Chapter 38 Stunned Enemies The first ones to notice the presence of outsiders on the fifth floor were the 10 veteran thugs of the Lake Rat Gang who were stationed at the elevator door. When the fierce kicking sounds on the door came one after another, accompanied by roars and excited shouts, these veteran thugs of the Lake Rat Gang, who came from bandit gangs, looked at each other, stretched out their hands and drew the woodland axes on their waists, and prepared for battle one by one. And they noticed that the battle below was becoming more and more intense, and that people were moving along the floors towards where they were, so they wanted to report. The Swadian infantry and light infantry that were originally stationed in the main house of the stronghold all gathered together. He said that he came here on the orders of Lord Shen Mu to assist in the defense and to see what was going on. That is to say, look what happened. Finally, they pushed open the fire door of the stairs and went to the sixth floor to make tactical arrangements for an ambush. The result was an earthquake. Whether it was the veteran thugs of the Lake Rat Gang or the infantry and light infantry of Swadia, in a moment of distraction or the blink of an eye, they found themselves in a... 10-meter-wide corridor!
Before these people could react, they heard screams of fear and panic shouting from behind them. "Run! It's the Gnolls! And the Wild Goblins!" "Protect Miss Liu Na first!" "Someone must hold back those ferocious gnolls and wild goblins! Someone must make sacrifices!" "You protect Grandpa Pero! Young men! Follow me!" "There are warriors among halflings, too!" Ten veteran Lake Rat Gang thugs, 10 Swadian infantrymen, and 15 Swadian light infantrymen stared in surprise and turned their heads to look in the direction of the sound. Of course, we also saw that the half-men, each about meters tall, were surrounding a woman in a black robe and running in panic towards the depths of the corridor. However, the more they ran, the stiffer their legs became. They were stunned on the spot and slowly stood still as if they had been extremely frightened. Of course, these Lake Rat Gang thugs and Swadian soldiers recognized the dwarves and the man in black robes. They were the Halfling and Ms. Liuna on the fifth floor. Lord Shen Mu expressed his goodwill as a collaborator. But now, these Lake Rat Gang thugs and Swadian soldiers looked past these halflings and Liu Na, staring at the back of them in amazement. The one that appeared before them between the fifth and sixth floors... castle! The entire structure is built with huge stone slabs, 9 meters high, extending directly from the floor under your feet to the ceiling above your head. There are also huge stone towers on both sides. Even from nearly a hundred meters away, you can see the concave and convex battlements on it and the densely packed loopholes on the wall. Even these soldiers who were born in the continent of Calradia, and who had been fighting in this chaotic world to the point of having their brains run out, couldn't help but feel confused for a moment. Then he took a deep breath and his expression was extremely interesting! "This... is the great power of Lord Shen Mu!" This thought arose in the minds of these Lake Rat Gang thugs and Swadian soldiers. That's right. They can see the changes.
I also noticed this transformation which was like a divine power. After all, whether they are the veteran thugs of the Lake Rat Gang or the Swadian infantry and light infantry, they are all living people. Everyone has their own thoughts and ideas. Everyone has their own emotions. Of course, they have all had the Mount and Blade system deeply instilled in their minds since birth, and they have a heartfelt admiration and respect for Shen Mu, a mysterious and noble figure whom even the king has to pay homage to. Now, because of Lord Shen Mu, they have crossed the barriers of time and space and arrived in this strange world. I have seen such huge changes again. Of course, everything is attributed to Lord Shen Mu, who possesses power comparable to that of a creator god. I have great respect for you in my heart! They were even so excited that their hearts were beating rapidly! 'Boom! ' Just at this moment, the fire door of the stairs not far behind him was suddenly kicked open. Then, accompanied by a burst of hideous laughter, a group of gnolls holding scimitars and wild goblins holding axes and maces, howled excitedly, raised their weapons high, and rushed into the 10-meter-wide corridor. Then, as they ran, they all froze in place, looking at the surrounding decoration style that was obviously different from the one below, and even the howling disappeared. These jackals and wild goblins stared at the fully armed humans in front of them with wide eyes... They all swallowed their saliva and were a little speechless! "stop!" "Explain your purpose!" At this time, the 10 veteran thugs of the Lake Rat Gang who were supposed to be stationed at the entrance of the stairs reacted instantly. He picked up the woodland axe in his hand and took two steps forward, holding the round shield on his left arm in front of his chest. He stared at the foreigners who had jackal heads or were short and ferocious, and shouted in a deep voice without any fear: "Be honest!" "Those! Those are bandits! They killed a lot of people! They also killed Geng Jun!!!" Then, in the back, the halflings who were still between the castle and the Swadian soldiers started shouting excitedly. The halflings who were kind by nature even had tears in their eyes, and pointed at the gnolls and wild goblins excitedly and loudly accused them: "These are murderers!!! They are the bad guys who came to rob and massacre our apartment building!!!" “Huh?!” At this time, let alone the 10 veteran thugs of the Lake Rat Gang. Even those Swadian infantry and light infantry who had not yet reacted, after hearing these words, immediately turned around in an orderly manner, picked up their 2-meter-long spears, and almost in an instant, spread out along the 10-meter-long corridor, forming a dense spear formation! "…enemy!" The Swadian infantry and light infantry shouted in unison, pointing their spears forward with a cold glow. Even the 10 veteran Lake Rat Gang thugs at the front line facing the jackals and wild goblins changed their expressions. They went from their previous relaxed state to the Lake Rat Gang villains who were rampant in the Great Lakes region! Looking at the large number of them, densely packed in the 10-meter-wide corridor. "Change the harpoon!" These more experienced Lake Rat Gang veterans put away their woodland axes and reached back from their backpacks to pull out 10 harpoons each. A harpoon that is longer, stronger, sharper, and has greater armor-piercing ability than the ones equipped by the new members of the Lake Rat Gang.
