Chapter 23 Killing (Part 2)

The fire terrified all the gnolls.

As semi-beasted humanoid creatures, although gnolls can use fire, they often live a life of eating raw meat and drinking blood.

The technology of using fire is in the hands of the zodiac shaman. It is precisely because of this that the elderly zodiac shamans have a status that is not inferior to the leader in the clan. Generally speaking, the zodiac clan only eats a cooked meal at sacrificial festivals or important rituals. At other times, because it is difficult to make fire, the clan mostly swallows raw meat directly. If there is no zodiac clan, then they can only live like a beast.

The hair on the werewolf is very thick, especially below the neck and above the waist.

Basically, just a little bit of sparks can burn a piece.

Compared with the werewolves, humans are not as afraid of flames. After all, after entering the civilization era, humans are already very familiar with the use and mastery of flames. In addition, all the residents of the town are concentrated in the central square, and the surroundings are empty, so there is no need to worry about being burned by fire. Under such restraint, humans' momentum is more prosperous than those arewolves.

The flames and thick smoke decayed the zombies' fighting spirit, but their desire for flesh and blood and the emphasis on territory made them unwilling to retreat just like this.

The maintenance of territoriality by organisms is inherent in nature.

It is as if the beasts will attack and drive out all creatures that invade their territory unless they are invincible.

The werewolf drove humans out of this land. So naturally, they divided the land into their own territory!

And the life of the following year also made them essentially think that this land belongs to them. As for Murphy, who later established the town here, it was their enemy!

It's the intruder!

These humans want to regain their territory now!

This is the reason why the gnolls gathered to attack Murphy's town.

If it is just for food, it is easy to find enough food in early spring. As a humanoid race, the gnolls are not so ignorant that they can attack Murphy's territory at any cost just for food. The reason why the gnolls attack Murphy in large numbers is that they do not want to give humans the opportunity to survive and grow on this land!

The number of werewolves is about 3,800, and there are nearly a thousand of the most powerful adult males in combat, while the rest are female and semi-adult gnolls. The number of Murphy's army is about 800, and the adult males left to fight in the territory are about 1,800. The total number is 1,800, only half of the gnolls' military strength. So when the werewolves surrounded them in the square, there were almost all the figures of werewolves around!

The sudden burning flames caused a slight riot in the werewolf.

The sky-sky fire also illuminated the surrounding view!

"Jaberlin, throw!"

"Infantry, advance!"

Murphy clearly grasped this riot. He stood on the steps of the square and issued orders calmly. About half a team of heavy Spartan infantrymen surrounded him, carefully guarding against arrows that might have shot from the dark.

The eight infantry phalanxes set up a defensive net of about 240 degrees in front, and the auxiliary corps fought based on the six-meter-high wall of the temple to avoid being attacked from both sides. Creating a spacious combat environment for one's own side but unable to let go of the enemy's numerical advantage, which makes the enemy's numerical advantage become a burden. This is what Murphy has always calculated. Create these advantages, and then the rest will be head-on and head-on battles!

The Greek infantry shouted forward, and the originally tight defense line advanced forward, opening the gap in the center.

About five hundred Javeliners, under the command of Hammerton, conducted high-density point shooting on the werewolf gathered in the west! A large number of adult werewolf males gathered there. If they rushed forward, they would be the biggest trouble for Greek infantry. So the first thing to do was to use long-range strikes to solve them all!

Faced with the whistling large pieces of javelins, the male zombies who were the vanguards had no way to dodge! Behind them were large troops coming. Due to the limited street space, it was difficult for them to use their original agile skills to avoid these javelins. The houses on both sides of the street were piled with a large number of hay. After the battle really began, these processed hay was ignited!

"kill!!!"

Stepping forward, when the distance from the zombies was closer to about ten meters, the Greek infantry arranged in the gun array launched a charge!

The military quality of Greek infantry did not reach the level of Spartan heavy infantry, so their maximum charge was only ten meters. Once this distance was exceeded, it would cause chaos in formation.

Ten meters charge, deducting the length of the spear and the attack distance bonus of the arm, the actual distance used to run is only seven meters. Calculated in one step of 0.5 meters, then this short-range charge will be 14 steps in total!

Fourteen steps are enough!

This distance has already allowed the Greek infantry to obtain the power that is imposed on them due to inertia when charging!

The fourteen-step charge turned the attack that could only penetrate the werewolf's body into piercing damage! The strongest soldier in front of the square even penetrated the werewolf's body with a spear and stabbed the enemy behind the target's body!

There has been a little change in the traditional way of fighting.

This change is the product of Murphy’s improvement! It also increased the explosive power of the quadrain by a major section!

After the first wave of strong charges, dozens of werewolves were pierced through their bodies by spears and instantly lost their combat power.

At this time, it was where the spear square array was originally located.

If the spear hits the enemy, it will take time to pull it out. And on the real battlefield, the spear will be stuck by bones in the human body!

