Half Elf Ranger

Chapter 46 Fierce fight
In the dim ruins of Taran village, the only source of light is some torches with flames flickering on the walls.

Under the hazy light, the most conspicuous thing is a nearly four-meter-long metal flagpole in the center of the village.

On the blood-stained old banner, there are clear and eye-catching patterns of sword clashes and majestic mountain peaks!
A gust of cold wind blew by, and the flag of Yuanshan Town rattled in the night.

"Fire arrows!"

The warrior standing on the roof of the ruins raised his javelin and shouted loudly, then swung it with all his might, and the sharp javelin shot at the attacking Warg knight with the restlessness in the air.

As a charging wolf knight fell down with a scream, the echo of the bowstring and the click of the trigger of the heavy crossbow rose and fell with each other.

A dozen rangers and rogues holding short bows and heavy crossbows suddenly appeared inside the stone wall of the ruins.

Standing next to the crossbowmen are warriors holding spears, the sharp spears flickering slightly coldly on the torches.

To deal with the agile Warg Knights, the most effective means of attack are dense arrows and armor-piercing spears that are more than three meters long!

The tense faces of the crossbowmen looked at the warg knights who were about to charge into the line of defense, and angrily poured out a rain of arrows.

Whoosh whoosh!
puff!puff!puff!

Facing the sound of arrows piercing flesh and blood.

The ferocious eyes of the warg knights gleamed with the desire for blood and killing. With the galloping arrows on their backs, they rushed towards the line of defense composed of rangers and rogues amidst howling screams.

——"Shield Sprint!"

A warg knight under heavy rain of arrows just rushed out of the attack range of the arrows.

The double-shield guards, whose whole body was covered in cold metal plate armor, raised their fine steel shields, bursting out with a strong impact, and went up to them.

bump!
Click!

With the whimper of the warg and the cracking sound of the skull being crushed, the warg knight drew a perfect parabola and fell heavily to the ground.

bump!
The round shield in the left hand of the Double Shield Guard accurately withstood the heavy blow from the flail of another Warg Knight.

The warg knight grinned, tightened the reins of the warg, and prepared to continue swinging.

puff!

Two sharp spears pierced through the wolf man's chest like a bamboo.

bump!
The double shield guard took the opportunity to raise the steel shield again and slapped the grinning wolf to death on the ground.

Bah!Bah!Bah!
In the dim night, three shadows emerged from the rain of arrows, and then jumped up.

They seem to have descended from the sky, carrying powerful maces, and smashed fiercely on the cold metal helmets of the double-shield guards, leaving traces of a large piece of metal plate armor dented.

The body of the double-shield guard who was hit hard was shaking, and he struggled to lift the stainless steel shield to make a final defensive posture, and the dark red blood was continuously overflowing from the gap of the cold helmet.

Roar!
The wolf man's crotch roared, and instantly knocked the standing body of the double shield guard into the air.

puff!

The two warriors with endless hatred in their eyes took the opportunity to swing their sharp spears, leaving shocking blood holes on the furry bodies of the Gnoll and the Warg.

Bah!Bah!
As soon as the two warriors holding the spears retracted their weapons, they were struck by the meteor hammers on the flails of the other two wolf knights and hit their fragile bodies.

The warg pounced, opening its jaws full of sharp teeth, leaving horrific tearing wounds on the two half-dead corpses.

Looking at the crossbowmen who kept firing arrows in the ruins, the Warg Knight exhaled heat and showed a bloodthirsty smile.

——"One-ring spell: greasy spell!"

——"Zero Ring Trick: Flame Arrow!"

The two wargs bowed down and were about to make a leap when a large piece of smooth grease suddenly appeared on the soles of their feet.

Puchi!

The smooth, greasy ground knocked the two Warg knights who were unable to react to the ground.

In the dim night, an inconspicuous orange flame the size of an egg shot into the greased ground.

boom!
Fueled by the luxuriant hairs of the wolves and gnolls, the raging fire burned crazily, reddening the walls of the ruins and the tense faces of the players.

Pardo poked his head out of the ruins, saw the two Jackals rushing out of the sea of ​​flames, and chanted in a low voice.

——"One-ring spell: Arcane Missile!"

Two missiles made of magic energy shot out from Pardo's fingertips, pierced through the chests of the two wolf men respectively, and turned into ashes under the burning of the flames.

collapse!
Under the echo of the soft vibration of the composite longbow, a whistling arrow pierced through the thick night, piercing through a Warg Knight who was trying to approach the crossbowman's line of defense.

The flail-wielding Gnoll froze in mid-air with a scream, and fell to the ground. Immediately after, several sharp spears shone with cold light, and ruthlessly stabbed the Wolf and Gnoll to death who couldn't escape.