Of course, throwing weapons are more lethal! "Humans! Kill!" At this time, the jackals and wild goblins finally reacted, and each of them had a red look in their eyes. His eyes were full of bloodshot. His eyes were full of brutality and cruelty. Especially after they had just killed so many humans and eaten so much fresh and sweet human flesh, the madness from the jackals and wild goblins quickly manifested when they saw these human soldiers who thought they were humans from the spiritual world. "Ow!" Then, as the gnolls raised their scimitars and the wild goblins raised their battle axes, they howled and began to kill the humans who were very close in front of them, less than 20 meters away! There were 13 gnolls and 34 wild goblins, a total of 47 people. It gives them confidence in their numerical advantage! Moreover, in their impression, encountering these human regular armies in the border areas of the kingdom that roam through the wilderness and desert would be very difficult and hard to deal with, but when they took over as the main force and rushed forward violently. Except for those humans who ride horses, the rest of those who don't ride horses are not much stronger than them. There are even some guys wearing sackcloth and holding spears, who would be so scared that their legs would go weak when they encounter them. Just attack more fiercely. It will cause those cowardly human beings to collapse on the spot! "A bunch of weak human militia!" There were already gnolls and wild goblins shouting excitedly: "Kill them! We will have a good meal today!" "Have a good meal!" Upon hearing this, the gnolls and wild goblins became even more crazy with excitement, and the bloodshot in their eyes became even more intense. The pace of the charge is even faster than running! then… As the 10 veteran thugs of the Lake Rat Gang were throwing with great skill, the six or seven jackals in the front fell to the ground with their heads dropped as the black shadow appeared! The slender, barbed harpoon that was thrown out directly pierced through the bodies of the six or seven unfortunate gnolls. The sharp fork head stabbed out from behind. Without waiting for the werewolf that fell to the ground to howl. In front of them, the 10 veteran thugs of the Lake Rat Gang whipped out new harpoons, and without even looking at them, they threw another wave of harpoons at the jackals and wild goblins that were already within 10 meters in front of them, looking at their ferocious faces that were still naive and cute, one by one! Throwing harpoons before charging is the specialty of the Lake Rat Gang's veteran thugs. If the opponent does not change formation. Or ignore the use of shields to block and rush to the front of these Lake Rat Gang members for close combat. Then these Lake Rat Gang villains would be very happy to do the same as they do now. Pick up the harpoon in your hand. Just like fishing in a big lake, he aimed at his target and threw the harpoon one by one! If aiming is not taken into consideration, a round of javelin throwing only takes seven or eight seconds. What’s more, these are veteran thugs of the Lake Rat Gang who are extremely skilled in throwing.
In just less than twenty seconds. They had already thrown out four or five harpoons. In front of him, one third of the aggressive jackals and wild goblins who were huddled together, with no room to dodge and could only use their bodies to resist the harpoons, were already lying on the ground. A 1-meter-long harpoon was stuck in the body, and the torn wound caused heavy bleeding, causing the person to go into shock or serious injury instantly. With wails and howls of pain. The remaining two-thirds of the jackals and wild goblins, who were almost in front of the senior thugs of the Lake Rat Gang, began to hesitate in their steps, with fear in their eyes. Because at this time, not only did we see these veteran Lake Rat Gang thugs drawing their woodland axes and preparing for hand-to-hand combat. I also saw it right behind these veteran Lake Rat Gang thugs. Led by 15 Swadian infantrymen and followed by 30 Swadian light infantrymen, they raised 45 spears more than 2 meters long, passed by the senior thugs of the Lake Rat Gang, then put the spears flat and began to accumulate towards them step by step, like a forest of spear phalanx! At this time, the fire door of the stairs was just pushed open. Zhang Caidong and the two brothers from the Sun family came out. Looking at the situation in front of him, he was stunned to find that he had fallen into an absolutely disadvantageous situation in just a few minutes! (End of this chapter)
