Chapter 19: The Eagle Man

The defeated kobolds returned to the camp and reported the situation in the jungle to the kobold commander. Hearing that the ambushers numbered only three, the kobold commander was shocked by the audacity of his enemy.

"Were the attacking human scouts powerful noble officers?"

"The enemy's archery skills are very accurate, and the bows they use are also enchanted bows. Using only bows and arrows, the attackers severely damaged us."

Listening to the story of the defeated kobolds, the commander raised his fist fiercely and beat the kobolds who escaped.

Based on the intelligence brought by the defeated kobolds, the commander had roughly figured out the details of the battlefield. It wanted to send men to hunt down Richard and the others, but it was also a little worried about the enemy's archery skills.

Besides, the kobold squadron still had the task of blocking the passage, so they couldn't make up their minds for a while.

"Human beings are very cunning. If I leave the camp and go into the forest to chase the attackers, and the enemy comes to attack the camp, what will I do?

The sun is almost out, and the inspector will be nearby soon. Let's leave this problem to the inspector. "

The kobold commander sent a few broken troops to collect the remains of the kobolds who died in the jungle, and anxiously waited for the arrival of the harpy inspector.

About an hour and a half later, a black spot appeared in the sky in the distance.

Seeing that the harpies had arrived, the kobolds stationed at the camp finally felt relieved.

"How is the enemy situation?"

The harpy had a very bad temper and asked unceremonious questions after landing at the camp.

"Last night, human scouts came to attack. Before dawn, I sent a team of soldiers into the forest to capture the enemy. They suffered serious casualties. The deputy squadron leader was killed, and six soldiers were killed together. According to the reports from the defeated troops, According to the news, the attacking humans have enchanted bows and their archery skills are amazing.”

The kobold squadron leader used his troops very prudently. Although he suffered losses, he explained the situation last night in detail.

"Why don't you send troops to pursue the enemy? Are you afraid of the cold arrows of humans?"

Seeing the harpy's stern question, the kobold commander explained: "Of course I'm not afraid of humans. The main task of our squadron is to block the passage.

Humans are very cunning. They sent scouts to attack the sentry last night. When we captured the scouts late at night, we were ambushed by humans and suffered losses. The enemy's situation is unknown. What if I lead a team into the jungle and humans attack the camp?

If we can't hold the camp, Commander Gunderson will kill us all.

Now that humans have detected the information about the camp, our situation is already very dangerous. I have written a letter and give it to Commander Gunderson, hoping that reinforcements can be sent as soon as possible.

"The humans on the Platos defense line are very tenacious. Although we have conquered four castles and broken through half of the defense line, it will be difficult to annihilate the enemy in a short time.

Moreover, the cavalry under Baron Harden were still cruising around the periphery, restraining our wolf cavalry. Commander Gunderson sent the Walder Brigade to attack the human Baron Stopa three days ago, but now there is no reinforcements available.

I will go to the direction of Baron Harden's castle and take a look. If I encounter human archers, I will eat them cruelly. "

"Sir Inspector, please be careful. There is a squadron of the Wild Lions in the troops stationed at Baron Haddon's castle.

This squadron has a very strong combat capability. It was once the defender of Platos Castle No. 3, participated in the defeat of the Lachmeia Brigade, and shot two harpies.

They have powerful enchanted bows and arrows in their hands. When the inspector is investigating, adults must not get too close. "

The harpy put away the kobold commander's request for help, raised his eyes, fluttered his wings and quickly disappeared into the sky.

Coming out of the canyon, there are dense forests on both sides of the road. Even though the harpy's vision is several times better than that of humans, it is difficult to see clearly what is under the canopy if they are too far away.

The three of them, Richard, were all natives of Northern Xinjiang. Ron had also experienced an orc invasion war, so he would naturally be on guard against harpies when he returned.

Harpies are famous in northern Xinjiang. Every time the orcs invade, there will be harpies.

This kind of monster is the nemesis of the Northern Xinjiang scouts. If it is in a flat plain area, ordinary scouts can hardly save their lives when encountering a harpy. Even in the mountains and forests, many scouts die among the harpies every year.

If William hadn't sent him the enchanted bow, and Richard's archery skills were very good and had been upgraded to the fourth level, and he had a way to restrain the harpy, the three brothers would not have dared to take on the reconnaissance mission.

The harpy was very fast, and since no trace of Richard and the others was found along the way, they went directly to Haden Castle.

Seeing the harpy appearing, squadron leader Diarra reacted quickly and immediately placed the enchanted bow on the top of the city and loaded it with a fourth-level explosive arrow. If the harpy dares to swoop close, seize the fighter plane and shoot the harpy.

Harpies can restrain human scouts, and enchanted bows and explosive arrows can also restrain harpies.

In every battle in the north, many harpies died from exploding arrows.

Seeing three enchanted bows and arrows mounted on the city wall, the harpies did not dare to approach, and flew back to the Platos Mountains far away, reporting the situation in Harden Castle to the orc commander Gunderson.

After receiving intelligence about the vicinity of Haddon Castle, Gunderson summoned the Orc officers for a pre-battle meeting.

"Collecting intelligence from all aspects, the Walder Brigade captured Vic Castle yesterday and killed the castle commander Baron Stopa.

Human scouts attacked the Orteus squadron blocking the canyon, ambushed and shot a deputy squadron leader.

Baron Haddon's castle is garrisoned by the main human force, numbering about a squadron. The city defense is relatively tight, and there should be more than ten human professionals among the defenders.

The casualties of the defenders of Platos Castle exceeded 50%. Through interrogation of prisoners, we have learned that the deputy captain of the 8th Battalion, Sally Darren, was killed the day before yesterday, and another deputy captain, Roland Claude, was seriously injured and disabled, basically losing his combat effectiveness. The Platos Castle group has been unable to support the defense line.

Two days ago, Baron Harden's cavalry attacked our logistics transport team and killed the soldiers of the Angolo Battalion responsible for transporting food and grass. The captain of the Angolo Battalion died in battle.

The Wolf Cavalry Battalion was ambushed by Baron Harden last night, and more than 130 cavalrymen were killed and injured. "

The orc intelligence officer kept talking, so that the orc officers present had a global concept.

After the intelligence officer told all the intelligence he received, Gunderson raised his left hand to stop the whispers of many orcs, and said: "What is the casualty situation of the Wald Battalion? Can it continue to fight?"

"The human resistance is very fierce. The defenders of Vic Castle fought to the end, and the casualties of the Wald Battalion have exceeded half.

If we need to control Vic Castle, we can only dispatch one squadron of soldiers. If we abandon Vic Castle, we need to leave half a squadron of soldiers to protect the wounded. The Wald Tribe still has four squadrons available for combat. "
