Chapter 75 Cooperative Hunting
Adventurers act separately from the army.
The fighting styles of the two are not the same type. The training method of the army focuses on offensive and defensive power, while the fighting style of the adventurer focuses on agile dodge. Even the furious barbarians will be higher than the soldiers trained by the army in terms of dodge skills, because the latter is used to fighting styles of large-scale team combat. The adventurer team generally does not have more than ten people, and the most commonly used fighting style is a group of five people, including frontal resistance, roaming, sneak attack and spell therapy. The fighting style of the army is a row of heavy infantry soldiers, holding steel shields in their hands, and a small number of defensive warriors equipped with super tower shields.
A clever adventurer can tell whether he is from an army or has received military training when he sees other people's fighting style.
Sauron's mission is to reconnaise the enemy's situation.
The adventurers were assigned to three teams, one was a reconnaissance team, composed of thirteen rogues and five rogues, all of which were of second-level or above strength. The other was a combat team, composed of warriors, rangers, barbarians, priests, etc. Their mission was to clear out small groups of enemies after the army defeated the enemy, and at the same time serve as flank support to cover the army. Finally, there were one of the few wizards, warlocks and druids, who were the key protection objects to follow the army.
Wizards rarely join the army. They earn more than the army if they do anything casually, and live a comfortable life than the army.
If you want to bear the military pay for hiring a wizard, you will definitely drag down a prosperous city.
Therefore, the most common thing is this kind of employment relationship, where you pay a lot of money to ask them to go out when necessary. Everyone gets a reward before departure. Soren gets 30 Jindlers, 10 Jindlers higher than other warrior professions. According to the world's subconscious and rules, anyone who acts as sentinels, scouts, or infiltrates can get a 50% reward in advance, because they will encounter more dangers, and at the same time, they can get an extra point of loot after the end.
Scouts are not just a simple investigation. They are the vanguards of the battle, and those who dare to act as scouts are all veterans.
Sauron's reward was 60 Jindler.
The spoils that were cleared must be counted after the end, and the things that were fought in the previous one belonged to them. The so-called "a cannon of gold is 10,000 taels of gold" is not enough to dispatch the army. After the army is departing, all military pay is doubled. All kinds of people eat horses and chew together, and a large amount of pension is required for casualties. Although they will not have to pay dozens or hundreds of Jindlers at once like the adventurers, the total cost is also quite amazing.
The day the army set off, Baima City seemed very excited. Many merchants took the initiative to donate some materials, and at the same time let the guards keep up.
The army of two thousand people was magnificent, with a momentum more shocking than the tens of thousands of people in Solon's original memory. The city guards of one thousand people were all equipped with iron armor, equipped with shields, short swords, helmets and hand crossbows. The heavy infantry of five hundred people were equipped with chain mail to half-body armor, and were equipped with steel shields, iron helmets, refined weapons, and two consecutive heavy crossbows. The last five hundred people were the elite among the elites, including heavy infantry full of plate armor. The whole person was wrapped in armor, with only a pair of eyes exposed, and their arms were equipped with fish scale arm armor.
These heavy infantry equipment is complex, with heavy swords and swords and shields, and some of them will carry powerful crossbows with them.
Then there are the citizens and soldiers of the noble class, that is, the honorary citizens and the knight class. They are equipped with armored war horses, knight armor, knight spears, small steel shields and finely coated crossbows. Each knight is surrounded by one or two knight attendants. Their equipment is like heavy infantry, and they usually cooperate with the knights to fight, and follow the knights behind the knights when charging.
To be honest.
The regular army in this world, even the equipment of light infantry, is configured according to the standard configuration of heavy infantry in the medieval period of the past. Moreover, the probability of equipped crossbow arrows in the army is extremely high, and they have all had special training for strong crossbow shooting. A team of regular army can make people stunned. When facing modern gun troops, as long as they do not have heavy firepower weapons, they will have a stable chance of winning.
……………………
As a scout unit, Sauron naturally needs to set out first.
The army is not moving forward fast, and the south lacks excellent war horses. Heavy infantry marching with weights of more than 20 kilograms. Advanced soldiers have strong endurance. Although the battle outbreak is not long-lasting, marching is easy to carry. People who have never practiced martial arts do not know the physical energy consumption in the explosion state. They often think that they can carry weights for dozens of kilometers, and fighting for half an hour or an hour is easy to do.
This is a speechless statement.
There is a saying among martial artists called "exercise strength". If you don't exercise strength, you will be fine if you don't exercise strength for an hour or two. If you exercise strength, your physical fitness will drop rapidly within three moves.
If the outbreak is excessive, the muscles will directly enter a state of excessive fatigue and may even cause serious damage.
In this state, physical energy cannot be recovered quickly.
When Sauron launches [Sword Strong - Heavy Slash], he is in an extreme state of exerting force. The whole body's strength explodes in an instant, and the physical energy consumes more than one or two hours of exercise. This is not the legendary true qi, but a skill to mobilize the muscle strength of the whole body, or even mobilize the internal organs. (PS: Since the beginning of the book, physical fitness issues have been complained about for more than half a month. Those students with questions please sprint their waists and sprint before punching. Please remember to take a deep breath before punching. Although the standard of exerting force cannot be met, if you have all your strength, it is almost equivalent to physical energy explosion. Please test the speed of physical energy consumption, the number of times you punch, and the feeling of internal organs. If your arm is sore and your internal organs are uncomfortable, then don't hold on to a single problem in the future and add more knowledge. Not only on Baidu, you have to experiment with it yourself. - Futu.)
……………………
Marching camping.
The first day was no different from what Sauron remembered. The next day, all the scouts dispersed in a net shape, and the army continued to advance along the road, and the adventurers who were receiving the mission divided into small teams into the forest.
