Demon King

Chapter 66: Set fire to the old nest

  All the soldiers wore studded armor with iron armor stitched on brown leather. Forty people were carrying crossbows, a small arm shield tied to their left hand, a crossbow quiver tied to their right waist, and a large sword hanging diagonally behind their backs. Although these people are the security team, they are strictly disciplined, and they are not like the worst mob that Ivo expected. They gave him a small surprise.

   After asking, I learned that the security team in Lima Town often deals with the wolves and bandits who harass the town. They are all experienced veterans.

Deken, Madi’s loyal knight, wears iron-grey round steel armor and a parrot-billed knight helmet. The raised breastplate is engraved with a hoofed stalwart horse. He is riding a Northland alpine horse on the hook of the vest. With a lance. This kind of horse is usually gray-white in color, tall and strong, and is known for its endurance. It is produced in the High Rock Plain of the Kingdom of Lasse.

  Frija has four human kingdoms, Lasses, Barea, Renault, and Kuishuang, the first two of which have famous war horses. Of course the orc tribes, Amazon warriors, mountain people, and dwarves all tamed more powerful mounts, such as wolves, clouded leopards, winged beasts of the subdragon species, and bighorn sheep, but the popularity rate is not as good as that of the northern alpine horses and baryas. Horse.

I spent the day camping at the meeting point. As night fell, the three moons were shining and moving, and the clear light spilled on the branches and leaves of the blade forest, as if plated with silver. It is the night of the midsummer night, and it rained in the morning. Little stream of fireflies are flying, leaving a luminous reflection on the accumulation of water.

The security team was playing with the bonfire. Ander rubbed his hands in front of the bonfire to ease the tension of the battle. David sat in front of the camp, leaning on his cane and closing his eyes and rested. Wiping the saber carefully with the handkerchief, not letting go of any corner.

Ivo was arguing with Demacia about "the feasibility of turning the mouth-cannon into a combat technique". With a sudden ear movement, Hades walked out of the woods and threw the map to Ivo, without saying anything. Find a camp tent to make up for sleep.

   Opened the map and drove the map with densely drawn signs. Ivo smiled with satisfaction.

  ……

"We are divided into two teams, one team of twenty people, Sir David and Hades who knows the terrain all the way, me, Barlow, and Deken all the way. Our task is to harass the blood scorpion nest and remove the outposts by the way. Use long-range attacks, run away after the fight, don't fall in love with the battle, and gradually cannibalize the enemy..."

Ivo explained the guerrilla tactics, took out more than a dozen magic scrolls, threw them to Ender, and said: "Ander will lead the rest of the people to dig tunnels from here to the inside of the blood scorpion nest. It doesn't need to be fast. But it must be kept secret. These are the'fossil to mud' scrolls, save a bit of use, and are all money."

   Ande is most afraid of fighting, and is very satisfied with this arrangement, smiling very brightly.

   "The woods are our natural cover for guerrilla warfare. When the band of thieves becomes overwhelmed, the first reaction must be to send a large number of people to search the Blade Forest. I want them to step into the trap step by step..." Ivo smashed the table.

  Deken doesn’t trust Ivo. In his opinion, letting a kid lead the team is simply nonsense. He hummed, "How can you be sure that your strategy will work..."

   Ivo shrugged, "Take one step at a time."

  ……

There are eight watchtowers around the blood scorpion’s nest. The watchtower is built of wood and is eight meters high. At the top is a platform with guardrails. There are ten thieves.

  The location of the Blood Scorpion’s Nest is secretive, and there has been no one for a long time. The thieves are not vigilant and perfunctory.

Under the cover of the woods and grass, the team of twenty people led by    Ivo lurked in the grass within fifty meters of the arrow tower.

   Ivo pointed to the watchtower: "The alert thieves have signal arrows, and they can be solved by long-range attacks."

   Twenty bows and crossbows were wound, and a shadow of an arrow shot out, nailed into the body of the three thieves on the watchtower, and the three figures fell from the tower.

"superior."

   Ivo shield hammer in hand, leading people to rush to the ten thieves who did not react outside the wooden house.

   These thieves are the lowest-level members. There is no suspense in this battle. The sentry was removed by Ivo's team. The soldiers hacked the bottom of the watchtower with their big swords. Sawdust was flying, and the watchtower soon collapsed.

   cannibalize the enemy, walk when it is not dominant, and do not eat hard when it is dominant.

   was pulled out of five outposts directly, the thieves finally reacted, sent a large number of members from the lair, guarded the last three outposts, guarded the base camp in the shape of a character, and sent a large number of thieves to search for enemies in the jungle.

  ……

Kalilban received a call from the base camp while searching for Bilis, and he was angrily cursed: "Which force is attacking the Blood Scorpion Nest? Is it the heresy court, or the king's two elite guards?" He immediately denied his conjecture.

   In fact, after attacking the capital, he has been guarding against the kingdom's pursuit.

In addition to the identity of the leader of the band of thieves, Kalilban also has another secret identity. He is a Barea. The blood scorpion thieves are the nails inserted in Lasses by the kingdom of Barea. Their duty is to create chaos and looting. Fortune, the alchemy gun is also a weapon sponsored by Barea, the purpose is to destroy the peace of Lasses.

