Half Elf Ranger

Chapter 249 Counterattack
The sky was overcast, with gunpowder smoke in the air mixed with low-hanging gray and white cloud shadows, reflecting the glimmering pools of blood on the ground mottled and dark.

"Boom!"

When the bang of the explosion stopped, the slightly trembling ground returned to calm again, and the billowing smoke gradually dissipated, revealing the scene below the city wall, just like the hobgoblin war song sang, it really became a tragic field of Shura.

Limbs and arms were everywhere, screams and wailing rose and fell, and a large number of cannon fodder captives and hobgoblin warriors fell to death in a pool of blood.

There was a disgusting smell of blood and pungent sulfur in the air, and in the craters bombarded by huge fireballs, one could clearly see corpses half-buried in the mud, dripping Drops of blood seeped into it, turning black and red.

All the defenders on the city wall were stunned by the scene in front of them, as if time was suddenly frozen in the deafening roar.

The archers stopped shooting, the spellcasters chanted paused, and the movements of the warriors who lifted the stones and logs froze in the air. When everyone reacted, except for the still buzzing tinnitus Beyond the sound, there were howls and screams that rose and fell at the bottom of the city wall.

The dignified Carlos breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his tense expression. He wiped off a few drops of cold sweat from his forehead, looked at the crowd and said, "The fireball just now was too scary. I always thought it was coming towards us. Those who came here, did not expect that when it was about to approach, they would suddenly fall down."

When he noticed that the oversized fireball was roaring towards the city wall, he actually started to panic. After all, the location where the fireball was launched was the direction of the siege tower where the head of the hobgoblin army stood.

"It seems that something must have happened when the siege tower was shrouded in black clouds." Carlos murmured suspiciously in his heart: "Could it be that a high-ranking wizard came to support it?"

"It didn't fall suddenly, because the target of this fireball is these hobgoblins who are besieging the city." Torvi, resting against the wall, shook his buzzing head, and then grabbed the pipe with trembling hands Sending it to his mouth, he took a few puffs hard, and exhaled a big mouthful of thick smoke as if he was relieved.

"It must be him!" Only the sorceress Anderina's watery eyes showed a trace of strange look.

Because she once heard Thorne talk about how to study the technique of accumulating energy, it is obvious that he has succeeded.

"Retreat!" On the battlefield, several hobgoblin commanders, who saw the situation was not good, noticed the legion commander who had never delivered the order. Knowing that this war would end in failure, they commanded all the remaining hobgoblin fighters to prepare for an orderly retreat. .

"Warriors of the Bonebreaker Tribe! Kill all these bastards for me! Leave no one behind!"

In the center of the battlefield, the leader of the ogre who broke through the line of defense led a large group of ogre warriors with hideous faces, rolling out roaring like beasts.

"Boom!"

A fireball the size of a washbasin was thrown from the ogre's hands, and a dazzling flame erupted. More than a dozen hobgoblin warriors fell down in the half-covered soil and howled in pain.

Accompanied by the ups and downs of howling wolves sounded one after another, the orc wolf cavalry armed with curved blades nimbly shuttled around every corner of the battlefield.

Swords and swords flickered frequently, and blood sprayed continuously, and the fleeing enemy troops fell to the ground one after another.

At this time, a black shadow appeared in the hazy sky, approaching the city wall at an extremely fast speed.

"Roar!"

With a ferocious face and scarlet blood dripping from its mouth, the Fulong Beast roared angrily at the soldiers holding armor-piercing spears.

"Stop it all! It's our own!" Carlos, who noticed the situation, hurried over to stop it.

Fulong Beast glared at everyone fiercely, flapping its dark red leather wings that were extremely disproportionate to its body, it fell steadily into the city wall.

"Thorn!" The sorceress Andelina exclaimed when she saw the figure lying on the back of the Volcano, and hurried over.

"I'm fine..." Looking at the people around, Thorn raised his head and smiled with difficulty. Although the injury on his shoulder was visible to his bones, it was not fatal and did not affect his actions very much.

However, because the Qi energy in his body was exhausted by him when he cast the fireball just now, causing his whole body to become weak and weak, so he chose to let his reluctant animal companions drive him here.

Since his "Qi Refining Technique" has improved to a higher level, he can already clearly feel the substantial increase in the energy of Qi in his body.This is also the main reason why he can consume all the energy in his body and cast such a powerful fireball.

Then he threw a head in his hand in front of Carlos: "The head of the hobgoblin's legion has been killed, and the enemy army has also collapsed. We can counterattack."

