The epic story of green monsters

Chapter 324 Frontline
  Because of the extra group of people dragging them down, Fisher's team moved much slower. It was not until they separated in the Galle Valley that the speed of the baggage team increased again.

Of course, Allen and his tribesmen gained a lot during this period. After more than a month of getting along and learning, Allen can ride on the horse freely without worrying about falling off. Although Allen is not yet able to gallop freely, let alone fight on horseback like a knight, at least through learning riding skills, Allen knows many benefits of mounts.

As a pragmatist, Allen never liked people raising large livestock in the Green Field Tribe, unless these livestock were useful for the development of the tribe and did not consume the food produced by the tribe. Therefore, the most commonly raised animals in Green Lake Village are still cattle that can cultivate the land and be fed with fodder. Even goats that eat grass are rarely raised, let alone pack horses that pull carts.

Because, in Allen's opinion, the tribal people have a lot of labor force. It is better to save the food for raising livestock and buy more goblins to accumulate tribal heritage.

However, the demeanor of the human cavalry made Allen's ideas waver a little, and then the charge of hundreds of basilisk cavalry this time brought a severe psychological impact to Allen. It turns out that the lethality of the cavalry charging in large-scale formations is so powerful. The torrent of steel passes through the ground and sends out thunderous vibrations, sweeping away the enemies and targets that are blocking it. It is invincible, as if nothing can. Block the rushing pace of the torrent.

If Allen had just had the idea of ​​forming a cavalry in his mind before, now he has great confidence in this idea. Even if there are many difficulties in front of him, he may not be able to stop him.

This is Allen's character. When an idea or belief is completely firm, all that's left is to turn it into action and realize it.

As it happened, Fisher took the opportunity of rescuing the Sunit tribe and escorting them to the Galle Valley to blackmail the other party severely, and directly obtained half of the thousands of livestock that the other tribe had worked hard to raise. Of course, because of the long journey and being far away from the territory of the Snowmi tribe, Fisher voluntarily gave up the young livestock of the other tribe, and the resulting number of cattle and horses was nearly 2,000.

Such a large number of livestock, for the baggage team, although it brings a lot of gains, it actually brings a lot of trouble. Not only does it require manpower to take care of it every day, but it also costs some food and grass to feed.

After passing through the Galle Valley, even if we entered the territory of the Dayan Khan tribe, one of the three royal tribes of humans and horses, it was the territory closest to the human kingdom. From then on, the baggage train encountered demonic attacks on a larger scale and more frequently. How could Fisher dare to use the extra manpower for herding.

At this time, he already felt a little regretful. His greed for temporary gain had brought him so much trouble.

Therefore, in order to solve the trouble, Fisher simply issued rewards to the soldiers who had made meritorious service along the way. Goblin teenagers such as Allen and Cole also received a high-quality Mondo war horse each from Fisher because of their dedicated efforts in killing the enemy during the battle.

The Mondo war horse is an excellent horse breed that has been cultivated by the Sunit tribe for hundreds of years. From the shoulder of the war horse down to the ground, the Mondo war horse has a height of 5-6 meters. Allen is a strong man nearly two meters tall. When riding up, the ankles are still very high from the ground. It is a war horse suitable for the height of bugbears.

"Boom~~~"

A group of galloping centaur warriors roared away from the Snoimi baggage team. As they got closer and closer to the Sutu Lake area where the royal court of the Dayan Khan tribe was located, the number of centaur patrols also increased.

Facing the wilderness tribes like Snowmi who came to support them, these centaur warriors often had cold and distant faces, and they rarely greeted Fisher and the others, except for routine inspections of waist badges and documents.

Of course, after Allen and the others entered the boundary of Sutu Lake, they encountered several groups of luggage teams from the large tribes in the wilderness. They all gathered together into a huge convoy and slowly headed towards the royal court of the Dayan Khan tribe.

Derige, the royal court of the Dayan Khan tribe, means the place where the rising sun rises in Centaur language. It is said that in the early years, it was the place where the centaur god Qirong was enshrined as a god, so it has always been regarded as the most sacred place by the centaurs.

Sutu Lake, close to Derige, provides abundant freshwater resources to Derige, a grassland royal palace. It is also the place where countless branches of streams as dense as spider webs meet.

From a distance, Derge seems to be nothing special. There are no magnificent buildings or tall city walls. The only thing there is are the felt tents made of animal skins and wood, which stretch for ten miles. Miles away.

