Chapter 111 Carve up (Part 2)

"As a carnivorous species, Gnolls regard all creatures—including their own people—as food. Gnolls have no feelings for other races at all. They just want to take a share from others. Gnolls will share with you but He will never share the pain, the length of time he cooperates with you depends entirely on whether you are strong enough and feed him enough. Gnolls are lazy, savage, and have no talent at all. They are proficient in a few crafts , but do not understand metal smelting. They neither mine nor farm, but live a nomadic life of hunting and fishing.

Gnoll society is entirely based on force. The strongest and most fearsome gnolls serve as the leaders of the tribe, while the weakest gnolls become food for the rest of the tribe. This way of life means that common Gnoll clans are always on edge—even the slightest sign of weakness in a leader can lead to fights and riots for control of the clan. This will also hinder the evolution of the gnolls for a long period of time, making them unable to cross the clan stage of social organization. "

When hungry, gnolls will eat their own kind.

Even if this kind of savage creature is moving towards the direction of intelligent species, it is impossible to completely lose this primitive animal nature for a while. It is difficult for them to live in harmony with other creatures, whether they are humans, elves, or orcs...

Lying on his back on the carpet of the tent, Murphy kept thinking about a question!

That is, is it possible for jackals to cooperate with half-orcs?

Material assistance is one thing, but forming an alliance to share the results of the battle is another.

Jackals are cruel and greedy by nature, and half-orcs are violent and aggressive. The contradiction between the two creatures can be said to be difficult to reconcile. Unless there is some kind of force that is too powerful to exceed the limits of mortal things, such as gods, the possibility of their cooperation is really not high.

If it is said that the half-orc army will not cooperate with the jackals to attack the southern plains.

So does it mean that the half-orcs who swung their troops south from the loess to cross the Nidolia River may also have a war with the wolf man?

There is no doubt that the orcs covet the fertile land of the southern plains!

It is impossible for them to live in peace with a species like wolf man that feeds on intelligent creatures. Even if they cooperate, it is only for use and temporarily.

But if it was to take advantage of the wolf man, why didn't the half-orc wait for the humans to completely defeat the wolf man and consume a lot of strength before acting? But to send troops when humans are just preparing for a major counterattack?

What kind of connection is there in this?

Murphy racked his brains, but couldn't think of the problem.

If he was the chieftain of the half-orcs, then he would never send troops at this time! Because it is absolutely terrible to cooperate with creatures like jackals, Murphy is more willing to wait for the jackals to be wiped out by humans, and humans are also injured before launching an offensive on the southern plains.

Thus!

In order to gain the greatest advantage for yourself.

Although half-orcs are irritable and reckless, they are not without wisdom.

Why are they sending troops now!

what is it?

The next day, early morning.

When Murphy walked out of the tent, there was already a sound of shouting and killing outside the canyon!

Around six o'clock in the morning, the retreating wolf man army launched an attack. They used one night to make three large shield cars nailed to the four sides, which is a modified version of the original rush car, more like a movable wooden box. The box can block the arrows from the front, from above and from the left and right. The jackals hide in the box and push the shield car forward, knocking down the horse and going straight to the trench.

The width of the trench was about 1.5 meters, and the shield car had to stop in front of the trench.

When Murphy came to the front of the battle, the trench was almost filled with gnolls. More than 3,000 adult male Gnolls attacked in batches. In less than half an hour, they used hundreds of corpses to advance to a distance of 50 meters in front of the fortification bit by bit.

Starting from the change of defense in the morning, the soldiers assigned to the front line were no longer the Greek heavy infantry in the city of Athens.

Under Murphy's signal, General Leo Dalie transferred the 2,000 Silver Shield and Eagle Banner infantry to the front line. The pikemen sent by the human city-states as reserve soldiers were placed on the second line, ready to take over the Silver Shield and Eagle Banner infantry into battle at any time.

After the distance was shortened to thirty meters.

The Jackals hiding in the wooden box let out a sharp howl, apparently walking barefoot they had already stepped on a sharpened wooden stick on the ground. The speed of the wolf man's advance slowed down, and there was a slight commotion. And the gnolls who were walking slowly behind the wooden box holding their shields were thrown to the ground by the archers. At this time, a mighty wolf howl suddenly came from behind the jackal man. This seemed to be some kind of order, those attacking gnolls actually gave up the tortoise-shell wooden box, and charged towards the fortifications with their shields held up like this!

The charge of the first batch of gnolls who stepped on the poisoned sticks was stopped, and then they all fell under the arrows of the archers. But the second batch of Gnolls learned their lesson. They still stepped on the corpses of their companions while the planks were still on the ground.

After another payment of hundreds of corpses, the two sides eventually entered into hand-to-hand combat.

This is a fight without the slightest fancy!

