Chapter 83 Battle! Captive!
The Second Era 377, early July.
When the gray dwarf tribe, which had been through hardships and spent nearly half a month to cross the Karazan Mountains, finally arrived in Athens, before they could rob them happily and happily, they seriously fought the autumn wind in the Athenian territory. They were in bad luck and fell into Murphy's trap. As soon as they appeared in the outer area of the Karazan Mountains, their whereabouts were locked by the higher hawks in the sky.
Then Murphy made a series of deployments, prepared a large net waiting for them to enter, and caught a big fish and went home!
"Governor! Those gray dwarves have entered the encirclement." A newly-recommended Athenian general said respectfully beside Murphy.
Because Athens has produced many newly promoted generals during this period, including Athenian citizens and indigenous humans, Murphy took the opportunity to train them and let them learn more or less about actual command. These talents are all recently promoted rookies, and Murphy feels that they should sharpen them more to force them out their potential!
Why were the generals in the early days of Athens very outstanding and talented?
It is because Athens was threatened by gnolls and the threat of orcs. Under the oppression of these threats, the generals in the early days of Athens could be said to be first-class talents. However, after Athens' prosperity, the newly born generals were not so outstanding. It can only be said that they are not that good. The reason is that the potential of these generals has not been forced out. The education of Athens Academy can only allow them to have basic abilities, but cannot generate all their potential.
As a general, the best exercise is of course on the battlefield!
"Send a signal! Get ready to attack!" Murphy said slowly with a calm face.
A birds cried out in the mountains and forests, and then a faint response came from all sides... Murphy did not command himself this time, but issued an order to attack, so he sat in the rear and allowed several new Athenian generals to lead troops to surround him.
The group of gray dwarves has about 2,000 people, more than twice as few soldiers as Murphy brought. If the reinforcements of the high-level winged people and the two Panda Wine Fairies and Legendary Mages with hero templates in the legendary field, these gray dwarves can basically be said to have no chance of winning. What Murphy is really concerned about is the losses caused by a battle far away.
Victory is very easy, but how to win with the smallest loss and capture more prisoners is a difficult problem.
This is exactly what Murphy wants to test the new generals like Athens.
The Karazan Mountains are lush and in fact, places like this that look like primeval forests do not act much.
There is no other reason, there is no road.
Murphy opened roads several times, and built a logging quarry, which made some simple roads sorted out in the outer area. However, these roads still need to be cleaned regularly, otherwise they would be covered with shrubs and weeds in one or two months. The ambush was the only exit nearby. If the gray dwarves did not come out from here, they would have to cross five hills, which would take several times the time.
Mr. Bi is the Karazan Mountains, with long peaks and lush trees.
These gray dwarves obviously didn't know that Murphy had discovered them a day in advance. As early as when they were trying to get closer, Murphy found them at the sentry near the Canyon Pass. After all, it was also a scale of three thousand people to act simultaneously, and it was impossible to achieve completely without realizing it.
Dangerous peaks, halfway up the mountain.
Murphy looked down with a thousand-mile mirror. The gray dwarf was not tall, but his physique was very strong, especially the pair of arms, which were almost as thick as adults. This is one of their natural characteristics. Generally speaking, the upper limbs of dwarves are very strong and powerful.
The size of the three thousand people is not small, and the team is a full kilometer or two. In front are adult men in the tribe. They use heavy battle axes to open up the road and clear out some shrubs that block the way, while behind are gray dwarf women. Because of their long lifespan, there are not many old and weak in a gray dwarf tribe.
The gray dwarf has grown up at around twenty years old, but he is still naive in both thinking and fighting experience. Only when he is about fifty can he form his own worldview and values like humans at the age of twenty, and at this time he is truly mentally mature.
The underage dwarves have a bad temper and are irritable, and like to solve problems through combat.
So for any dwarf, it is their unshirkable responsibility to teach their minors a lesson in the tavern and tell them to use their muscles to solve problems, and to use their brains more.
A dwarf who was not beaten by his fellow tribe in a tavern and threw it out was incomplete in his life.
A problem must be corrected here.
That is, although the dwarves have a bad temper, they are definitely not races that don’t use their brains to think about problems, otherwise they would have died almost.
There are arguments that are irritable, more because of those underage dwarves and their devotion to alcohol. A formally adult dwarf who is over fifty years old is actually very wise, has a life longer than ordinary races, and has also allowed them to accumulate more experience. It is definitely not a stupid creature with muscles in their brains!
Modern science tells us that anyone who is addicted to alcohol will become irritable.
