Unparalleled Beast Soul

Chapter 220

Count Octavia also handed over all the [-] snow camels owned by the White Rock City garrison to Leon. The snow camels are unique camels on the extreme arctic ice fields, and they can walk like flying on the thick snow. It has a strong load capacity and is most suitable for transporting supplies. 【】

A thousand Thunder Beast warriors and two hundred snow camels, led by Leon, left Baishi City and set foot on the vast ice field.

Count Octavia watched the Thunderbeast brigade from the city wall until it disappeared, complex and difficult expressions flickered in the lion's eyes.

Leon, I hope you don't let me down!

.........

The cold wind is howling, frost and snow are flying all over the sky, and on the Great Northern Ice Field, a long team is slowly moving forward along the coastline.

On the east side of the ice field is the black blue sea. The ice storm creates waves of waves on the sea surface. The waves of more than ten feet high hit the coast restlessly, and are crushed before the cliffs again and again.

"Where have we been?"

Leon took off the animal skin scarf that blocked the wind, and asked in a deep voice, "How long will it take to reach Hailanji?"

A guide next to him immediately replied: "My lord, we can reach Hailanji before sunset at most!"

"That's not enough..." Leon whispered, "We still have to speed up!"

Hailan is located in the northeast of Valen City, which was originally a seaside town belonging to the Beamon orcs, but was later destroyed by barbarians. It is about 100 miles away from Valen City.

The guides of the Thunder Beast Brigade are all local aboriginal snow wolf hunters. They are very familiar with the environment on the ice sheet. is the most appropriate turning point.

Therefore, a hundred miles further north from Hailanji, it is Linsk, the port of the barbarians. It is through Linsk and several other ice-free seaports that the human race provides support for the barbarians.

So Leon decided not to try his luck in front of Valen City, and rushed directly to Hailanji. If he was lucky enough, he might encounter the barbarian transport team head-on.

Under Leon's order, the Thunder Beast Brigade accelerated its forward speed.

Every soldier tightly held the weapon in his hand. Although the severe cold and snowstorm posed great obstacles, they couldn't stop them from moving forward.

And more than ten miles northwest of the brigade, a scout team of the Thunder Beast Brigade was galloping on the ice field.

According to the establishment of the Thunder Beast Army, a scouting team is exactly ten people, each equipped with a snow camel.

On the extreme arctic ice sheet, the thousand-pound snow camel is a very precious animal ride.

The snow camel is docile and easy to domesticate. Its broad feet have strong adhesion, and it will not slip when stepping on the ice and snow. The thick white plush can resist the severe cold weather in the extreme north. The fat accumulated on the towering hump is even more It is to allow it to walk on the ice sheet for a week or two without eating or drinking.

The Thunder Beast Brigade carried [-] snow camels, and Leon allocated [-] of them to the scout team. After a few days of adaptation, the scouts quickly mastered the control of this "ship of the ice field" Beast riding.

The ten leopard-born scouts all wore white cloaks, which made it difficult for them to be spotted by the enemy on the snowy ground. Although it was the first time for them to conduct scouting battles on ice and snow, the scouts worked hard to adapt to this environment.

"There is a situation!"

A scout was the first to discover the abnormal movement on the distant ice field, and immediately issued a warning to his companions.

The leopard-born scouts have extremely sharp eyesight. In an open area, no movement within a few miles can escape their eyes, not to mention the targets that appear are not small.

Those were five or six warriors who also rode snow camels. They had a much stronger physique than the leopard-born scouts, their long black hair was tied into small braids, and their faces were painted with white paint.

That is the most striking characteristic of the savage.

These indigenous peoples on the ice sheet have already adapted to the climate here. In such a world of ice and snow, the six barbarian cavalrymen still bare their arms, as if they are not afraid of the severe cold at all.

When the ultralisk scouts spotted them, the barbarians also became aware of their opponents.

They rushed towards the scout team without hesitation, howling excitedly as they charged, as if thinking that the Thunderbeast scouts were already in their possession.

The captain of the Thunder Beast scouting team smiled coldly, a stern look flashed in the leopard's eyes, he raised his left hand and shouted sharply: "Go up and let them know how powerful our Thunder Beast fighters are!"

"Definitely!"

The nine scouts echoed in unison, took the reins and steered the snow camel to meet the opponent.

Once the snow camel galloped, its speed was not slow, and the distance between the two sides shortened rapidly.

The barbarian cavalry reached out and took off their big bows from their backs one after another. As scouts of the army, their riding and shooting abilities were not weak.

The scout captain, who had been paying attention to the enemy's movements, immediately shouted: "Spread out, attack freely!"

Whoosh!Whoosh!

When the distance between the two sides was less than a few hundred steps, the barbarian cavalry attacked first.

The hunting bows used by the barbarians are large in size and powerful, and the shooting distance is quite far, but the disadvantage is that the accuracy is not high. Four or five feathered arrows fly far away, and they are blown to one side by the wind and sink into the snow. Can hit the target.

