Chapter 57: Bloodthirst
Carlos led the Alpha group to the mountain pass in the eastern part of the forest. The mages used their arcane eyes to observe the troll's defensive position.
The trolls, who were severely under-productive, could not build a fortress at the mountain pass in a short time, so they used wood to build a stockade, which just blocked the mountain pass. There were some defense towers in the stockade, which could increase the trolls' defensive capabilities.
"When you attack, be sure to pay attention to the arrows shot from the defense tower. Although your shields are large, they still cannot protect the whole body." The mages kindly reminded.
Carlos didn't care very much and said confidently: "Don't worry! We will defeat the trolls and break through the stronghold."
The mage was speechless. He knew that the equipment made by Gale gave Carlos confidence. He had never seen the power of Ice Scar Grasp and Winter Armor, so it was difficult to evaluate it. But it was not true that Carlos trusted them so blindly.
A good thing.
The last time in Hedashar, Moonfury was also full of confidence, but the attack on Clawsleep failed. Alpha Regiment lost most of it and almost had its designation revoked.
The Alpha regiment gathered at the mountain pass. Carlos strode to the front of the formation and raised the Ice-marked Grip. "The commander of the regiment has given us a great victory, and we are going to take it next. Cheer up, everyone."
Come on, start accumulating ice armor now."
The soldiers raised the Ice Mark Grip in front of them and activated the ice armor runes. Cold air emerged from the Ice Mark Grip and the Winter Armor, quickly surrounding the surface of the shield and the soldiers' bodies, gradually condensing into ice.
Ice cubes are magically hollow, which not only protects soldiers, does not hinder movement, but is also breathable.
"This!!?" The mage was shocked when he saw this scene.
No wonder Carlos didn't pay attention to the arrows from the troll defense tower just now. The soldiers of the Alpha Regiment were covered in ice armor, leaving no space for the arrows.
"Attack!"
Carlos waved the blade of punishment and walked into the mountain pass first. The mountain pass is not flat, but also needs to climb uphill. The reason why it is a mountain pass is that it is easier to climb compared to the towering peaks on both sides.
Fortunately, the slope was not steep and the ramp was not very long. After a few minutes, Carlos reached the bottom of the stockade.
The trolls in the stockade had long discovered the Alpha Regiment's attack, and the trolls on the defense tower wanted to attack. However, seeing that the Alpha Regiment's soldiers were all wrapped in ice armor, they gave up the idea of archery and chose another attack.
method.
When the Alpha Group arrived at the bottom of the stockade, a large number of trolls immediately appeared from behind the wooden wall. The trolls raised throwing spears and throwing axes and threw them at the Alpha Group.
The soldiers immediately moved the ice-marked grip upwards to block their heads. The throwing spears and throwing axes hit the shields, and ice shards flew everywhere, but the throwing spears and throwing axes were also bounced away, and even the ice armor was thrown away.
None were broken.
Carlos revealed his eyes from behind the shield, smiled disdainfully, and walked straight to the village gate.
He raised the shield above his head, and some soldiers came near him. They raised the Ice Scar Grip like him and used the shield to build a corridor.
At the back of the team, four or five strong soldiers carried door hammers made of big trees and entered the corridor under the cover of the soldiers.
The trolls obviously knew what the soldiers were doing, and they responded immediately by throwing rocks at the shields.
"Bang!"
The ice cubes flew up and the ice-marked grip flipped to one side, but was immediately restored to its original position by the soldiers.
The height of the village wall and the weight of the stone are not enough to destroy the corridor built by the shield.
The soldiers would not wait for the troll to figure out a way. They rushed towards the village gate with door hammers in hand.
"Bang!"
The village gate shook!
The soldiers quickly retreated and rushed towards the village gate again.
"Click!"
Several wooden boards were broken off the village gate.
The soldiers continued their efforts, this time directly breaking the gate on one side of the village, and the passage into the village was opened.
Carlos immediately rushed into the village, "Kill all these trolls!"
The trolls in the village are all die-hards and will obviously not surrender. There are many trolls, so of course you have to choose those who are well disciplined when capturing prisoners.
The trolls rushed towards the village gate, trying to block the soldiers at the door. But before they could get close to the village gate, a ring of ice fixed them to the ground.
Carlos used the Exploding Ice Spike at the place where there were many trolls, directly blowing four or five trolls into holes.
The trolls were startled by the sudden blow. Just as they hesitated, seven or eight soldiers had already crossed the village gate and charged towards them. The trolls woke up from a dream and immediately launched an attack.
But the soldiers blocked the Ice-marked Grip in front of them, and the troll's attack could only break the ice armor on the shield, unable to break through the shield's defense. The soldiers placed it hard on the troll's body, in front of the Ice-marked Grip.
The spikes pierced into the troll's body. The freezing runes erupted, and waves of cold air swept around.
The trolls felt like they were hit by a cold wave, their bodies became sluggish, and their movements and attacks slowed down.
The soldiers were not affected at all. They drew out their blades of punishment and stabbed into the troll's neck. Then they used their shields to push the troll's body to the ground.
"Stop them! Don't let them cross the mountain pass!"
The troll chief screamed. He is a small chief of the Amani tribe and a die-hard member of the trolls. This time he accepted the order to stop the Kaldorei army with the determination to die.
Behind him, a troll witch doctor knocked his staff on the ground, and a strange energy spread to all the trolls. The trolls looked up to the sky and howled, their bodies swelled, and their eyes were blood red, like wild beasts.
Bloodthirsty!!?
Carlos was a little stunned. This kind of spell is not something that ordinary witch doctors can learn. No wonder other armies can't break through the stronghold with the help of the mage. With the enhancement of bloodthirsty and the protection of voodoo, unless the Archmage Turan
Or if Gale comes in person, other mages won’t have much effect at all.
However, he quickly made countermeasures, "launch an assault in the direction of the troll witch doctor! Ignore the other trolls and kill the witch doctor first."
Currently, the greatest threat is the troll witch doctor. Once he casts a voodoo shield to protect other trolls, the Alpha Group will face a group of invincible enemies. This group of trolls, enhanced by bloodthirst, has gained strength.
After strengthening, it can already break the ice armor on soldiers. Even though there is still the protection of Ice Mark Grip and Winter Armor, it is inevitable that soldiers will be injured or even killed.
To protect the soldiers, the troll witch doctor must be killed first.
The soldiers who entered the village gate immediately charged forward.
Sure enough, the troll witch doctor cast voodoo, and the soldiers were unable to break through the voodoo shield and could only be beaten passively. The trolls, in an invincible state, frantically smashed the soldiers' ice armor with huge power.
Knocked the soldiers away.