The skin of the gray dwarves showed a stone-like face, which may be because they were enslaved by the evil demons before a long time ago. As [Silver Subspecies] creatures, the combat power of these gray dwarves is comparable to that of Greek heavy infantry trained by the Temple of War, and is even stronger. And their equipment is also very good. As a race that is good at making irons, almost everyone has a heavy metal battle axe.
At present, Murphy has not seen a gray dwarf equipped with heavy armor.
Perhaps because it is very inconvenient to wear heavy armor across the Karazan Mountains, most of these gray dwarves have ordinary clothes or ordinary leather armor.
Even so, it is not easy.
Because it is July now, it is the midsummer season in one sentence. Those who can hold on to the leather armor are already very endurance.
More male gray dwarves are shirtless and moving forward.
The gray dwarf was walking in front of the road to explore the road, and the Athenian army that was ambushing on both sides did not launch an attack. When Murphy saw this, he nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that these new Athenian generals had learned some useful things in the academy.
Until the dwarfs advanced the troops walked into half of the ambush circle.
"Let me go!" A angrily shout suddenly came from the forest.
Then the loud shouts of the messenger sounded on both sides. The Athenian longbower who had been ambushing for a long time stood up and began to shoot at the gray dwarf who had walked into the ambush circle.
Say whisper!
A dense rain of arrows covered the vanguard of the gray dwarfs, causing heavy casualties.
However, the new generals in Athens obviously underestimated the combat effectiveness of the gray dwarves. After being shot by the bow and arrow, many of these extremely strong gray dwarves actually roared, and their skin began to appear like stones. After being shot by the longbow, they could not penetrate their bodies, but were stuck in the flesh and blood, and did not cause fatal injuries!
"It's really worthy of being a silver subspecies! It's really powerful!" Murphy couldn't help but sigh at the elite gray dwarfs who were heavy arrows on the battlefield who were able to fight back hard and rushed towards the Athenian longbowman.
The elite gray dwarfs in front rushed towards the archer troops, and the gray dwarfs who were fired immediately formed a defensive formation and protected their shields.
bump!
Dull grip.
It seemed as if they realized the extraordinaryness of the gray dwarfs. The new generals from Athens did not send Greek heavy infantry to intercept them, but ordered the Srida heavy infantry to line up.
It is probably difficult to fight these elite grey dwarves with Greek heavy infantry, and only the Sydar warriors can fight against these natural silver subspecies!
The forest terrain cannot form a gun array.
The equipment of Greek heavy infantry was a dagger and a shield, and gradually surrounded the past with traditional four-row fronts. However, the weapons used by the Sydar heavy infantry were still long spears, because they were equipped with the kind of equipment that was about three meters long, and it didn't matter if they fought in deep woods. Some of the Sydar warriors who were blessed by the God-Grace Ceremony of the Temple of War were equipped with heavy two-handed swords at the same time.
No matter how powerful the gray dwarf is, it is impossible for him to withstand the intensive shooting of the longbowmen. Soon, the gray dwarfs at the forefront of the team will be killed and killed!
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
The desolate horn sounded in the mountains, and the Athenian army formed a formation and surrounded it.
A series of sudden attacks have knocked these gray dwarves out of the way.
Even now they don’t understand why they were discovered so soon. But it was not until the reinforcements of the nose human race led by Queen Evanna appeared on the battlefield that they suddenly realized and regretted it!
If they had known that the high-level hawks and Athens were on the side, they would never have come!
The sound of wings swaying came from the sky, and hundreds of high-level geeks of scale appeared on the heads of these gray dwarves. These high-level geeks who broke free from curse and restored the inheritance of high elves are also creatures of silver species level, and are even more talented than the gray dwarf silver subspecies. There are more than 200,000 geeks, but only these hundreds of people can break free from curse and become evolved into the winged human race.
The gray dwarfs had obviously seen these high-level geeks, because after they found that they were pointed at hundreds of force on their heads, they had a mess.
The advantages of the flying troops are fully displayed at this moment!
Facing the gray dwarfs with short arms and short tui, these high-level geeks were not threatened at all. They flicked their snow-white wings and glided in the sky, using their strength to guide the gray dwarf elites below to kill them one by one! These high-level geeks all have archery techniques comparable to pure blood elves, and are even much more intelligent than the Crete archer, and they are almost always sure to hit the arrow!
Faced with these races that can shoot in the air, even Murphy is quite difficult to deal with, let alone these An Dwarfs.
The enemy was killing them, but they couldn't even fight back.
The range of high-level eagle-bodied bows and arrows is about 300 steps, but they shot down from the sky, and their lethality is even more amazing. The gray dwarves were almost unable to attack hundreds of meters in the sky. Some conflicting gray dwarves elite blindly threw the battle axe in their hands towards the enemy in the sky, but they fell down weakly after they reached half the height.
