The Swordsman of Faerûn

Chapter 396 The Battle Between the Sand Lizards and Humans

Ethiopian sand lizards are natural predators. It can be said that they completely suppress human beings in terms of physical talent. They are extremely powerful, run faster than humans, and have stronger physical strength than humans. The scale armor, its defensive effect is by no means inferior to the best cowhide armor, and it also has a large tail with comprehensive functions and excellent offense and defense. It can be said that it is a crushing existence.

Of course, if you have to find out why the sand lizards are superior in overall physical fitness, they are far inferior to humans in terms of population power. After all, the sand lizards have no worse brains than humans, and they also have advantages in certain intuitive instincts. , then we can only quote a military strategist genius from a Romantic country on Earth, and explain it with a broken wheel theory of cavalry combat power.

One or two Ethiopian sand lizards can easily deal with three or five heavily armed humans, because they are stronger, quicker to react, better in physical strength, they also have natural claws and teeth, tough skin and multi-functional tail.

However, ten humans fighting in an formation are enough to make the same number of Ethiopian sand lizards pay a heavy price; fifty well-trained humans will not be afraid of a hundred Ethiopian sand lizards, and a hundred can Beat the same amount.When this number expands to three hundred, humans can even easily defeat the doubled Ethiopian sand lizards.

This is the advantage of human beings. With the addition of tactics, discipline, formation and morale, the power of clusters is so amazing.

Thousands of years of war experience and lessons have made the Ethiopian sand lizards always inclined to raid and ambush tactics.Just like what happened in Ping An Town.

A group of ferocious sand lizardmen came in with a sudden sunset. They descended from the sky on a highly mobile spider-eating beast. Originally, the desert humans were at the time when their defenses were the most lax, as if humans in normal areas were about to wake up in the morning.

It's just that the Ethiopian sand lizards are not very lucky. Their surprise attack happened to hit the hunting team in Ping'an Town, and they were about to set off to hunt down the "escaping" foreigners.

In the initial contact stage, the human team lost several people by surprise, but the Ethiopian sand lizards were not having a good time either. The mayor of Ping'an Town, Ilsa, relied on his outstanding personal combat power to cooperate with the people around him. After killing almost the same number of sandlizards, other humans began to form an formation under Irsa's command. They formed a small battle formation of nearly 20 people. The melee soldiers with shields were in front, and the spears The halberds are in the second row, and the crossbowmen and some auxiliary personnel are behind.

The alien dwarf Badr was also in the battle formation. He was wearing bark-like armor and held a huge wooden warhammer in his hand. The hammer head was a wooden tumor with natural spikes.For some reason (the dwarves really don't know the reason), the dwarves have recently lost most of their magical abilities, and only a few powers that do not require the help of the magic net can still be used reluctantly, but this does not mean that the dwarves have lost their combat effectiveness.

As a dwarf, Badr was born with superior strength than the Ethiopian Sand Lizard, which allowed him to play freely even if he stood in the front row of the battle formation. Of course, he used to stand in the back row as magic support.A reckless sand lizard rushed up while the crossbowman was loading arrows. The dwarves or other front-line fighters did not move rashly, while the spearmen in the second row thrust forward with their spears until the sand lizard turned sideways. While dodging, Badr suddenly swung the big wooden hammer and slammed the sand lizard on the head, not only crushing a piece of the sand lizard's forehead, but also opened a few holes in the sand lizard's head with the hard wooden thorns. There was a blood hole the size of a wine cup, and even a wooden thorn was broken deep in the wound, and a stream of blood spurted out along the hollow wooden thorn, endlessly.

The poor Sand Lizard didn't even have time to let out a wail, so he flew upside down involuntarily, and then lay down in the sand, convulsing before dying.At this time, the loaded crossbowman immediately started shooting, and shot and killed another sand lizard who wanted to take the opportunity to charge on the spot. The barbed crossbow bolts coated with special poison had an excellent killing effect on them.

The Ethiopian Sandlizard raiding team of more than 30 people quickly paid a dozen corpses in front of the humans who formed a battle formation, which made the remaining Sandlizards extremely anxious, and they couldn't help turning their eyes to the On the head of the praying mantis who never took part in the battle.

Three fools, suspected to be from the sword-winged mantis family, a full-fledged member of the Salamanders, an ancient warrior who woke up from his long sleep in place of Morocco III who died unexpectedly.Sanyu's eyes have never stayed on the human battlefield. Its cold compound eyes have been watching the sand dunes outside the town, the place where there are faint figures, its old enemy, its fetters, and its Masaka. There, it is being challenged and challenged.

Sanyu has the tenacity of a fighter, the forbearance of an assassin, and the cunning of a magician (yes, a magician, not a warlock). It will never take the initiative to fight William to the death without being sure.So Sanyu rejected William's "invitation" without hesitation, and turned his attention to the stubbornly resisting human battle formation.

A pair of scimitars suddenly appeared in the hands of Sanyu, the mantis monster. It held two lifting knives in its backhands and walked slowly towards the battlefield.It crossed the Ethiopian sand lizards with vicious looks one after another, and approached the human battle line step by step. An invisible pressure slowly rose in the hearts of all human beings. The human archer holding the steel crossbow couldn't bear it at first. Raise the steel crossbow and shoot at Sanyu.

Sanyu didn't seem to be aware of it, but his footsteps were slightly wrong, and the crossbow arrow that shot quickly passed by, but accidentally injured an unlucky Ethiopian sand lizard.

At this time, all human beings realized that the mantis-like monster in front of them was a difficult existence to deal with. Ilsa, who was also at the forefront of the battle, suddenly let out a roar that shook the sky—[Battle Roar], using his own The anger of the Communist Party of China is fueled, and the courage of comrades-in-arms is inspired with loud shouts.

Baldr, who faced the Three Fools, was the first to make a move. He threw out the ghost thorn seed that he had been reluctant to use without hesitation, a strange plant seed with both lethality and binding ability. Great tactical advantage.

What made the dwarves stunned was that the ferocious mantis monster just swung the scimitar lightly, like playing table tennis, and bounced all the ghost thorn seeds back into the human battle formation.

Then, it was the human oolong moment that all Ethiopian sand lizards loved to see. Large groups of ferocious thorn bushes emerged in the middle of the human battle formation, and the flexible and terrifying ghost thorn vines rolled up many people who were caught off guard. The dense poisonous thorns on the ground made these victims scream, and their faces turned blue and purple at a speed visible to the naked eye, which was the poison of the ghost thorns at work.

The human beings who were not affected by the ghost thorns hurriedly fled in all directions. They have cooperated with Baldr countless times, and they are well aware of the characteristics of the ghost thorns. Before the vitality of the seeds is exhausted, they will continue to grow and expand.

As a result, the human battle formation was shattered, and the Ethiopian sand lizards, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, immediately rushed forward with cheers.
