Chapter 44, the first tentative attack

距离星辰湖三十公里的地方,有 3000 多只豺狼聚集在这里休憩,恢复体力.

 

破旧的帐篷里,一个黑发狼人坐在主座上,看着下面吵闹的族长,他已经习惯了.

 

"我即将进入人类世界,感谢瓦拉斯大人的礼物."

 

"这次我要吃个戒指.皮薄肉嫩的人类贵族,光是想想都流口水.

 

"财富,人类世界的金币在召唤我."

 

十几个豺狼氏族的族长聊着天,每只狼都有不同的追求.

 

就在这时,一个高大的狼人走了进来,单膝跪地,等待着首领的命令.

 

闭着眼睛休息的罗格斯睁开了眼睛,让周围的环境都颤抖了起来.帐篷里顿时安静了下来,没有一个豺族族长敢再说话.

 

"指挥官,侦察兵报告说,前方三十公里处有一片人类领地."

 

"时间."

 

听到这话,最先坐着的豺狼连忙报告道:"指挥官,现在是早上六点.

 

"一个小时后,出发,占领人类领地,吃掉."

 

"是的,指挥官."

 

豺狼族的族长们都站了起来,鞠躬行礼,然后陆续离开了帐篷.

 

太阳升起,3000多只豺狼在荒野中静静地奔跑,朝着星辰潭而去.

 

豺狼指挥官罗格斯大学骑在一只高大的豺狼背上,看着前进的军队.摧毁人类的第一块领土势在必行.

 

微风吹拂着耳边,他不禁想起了父亲讲述的伦扎战役.

 

一百年前,在包括豺狼在内的十几位野生怪族神的命令下,在人类以利亚王国的边界附近,所有的怪族都使出浑身解数,聚集了百万个怪兽联盟,将数百万哥布林赶向东方.

 

In the early days, it broke through many human territories in one fell swoop, capturing countless slaves and food.

 

But soon there was a turning point, and Muse, the life of the belief in the Kingdom of Elijah, ended himself, causing many monster races and gods to stop and not dare to act rashly.

 

Afterwards, the humans pushed back and killed the leader of the monster alliance, the red dragon Sagus, in the area of Lunza.

 

At this point, the defeat of the monster clan ended, and the humans won the war and seized a large area of land that belonged to them.

 

In recent years, humans have continued to expand, compressing the living space of monsters, and a chaos is coming again.

 

Rutgers, the Jackal Commander, looked at the unfamiliar environment around him and clenched his fists. As a Jackal with some status, he knew very well that this action was just a test.

 

Even, this kind of temptation has been tried many times, and this time is just the first time.

 

As for why, he didn't know either.

 

"Cannon fodder, just cannon fodder."

 

As a low-rank silver warrior, he did not have such a high status to be the leader of a team.

 

However, it was cannon fodder. If the eldest master's heirs could not go, they could only have the Jackal who had no sense of existence and whose strength was at the top of the list as the leader.

 

Even the jackal clans under him were all poor and white idiots who had been fooled into coming here.

 

"Live, survive."

 

When he reached the human frontier, all he had to do was survive.

 

At the top of the castle on the cliff of the Lake of Praying Stars, Velin stood at the top, looking at the jackals who were approaching in the distance, gritted his teeth: "At least 3,000 jackals, it's a big challenge."

 

At this time, Baird came to his side and reported respectfully, "Lord, there are various traps in the village, enough for these jackals to drink a pot."

 

"How well are the stones stored, and how many times can they support battles?" Verlin turned his head to look at Baird and asked in a deep voice.

 

"Lord, the stones are piled up in the castle clearing, enough to support four high-intensity battles."

 

After hearing this, Velin nodded and continued, "Let everyone hurry up and rest. We may not have any free time in the future."

 

"Yes."

 

Inside the castle, in addition to the 500 soldiers, another 2,000 young men were also organized, armed with spears, leather armor and iron swords, and served as supervisors and grassroots commanders.

 

The remaining personnel, both male and female, were all assigned as logistics personnel, supporting and transporting the wounded, replenishing stones, and providing sufficient iron arrows for the three-bow bed crossbow.

 

Near noon, the Jackal Commander Rutgers stopped outside the village and shouted, "Stop moving forward."

 

Some of the Jackals were banned and kept their basic formation in order. There were about 500 of them, which were trained by Rutgers during the long one-month march.

 

The other 2,500 Jackals were obviously half a beat slower, and they stood in place indiscriminately, at a loss, looking like a motley army.

 

"Commander, why stop advancing? The human territory is right in front of us."

 

A low-level silver jackal clan chief walked forward with greed in his eyes, staring at the village in the distance, and asked in confusion.

 

Rutgers did not speak. He jumped down from the back of the tall Jackal and came to the head of the Jackal clan. He kicked him flying.

 

The dozen or so silver jackals around lowered their heads one after another, not daring to speak.

 

"My word is an order." Rutgers looked around and said ruthlessly, "Now, bypass the village and target the castle on the hill. Take it."

 

"Yes, Commander," all the Jackal answered loudly, not daring to hesitate.

 

On the inner wall of the castle, Velin noticed that the jackals began to circle, and said, "Baird, ring the gongs and drums, prepare for battle, we have encountered an opponent."

 

"Yes, Lord."

 

When Baird saw this, his face was not very good-looking. He did not expect that the other party directly bypassed the village. Didn't they work in vain last night?

 

"Dang dang dang"

 

"The first team goes to the city wall, and the second team rests."

 

In various areas of the castle, the knights responsible for guarding the various stages of the city wall heard this voice and gave orders to the officers.

 

The next moment, the silent castle became noisy, and people were moving everywhere.

 

In just ten minutes, more than 800 people were responsible for putting the city wall in place.

 

It wasn't that Velin didn't want more people to defend, but the outer city walls and the inner city walls together could only accommodate so many people fighting at the same time.

 

After an hour, a large group of Jackals arrived a kilometer from the castle.

 

"Those green reptiles, dare to lie about the news, it's really cheap to roast them."

 

Rutgers looked at the castle in a bad mood, recalling a Goblin tribe that had been captured a few days ago, and received news that the place had been occupied by humans half a year ago.

 

"Damn crawler, can this castle be repaired in half a year?"

 

A jackal looked at the commander in fear and asked, "Commander, do you want to attack?"

 

"Attack, let the third and fourth teams attack and test the opponent's strength." Rutgers thought for a while and gave the order.

 

"Yes, Commander."
