Chapter 347: Better Reconnaissance Needed
Soon, ice formed on the hammer handle, and the cold air rushed straight into Orric's hands.

When Hardy had fought with others in the past, his opponent would usually be forced to drop his weapon after he swung his sword at them. However, this tactic did not work on the dwarf.

The cold air rushed to Orric's hands, but Orric acted as if nothing had happened. He still held the hammer handle firmly with both hands and smashed it towards Hardy.

Hardy drew back his sword to block, and there was a loud crisp sound. His one-handed sword could not block the two-handed hammer at all. The hammer almost made his sword slip out of his hand. He spun to the side for several circles before he neutralized the power of the hammer.

Seeing that Orrick was about to hit him with another hammer, Hardy quickly stomped his foot on the deck and cast [Ice Ring]. An ice ring spread out from the center of his foot to the surroundings.

With a snap, Orrick's feet were frozen to the deck.

The ice ring continued to spread outward, freezing the feet of the dwarves, boarmen, and kobolds on the deck.

The boarmen and the kobolds had their feet frozen and could only cry out. They squatted down anxiously and hit the ice with their weapons in their hands, trying to free their feet.

But the dwarves were all under no pressure. They just gently pulled their feet upwards, and the ice broke, and they easily pulled their feet out of the ice.

I can’t freeze it! I can’t freeze it at all!
Orrick laughed and hit Hardy with the hammer again.

Hardy felt that he could not take his two-handed hammer, so he had to dodge again.

"Damn it, a guy with such high physical attack but strong magic resistance, how can we beat such a guy?"

Hardy couldn't help but curse out loud: "Damn it, what an unreasonable race."

Orric laughed: "You humans are the unreasonable race. You only give birth to so many children in your lifetime. The whole Middle-earth is full of humans. If you also have a strong fighting talent, is there any fairness in this world?"

Hardy: "There is no such thing as fairness or unfairness between races. It's just the survival of the fittest."

Orrick: "Oh, you said that, so why are you complaining that it's unfair?"

Hadi: “…”

Orric: "If you really want to talk about unfairness, the elves are the bug! Everything that other races can do, the elves can do, but what the elves can do, other races may not be able to do."

Hadi: “…”

He was speechless when he heard Oric say, "Oh, that's not right. Elves can't tell dirty jokes. They are too self-righteous to even tell a dirty joke. No wonder their birth rate is lower than that of dwarves."

Hadi was angry: "We are fighting. We are fighting. You are still thinking about dirty jokes while fighting? Who are you looking down on?"

Orrick: "Dwarves love to chatter, don't you know? What we hate most is silence."

The two men were fighting with their hands and words. Of course, it was mainly Orrick who was talking. Hardy was just passively accepting the mental attack and had to listen to his constant trash talk while fighting.

At this time, the soldiers who followed Hardy's ice trail were also boarding the ship. They either climbed up by climbing the ice blocks made by Hardy, or climbed up by grabbing the side of the ship.

But the other dwarves, boarmen, and kobolds on the boat were not vegetarians. The kobolds picked up their crossbows and fired at the soldiers running over the river.

The crossbows of the kobolds caused great losses to even the ignorant werewolves. The quality of human warriors was even worse than that of the werewolves, and they were shot by the crossbows, resulting in heavy casualties.

Several soldiers finally climbed onto the boat. As soon as they climbed over the side and stood on the deck, they saw a boar man waving a sword and shield, rushing towards them. The shield pushed forward with a "bang" sound, and the soldier was pushed back into the river from the boat.

There was a fierce battle on the side of the ship, but Hardy's men were ultimately unable to rush forward.

Hardy himself was held back by Orrick and could not achieve any results.

He looked around and saw that the raid had failed...

If the fight continues, I will die here.

He had no choice but to fight and retreat. When he reached the side of the boat, he leaped back and jumped back into the river. The moment his feet touched the river surface, the surface froze into ice again and supported him.

He opened the [Ice Path] and rushed towards the shore. The soldiers who were thrown into the river from the boat also quickly climbed onto the ice road and evacuated to the shore.

The soldiers on the various iceboats and ice blocks began to retreat. In a short while, the Knights of the Poplar rushed ashore and disappeared into the woods on the shore.

The people on the boat did not dare to chase after him.

They might be able to fight on the ship, but once they got ashore, the few sailors on the ship were not enough to take on the Knights.

Orrick shouted loudly: "Hurry to Sunshine City, speed up, and report what happened to Her Majesty the Queen and His Majesty the King, quickly."

Four large ships, protecting the Dark Church's ships, flew quickly to Sunshine City...

A few hours later, Zhang Jingyi, Elizabeth, Antonio and others gathered together. Ace, a priest of the Dark Church, stood in front of the church with Henry.

Henry had a depressed expression on his face. "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, we were attacked by the Poplar Knights and suffered heavy losses. Nearly half of the 100 skeleton soldiers brought to Sunshine City were smashed to pieces. Some of the food on the ship was also burned, and the mana buckets were smashed, and several dark magic items were destroyed. Fortunately, Orrick arrived with four large warships, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."

Ace also helped, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the enemy's vanguard did not attack the city, but went to fight guerrilla warfare to cut off our supply lines. This is a major event that we must guard against."

Antonio was a little embarrassed. A few days ago, Her Majesty the Queen ordered him to fight against the Knights of the Poplars. As a result, he led his troops out of the city and headed east, but he didn't find the enemy...

In a blink of an eye, the enemy ran to the river behind the city and intercepted the supply team.

"It seems that we need to put more effort into the scouting direction."

Her Majesty the Queen said, "My teacher, we may need to release more magic war eagles to closely monitor a larger area, otherwise the enemy may attack our supply line again at any time."

Antonio: "We are a new army. We don't have many magicians, and we can only release a limited number of magic war eagles! The elves and tauren druids who have the ability to fly are unwilling to help fight... We obviously don't have enough manpower for flying reconnaissance."

Zhang Jingyi sat nearby and listened, thinking to himself: The biggest pain point in medieval Europe was the lack of manpower. They always lacked manpower to solve any problem that required manpower. Not to mention that reconnaissance war eagles needed magicians to release them, and the number of magicians was even more scarce.

Well, at times like this, we have to use technology!