   "Captain, we don't know the identity of the other party. The enemy lurks in the dark. From time to time, we attack the last three guard posts with bows and crossbows. After a round of shooting, we immediately fled and disappeared in the woods. They were few in number and we couldn't catch up."

   "Trash, I'll go back right away." Kalilban cursed, "Send all the hands out and find this group of mice!"

  ……

   At dusk.

Ivo picked up the warhammer that had just killed an investigative thief, and wiped off the blood splashed on his cheeks. At this time, the jungle was full of thieves’ search teams, mostly fifteen people in a team, scattered and searched the woods. There were more than 30 A scout team is distributed throughout the jungle.

Ivo and David joined together and lurked in the woods. The thief’s response was not beyond his expectations. After a few brief encounters, he carefully observed the manpower and strength of the thief search team, and decided to attack and erode some of the thief’s manpower and persecute him. The band of thieves responded as he wanted.

The team of forty people came out of sight and began to attack these scattered investigation teams. After killing the third team, the thieves reacted and adjusted their formation. The teams fanned forward, with only 500 meters between the teams. Once attacked, they can Support quickly.

  This situation basically eliminated the sneak attack. Deken had a "I knew it would be like this" expression on his face, but Ivo only smiled and said astonishingly, "Let's go directly to their base camp."

Although the fan-shaped formation of the thief detection team can defend against sneak attacks, it also sacrifices detection range and flexibility. Seeing that the detection team is getting farther and farther from the blood scorpion nest, the base camp is relatively empty. Ivo also adjusted his tactics to avoid actual attacks. I must have never imagined that I would dare to go to the base camp to make trouble.

   Ivohaha laughed: "Let’s put a fire in their lair to end this wonderful day."

  ……

The blood scorpion’s nest is built in the depths of the blade forest, backed by a small valley, and there is only one road to enter. The entrance is a huge gate made of hard lump rock and pig iron wood. To open it, you must use the gear slings on both sides of the door. .

   Even if there are only a hundred thieves remaining in the cottage, Ivo and others can't get in. Of course, he didn't want to attack.

   A group of people swaggered to the gate and was spotted by the watch towers on both sides of the gate. The thieves were angry with arrows. Ivo asked half of the soldiers to raise their swords in front to block them, and the arrows bounced back to the ground.

   The other half of the soldiers wrapped the crossbow arrows in burlap and wet them in the oil drums that Ivo had prepared. The arrow was ignited with a torch, and the soldiers kept shooting large patches of rocket rain, which fell on the continuous wooden houses behind the gate of the village. The fire rose sharply, illuminating the night sky instantly.

   "Hurry up and put out the fire!"

   "Kill them first!"

   The blood scorpion’s nest was chaotic and noisy. The Ivo chicken was very thief. He shot five waves of rockets, and saw the huge gate trembling slightly as if it was being opened. Knowing that the thieves who stay behind were going to kill them, he drove away immediately.

   ran a few miles all the way, looking back, the blood scorpion's nest blazed into the sky, and the night sky turned red.

   Ivo laughed: "They will be busy tonight."

  ……

At midnight, the fire in the Blood Scorpion’s Nest was extinguished, and the thieves who were investigating outside were also urgently recalled. Kalierban was furious and vowed to pull out this group of enemies and hack them to death~www.wuxiamtl.com~The first day passed. After that, Ivo and others lost six soldiers and got back more than ten times the result.

   After the sudden attack last night, the number of thieves left behind in the Blood Scorpion Nest increased. They patrolled near the base camp and the number of thieves who went out for investigation decreased, but the formation remained the same, and there was no chance of a sneak attack. Ivo led the team to shoot a round and ran away, only occasionally wounding a few people, but the thieves were annoyed by Ivo's constant harassment.

However, the thieves also found that there were not many people in Ivo’s team, so they came up with a countermeasure. The left-behind thieves rest during the day and instead go out to detect thieves at night. They work in two shifts, and the investigation is uninterrupted 24 hours a day. They want to let Ivo and others. Nowhere to hide.

But Ivo had the foresight. Every night, everyone hid in the tunnel that Ander dug out in advance to rest. The entrance of the tunnel was very secret, and it was covered with magic scrolls. I was not worried about being discovered. In his sleep, he heard the footsteps of the detective thief passing by on the ground above his head.

Such days lasted for three days. The thieves who were investigating at night found nothing, and during the day they were repeatedly guerrillas in the woods by Ivo and others. Even though the losses each time were small, but accumulated over the three days, Kalierban was surprised to find out and was injured. The number of thieves has exceeded a hundred, all of them are wounded by arrows, and most of them are exhausted.

"A group of little mice hiding in Tibet!" Kalilban beat the table fiercely, pondered for a while, and ordered: "There is no need for investigation. Form a team of more than fifty people to ambush in the woods. Don’t be too far apart, support each other if necessary, send someone to set up traps at night, and the rabbits that can run will always hit the hunter’s arrow~www.wuxiamtl.com~ Welcome friends to visit and read, the latest and fastest , The hottest serial works are all at ~www.wuxiamtl.com~ For mobile phone users, please go to read it.
