The battle had already begun. The Gnolls were the first to attack.
It was dawn, and a total of six mutant coyotes were coming menacingly. Following behind them was a dense group of Gnolls.
Ordinary people would feel a chill in their hearts if they saw this scene.
Although the combat power of the Gnolls was not that great, their numbers were enough to overwhelm everything.
Unless the cavalry of River Beach City was mobilized, it would be difficult for the White River Valley guards to fight against these Gnolls.
Everyone hid behind the fortifications and held their breath.
The mine they chose was the closest to the edge.
There was a hill on the left, and a forest on the right. Relatively speaking, it was easier to defend.
The guards gripped their weapons tightly, ready to deal with the surprise attack of the Gnolls at any time!
The last time they faced such a situation, Ma Wen ordered them to evacuate because they were outnumbered.
But this time, they could not retreat!
Taking back their hometown was their only choice!
…
"I need a little time!"
The archer Joey wasn't disgusted when he heard the greeting from the dual swords. Instead, he agreed to it readily.
Experienced adventurers knew what to do in a battle.
Although it was agreed that Ma Wen would deal with the Gnoll Warlock, he was just a lone Ranger. If he could not find the enemy's hidden Warlock, the battle would be very troublesome.
Joey did have some extraordinary abilities, otherwise he would not have made a name for himself in River Beach City alone.
His Deep Insight ability was not only a great restraint against sneaking units, but it was also very useful for searching!
After a while, he found the short Gnoll in the half-dark environment!
Unlike the other Gnolls, this short Gnoll stood on a small hill in the southeast. There were more than a dozen guards around him.
They did not charge, but just stood where they were.
The rest of the Gnolls were divided into three groups, maintaining a certain distance, and charged towards the human camp!
"I didn't expect this Warlock to know a little about military affairs!"
Ma Wen's heart skipped a beat. This guy really had high intelligence.
Originally, the attacks of the Gnolls were scattered and disorderly, but under the command of this Warlock, they seemed to be a lot more organized.
This was not easy to deal with.
Under Joey's guidance, Ma Wen also quickly discovered him.
As long as they could kill the Gnoll, the battle would be much easier.
But now there was a problem.
There was quite a distance between them. Ma Wen was hiding in the camp, and the cunning Warlock was far away on a small hill in the southeast!
He had guards by his side.
Stealth was definitely not going to work. This Warlock had the Eye of Pain. All invisible units in front of him were just asking for trouble!
"Joey, come and help me!"
Ma Wen thought for a moment, then called out to the archers.
He rolled on the ground and came to Ma Wen's side.
His movements were very careful, so the gnolls didn't notice him.
"I'm going to kill that Gnoll Warlock."
"But I need your help. First, we need to get closer. "
"You know stealth, right? It doesn't matter, we don't have to get too close. A Warlock's Eye of Pain has a range. "
Marvin quickly explained his battle plan once more!
After listening, Joey thought for a moment and felt that the plan was feasible.
Ma Wen called out to Anna, then the two of them used stealth at the same time and went around the east side of the camp.
…
On the battlefield, the six menacing mutant hyenas were about to rush to the camp!
"Is that woman Anna scared out of her wits?"
"It's already come to this, and she still won't let us make a move?"
In the mine, Cat Head saw this scene and couldn't hold back.
The people in the Bobcat Squad were also a little uneasy.
In their eyes, the White River Valley guards couldn't stop this wave of attack at all.
If they collapsed, they would also be in great danger.
At this time, they should rush out in one go and kill all those Gnolls.
Why didn't Anna give the order?
This made them very puzzled.
However, the captain of the other squad, Gru, was very calm.
He held his two-handed sword and continued to observe the situation. Facing the uneasy team members, he only said one sentence.
"Wait a little longer."
The people from Thorn immediately relaxed.
After going through so many battles, they had absolute trust in their captain.
Since the captain had said so, waiting a little longer would definitely not be a problem.
However, they were also very curious. Yesterday, when the White River Valley team members were building the fortifications, a few of them had disappeared for a period of time. They didn't know what they had gone to do.
How were they going to stop the six seemingly invincible hyenas?
…
The answer was soon revealed.
Just as the six hyenas were about to rush up the fortifications, Andre, who had been observing the situation, suddenly shouted.
"Cut!"
Bang bang!
A few crisp sounds came from the forest at the side!
Everyone was stunned and looked to the side!
It was only then that the careless adventurers noticed that the two big trees that had been standing at the edge of the mine were tied with a few thick hemp ropes at some point in time.
The other end of the hemp ropes was wrapped around the other big trees!
Andre's order just now was due to the two guards hiding in the forest cutting the hemp ropes!
Crunch! Crunch!
The two big trees suddenly began to tilt!
The direction in which the trees were tilting was the direction of the battlefield!
The mutant hyenas were shocked and tried to slow down. However, their speed had been raised to a very high level when they were running earlier. How could it be easy to slow down?
Two breaths later, the two thick trees fell to the ground!
Rumble!
Dust flew everywhere!
The whole ground was shaking!
…
"I see!"
"It turns out that the two trees had been cut down earlier and were only hanging by ropes. The group of Gnolls didn't notice this. They really deserved it. "
"The person who thought of this tactic is really a genius."
Farne's eyes lit up and he could not help but praise.
The other adventurers also showed looks of admiration. For them, being able to kill their opponents without shedding a drop of blood was the best thing in the world.
…
When the big trees fell, the Gnolls were greatly frightened!
With a wail, the mutant hyena at the front was directly smashed into meat paste by the falling tree!
The second hyena did not manage to stop in time and directly hit the tree trunk, its brain rupturing!
The few that followed were lucky. They slowed down and tried to jump over the thick trees!
However, at this moment, torches were thrown out from the hands of the guards!
The torches fell on the trees, and the trunks that were covered with flammable pine resin immediately ignited!
In an instant, the camp of the humans and the Gnolls formed two walls of fire.
Two mutant hyenas jumped over, but their fur was ignited by the flames.
The other two were so scared that they hesitated.
As for the other Gnolls, they were so scared that they did not know what to do.
As for the human side, they had a great momentum!
Anna raised her sword and shouted, "Gru, Farne!"
"Do it!"
The two leaders of the adventurers immediately rushed out of the mine.
The two mutant hyenas that jumped over the wall of fire had just escaped the disaster, but they were surrounded and killed by the adventurers!
The situation was suddenly reversed!
…
Outside the mine, the guards of the White River Valley were chopping down trees and setting fires, attracting the attention of the Gnoll Warlock.
The skinny Gnoll Warlock revealed a surprised look.
He did not expect the enemy to use such a strategy to stop his attack!
He roared a few times and used his racial talent, [Communicator], to issue a new order to all the Gnolls!
The ability [Communicator] was a very rare talent. It could help the Gnoll Warlock better and more timely command the rest of the Gnolls.
Ignore the wall of fire, go around, and attack with all their might!
This was the order he had given!
Under the command of the Gnoll Warlock, the group of Gnolls found the direction and began to try to go around the wall of fire from the east and attack the enemy's camp.
However, at this moment, eighty meters away from the hill, two fellows stopped in their tracks.
"It's almost here."
Ma Wen whispered, "If we get any closer, he might sense it."
"Let's try to make sure we succeed this time."
The archer Joey silently took out his bow and arrow, his gaze solemn.
"I will do my best."
