Summoning Total War

(This is the second update, there will be another update in the evening. Xiao-Shuo.com, please remember)

------------------------------------------

The sky today is a bit gloomy, with gray clouds hanging over everyone's heads. Since this place was occupied by the abyss demons, there are only a few heavy rains every year, and the rest of the time there is drought, so turtles can be seen everywhere. cracked land. This is because the abyss demons have performed evil sacrifices on the earth. If the entire sacrifice ceremony is completed one day, the land here will become hot and dark red, and may even crack and let lava flow out.

The green breath of life has been gradually deprived of this land, but some weird vegetation still exists on this land.

Those are plants from the abyss. The colors tend to be dark red and dark purple, mostly moss, stalks, and mushrooms. The life forms of demons are different from other intelligent creatures. They can rely on soul energy to maintain their existence. , so middle-to-high-level demons may not necessarily need food in many cases. More commonly, they will find something to eat when they have nothing to do, rather than having to eat every day like other creatures.

Little devils and low-level lemurs do not fall into this category. Their status in the abyss is like pig beasts raised by humans.

………………

"Sir Murphy! There is a team of demons ahead, and the leader is a mad war demon!" The halfling waiter sneaked back quietly and said respectfully to Murphy.

The types of abyssal demons are extremely chaotic. Not only are their bloodlines extremely mixed, but they also undergo various mutations during the process of evolution. This has led to a result, that is, many demons have mutated into the shape of monsters after advancing, that is, inhuman monsters. Even if humans have been fighting with them for so long in this plane, there is still no way to distinguish all the demons.

Because they have a new breed born every day, a kind of monster that is a chaotic hybrid.

It is said that there are a total of forty-nine clans of demons, and most demons and monsters are born from the crossbreeds between these forty-nine clans. Fortunately, the devils follow a rule, that is, the more powerful the devil, the more regular their appearance will be, and they will not grow into an indescribable deformity. Generally speaking, there are still more humanoids among mid-to-high-level demons.

For example, the fallen demon, the dark demon, the horned demon, the scythe demon, the succubus, the enchanted demon, the vlo demon, the balor demon, etc. These demon species still maintain a humanoid appearance. Baidu search to quickly enter this site without pop-up ads

"Crazy War Demon? Where is the heavy crossbow I asked you to bring?" Murphy frowned slightly when he heard this and asked.

The Berserker is a tall demonic creature that is nearly fifteen feet tall. It looks a bit like an ogre, but it is fatter and uglier than an ogre. To deal with such a demon, fighting hand to hand is not the best plan. The easiest way is to shoot it directly with heavy weapons. There are not many smart types among demons, and most of them only have low-level intelligence. However, after advancing to high-level demons, their intelligence level will be significantly improved.

"Here's the heavy crossbow!" A strong orc warrior raised his hand and replied.

Murphy nodded and gave an order to the halfling scout in front of him: "You will be responsible for attracting its attention later and buying time for others to snipe it. I will let others cooperate with you, and the rest Leave the little devil to the people of Gray Fox."

Having said this, Murphy turned his attention to the leader of the Gray Fox group on the side and ordered: "You kill them with your crossbow first. After killing this group of demons, we will continue on our way."

"Yes! Your Excellency!"

"Yes! Mr. Murphy!"

After hearing Murphy's order, the mercenaries around him responded.

Although the adult who hired them looked very young, his tactics were much better than those of second-rate guys. It was obvious at first glance that he had received formal military education. During this period of time, Murphy has been trying to train them according to the standards of an elite army. In large-scale team battles, they have grown greatly, and there have been no casualties in several battles, so they are now very familiar with Murphy. Convinced.

Since leaving that town, Murphy will look for opportunities to eat whenever he encounters a small army of demons!

The purpose is not for any trophies, but to improve the fighting cooperation of these indigenous mercenaries. The Athenian army only goes to the battlefield after several months of training and cooperation, but these people are basically recruited temporarily. . Although their combat effectiveness is quite good, they still need a certain amount of time to adjust to the battle. What Murphy needs is not their small-scale and small-team fighting style, but the combat cooperation as a whole.

"There is no way to measure them by the standards of the army. Let them learn how to adapt to team fighting first." Murphy could only comfort himself at this moment.

These two days.

In the battle with demons, Murphy discovered that if there are no intelligent beings such as dark wizards among the demons, then these demons can follow several laws of playing games in their previous lives.