Especially in the past year or so, countless centaur tribes have arrived at the call of the three royal courts, as well as tribal teams supported by tribes from all over the wilderness, which has brought the felt tents in King Derige City to their peak.

The arrival of Snowmi's support team did not cause much disturbance in King Dezhige's city. Even the centaur officials who were waiting for Fisher waited for more than half a magic hour before they arrived. Too late.

After the two sides briefly handed over supplies, the Centaur officials took Fisher and the others to an open grassland on the outskirts of the southern part of the royal capital. They randomly marked a place and said that it was their rest area. So left.

Looking at the centaur in the distance, Fisher's eyes were full of dissatisfaction, but soon he adjusted his mentality again and ordered his team members to start setting up camp and rest.

Originally, Allen thought that they would rest here in Dezhige for a while, but he did not expect that two days later, under Fisher's order, their team was ready to restart the journey and advance to the front line further south.

At this time, their team will be broken up again, and one team of more than 500 people will start their journey home again, because they have completed the task of transporting supplies. The remaining 1000-man team, under the leadership of Fisher, will join the 5-strong army commanded by the legendary centaur general Ahmed Bek. After some preparations, they will go south to participate in the war to stop the demon army. middle.

"Listen to me, the formation arranged for you now will be the formation you need to maintain when you go into battle!!"

"If anyone dares to act randomly and mess up your team's formation, I will twist off your head and use it as a toilet!!!"

"Remember the faces of your companions around you..."

"have you understood?"

"Yes~~"

“Okay~~~”

Although Fisher had been deliberately integrating this ragtag group of people along the way, when it came time to go to the battlefield, he still had to obey General Ahmed's order and combine his thousands of troops into A stable phalanx for better combat on the battlefield.

At this time, Fisher, with a gaunt troll face, shouted fiercely to the team that formed a scattered square formation. What responded to him was a group of scattered, uneven and chaotic voices, which made Fisher's already blue-black face darker.

The only thing that gave him some relief was the 500 warriors belonging to the Snowmi tribe behind the phalanx. At this time, the formation was orderly and solemn. This was a team worthy of Fisher's trust.

Allen and his 12 tribesmen stood in the middle and front of the team, while Leonard and Tom were separated and stayed in General Ahmed's spellcasting team, which made Allen less worried. After all, Leonard, as a spellcaster, cannot fight on the front line, but is gathered and placed in the rear. As for Tom, a short goblin, because of Fisher's care, he was assigned as Leonard's bodyguard, and was placed in the rear of the central army along with him.

As for the girl Irene, she was placed in the scout team by Fisher and did not directly participate in the battle.

Large-scale army array operations naturally cannot be as chaotic as adventurers. If you want to take advantage of numbers, you must have a neatly arranged phalanx and launch a group-style charge or defense to reflect its value.

Allen's performance along the way made Fisher very satisfied, especially Allen and Kerr who obeyed the arrangements and had strong discipline. Therefore, when Fisher arranged the formation, he divided their team into The people were placed in the middle and front of the square formation. Although Allen and the others are only 2-3 rows apart from the front-line soldiers, on the battlefield, the gap between these 2-3 rows is often the distance between the living and the dead.

To put it bluntly, everyone knows that the team at the front of the phalanx has always been the cannon fodder of the phalanx. When it comes time to engage in battle, these people will often be reduced to the battlefield as soon as they confront the enemy. The first victims.

"Spread out~~~~"

"Array~~~"

Practicing tirelessly time and time again, Allen, Kerr and the rest of the tribe all had serious eyes and serious eyes. Guys who were not serious would often be beaten up and screamed by Allen's chestnuts. In order to give the teenagers an extra chance of survival on the battlefield, Allen worked hard.

While practicing like this, they also waited for other reinforcements to gather. A month later, Allen and the others arrived at the front line of fighting the devil.

From a distance, you can hear all kinds of roars and killings, the exchange of blades, the dull thunderous footsteps, and the smoke rising into the sky. They are the fireworks caused by the casters' fireballs, lightning balls and other spells. Burning corpses, grassland.

No wild animal dared to gain a foothold on this land, and even the vultures in the sky, which always preyed on carrion and dead bodies, stayed far away.

From time to time, there are waves of coercion, and a few lonely figures in the sky sometimes intersect and sometimes separate. When they intersect, a strange phenomenon will often appear in the sky, covering half of the sky. Those are the legendary strong men. restraining each other.

"Stand where you are!!!"

The queue of tens of thousands of people was long and long. When they set up camp, it looked like they were seeing Derge, the capital of the Dayan Khan tribe. They were all densely packed with felt tents.

