Chapter 19 Harpy 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.
"Are 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 rout kobolds, the commander was
fierce He raised his fist and beat the kobolds who escaped.
Combining 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 should I do then? The sun is
almost out, and the inspector will be nearby soon. I'd better leave this problem to the inspector. ."
The kobold commander sent a few broken troops to the jungle to collect the remains of the kobolds who died in the battle, 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 unceremoniously 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 humans who attacked had enchanted bows and arrows, and their archery skills are very amazing."
The kobold squadron leader used his troops very cautiously. 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 asking sternly, 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 sentries last night. We arrested and scouted them late at night
. Soldiers, but were ambushed by humans and suffered losses. The enemy situation is unknown. What if I lead the team into the jungle and humans attack the camp? If we cannot
hold the camp, Commander Gunderson will kill us all.
Now humans have detected the camp According to the intelligence, our situation is already very dangerous. I wrote a letter to you and gave it to Commander Gunderson, hoping to send reinforcements as soon as possible." "
The humans on the Platos defense line are very tenacious. Although we captured four castles and knocked them away , With half of the defense line covered, it will be difficult to annihilate the enemy in a short period of time.
Moreover, the cavalry under Baron Harden is still roaming around the periphery, holding back our wolf cavalry. Commander Gunderson sent the Walder Brigade to attack the human Stopa three days ago The baron territory cannot mobilize reinforcements at all now.
I will go to the direction of Baron Harden Castle and have a look. If I encounter human archers, I will brutally eat them." "
Sir Inspector, you must be careful, we are stationed at Baron Harden Castle. The army has a squadron of the Wild Lion Legion.
This squadron is very powerful. It was once the defender of Platos Castle No. 3. It participated in the defeat of the Lachimea Brigade and shot two harpies.
They have powerful enchantments in their hands. Bows and arrows, please don't get too close when the inspector is investigating." 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 if the harpy's vision is several times better than that of humans, it is difficult to see clearly what is happening 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 set up at the top of the city, the harpy did not dare to approach, and flew back to the Platos Mountains from a distance, 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 Wald Brigade captured Vic Castle yesterday and killed the castle commander Baron Stopa. The
human scouts attacked the Orteus Squadron blocking the canyon, ambushed and shot a deputy lieutenant Captain.
The main human force is stationed at Baron Harden Castle, numbering about one 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%, and they passed the interrogation The prisoners, as we already know, killed the deputy captain of the Eighth Battalion, Sally Darren, the day before yesterday, and the other deputy captain, Roland Claude, was seriously injured and disabled, and basically lost his combat effectiveness. The Platos Castle Group is already very difficult. Support the defense line.
Two days ago, Baron Harden's cavalry attacked our logistics transportation team and killed the soldiers of the Un'Goro Brigade who were responsible for transporting grain and grass. The captain of the Un'Goro Brigade died in the battle. The Wolf
Cavalry Brigade was sneak attacked by Baron Harden last night. More than one hundred and thirty cavalrymen were killed or wounded.”
The orc officer in charge of intelligence kept telling the story, allowing the orc officers present to have an overall concept.
After the intelligence officer recounted all the information received, Gunderson raised his left hand, stopped the whispers of many orcs, and said, "What are the casualties of the Walder Brigade? Can we continue to fight?" "Humans
' The resistance was very fierce. At the end of the battle, the Walder Brigade had suffered more than half of its casualties.
If it was necessary to control the Vic Castle, only one squadron of soldiers could be mobilized. If the Vic Castle was to be abandoned, half of the squadron would need to be left behind. The soldiers protect the wounded, and the Walder tribe still has four squadrons ready to fight."
