people, but he didn't know that it was the combination of two battle groups. Marching, or a battle group with a particularly strong force.

After observing for a moment, Joan was surprised to find that compared with the two battle groups encountered before, there was a significant difference in equipment and discipline between this army.

In Joan's impression, the equipment level of the wolf man was commensurate with his status as a bandit, and there was basically no uniform standard equipment.

Spears, broadswords and even agricultural tools are mixed, a few wear leather armor, most are naked, or wear whatever clothes they snatch after looting the village, even women's skirts are put on the body without hesitation, looking messy and messy. dirty.

Such a disorganized team, of course, can't be said to have strict military discipline. In addition, the jackals are impulsive, aggressive and free-spirited by nature. When they are on the battlefield, they are like a mess.

Therefore, the combat effectiveness of a single wolf man is obviously stronger than that of human soldiers. Once formed into an army, the combat effectiveness is not as good as that of an equal number of humans.

However, the wolf man army marching in front of Joan at this moment seems to be an exception.

All of them were dressed in brown leather armor, with long bows on their backs, scimitars on their waists, and spears in their hands, walking silently through the forest.

Even the hyenas that followed at their feet kept their heads on the road without a single bark.

Witnessing this "atypical" wolf man army in front of him, Qiao An instinctively felt that a chilling atmosphere was permeating the forest.
