Mount and Blade System: Start from Pioneer Lords.

Chapter 114 The tip of the needle versus the awn of wheat

Wolves and beasts are intertwined, swords are as fast as meteors, and life and death are separated in an instant.

The Burning Legion scout team didn't even break through the light plate chain mail, and the five opposing werewolf scouts whose necks were easily slashed. They fell off their wolves with horror on their faces, leaving their pack wolves rushing out dozens of steps before realizing that their master had fallen to the ground.

One point to mention here is that the upgrade path for the Jackal is very simple, and they can basically only develop towards the Ranger direction.

From high to low, they are - "Gnoll Civilian", "Gnoll Nomad", "Gnoll Rider", "Gnoll Ranger", "Gnoll Raider", and "Wailing Sower".

There are six levels of troops in total, and cavalry starts from the second level.

Although this group of Burning Legion's gnoll scouts are young and have basically just reached the level of being able to become warriors, they often went to kill those wandering wilderness bandits some time ago.

Therefore, except for the two scar-faced and lame ones who had been following Hogg, who were fourth-level "Gnoll Rangers", the rest were all third-level "Gnoll Riders".

With the support of the system's power and the crushing equipment, they were able to knock down the five wolf scouts on the opposite side as soon as they met, and the difference in strength was immediately apparent.

The remaining seven scouts on the opposite side retreated hastily. To be honest, although transmitting intelligence was the primary job of a scout, nearly half of their brothers were knocked down as soon as they met the enemy, and there was not even a single injured person on the opposite side. They inevitably felt fear in their hearts.

The scout team wanted to expand their victory. After all, blocking the enemy scouts from transmitting information was one of their tasks when they had the upper hand. However, just as they caught up with the enemy for a few dozen steps, they saw a forest of flags and a huge army waiting in anticipation.

As a last resort, he could only wave his scimitar in a demonstrative manner from a safe distance, leaving behind mocking whistles, and then turned his head back to High Cliff Castle.

The scouts of both sides also delivered intelligence to each other's leaders.

"Oh, King Harland may he live long."

Li Wei said something that no one understood, stretched himself, and made a sound like frying beans: "I've been waiting for almost a lifetime, and it's finally here."

Patting the giant iron door under his butt, which was no longer a shield but looked like a block of iron, Levi showed a satisfied smile.

He specially asked the blacksmith Fed to make this shield. The thickness alone was more than 20 centimeters, which could completely block his body. It was made of high-quality materials and was mixed with mountain copper.

The only threat the dragon poses to him is its breath that can melt steel. As long as he can block the first breath of the dragon, he will be confident that he can defeat the dragon. Therefore, this specially made shield naturally came into being.

If the lord was afraid that steel could not block the dragon's breath and had to increase the thickness, then the shield mixed with magic metal made him more confident.

Next to it was a huge weapon that looked like a spear gun, with a circle of iron chain connected to the end.

As long as the lord hits the dragon, the barbs made with evil intentions will be firmly embedded in the flesh, allowing the lord to control the dragon at will like flying a kite.

By then, the dragon will be nothing more than a lamb to be slaughtered.

It can be said that the two methods Levi came up with were not very sophisticated, and were even crude, but why had no one used them before?

It's just because of strength limitations.

Being able to use a shield weighing thousands of pounds and a harpoon with a chain weighing hundreds of pounds, my lord is the only one in history.

In the past, those kingdoms captured dragons by shooting heavy iron arrows with crossbows and attaching iron chains to the end of the arrows.

But there is not a single one like my Lord who relies solely on manpower for projection.

"Let everyone be on guard and execute the plan that has been made."

The gnoll messenger who received the order jumped onto his wolf and headed to the various positions with the order. The Lord's order would be thoroughly implemented throughout High Cliff Castle. "I saw a team of Minotaurs on the other side." Hogg said heavily while feeding his wolf with fresh water.

The Minotaur is a minotaur, a very rare species in the wilderness. It can be seen as a bull walking upright.

Because there are differences even within the same race, some look like cattle, while others look like buffaloes.

From this point we can see some differences. Aliens such as gnolls and orcs are more like humans than beasts, while Minotaur is purely a beast that can walk upright.

Although these minotaurs are cows, they are thorough carnivores, have very bad tempers and are cruel, and are keen on war and killing.

Ninety-nine percent of the members are either fighting or on their way to fight.

But these are not the reasons why they can make the heroes of the wilderness so afraid of them. The truly crucial thing is that these Milotaurs, as long as they reach adulthood, are super strong men with a height of more than three blades and a weight of a thousand pounds!

But from a physical point of view, it is actually similar to a troll, weaker than a giant monster, but...

They also have a deadly ability - half-frenzy!

Once involved in combat, they will automatically fall into this "semi-frenzy" ability.

In this state, Milotaus' strength and endurance will be greatly enhanced, and even pain will be eliminated, completely turning him into a tireless killing machine.

But everything has its pros and cons. This frenzy will also make them lose their minds, causing the team, which already has little discipline, to become a mess and start fighting each other.

This also means that they will never be able to make it to the big stage. Once they join a battlefield with more than 10,000 elite soldiers, they will lose their minds and be no different from domestic pigs with only strength. Being slaughtered is their only fate.

But if this battlefield is just a battle between a ragtag group of enemies in the wilderness, then frenzy is an absolutely powerful skill to deal with a group of equally undisciplined ragtag troops in the wilderness, enough to pose a great threat to the opponent.

"Minotaur?" Levi thought for a moment and asked, "How many people are there exactly?"

"There are too many people. I can't count their exact number, but there should be more than a hundred." Hogg shook his head.
"If an enemy comes, we will fight him. If a flood comes, we will block it with earth. What can a minotaur do? How many arrows can it block from you, sir?"

Levi sneered and glanced at the dense reeds on the river bank not far away.

"Hogg asked the wolf cubs to continue their investigation and keep track of the opponent's every move."

……

"Sir, we have spotted the scouts sent out from the other side."

Gorgon sat on the back of the Black Mountain Deer Boar and listened carefully to the information collected by the kneeling werewolf scout.

"We have already slaughtered those two tribes, but I didn't expect the news to get out."

Gorgon felt a little regretful. He wanted to catch the opponent off guard, but he didn't expect that the other party was well prepared.

However, the most important problem was that their marching speed was too slow. However, there was nothing that could be done about it. A team of 4,000 people could not march fast.

"Since the other party has discovered us, don't let them get away!"
