Unparalleled Beast Soul

Chapter 110 Five Defense Battle of Saarland

The mercenaries left happily with what they had gained in Saar City. 【】

The quests they received in the mercenary union were all related to material collection. In the material shop in Saar City, the mercenaries found all the quest items they needed. The price was absolutely cheap, and Leon promised [-]% discount, it's just like taking it for nothing!

The mercenaries only hated that they had too little money on them, otherwise they would definitely buy out the entire shop.

Leon personally sent them away, and believed that after these mercenaries returned, the news about the Thrall Land would quickly spread throughout the Grai region, and by then the city of Thrall would definitely become lively.

When Leon was full of ambition and ready to fight, a bad news came that a large number of swamp water monsters were found in the west of Thrall, and a higher level monster race appeared!

Upon receiving the news, Leon immediately withdrew all the hunting teams and called an emergency military meeting. All the important figures from the Thrall Land were present, including the Wuge tribe.

"There are a lot of them, and the swamp giant crocodile we found by the river sentry has three!" Tie Pi said solemnly, "There are also a few Naga banshees!"

The Naga banshee is a rare ethnic group among the demon clan. Like the black elves, the entire tribe is all female, half human and half snake, and they are born ice and water mages.

If you encounter a Naga banshee in the water, ten iron skins will not be able to defeat one of them. The Naga tribe is also the overlord of the western Great Swamp.

Of course, the Naga banshees are not without weaknesses. If they leave the water, their abilities will be weakened a lot.

This time, the discovery of the enemy's large-scale invasion in advance is thanks to the hippo warriors of the Wuge tribe.

Although the current Wuge tribe is still in the forest by the waterfall, it has a very close relationship with Saar City, and at Leon's request, sentries have been placed in the main forest rivers.

Since Leon and others helped the Wuge tribe repel the sneak attack of the swamp water monster more than two months ago, the enemy has not calmed down, frequently using the criss-crossing rivers in the forest to launch attacks, and even posed a threat to the hunting team of Thrall. .

It can be said that the Swamp Water Demon is the biggest enemy Thrall currently faces, and now there are even more powerful Naga Banshees.

"Since the Swamp Water Demons come out at night and are afraid of the sun, the Naga Banshees can't do without water..." Concordia said in a deep voice, "It's better for us to stick to Sal City at night and look for opportunities to fight back during the day."

Concordia's idea is very reasonable. Such a tactic can make full use of the defensive advantages of Sal City. It is impossible for the Swamp Nixie to jump on the city wall.

Leon nodded and said: "Defending Saar City is very beneficial to us, but we have thousands of acres of wheat fields outside the city. If they attack unfavorably and destroy the wheat fields to vent their anger, then the hard work of our farm for the past two months will be in vain. , the source of food in the second half of the year will become a big problem.”

At present, the food storage in the Saarland is close to the bottom line, and the shortage is made up by hunting in the forest and fishing in the Nucang River.

The rye planted in the reclaimed wheat fields will mature in less than a month, which can be said to be the hope of the entire tribe for the next half a year.

"That is indeed a problem. The trade blockade imposed by the Collingworth Territory has continued. Hunting and fishing alone cannot meet the needs of our territory." Elder Monstein said with a frown.

"So my idea is to take the initiative. The enemy's actions cannot be separated from the river, so we will intercept and kill them on the river!" Leon slammed his fist on the table: "Only by beating them up and hurting them can they be killed." You will know that we are not easy to mess with!"

"Concordia, Rockhammer, call the battalion and guards immediately, and prepare to fight!"

"Yes, my lord!"

Concordia and Rock Hammer immediately stood up and agreed loudly.

Woo!Woo!

For the first time, the battle horn sounded in Thrall City, and all the soldiers of the Thunder Beast Battalion rushed out of the city. Only about a hundred soldiers stayed behind in Thrall City.

It can be said that the Saarland did its best this time. The Leon War Battalion sent out the main force of [-] soldiers, and all [-] soldiers from the Leon Lord's Guards participated, as well as the shaman elder Monstein and the mage Aklan to join the army!

This battle is the first real war that has erupted since the establishment of the Thrall Territory. Although the scale is not large, it is related to the future and destiny of this new territory!

...

Like the Nucang River, the Blackwater River also originated from the Great Swamp, but this river first entered the mountains in the northeast direction, then meandered to the southeast, passed half of the Saarland, and finally merged into the Nucang River.

The Blackwater River is an important river in Saarland. Its two branches lead to the Ironforge area in the Western Border Province and the Southwest Province respectively, and are connected to more than a dozen streams and rivers of various sizes. The entire western part of the collar constitutes a huge sheet of water.

