Hunter starting from Hunter World

Time flew by, and three days passed in a flash.

Just as Allen was preparing to set off again with more than 3,000 cavalrymen who had undergone simple training, the 2,000 reinforcements sent by the emperor finally arrived successfully.

Looking at the weather-beaten middle-aged man in front of him, Allen unexpectedly called out the man's name: Ignaus? What kind of wind brought you here?

Long time no see, Your Majesty the Duke. A smile suddenly appeared on the middle-aged man's originally serious face.

He is none other than the former leader of the Alteran tribe, and is now the key figure responsible for guarding the north and preventing trolls from moving south through the Alteran Mountains - Ignaus.

Under normal circumstances, this person would never leave his territory easily.

And as a highlander, he hates the relatively warm plains and prefers mountains covered with snow all year round.

What’s even more interesting is that, whether in the original Azeroth script or in this magically modified universe, Ignaus finally fought through a one-on-one duel with Thoradin. Made friends.

When the entire tribe was incorporated into the empire, there were no wars or conflicts, so the Highlanders of the Auckland Mountains have always maintained a relatively independent state.

In other words, apart from joining the Arathor Empire in name only, they still maintained their original tribal appearance.

The most important thing is that this tribe has fought the trolls the most times in the north and has accumulated rich combat experience.

It will even carry enough flammable materials during battle to prevent the troll's powerful regeneration ability by burning it with fire.

What's even more outrageous is that Ignaus was accompanied by a thousand Highland cavalry and a thousand cavalry wearing royal emblems.

Suddenly, Allen thought of something and immediately asked in an uncertain tone: Did Thoradin ask you to come?

That's right! His Majesty the Emperor is worried that the situation will develop in the worst direction, so he asked me to bring people to help first. But it seems that you have taken the initiative and are you ready to take the initiative? Ignaus He glanced at the soldiers who were ready to go and seemed to have high morale.

You must know that when he came, he was already prepared to face an isolated city surrounded by thousands of trolls.

But the actual situation seems to be much better than expected.

Moreover, he did not see the fear of trolls and war in the eyes of these human warriors. Instead, they looked eager to make achievements.

Morale is always one of the most important factors affecting the outcome of a war.

Ignaus was very curious about what Allen had done to keep soldiers and civilians in such a positive and optimistic spirit.

Seeing the curiosity revealed in the other person's eyes, Allen smiled and pointed at the bloody troll heads hanging on the city wall and said: A few days ago, I took the initiative with one hundred and fifty cavalry to attack in the wild. I set a trap and annihilated hundreds of the enemy's most elite velociraptor cavalry. Now, I'm going to take people to hunt trolls, are you interested in joining?

The Amani Empire's Velociraptor Dragoons?!

Ignaus's pupils suddenly dilated, as if he couldn't believe what his ears were hearing.

As one of the human tribes that has the most dealings with trolls, he is very aware of how terrifying the Amani Velociraptor Dragoons are.

Even on snow-covered mountains, these guys can leap and jump between steep cliffs and mountain streams, launching attacks in unexpected ways.

Whenever he saw the Velociraptor Dragoons appearing, the most effective response Ignaus could take was to hide in the castle and huddle up, using tall and solid walls to ward off these terrifying monsters.

Well! You know, there are many elemental creatures all over this land. I happened to find a thunderstorm element gathering area on the troll's marching route. Allen explained with a smile.

So you introduced those Velociraptor Dragoons into the territory of the thunderstorm element? Ignaus had a look of sudden realization on his face.

Because compared to some fleshy trolls, elemental creatures are obviously more powerful.

After all, reality is not a game, and it is impossible to use an ordinary sword to kill an elemental creature that has no fixed form at all and is just a ball of energy.

Even if there are earth elements in form, it usually takes repeated hits with a heavy hammer to barely kill one or two of them.

Therefore, if there is anything that can restrain the Amani Raptor Dragoon to death, it must be the elemental creature.