The faces of the soldiers who were withdrawn from the frontline battlefield were covered with emotions such as numbness and coldness. They did not want to take a second look at the new reinforcements. They just fell asleep at the end, or grabbed a leg of lamb or beef in one hand. Eat deliciously to replenish your energy.

Only a warrior who has persisted on a fierce battlefield for more than a month can be considered a qualified soldier. And obviously, at this time, Allen and his group of warriors who had just rushed from the rear, even high-level warriors as strong as Allen, had no respect for them in peaceful areas like Mansha City.

Unless an individual's strength is above the level of a legend that transcends the boundaries of mortals, there is absolutely no room for display in the face of tens of thousands of troops fighting.

Allen and Kerr's status is quite good, because they are at least advanced warriors. Compared with other tribes that have many low-level warrior teams, Allen and the others can also have an independent camp. Even Irene This girl will come back to stay with her little sister Kerr after completing her daily investigation tasks.

After all, their team is not a regular army. Warriors from more than a dozen vassal tribes under Snow's command, like Allen, carry out their responsibilities for the Snow's tribe in the name of the Snow's tribe.

Fisher would definitely not have too many expectations for such a team. As long as they could help relieve some pressure on their own people, they would have accomplished their mission.

The first time he came into contact with the battlefield, especially when the battlefield was only more than ten miles away from the station and the breath of the battlefield could be smelled at the tip of his nose, Allen's heart still couldn't calm down. Originally a somewhat serious goblin, Allen looked at the tribesmen who had just rested and fallen asleep in the felt tent, thinking that when they had accumulated enough merits to return, how many of them would still be alive to go back together. When he came out, Allen only wanted to take children like Kerr to exercise. He never thought that one day he would take them to such a dangerous battlefield. Thinking about how the regular troops of the Snowmi tribe acted in unison on the grassland before, and the fighting style they displayed was completely different from the chaotic fighting style of the Green Field Plains, he felt worried from the bottom of his heart.

He didn't even have confidence that he could survive the fighting of the Snowmi cavalry. As for stubborn resistance and causing damage to the cavalry, that was even more of a joke.

"Clang clang!! clang clang!!!"

"Ah~~~~"

In the middle of the night, there were sudden bursts of killing cries and various warning sounds. Allen dragged the bone cutter with one hand and kicked the teenagers around him. After waking them up, he was the first to get out of the felt tent. .

There were figures running around everywhere, and Allen was looking around with the Bonecutter in hand. With the dark vision talent, Allen's eyes looked almost the same as during the day, but he did not find any demon with a sulfurous smell and a ferocious face.

It wasn't until Kerr and the other teenagers came out of the felt tent in a panic, wearing armor and dragging weapons, that they heard someone shouting orders from a distance.

"Go back to bed, everyone!!!"

"It's so late at night, what are you yelling about!!!"

"Whoever leaves the tent without reason will be beheaded!!!"

"........."

Slowly, the military camp returned to calm, while Allen and the others looked confused, completely unaware of what was happening. Just when he was taking Kerr and the others back to the felt tent to rest, a troll warrior came over and stopped him.

"Commander Fisher ordered that your team be responsible for patrolling tonight."

"Yes."

Allen had no choice but to nod slightly in agreement, then called a group of tribesmen out and started their patrol.

In such a huge military camp, Allen and the others patrolled back and forth along the perimeter, and gained more than an hour of magic. Fortunately, there was a team of centaur veterans leading them, so that Allen and the others did not get lost in this unfamiliar military camp.

"court death!!"

A kobold warrior seemed to have lost his soul. He suddenly emerged from a felt tent and let out a series of strange screams. Then he was scolded by the centaur captain who led the team. After seeing no reaction from the other party, , directly raised the spear in his hand and pierced it into the chest. Then the kobold warrior lost his life, and the strange screams in his mouth stopped abruptly.

"These guys are all cowards who were frightened stupidly on the battlefield. They will do whatever they want when they fall asleep late at night!!"

The centaur captain Carlo, who had just killed the killer, saw the flash of disgust and confusion in Allen's eyes. Thinking that such a scene would be inevitable tonight, he calmly explained to Allen coldly.

"The most feared people in the military camp are these guys. If we don't suppress them in time, it will probably cause more soldiers to panic and eventually cause problems in the camp!"

"The commotion just now was because you new night watchmen didn't dare to be ruthless and allowed these guys to mess up the military camp!!"

"........."