Thorn looked at the few remaining arrows behind him, and then at the Warg Knights constantly emerging from the depths of the dense forest, with a serious expression on his face.

The Warg Knight and the players only met each other, and both sides suffered heavy casualties, but the number of players is really limited.

As for these wolf knights, Thorne could judge from the high-spirited calls of the wolf and the wolf man that there might be at least 100 of them.

And it is very likely that there are high-level gnoll priests.

Thorne shook his sore arm from continuously drawing the bow, and looked at the five arrows in the quiver behind him.

If this unknown defensive battle tonight ended in failure, all the arrows he shot would not be recovered, so he had to prepare for the worst, and at least keep a few spares.

So Thorn immediately put away the composite longbow, and raised the long sword inserted in the ground, ready to meet the attack of the Warg Knight at any time.

At this time, Thorne suddenly noticed that shallow footprints on the ruins were approaching the crossbowman's line of defense.

It's a gnoll rogue!
Thorn's eyes narrowed slightly, he took a deep breath, quickly jumped out of the bunker with his long sword in hand, and rushed over as a black shadow.

Seeing Thorne's movements, Andelina let out a cry of surprise, parted her red lips lightly, and was about to speak, but finally swallowed it back abruptly.

bump!
Thorn's galloping figure collided into the void, and there was a muffled sound, and then a figure of a jackal falling on the ground appeared strangely from the shadows.

puff!

A cold light flashed across the dark red long sword, and a sword mark appeared on the neck of the wolf-man wanderer caught off guard.

I saw the Gnoll Wanderer's throat beating a few times, and a large piece of bright red blood rushed out, struggling, and soon died.

"Attack the wolf knight in front with peace of mind, I'll block it here!" Thorne said when he saw a crossbowman who was frightened by the gnoll wanderer looking back at him.

Hearing this, the crossbowman nodded with a firm face, turned around without the slightest hesitation and fired sharp crossbows at the constantly charging Warg Knights.

bump!
Not far away, another warg knight passed through the crossbowman's line of defense. The warg twisted his body flexibly to avoid the piercing of a warrior's spear.

The Jackal man on his back grinned, and the mace on the flail smashed the spear warrior's head in an instant.

The Gnoll licked the red and white thing on the mace, his scarlet eyes fixed on Thorne who was not far away, he tightened the reins, and the wolf roared, and quickly rushed towards Thorne.

Just as the warg was about to approach Thorne, the still Thorne jumped back, dodged the worg's pounce, and then bowed slightly, the mace on the flail brushed past his head with a strong wind.

Thorn took the opportunity to charge with his sword, he leaped violently, stepped on the head of the wolf with his right foot, and jumped in front of the wolf man with his strength.

Bang!

Thorne swung the long sword in his right hand to resist the counterattack of the gnoll flail. The mace with the iron chain was blocked by the long sword and wrapped around the blade, making a piercing sound of clashing.

puff!

Thorn immediately swung the dagger in his left hand, and a cold light flashed across it. The head of the Wolf Man was chopped off to the ground, and a turbulent column of blood erupted from his neck.

bump!
Thorn knocked the headless corpse of the gnoll into the air, then turned around and rode on the back of the wolf, pulling the wolf's reins tightly.

During the wild struggle of the warg, a sharp short sword almost completely sank into the neck of the warg, the warg whimpered a few times, and soon fell silent.

Thorn stabilized his figure, chanted the spell softly, and a wooden holy emblem engraved with five-star paw prints slipped out from his left sleeve. The holy emblem shone with a faint light green light in the night.

——"One ring of magic: [Strength] Entanglement!"

As the pale green light spread, the blood-stained weeds on both sides of the ruins surged and grew wildly.

It turned into countless vines covered with thorns, and quickly enveloped the three warg knights who charged again.

"Come on!"

Thorne immediately shouted to the spear warriors who had just arrived.

puff!

As soon as Thorn finished speaking, the sharp spear quickly poked a shocking blood hole in the wolf knight.

bump!
The flail wrapped around Thorn's long sword was thrown violently after he spun a few times!

The blood-stained mace on the flail smashed hard on the head of a jackal who had just escaped, dripping with blood!

Immediately afterwards, he was stabbed to death by the spear warrior who took advantage of the situation.

Thorne held the dark red long sword, wiped the blood on his face with his sleeve, and looked at the wolf knights who were still emerging from the depths of the dense forest.

He once again truly experienced the pale and powerless frustration of low-level professionals when faced with a large group of enemies.

"I can only do my best." Thorn murmured with his head bowed.

He is not a person who is afraid of death, but he is not a person who likes to die in vain.

If the battle situation cannot be reversed, he can only take the opportunity to escape.