It was a life-and-death style of fighting. After entering the hand-to-hand combat, the adult male jackals who charged at the front dropped their shields. As the vanguard, they did not carry heavy weapons, so they directly grabbed the corpses of their companions and smashed them at the ground. Overwhelmed the Silver Shield and Eagle Banner infantry who stood on the front line of the fortifications! The first contact cost both sides a lot, but the soldiers of the reserve team quickly added up. On the battlefield 200 meters between the canyon walls, the battle entered a stalemate!

A height of five meters is not too difficult for a jackal.

Some nimble wolf men climbed up the dirt wall, but were quickly assassinated by the gunmen on the dirt wall!

The two sides entered into glue, and the corpses of the first-line humans and gnolls began to pile up!

The Spartan hoplite fanatical infantry, appointed by General Leo Dalie as the warlord, stood behind the earthen wall.

"How long has it been since the attack?" Murphy asked in a deep voice as he came to the front of the formation and silently watched the battlefield ahead. The Gnoll's style of play, regardless of casualties, is a little bit beyond his expectations.

In his understanding, most of the battle casualties exceeded half, and those jackals had lost their fighting spirit.

But it has been nearly twenty minutes since he came to the battlefield.

The Gnoll's offensive showed no sign of weakening so far. A large number of reserve teams rushed up one after another, and the loss on the front line had already exceeded 400 people. The 800 Silver Shield Eagle Banner Infantry as the third reserve team also had to join the battle with the auxiliary pikemen! If this offensive continues, I'm afraid even Lady Elizabeth's army will be thrown into battle!

"It's been an hour!" General Leo Dalie's face was serious. He pointed to those gnolls who looked extremely fierce and fearless today and said in a deep voice: "My lord governor! Their eyes are red!"

Red?

Murphy was taken aback when he heard the words, and then carefully looked at the jackals who were charging at the front!

really!

The eyes of those gnolls are really red! There is a trace of blood red pupil faintly!

"They should use something to enter a state of frenzy without fear of death and pain!" General Leo Dalie pointed at an elite gnoll who was still fighting with several arrows in his body, and said seriously.

fanaticism?

Gnoll shaman?

After arriving at this time, Murphy discovered that the servants of the gods, whether they were priests or shamans, seemed to have the ability to make people go into frenzy or even berserk. Soldiers who enter this state have doubled their fearlessness to die and even have a reduced sense of pain. Obviously, these jackals in front of them are like this.

"Go and invite those magicians." Murphy turned around and said to the general's guards beside him.

After finishing speaking, he glanced at the Silver Shield and Eagle Banner infantry who were struggling to support under the attack of the jackals, and ordered to General Marcus Kane: "Put those 800 Psian mercenaries into battle!"

"Yes!" General Marcus Kane responded.

The magicians headed by Merlin soon came over.

Walking in the front was the man in the long gray cloak that Murphy was always curious about. His steps were fast and dense, and seemed to have a special rhythm.

"Your Excellency Governor." The magician Merlin leaned slightly and said.

"Those jackals have been attacking for more than an hour! The soldiers on the front line are very tired! If this continues, the casualties will be very high." Murphy was not interested in talking nonsense with them. He pointed to the jackals in the front line battle, Shen Sheng said: "Look at the eyes of these beasts!"

"It's bloodthirsty!" The first person to speak was the thin figure in a long and narrow cloak. He frowned slightly and looked at the Gnolls in the distance.

After finishing speaking, he gently held his slender and fair right hand on the hilt of the sword!

At this moment, the magician Merlin stopped him suddenly. Merlin shook his head at the man, turned around to look at Murphy and said in a deep voice, "The human army has defeated the frontline gnolls! They will be able to arrive by this afternoon at the latest!"

"The bloodthirsty technique won't last too long!"

Several mages looked at each other, and then came to the front of the line together!

The low voice of incantation chanting began to echo in the canyon, and the surge of the surrounding air suddenly became rapid.

Murphy heard the whistling of the wind, in the canyon, above the battle between the two armies.

A fiery red cloud gradually formed, and a dry heat began to fill the air!

A red light appeared on the wands of the mages, and a red cloud with a diameter of nearly fifteen meters also formed over the wolf army.

Fist-sized fireballs began to fall!

These fireballs exploded after hitting the ground, and the jackals who attacked immediately were blown away!

But just a minute or two.

Most of the attacking Gnolls were killed or injured, and the rest lost all morale.

"This is the power of magic?" Murphy looked at the land that was blown into potholes by the fireball from a distance, and couldn't help but look at the mages who had finished casting their spells in shock.

Seeing this, he was startled.

Because after casting this powerful magic, all the mages, except for the leader, the mage Merlin, fell to the ground in a sluggish way.

And the only Merlin who was standing was also sweating and listless, but barely supported his body with his staff.