Allen's boring knowledge has grown again. No one could have imagined that such a small thing could have such a big impact.

After understanding the practices of his companions, Allen no longer struggled. After a night patrol, they jointly suppressed several such behaviors. After gradually becoming familiar with each other, the centaur captain Carlo also became more talkative towards Allen, the smart bugbear captain.

"...To be honest, the battle ahead is very unfavorable to us. There were more than 3 troops who went up today, but only more than survived in the end."

Allen was most concerned about the situation on the frontline battlefield. Now he finally had a companion who was familiar with the situation. Of course, he asked the other party about this aspect in a circumstantial way. Fortunately, Carlo, the centaur captain, is also a person who likes to talk. With things like night patrol, it would be a bit difficult if he didn't do something to pass the time, so Carlo couldn't stop talking after he opened his mouth. .

"If General Ahmed comes another half month later, I'm afraid our frontline battlefield will have to be withdrawn dozens of miles further."

"Can we really kill all the demons ahead?"

“It’s weird if you kill them all!!”

"From the human side, demon armies are constantly coming. It is said that the human side is called the Lion Heart Kingdom. Now half of the land is occupied by demons."

"On the human side, there are as many humans as there are livestock on our grasslands. Once the demons capture a few large cities, they can summon thousands of demon armies."

"On the battlefield, the corpses left behind by us and the demons were eventually dragged over by the demons, and then sent to the flesh altar. After the passage was opened, another batch of demons could be summoned."

"During the day, have you seen the legends of fighting in the sky? Those are the big shots here who found an altar of flesh and blood, and then suddenly went over to sneak attack and destroy the opponent's altar. However, there are often legends around these altars. The above demon powerhouses are stationed here, and if the legendary master we go to sneak attack is not careful, he will be ambushed and assassinated by the other party."

"I remember that at least eight legendary masters lost their lives in the war that destroyed the Flesh Altar."

"........."

Allen's eyes were gloomy, and knowing more sometimes seemed not a good thing, because it would disturb people's hearts and make them lose their composure. But soon, Allen recovered. At this time, he had no way out. He had already reached this point, and it seemed unreasonable to look back.

As the saying goes, if you pay, you will gain. If he wants to gain the status of Mansha City, he must fight with all his strength.

"How long will it take for our support soldiers to be on the battlefield?"

"It will definitely be soon. It is estimated that the first batch of soldiers will set off after dawn. Even if the remaining team stays here, it will not take too long."

"who!!"

Suddenly, just as Allen and the others were getting excited about chatting, Allen spotted dozens of ghostly figures in his peripheral vision, quietly crawling toward the grasslands to the north. At that time, Allen shouted without hesitation, but his sound seemed to turn on a signal. The dozen figures got up from crawling on the spot, and then ran away without looking back.

"A bunch of cowards!!"

Carlo looked at the retreating figures with disdain. Although his vision was not as clear as Allen's in the dark night, it did not prevent him from judging the true appearance of these guys.

"Kill them!!"

With an order, Allen's team and the Centaur team attacked at the same time, chasing the figure running in front.

"Swish!! Swish!!"

While charging, the centaur warrior waved his arms and threw heavy javelins into the distance. From time to time, a figure fell down. At the same time, the four hooves of the centaur warriors were flying, and their speed did not drop. The impact on their shooting in the speeding state was minimal. When they caught up with the opponent, the javelins of this group of centaur warriors turned into spears and were raised diagonally. He walked towards the gathering place of the fleeing team and passed through.

Figures flew out one after another. When the centaur warriors transformed from javelin throwers into cavalry, they were equally powerful. Basically, before Allen's team even made any move, a dozen warriors from the centaur team had already defeated this group of ghostly thugs. Almost killed.

After a while, the last fugitive was pierced through the back by a javelin from Carlo and stuck on the ground, and the war finally came to an end.

At this time, Allen realized that these ghostly figures were just a group of companions in the wilderness who suddenly retreated and wanted to escape after arriving at the battlefield.

Guys like this are already commonplace on the frontline battlefields. The eyes of Carlo and his companions were dull, without any disturbance at all. On the contrary, when the goblin warriors like Kerr looked at these cowards, they would look at them with more or less contempt.

During a night's patrol, such things were not uncommon. Anyway, by the time dawn came, the bodies of soldiers like Allen and Kerr were covered with a little bit of smelly blood. Even before he went to the battlefield, Allen's hands were already stained with blood, and the source of the blood was a group of wilderness natives who were supposed to be comrades-in-arms.
