Half Elf Ranger

Chapter 375 Cleaned Up

In the dimly lit hall, the only source of light was the glare of sunlight shining through a transparent hole in the roof.

In this messy room baptized by fireballs, a group of warriors with long swords on their waists and masked helmets in one hand walked in through the secret door.

All of them were wearing silver-white full-body armor, and they were silent. They didn't look like ordinary warriors. Behind the warriors, there were five or six spellcasters wearing gray wizard robes.

In the direct rays of light, it can be seen that these warriors and spellcasters have two similarities in common.

The first is the emblem worn on the chest: a dragon soaring above the rocky ground.

It can be seen from the manta-like dragon wings of the giant dragon and the pair of horns that protrude above the eyes like two bone plates. The pattern on the emblem is a copper dragon.

Another thing they have in common is the looming bruises on their faces. From a distance, it looks like they have been hammered by small fists. Coupled with their stern faces, it looks...well, it's a bit ridiculous .

A group of people stood in place as if waiting for something to arrive.

During this waiting period, they couldn't help but look at the room once occupied by the red copper dragon.

When they saw the pits on the ground that looked like bombs, and a very deep palm print the size of an adult left on the marble floor, their expressions were all moved, and their faces with light bruises were also touched. It seemed to twitch uncontrollably.

After a while, heavy footsteps came from the secret door of the room again.

Immediately afterwards, Helm, the lord of Iron Horse Town with obvious bruises on his handsome face and a collapsed nose bridge, and Randall, a ruthless wizard in a black coat with a high collar, walked in.

"Why is it so dark in the room?" Seeing that the only source of light in the room was sunlight, the lord of Iron Horse Town frowned slightly, and then subconsciously looked at the ceiling of the roof.

If his memory is not bad, there is a magic crystal lamp the size of a fist inlaid on the ceiling of this room. With the blessing of the constant light technique, this crystal ball is enough to dispel all the darkness in the room.

The moment he raised his head, he seemed to realize something, so he saw the scene he expected:
He saw the transparent hole in the roof that had been knocked out by an unknown creature, and at the same time, he saw a falcon flying across the blue sky, passing through the lazy white clouds.

The lord of Iron Horse Town took a distressed look at the crystal ball that had been taken away on the debris that fell from the roof, and the few small paw marks left behind.

Then he slandered the instigator of all this in his heart, coughed dryly, cleared his throat, turned his eyes to his subordinates, and said, "What are you doing standing there, everyone sit down."

The wide hall of the castle used to gather troops was converted into a dangerous maze by the red copper dragon using magic. In order to prevent the intruders of the maze from cheating, the red copper dragon went out directly through the wall and reinforced it with magic. is very solid.

In short, with their current strength in Iron Horse Town, it is temporarily impossible to dismantle it.

The small meeting room in the back of the hall was also ruined, and a big hole was cut through the roof.

Although the red copper dragon had left, the mess left behind made him sleepless all night with a headache.

"..."

Hearing the lord's order, the group of people did not choose to move, but looked at each other, and then all looked at the chairs that had become black after being ravaged by the flames.

"...Okay, then let's stand and talk." The lord of Iron Horse Town patted his forehead with a bit of a headache, and said to himself, then straightened his expression, and said in a slightly heavy tone:
"Now, I think everyone knows the situation in Twilight Town, so we in Iron Horse Town must not just watch our allies fall into crisis and ignore it, we must take action."

Of course, there is another more important reason for this support, that is, Iron Horse Town after being ravaged by the Red Copper Dragon can be described as impoverished, and they still count on Twilight Town to relieve the crisis.

"The troops have been assembled, and the Red Copper Dragoons are ready to leave at any time." As soon as the lord finished speaking, a rough-looking warrior took a step forward and replied with a deep voice.

"Support is definitely necessary, but the purpose of my summoning you here is to discuss how to perfectly help the allies to resolve the crisis." Helm, the lord of Iron Horse Town, was silent for a while, and found that there was no voice of opposition, and then he said himself idea.

