king of the castle

Chapter 124 Night Attack

Knowing that a fat man was approaching the camp with a group of people, Roger couldn't help but sighed, "Hey...I didn't expect to see him for a while, this fat man is a lot bolder!"

However, Roger's expression quickly became serious. According to the message sent by the Hippogryph, Marcus was advancing at an unusually fast speed!

Roger still remembered that when he arrived at the fat man in Oak Town, he was panting and sweating profusely even after two quick steps. 【】But now Marcus's speed is far beyond the level of normal people. Roger is convinced that if he does not have the strength of the black iron senior, he will not be able to run the current Marcus.

"Has this fat man been pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger?" Roger sighed secretly as he got out of the tent, asking Phil to inform the others to get ready for battle.

At this time, Markas and the others were still some distance away from the camp, and Phil, who was in charge of the sentry, didn't notice anything unusual.However, the knight has always obeyed Roger's orders without any doubt, and this time was no exception, and soon called everyone else to prepare for battle.

While everyone was preparing to fight, Roger also summoned all the soldiers in the secondary space of the castle.After meeting Marcus this time, Roger found that his body voice was full of weirdness, so he didn't dare to take this battle lightly.

Recently, Roger came to build a primary animal taming farm and tamed a few hippogryphs, which really consumed a lot of soul power, and Roger foresaw that the soul power would be very nervous in the future.So he has started to consciously save his soul power, and has not trained soldiers at full speed in the past few days.Right now, all the troops that Roger can mobilize are only about thirty iron spearmen, the same number of longsword warriors, and about twenty crossbowmen.

Not to mention that these soldiers are less than a hundred, but their combat power is already very impressive, and compared with Markas and his men, they also have an advantage in number.Even so, Roger still felt a little uneasy, feeling that tonight's battle would not be as easy as it appeared on the surface.Roger knew how brave Markas was. If the fat man wasn't certain of winning, he would definitely not dare to take the initiative to attack.

With such thoughts, Roger dared not be negligent.Before the enemy arrived, he let everyone hide in the woods beside the camp, leaving only an empty camp to lure the enemy, intending to catch Markus and his men by surprise.

Hippogryph has been hovering over Markas and the others, constantly reporting their movements to Roger, allowing him to know the movements of the enemy well.This made Roger secretly glad that the primary animal training farm was built in time.If there is no hippogryph to call the police in time tonight, it is very likely that the other party will be caught off guard.

Markas and the others came very quickly, and Roger didn't have to wait too long, when he saw a lot of figures vaguely appearing in the dark, and they were quickly approaching the camp.

Among these figures, a fat fellow stood out in particular.Although Roger knew that Markas ran fast from the hippogryph before, he was still a little shocked after seeing it with his own eyes.It is unbelievable that such a fat person can run at such a fast speed, which subverts all laws of physics.But when he thought that Torenzo was a magical world, Roger was soon relieved.

Markas and the others came very quickly, and rushed to the vicinity of the camp in a blink of an eye.These guys rushed to the camp without a word, and at the same time threw the javelins they had prepared long ago.

A series of muffled sounds of piercing through the air sounded, and the javelin accurately hit several tents in the camp, and all of them easily pierced through the tents and shot in.After this scene, everyone, including Roger, was a little thankful, thanks to the early preparations, otherwise just this round of attack would have caused serious casualties.

Markas' men didn't pause after throwing their javelins, and then rushed into the camp and hacked at the tent.From approaching the camp, throwing javelins to chopping down tents, these guys' actions were not scattered at all, and they were obviously very skilled in doing these things, looking like experienced thieves.

Marcus, who was slightly behind, showed a smug smile on his skilled movements.He believed that Roger had no chance of surviving such an attack, and he finally took revenge.

However, Marcus didn't have time to be complacent for too long, and his men had already found that the tent was empty.At the moment when they were in a daze because of the accident, Roger gave an order to attack the crossbowman who had been waiting for a long time.

Although it was night, Markas and his men by the campfire were all obvious targets.Longbowmen and light crossbowmen could easily aim and shoot their arrows simultaneously.

It was very difficult to spot the incoming arrows in such darkness, even if Markas and his men had dark vision far better than ordinary people.They only heard a sharp piercing sound, and then many people's bodies were shot through by arrows.

The woods where Roger and the others hid were only a few dozen steps away from the camp. The power of the longbow and light crossbow at such a distance was astonishing.Quite a few arrows still survived after shooting through the target's body, and even directly nailed them to the ground.The cries and curses of pain came and went, turning the surrounding camp into a chaotic world.

However, Markas' men reacted very quickly, and immediately determined the direction of the arrow, and rushed towards the woods screaming.When facing a crossbowman, you must rush to the opponent as soon as possible, only in this way can you launch a counterattack in time.

However, after launching the first round of attacks, the crossbowmen did not stop there, but immediately launched a second round of firing.The charging enemy was hit hard again, and many people were shot in the face by arrows, and fell to the ground without saying a word.

"Haha, these guys have been beaten badly!" Witnessing such a scene, Chris said happily: "We can get rid of these guys soon!"

While everyone else was optimistic, Roger looked grave.

Perhaps when Chris and the others came, the crossbowman launched a fatal blow to Markas and his men. Logically speaking, many enemies should have been wiped out, but Roger knew that was not the case at all.Up to now, he has not absorbed any soul power, which means that none of the guys who were pierced by arrows or even nailed to the ground died!This situation was so weird that Roger felt an ominous premonition.

"Be careful, these guys are not human!" Roger hurriedly reminded others, lest they lose their lives because of carelessness.

Just as Roger warned Chris and others, Marcus also yelled hoarsely: "What are you waiting for, show your real strength and kill these humans!"

With Marcus screaming, the situation on the battlefield changed unexpectedly.
