Chapter 21 Jackal's Attack
"Boom, boom, boom, boom~"
A burst of rapid bells rang from the southern sentry tower, without a pause or a long tone.
This is the early warning bell of enemy attack.
In the square, the originally lively celebrations suddenly stopped.
Luo Mo suddenly stood up from his chair and immediately gave an order: "Order the militia to gather, and the archers immediately hold their bows and go to the wall! Barron, organize the elderly and children to hide in the farmhouse. George, distribute the alchemy potion." For a moment,
everyone Everyone takes action. They had conducted many drills before, and when faced with emergencies, everyone was in an orderly manner without too much panic.
During this period, Luomo made dozens of bottles of rejuvenation potion, which can relieve fatigue, delay physical exhaustion, and restore men's virility. It was originally going to be sold in the market, but now it is used in this battle.
At that moment, each of the archers took a bottle and rushed to the wall to form a formation. The militia and knight captains assembled at the gate of the manor.
The wives of militiamen and knights came over one after another to dress their men in leggings and shoulder pads made by themselves.
When jackals attack, every woman hopes that the men in her family will survive.
Vincent's wife helped Vincent tidy up his clothes. She tied the newly made leather leggings around Vincent's calf. While being tied, I cried silently.
Before the jackals came last year, she and her husband had just had twin boys.
But when the gnolls invaded, two of their children were taken away by the gnolls, and one of the gnolls bit off the arm of a child in front of them.
She had lost two children, and now her husband was fighting gnolls again, which made her extremely frightened.
The difference is that this year's husband is much stronger than last year, not to mention they also have a lord who can shoot arrows.
Even so, she was still extremely frightened. She was afraid that the food she had worked hard for a year would be robbed, and she was also afraid that her husband would never come back.
"Don't cry, watch me avenge my two children." Vincent stroked his wife's cheek and comforted her softly.
Luo Mo also put on plate armor, carried an elf bow, and held a blue frost sword. He prepared a frost spirit potion and a rejuvenation potion for himself. He has been recharging his energy these past few days, but it did not consume too much of his physical strength and magic power.
Now this battle is related to the survival of the manor. If the problem of jackals can be completely solved, then next year we can be free to develop vigorously.
He didn't know the specific winning rate, after all, he didn't even have a second-level knight under his command.
However, seeing everyone's fighting spirit high and no one timid, Luo Mo felt a little comforted in his heart.
On the banks of the Volo River outside the estate.
A group of gnolls were marching through the ice towards Sardin Manor.
There are eight jackals and a dozen kobolds in this team.
The leader's name is Blood Hammer, a jackal warrior whose combat power is above that of a third-level knight. His weapon is a meteor hammer, which is wedged with sharp iron spikes and looks larger than an adult's head.
Both deputy bosses are gnoll mages. The strength of other jackals is almost at the level of knights.
The remaining kobolds look similar to gnolls, but are smaller and have shorter noses. They belong to a lower race and can understand instructions, but have no language ability and can only make whining calls.
Gnolls like to enslave these kobolds and let them do some battlefield support work. Such as being a vanguard or carrying food and supplies.
There is actually no reproductive isolation between the two races. Some gnolls occasionally have a whim for kobolds, so deformed monsters that are half wolf and half dog often appear in the gang.
The group of robbers walked across the ice of the river, and then heard a loud warning sound coming from the Saldin Manor in the distance.
A jackal mage asked: "Chief, what are they calling?"
The leader, Bloodhammer, had stayed in the Hofei Brotherhood and was proficient in human language. He was holding a half-broken human arm in his hand and was licking and biting it.
After hearing the mage's question, he spit out the bone residue at will, stretched out his sharp claws and pointed at the sentry tower in the distance: "That human discovered us." The
jackal mage stared in the direction of the sentry tower, with a faint look in his eyes. Green Light: "His eyes are so good, it will taste delicious later."
Under the moonlight, the Jackal gang continued to approach the Saltine Manor. When they got close, they saw a row of high walls blocking their way. .
It was quiet all around, but they could clearly smell the scent of humans. It seems those humans are hiding behind the wall.
Blood Hammer was a little confused and asked a Jackal warrior next to him: "When you came here last time, was there a wall?"
The Jackal thought about it carefully and said with some uncertainty: "It seems not, he rushed in easily. ."
"The food has trapped itself, which is a bit troublesome." The jackal mage on the side said softly.
"Hmph." A look of disdain appeared on Blood Hammer's face. He walked up to a big tree, swung his meteor hammer and hit it on the trunk of the tree.
With a roar, the big tree fell down, startling a large number of birds.
He directed the kobold behind him: "Lift the tree and break the door open."
The kobold screamed suddenly, took out a shovel, quickly cut off the branches, then raised the bare trunk and pointed toward The gate of the manor ran quickly.
On the sentry tower, the sentry secretly observed behind the pillar. When he saw the kobold approaching the gate, he immediately waved his flag in the direction of the wall.
Knight Nicholas and a group of archers were hiding in the female wall of the wall. When he saw the flag raised by the sentry, he immediately shouted: "Shoot!" The next moment, a dozen militia
archers stood up from the female wall and raised their bows. Pulling full, he shot hard at the kobold under the wall.
For a time, arrows rained down. Their arrowheads were made from timber wolf teeth, set in oak shafts by the carpenter Toby, and were extremely sharp.
In a matter of moments, half of the kobolds were killed or injured. They suddenly let out pitiful howls, some fled back to the gnoll team with their tails between their legs, and some simply fled to the shore.
Bloodhammer thought those humans were hiding behind the wall, but he never expected that there were people hiding on the wall. He let out a howl, grabbed a kobold that wanted to escape elsewhere, and broke its neck in one fell swoop.
"Children, charge forward!"
All of a sudden, all the jackals took action.
Compared with kobolds, they are extremely fast and their impact is extremely impressive.
The surviving kobolds raised their tree trunks again and followed the gnolls to kill them.
On the wall, after the archers finished shooting one round, there was another round immediately, and they opened their bows and shot arrows again.
However, this time the gnoll troops under the wall were on guard, and because they were rougher-skinned and thicker than the kobolds, only a few gnolls were hit by arrows, and no fatal damage was caused.
Behind Blood Hammer, two gnoll mages took out their staffs carved with wolf heads, raised their staffs high, and softly recited incantations.
The next moment, two red lights flashed from the staff and hit the two jackals in front.
The Jackal warrior who was hit by the red light let out a low roar, and his originally gray skin slowly turned into blood red, and even his eyes were bloodshot.
Their bodies suddenly swelled up, and their strong hind legs suddenly exerted force. With a whoosh, they jumped high into the air, directly onto the wall.
"Jie Jie Jie, delicious humans."
The two jackals stood on the female wall, staring down at the archers in front of them, and raised the machetes in their hands.
Knight Nicholas suddenly drew out his sword and looked at the red-eyed Jackal soldier, feeling his scalp numb.
At the same time, there was only a "bang" sound, and the tree trunk hit the gate of the manor heavily.
The heavy wooden door suddenly made a "click" sound, and it seemed that even the earth trembled.