For example, you can attract monsters!

That's right!

Just attracting monsters.

A team of about five or six adventurers disguised as a small group of people acting alone, after encountering those demon teams, will immediately attract them to rush towards them screaming. Demons are also greedy for life and afraid of death, bullying the weak and afraid of the strong. After discovering that there are not many enemies that can be easily eaten, they will immediately swarm over. Needless to say, there is no need to say more about the rest. Almost none of the demons surrounded are defeated. Able to leave alive.

If the demons encounter a large group of enemies that are more numerous than themselves, it is likely that the demons will escape and then gather a small group of nearby demons to come back to find a place.

There was a rumble of heavy footsteps.

Not far away, a slightly panicked figure of the scout team appeared, and behind them was a fat and muscular Berserker Demon, as well as hundreds of little demons in a dark mass.

"Close the net!" Murphy glanced at it and said in a deep voice.

Such a battle poses no challenge to him at all. The purpose is just to train these aboriginal mercenaries.

As Murphy's order was issued, a group of crossbowmen appeared on both sides after entering the steep slope, and there was a trace of confusion in the small group of demons that were surrounded in turn.

The first wave of arrow rain came, and the little devils fell down in droves.

Murphy equipped some of the mercenaries with hand crossbows and hard bows. It may be difficult to deal with mid-level demons, but shooting these little demons is still fun.

After three waves of arrows fired alternately.

The strong orc warriors picked up heavy shields and walked in front. They were equipped with leather armor and one-handed swords, and they were considered half heavy infantry. Behind them are rangers who take the agile path. Such people are very common among mercenaries. These people are equipped with hand crossbows and long swords. Their mission is to hide behind and look for opportunities to assassinate the enemy. Murphy had a plan in mind when recruiting people, and even deliberately recruited dozens of orc mercenaries for this purpose.

A team of three hundred people.

The configuration is reduced according to the standards of a small army, with fifty sword and shield soldiers, one hundred swordsmen (with hand crossbows), one hundred standard infantry (with hard bows), and the last fifty. He is a person with special talents, but his combat ability is not outstanding. As for the Gray Fox Mercenary Group, their manpower is not bad, but unfortunately their equipment and combat effectiveness are not as good as those temporarily recruited by Murphy, and they can only be used as auxiliary infantry.

Although these people didn't cooperate well, after all, it was Murphy who spent money to do it, and he still had two brushes in his hand.

The battle was over quickly.

After the heavy crossbow shot through the ugly head of the Berserker Demon, the group of low-level demons collapsed. The rest of the battle was not interesting, but because Murphy had given a death order before and no one could be spared, the mercenaries had to separate a team to get rid of those who slipped through the net.

"Count the casualties!" Murphy looked around and ordered.

soon.

The results of the battle were tallied up.

A mad war demon, a horned demon, a demon hunting spider, more than 300 low-level demons, plus more than 50 low-level monsters.

Eighteen of our own were killed and more than forty wounded.

Eight hundred well-equipped warriors dealt with a small group of about 400 demons, most of whom were low-level demons. Murphy was really not very satisfied with such casualties.

But the mercenaries were very excited.

As if he realized that Murphy's expression was not very good, the leader of the Gray Fox group on the side said softly: "The main reason is that the one-horned demon suddenly summoned a demon-hunting spider when it was about to die. Otherwise, there would only be ten casualties. one person."

Murphy nodded and said nothing.

It would be good if they could learn to work as a team first. We can't force them to make temporary arrangements for emergencies on the battlefield now.

"It's not fun to sharpen your guns in battle!" Murphy looked at the mercenaries cleaning the battlefield and said silently: "We can only seize the opportunity to train troops on the road. Try to let them grind more, otherwise, even if they capture the town, it may not be possible. You can hold it!"

A small to medium-sized town may normally be home to between one thousand and two thousand demons, although the number of mid-level demons will not be too many.

However, this record of casualties against three to four hundred demons really did not make Murphy completely reassured.

"It seems that we can only delay the attack for a while and wait for the Ares Priest and the others to come back before attacking." Murphy thought about it and still felt that it should be safer.

After all, these mercenaries are not the Athenian army. The Athenian army may be able to fight to the death with his presence, but these aboriginal mercenaries will not be like this. If the battle situation is really at a disadvantage, these people may not be able to fight. He would leave him and run away.

In battles in the cold weapon era, there is a bottom line for the casualty rate.
