Dawn of the Grey Tower
Chapter 23
Torch, light up the dark cave, but also left countless messy shadow. The fighting has been going on for some time, although Mona has warned the mayor of band that the cavemen are aware of the presence of the camp and that their attacks are likely to come at any time. But the mayor believes that stupid cave creatures are not enough to threaten the camp, and that sweet water soldiers can deal with cavemen, and his confidence is justified. Sweet water town as a relatively rich town, although its own armed forces are not much, but very well equipped. Even the armor of the guards made the three soldiers of the frost Legion blush. This is also a very normal thing. As a commercial town, sweet water needs good order more than other places. At the same time, in order to resist bandits, the town''s guard team is indeed stronger than other towns.
However, as the female soldiers said to others in private, although the guards in sweet water are well-equipped, they are not soldiers. They can be used to maintain public order and even deter robbers, but they are not suitable for entering the battlefield. The fact has proved that Mona''s words, the caveman''s sudden attack is expected, but it is also reasonable. These caves, large and small, are the backyards of cave dwellers. If you want to spend the whole winter quietly in someone''s backyard, it''s too belittling for them. What they didn''t expect, though, was that the Neanderthals were far more aggressive than they thought.
"When are there so many cavemen in Longji mountain?" Hahn smashed an enemy who tried to climb the wall with an ax, sighed.
"When I see these big guys, they''ve become so big "Monkey" shot down a cave man in the distance who was ready to throw stones, echoing the way.
Indeed, the current situation is not optimistic. A large number of cave dwellers surround the camp like the tide. If it wasn''t for the high wooden wall three people high blocking their steps, the residents of Tianshui town would have been unable to resist. However, even so, a large number of cavemen also made the defense line crumbling. These wooden fences were not built for fighting, and never thought they would be attacked by such fierce attacks. Fortunately, cheese used magic to strengthen the wood wall in time. Otherwise, the cavemen could smash the outer wall of the camp by throwing stones.
This is a very abnormal phenomenon. According to the experience of frost guards against cavemen, these intelligent creatures are all headed by a big man, showing a tribal appearance. Because of the lack of food, the number of caveman tribes with leaders usually does not exceed 100, and even if two tribes meet, they will fight for food They have never worked hand in hand, even in the face of great enemies. But the current group of cavemen, whether the number of its members or the number of leader cavemen that have been found, is far beyond the normal range. These caveman tribes seem to have reached a certain agreement, temporarily put aside their hostility, and jointly attacked the camp in sweet water town.
"I''m afraid we''ve been calculated." Cheese holds a wooden stick in his right hand, and the top of the iron clad knocks on the caveman''s head, knocking his opponent out in an instant.
"Are you saying that someone drove these cavemen to attack us?" Mona sweeps down the enemy in front of her, and the Tomahawk cuts her opponent''s head mercilessly.
"Yes, there are traces of magic on these cavemen. I think it''s someone who used mind control or something to do with them Waving his wooden staff to block the stone axe, the mage kicked the caveman from the fence.
"I can''t hold on to the other sides!" Elsa, armed with two daggers, dashed from the other direction. As the most agile existence in the group, she was assigned to roam and support the various defense areas.
"Can''t the guards compare with the four of us? All of us can hold a wall, but they can''t? " "Wild boar" exclaimed angrily. Indeed, as the most powerful force, cheese and others defended one side of the four camp walls with four men, but soldiers guarding other directions were losing ground in the face of the caveman attacks.
"I can''t help it. If you let the patrols that catch the most thieves fight these guys, you might as well expect the cavemen to disperse themselves." The woman soldier said indifferently.
"But it''s no way to go on like this. Even if we can keep it, but once one side fails, the result will become very troublesome." Jack said.
"Hello, master, can you make a falling stone like last time?" Hahn asked.
Although they didn''t say so, several soldiers knew that if there was anyone else who could save the camp, it must be cheese. The magic power exerted by the mage was also the key to their fighting here. If cheese is not here, I''m afraid these soldiers should now consider how to retreat. This is not because they are afraid, but they want to guard this humble camp in the hands of such a large number of cavemen, unless they replace the mediocre guards with experienced frost guards and the command of old commander Jon.
"No, there are too many cavemen. I''m afraid I can''t do this now." The mage shook his head, indicating that he could do nothing.This let Elsa be disappointed but relieved. In fact, when several people were looking forward to the answer to cheese, Elsa was hesitant. On the one hand, she really wanted cheese to protect the townspeople in this camp. Anyway, it was the whole town. But on the other hand, since cheese confessed that every time he cast a spell, he would pay a price that ordinary people can''t understand. The landlady really didn''t know whether to expect the power of magic. You know, before the cheese has cast a spell to strengthen the entire camp wall, this magical power will let the mage pay what price? Elsa didn''t want to guess.
I''m afraid that after hearing the other three masters'' faces, it''s hard for them to express their attitude. They exchanged glances and seemed to be making some kind of decision.
"In that case, we are ready to retreat." Said Mona, the woman warrior. Their task is not to guard the camp. Although the glory of the soldiers drives them to help, in the final analysis, the task of these frost guards is to ensure the safety of cheese. Even when necessary, they sacrifice themselves for the mage.
"Wait a minute, maybe something will change." Cheese, of course, can guess what Mona means. In fact, he has one or two hands to prepare when he is abroad. However, if those means are used, the evaluation of his adult mission will be affected. Therefore, the mage does not want to use these cards as a last resort. Cheese is also hesitant whether to spend a huge price to save the residents of sweet water, who once regarded him as the enemy.
However, just as the mage was about to force himself to make a choice, an accident happened.
"For the Empire! Kill all these cavemen in the name of the hammer The roar of war came from the other side of the cave. The cavemen in that direction were separated like butter cut by a sharp blade. A team of shining armor appeared at the end of the fire. The light reflected from their armor was so dazzling in the dark cave.