The heavy battle axe with huge kinetic energy suddenly split the unlucky gray dwarf's head in half!
The high-level geeks of hundreds of people actually had such great results. The Athenian generals who only knew how to fight were no longer in a hurry to attack. After all, Murphy issued an order to capture the gray dwarf prisoners as much as possible, rather than destroying them all. It is the best thing to reduce their own losses and avoid excessive killing and fighting results.
In front is a copper and iron wall composed of the Athenian army, and above are high-level archers circling.
After the initial chaos, the chiefs of these gray dwarves made a quick decision to order all to retreat and rushed towards the weak position of the rear encirclement. At this time, the digital talented gray dwarves mages began to release magic and prepared to make a gap from the rear.
The enemy is so powerful that it is better to escape now than to explain it all here.
However, as soon as the gray dwarf mages condensed elemental energy, they attracted the attention of Queen Evanna and the group of Hawk Priests around her.
It is possible for gray dwarves to have arcane mages, but it is difficult to distinguish by looking alone. After all, the vast number of gray dwarves look similar to other races.
So Queen Evanna has been waiting for these gray dwarf mages to come out.
As soon as the elemental energy boom was generated, she led the high-level eagle priest behind her to fly towards the other side without any spell casting. Dozens of forced thrusts aimed at the enemies below, just a round of volleys... and shot the mages into sieves!
Seeing this scene, Murphy was stunned and immediately discovered that these high-level geeks actually had the talent of low-level mage killers!
Because almost all mages below the middle level do not have much protective magic.
Very fragile in melee combat, and also very fragile in shooting with bows and arrows. Ordinary archers may find these mages from the crowd and then aim to shoot, but these high-level hawks do not have such problems because they can fly and have an absolute vision advantage in the sky!
Bang bang bang bang!
The elite troops gathered by the gray dwarves tried to break out of the encirclement. They raised their shields and waved their battle axes and rushed towards the Athenian soldiers behind. Suddenly, a series of dull collisions echoed on the battlefield. Because there was no gun array, the gray dwarves in the front easily rushed into the Athenian army and dragged the enemy into close combat. The gray dwarves in the rear roared forward, trying to expand the results of the battle and tear a gap into the encirclement!
But at this moment.
An extremely majestic and stunning tall figure appeared on the battlefield.
"Damn gray dwarf! Eat my old Chen's stick!" Panda Jiuxian's face was full of murderous aura, and he roared and waved the thick wooden stick into a large group of gray dwarfs! The thick wooden stick was like a windmill by the Panda Jiuxian's wheel. As long as it was a gray dwarf that was stained, no matter he was a silver subspecies or an elite warrior, he would be either killed or injured immediately! His seemingly obese and bloated body shape had extraordinary agility. Those gray dwarfs could not even touch their edges. Even some gray dwarfs threw out the battle axe in their hands and were easily swept aside!
One horse can defeat a thousand troops!
The lethality of the melee power in the legendary field on the battlefield was simply to break out of the formation by crushing!
Since it is a battle, there will inevitably be losses.
The Grey Dwarf suffered a lot, and Athens also suffered certain casualties. This panda wine fairy has always lived in the military camp because she looks cute and has a very simple person. It can be said that she gets along well with many Athenian soldiers. But just now, because she was one step late, an Athenian officer who had drunk wine with it, sent it barbecue, and helped it clean the room was killed in front of him!
A heavy dwarf battle axe took his life, this Athenian warrior who was not a friend, but had drunk three hundred cups with it.
How can this not make the Panda Jiuxian angry and murderous intent?
For a moment, it forgot that Murphy said to catch the living mouth as much as possible, but instead waved a thick wooden stick and rushed towards the gray dwarf's original formation! It immediately rushed over the entire gray dwarf's front!
After rushing for a while, it finally remembered Murphy's order.
He turned around and rushed around toward the gray dwarf chief hiding inside. No one could stop it.
at the same time!
On the other side of the battlefield, the rich fire elements began to gather.
This terrifying elemental movement not only changed the face of the gray dwarf shaman who had some perception of magic, but even Murphy, who was located on the hillside, was shocked!
"Damn it! She actually expanded the range to attack magic!" Murphy's intestines were now regretful!
If he had known that this legendary mage girl would release such an amazing large-scale attack magic, he would not have invited her over without hesitation. This strong elemental boom, and the most lethal fire element, if she was really let go, even if these gray dwarves surrendered, there would probably be no more left?
But it's already late.
The legendary mage girl has completed the magic in her hand and let out a jiāo shout!
A "Dragon Break Slash!"!.
Chapter completed!
