Half-elf Ranger

The night is as black as ink, the stars and the moon have no light.

Thorne glanced up at the blood-colored flags in the village of Taran, ruffled by the cold wind.

He looked at the double-shielded guards who blocked a steady stream of gnoll soldiers at the entrance of the village, and the warriors behind them who were harvesting with swords.

Ten guards with double shields wrapped in plate armor lined up in a row, standing at the narrow intersection.

The flexible two-sided shields in his hands firmly resisted the blows from the gnoll's claws, the bone crusher, the mace, and the flail without taking a step back.

Behind them was a row of fighters with sharp blades. They didn't care about their own safety at all, and the sharp attacks opened and closed, because the gnoll attacks would be easily resisted by the double shield guards.

The blood-stained blade shone with cold light in the night, and every piercing and slashing was accompanied by a gnoll collapsing with a roar.

In human wars, as long as more than 30% of the army is defeated, the morale of the soldiers will easily collapse, and eventually the original neat formation will be scattered.

These evil gnolls are different, the more ferocious the attack and the scarlet blood, the more they can stimulate their ferocity from the instinct of the beast.

The double shield guards at the entrance of the village were still working tirelessly to kill the gnoll soldiers who were trying to break into the interior of Talan Village.

Inside Talan Village is a group of agile professionals: mainly rangers and rogues, and less than 5 warlocks and druids in total.

Although they did not directly participate in the battle, their tense expressions and vigilant gazes that were constantly scanning the four directions showed their inner unease.

In the dim night shrouded in torches, a strong smell of blood permeated the entire small village.

The collision of the swords and the roar of the fighting reverberated constantly!

"The situation is not good, the gnolls are likely to launch a surprise attack from the forest." Thorne walked quickly to Gust and said solemnly.

Seeing Thorne with blood stains on his clothes, Gust didn't ask too much, but looked at the direction of the battle at the entrance of the village:

"It seems that you can also see that these cunning gnolls are not as stupid as they think. These cannon fodders at the entrance of the village are just to attract our attention."

Suddenly, Gerst's handsome face suddenly changed color: "Oops! My animal companion was killed in the deep forest on the left."

"Youde, the number of gnolls at the entrance of the village has been gradually decreasing. You are divided into five people to defend the village." Gust immediately said to a double shield guard at the entrance of the village.

The double shield guard named Youde slammed the steel shield violently, and after instantly knocking back the attack of a gnoll, he ordered four of them, and a hoarse voice came from the blood-stained iron helmet and said:

"You four come with me!"

The four double shield guards didn't say much, and withdrew from the battle with the gnoll in an orderly manner with Youde.

Without a word, they walked towards Talan Village. The remaining five looked at each other and immediately readjusted their formations to make up for the vacancy.

Thorne stopped talking. He took off the composite longbow behind him and glanced at the fourteen armor-piercing arrows in his quiver, ready to look for the ruins.

When he passed by the sorceress Andrina, he paused and said, "It's too close to the woods, it's dangerous."

After speaking, he immediately walked towards the ruins in the village.

When Andrina heard the words, Mei Mu was stunned for a moment, and immediately followed in Thorne's direction, followed by the troll Trundle.

Tweet!

At this moment, the vicious eagle hovering over Talan Village screamed, and the voice was very loud.

Thorne, who was hiding behind a stone wall, sank.

Although there is no so-called emotional connection between him and the Dire Eagle, but every time the Dire Eagle makes a different frequency of calls, he can judge the general meaning.

The warning just now is the highest level of danger!

So Thorne whistled lightly, and the Dire Eagle swooped down and landed in front of him.

Thorne looked at the humanized eyes of the ferocious eagle, stroked the eagle's head, and then said, "Thank you for your hard work, go and rest!"

Choo Choo Choo!

Dire Hawk rubbed Thorne's hood and let out an uneasy cry.

"Don't worry, it's alright, rest early, I'll depend on you tomorrow." Thorne warmed his heart and smiled.

Tweet!

The Dire Eagle glanced at him with nostalgia, flew high into the sky, and disappeared into the night.

Thorne's relaxed look suddenly sank when he saw the Dire Eagle disappear.

"What's wrong?" Andrina, who had just arrived, walked over to Thorne and whispered.

Feeling Andrina's faint body fragrance, Thorne moved his body slightly, kept a certain distance and said solemnly:

"Four razorboars are making way for the gnoll's worg riders in the thick jungle."

The rear and the right of Talan Village are basically steep cliffs. With the racial characteristics of gnolls, even if it can be climbed, it will take a lot of effort.

However, on the left side of Talan Village is a dense jungle. The trees in the jungle grow densely, and there are rotten and smelly black leaves everywhere. It is almost difficult to pass.

But if the razor-sharp tusks of the razor-boar open the way, it means a different thing.

No matter how dense the woods are, facing the fangs of those beasts, they will fall to the ground like scythes reaping wheat.

Then Thorne looked behind and said, "If you can't resist the attack of Razor Boar, plan to escape as soon as possible."

Razor Boar!

Andrina's face changed, but when she heard Thorne say that she was ready to escape, she thought for a while, took out a magic scroll from the dimension bag, and handed it to Thorne: "You take this one. Bar!"

"Teleportation scroll? This thing is not cheap, but unfortunately, I can't use it, put it away, thank you!"

When Thorne saw the scroll in Andrina's hand, he first glanced at her in surprise, then shook his head in disappointment.

Thorne wasn't a spellcaster, so he didn't learn anything about using magic scrolls.

He thinks that even after studying, he can't afford these expensive scrolls. After all, he is too poor!

Although he wanted this kind of life-saving thing very much, he didn't have the skills to use the magic scroll, and it couldn't play any role.

The price of a lowest-level teleportation scroll is at least about 1,000 gold coins, and Thorne was surprised by the other party's lavishness.

At the same time, there are some doubts about the wealth of the sorceress Andrina.

After all, for the players who were born in Winter City, for a period of time, the exchange rate of gold coins suddenly soared, and the supply was not in demand.

Even the town of waterfalls where he lives has been affected, so that he can't do anything about it.

"Then you have to be careful, Yuanshan Town has already fallen, and I expect you to take me to Twilight Town." Andrina put away the scroll and looked at Thorne and said softly.

She can't go back to Winter City, the Emerald Field is unfamiliar to her, and the road to Twilight Town is even more dazed.

In this perilous wilderness, if no one leads the way to find human settlements, how easy is it to survive?

And Thorne in front of her was her only hope.

"Don't worry, I'm not so easy to die yet." Thorne smiled at the other party, and his mood that was originally dignified because of the upcoming Razor Boar suddenly became relaxed.

He's a ranger, in the vast emerald fields, like a duck in water.

Thorne not only has high-level stealth and hiding skills, but also the stealth bonus from Shadow Hand's shadow ability.

Moreover, when he originally chose the race, the elf blood in the half-elf blood was still the blood of the wood elves, so he had the wild mask characteristics of the wood elves.

[Mask of the Wild: The wood elf blood you have allows you to try to hide when you walk in the bushes, heavy rain, snow, fog, or other natural phenomena to obtain light shade. 】

So as long as he is willing, after hiding in the jungle, it is difficult to track his whereabouts with the ability of the gnoll.

Now I can only hope that Gust is prepared to do something, Thorne prayed in his heart.

There is no weak hand who can establish a territory in the Emerald Wilderness. In the final analysis, it is all out of money, and there must be many powerful emergency measures.

Whether the players in Talan Village can survive depends on the fact that this Druidgester's backhand has not been used up.
