Paid chapter (12 o'clock) Chapter 292 Things are getting better Wave after wave of human warriors who climbed up the wall were shot down by the oncoming crossbows. They waved the one-handed sword unwillingly and fell from the wall, corpses , the one-handed sword and the large tilted shield fell to the ground, forming a hill on the other side of the wall, and finally almost burying the entire city wall. Finally, due to the little demons' speed of winding the crossbows, the frequency of firing the crossbows began to decrease. The remaining more than a hundred human warriors seized this opportunity and finally broke through the first wall, stumbling down and jumping down. Rush towards the second wall. Their numbers still have a certain advantage, but their morale has hit rock bottom. In most cold weapon wars, when the casualties reach 30%, the morale of the troops at a disadvantage will collapse, and the entire army will be defeated. Now this patchwork human army can still survive with more than 60% casualties. The reason for maintaining a tenacious fighting spirit is because of the deep-seated hostility between demons and humans. But being willing to fight does not mean that they are capable of fighting. The huge casualties suffered by their companions directly inhibited the display of their strength. After shooting the crossbow in his hand, Wu Gu handed the empty heavy crossbow to the little devil who was busy winding it next to him. He glanced ahead and then ordered, "The mage is ready to attack. The second-level warriors and above will change their melee weapons. The others will continue to shoot." Not to mention their strength, most of the human warriors who have been able to persist until now are at least smart and have good physical flexibility. However, if these warriors do not want to waste all their efforts, they can only bite the bullet and jump off the city wall in this narrow space. Run for more than ten meters in the valley road, and then look for an opportunity to start a close combat with Wu Gu's team. The space between the two city walls is not small, but it is definitely not that big. At least the wizards on Wu Gu's side have been able to release enough magic to cover the entire valley. Colorful magic rained down from the opposite wall. The human warriors held up large shields and struggled to move forward amidst the covering magic bombardment. Almost every step forward, a human warrior couldn't bear the attacks from all directions. The magic energy storm suddenly softened to the ground. However, there are always some warriors in the world who, when they are at a low level, can do things that only high-level warriors can do. Such warriors are often called elite warriors. When the human troops approached and were only four or five meters away from the second city wall, more than ten black shadows suddenly rushed out of the remaining seventy or so warriors. In terms of impact speed and ability to avoid arrows, In terms of dexterity, these shadows have reached the level of third-level warriors. "The melee troops are guarding the city wall, the mages are retreating, and the crossbowmen are preparing to shoot." Seeing that the situation was not good, Wu Gu quickly asked the demon warriors who had put on melee weapons to block in front of the mages. Hearing this, more than thirty second-level demon warriors waved their weapons, and they just happened to fight together with the ten or so elite human warriors who rushed forward. The strength of these more than ten human elite warriors is between the second and third levels. Under normal circumstances, a one-on-one fight can definitely defeat these demon warriors whose strength is at the middle level of the second level. Unfortunately, it is not a one-on-one duel now. , but a battle between two groups of people, but the human side is not only at a disadvantage in the attack position, but is also much smaller in number than the other side, not to mention that the other side has people to help shoot cold arrows from behind, so when the two sides fight, The human troops were at a disadvantage. The disadvantage of the human beings did not change slightly until the remaining human troops arrived under the city wall, but only slightly. Because on the city wall, a large number of strung machine crossbows began to work again, and the remaining crossbows The hand started shooting again, the accuracy was ridiculously good, and the group of mages were about to complete their second offensive magic. Surrounded by these multiple disadvantages, the remaining human troops melted and disappeared quickly like ice and snow exposed to direct sunlight. At the end of the battle, the ordnance was exhausted. The team led by Wu Gu suffered eight deaths and forty-one injuries, while the human troops were completely wiped out. This result made the remaining human troops in the jungle a little confused. Even when Ivan turned around and walked back to the city wall, he didn't fire a crossbow to stop him. Carefully walking around the first city wall filled with corpses, Ivan patted Wu Gu who was directing the troops to move the corpses, "Well done Although it's only the fourth day, the human side is now in your hands." Nearly 800 soldiers were lost in this area. Presumably, around this area, the human side can only mobilize two to three hundred more idle people at most, and it is impossible to launch such a large-scale attack again." "Not necessarily, sir, according to the Judging from the frequency of enemy troops we encountered along the way, there are at least nearly a thousand human troops in this area," Wu Gu turned around and said seriously. "What you are calculating is just pure military strength." Ivan shook his head. "In fact, it cannot be calculated like this. The remaining forces of the human forces still need to maintain the minimum balance of forces in the nearby area to suppress the possible collapse. If