MTL - Bloodline Lord of War-Chapter 165 Assault on the Blood Fortress
Chapter 165 Assault on the Blood Fortress
The firing position of the half-elf archers was located 300 meters away from the Blood Clan Fortress, which was already beyond the range of ordinary bows and arrows.
After the half-elf threw a few waves of steel arrows, no head could be seen on the wall of the Blood Clan Fortress in the distance. All the hobgoblin archers hid behind the female wall on the outer edge of the city wall, and none of them dared to show their heads again. .
Because the distance is too far, it is impossible to accurately judge how many enemies have been eliminated by these waves of arrow rain bombardment, but Robin conservatively estimates that it should not be a big problem to kill thirty hobgoblin archers.
"Stop shooting," Robin ordered.
Receiving the order, Luke, the captain of the half-elf archers, immediately raised his right hand high and shouted: "Stop shooting!"
Robin then ordered Luke: "Stay here and stare at the opposite city wall for me. As long as those hobgoblin archers dare to show their heads, shoot me to death! Do you understand?"
Luke straightened his back and shouted loudly: "Understood! My lord!"
Then, Robin put down the visor on his helmet, turned his head and said to Simon behind him: "Follow me, get on!"
Getting the order, Simon also lowered his visor. He held a heavy square shield in his left hand and a battle ax in his right hand. He took a deep breath and roared, "Iron Guard, attack!"
The infantry phalanx of the Raging Waves Legion began to approach the Blood Clan Fortress. Robin held a two-handed sword and walked in front of the entire team with a murderous look, like the tip of a sharp knife.
The iron guards held heavy square shields, and all of them walked in unison, stepping on the muddy grass against the autumn rain all over the sky, and slowly moved towards the Blood Clan Fortress. When they walked, the armor plates on their bodies rubbed against each other, making a heavy "click, click, click".
No one spoke during the march, the whole team was like a silent beast, everyone's eyes were fixed on the front and their target, at this moment all the iron guards seemed to be integrated, they only had one belief in their hearts , That is to step this **** blood fortress to the ground!
On the wall of the Blood Clan Fortress, Blood Servant Kazan saw the enemy infantry phalanx approaching slowly. He immediately organized hobgoblin archers and started shooting at the Iron Guard phalanx.
These hobgoblin archers have obviously received professional bow training. Although they are definitely not as good as the elite archers in the imperial army, they are also much better than ordinary village militiamen.
And the bows and arrows they use are also very professional, some are imitation imperial longbows, and some are even original imperial longbows.
It is not known whether these imperial longbows were their spoils of war, or if the Blood King City secretly obtained them from other means.
The great elf archers threw a wave of arrows at the iron guard phalanx. Simon stood in the first row of the iron guard phalanx. When he saw the arrows on the opposite wall, he immediately shouted: "Raise the shield!"
The iron guards behind immediately lifted the heavy square shields to the top of their heads. Everyone moved in unison, and immediately propped up a shield shell on top of the iron guard phalanx.
Simon called this form of the iron guard phalanx the "Iron King Eight Formation". Robin felt that although his words were a bit vulgar, the description was quite appropriate.
When the arrow fell, it could only hit the shield, making a "clinking" sound, but it couldn't hurt the Iron Guard hidden under the shield at all.
Robin walked in front of the iron guard phalanx, facing the rain of arrows falling head-on, he waved the two-handed sword in his hand, and danced the sword above his head like an electric fan, and all the falling arrows were caught by the sword. The volley was cut in half.
The hobgoblin archer had just released a wave of arrows, and before the arrows even had time to land, they were immediately counterattacked by the half-elf.
The half-elf archers on Luke's side were ready at any time, their arrows were always on the bowstring. As soon as they saw the hobgoblin on the opposite wall showing their faces, Luke immediately organized the half-elf to fight back.
"Get ready, let go!"
Luke gave an order, and there was a "hum" sound of the bowstring trembling, and then thirty heavy steel arrows shot out, flying towards the blood fortress in the distance.
The distance of 300 meters was approaching in an instant. Before the hobgoblin archers had time to organize a second salvo, the city wall was hit by the half-elf with precision.
