Lord of the Oasis

The war begins.

The flag on the red background was flying, and the golden lion in the middle was showing its teeth and claws.

It is Kant's banner [the might of deterring the enemy].

his trump card.

As long as it is within a 500-meter radius of [Deterrence of the Enemy], special effect 1 will be activated, and the enemy's morale will be reduced first, and the fear of Kant also appears in the heart.

The gnoll is the current enemy of Kant.

Of course it will be affected by special effects.

"Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo--"

The howl was like a wild beast, and the shrill voice appeared in the big mouth full of sharp teeth.

This is a language only gnolls know.

Along with this howl, these huge numbers of gnolls were also running frantically, charging furiously towards the houses and streets at the sentry oasis.

Dark night.

But these gnolls with night vision have already seen the human infantry at the intersection.

A new feud at Sentinel Oasis 8 days ago.

The old hatred of the Lion Principality 10 years ago.

Let these gnolls, who are not so rational, run faster with their mace.

His expression became even more violent.

"Roar--"

The gnoll chief roared in front of him, and the chainmail on his body rattled as he ran violently.

It can't wait to enjoy the taste of blood.

Including those gnolls behind him.

There are no tactics.

There is no so-called formation.

They are still in the primitive and ignorant era, and they only know how to kill.

but.

Just as they continued to run and got closer and closer to the sentry oasis, there was a throbbing in their hearts.

The same goes for the headed Gnoll chief.

The green eyes revealed cruelty and tyranny.

There is one more…

The fear of those human soldiers in front!

The distance between their feet and the direction of the sentry oasis is just 500 meters.

[The power of deterring the enemy].

The effect starts.

The gnolls who were originally running and charging at a fast speed, as long as they approached within a distance of 500 meters from the flag, all of them were in shape. Although they continued to run, the previous tyranny and fury were gone.

Their morale was instantly cut.

And the most effective morale in this kind of combat is often a bang.

Once it is reduced, there will be endless troubles.

Gnolls do the same.

………………

"For Swadia!"

A neat, uplifting cry resounded through Dehrim.

At the street entrance on the east side, the infantrymen were already ready, and looked at the Gnoll troops with resolute faces. In addition to the panic in the depths of their eyes, they were also determined not to be optimistic about the future.

If you can't survive, you can only work hard.

This is the east side street.

The main attack direction of 2000 gnolls.

It is also a street that is destined to be slaughtered and bloodshed.

The only 30 Swadian recruits were all holding their shields at the front of the street, and only spears stuck out from the gaps.

The spearhead is cold and twinkling.

And 60 Swadian peasants stood behind them, densely blocking the 10-meter-wide street entrance, raising their scythes and aiming forward, trying to arrange a phalanx of long spears in defensive mode.

Formed this steel hedgehog that can bite the enemy's mouth.

This is not the only arrangement.

35 of Kant's most advanced level 2 arms are currently guarded above the roof of the street.

The hunting crossbow with its arrows is ready and ready to be fired at any time.

Fan-shaped shields and heavy spears are also pre-placed on the sides of the feet, as well as fighting hoes that are more suitable for melee combat.

All in preparation to prevent the gnoll from climbing on the roof.

These are traditional houses in Swadia, with a height of about 3 meters. Even with the triangular roof, the height is no more than 3.5 meters. For the gnolls, it is not too high an obstacle.

"They're coming!"

Hank Scholar spoke in a deep voice, directing Kant's attention to the front.

Kant squinted slightly, the light crossbow in his hand was already in his hand, and he could even smell the stench in the air.

The stench of a gnoll alone.

The distance of 500 meters is over in a flash while the gnoll is running.

The black shadows gathered together, and the sound of running was like a flood that broke the embankment, sweeping all terror, and was about to rush to the sentry oasis, and was about to slap heavily in front of the infantry at the street entrance.

"Swish, swish, swish, swish—"

But the sound of bowstrings was faint, and the sound of breaking the air was also incessant.

