Chaos Crown

PS: This is the first update today!
Aaron gave the order, and the Ninth Shepherd Legion pressed forward one after another. The 1000-strong legion marched forward, with armor like a mirror, spears like a forest, and murderous. Every shepherd soldier wore iron-leather armor. A row of spearmen lined up, and the sword and shield soldiers behind them advanced as a whole. The crossbowmen covered the regular army from the flanks, ready to release their anger at any time.

In the forest, crossbowmen often only have one chance to shoot when encountering an enemy.

Behind the regular army are three elite troops.

There are not many people in the magic shooter battalion. It is Aaron's financial limit to raise more than 100 snow elf magic shooters. Under the leadership of the leader Leierta, the snow elves are ready to shock the world and let the whole country recognize the snow elves again. It's amazing.

It is worth mentioning that the flag of the Snow Elf Demon Shooter Battalion was designed by themselves - the embroidery of a big fish caught by a fishing rod.

Most of the more than 100 people in Doherty's Great Sword Battalion wield two-handed great swords and long knives, and some use giant axes or two-handed giant hammers, but everyone without exception is a master of giant weapons. The champion of Khorne has decided to regard Aaron as Lord, now each of these orcs and barbarians is eager to hunt enough heads to sacrifice to their blood gods.

This is also shown in the standard of Doherty's Great Sword Battalion - a bright red skull and a two-handed sword.

Under the leadership of Maximian, the Black Eagle Guards lined up near the Tzeentch sky patrol chariot. The Black Eagle Guards in black robes and armor were only solemn. Like the snow elves in the Battalion, they looked at people with their nostrils. These elite soldiers in plate armor and black robes just watched everything silently and coldly, as if they were outsiders.

In the forest, Havel, Ramsey, and Norrington each led a group of soldiers approaching slowly.

"It's a gnoll!"

Ramsay first said: "Be careful, there are wolf man berserkers!"

The Shepherd Legion team saw the camp of the Jackals—more than 30 Jackals were gathering together, and the leader of the Jackals was holding a huge chain hammer, and he spit out hot air from his mouth. People have lined up to prepare for the battle, and the corpses of some adventurers are piled up near the camp, and the flesh and blood on the bones have been eaten away by the hungry gnolls.

"It's the abyss gnoll."

Norrington spoke first, with a look of seriousness on his face.

Abyss gnolls, gnolls blessed by the power of the king of gnolls Yeenogu, this shows that there must be at least one gnoll priest among this group of gnolls.

The god of gnolls, Yenoghu, is a demon lord from the 422nd layer of the bottomless abyss. He is the god of all gnolls. His dream is to establish a main material plane that belongs only to gnolls. It is the food stored by the jackals.

"I flail when my neighbor stores up grain, and my neighbor is my granary."

——Yenoghu, God of Gnolls

For other races, Yeenogu, the god of gnolls, is an evil god in a complete sense, the kind who is the chief of all evils.

But for the wolf people, Yeenogu is their patron saint, and the only existence they can ask for protection. He is a good god, a father god, and a truly selfless and great god.

So in many cases it is very difficult to fairly evaluate a god's position.

Seeing the presence of abyss gnolls, even Havel, who likes to be funny the most, put away the smile on his face. He took a deep breath and gestured towards the soldiers behind him.

Ready, salvo!
The shepherds and soldiers collectively pulled the trigger, and the arrows swept across the forest full of shouts of killing, pierced through the leather armor of the wolf men, and shot right through the leader of the wolf men!

As soon as the strong Gnoll soldier raised his hand axe, the crossbow bolt forged by the dwarf blacksmith pierced its leather armor. As soon as it let out a miserable howl, humans came to kill it!
"Hey! Ha!"

The soldiers of the Shepherd's Legion mustered up their courage, and according to the established tactics in the training, they lined up and stabbed their spears forward.

The simplest and most common spear pierced through the Jackal man's leather armor, and penetrated deeply into the Wolf man's chest. Black blood spurted out, and the Wolf man warrior fell to the ground.

A recruit who just enlisted in the army was very excited. He thought to himself that fighting is so simple?
"I killed? Bob, did you see that? I killed..."

"Hey~"

This moment of stupefaction, a flaw appeared in the long spear array, and the wolf man's counterattack followed, a poisoned arrow pierced the young man's throat, killing him on the spot.

The blood of their compatriots greatly stimulated the shepherds and soldiers. Many of them stared blankly at the death of their comrades who had been training together before, and a few recruits showed shaken expressions on their faces.

This is real war, not a drill!

"Idiot!" At this moment, the purple dragon knight Ramsay's roar spread throughout the entire army: "How do you usually train? Soldiers, stand firm and raise your hands! Insert your weapons into the enemy's body! If you don't want to die, do as I tell you!"

The roar of the purple dragon knight finally awakened the soldiers as if they had just woken up from a dream. The muscle memory formed by long-term training was awakened. Relying on instinct, they formed a tight spear formation and advanced intensively. Whenever someone fell, someone would immediately attack from behind. top.

"Yes, that's it!" Ramsay continued to growl. The existence of the purple dragon knight boosted the morale of the shepherd soldiers, and they regained their advantage on the battlefield.

The crossbowmen and sword and shield soldiers on the side also began to turn around. Under the intensive shooting, the jackals fell down one after another, and the hungry recruits chopped off their heads with swords and put them in bags.

Where there is a brain, there is military merit!Even the head of a gnoll is the same!
Collective against collective, the gnoll camp soon couldn't hold on anymore, and they began to collapse. The human army continued to advance, and with every victory, the gnolls began to flee.

