The Journey of the Demon Hunter

"But what about you?" the elf ranger asked: "What do you want? Put on the ring of power again? Become a king and a lord?"

Zelin held the hilt of the ebony blade at his waist with one hand, and stroked the carving on the hilt with his fingers: "I have encountered more temptations than you thought. I really don't understand that after seeing so many I think the Ring of Strength is still the most tempting thing."

"Because there is only this, you almost got the trick."

"Maybe." Zelin shrugged: "Anyway, what I am doing now has nothing to do with the ring of power. No, maybe there is, otherwise I might not take the initiative to enter this muddy water. I would like to know if I don't come. At this point, if you ignore what is happening here, you will feel relieved that the ring of strength has not affected me? No, if that is the case, I would rather hope you see that the ring of strength affects my decision and let me decide to come. Do these things."

Some fires gradually appeared in the distant forest, looming in the woods.

"They are here."

"Can you answer me a question before the fight?"

"As long as I know."

"In this world, you only came three times, encountered three crises, and achieved what you are now, becoming one of Rohan’s most popular guests, becoming a friend of the elves, a few people from Hobbit’s homeland, Yamashita The guest of the kingdom, the most trusted advisor of the lord of the valley city. But why in your world, you did not achieve such an achievement, is it because of the dragon disease of Lone Mountain Gold? Is it because the Ring of Power made you ambitious? "

There were only two of them here, and the flickering firelight at the foot of the mountain made every commander and captain walk up to the hillside, ready to respond to the enemy.

"I have failed, even when I crossed the portal for the first time." He sighed: "I failed. When the blood moon comes, I can't do anything, even what I tried before. Everything, I think it’s safe for them to stay in one place, but in fact it’s just that the real disaster hasn’t come yet. I failed and I had to go back in despair. There are not many things I can do, but now there is no Only after I have fewer helpers and friends can I get to where I am now. In the past, I was just a person. This is not my success, but the reason why I have so many friends around me. But in my world, how can mutants meet? What friends are there? Okay, they are all here."

At the foot of the mountain, the Luen people walked out of the forest, and phalanxes holding torches appeared one by one in the clearing between the forest and the foot of the mountain.

The soldiers behind the defense line stared at the enemy below. Some militiamen swallowed and breathed deeply to relieve their tension. This was the first time they took the weapon and went to the battlefield, and they encountered such a war. But people did not lose their confidence. Iowyn stood behind the line of defense holding the king's flag, dressed in chain mail and stayed with the soldiers. Many people know that their Majesty the King at the mouth of the Eisen will soon come to assist them. All they have to do is to block the offensive tonight.

The elf soldier looked up straight ahead, with his eyes straight ahead, without a word or even any movement, like a statue standing on a mountain road.

"If as before, if Virginia is here, I don't think these Luen people will be able to rush to the first section of the hill before her magic power is exhausted." Zelin said jokingly: "But if I am alone, It’s certainly impossible to stand in place to block so many enemies. So you see, maybe I have also got some practical tools and props in different worlds, which may be improved in strength, but people I know have helped. People are my strength to go to the present. Get ready, Altarel, wait a while, we are going to go around to create some chaos for the Luen people in the rear."

"For example?"

"When there were no enemies behind them, the phalanx at the back was attacked from the dark. You are the commander of the Ruen people, what would you do?" Zelin asked, "Separate soldiers to guard against. Back, go to the forest to investigate? As long as he hesitates, he can relieve the pressure on the front. Take your arrow." As he said, Zelin took out the crossbow behind him: "I found you on a griffon. Use a crossbow and arrow. The long sword is much more convenient."

"We can compare it." Altariel raised her head with a little pride in her voice: "I won't kill more enemies than whoever kills you. That's not fair, because I must win. We can compare , Should I find the enemy’s commander first, or you should find the enemy’s position first."

Zelin was silent for a few seconds, and filled the revolver with crossbow arrows smeared with pine resin and pasted with talisman paper: "Let's be the first."