The trigger is pulled.

Whether it was Kant or the militiamen on the roof, at this time, they all chose to shoot.

Iron crossbow bolts appeared in an instant.

Blood flowers bloomed in front of the front row of gnolls, and the iron arrows easily pierced the fur, and then pierced the muscles under the fat layer, cutting blood vessels, leaving deep wounds in the body.

"Ow—"

A shrill howl sounded, and the eyes of the gnoll who was hit by the arrow in the front became more and more bloody.

The shooting of the hunting crossbow did not cause fatal damage to these gnolls.

But there are exceptions.

There were also four gnolls who didn't know if they hit the vital point, slowed down and even fell to the ground, but were trampled mercilessly by the gnolls behind them, let out a few dull howls, and then lost their life.

Victory in the first battle!

For a force of 2,000 gnolls, this was a drop in the bucket.

But for Kant's troops, it was like a pot of hot oil.

Morale is boiling!

[Deterring the Enemy] The flag of the golden lion on a red background swayed slightly. The Swadian recruits who were originally stationed at the intersection of the street and had been able to meet the gnoll's big eyes and small eyes, had a bit of excitement in their eyes.

Effect ④ is activated.

Enemies killed on the battlefield will additionally boost their morale.

"Long live Swadia!"

The recruits were shouting, with resolute faces, with a hostility that dared to go all out.

But then.

The gnoll slammed into the spear formation at the street entrance!

"Boom bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang-"

It was as if something was beating the plank heavily, but in fact it was the gnoll who used his body and mace, frantically attacking the square of spears at the entrance of the street, as well as the seemingly solid shield!

The impact of these gnolls is really crazy, even if there are spears and scythes in front of them, they are still accurate.

"Kakkaka..."

There was a crackling sound of wood breaking.

The Swadian recruit at the front made a dull and painful groan.

The entire phalanx crowded at the entrance of the street, in Kant's naked eyes, suddenly retreated four or five steps to the back before finally stopping, and the position in front of the enemy, the 12 Swadian recruits in the front row, then All have been killed.

Even if the left shoulder is against the shield, the spear in the right hand sticks out of the gap between the shields.

The peasants behind them were still helping to hold the spears of the recruits in front with their hands, hoping to stabilize their strength when they came into contact with the enemy.

Still suffered heavy losses in the horrific collision of the gnolls.

The shield shattered directly, and the spear was directly broken. Even if more than 20 gnolls were stabbed to death by spears and sickles, the entire spear phalanx had begun to appear precarious.

Quantity advantage has completely overwhelmed quality advantage.

Even if it wasn't for the [Deterrence of the Enemy] that was still unfolding without wind, inspiring the morale of many Swadian infantrymen, the infantry at the entrance of the street would have had their morale plummeted after such a terrifying collision.

These are all real people.

"In the name of Swadia, withstood the enemy's attack!"

Kant's voice shouted in the street.

But it didn't work at all, because the only remaining recruits and farmers in front of him were shouting and screaming, as well as the howling of the gnoll, which had already covered up his command.

The Swadian recruits struggled to support him, and he no longer cared about stabbing the spear, but just propped up his shield to cover the peasants behind him.

The long-handled scythe slashes from top to bottom, or stabs from back to front.

But that didn't last long.

The corpse of the gnoll appeared on the ground, but the Swadian also fell down because he was hit by the mace.

In the screams of killing, every second was killed.

Even on the roof, in front of those militiamen, gnolls finally appeared.

You can only abandon the hunting crossbow and fight with the fan-shaped shield and fighting hoe in your hand.

But it is losing ground.

"Scholar Hank, we must retreat."

Kant's teeth clenched tightly, watching the infantry in front of him fall.

The gnoll's first attack almost crushed all his defenses.

And he also knows that it will not take long, maybe a few minutes, he is not worth the defense line in "Dehrim", and he will be completely penetrated. Those terrifying gnolls use the flesh and blood of their companions Chiseled in!