It was through this river that the swamp water demon entered Thrall Territory and threatened the city of Thrall to the east.

The wide river, the deep water, and the black water plants in the river have become the greatest support for the water monsters. Thousands of swamp water monsters, led by several Naga, approached the hinterland of the Thrall Land along the river. .

Unlike the swamp water demon who is afraid of the sun, the Naga banshee can use spells to create a barrier of water mist outside her body to keep her body moist.

This layer of water mist is also like their armor, covering the vital parts of their bodies.

Every Naga banshee has a beautiful appearance, perhaps because of being soaked in water for a long time, their complexion is light blue, the slender blue eyes flash with a gloomy light, and the red lips are as red as blood. Pointed fangs are exposed from the side, as if they want to choose someone to bite at any time.

The most peculiar thing is the snake body and tail of their lower body entrenched on the shuttle boat. The black scale armor covering the surface appears and disappears in the mist, which makes people shudder.

The banshees are still holding gray staffs in their hands, and their innate spellcasting ability makes every Naga a natural mage, and an existence that cannot be underestimated among the demon clan.

The sky gradually darkened, and the setting sun could barely penetrate the dense canopy above the forest, casting only a little bit of mottled light and shadow.

The speed of the shuttle boat slowed down, and swamp water monsters emerged from the water, and the entire river was covered with darkness, including the terrifying figure of a giant swamp crocodile.

A naga screamed, and the human-controlled shuttle slowly turned and approached the river bank, and the swamp water monsters began to land one after another.

At this moment, a Naga who was still on the boat changed her expression. She seemed to have discovered something, and turned her head to the woods on the side of the river, her green eyes flashing fiercely.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!

Suddenly, countless feathered arrows and crossbow arrows flew out from the woods tens of meters away, forming a rain of arrows and falling on the bodies of the swamp water monsters who had landed.

Hiss!

Groups of blood flowers exploded, and the swamp water monster, who was caught off guard, immediately fell down a large piece.

A lot of its arrows came straight to the three Naga, but they were blown away by the layer of water mist covering them. The two Naga screamed sharply, and swung their staffs quickly.

I saw the torrent surging on the originally gentle river, and silver-white water arrows shot from the water to the woods, and the momentum was extremely astonishing!

The ambusher's arrow rain attack was immediately thwarted, and many arrows were shot down in the air, and they could no longer pose a threat to the swamp water monster who landed.

In the woods, two hundred warriors holding large shields showed their figures. They raised their shields to cover the archers behind them in time.

A lot of water arrows hit their shields, making a dull sound of "噗" and "噗", and the force was quite strong.

These warriors hiding in the woods were of course the Thunder Beast camp led by Leon.

The Thunder Beast Battalion was able to set up an ambush here in advance, of course not because Leon possessed the ability to predict the future, but because the river bank here is the closest to Saar City, and the swamp water monsters have passed through here several times to attack the Wuge tribe. To harass.

After this information was grasped by Leon, he immediately used it.

"The archers quickly fire and retreat, and the thunder beasts throw their guns!"

Leon waved his saber to block a water arrow flying towards him, and immediately issued a new order.

All the crossbowmen completed the last wave of attacks as quickly as possible, and immediately retreated to the depths of the woods, while three hundred soldiers took their places, and threw out spears with all their strength.

The big trees in the forest greatly affected the effect of the projection, but they also provided them with the best protection. The Thunder Beast fighters didn't need to aim precisely, as long as they threw the shuttle gun into the river, the mission was completed.

Those swamp water monsters who had just surfaced the water were immediately in bad luck. These shuttle guns all had sharp metal tips, which were powerful and capable of penetrating.

Dozens of water monsters died in an instant and sank to the bottom, screaming one after another, and their flowing blood polluted the entire river.

The three Naga banshees were so angry that their eyes turned green. They roared again and again, and the counterattack of the water arrows became more and more violent.

One of the naga raised a high wall of water on the river, straight to the river bank, providing a solid barrier for the swamp water monster.

"retreat!"

Leon ordered without hesitation that more and more swamp water monsters successfully landed, and two giant swamp crocodiles will also climb ashore. Under the cover of the other three naga banshees, if the Thunder Beast camp fights with them here It would never be a wise choice to have a decisive battle.

His ambush this time was to test the strength of the opponent, and also to dampen the spirit of the opponent.

Now that these two goals have been achieved, there is no need to confront each other head-on right away.

Following Leon's order, the Thunder Beast warriors disappeared from the forest by the river bank as quickly as possible.

After thousands of swamp water monsters landed, they couldn't find a single enemy in the dark woods.

The Naga Banshee's face turned livid.
