Chapter 21 Killing (Part 1)

Time: seven o'clock in the evening.

It was completely dark at this time. There were dark clouds tonight, the moonlight had long been blocked, and only a faint trace of starlight could be seen in the sky.

The town of Athens is surrounded by cultivated farmland, and there is nothing in sight. The previously lush weeds have been burned down under Murphy's order.

Therefore, it is obviously very difficult for the Jackals to sneak attack the towns of Athens.

Because the field of view is wide, there are no obstacles to provide cover.

However, the darkness obviously still provides them with some cover. With good night vision, they can hide in the shadows and cautiously inch towards the town fence.

In the past, they had invaded human towns this way.

According to their past experience, as long as they entered the town, they would set fire to create chaos. Then human beings will become a mess because of fear, and that time will be when they are at the mercy of others. That means lots of delicious food.

There are not many night sentries arranged by Murphy, even much less than before.

There are a total of twelve four-meter-high arrow towers on the four sides of the town fence. There are torches on the arrow towers that can illuminate things within a radius of 20 meters. There are three night sentries on each arrow tower, who take turns keeping watch.

Under the cover of night, the first batch of jackals approaching quickly!

The sound of insects all around suddenly stopped. When the jackal approached, there was only the sound of "rustling" in the wind blowing through the grass and trees. These subtle changes did not escape the eyes of the sentries. They looked vigilantly at the darkness beyond the light, carefully guarding against possible attacks.

"What!"

An arrow shot out of the darkness. The arrow hit a sentinel in the heart, but the arrow got stuck in the leather armor. It just shot through the leather armor and penetrated a layer of flesh!

immediately!

The horn is blown!

A shrill alarm spread throughout the town, waking everyone in the territory.

Jackals' archery skills are not very good, and their clawed palms are not suitable for drawing bows and arrows. In fact, the real long-range attack method suitable for gnolls is throwing javelins, because they have considerable strength!

Of course, you usually use your claws more when hunting them, because they run really fast!

Few people know that gnolls are actually color blind!

Although they have good night vision, this cannot hide the fact that they are color blind. Jackals hunt mainly by their sense of smell, and they are as sensitive to the smell of blood as wild beasts. This race will quietly approach the prey's lair in the dark, and then turn it into its own food!

By the way, jackals are nocturnal animals.

Their active time tends to be in the evening and at night.

After the sneak attack failed and the target was not shot to death with an arrow, the male jackal roared in annoyance. He broke the bow and arrow in his hand, then let go of his hooves and galloped towards the gate like a wild beast! Although gnolls can walk independently, when attacking and hunting, a considerable number of gnolls will put their front paws on the ground and run like wild beasts!

It's really fast!

At a distance of thirty to forty meters, the Jackal, who was running at full speed, got closer in just a few seconds.

They jumped up, grabbed the edge of the fence with their sharp claws, and tried to climb into the town.

"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!"

Several spears pierced out from behind the fence. These spears pierced the palms of the jackals clinging to the wooden fence and nailed their palms to the wooden wall!

The sentries on the arrow tower took out their hunting bows and shot the jackals nailed to the wooden wall one by one!

Seeing that the night attack failed, a wolf howl came from the darkness in the distance.

Then I heard a dense rustling sound in the night wind, and dozens of meters away from the town, there were many black shadows! A large number of gnolls gave up the sneak attack and instead attacked the town gate directly from the front.

A powerful trumpet sound came from the town of Athens.

As if this represented some kind of order, all the sentries on the arrow tower began to evacuate, and the spearmen who were hiding behind the wooden wall to coordinate the defense also took back their weapons and began to retreat into the town!

The gnolls captured the town gate without any suspense.

But what makes people feel depressed is that they did not encounter any enemies. Instead, they rushed too fast during the attack and killed several of their companions by sharp points shot out of nowhere.

Although they felt a little strange, the huge number of companions behind them gave these adult male jackals who were the pioneers courage!

They began to approach the interior of the town of Athens!

Soon, they saw their enemy.

They were two groups of Greek infantry, with spears like a forest, and several torches lit around them. The soldiers were ready!

He actually gave up the city gate and started fighting on the streets?

The dense gun array made these leading jackals feel numb, but the little innate wisdom they carried also told them that such a gun array was much safer to attack from both sides of them. So the adult male jackal who was the first to enter the town split into two and began to attack the enemy in front of him from both sides!

"Spread the formation! Line up and move forward!"

The infantry captain in charge shouted loudly, and the Greek infantry in the front row opened a distance of half a meter horizontally to the left and right, and then the Greek infantry in the back row lined up and moved forward. Immediately, the entire front of the street was blocked, making those gnolls' thoughts of attacking both sides come to naught.

In fact, this can be done before the battle begins.

But why wait until the battle begins before moving forward?

The reason is very simple. On the cold weapon battlefield, once a charge is launched, all command will basically be ineffective. Unless a full-scale retreat is ordered, otherwise, the rear row will squeeze into the front row, and the front row will have no choice but to bite the bullet! In this case, even if you are running in a modern school, if there is an emergency and you stop in front, the back row will still hit the front!

After the Jackals gave the order to split into two and attack both sides of the Greek infantry phalanx, the Jackals in the back row could only run with the Jackals in the front row, and they could not see the situation ahead at all. Even if the jackals in the front row saw the changes in the enemy's formation, they couldn't stop, because there were many running and charging ones behind them. If they stopped, they would be the first to be unlucky!

So, I just had to bite the bullet.

It is obviously impossible to make the wolf man, who is just a humanoid creature, "forbidden".

The change of formation in just five seconds gave the gnolls in the front row no time to stop, and they could only slam into the spear phalanx of the Greek infantry with their flesh and blood!

The light brought by the torches was really limited, so the Greek infantrymen in the front row could only hold their round shields in front of themselves, and then stabbed the approaching black shadow with all their might!

Suddenly, the sound of weapons piercing flesh and blood was heard all around.

The momentum of the Jackal's charge was stopped by the Greek infantry, because the back row could not see clearly in front. The Jackal who then launched the charge could not stop at all when the front row was blocked by the infantry phalanx, and could only bite the bullet and hit the front row. On your companions!

Suddenly, people fell on their backs.

The width of the street has been carefully calculated by Murphy. Based on the number of jackals, unless they know how to use an elite team to break the situation, they will definitely be stuck within a certain area due to the number! And at that time, they were living targets one by one!

"Javelin throwing! Prepare!"

"put!"

Following the majestic orders, the town residents behind the Greek phalanx threw the sharpened javelins in their hands with all their strength!

There was a piercing whistling sound, and nearly a hundred javelins were thrown at the huddled gnolls!

There are twenty harpooneers in each line, five lines in total. Each person is equipped with five javelins.

The Greek infantry pulled back to stabilize the defense line, while the javelin bearers seized the time to throw all the javelins around them as quickly as possible.

Soon, bursts of miserable howls sounded.

A strong smell of blood gradually filled the air.

Almost at the same time, all sides of the town were defending against the gnoll attack in the same way.

After achieving the first victory, the Greek infantry began to retreat steadily, while the harpooneers who had finished throwing their weapons began to withdraw towards the central square.
