Chapter 12 The Siege of the Gnolls
Standing on the back of a strange giant horse acting as a mount, Roger looked around, but saw shadows all around him, full of zombies.
Surrounded?
As expected.
Roger was mentally prepared for his current situation, so panic does not exist, and accidents are even more impossible.
Not counting the ordinary werewolf who died at Roger's hands in the past half month. The ugly barbarian soldiers alone have exceeded 90. Don't think that this number is very small. You must know that each werewolf barbarian soldier is at the same level as the apprentice knights. It is a reserve for the extraordinary power of the race and is the backbone of the race's future.
Although the zombies live in the wild and are in a more difficult environment than humans, the probability of the zombies appearing is much higher than that of humans, no matter how high it is, it will have a limit. If you can just walk around the wild and encounter a few or even dozens of zombies in a day, even if the zombies cannot defeat the Storm Kingdom, they can maintain a balanced power and will not be completely suppressed like they are now.
Roger realized this as early as when he was cleaning up the nearby werewolf soldiers for the power of faith. In the heart of this province of Taimo, there were such an abnormal gathering of werewolf soldiers on a large scale, and there were also an astonishing number of werewolf soldiers, which must be hidden in it.
If Roger guessed correctly, it was not just the storm that the storm was raging, it must have involved some people in the Storm Kingdom, and only artificial indulgence could have so many scoundrels appear in a border province that had risen with military force.
But, what does this matter with Roger?
Roger was not interested in getting to the bottom of the matter. He was interested in getting what he wanted from the werewolf barbarians, that's all.
After playing this game, you should be able to make up all the needs.
Roger, who was trapped in a heavy siege, did not choose to break through, but made a decision to stick to it.
The strange giant horse he used to travel for transportation was directly on the ground, and the abdomen of the carriage-like carriage-like contacted the ground. The stone wall wrapped in sand and soil protected Roger inside. Except for the small holes used to ventilate and observe the outside world, everything else was covered tightly.
When shaping this mount, Roger had imagined that he would fall into a melee or fight with less. Now it really comes in handy, and there is no need to waste his mental power. There is a simple defensive fortification available.
Without additional mental power consumption, Roger can control six Iron Man. Once this number exceeds this number, his mental power recovery speed cannot keep up with the consumption.
How much can six Iron Man play when facing hundreds of gnolls?
"I have to fight before I know."
Roger said so.
With his location as the center, six Iron Man formed a defensive circle with a radius of ten meters, ready to welcome the attack of the werewolf. In front of the Iron Man, a thick earth wall rose, blocking the jealous's gaze and providing certain protection for the Iron Man.
The appearance of the earth wall is Roger's masterpiece. He cannot directly let the Iron Man face the attack of the gnolls. After all, the stone Thresh Axe thrown by the werewolf soldiers is not small to the Iron Man.
The gnolls became impatient. During their hundreds of years of war with humans, human mages wrote their glory with the lives of countless gnolls. The hatred and fear of human mages have been engraved into the blood of the gnolls.
"Ao..."
"Wooah..."
There were so many wolf howlings coming from all around, one after another, as if communicating.
In fact, the werewolves were indeed communicating. The calls came from the mouths of the werewolves and barbarians, and they were discussing how to attack. When they had decided to discuss, the guys all howled to the sky.
It doesn't matter how they howled, but what's important is that the other zombies' eyes turned red when they heard the sound, and each of them looked like chicken blood. They were red with red eyes and howled excitedly, and they spread their legs and rushed towards the direction where Roger was.
This is the beginning?
Roger curled his lips and let ordinary zombies take the lead. Those werewolves were not completely brainless. If they met a normal human mage, ordinary zombies could also exert a large amount of their magic power. However, this time the zombies were going to deal with Roger.
"Can't fodder without quality means nothing to me."
The werewolf, who was running wildly with red eyes, was about to rush to the earth wall, but suddenly felt his feet soft and he stepped on the empty ground. The originally solid land had become a mud at some point, soft and unbearable. Not only did it prevent the people who stepped on it from exerting force, but it also trapped them in and unable to move.
With a slumber technique, Roger successfully created a small-scale geographical advantage for his side.
The gnolls were trapped in the mud and could not move, but the Iron Man did not. The latter stood on the edge of the mud and waved their large iron knife arms, making full use of their own advantage of their large attack range to kill all the gnolls in the mud.
The death of the companions did not scare the werewolf. Instead, the smell of blood stimulated the werewolf's cruel nature. They howled louder, ran faster and rushed more wildly.
But the faster you rush, the faster you die. If you step on the mud swamp that cannot be used, you will sink to your waist. Such a zombie can only slay the neck when facing the butcher knife swinged by the iron man. A slight resistance has no effect at all.
Even so, the impact of the werewolf did not stop with the shouts of the werewolf soldiers.
Not long after the two sides fought, nearly a hundred werewolf corpses were added to the ground.
With so many tribes dead, the werewolves were not without their gains. The dead werewolves used their corpses to pave the way for their subsequent companions, so that the werewolves behind could step on their corpses and rush through the mud.
As soon as they rushed over, the zombies' advantage in quantity was quickly revealed. The Iron Man's defense circle was hit by these zombies who were not afraid of death and retreated. The defense radius was compressed by two meters straight into the inner circle before stabilizing the position with the help of Roger's spell.
Roger admitted that he underestimated the werewolf. Unexpectedly, under the command of the barbarians, the werewolf changed their usual image of bullying the weak and fearing the strong, and each became fierce and fearless.
If I let the zombies fight with this momentum, I will be passive and I must find a way to break the deadlock.
The way to break the deadlock is simple for Roger, and it is still the mud slug technique. However, this time the mud slug technique has a larger range and wider range, which has expanded the ten meters outside the Iron Man defense circle.
It was the appearance of this muddy technique that interrupted the zombie's attack. The werewolf in front of them had attacked the Iron Man. Seeing that the Iron Man's defense circle was still compressing, who would have thought that the teammates behind him would break the block, resulting in a failure. When the zombie passed through the muddy technique again, the werewolf who was fighting the forward had already been killed by the Iron Man.
Then, another round of battle.