They weren't very powerful creatures in the first place either.

However, just as they were routed, a flail Gnoll with black fur appeared. Its sharp fangs were dripping with foul-smelling saliva, and the flail was spinning up and down in its hands. It had an obvious demonic aura on its body.

It's the abyss gnoll!

The appearance of this wolf man immediately turned the tide of the battle. Under its roar, the defeated wolf man regrouped, and the flail swirled up and down. The abyssal power exuded from it made many recruits subconsciously show fear.

"Yenoghu!!!"

The abyss gnoll stretched out his body, opened his mouth wide and chanted the name of the god, a dark light enveloped it, the will of the abyss seemed to materialize, and the phantom holding the flail swept across the air and wiped out all the surrounding soldiers. Shocked back.

The abyss gnoll began to spin. It spun around in place, turning itself into a whirlwind, moving around disorderly from the battlefield. The spear array was instantly shattered by the impact of the abyss jackal whirlwind. The spears broke and the shield was knocked away. There were endless screams.

An evil creature blessed with the power of the abyss!

The abyss gnoll immediately noticed Ramsey who was commanding, and the whirlwind came towards the purple dragon knight. The forward momentum mixed with inertia sent all the soldiers and even the gnoll himself flying. Ramsey sensed danger.

Ramsey stood firm, raised his shield and prepared to fight, and the purple dragon knight prayed to Tempus that his shield was strong enough.

He is ready!
Just then, Norrington's roar came from nearby.

Paladin—Guardian Aura!
Oath of Vengeance—Oath of Hate!

2nd Ring of Magic—Misty Step!

The movement of the Lost Step made Norrington teleport to Ramsey immediately, and the paladin of the Oath of Vengeance gave the Abyssal Gnoll a light of the oath of hatred. The strong hatred and firm will to revenge shook the heart of the Abyssal Gnoll. Let it rotate a little slower, and the hero's nemesis sword in Norrington's hand is ready.

On the surface of the blade appeared the phantom of the hero who was unwilling to die, and the blade had been shrouded in divine brilliance.

Ascension Ring - Holy Slash!
The firm determination of revenge shrouded the surrounding space with a terrifying force, the surrounding air seemed to calm down, and the brilliance erupted by the Holy Slash became the last thing this abyss gnoll saw.

The hero's nemesis sword slashed from top to bottom, the broken limbs of the abyss gnoll were separated from the middle, the whirlwind disintegrated from the air, the power from the abyss was dissipated invisible, and the two ends of the body relied on inertia and rotated twice before hitting the ground.

The battlefield was quiet.

"Be careful, Ramsey." Norrington said coldly, "This is not training."

After finishing speaking, the paladin raised his sword and charged into the camp of the gnolls. With a horizontal slash, he cut the throat of the gnoll warrior together with the shield, and killed six gnolls in the blink of an eye. The morale of the soldiers was overwhelmed, and the jackals were slaughtered one after another in the collapse.

The remaining gnolls finally felt the fear, but the paladin who sworn revenge had the specialty—Endless Vengeance, this ability could prevent the enemy from retreating. All the remaining gnolls were killed.

At this time Havel finally appeared, and the purple dragon knight made a standard movement like a wave. With all his strength, he put the head of a wolf man who was still alive, put the head into a bag like a treasure, and pulled the head towards the one who was still sitting on the ground. Musai laughed: "Be careful, buddy, the opponent is just a jackal, just fight casually, these are just appetizers."

"You bastard!" Ramsey wiped the sweat from his brow with his gauntlet, "It's easy for you to say."

After finishing speaking, the purple dragon knight looked enviously at Norrington, who was leading a group of sword and shield soldiers to hunt and kill the gnolls.

"You're right, but this is a paladin." Havel laughed: "He is proficient in heavy armor, has a physique comparable to a warrior, and has an anti-magic ability comparable to a priest. The guardian aura can exert its effect without any action. Lost steps can teleport, lay on hands can restore blood, firm faith makes them immune to diseases, and even has holy perception and cleansing touch, courage aura can exempt fear, command and blessing effects are omnipotent, and they can also summon mounts and Counterspell."

"The paladin can also dispel magic with a third ring, and a three-ring acceleration technique makes him not afraid of anyone in close combat."

"Then there is also Charisma plus Negotiation Expertise, gaining an advantage in negotiations, the Holy Slash will be... huh~ huh~ huh~ ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

The son of the Minister of Shipping put his head in his hands and shouted enviously and jealously.

Havel's lively performance made Ramsey and the nearby soldiers all laugh.

Yes, this is the paladin!
These are the powerful paladins in the kingdom. Their excellent qualities, firm beliefs, selfless protection, and lofty creed make them the most popular teammates, and they are also the immortal backbone supporting the justice of the multiverse!
With the defeat of the Gnolls, a not too difficult battle ended.

Aaron gave the order to press on.

He didn't plan to do it himself. This pioneering battle itself has the nature of military training. He hasn't really seen blood. How can he talk about elite soldiers and strong generals?
In the future, he will lead these people to conquer the Thundering Peak, the Rocky Land, and the Great Forest of Cormanthor, until he conquers the Great Desert of Ennook, so as to give the Nether olds in the City of Shadows a little less Cormyr shock. !
"Dense formation, advance as a whole."

Aaron, who was playing chess with Miss Priest, was sitting on the sky surveying chariot and said calmly: "Tell everyone that the Hulek Forest belongs to us!"

"Go ahead, keep going!"