If you don’t have the combat power that is far beyond ordinary people in the story, you need to pull out the spear to more power than you stab the enemy’s body! Because the spear tip is an inverted triangle, if it is stabbed into the ribs, it will easily be stuck by the ribs. At that time, you have to break the enemy’s ribs and then tear off a piece of flesh!

If the spear penetrates the enemy's body because of its excessive force, then you can imagine that a spear head pierces from the belly and then pierces out from the back. An inverted triangle is stuck on the flesh and blood on the back! After a person is injured, the muscles will automatically shrink. This will require greater strength to pull the spear out and take a lot of time.

And this period of time, the enemy in the second row is enough to rush up and get closer to you.

Once the spear square array is pulled closer, the length of the weapon will become a burden!

Western spears do not have as many moves as the East.

Western spearmen have only one move!

prick!

Directly ahead!

90 degrees! Thorn!

Only this move will prick the enemy, pull it out, and then stab it again!

If you are approaching, put down your spear, draw out your dagger, block it with a round shield, and get close to you, the dagger penetrates the enemy's body from the gap below the round shield!

In fact, before the spear is pulled out, the spearman is at its weakest time.

Murphy's reforms are only one thing!

After stabbing out the spear, the spearmen in the first row immediately threw away the spear. They held the round shield in front of them and then squatted down violently!

Then!

The spearmen in the second row shouted loudly, and the spear suddenly stabbed out of the gap in the first row!

Another dozens of adult male zombies who pounced on him were stabbed to the ground.

At this time, the second row of spearmen began to draw the spear head, while the Greek infantry who had squatted down in the first row stood up. If you observe carefully, you will find that the round shield of the first row of Greek infantry was larger than that of the one behind, and the weapons they equipped were not short swords, but long swords!

The second wave of javelins were also thrown out during these breaths!

Suddenly, many werewolves were penetrated by javelins, while the werewolves in front were almost nailed to the ground.

However, in just two or three minutes, nearly three hundred adult male werewolves were injured, and most of them had lost their combat effectiveness.

This series of blows fooled the gnolls in front of them on the spot!

However, the werewolf leader commanding behind saw everything clearly. It did not care about exposing its position, and it made a series of wolf howls in its mouth, ordering the male werewolf in the front row to retreat, and then ordered the army of werewolf behind to support the formation. Then, the werewolf leader, who was as tall as three meters, roared, and the werewolf standing in front of it, and a passage about ten meters wide appeared.

The continuous blows suffered after entering the town have made the gnoll leader with a certain wisdom understand that it is probably difficult for adult male gnolls to break through the defense lines of these humans alone.

As a member of the Kazart tribe, the higher gnolls who have experienced war with humans!

Zamos finally decided to rely on his own personal guards to break through these damn human phalanxes!

Yes, among the werewolves, there has been an additional group of people who call themselves "higher werewolves".

‘Boom! Boom! Boom!’

The sound of deafening footsteps sounded, and the human soldiers lined up in front couldn't help but look terrified on their faces!

As the earth shook, a group of elite zombie guards with an average height of more than 2.5 meters and wearing transformed half-body armor came out!

Walking at the front of the queue was a huge zombie with a height of three meters, covered with blue veins and muscles, and also wearing half-body armor!

Three meters!

This means you can climb to the second floor by raising your hand!

"Oh no! I didn't expect that the werewolf would have such an elite army!" Murphy's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly felt something was wrong.

These werewolves, far taller than their kind, were wearing half-body armor, and basically held heavy weapons weighing more than fifty pounds in their hands. The half-body armor was obviously transformed from human armor. Although they were inappropriate, their defense was not weak at all! Just looking at these elite zombies like little giants made everyone feel a little stressed!

You must never let them rush into the formation!

This is Murphy’s first feeling!

If these gnolls rush into this array, then the Greek spear square formation will be messed up by them! At that time, I will be powerless to turn the world back!

The only thing to be thankful is that the number of these elite zombies is not large, only a few more than twenty.

Sharp!

Murphy pointed his sword at the group of elite zombies guards who were stepping forward. He stared at the heavy Spartan infantry beside him and roared: "Sparta!"

At this time, he could only put all his hopes on the Spartan heavy infantry! In that era, one of the most elite warriors on the earth!!!

"Sparta!!!"

When these three words sounded, there was a fanatical atmosphere throughout the battlefield!

It seems that these three words carry endless courage and strength!

A passage was automatically separated in front of the Greek infantry phalanx!

Then, the Spartan heavy infantrymen who were wearing only a blood-red cloak stepped out of the square. They looked resolute and walked in a brave and fearless manner to the elite zombies who were far stronger than them.

The spear stands solemnly, and the bronze shield reflects golden light under the light of the fire. The bright red cloak is like blood and glory on the battlefield!

The Spartan heavy infantry faced these zombies who were more majestic and more powerful than them.

Hold the spear high!
