However, just after the axe fell, a small explosion suddenly occurred on the right side of the heavy ballista!
The explosion didn't hurt anyone, and it didn't cause much damage either. It only blew up a small piece of rock. But after it happened, it immediately destroyed the balance of the entire heavy ballista. Because the heavy ballista was originally set up on a slope, it immediately slid sideways after the explosion.
As a result, the giant crossbow arrow of the heavy ballista suddenly lost its aim. It flew past the all-terrain vehicle where Rhett and the others were, then deeply embedded into the wall of the temporary camp next to them.
Suddenly, the wall collapsed. Only those who observed carefully knew that with the point where the heavy crossbow arrow hit as the core, the stones within a dozen square meters were instantly covered with a layer of strange grayish-white color, then turned into powder. Then, the collapse occurred.
This giant crossbow arrow was obviously enchanted with powerful witchcraft!
And this small explosion was caused by Vulture's shadow clone in advance.
At this time, after the upgrade, Vulture's shadow clone could already carry 100 grams of items.
And the shadow clone took advantage of the battlefield's attention focused on Kenny and the others to come to the side of the ballista and put a "gum bomb" on its wheels.
The main components of this thing were RDX and plastic agent. It was simple, convenient, and fast. Even after adding a sensor detonator, the weight was less than 50 grams.
After putting the gum bomb on, Vulture's shadow clone even touched the side of the centaur shaman leading the team and also put down a gum bomb.
Not only that, as soon as the explosion happened, the shadow clone directly chanted pufferfish poison in the shadows.
Then Fang Linyan and the others started the all-terrain vehicle and rushed toward the centaur shaman holding a strange staff.
Although the two sides were separated by a distance of 400 to 500 meters, for the mechanical vehicle that stepped on the accelerator to the maximum and rushed forward quickly, it was just a matter of seconds.
Obviously, their behavior caught the other party off guard. A few seconds ago, the centaur's attention was still on the heavy crossbow arrow or the ballista that missed.
By the time the Centaurs reacted, the all-terrain vehicle had already sped up. It was only two hundred meters away from the Centaur Shaman Priest. At the same time, it also knocked down two Centaurs that were caught off guard.
At this moment, the centaur shaman waved his staff and loudly chanted another spell. There was no doubt that this spell was related to his own safety, so it was bound to be powerful.
It was just that this guy's action had long been predicted by Fang Linyan. After seeing it start to chant, Vulture pressed his finger on the detonator.
Just as the Centaur Shaman was about to finish chanting, a leaf on his staff began to glow, and he abruptly pressed the detonation button. Suddenly, a loud explosion rang out, and the Centaur Shaman was engulfed in smoke and flames.
Obviously, it didn't expect that Fang Linyan and the other two had already set up this foreshadowing and were waiting.
The spell was suddenly interrupted, and it was even hit hard. This guy immediately suffered a serious injury. Blood overflowed from his mouth, and he coughed violently.
According to the information sent back by Vulture, this guy called Wise Utec had been troubled by 2 major negative statuses. One was the spell backfiring, and the other was the continuous bleeding of internal organs.
Therefore, Fang Linyan and the other two continued to rush forward aggressively as if they were going to behead it directly. Seeing their behavior, almost all the Centaurs on the battlefield began to retreat frantically. It seemed that they were going to defend the shaman's safety at all costs.
But … the real goal of Fang Linyan and the other two was not Wise Utec. This guy must be heavily guarded at this time. Even if they could rush in and kill it, the enemy's siege would make them lose a layer of skin even if they didn't die.
How could Fang Linyan and the others be willing to fight this kind of battle that they were not sure of and had no benefits?
It was precisely because of this that Fang Linyan, who was driving the all-terrain vehicle, simply turned the steering wheel fiercely. Then the vehicle directly turned a big corner and used the horizontal body to withstand a wave of angry attacks from the Centaurs.
