Evolve bloodline from golden dragon

Chapter 150 Beheading
"Oops!"

Solo suddenly felt bad.At least two or three hundred of the hundreds of jackals who came out after him, including him, were restrained in place.

The Grip of the Earth cast by the Grai Stonemen made their legs or feet wrapped in stones, and they couldn't break free in a short time.

Although the gnolls could fight back and forth in the melee with the mountain giants before, it was mainly because of the number of gnolls, as well as the speed and flexibility of the gnolls.

If they were fixed in place, they would become targets and be torn apart by those mountain giants.

"Calm down! Calm down." Solo's heartbeat accelerated, trying to calm himself down.

They had expected this in the prior information, so they brought the hammer, but it was in the hands of the hobgoblin behind.

In a short time, the hobgoblin comrades in the back had no time to rush over, and the mountain giant who was still retreating just now ran back with a grinning grin!

In desperation, the jackal warriors used their quick wits and used their gauntlets as hammers, trying to smash the stones on their legs.

All of a sudden, hundreds of jackals started clanging and beating like this.

"Everyone, move forward and cover!"

Clay also ordered the hobgoblins to advance the formation, and they would resist the front for the gnolls, but this was obviously a bit slow.

The heavy shield was picked up again, and the five hundred hobgoblins moved forward step by step.

"Pay attention to the formation! Don't mess it up!" Clay calmly ordered.

The Gnolls chased about 200 meters away. It was certain that they would not be able to catch up, but even so, they could not give up their formation.Otherwise, the consequence is not a loss of part, but a disaster!
In just 1 minute, the situation on the battlefield took a turn for the worse.

The gnolls desperately knocked on the rocky arm of the Grip of the Earth, and behind them, the hobgoblins rushed towards them step by step.

In the end, it really was the mountain giant who took the lead.

"puff!"

As soon as they came back, they couldn't wait to swing the giant wood and hit the jackals. The powerful impact caused many jackal fighters to squirt blood from their mouths and noses, knocking them to death on the spot.

What's more, the stronger mountain giants can hit a home run and knock their opponents into the air.

In less than 30 seconds, two or three elite Jackal warriors had already died under the stick.Seeing all this, Solo's heart was torn apart, but there was nothing he could do.

As time went by, some soldiers among the wolf men broke free from the stone arms and went up to the mountain giant, buying time for their comrades in arms.

However, the jackal soldiers who adopted flexible combat tactics were not suitable for confrontation. Therefore, these jackal soldiers who had just been freed were bound again in disguise, causing heavy casualties.

One wolf man fighter after another was knocked to death or sent flying. Finally, a mountain giant looked at Solo.

He walked towards Solo with a ferocious smile, his mouth was wide open, very ugly, and there was a stench coming out, which almost made Solo faint.

"You son of a bitch!" the giant yelled, and raised his weapon.

"Is this the end?" Solo asked himself, but he didn't know whether he was referring to the battle or his own life.

But in the next moment, an unexpected scene happened!

A bright silver-white spear stabbed out from the stab behind him, hitting the giant's wrist in front of him.

The spear was so sharp that it pierced the giant's wrist in an instant, and at the same time, he could no longer hold the weapon in his hand.

The giant screamed in pain, but before he recovered his senses and came back to fight back, another silver light flew in his vision.

With a sound of "Puff", the mountain giant's left eye was pierced by the spear, and then the spear swept across and cut through his right eye.

"What a spear!" Solo exclaimed regardless of the danger of life and death.Turning his head, at some point, a familiar figure was standing beside him.

"Commander Clay!"

"Yeah." Clay nodded and said, "Ten Commander, deal with the trouble quickly, and then reorganize your team."

It turned out that Clay came here one step ahead, wanting to buy time for the Jackal warrior. He lowered his head and carefully observed the rock on Solo's leg, wanting to see clearly.

And at this moment, the mountain giant who had been blinded just now staggered and stood up again.

"Chief Clay, be careful!" Solo reminded.

In the next second, Clay explained to him why he came here.