No, I sent people to enrage those elements, and then led them to charge towards the trolls. Finally, they circled the two wings at the moment of collision. Although this move caused dozens of brave soldiers to be killed by the trolls, they were all wiped out. Killed all the enemy's Velociraptor Dragoons. At this moment, the troll has lost its mobility, like a powerful, slow and bloated giant. And I am ready to bleed it.

Allen had no sense of concealment and stated his intentions openly.

Anyway, humans have just turned from tribes to empires, and most nobles own a considerable number of horses.

Moreover, almost all adults can draw bows and shoot arrows, and they can form large-scale cavalry archers, imitating the tactics of the grassland nomads on the earth, and drag down the trolls alive in the open plains, grasslands and hills.

Ignaus obviously also noticed the equipment of the cavalry behind Allen.

There is no overly heavy steel armor, but leather armor that is light but has good defense. The weapon does not have a spear or lance, but a combination of saber and bow and arrow.

This is the look of a typical tribal ranger. It is unable to attack the enemy's formation head-on. Under normal circumstances, it can only do some work of containing, harassing, and pursuing.

Before the establishment of the empire, almost every tribe had many of these cavalry.

Because their biggest advantage is that they don’t need to spend too much time and materials to cultivate, and they can easily pull one up.

But since the establishment of the empire, the nobles had their own territories, and these light cavalry began to be eliminated mercilessly, replaced by fewer heavy armored cavalry with more sophisticated weapons and armor.

In small-scale battles, the latter often only needs a charge of heavy armored cavalry to scare those little monsters such as fishmen and kobolds into fleeing.

In addition, due to their explosive defense, heavy armored cavalry are basically difficult to be injured or killed. Naturally, this has become a key development direction for the nobles.

Even Ignaus believed that heavy cavalry was the future development trend, so he equipped his Highland Cavalry Legion with a large number of new scale armor, metal helmets, arm guards, and knee pads.

But now, Allen's approach suddenly gave him another brand-new way of thinking.

As a result, this sturdy middle-aged man who was more than two meters tall immediately asked with great interest: As far as I know, trolls have strong regeneration capabilities, and it is difficult for ordinary bows and arrows to cause effective damage to them. Do you plan to pass How can we make up for this shortcoming?

It's simple! Poison!

With that said, Allen took out a soaked arrow from the quiver behind him and handed it to the other party.

Ignaus hurriedly took it and examined it carefully, even sniffing it with his nose. His eyes immediately widened in surprise: Death Vine?

Oh? Do you know this plant? A surprised expression appeared on Allen's face.

After all, in this barbaric era, human tribes cannot afford scholars who specialize in studying these things, so their knowledge of various plants is very limited. They only know that a few herbs can be used to stop bleeding and prevent wound infections. .

As for poisonous plants, unless they are brightly colored and deadly mushrooms, they will not even be touched.

The most important thing is that this kind of thing called death vine can only grow at the foot of the mountain where it is relatively warm and humid. It cannot survive in the Alterac Mountains at all.

Of course I have seen it! This thing almost killed me when I was a child. But I was luckier and just lay in bed for a few months. All the young people who were poisoned with me died, and The scene of death was very horrific.”

When saying these words, Ignaus showed a lingering fear.

Is it because of accidental ingestion or poisoning? Allen asked curiously.

Poison! At that time, we were in a hostile relationship with another tribe, so they used some despicable methods to kill all the young people in our tribe who advocated tough foreign policy. A few years later, I personally led people to defeat them on the battlefield. Killed them and killed all the guys who participated in the poisoning. I can’t believe that twenty years later, I can see such a terrible thing again.”

After that, Ignaus returned the poisonous arrow to Allen.

During the whole process, he was very careful not to take off his gloves.

Because this toxin can produce very terrible adverse reactions even if it comes into contact with the skin.

I have improved the process of extracting toxins. Not only can it be produced quantitatively on a small scale, but it can also make the extracted toxins more deadly than the original death vine. Did you see the horse archers behind me? Each of them carries two A quiver, a total of forty poisonous arrows. Allen pursed his lips and showed an extremely cruel smile.