Five hobgoblin archers were shot through their heads by heavy steel arrows on the spot, and more than a dozen hobgoblins were shot through their bodies, and five more fell from the city wall.
Although these blood warriors have super vitality, they are not real blood after all. Once their hands and feet are shot off by heavy steel arrows, it is impossible to reconnect them.
So, those who were directly shot to death, plus those who were half disabled and lost their combat effectiveness, this wave of half-elf volleys killed more than a dozen hobgoblin archers.
In desperation, Kazan had no choice but to let the hobgoblin archer stop shooting again.
"Made, what is the origin of these pointy ears, and how can they shoot so aggressively?" Kazan hid behind the parapet, angrily cursing loudly.
He looked back down the city wall, the battle deployment this time was still the same as before, the gnoll troops had assembled at the gap in the city wall, and the goblin bear troops were behind the gnolls.
Let the cannon fodder of the gnolls consume the enemy's vigor first, and when the enemy's vigor is almost exhausted, then the goblin bears rush up and drive the enemy out of the city.
Kazan showed a confident smile on his pale face. Although the gnoll troops suffered a lot of losses in the previous battle, the goblin troops were still fully organized, and none of the 30 goblin troops died. The goblin bear is Kazan's trump card. As long as this army is there, he firmly believes that he can hold this place.
Moreover, once the soldiers meet and the troops of both sides get mixed together, the pointed ears on the opposite side can't let go and shoot.
Soon, Robin led the iron guards to the wall of the Blood Fortress, and the gap was right in front of their eyes. But inside the gap, there were rows of gnolls with blood-red eyes. They held scimitars and round shields, and stared at the invading enemy, showing no intention of retreating.
After the attack on the Rock City just now, and the stampede from the back when the goblin bear charged, nearly half of the wolf man's troops were lost, and there were only one hundred and zero points left among the two hundred wolf men.
According to common sense, with half the battle loss rate, this army should have collapsed long ago. Even the gnolls, who are known for their madness, are also afraid of death. Even if it doesn't collapse, morale will definitely drop to the extreme.
However, these blood warriors who have been bathed in original blood no longer know what fear is. There is no extra emotion in their blood-red eyes, only bloodthirsty and cruelty to tear the enemy into pieces. War machines, they won't stop until they crush the enemy.
Next, hand-to-hand combat began.
Robin rushed into the enemy's camp first, like a bull rushing into a wheat field, and the gnolls fell down immediately.
No wolf man could stop him. Robin swung his two-handed sword and swept across it, and several wolf men were cut in half by him. The upper body was separated from the lower body. The person's stomach flowed out sporadically and scattered all over the floor.
This two-handed sword has gone through previous battles, and there are actually many small gaps on the blade, but Robin did not repair it. Anyway, with the blessing of his Titan power, it is not so important whether the sword has an edge or not. up.
The jackal roared and rushed at Robin, slashing with a knife, hitting with a shield, and even biting with a wolf's mouth. However, any of their efforts are futile in the face of absolute power.
All the gnolls who rushed over died in pieces in front of Robin, and their super vitality was meaningless to Robin. Robin doesn't care if you can survive after being hacked, he directly kills you. You split in half!
Gnoll corpses soon covered Robin's feet, broken limbs and broken arms, intestines and organs scattered all over the ground, mixed with blood and rain, and then trampled on by countless big feet indiscriminately. They were all trampled into the muddy water, and they couldn't tell the difference.
Robin killed so fast that the front jackals had been killed, but the back jackals hadn't caught up in time, forming a short no-man's land in front of him.
The iron guards followed behind Robin, and immediately joined the battlefield. The iron guards roared and raised their shields to attack the formation of the gnolls, just as if the flood had knocked down the hut, and the formation of the gnolls was swept away at once. up.
The iron guards swung their battle axes and hammers and aimed at the head of the wolf man. With a single axe, they could split the wolf man from the top of the sky to his ribs!
Simon's eyes were wide open, and he let out a deafening battle roar. He slashed left and right with the battle ax in his hand, just like a skilled old farmer mowing grass. fell to the ground.
