Twenty Sided Dice

Chapter 178: Ambush at the mine

The cavalry heading to the Striped Mountain Gold Mine did not know what was happening behind them. They thought that the enemy was still ahead and everything had to be resolved quickly. Since the torches had been lit, they simply proceeded with the lights on. In order to avoid something like a horse pit, the cavalry stretched the line longer, with the three best riders at the front advancing side by side, and the people at the back were a little further away and followed their tracks.

There were no accidents along the way, but William Uther knew that his actions would definitely be discovered. However, he didn't know what kind of countermeasures the other party would make other than trapping the horse pit, and he was even more uncertain whether the gold mine had taken precautions. Now he is in a dilemma.

Based on his intuition and years of tactical learning, he knew that his best option now was to change his tactics and start sweeping the villages of Heimland, forcing the peasants to flee into the unbuilt castles. This will lay the foundation for the next siege. Although the siege took a long time, he believed that the Heim Territory could not have a lot of food reserves, and the lord named Siegel would soon be forced to the point where he ran out of ammunition and food.

But he looked at the knights beside him and wondered how many of them could understand such tactics? Going to the village can find some ale, pig and sheep at most, but what is it compared to gold? If the leader of the vanguard is his own lord father, or the first in line to the heir to the territory - his elder brother Maloch Uther, then this matter is easy to say. But he is only the second son in the family, and his prestige is not high at ordinary times, especially without gold.

Therefore, he is now difficult to ride a tiger, and he can only go out and attack the Gold Mine of Zebra Mountain according to the original plan. He gritted his teeth and ordered the cavalry to attack all night. "If I want to rest, I will rest better when I hold the gold in my arms," ​​he said. Then hurried the horses again.

The mines of Zebra Mountain are divided into two parts: the upper and lower parts of the mountain. Most of the ore is transported down from the mountain, while the refining workshop is at the bottom of the mountain. The villagers of Wanshi Village lived at the foot of the mountain. They built houses with stones and plaster, and they were close to each other. The gaps between the houses are only large enough for one person to walk through. Horses can't get through.

The whole village was dead silent, without a single light or sound. The guards arranged by Humke did not need wind lamps or torches, after all, the eyes of the orcs had already adapted to the darkness. The guards on the mountainside saw a fire dragon running down the ore road from a distance, and then rang the bronze medal. The sound of Dangdang only lasted for a few seconds, but all the people in Wanshi Village woke up.

On the Wasteland of Sunshine. If you don't wake up within half a minute of the enemy's attack, then you are not far from death. The residents of the mine still retain this vigilance. The survivors who survived the harsh battlefield are better adapted to this environment than the leisurely nobles and knights in the south. This is why Henke has the confidence to lead his villagers to guard the mine alone. reason.

Lin Ke once said that Nashi Village is a village that is good at hiding. It's hard to find them when the enemy comes. Perhaps this hiding ability will be greatly reduced in front of the warg's keen sense of smell, but it has never been seen by the southern aristocrats, and it can play its full role.

With the help of tunnels, dark alleys, and blindfolds, the entire village has suddenly become a domain of deadly control. The dumped truck at the entrance of the village scattered some sausages that were not transported into the storage room. Several domestic dogs were fighting each other for this unexpected food, and even the cavalry led by William couldn't care to bark when they were not far away.

In William's eyes, there was a strange atmosphere in the village, as if a faint mist was flowing from the open doors and windows. Slowly covering the empty streets. Except for the occasional barking and the humming of pigs, all that was left was the crunch of the wind blowing the door panels. Occasionally a window slammed against the sash, but only a few dogs at the intersection looked up. Then continue to tear the fat intestines on the ground.

Not only the village, but the gold mine halfway up the mountain is also silent, and it seems that this area is unmanned. William felt that something was wrong, and every strand of his hair was warning him to leave as soon as possible. But his subordinates were more concerned about another matter.

"Could they have removed the gold from the alchemy workshop?" said a knight. "Let's not run for nothing!"

In any case, have a look at the workshop. William waved his hand and led the cavalry to break up the dogs that were blocking the road. Go through the village and rush to the workshop.

They had already found out the location of the workshop through the merchant who delivered food to the village. Not to mention the three huge chimneys and the site where the **** is stacked not far away. William sent one-third of his cavalry to patrol the village, and one-third went to the mining area halfway up the mountain as soon as possible. The remaining third is dismounted. One part was equipped with a shield and a long sword, and the other part was ready to shoot with a bow at any time, then pushed open the door of the workshop and walked in.