More than 10,000 poisonous arrows? It seems that I have to observe a moment of silence for those trolls who offended you. Ignaus made a rare joke.

Let's go and have fun hunting trolls together. With the two thousand cavalry you brought, I think the action can be bigger.

Allen couldn't help but drag Ignaus into the water.

In this way, two cavalrymen set off from the fortress in a mighty manner and approached northwest.

It didn't take long before they spotted the vanguard of the troll army.

These fanged guys have obviously learned their lesson, and almost everyone is carrying a shield.

Although many of them are very crude, and some even have leaves and buds growing on them, they can still effectively resist arrows shot from a distance.

When he saw a large number of human cavalry appearing on the horizon, the troll commander immediately shouted loudly, asking all warriors to gather to form a very tight defensive formation.

Seeing this scene, Allen laughed happily and commented while laughing: Very good reaction speed, isn't it? These trolls are not as stupid as we thought. On the contrary, they are very smart and also They are very good at learning. The only question is, how long can they hold on holding their shields like this?

Why don't you let me speed up the process.

Ignaus drew his sword with a grim smile, and led his two thousand cavalry to start circling around the phalanx formed by the trolls.

From time to time, he would also deliberately pose as if he was about to charge, forcing the opponent to constantly change direction.

Whenever there is chaos in the formation adjustment, Allen will immediately order his cavalry archers to step in and shoot randomly at the areas that are not completely covered by the shield.

In the end, only about ten minutes later, the troll vanguard, which numbered about 7,000 in total, collapsed.

In other words, the troll's violent and irritable character is simply not suitable for infantry phalanx tactics that require strict discipline to maintain.

They rushed forward like crazy, trying to catch up with this group of despicable humans who could only shoot arrows on horseback, drag them off their horses, kill them, and then eat them as food.

Unfortunately, the troll apparently forgot that a two-legged self could not outrun a four-legged horse.

Even if the soldiers charge, they can only close a certain distance in a short period of time, but they will soon be shot to death by the horse archers on the way like walking a dog.

For a moment, the cavalry archers who were temporarily recruited by Allen seemed to have returned to the era of tribal nomads.

They were in groups of three and five, using the speed advantage brought by their horses to keep a certain distance from the trolls, and using their bows and arrows to kill them one by one.

Those who shoot more accurately can even shoot an arrow into the troll's eyes and mouth, penetrate the brain and kill it instantly.

Ignaus also unceremoniously launched surprise attacks from behind again and again, making it impossible for the trolls to reorganize effective resistance.

The massacre lasted for more than forty minutes. By the time the Troll follow-up troops arrived, more than two-thirds of the 7,000 Trolls had been reduced, and the remaining ones had lost their fighting spirit and began to flee.

In comparison, the losses of Allen and Ignaius were almost negligible.

Except for a few unlucky ones who were killed by spears thrown by troll hunters, most of the soldiers were intact, except that their arms were slightly sore from repeatedly pulling bows and shooting arrows.

Asshole! It's that damn human again! Who is he? the warlord from the Amani Empire roared angrily.

Unfortunately, no troll could answer his question.

In other words, before humans established a country, the trolls didn't care about the humans in the south at all, and they didn't send anyone to collect intelligence.

You must know that the death of four to five thousand troll warriors is not a small number.

The most important thing is that in this battle, the human cavalry showed an overwhelming advantage.

In the open grasslands, plains and hilly areas, trolls who are accustomed to hiding in dense forests to fight cannot come up with very good countermeasures at all.

At the same time, Ignaus undoubtedly noticed the gorgeous armor of the Troll Overseer. He touched the thick beard on his chin and asked, Is this the Overseer sent by the Amani Empire?

Yes. That guy has the power of witchcraft in his body. You'd better be careful and don't confront him easily. Otherwise, if you are poisoned by some terrible poison, even I won't be able to save you. Allen lowered his voice. The voice reminded.