Those gnolls who were cut to the ground by the iron guards but hadn't died immediately would also be trampled into the mud by the big feet of the follow-up iron guards, and finally turned into blurred patties.
The attack of the iron guards was so powerful that a hundred gnolls could not stop it. Soon the camp of gnolls was forcefully pushed into the fort by the iron guards.
The Gnolls were defeated so quickly that Kazan didn't even have time to react. His pale face showed an expression of disbelief. How could this human army be so strong? It seemed so different from the previous attacking army. Species!
Especially the human general, his strength made Kazan feel ashamed, it was the first time he saw such a strong human general, he could kill all directions in the camp of gnolls by himself, and a hundred gnolls couldn't stop him he!
Kazan stood on the city wall, seeing that the camp of the gnolls was about to be pierced by the human army, he hastily and anxiously ordered loudly: "Goblin bear, attack!"
The Goblin Bear troops, who had already been unable to hold back for a long time, rushed towards the iron guards immediately. Their big feet stepped on the ground and made a loud "rumbling" sound. Thirty Goblin Bears charged collectively, like a cavalry The team launched a charge, and the momentum was quite astonishing.
While charging, the goblin bear opened its mouth full of fangs and roared like thunder.
Just like before, they first bumped into the back row of the Gnoll camp. Thirty bears rushed into the Gnoll camp, and immediately smashed into the ground and trampled more than a dozen Gnolls to death.
The poor wolf man was flanked back and forth, and there were less than twenty of a hundred wolf men left.
Robin rushed to the front of the entire team, and he was the first to collide with the goblin bear.
The goblin bear who was running ahead roared, raised a giant mace as tall as a person, and slammed it down hard at Robin. Robin suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing towards him.
He immediately dodged to the side, dodging the goblin bear's attack, the mace almost rubbed against his body, and hit the ground heavily, with a loud bang, the mace hit the muddy water.
Then, Robin strode forward, swung the two-handed sword round in his hands, and cut off a thigh of the goblin bear with a sweep.
Lost a leg, the goblin bear's huge body immediately lost its balance, a painful roar came out of its ferocious big mouth, and with a bang, it fell into the muddy water.
Then, Robin slashed down with a sword and chopped off the head of the goblin bear.
Robin had fought against the bear goblin before when he was training outside. His evaluation of this creature is that it has great strength, but not enough flexibility.
The bear goblins of these blood races are just harder to kill in Robin's opinion, and the rest are not much different from ordinary bear goblins.
More goblin bears took big strides, rushing towards Robin, another goblin bear rushed in front of Robin, swung a giant mace and smashed at Robin, this time Robin didn't even dodge , and directly used the two-handed sword to face the opponent's giant mace and slashed over.
If you only look at the size difference between the two people, Robin is undoubtedly doing the same thing. According to common sense, his best result is to be smashed into a pulp. But in fact, even if three goblin bears piled up together, they might not be as strong as Robin.
With a crisp sound of "Dang", the two weapons collided vigorously, and a ball of sparks burst out immediately.
After the collision, Robin's two feet were still firmly nailed to the ground, his body was as stable as Mount Tai, and he remained motionless. Instead, the huge goblin bear was shaken back two steps, almost falling to the ground.
Goblin Bear's ugly big face showed a puzzled expression. With his poor brain capacity, he couldn't understand why this little human being had such great strength?
Robin didn't give the goblin bear any time to think. Taking advantage of the goblin bear's unsteadiness, he rushed forward. He jumped up and jumped into the air nearly four meters high, holding the goblin with both hands. The big sword slashed downwards, and the big face of the goblin bear was split in two.
"Boom!"
Another goblin bear fell on the muddy ground, red blood and white brains flowed out of the split head together.
Robin held a big sword in one hand, and stood next to the corpse like a bear goblin hill. His black armor was already stained red with blood.
On the city wall, Kazan had been watching Robin below. In less than two minutes, Robin killed the two goblin bears by himself, which made Kazan's already pale face even paler.
His originally handsome facial features became distorted due to extreme anger, and he thought angrily in his heart: This man is very strong, I must kill him!