Chapter 2454: Battle of the Black Man Temple

The Luen people lined up in a loose formation and approached the foot of the mountain, and the frontmost square was only less than 30 meters away from the slope.

"Ready!"

Harda raised his sword.

"Raise the arrow, aim at the enemy who is not holding the shield behind, and shoot." Poromo said: "Destroy the enemy as much as possible!"

"Stay steady!"

The Luen people at the forefront raised their shields one after another, and the narrow hillside forced them to gradually become denser.

"Let the arrow!"

The elf archer released the bowstring, and the thrown arrow disappeared into the night. After a few seconds, the Luen people behind fell down like harvested rice. So the remaining enemies also raised their shields, even if they were hundreds of meters away from the hillside.

The first Luen people walked into the hillside, raised their shields above their heads, and walked up the hillside step by step. The first line of defense was on the third section of the mountain road, and soon the mountain road was crowded with soldiers in brown armor.

Zelin looked at the battlefield below and raised his hand to Harda. The latter immediately understood. According to the previously discussed plan, he made a move gesture to the other team of archers. The archer immediately entered the wooden platform that had been set up in advance.

When the Loenian striker passed the first corner, the archer ambushing on the upper side immediately started shooting. All enemy shields were blocked overhead and directly in front, and there was no protection on the exposed sides. After a volley of fire, many Ruen people screamed and fell off the narrow mountain road. The remaining enemies turned their shields to protect their sides, but this allowed the original tight shield to be exposed. The archer waiting above immediately found the opportunity to shoot at the gap of the square. Some Luen people fell down with arrows, and were stepped on by others behind them. From time to time, there was a little muffled noise in the phalanx.

"They will be near the line of defense soon."

Eowyn was next to Zelin, looking down at the battlefield: "Sorcerer, when do you use your flames?"

"Stay steady, Your Highness." Zelin stared at the battlefield below blankly: "When I was young, I often heard some knights say that the least mistake that should be made on the battlefield is to pay back When he didn't come forward, he threw his hole cards out in a panic. The enemy hasn't started attacking, and now rushing shots will only scare them away, and it will be difficult for them to fall into the trap a second time."

A small number of Luen crossbowmen counterattacked, but the effect of shooting overhead was very poor. Most of the arrows did not hit the target, and the rest were blocked by the guards of the Golden Temple who were waiting. These guards stood on the edge of the mountain road with their shields, like an impenetrable iron wall, blocking all the arrow attacks below.

"Stick to the line of defense, soldiers!" Poromo stood behind the bunker, standing with the guards. He raised his saber and shouted loudly: "Grasp the spear and raise the shield. This will be a great victory that will be celebrated in the future!"

The Luen people were harassed by the elven archers on the hillside. These excellent archers can always shoot arrows into the gaps between the shields, making the chaotic formation that was originally attacked by the bow and arrow even more flawed. Some crossbowmen attacked the elves but were discovered. Then some arrows flew into the flat ground below. After shooting down the scattered crossbowmen, the remaining archers immediately hid and stopped attacking to avoid being discovered.

"They have very few shooters." Eowyn observed after observing, "Maybe we can order the guards of the Golden Temple to enter the defense line? They are the best infantry here."

"No. Don't relax, Your Highness." Zelin's face was solemn: "This is just a test, but if we want to repel the enemy, the most important thing is in the three teams of elven archers. Protecting them is the most important thing. As long as they are still there, the Luen people will definitely pay a great price."

When the Luen people reached the third section of the hillside, Luen Pioneer, who could not bear the shooting of bows and arrows, immediately put down his shield, held his spear, and charged towards the defense line.

"Let the arrow!"

The archers of the third team staying behind the defensive line released their bows at the same time, and the Luen people at the front fell in groups, tripping their unreacted companions behind them. The remaining Luen people did not hesitate, they strode past the fallen comrades in arms and continued to attack. But before they were close to the line of defense, the spearman hiding behind the bunker stood up suddenly, and the spear in his hand thrust outward. Many Ruen people were hit, and the spewing blood splashed on the bunker, staining the rocks and the ground.