For a time, various crossbow arrows and stones thrown by the catapult hit the side of the vehicle, making the external composite armor undergo a severe test.
Following that, the car drew a slanted arc, speeding to the side. Along the way, it knocked away a roaring centaur that was pouncing forward. By the way, a centaur's physique was really good.
If it was a human being who was hit like this, he would at least have multiple fractures on the spot and be directly carried to the ICU.
But after this guy was knocked away, he only broke a leg. He was still in high spirits while spitting out fragrant words. At the same time, he also smashed the stone axe in his hand at the all-terrain vehicle … This was enough to prove that his physical fitness was actually not much worse than those scavenger wolves.
Of course, if you want more evidence of the Centaur's physical fitness, Vulture and Goat's pale faces and deeply sunken eye sockets should also count right?
"These primitive looking weapons are very lethal …" Lin Sheng muttered.
Goat looked at a stone spear that pierced through the vehicle body and said with some trepidation.
If this thing could penetrate 10 centimeters more, then there should be a few centimeters deep wound on Goat's body now, and even its eyeballs would be pierced.
At this time, the all-terrain vehicle had already made an arc and arrived at their real target, which was a dozen meters away from the heavy ballista. Vulture continuously waved his hand and threw three flame grenades next to the ballista.
At this time, there was no one around this heavy crossbow. Its guards had already gone to protect the safety of Shaman Utec. In this case, the 3 grenades easily exploded, and then the heavy crossbow was drowned in flames.
No matter how carefully the Centaurs built it, it was impossible to make this heavy crossbow able to withstand the high temperature of hundreds of degrees.
Thanks to the help of Fang Linyan and the other 3 troublemakers, Kenny and others who were originally in danger also successfully retreated.
Kenny, who relied on his semi-mechanized body to support himself, couldn't help but nod and praise when he saw this scene,
"These 3 guys are really good at scheming!"
The attack of the 3 of them not only solved the dilemma of Kenny and others, but also eliminated the heavy crossbow that posed the greatest threat to the temporary camp. At the same time, they also protected themselves and minimized the risk. It could be said to be killing 3 birds with one stone.
Next, the all-terrain vehicle of Fang Linyan and the other two did not drive into the temporary camp, but they continued to wander a few hundred meters away, forming a triangle with the base.
The Centaurs also had a headache. They tried to divide their manpower to attack them, but if there were too many people, Fang Linyan and the others would just drive away.
No matter how good the Centaurs' physical strength was, it couldn't be compared with the human's mechanical creations. They couldn't catch up at all. Even if they caught up with the all-terrain vehicle, it wouldn't hurt them at all.
If there were too few people, the heavy machine gun on the all-terrain vehicle would be able to shoot them down. Not to mention that the combat power of Fang Linyan and the other two was absolutely powerful.
Not only that, Fang Linyan and the others also waited for reinforcements. After the heavy crossbow was destroyed for more than 10 minutes, the unique horn sound also sounded from the west of the battlefield. Jordan of the Magram tribe actually brought 10 people to help.
Jordan was accompanied by a Centaur Warrior who was very tall. If it was inferred from the human age, he should be a young man.
His upper body was covered with crisscrossed scars, and there were five or six thick, oily black braids on his head. His four hooves were quite thick, and when he stepped on the hard ground, they made a powerful "tick-tock" sound. He held a seemingly primitive stone axe in his hand, and when he galloped, he left a string of deep footprints behind him.
This fellow courageously charged into the midst of a Kyrgyz centaur patrol and began a massacre. He chopped down a few enemies in a row, leaving a large gash on his body. Fresh blood flowed out, but he still continued to charge forward ferociously, looking very fierce.
However, this guy was also a hothead. If it weren't for Jordan restraining him, he might have rushed directly into the enemy's army. Then, he would definitely not end well.
