Chapter 230 Fierce Battle on the Beach

"Are you asking me?" Harris was greatly moved by the lord's concern. After looking around for the next four weeks, he quickly made a decision: "As your loyal people, of course I will follow you to destroy those hateful people." Murloc! I will fight to protect you, my lord!"

To be alone on this dangerous island is to play with his own life, and Harris would not do it. 【】The strength shown by Roger and the sudden appearance of the mysterious soldiers made the fisherman make up his mind to follow the lord. He knew very well that only in this way could he ensure his safety.

Roger knew exactly what Harris was thinking, but he would not expose the other party, but nodded and agreed that Harris would follow him.

At this time, all the soldiers under Roger had already landed. For the past few days, the Castle Hub had been training soldiers, and the size of the army had reached Roger's previous request.

Because the island is full of dense vegetation, it is not suitable for cavalry troops to operate, so except for the light cavalry squad, the other 285 soldiers are all lined up on the beach at this time.

These fighters were divided into three teams according to different types of troops. Iron spear soldiers, long spear fighters, and crossbowmen were arranged in neat teams, occupying a small beach.

Although Harris has never joined the army, he can also feel a strong sense of oppression and killing intent from these soldiers.The fishermen have also been to the nearby city of Karachi, and have seen the soldiers under the lord Viscount Wood there, but compared with these soldiers under Roger, the gap between those soldiers and the soldiers under Roger is the same as that of valley dwarves and mountain dwarves. Not in the same class at all.

While Harris was looking at the soldiers, Roger had already released a few hippogryphs to keep these familiars on guard in the air.Now he was fighting on the enemy's territory, and it was very important to collect intelligence on the other side, which might determine the outcome of the battle.

Facts proved that Roger's decision was correct. As soon as the Hippogryph flew into the sky, it discovered that a large number of murlocs were gathering from various parts of the island and even the sea to the beach where he was.Although it is difficult to accurately count the number of these murlocs with the IQ of the hippogryph, Roger estimates that there are at least several hundred of them.

"Have I come to the murloc's lair?" Roger muttered to himself in the face of the unexpected number of murlocs.However, a few hundred murlocs were not enough to scare Roger. He immediately ordered the soldiers to form a defensive formation based on a large reef to deal with the imminent attack of the murlocs.

The soldiers had just lined up, and the first batch of murlocs had already appeared in Roger's field of vision.This group of murlocs obviously came from all over the island. Holding simple weapons in their hands, they gathered at a place less than thirty steps away from Roger, and opened their bloody mouths to send a threat to Roger. screamed, but didn't rush up immediately.

Obviously, these murlocs already knew that these humans were not easy enemies to deal with, so they were waiting, waiting for more of the same kind to arrive before launching a deadly attack.

Although the murlocs are willing to wait, Roger won't let them.Facing these huddled murlocs, Roger waved his hand and ordered the crossbowmen to attack.

Immediately, arrows rained down on the unsuspecting murlocs.The murlocs had hard scales, but they couldn't resist the attacks of crossbowmen at such a short distance.

These murlocs huddled together, and the crossbowmen could shoot at targets with little need for aiming.After a shower of arrows, dozens of murlocs were shot, and the arrows penetrated deeply into the bodies of these guys. More than a dozen murlocs were killed instantly. He has also lost his combat effectiveness.The wounded murlocs lay on the ground and wailed in pain, the stinky blood flowed from the wounds onto the beach, spreading panic among their kind.

The murlocs were stunned by the sudden attack, and they all fled to farther places.How could Roger let go of this opportunity?Immediately let the crossbowmen take another round of cover shooting, and at the same time let a team of sword fighters rush forward to chase down the fleeing murlocs.

Under the blow of the arrows, the murlocs were all focused on running for their lives, and they didn't have the courage to face the enemy at all.The longsword warrior rushed forward and cut down a dozen murlocs who fell at the back, causing these guys to run away on the beach even more desperately. Some murlocs who were in a panic rushed directly to the sea, trying to use the cover of sea water to escape .

The effect of this charge was not bad, but Roger worried that the soldiers would be dangerous if they went too deep alone, so he quickly recalled the captain sword warrior.Of course, on the way back, he didn't forget to ask the longsword fighters to destroy the murlocs who were wounded by the arrows.These guys lay on the beach and screamed loudly, and the high-pitched screams were really annoying.

But Roger soon had no time to care about the screams of the murlocs, and soon more and more murlocs gathered on the beach.The number of these guys far exceeds Roger's previous estimate. Now the beach, the grass by the beach, and even the sea are full of murlocs.Looking around, there were ugly murloc heads everywhere, and Roger estimated that the number of these guys was close to four digits.

Although the crossbowman didn't stop attacking, for such a large number of murlocs at this time, the casualties of more than a dozen of the same kind at a time were nothing. "Many people are brave" is not only suitable for humans, but also suitable for these murlocs.

As the number of murlocs increased to a certain level, Roger's hundreds of soldiers were no longer deterrent to them.A scream sounded from nowhere, and these ugly creatures rushed towards Roger with a tacit understanding.

For Roger, who has experienced many battles, the attack of the thousand murlocs is not enough to scare him.Under Roger's order, the iron spear soldiers who had been waiting for a long time formed a wall of death made of sharp spear points in front of the formation, ready to deal a devastating blow to any incoming enemy.

At this moment, the murlocs, contrary to their previous timidity, rushed over screaming, and directly slammed into the deadly iron spear.The sharp spear points pierced through the bodies of these murlocs in an instant, turning them into corpses strung on the spears, and the real battle finally began.

The murlocs screamed and attacked, while Roger's soldiers held their formation without giving an inch.In the face of enemies that are several times your own, whether you can maintain your formation is the key to victory.As long as the soldiers can maintain a tight formation, they can withstand the attacks of the murlocs and at the same time protect themselves well.But if the formation breaks up or someone gets out of formation, it's all over.

A few Iron Spear soldiers in the front row were rushed out of the formation by the swarming murlocs. Like stones thrown into the sea, they quickly disappeared among the murlocs.Fortunately, such situations are rare, and the vast majority of soldiers can stick to their respective positions, keeping the formation almost perfect.Although the murlocs charged several times, they made no progress other than leaving more corpses in front of the formation.Roger believed that if the battle situation continued like this, he only needed to pay a small price to wipe out all these murlocs.