"So, you fired that oversized fireball just now?" Carlos glanced at the bloody hobgoblin's head on the ground, and looked at Thorne in shock.

"I've said that it can't be the kobold warlock in Horn Town. I've seen the power of that guy's fireball many times. How could it be compared to this one?" Torvi dragged his weak body that had not yet recovered. , walked over and said with a smile:

"However, you, a ranger, have done all the work of the fort wizard. How can we let the spellcasters in the town of waterfalls mess around in the future?"

"Now is not the time to talk nonsense, let's launch a counterattack." Thorne said, getting up with the support of the sorceress Andrina.

Feeling the movement on its back, Fulong Beast pouted with dissatisfaction, and lay its whole body on the ground.

"It's so good." Seeing Fulong Beast made such a witty move, Thorne smiled.

So he took this opportunity to raise his arm and touched its hideous scale-covered head. Although it was rough and thorny, it finally gave him a hand addiction, but it affected the wound on his shoulder and caused him so much pain. Grinning.

"Roar!"

The Fulong Beast turned its head and growled at Thorne in a low voice, and sprayed a small amount of light green mist at him, expressing its inner dissatisfaction.

"What time is it, you still have the mood to tease it." Andelina looked helplessly at Thorne's pale face, staring at the shocking knife wound on both sides of his shoulder and a scar torn by sharp teeth , complained distressedly: "You are too messy."

"It's okay." Thorne smiled and gave Anderina a reassuring look, and then, with her support, walked towards the lounge behind the city wall.

"The hobgoblin's supreme commander has been executed! Put down the drawbridge! Open the city gates! Warriors of Fallstown! Rush out with me! Kill all intruders!"

At the same time, Carlos, who reacted, glanced at the hobgoblins who had already fled, raised the head of the hobgoblin army leader in his hand, and shouted at everyone on the city wall.

Then he led all the fighters who still retained their fighting power down the stairs and rushed out of the city.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

As soon as Carlos finished speaking, the passionate and frenzied sound of war drums echoed in every corner of the city wall.

"Ccrunch! Crunch!"

The suspension bridge over the moat slowly descended, making an unpleasant and piercing sound, as if mocking the hobgoblins who were brave enough to die but chose to escape.

Immediately afterwards, the heavy door rumbled, emitting a bright light and countless firm and crazy gazes.

Immediately, the originally very wide city gate seemed to suddenly become narrow, and the black soldiers, like a dam with its gates opened, rushed out like a tide.

Accompanied by shouts at the top of their lungs, and with soaring arrogance, they pursued all the fleeing enemy troops.

"Half-elf warriors in the upper city, pull out your sharp blades and charge out!" The half-elf girl Lilia put down the longbow in her hand, and shouted to the crowd a little tiredly.

"Zheng!Zheng!Zheng!"

As soon as the words fell, the sound of sharp blades being unsheathed sounded one after another, and the cold light of the sword blade made the scarlet blood on the ground even more strange and dazzling.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of rushing footsteps echoed one after another.

These half-elven longbowmen, many of whom were agile rangers, jumped directly from the city wall.

Some took advantage of the slope of the city wall and relied on their strong coordination and control over the body to show the crowd flying over the wall with light steps.

Some took out the claw hooks with ropes and slid down, and even a third-order ranger jumped directly without any scruples, and fell steadily to the ground, leaving only a galloping back.

This is a fateful battle!
Because the town of Falls is the only home of these compatriots and half-elven races living in other worlds.If this place falls, the half-elves can only continue to exile in the mainland until they find or establish their own pure land again.

And these compatriots from other worlds will lose their final refuge. They will either bow to the power of the original residents, silently endure and abide by their culture and system, slowly forget their own civilization, and eventually be assimilated.

Or you must cross the Emerald Fields and join the forces established by other brethren, but this is the season of resurrection, and after enduring the monsters and evil humanoids who endured a whole winter, they wake up and yearn for every moment. Bloody feast, this is destined to be a migration full of killings.

Therefore, only one's compatriots can truly understand the difficulties of survival of one's own race.This is why, no matter what race, they always like to get along with people of the same race, because they can find an inexplicable intimacy in each other.

This kind of intimacy is like a person who wanders in a different place in order to survive, and suddenly meets another person from the same place.They gathered together to speak a common language and familiar dialect, looking for some inexplicable intimacy in each other.

The half-elf race is eager to have a territory of their own, in which they will not suffer rejection and indifference.

And these compatriots who are living in another world and cannot go back, why don't they want to long for a home that is exclusively their own.
