Chapter 21 Killing (Part 1)

Time, at about seven o'clock in the evening.

At this time, the sky was completely dark, and tonight it was dark clouds, the moonlight had long been blocked, and only a trace of starlight could be seen in the sky.

The towns in Athens were surrounded by cultivated farmland, and there was nothing to see around. The lush weeds had been burned to a fire under Murphy's order.

Therefore, it is obviously very difficult for the gnoll to sneak attack the Athenian towns.

Because the view is wide, there are no obstacles to provide hiding.

However, the darkness obviously provided them with some cover. They had good night vision capabilities and could hide in the shadows and carefully touched the town fence bit by bit.

In the past, they all attacked human towns in this way.

According to their past experience, as long as they break into towns and set fires to create chaos, humans will become a mess because of fear. That time is the time for them to be slaughtered. This means a lot of delicious food.

Murphy arranged not many night whistles, and even fewer than before.

There are twelve four-meter-high arrow towers on all four sides of the town fence. There are torches on the arrow tower, which can illuminate things within a radius of twenty meters. There are three night whistles on each arrow tower, and they take turns to guard the duties.

Under the cover of night, the first batch of zombies touched were approaching quickly!

The sound of insects around suddenly paused. As the werewolf approached, only the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the grass and trees came. These subtle changes did not escape the eyes of the sentries. They looked vigilantly at the darkness outside the light, and were careful to guard against possible attacks.

"Say!"

A bow and arrow shot out of the darkness, and the arrow shot into the heart of a sentry, but the arrow was stuck in the leather armor. It only shot through the leather armor and shot through a layer of flesh!

immediately!

The horns sound!

A sharp alarm spread throughout the town, awakening everyone in the territory.

The jagged archery skills are not good. Their palms with sharp claws are not suitable for drawing arrows. In fact, the truly suitable long-range attack method for javes is to throw javelins because they have outstanding power!

Of course, they usually use sharp claws to hunt because they run very fast!

Few people know that the gnoll is actually color blind!

Although they have good night vision capabilities, this cannot cover up the fact that they are color blind. Gnolls mainly rely on smell, and they are as sensitive to the breath of blood as wild animals. This race will quietly approach the nest of prey in the dark and turn it into its own food!

By the way, the gnolls are midnight animals.

Their activity time is more inclined to the evening and darkness.

The male zombie who failed to attack without an arrow shot the target to death made an angry roar. It broke the bow and arrow in its hand, then released its four hooves and ran towards the gate like a beast! Although the zombie would walk independently, a considerable number of zombies would hit the ground during attack and hunting, a considerable number of zombies would hit the ground and run like wild animals!

The speed is really fast!

At a distance of thirty or forty meters, the werewolf running with all their might approached in just a few seconds.

They jumped up, grabbed the edge of the fence with their sharp claws and turned into the town.

"Swish!Swish!Swish!"

Several long spears stabbed out from behind the fence. These spears pierced the zombies' palms that clamped on the wooden railings, and nailed their palms to the wooden wall!

The sentries on the arrow tower took out their hunting bows and shot the gnolls nailed to the wooden wall one by one!

Seeing the night attack fail, a wolf howl came from the darkness in the distance.

Then I heard a dense rustling sound from the night wind, and there were dark shadows dozens of meters away from the town! A large number of werewolves gave up their sneak attacks and directly attacked the town's gate from the front.

A powerful horn sound came from the town of Athens.

As if this represents some command, all the sentries on the arrow tower began to evacuate, and the spearmen hiding behind the wooden walls jointly defended also retracted their weapons and began to retreat into the town!

The werewolf captured the town gate without any suspense.

But what makes people feel depressed is that they did not encounter any enemies. Instead, they rushed too fast and were killed by a point where they shot out.

Although there was something strange in my heart, the huge number of companions behind me gave these adult male gnolls as pioneers the courage!

They began to approach the interior of the Athenian town!

Soon, they saw the enemy.

They were two teams of Greek infantry, with spears all over the forest, and a few torches were lit around, and the soldiers were ready!

He actually gave up the city gate and fought on the street?

The dense gun array made these pioneer were numb, but the wisdom it carried innately also told them that such gun arrays would be much safer to attack from both sides. So the adult male werewolves who first entered the town split into two and began to attack the enemy in front of them from both sides!

"Dispersed formations! Line up and move forward!"

The commander of the infantry captain shouted loudly, first the Greek infantry lined up to half a meter horizontally and left and right, and then the Greek infantry lined up to move forward. The front of the entire street was filled with blocking the gnolls' idea of ​​attacking both sides.

In fact, it is possible to arrange this way before the battle begins.

But why do you have to wait until the battle begins before making a formation forward?

The reason is very simple. On the battlefield of cold weapons, once a charge is launched, all commands will basically be invalid. Unless an order for a full retreat is issued, the rear row will squeeze in the front row, and the front row can only grit the bullet! In this case, even if you are running in a modern school, if there is any emergency in front, the rear row will still bump into the front!

After the gnolls issued an order to break into two to attack the sides of the Greek infantry phalanx, the gnolls in the back row could only run with the gnolls in the front row, and they could not see the situation in front at all. Even if the gnolls in the front row saw the changes in the enemy's phalanx, they could not stop because there were many similar people running and charging behind them. I am afraid that they would be the first to be unlucky when they stopped!

So, I can only bite the bullet and go.

It is obviously impossible to make the gnolls who are just humanoid creatures ‘enforcement prohibition’.

The formation change that occurred in just five seconds also made the zombies in the front row not have time to stop, and could only crash into the Greek infantry's spear formation with their flesh and blood!

The light brought by the torch was really limited. The Greek infantry in the front row could only protect the round shield in front of him, and then stabbed him hard at the rushing shadow!

Suddenly, a "puff" sound of weapons piercing into the flesh and blood sounded around.

The momentum of the zodiac was stopped by the Greek infantry because the rear row could not see clearly in front. The zodiac who then launched the charge could not stop at all when the front row was blocked by the infantry phalanx, so he could only bite the bullet and hit the companion in front!

Suddenly, the man was overturned.

The width of the street was carefully calculated by Murphy, and the number of gnolls was calculated. Unless they knew how to break the deadlock with the elite team, they would inevitably be stuck in a range because of the number! At that time, they were living targets one by one!

"Jaberlin throw! Prepare!"

"put!"

With the powerful command, the towns and residents listed behind the Greek phalanx threw out the sharpened javelins in their hands!

There was a harsh whistling sound, and nearly a hundred javelins were thrown towards the zombies that were crowded into a pile!

There are twenty javelins in a row, with a total of five javelins. Each person is equipped with five javelins.

The Greek infantry pulled back and stabilized the defense line, while the javeliners seized the time to throw all the javelins around them as fast as possible.

Soon, bursts of howling sounded.

A strong smell of blood gradually spread.

Almost at the same time, the town is defending against the attack of the zombies in the same way.

After achieving the first step of the battle, the Greek infantry began to retreat steadily, while the Javeliners who had thrown their weapons began to evacuate to the central square.
Chapter completed!