The alchemy utensils left by the dwarves were neatly placed, and there were also thirty gold bars next to them. Each one is one palm long and **** wide. They pressed a piece of paper on which was written in scribbled handwriting: "Don't move, it will kill you."

William was really frightened for the first time, his lips trembled, but he didn't say the word "move".

"Mr. Uther?" his men reminded him. "What shall we do next?"

It seems that this time they also understand that the situation is not right. But seeing the gold in front of him and not taking it away, no matter the final victory or defeat, he will become the object of ridicule. So William still bite the bullet and said: "According to the original plan."

Siegel also came to the outskirts of the village on the phantom horse, but his elemental rune guards could not reach the same movement speed, so he stayed far behind, and continued to use his fist hammer to trap the horse pit and cut off the enemy's retreat. . Raven Balon went to another direction, he needed to guard against other troops attacking the village of Heimland. The mage carefully avoided the sight of the surrounding cavalry, and observed the situation of Xinwanshi Village from a distance. He was waiting for Hunk's attack order, which was said to never be missed.

Accompanied by a creaking sound, the hanging cage heading for the mine is slowly rising. The cage can carry fifteen people at a time, but only ten for the heavily armed knights. So more than a dozen other people were climbing up the steep mountain road. The weight of their bodies quickly consumed a lot of their physical strength, and everyone was sweating.

A goblin crawled up to the edge of the cliff and pulled the last thick nail with a crowbar. The cage shook first, and then fell sharply. The wooden cage smashed to pieces on the cliff, and the fully-armed knights reflected a brilliant silver-white light in the moonlight, and smashed to the ground like eggs with a high-pitched "Ah~~~~".

This is the signal of an attack.

Rolling cylinders were thrown down the wooden steps, and they contained many scattered stones. The knight on the stairs quickly crouched down and raised his shield to form a **** to the outside, allowing the barrel to slide down the cliff beside him. As they peered from behind the shield, the axe-wielding goblins charged up.

In a narrow space, the steps such as dodge and sway are not useful at all, only the direct confrontation of muscles and muscles, fighting spirit and fighting spirit. Even Siegel couldn't think of any other idea in this environment than slowly advancing his sword. Orcs dominate the terrain, and they attack from the top down. It only takes two or three men to keep the line steady, and another two or three throwing rocks down the edge of the cliff can be a big threat.

When the loud falling sound of the cage was transmitted to the village, the orc residents also began their counterattack. They quietly leaned out of tunnels and dark alleys and attacked with javelins or simple slings. Although the knights wore sturdy armor, the mounts under their crotch were not treated so well. The sudden attack threw the knights into instant confusion, and several were knocked off their backs by injured horses.

"Counterattack! Assemble! Counterattack!" William shouted loudly, picking up the horn around his waist and blowing it. One long, one short, this is the order to gather. Those soldiers who were still able to control their mounts immediately moved towards the alchemy workshop, and the infantrymen who dismounted swayed and spread their legs to try to gather. However, Hunk would not let them go easily, and the orcs took the lead in rushing up, slashing hard with a curved-blade sword, and killed many soldiers together with the villagers around them.

Siegel also rode his horse into the village at this time, and summoned a flaming wolfhound to assist him in his attack. He was well prepared and cast a spell to protect himself from arrows and swords~www.novelmt.com~ At the same time, a hazy phantom surrounded Siegel, and those who tried to aim at him would not be able to tell where One is the real goal.

However, the scattered enemies in the village were not his target, and it was enough to leave them to Hunk. He had anticipated William's move and knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity: all the cavalry were concentrated next to the alchemy workshop, and there would be a perfect opportunity to attack before they could gather and start moving.

It is very difficult to eliminate nearly a hundred warriors with the Orcs of Stone Village, so be prepared to face huge sacrifices. But Siegel, who has been sailing at sea all the year round, knows that the most dangerous part of the waves is the tip of the wave. He followed the horn of Knight William and saw a large group of people gathered in the open space in front of the alchemy workshop. Behind them is a mountain of **** piled up, and on the other side is a solid chimney house, and they have no way out.

Siegel waved his wand, and all the flaming wolves leaped into the air, smashing into a ball at the tip of the wand. The speed at which the mage gathers the fire elements is too fast, which has affected the stability of these summons and sucked them into the spell together. I saw a large fireball with a diameter of two meters appearing in the air, illuminating the entire village. Knight William shouted in horror: "No~~!"

Siegel waved his wand and let the fireball engulf the courtyard where the cavalry was. (To be continued)