"Forward!" Poromo swung his sword, and the strong infantry holding a shield and axe crossed the spearman, forming a slanted shield wall above the bunker with the shield. The spearman was behind them, constantly attacking the dense crowd outside the bunker from the gap between the shields.

Zelin observed the Luen spears on the road. In the previous battle, he found that the Luen standard spears were about one and five meters in length. So he asked Eowyn to order the soldiers to cut down the branches near the Black Man Temple, lengthen their spears, and distribute some of the carbine and lances used to deal with the cavalry to the spearmen. This is to ensure that when the Luen's spearman is blocked by a spiked bunker and cannot attack, the Rohan's spear can pierce the enemy.

In this narrow place, length can play a big advantage.

The Luen people also attacked forward with their shields, trying to block the spear that pierced the bunker, while the remaining Luen people used an axe to chop the spikes on the rock bunker. Many spikes were quickly cut off and flattened. The three teams of elven archers kept shooting at the enemy from different directions. On the mountain road, the Luen people left many corpses every step they made. However, the Ruen people's offensive did not waver because of this. They had an advantage in number, and the dozens of soldiers lost at the beginning didn't mean much.

When the spikes of the bunker were cut off, more Luen people rushed forward. Some Luen people grabbed the spear that was pierced out, and began to compete with the Rohan people behind the bunker for weapons, or when the spear was pierced out, they used a short ax to cut the spear handle. The remaining Luen people approached the bunker, raised their spears, aimed at the gap in the shield wall and pierced in.

A Rohan was stabbed, and two spearmen were stabbed in the chest and fell. But immediately a new soldier came up. Polomo was holding a dagger, behind the shield wall, he noticed that a Luen climbed up to the bunker, and through the gap he saw a calf in boots stepping on the bunker.

"Ready to shoot!"

He shouted to the elf archer above the **** behind him. The elves froze for a moment, and immediately bent their bows and arrows, aiming at the line of defense.

The sturdy soldier with the shield flushed with red cheeks and exhausted all his strength, pushing and hugging the enemy opposite the bunker to maintain the shield wall. Their hatchets are hung around their waists and are useless. They both raised shields with both hands to protect their comrades behind the bunker.

Several Luen people climbed onto the big shield, trying to attack the Rohan guards below with their swords.

"Let the arrow!"

The Luen man who was shot slid down the tower shield. The blood stained the white horse on the shield. One Luen man turned over, but was shot in mid-air and fell to the ground. Then he was swarmed by the Rohan soldiers. Kill.

Polomo took advantage of the pierced spear to retract, and kept poking outward with his short sword. The screams fluctuated with each other, and the enemy whose calf was chopped off fell on the bunker, and then was stabbed in the head and chest by more spears.

"Aim to the rear and shoot freely!"

Harda raised his sword and pointed it down at the enemy who had just entered the mountain road. There, the loose Luen phalanx gradually became denser, and the archers hardly needed to aim to focus on the enemies below. When the Luen people move up the hillside, Harda’s archers can shoot them in the back from diagonally above, and when the Luen people turn around and defend their backs, another team of archers aim at the first section and the first section. The corner between the two sections of mountain road threatened their front. Under the elite archery skills of the archers, in just a short time, the people of Luen left nearly a hundred corpses.

"The line of defense is held!" Eowyn exhaled for a long time. When the Luen pioneer contacted the line of defense, she almost held her breath: "All of them are assembled in front of the line of defense. This is a good opportunity. Wizard!"

A civilian with a clay pot filled with oil was awaiting orders.

"No, it's not the time yet." Zelin shook his head again. He looked at the open space below. More than two thousand Loen soldiers were distributed in the open space, waiting to join the next offensive: "Tonight has just begun."
