Lord Harland

Chapter 19 The Harpy

The broken kobolds returned to the camp and reported the situation in the jungle to the kobold commander.Hearing that the ambusher numbered only three, the kobold commander was shocked by the audacity of the enemy.

"Is the human scout who attacked a powerful noble officer?"

"The enemy's arrows are very accurate, and the bows and arrows they use are also enchanted bows. Just using bows and arrows, the attackers severely injured us."

Listening to the narration of the broken kobolds, the commander fiercely raised his fists and beat the escaped kobolds.

Combining the intelligence brought by many kobolds' rout, the commander has roughly figured out the details of the battlefield.It wants to send people to hunt down the three of Li Cha, but it is also a little worried about the enemy's arrow skills.

Besides, the kobold squadron still had the task of blocking the passage, so they couldn't make up their minds for a while.

"Humans are very cunning, if I leave the camp and enter the forest to hunt down the attackers, and the enemy comes to attack the camp, what should I do then?
The sun is almost out, and the inspector will be around soon, so leave this problem to the inspector. "

The kobold commander sent a few broken soldiers to the jungle to collect the remains of the kobolds who died in battle, and waited anxiously for the arrival of the harpy inspector.

About an hour and a half passed, and a black spot appeared far away in the sky.

Seeing that the harpy had arrived, the kobolds stationed at the camp finally felt relieved.

"How about the enemy situation?"

The harpy has a very bad temper, and asked questions unceremoniously after landing in the camp.

"Last night, human scouts came to attack. Before dawn, I sent a team of soldiers into the forest to capture the enemy, and suffered serious casualties. The deputy squadron leader was killed, and six soldiers died together. According to the news from the broken soldiers According to the news, the humans who attacked have enchanted bows and arrows, and their archery skills are amazing."

The kobold squadron leader used his troops very prudently. Although he suffered a loss, he explained the situation last night in detail.

"Why don't you send troops to chase the enemy, are you afraid of human's cold arrows?"

Seeing the harpy yelling, the kobold commander explained: "Of course I'm not afraid of humans, the main task of our squadron is to block the passage.

Humans are very cunning. They sent scouts to attack the guard post last night. We captured the scouts late at night, but were ambushed by humans and suffered losses.The enemy situation is unknown, what if I lead a team into the jungle and humans attack the camp?
Commander Gunderson will kill us all if we fail to hold camp.

Now that humans have detected information about the camp, our situation is already very dangerous. I have written a letter to Commander Gunderson, hoping to send reinforcements as soon as possible. "

"The humans on the Platos defense line are very tenacious. Although we have conquered four castles and broken through half of the defense line, it is difficult to annihilate the enemy in a short time.

What's more, the cavalry under Baron Harden's command were still cruising around the periphery, pinning down our wolf cavalry.Commander Gunderson dispatched Wald's brigade to attack the human Baron Stopa's territory three days ago, but now he can't draw reinforcements at all.

I went to look in the direction of Baron Harden's castle. If I encounter human archers, I will eat them cruelly. "

"My lord inspector, you have to be careful, the troops stationed at Baron Harden's castle have a squadron of the Wild Lion Legion.

This squadron has a strong combat effectiveness. It used to be the defender of Platos No. [-] Castle. It participated in the defeat of the Lakimea Brigade and shot and killed two harpies.

They have powerful enchanted bows and arrows in their hands. When the inspector is investigating, adults must not get too close. "

The harpy put away the plea letter from the kobold commander, raised his eyes, and quickly disappeared into the sky with his wings flying high.

Out of the canyon, there are dense forests on both sides of the road.Even if the harpy's eyesight is several times better than that of humans, it is difficult to see the situation under the canopy if it is too far away.

The three of Li Cha were all natives of northern Xinjiang. Ron had also experienced an orc invasion war, so he would naturally guard against the Harpy when he returned.

The harpy is well-known in northern Xinjiang, and every time the orcs invade, there will be a harpy.

This kind of monster is the nemesis of the northern Xinjiang scouts.If it is in a flat plain area, ordinary scouts can hardly save their lives when encountering a harpy.Even in the mountains and forests, many scouts die every year from the harpy population.

If it wasn't for the enchanted bow sent by William, Li Cha's archery skills are also very good. He has been promoted to the fourth level, and there is a way to restrain the harpy. The three brothers would not dare to take on the investigation mission.

The harpy was very fast, and went directly to Harden Castle because they did not find Richard and the others along the way.

Seeing the appearance of the harpy, the squadron leader Diarra reacted quickly, and immediately put the enchanted bow on the top of the city, and loaded it with a fourth-order bursting arrow.If the harpy dares to swoop close, seize the warplane and shoot the harpy.

Harpy restrains human scouts, and enchanted bows and bursting arrows also restrain Harpy.

In every battle in the north, many harpies died under the bursting arrows.

Seeing the three enchanted bows and arrows on the top of the wall, the harpy did not dare to approach, and flew back to the Platos Mountains, and reported the situation of Harden Castle to the orc commander Gunderson.

After receiving information near Harden Castle, Gunderson summoned the Orc officers for a pre-battle meeting.

"Based on all information, Wald's brigade captured Vic Castle yesterday and killed the castle commander, Baron Stopal.

Human scouts attacked the Orteus squadron blocking the canyon, ambushed and shot a deputy squadron leader.

Baron Harden's castle is garrisoned by the main human force, the number is about a squadron.The city defense is relatively tight, and there should be more than ten human professionals in the defenders.

The casualties of the defenders of Platos Castle exceeded 50.00%. Through the interrogation of the prisoners, we have learned that Sally Darren, the deputy captain of the Eighth Battalion, was killed the day before yesterday, and Roland Claude, the other deputy captain, was seriously injured and disabled. Basically out of combat.It is already difficult for the Platos castle group to support the line of defense.

Two days ago, Baron Harden's cavalry attacked our logistics transportation team and killed the soldiers of the Angolo brigade who were responsible for transporting grain and grass. The captain of the Angolo brigade died in battle.

The wolf cavalry brigade was attacked by Baron Harden last night, killing and wounding more than 130 cavalry. "

The orc officer in charge of intelligence kept talking, so that the orc officers present had an overall concept.

After the intelligence officer recounted all the information he had received, Gunderson raised his left hand, stopped the whispering of many orcs, and said, "How about the casualties of the Wald brigade? Can you continue to fight?"

"Humanity's resistance is very fierce. The garrison of Vic Castle has reached the end, and more than half of Wald's brigade has been killed or injured.

If it is necessary to control Vic Castle, only one squadron of soldiers can be drawn.If Vic Castle is abandoned, half of the squadron needs to be left to protect the wounded, and the Wald tribe still has four squadrons to fight. "