After the 2 sides met, Jordan introduced him. It turned out that this guy was her younger brother, Kulak. He was sent here to guard the salt mine before. At this time, he heard that there was a war with the Kyrgyz scums here, so he wanted to come and take a look.
These Magram Centaurs who came to help did not show mercy to the Kyrgyz tribe at all. Instead, they were more ruthless than humans. As long as they were lying on the ground and had no resistance, they would directly cut off their heads and tie them to their waists.
Therefore, after the 2 sides were in a stalemate for about half an hour, the Kyrgyz tribe retreated first, then slowly withdrew. There was also a burst of cheers in the temporary camp.
When Fang Linyan and others returned to the temporary camp, of course, they were warmly welcomed. Even Kenny patted him on the shoulder and praised him for doing a good job.
At this time, Fang Linyan also introduced Jordan's team. This kind of external communication was usually handled by Rhett. The rescue team also realized the importance of the allies at this time, so they began to entertain the guests.
In this regard, they had obviously also collected relevant information. They sent wine and potato chips to Jordan's group, making them eat happily.
According to the rules of the adventure team, Fang Linyan and the other 2 had to report to Talon when they applied to go out to perform a mission.
This time, Fang Linyan and the others had made a great contribution, so Talon also felt honored. He couldn't stop smiling, patting Fang Linyan's shoulder and saying that they were good.
At this moment, Fang Linyan suddenly heard crying from the side. He immediately looked to the side, but he saw a warrior in his twenties wiping his tears. He looked at the man lying next to him with red eyes.
Seeing this scene, Fang Linyan walked over and said,
"What's the matter?"
Talon seemed to know the inside story. He pulled Fang Linyan, then picked up the arrow next to him and said,
"The one crying is Wall's younger brother, Medel. Wall was hit by a few special crossbow bolts when he was charging. Look at this thing."
Fang Linyan looked directly and saw that the material of the arrowhead was very strange. It was something like a thorn needle. A layer of light green was smeared on it. He immediately said,
"It's poisonous?"
Talon nodded and said solemnly,
"Yes, and ordinary antidotes can't neutralize this poison. Only special antidotes are useful, but there are only 4 of them. The boss used 1, and the rest were used by the boss to save the people of the Steel Knights. Wall is a reserve knight, so it's not his turn to use it. "
"According to the judgment of our military doctor, Moore, Wall probably won't live long. He probably won't be able to see tomorrow's sunrise."
At this time, Moore also walked out from inside and said with a gloomy face,
"Medel, your brother's heart rate is very slow and irregular. He has lost his mind, and his expression has been distorted. Obviously, his nerves are seriously affected."
"At the moment when I lack effective treatment, I can only inject him with a cardiac stimulant, hoping that he can hold on until the rescue arrives. There is another way, which is to bleed a lot, but this may also make him die faster. This requires your consent. "
Medel covered his face and cried. He didn't speak. It was obviously too difficult for him to make such a decision.
Fang Linyan stepped forward to check carefully and found that it was indeed the case. The place where Wall was shot by the arrow was terribly red and swollen. In such a short time, there were even signs of rotting and suppurating on the wound. White pus accompanied by blood was still slowly oozing out from the swollen wound.
"How many of us are poisoned by the arrow?" Goat suddenly asked.
Military doctor Moore said,
"There are 4 people, and they are not in good condition now."
Fang Linyan thought for a while and said,
"In fact, it's not completely impossible to say that there is no way."
Moore's eyes lit up and said,
"What do you mean?"
Fang Linyan said,
"The centaurs that I brought back are from the Magram tribe. They are mortal enemies with the Kyrgyz tribe that attacked us. There's a saying that goes, 'The person who understands you the most is not your friend, but your enemy …'"
After hearing this, Talon immediately said,
"You mean to ask for help from them? Is this useful? "
Fang Linyan said,
"I don't know if it's useful or not, but I know that as the two sides are old enemies, the centaurs of the Magram Tribe must have more poisonous arrows than us, and they must be more experienced in dealing with similar wounds."