"Isn't the Lizardman ambushing outside the town trying to intercept us have been wiped out by the Copper Dragon, do we have any worries now?" The rough-looking warrior looked at the lord, puzzled and said.

When the hobgoblins and other allies besieged Twilight Town, they had already taken their potential threat into consideration, so they ambushed many lizardmen outside the town who were trying to come to the siege for help.

So they told the red copper dragon who claimed to be the new lord of Iron Horse Town that the Lizardmen threatened the safety of Iron Horse Town.

Then the group of lizardmen were all cleaned up by the red copper dragon...

Since then, the hobgoblins have not dared to send troops to help Iron Horse Town.

This was the only thing that the red copper dragon did for them. Otherwise, if they wanted to quickly support Twilight Town, they had to clean up the lizardmen first.

"However, there are many scouts sent by the hobgoblins around the town, so if we want to support Twilight Town, we must first kill these scouts quietly, or they will discover our intentions, then we will It will fall into a stalemate battle, and it will not be able to play the role of a surprise attack at all, so the gain will not be worth the loss." Helm met everyone's confused eyes and expressed his inner worry.

The reason why their town was called Iron Horse Town was not created on a whim. The main reason is that they have the most cavalry, and most of them are composed of elite knights who have advanced from warriors.

Since Twilight Town took the initiative to launch a successful general attack on the jackals half a year ago, in order to gain a firm foothold in the wilderness, Iron Horse Town and Twilight Town have been firmly tied together and reached an agreement to defend and attack each other.

Because of this, with the help of the mountain dwarves in Twilight Town, they armed them with more than 500 knights, in order to be able to quickly support Twilight Town at any time.

After all, their Iron Horse Town is built on the mountainside, which can be described as easy to defend and difficult to attack, which directly leads to most evil humanoids choosing Twilight Town.

And the role of these cavalry is to take advantage of the siege of Twilight Town to launch a surprise attack from behind, attacking at the same time as the people of Twilight Town, causing them to be unable to take care of both ends.

This kind of cooperation that formed horns allowed them to jointly defeat many groups of lizardmen besieging Twilight Town since the beginning of spring, and both sides gained a lot.

After all, most of the chaotic and evil lizard people in these camps don't like to use their brains, let alone resort to complicated and changeable tactics.

But this time it's different. The enemy besieging Twilight Town is the hobgoblin Hruk from the Forest of Tranquility.

Lawful evil hobgoblins are tactical and disciplined strategic thinkers, and can execute complex battle plans under the direction of a strategically minded leader.

Their best tactic is to conduct thorough reconnaissance to determine the enemy's strengths and weaknesses before launching an attack.

If you have enough ability, you will encircle the town before attacking the town, cut off the enemy's escape route and reinforcements, and then use your own advantages to slowly consume the enemy to death.

Twilight Town is currently under siege.

Moreover, after the hobgoblin has the lizardmen and bully frogmen in the bottomless swamp, it completely makes up for the weakness of the hobgoblin fighters.

If this continues, it will only be a matter of time before Twilight Town is consumed.

Therefore, their previous tactics of cooperating with Twilight Town are no longer useful, because the moment they send troops to support, they will definitely be noticed by the scouts wandering around the periphery of Iron Horse Town, and then use the communication crow to deliver information, and then welcome them It is a circle of encirclement in a dead end.

In other words, if they wanted to launch a surprise attack before the hobgoblins noticed, they had to clean up the scouts wandering around Iron Horse Town.

"Lord Helm, I think you should be very clear about the town's high-end combat power. We don't have assassins who are good at assassination like Horat in Twilight Town. It's not easy to clean up those scouts silently." " said the rough warrior with a helpless expression.

He is the commander of the Red Copper Dragon Knights, and he trains cavalrymen who charge into the battle. As for the reconnaissance, the wizard Randall is responsible for all the reconnaissance, but these spellcasters only use magic to perform reconnaissance. Does not have the art of assassination.

"That's true." Helm, the lord of Iron Horse Town, started to have a headache again. He wanted to find a place to sit down, but when he looked around, he found that there was no part that could allow him to sit down and rest.

