Chapter 38: Breaking Through the Camp
The chain hammer warriors are the most elite soldiers in the camp.
Its rarity level has reached orange.
There are only 50 of them.
They are the guards of the gnoll chieftain, and are skilled in heavy strikes, sweeping attacks, and other techniques.
Wearing heavy armor, he can easily pierce through enemies ten times his size.
The camp gates opened.
Chain hammer warriors surged forth, and their chain hammers slammed down.
The heavily armored infantrymen with swords and shields in the front row were smashed away.
The moment they made contact, hundreds of sword-and-shield infantrymen died.
"Charge them!"
"Smash those catapults."
Behind the camp, the gnoll chieftain roared and brandished his weapon.
The chain hammer warriors turned and attacked towards the catapults.
The gnolls on the city wall concentrated their fire to suppress the crossbowmen's firepower.
With the threat gone, the gnoll chainhammer warriors quickly broke through the sword and shield infantry's defenses.
"Arthur".
"I'll do it."
At this moment, Alice spoke up.
"Disciplining the nuns requires a battle to prove oneself."
Arthur nodded.
Alice raised the scepter in her hand.
"The Light of Punishment".
It enveloped fifty disciplinary nuns.
This skill can be stacked with the skill of the Punishing Nun.
"Monster."
"It should be purified."
Alice pointed at the gnolls charging forward.
The nuns removed their veils and silently marched toward the battlefield.
"attack!"
No unnecessary words.
The shackles of the shaman struck the charging gnoll.
"Bang!"
Both are orange-tier units, but the Punishing Nun is stronger, fiercer, and more skilled in combat.
The first wave of attacks was a head-on confrontation.
The gnoll chain mace warriors suffered more than half their casualties.
A holy light shield appeared around the disciplinary nun.
His eyes were filled with fervor.
"For the Holy Light."
"The essence of evil."
"boom!"
The nuns pounced on him and smashed the heavily armored gnoll chainhammer warrior into a bloody pulp.
A bloody scene.
This shocked the leader of the gnoll camp and also astonished Arthur.
"Fanatical believers in the Holy Light."
Arthur murmured something and quickly looked toward the gnoll camp.
"Catapult."
"emission!"
The catapults, which had been fully deployed, began to fire.
"Boom!"
The boulders fell like raindrops.
They were precisely focused at the camp gate.
After three rounds.
The wooden camp gate collapsed with a crash.
"kill!"
The lancers, who had been waiting for their chance, received their orders.
One hundred cavalrymen charged out in three waves.
The gnoll leader in the camp also tried to organize the gnolls to plug the gap.
The cavalry charged in.
Ordinary gnoll soldiers faced the charge of the spear-wielding cavalry.
They were completely crushed.
The lancers quickly occupied the city gate and scattered the gnolls who were trying to come to the rescue.
Immediately afterwards, the disciplining nun strode in.
A reorganized group of several hundred gnoll warriors clashed head-on.
Roaring in anger for the Holy Light.
The disciplinary nun pounced on her.
The last mobile force of the gnolls was tied down, defeated, and scattered.
The main force of the central army charged in.
Viktor was in command at this time.
Arthur had long since disappeared.
The moment the city wall was breached.
With the Light of Punishment buff on him, Arthur leaped into the camp.
He forced the gnoll leader to leave with his two-handed greatsword.
at this time.
In the middle of the gnoll camp.
Arthur pulled the crossbow bolt from his shoulder.
Blood dripped from the two-handed greatsword in his hand.
Not far from him was the leader of the gnoll camp.
Its condition was even worse at this point.
But they stubbornly guarded the front of a stone house.
"You can't go in."
"This is the dragon's offspring from the Black Tower Dragon's Nest."
"Let me go, and you can have this camp."
"I left with the dragon egg, never to return."
The gnoll leader spoke in a low voice.
He was not one of those mindless creatures within the forbidden area, but belonged to a powerful force.
An accident brought it and the dragon egg it was guarding here.
They originally planned to leave after the dragon egg hatched, but unexpectedly encountered a powerful enemy at a crucial moment.
Now, he can only rely on the powerful backer behind him.
Little did he know that the Arthur before him was not the true ruler.
Of course, even if you knew, it wouldn't help.
From the moment the battle began, its demise was inevitable.
Arthur lifted the greatsword with one hand.
"I received only one order."
"kill!"
No unnecessary words.
Arthur unleashed his Moonwalk, moving rapidly within a small area.
Even though the gnoll leader had dragon blood, a tough defense, and some magic,
Faced with this pure power damage, there was absolutely no way to resist.
"Sizzle!"
He unleashed a cross slash with his two-handed greatsword.
It struck the gnoll leader's wound again.
This time, even the defensive power granted by the dragon bloodline couldn't stop it.
A cross-shaped bloodline appeared on the gnoll leader's body.
The next second, blood splattered.
The gnoll leader's body was dismembered into four pieces.
"Thump~" She fell down.
Arthur took out the Fountain of Life, drank it, and regained his strength.
He strode into the stone chamber.
Soon, a dragon egg and a treasure chest were dragged out.
Meanwhile, the fighting on the periphery has also ended.
The crossbowmen occupied the city walls and high ground.
The spearmen joined forces with the sword and shield infantry to begin clearing the area.
The sword-and-shield infantry reorganized and guarded another exit.
The cavalry galloped back and forth in the camp, relaying the number of gnolls in each area.
At that moment, a cavalryman found Arthur.
"Your Mightiness."
"The gnolls are all dead; we are counting their numbers."
"Um."
Arthur nodded.
"Report the good news to the lord immediately."
"A resounding victory!"
"Yes, ma'am."
......
Within the territory.
Liya is reporting the situation in the territory to Lin Chuan.
"My lord."
"The technical worker career transition manual you brought back has been fully utilized."
"The territory has more than 300 skilled workers."
"Product output is ten times higher than before."
"But resources around our territory are already severely depleted."
"We must open up new territories and find new resources as soon as possible."
"Especially gold and iron ore."
"As the territory upgrades, the daily maintenance costs become very high."
Currently, I only have five territories.
The quantity has indeed decreased.
However, once the territory is expanded again, the benefits of the beginner period will no longer apply.
It can connect territories together.
We need to rebuild the city outside.
"Population, soldiers, and the heroes stationed there."
"Only by acquiring these can we hold onto our new territory."
There are no problems with population or soldiers.
And hero units.
There are currently fewer than six in total.
Liya is in charge of logistics management.
Victor, Alice, Rhea, and Daenerys are all highly specialized and not all-round talents.
Only Arthur is capable of taking on the responsibility of managing an entire outer town.
"Send Arthur out to guard the new territory?"
Lin Chuan hesitated.
"Why not try summoning a special unit and cultivating a hero like Arthur?"
There was also a roll of paper in the warehouse that had never been used.
Lin Chuan went to the market again and bought them at a high price.
Special unit summoning scrolls are very rare and extremely scarce.
Lords all know the importance of heroes.
However, as long as the price is right, some lords are willing to sell.
When Lin Chuan sent out the news of the high-priced acquisition.
Soon someone came knocking on the door.
"Targeted recruitment."
"All-rounder unit".