However, the barbarian warriors didn't care. For them, the most powerful weapon was the mace hanging on the back of the snow hunchback. Once they got close to the enemy and smashed it down, even an opponent wearing armor couldn't resist it.

The distance of a few hundred steps is quite far, and the time for a real face-to-face charge to reach close combat is very short.

But their opponents would not fight them face to face.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!

The thunder beast scouts fought back one after another, nine sharp armor-piercing arrows pierced through the wind and snow, and fell towards the barbarians!

The riding bow used by the Thunder Beast scouts is the most sophisticated equipment of the Thunder Beast Army. Both the bow body and the arrow body are made of expensive materials. In addition to the slightly insufficient range, the accuracy and penetrating power of the arrows are very strong .

Puff!

The two barbarian cavalrymen rushing to the front seemed to hit an iron wall, blood splashed everywhere, and the snow camel screamed and fell heavily to the ground.

A barbarian's thick neck was pierced by an armor-piercing arrow. The sharp arrow ripped open the artery in the neck, and the blood sprayed out seven or eight feet away, staining the large expanse of snow red.

He lost his life almost instantly.

The sudden fall of the two companions in the front surprised the four barbarian cavalry behind. They absolutely did not expect the enemy's bows and arrows to be so powerful, and they were so powerful even at a distance of one or two hundred steps.

The leather armor they wear comes from snow monsters, which are as tough as copper and iron. The snow camel itself has very thick muscles and fur, which can protect bows and arrows to a certain extent.

It's not that these barbarian cavalrymen have never fought against the scouts of the Beamon orcs, and the abilities of the Thunderbeast scouts obviously far exceeded their experience.

However, these cavalrymen are very experienced in combat. Although they were shocked at the critical moment, they yanked on the reins to control the snow camel to jump high and jump over the companions who rolled on the ground.

However, several sharp arrows flew towards him, and the three barbarians who were caught off guard struck at the same time, followed by falling on the snow.

How can it be so fast? !

The savage who fell to the ground couldn't figure out how the opponent's attack speed was so fast. This time was not enough to change arrows, let alone Zhang Xian aimed.

They didn't know that the Thunder Beast scouts participating in the Northern Expedition were each equipped with a standard riding bow and two hand crossbows. When facing the enemy's charge, they first used the riding bow to intercept from a long distance, and then switched to hand crossbows after getting closer. , can maintain three waves of attacks in a very short time.

The barbarians have never seen how powerful these three waves are, and it is inevitable to suffer.

However, the power of the hand crossbow and crossbow arrows was insufficient, and the three barbarians were not seriously injured. Their natural bravery made them get up quickly, brandishing their maces and continuing to charge forward.

But what greeted them was the third wave of crossbow arrows!

Due to the rapid approach of the thunder beast scouts, the distance between the two sides was shortened to less than fifty steps, and the power of the crossbow arrows increased greatly. The three barbarian warriors were shot by the flying crossbow arrows after only a few steps forward.

The two savages who had been struck in the vitals were killed instantly.

The Thunder Beast scouts usually have extremely strict training, and they are even more proficient at horseback riding and shooting. These scouts have participated in many battles, and their cooperation with each other is very tacit. The six arrogant barbarian cavalry are looking for death when they bumped into each other.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the last remaining barbarian cavalry hurriedly turned the snow camel to escape from the side. His head was not stupid, and he knew that he was looking for death when he went up, and he wanted to pass the news of the enemy back.

But how could the Thunder Beast scouts rushing up give him a chance to escape, as the scout captain yelled, the three scouts rushed up and threw out the noose.

This is the technique of lassoing horses on the grassland. The Thunderbeast scouts learned it specifically to catch live animals. One of the nooses accurately lassoed the barbarian cavalry, and the scouts behind pulled it hard, and immediately pulled it off the hunchback.

The trapped barbarian screamed and tried desperately to break free, but the scout who caught him rushed out and pulled him back and forth on the snow, without giving him a chance to break free.

The other scouts reloaded the hand crossbows, shot and killed the seriously injured barbarians on the ground one by one, and even added arrows to the dead ones to prevent the enemy from cheating.

Finally, a scout jumped off his hunchback, pulled out his dagger and cut off the right ears of the five barbarians and stuffed them into the hide pockets.

The war between the Beamon orcs and the barbarians has lasted for hundreds of years. The Beamon Kingdom has always used the ears of the barbarians as military exploits. These five right ears represent a full five military exploits. According to the standard of the regular army of the kingdom, it is enough Let an ordinary soldier be promoted to the lowest rank of officer!

The scout contact battle lasted for a very short time, ten Thunder Beast scouts easily wiped out the enemy, and captured a prisoner and three intact snow camels, winning the first battle.

The scout captain was very satisfied. After burying the corpses of the enemy and the snow camel on the spot, he led the team to join the main force as quickly as possible.

Leon, who was leading the team to Hailanji, was very happy after learning the news of the scout team's victory. He immediately ordered the team to take a break, and asked the captives for information on the enemy before making a decision.