He is quite clear about the general situation of the five towns in the Emerald Field.

Waterfall Town has the original residents of the half-elf and the assistance of the Temple of Melikai, and the two leaders are also considered a relatively good match.

Not to mention Bugle Town, they are blessed with an advantage that allows them to have almost inexhaustible goblin kobold cannon fodder, and now they have the addition of orc players, making their strength even stronger.

Stallman Town is occupied by a quasi-legendary magician. A few days ago, he won a very perfect battle. He saw it.

The configuration of Twilight Town is even more exaggerated. In this town, many local tyrants and lords who failed to establish their territories were gathered in this town. In the end, they were all integrated together by Sarajan, directly making Twilight Town a town with the most high-end power.

As for their Iron Horse Town, compared to the other four small towns, it is a bit more difficult. Except for a group of elite knights, the rest is a group of very money-burning wizard players brought back by Randall from the Wizarding Union.

These troublesome wizards would occasionally self-destruct due to failure in spell research, not to mention wasting financial and material resources, and making people terrified all day long.

Thinking of the unlucky wizard who liked to die, and was eventually killed by the fireball he cast, Helm wanted to cry, but couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Now, they are being ravaged by the red copper dragon again, which is really worse.

If he hadn't blown up such an easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack territory with an idea, he would have been submerged in the vast sea of ​​lizardmen long ago.

But it was precisely because of this that the disaster of the Copper Dragon was brought about. If the half-elf ranger hadn't helped them out, they would still be telling cold jokes with little Lolita.

"That's right, isn't there a ready-made one in the town? I almost forgot about him." When mentioning Ranger, Helm seemed to think of something, his expression was startled, and he blurted out.

"You're talking about the half-elf ranger from Fallstown, right?" Wizard Randall said, looking at Helm.

In fact, he had thought of this ranger a long time ago, but his magic pet found that this somewhat unreliable ranger left Iron Horse Town at dawn, which meant that he could not be counted on at all.

As soon as Randall's words fell, the other people in the room immediately understood and nodded.

After all, this ranger is an existence that dares to challenge the legendary dragon head-on, and it is not easy to deal with those scouts wandering outside the town.

Moreover, the most important thing is that half a year ago, the other party broke into the Gnoll camp together with the assassin Horat of Twilight Town, and successfully assassinated the Gnoll's Yeenogu's fangs, which directly led to the victory.

In other words, he is also very proficient in the art of assassination.

"Then wait for him to come. Last night, I informed him to come here to discuss about supporting Twilight Town." The lord of Iron Horse Town relaxed his expression and said to everyone.

The wizard Randall wanted to remind Helm that the ranger had actually left long ago, but seeing the happy look of the other party, he finally didn't say anything.

Since the red copper dragon came to Iron Horse Town, the lord has never been so happy, so let him be happy for a while, and when he gets impatient, it's not too late to hit him again.

So the group whispered, looking forward to the stars and the moon, waiting for the ranger who hadn't shown up yet.

In this way, the crowd waited for almost an hour, and when the impatient wizard Randall was about to explain the reason, the figure of the ranger actually came out of the secret door.

So much so that he swallowed the words abruptly, and secretly thanked that he didn't say it.

Seeing Thorne coming in, the lord of Iron Horse Town was about to speak, and he was the first to speak out to Convenience: "I have cleaned up the scouts that the hobgoblins planted around the town. You should immediately gather troops and set out to support Twilight Town."

Then, Thorne pondered for a while, and continued: "I have contacted the people in Twilight Town in advance, and they will try their best to drag the hobgoblin army until the time when the sun is strongest at noon.

When the time comes, those Kuo-tao murlocs, bully frogmen, and lizardmen will not be able to keep their skin moist due to the high temperature, resulting in weakened combat effectiveness, and then you can launch surprise attacks based on the signal flares.

So, good luck to you, I'm going to Twilight Town one step ahead of time. After Thorn finished speaking in one breath, he ignored them, turned and walked out.