Without raising his head, he thrust out the spear again subconsciously, hitting the giant's other hand with precision.Then he took two steps forward, turned around and swept, severing the Achilles tendon of the giant's foot.

The mountain giant who was close to three meters fell to the ground with a bang, completely becoming a useless person. On the battlefield, this has almost sentenced him to death.

Clay didn't move any further. Behind him, a uniform line of hobgoblins emerged continuously.

In the sound of heavy footsteps, Solo only saw those hobgoblin soldiers wearing the thickest armor and holding the thickest shields, separated into formation to include them, and then closed again. After a while, most of the gnolls Soldiers are already protected within a thick line of defense.

He watched the hobgoblins push the mountain giant back step by step with shields and heavy spears.The overlapping heavy spears made the mountain giant helpless in the face of these iron hedgehogs, and could only keep retreating.

After paying the price of a dozen people again, the mountain giants also knew that it would be difficult for them to win again.In order to protect the gnolls and avoid surprise attacks from the side of the formation, the hobgoblins did not go too far.So the two sides confronted each other like this.

During this period of time, the iron hammer that was originally brought to deal with the Grai stone came in handy, and the rock arms that wrapped the Gnoll warriors were shattered one after another.

According to the order, Solo reassembled his team members and assembled the team. The remaining gnolls returned to their original positions, which were on both sides of the hobgoblins.

Until now, the entire vanguard has regained the ability to move forward.

In the formation, Solo changed from his previous excited state, remained silent, and only acted according to the order of the centurion.

It has to be said that this period of fighting gave him a lot of emotion and shock.Only now did he truly understand the significance of the various concepts and regulations he had learned in the military academy.

War is not a display of personal bravery. The place to show personal strength is the arena or arena.

Originally it seemed that it could only be beaten passively, and the defensive formation that could kill a small number of enemies "depending on the situation" only after paying casualties first, seemed so invincible under certain circumstances.And the gnolls who are strangling and fighting with the giants are so vulnerable under certain circumstances...

As the tenth commander, he can only be called the fifth commander now... Nearly half of his soldiers have been lost!

When chasing, his team ran ahead.

Next, Solo followed the team step by step.He saw that Commander Clay, who was actually astonishing in strength, never made a move again, but just kept giving orders. He saw that Centurion Bidden, who had been brushed off by him, commanded his soldiers like an arm, trying to make him They have an advantage against mountain giants.

Finally, he realized.

"Fighting and war are two fucking different things!"

His voice was loud, and Clay who was not far away heard it too, and he just smiled.

He couldn't answer Solo that question, because he hadn't quite figured it out either.

For them, fighting and war are two different things, but if it is the lord, the two can also be the same thing.

……

Three days later, the mission of the vanguard army was completed, and they returned to the large army for rest.After returning to the heavily fortified barracks, Solo was finally relieved.

After failing in the first battle, fortunately, he brought back his remaining soldiers in their entirety, instead of becoming the chief of four or three again.

The soldiers got a respite, but Clay had no time to rest. He held a meeting with the centurions overnight, and then came to Valk's tent in the early morning of the next day.

He is going to submit the combat report this time.

In the big tent, the high-level officers of the army circulated it carefully, with mixed feelings.

During the three-day battle, the vanguard army encountered more than 56 mountain giants before and after, killing 140 of them, killing 210 and [-] of their own, and wounding [-] and [-] of them.

Among them, more than half of the soldiers killed in the battle were gnolls who were plotted against by the Graishites and slaughtered by the giants during the first battle, and a small part were hobgoblins who resisted the impact of the giants head-on.

Most of the wounded soldiers were slightly injured, mostly caused by being hit by stone throws.

The battle loss ratio is almost 1:3, which is unacceptable to everyone including Valcke.Even though Clay later pointed out in the report that after gaining experience and improving tactics, the battle loss ratio can be changed to 1:2 or even 1:1.5, but this is still a bit high.