Sauron's figure advanced in the dense woods, behind him was a half-elf ranger who believed in the forest goddess.
The other party is a veteran in survival in the wild and has excellent stealth and reconnaissance skills. Although he cannot be invisible due to professional reasons, his steps are light and quick, and his movements are not inferior to those of wanderers. He is indescribable because the half-elves have a lifespan of one or two hundred years, but he looks younger. He is wearing a hard leather armor and a longbow behind him. The weapon he uses is a bone-cutting knife inside the scimitar.
"It's a wereggar!"
The half-elf ranger named Yas squatted down and judged the footprints on the ground, then opened the grass and looked at the other traces, and said in a deep voice: "There should be some goblins and kobolds. We can solve this small problem ourselves, and there is no need to send a signal to the team."
Since it is cleaning up monsters, you naturally have to plow the entire range.
The scouts in the army were also scattered. Wanderers were not common in the army. Most of the scouts in the army were rangers and soldiers.
Sauron nodded softly, looked at the other party and said, "Can you track their location?"
Track traces.
This is the best game for rangers. They have a strong ability to track enemies in the wilderness and can distinguish directions by the smell of footprints.
"I mean," Yas laughed and said, "Come on. They are not far away."
The half-elf ranger pulled out the bone-clearing knife, then stepped forward with his waist. After tracking hundreds of meters, he would stay in place and check the traces on the ground. Some footprints had become very light, but he still successfully judged the direction. His natural perception ability made them intuitively sensitive. Sometimes, if there was no trace, they could be tracked by intuition and experience.
soon.
They discovered the first group of enemies.
It was a small group of zombies with a number of more than ten, and they domesticated three coyotes and captured more than a dozen goblins and kobolds as slaves and reserved food.
The half-elf ranger made a gesture to both sides, and Sauron nodded slightly and escaped into the shadow, starting from the side.
The other party is a veteran of adventure, and such a battle is just a running-in.
Sauron's figure gradually approached along the shadow, without any sound. He slowly pulled out a scimitar and touched the gathering place of the zombies from the side. The zombies in this small group seemed a bit special. They should have survived the fight. There were no zombies inside, all of which were adults.
The half-elf ranger waited until Sauron gradually approached and then came to a big tree. He jumped gently onto the pole and jumped up. In one or two seconds, he reached the branches of the big tree. The leaves made a slight rustling sound. Yas separated the leaves and took out a longbow, and pulled out a wolf-tooth arrow from behind. The ranger's quiver was specially customized, and there were not many arrows placed inside, usually only 6-12, but they were all fixed and moved and would not fall out. The position of the arrows was also fixed, which ensured that you would not be unable to touch the arrows in an instant.
——"Backstab!"
Sauron's figure emerged in the shadow and jumped three or five meters in an instant. The scimitar stabbed directly into the back of a werewolf.
Kill with one knife!
The scimitar penetrates the heart directly and penetrates the body from the front.
Say.
An arrow flew, and the zombie who was alarmed in the gathering ground rushed over. The zombie in front just raised the bone-breaking hammer, and an arrow penetrated through its chest, almost completely sank into its body.
Longbow shooting!
Sauron turned his body and jumped across the sword, forcing the werewolf to retreat, and at the same time he cut a hole in the other party's arm.
Say.
The second arrow shot out, and a werewolf's thigh was shot out with a bloody hole.
The half-elf ranger inserted the longbow back into his back. His equipment was specially made and he was very fast when replacing his weapons. He jumped off the tree four or five meters high, and knelt down on one knee to remove the falling force, then pulled out the bone-knitting knife at his waist, took a deep breath, and his chest bulged high.
Ranger is also a melee professional.
Yas inhaled a lot of oxygen in an instant, his pupils expanded slightly, from kneeling on one knee to a half-squat sprinting position, and then he rushed out like a sharp arrow, and his instant burst out even exceeded that of the 100-meter sprinting champion in the previous life Olympics.
--charge!
The half-elf ranger's front rush was mixed with inertial force, and suddenly crossed the simple wooden railing, clasped the bone-clearing knife and slashed it horizontally, directly disconnecting a werewolf from his waist, and two pieces of corpses fell to the ground. He paused for a moment and then rushed into the battle group, holding a werewolf's sneak attack.
"This garbage is not worth the waste of arrows! Each one costs five Jindlers!"
The half-elf ranger smiled, and while slashing the zombie's chest with a knife, he kicked the enemy's Adam's apple, and explained to Sauron why he didn't continue shooting. He used the best wolf-tooth arrow, and the arrows were uniquely customized, and there would be no too much deviation due to the wind direction and air after shooting. The two figures moved in the zombie, killing six zombies and three coyotes in just one or two minutes. The other enemies finally felt fear and began to escape one after another. Sauron pulled out his strong crossbow to shoot, and the half-elf ranger directly grabbed a sharp wooden stick, took a deep breath and threw it towards the zombie as a javelin.
A shrill scream rang out.
The escaping zombie was nailed directly to the ground. When he walked over and pulled out the wooden stick, Sauron had already shot and killed other monsters with his powerful crossbow.
The half-elf ranger picked up the wooden stick and turned around, twitched his head on the head of the zombie who had not yet died. The wooden stick was broken directly, and a piece of white brain splattered, and the zombie's skull was lifted off. He turned around and smiled at Sauron, then threw away the wooden stick and said, "Let's clean it up casually. These are just appetizers, and the real big head is still on those ogres. They have robbed many caravans recently."
A battle that is not difficult.
The relationship between the two people has undoubtedly brought them much closer, and at least they have some understanding of each other's strength.
This is a third-level ranger!