"But now we are short of medicine anyway, it doesn't matter if I ask."
Military doctor Moore immediately said,
"Of course, no problem!"
***
So soon, Fang Linyan went to find the Magram Centaur group who were laughing and drinking, then the goat said, "Don't worry.
"Oh right! Dear lady, in the previous battle, some of our soldiers were shot by the vicious arrows of the Kyrgyz tribe, and they are now in a poisoned coma. "
"If the conditions permit, I hope you can help to treat them because I heard that you are also a powerful shaman."
Jordan was holding a glass of beer and drinking with his people. This kind of beer was made by the rescue team with cheap beer powder. In fact, the taste was very bad, but for centaurs who could only drink berry wine, it was already a rare delicacy.
After hearing Fang Linyan's request, Jordan said straightforwardly,
"I'm not a shaman yet, I'm just in the awakening period. But if I want to help you save people, I need to cast a spell, and my spell belongs to the tribe, so you have to meet several requirements of our tribe."
Fang Linyan said,
"Okay, tell me."
Jordan said,
"We want one-third of the spoils of war from you and the Kyrgyz tribe this time."
At this time, Kenny heard about this matter, and he also rushed over with his injuries. He thought that Jordan would ask for a lot, but the first condition made him a little confused, so he quietly asked Rhett,
"What spoils of war do we get from fighting with these damn barbaric monsters?"
Rhett was also a little confused.
As a result, when Jordan saw that the people around him didn't speak, he thought that his request was a bit too much. He was a little nervous in his heart, so he couldn't help but whisper,
"Well, I know my request is a bit too much. Then I'll give you the weapons, and we only want the meat of the dead wargs, right? We'll even give you the fur? "
Hearing Jordan's words, Kenny almost spat out a mouthful of blood,
"Cough cough, that … the spoils of war you're talking about, are those corpses outside?"
To be honest, Kenny was a little annoyed to find someone to dig a hole to bury the corpses, so as not to spread diseases, or the smell of blood attracted other predators.
There's actually a fool who likes these broken things? It's really like someone gives you a pillow when you want to take a nap.
As a result, Jordan hurriedly nodded and said,
"Yeah, yeah, after the blood of the wargs is drained, it's very delicious after being smoked with cornflower and sage. The skin of the wargs is also very good at keeping people warm in winter."
Kenny glanced at Rhett at this time. The two had been partners for a long time, so they immediately understood each other. Rhett immediately made a difficult expression and said,
"This …"
Rhett didn't say the latter part because he was embarrassed to continue. He couldn't just say: We also like to eat the meat of the wargs. That would be too embarrassing!
Kenny felt that it was about time, so he said straightforwardly,
"Okay, I'll make the decision. As long as you can cure the poison in my men, I'll give you the weapons, wargs, and whatever."
Jordan immediately beamed with joy and said,
"Okay, okay."
Then, she started blowing the horn, ordering her men to clean up the battlefield. She then went to check on the wounded who had been shot by the arrows.
In the end, as soon as an expert stretched out his hand, one would know whether it was true or not. It could be seen that Jordan was very familiar with dealing with this injury. It was likely that he had done this many times. First, he used a sharp weapon to draw a "cross" on the arrow wound. This way, it would be easier to enlarge the wound.
Then, Jordan took out a wooden jar and directly covered the wound with it. Sure enough, some of the pus and toxins inside were sucked out.
Next, Jordan took out a clay jar that contained a black ointment and applied it on the wound. Strangely enough, after the ointment was applied, the wounded fell asleep one by one, as if they were anesthetized.
After the wounded had fallen asleep for about half an hour, Jordan came over and pried open their eyelids to examine them one by one. Then, she said solemnly,
"The bodies of you humans are relatively weak, so the poison has eroded into your internal organs. I have to go back and concoct some fresh potions for them to consume."