"In this battle, we can be sure that the mountain giants are really well-organized and have almost no tactics at all. But with the Graishites, their individual strength alone is enough to cause us trouble," Gray said.

"Would it be better if the gnolls were replaced with black-scaled lizardmen?" A general asked a question.

The black-scaled lizard has a strong physique, and the weapon it uses is also a mace. Even if it is bound by the grip of the earth, it can quickly get out of trouble.

Walker shook his head upon hearing this.

"But in this way, we have to face the giant head-on no matter what. After all, in close combat, nimble wolf warriors actually have an advantage."

"How about some archers? Those giants are as poorly equipped as the ogres."

"No, long-range crossbowmen can only be effective against giants if they are used in groups, but they have almost no backhand power against stone men or giants."

"Is it possible to concentrate the elite shooters in the army to fight guerrilla warfare against those mountain giants?"

"No, there is no guerrilla warfare in the Manshi Mountains, unless we can get rid of the Graishites first. Otherwise, even the Warg Riders will not be allowed to enter."

"Oh, neither this nor that!"

The atmosphere in the hall was stagnant and very gloomy.

There is no way, the opposite side is so disgusting, to fight against them, you can't do it with too few people, and you can't do it with too many people.

Of course, all of this is actually because Osfil wants to pursue a low casualty rate, otherwise with their current size, they can win even with a flat push.

In this way, the loss is seriously out of proportion to the gain.

"There are two other ways." Seeing the silence of the crowd, Walker suddenly spoke out after a long while, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"The first is that we abandon the plan of the ground attack and use the air force entirely, and let the harpies and griffin riders enter the field."

"The mountain giants and Grai stone people lack long-range attack methods, and we are invincible first. It's just..."

"Just in this way, the battle line will be too long."

Valk nodded, and then said another plan: "There is another way, beheading!"

"According to the information we have obtained, there must be a warlock inside the mountain giant who is controlling the Graystone man. As long as he is killed, it will be fine."

This is also a method, but it has more stringent requirements for those who execute the plan.

Everyone discussed the two plans for a while, and decided to take a two-pronged approach.

In the end, a letter written by Walker was sent back to Silver Crown City.There is also a quick reply.

Along with it, there are Woz, Norhill, Creed and Erso.To tell the truth, Walker was also stunned to see them coming.

"It's a bit..." He felt that he was making a fuss out of a molehill.With this lineup, if they all died in the mountains, Osfer would lose a quarter.

But in other words, the stronger the lineup, the less likely it is to overturn.

Erso smiled and said: "The lion still needs to work hard to catch the rabbit, so let's finish the matter early, besides..."

"I haven't been active for a long time, and my usual work is too easy." Nuo Xier stretched his waist.

What followed was Creed's speechless face.

Ever since the Ministry of Intelligence got on the right track, Creed was doing all the dirty work, how could it be so easy! ?

After understanding the situation in detail, the matter was settled.

The four of Nuo Xier will sneak into the Manshi Mountains to execute the beheading plan from the day after tomorrow, and they will find out the giant warlock hidden behind them.

The reason why we have to act the day after tomorrow is because starting tomorrow, a group of harpies and griffin knights will be assembled on the front line. They will harass the rocky mountains, mobilize the giants, and attract attention to cover the four of them. .

The plan is set, and time flies by.

At the same time that Norhill, Erso, Woz, and Creed entered the mountain, thousands of air troops also set off earlier.

The rocky mountains.

Under the largest mountain peak, a group of mountain giants lived together. They gathered together in twos and threes, or they were wandering, basking in the sun, or sleeping.The weather in early spring was still cold, but they didn't notice it.

But the peaceful and peaceful days will soon pass, and a group of enemies in the sky quickly attracted their attention, and they kept throwing some explosive fireballs on the ground.

Thus a mountain giant ran down the hill into a cave, until he saw their lord.

"My lord, the invaders are coming again, this time from the sky."

In front of him is a mountain giant who doesn't look "tall", only two meters high.

"Tell the clansmen to find a shelter with a roof." Bobo said.