they deploy too many troops, the balance of power in this area will be broken, which may lead to catastrophic consequences." Wu Gu looked confused. He obviously didn't understand. What disastrous consequences would result. Ai Wen nodded solemnly, but he also felt that the situation he described might be a bit exaggerated. Too many troops were mobilized. The result was that at most, the number of human troops in this area, or even the seaside area, would be reduced in a short period of time. It's just that they are at a disadvantage. In the end, the human side will at most give up this landing point because of the collapse of the situation, which is not really a disaster. And the possibility of this situation happening is very small. Although the demon team will have some temporary numerical advantage because of this, they may not use this advantage to unite together and take the opportunity to suppress the human troops, causing each other to have trouble. Internal strife is not surprising, just like when Oli led the army, he did not distinguish between friends and foes, and would ambush them all if they had the opportunity. "Okay, let's assume that the human troops may again mobilize four to five hundred people." Ivan touched his head and thought to himself, but even so, time has quietly given the advantage to his side. "I understand." Wu Gu hesitated for a few seconds and nodded, not knowing exactly what he understood. During the gap between cleaning up the battlefield, information was passed between the camp and the entrance of the Lion Heart Valley. Ivan soon learned that Ollie had set up an ambush to eliminate the group of human surprise troops who had crossed the mountains. Raymond, who was waiting in the camp, also knew that Ai Wen Wen killed more than 400 human shield-wielding warriors who launched the attack at a very small cost, and couldn't help but feel grateful for his decision. Two days later, after patrolling the mountains around the valley, Ollie came back in a hurry after being convinced that no fish had slipped through the net. Three days later, which was the seventh day of the siege of the valley, the human army of 400 people was finally restored. Perhaps they got the news that the surprise attack force had been wiped out, or perhaps they discovered some other anomaly. In short, they suddenly began to attack from the mouth of the valley. Retreat outside. Out of caution, neither Alvin nor Ollie thought of leading the troops in pursuit. After waiting for another half day, small groups of demon mercenaries finally appeared outside the valley entrance. Seeing them, Ivan finally understood that the human troops were aware of the appearance of these demon troops and felt that they should continue to stay. If so, they might be attacked by the demons, so they would retreat quickly. For these soldiers who sneak into the enemy's rear, death is not terrible. The question is whether death is worthwhile. After coming into contact with these small mercenary teams that suddenly appeared, to Ivan's surprise, he found that these mercenary teams did not get any news from the outside world, and then hurried over to see if there was any benefit. Lao, the reason why they appeared was because they were summoned by an acquaintance - that acquaintance was Raymond. The big mercenary group has the circle of the big mercenary group, and the small mercenary group naturally has the circle of the small mercenary group. Three days ago, Raymond sent a large number of scouts to climb over the mountains of Lion Heart Valley and go out to contact the small circle. Here, he made friends with the small mercenary group and led them to Lion Heart Valley. Although they are all small mercenary groups, there are thirty of you and forty of me. The total number of people is three to four hundred. In addition, each of these mercenary groups has a different logo. The human beings are scattered. The scouts judged people by themselves and based their estimation on a team of one hundred people. Naturally, they came up with a completely wrong but indeed terrifying number. After figuring out the reason, signing a contract, and hiring more than 300 mercenaries, Lion Heart Valley can finally balance safety and development. It can be expected that as the situation improves, in the future, Lion Heart Valley will There will be more and more mercenaries looking for opportunities, and the development of Lion Heart Valley will be faster and faster. After taking care of the newly hired mercenaries and arranging his direct subordinates to repair the checkpoints, Ivan found Raymond who was drinking with his old friends in the camp. Raymond gave him such a big surprise. , of course he must repay the other party well. After calling Raymond alone outside the camp, Alvin said, "Although you are making your own decisions, considering that the result is beneficial to me, I won't say anything more. Just tell me, you How do you want me to reward you and increase the commission paid to you?" Upon hearing this, Raymond thought to himself that the opportunity I had been waiting for finally came, so he quickly knelt on the ground and lowered his head and said, "I don't need any additional rewards. I just hope to join your lord, your territory, and become your lord¡¯s retainer.¡± ¡°You want to be my retainer?¡± Ai Wenyi?Stunned, he couldn't help but touch his chin. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation where the person he encountered bowed his head and bowed to him and called him "big brother" when his domineering aura was unleashed. "Raymon, do you really think so?" Ivan couldn't help but ask again. Now that the Lionheart Territory is short of manpower, it would be great if Raymond originally wanted to join. Moreover, as the leader of a mercenary group, Raymond himself is obviously a very capable guy. Chapter 292 Things get better Chapter 292 Things get better, go to the website
