Chapter 396: Intent Exposed
When he felt that the number of enemies was too small, Lu Chen was worried about whether the mercenary group in the west would launch a surprise attack. What made him even more scared was that Verona and his actions would be discovered, especially after so long, no other news came.
He quickly found Craig, but as soon as he said that he wanted him to go outside and secretly deal with all the enemies outside the village, there was a clear shout of killing. Fortunately, it was no longer a distance beyond his sight and did not require any guidance. With Sharon's unified arrangement, the second wave of magic attack was shot out in the sound of spells.
"Master, do you want to summon a group of ghouls? I am much more skilled now, and it takes less than two or three hundred to do it." Craig would not violate Lu Chen's order, but he couldn't let go if he left like this.
"No, the previous necromancer was too powerful, so I had to use ghouls. If you use it to deal with humans, you should be very clear about the consequences. If it is not necessary, don't think about this problem in the future. Occasionally, you can play with a few, but don't let more people know their existence. Go quickly. According to Lester, at least thousands of cavalry have not entered the forest. I miscalculated it. Remember not to leave a living mouth, you are at the seventh level." I didn't want to say more, but I was worried that the metal knight in front of me would not have the consciousness of the undead, Lu Chen explained it specifically and finally reminded him of the seventh level identity. Although no one should have attacked ordinary people, the identity of the strong is always better than that of the undead. Even if the enemy is not cleaned up and the news is leaked, it will only break the rules.
"Yes, master." Craig, who was born in the soldier, didn't expect so much. After hearing this, he realized the seriousness of the problem. He bowed with respect and thanks, and ran out of the forest.
"Chenchen, is something happened? If you want to go outside the forest, just go here. I will watch you here, let alone Sera and Dean Delake and others." Seeing that they were not very good, when Craig left, Fei Luna took the little loli's hand. She had lost her magic for the time being, and now she could only be a babysitter, but she also liked this little sister who suddenly appeared. Somehow, the little girl seemed to be more obsessed with Sharon, and she would only choose her at this time.
"It's enough to have Craig, and the other party is a mercenary from the Forest Wei family. If they are asked to take action rashly, even if they win, they will be found by those who break the rules after they go back, which will be even more troublesome. Don't worry, with me here, there will be no problem." Lu Na didn't want to worry about her. Lu Chen did not express her guess, and then saw that no one around was paying attention. She hugged her gently to show comfort.
Everyone was working hard for the battle. No matter how much I miss Lu Chen's arms, Fei Luna still pushed him away after enjoying it for a while and asked her man to do what he should do now.
At this time, Menos was like an isolated fire captain running back and forth in the fire, culminating with only five hundred elites, some mercenaries who broke through the trees and planned to tear the defense line.
Unlike Clarence's 58th Legion, his soldiers can only be considered elite, and their personal strength is far from the level of mercenaries. In this forest where they cannot form a formation, they are much worse than the enemy. The only thing that is still difficult is that in the previous battle with the undead, two battalions were not injured due to Lu Chen's timely arrival. Now they can still use their number and assisted by magic attacks to delay the opponent's advancement speed. However, even so, more than 500 casualties have occurred in just a few minutes from contact to the present.
"Damn it, there is no way to fight this war. If this continues, the front line will be broken in twenty minutes... The messenger, go and report the situation to the Marquis and ask for instructions." The mercenaries either jump or rush, sometimes with bows and arrows and sometimes fighting spirit. It seems ineffective, but it quickly consumes the mess of soldiers, which makes Menos helplessly send people to Lu Chen for help. Compared to face, he cares more about the entire battle situation. However, what he doesn't know is that the mercenaries are not much better.
Although the students' magic attack level is not high and none of them exceeds the fourth level, the main force among the mercenaries is still in the strength of two or three stars. If they are hit, they will be killed in seconds. It is just because of the woods, it is easier to avoid it. However, this also causes them to be unable to concentrate on attacking some weak points. Only some people with four or more stars can achieve better results.
"Which bastard said that the enemy ran eastwards. There was at least one legion in front of him, so it was clearly waiting for us to come."
"Shhh~ Stop talking, Delgado and Damas are here."
"Oh, forget it, anyway, the order is to destroy them. Now at least I know that they haven't run away... Let the brothers work harder, complete the task early, and go back early."
The three mercenary commanders who ran in front hid behind a big tree and said very dissatisfiedly, because so far, most of the victims were their subordinates, although they were all weak.
After the first wave of magic attacks killed hundreds of unlucky people, the enemy quickly moved the attack point to the front of the defense line. There was no danger and could not stop the mercenaries, so Delgado, who had to come together, always had an unknown premonition in his mind. Therefore, he specially gave Damas the order to protect the rear, but he didn't find anything wrong until he could see the enemy. Then when he heard the last sentence discussed by the three mercenary commanders, he finally felt relieved. After all, the number of soldiers and a large number of magic attacks in front of him could only be the main force of the enemy.
But just after Delgado asked Damas to join the battle, a member of the wolf claws hurriedly came and reported the discovery of the Hunter Mercenary Group to him.
"This~" Delgado was immediately shocked. He thought that the enemy would use the main force as bait and almost couldn't recover in one breath. It was not until the wolf clawed team member urged him as a reminder that he issued an order to withdraw the village in his eyes of unknown reason and happyness.
After both sides lost nearly a thousand subordinates, the sudden end of the battle made Menos realize something was wrong. Fortunately, before he could he hesitate, Lu Chen appeared in front of him and gave him the order of "chasing" him.
After leaving Concubine Luna for a while, in order to delay more time, Lu Chen resisted the urge to let the 27th Legion of Xiu Gang fight and hid on the side and watched the soldiers fall down one by one. After all, only by making the enemy feel that victory is right in front of them will they focus their attention here. But he did not expect that the enemy not only knew his intention so quickly, but also chose to return to the rescue without hesitation.
