Chapter 61: ambush

There is no need to mention the 500 guards. In addition, Roy also recruited seven professional mercenaries. After the news of the Black Dragon was spread, a large group of adventurers and rangers joined the camp of young nobles. The Iraqi troops resumed as many as 1,000 people.
And just recently, the young aristocracy, in the name of the earl, collected a large number of ordnance from Kaki to supplement his consumption.
Although the crossbow was completely destroyed and Archmage Anthony was away from them, Roy's team was still strong.
According to reliable information analysis, the crow tribe under the Black Dragon has less than 300 people, and there are very few real soldiers. After experiencing the war, only about 50 people remain, most of whom are women and young children.
These female orcs rely on their strength and physique. They may be able to loot ordinary travellers, but when it comes to frontal combat, they are by no means the opponents of the regular army.
No matter what, Roy Brando doesn't allow the Black Dragon to escape this way. All the five-colored dragons are extremely vengeful and must-report evils. If it is to give it a chance to breathe, let it regain its strength. It will not only be a scourge It is myself, I am afraid that the entire Brando family will live under this cloud.
Since the last defeat, after several days of rest, his men and horses have been continuously replenished, and the fighting ability has been restored and ready to go.
But this ambush did not involve any mercenaries and adventurers.
Roy worried that these untrained guys would fall off the chain and be incapable of doing such a job, so shelved all of these black people in the valley camp, and the entire ambush was solely responsible for his guard.
I was given the command by Cartus. He only made one gesture without any other communication. The soldiers immediately divided into five teams and entered the ambush site from different directions.
The puppet soldiers showed competent tactical literacy, and soon, everyone was ready to sit in silence and wait quietly.
They covered a cloak of grass blade weaving on their bodies. Although this workmanship is rough and ugly, it is obviously a poor quality product, but it can hide the visual effect and is vital in the ambush.
He waited until everyone was in place, and then Catus carefully pried out the bushes and stared at the path from a higher position.
--come on.
After a short while, a large, irregular block-shaped shadow swept across the woodland, and the flying chicken jumped wherever he went, and Catus raised his head cautiously, peering at its figure from the shade of the forest.
The first thing that hits the eye is the large black scales that spread to the long tail. The inverted triangle-shaped, large membrane wings that are much wider than other dragons, tangled and powerful muscles. The air flow across the wings produces a rumbling sound.
The black dragon hovered overhead.
It's investigating.
Kartus's forehead gradually oozed with sweat stains, and his heartbeat accelerated, which made these elite soldiers so nervous, showing that the black dragon brought them a lot of pressure.
The commander slowly and gently extended his hands behind his back, spreading his five fingers to signal the soldiers not to act lightly. Without the caster and the bed crossbow, it is difficult for them to cause damage to the black dragon in the first place. Use the crossbow to stab the orcs at a long distance, first hit the dragon's relatives by surprise, then turn around to deal with the deity.
Just in case, Catus forced himself to stop peeping at the giant dragon, but stared at the end of the path, motionless and completely calm like a stone sculpture.
After two minutes, the figure of the orc gradually came into view.
Headed by those strong orc warriors in heavy armor, they looked around and seemed to be responsible for guarding the way. After these armed orcs, they were swarming female orcs, forming a group.
And their casters took the youngest and weakest children in the middle.
The orcs were not slow, and the blurred figure in their sight quickly became clear within minutes.
"The orcs are not transferred in batches, which is very good. This will maximize the lethality of the crossbow and arrows. It would be better if they could be swept away in a net," Katus thought.
He was thinking about it. The black dragon had turned around and landed slowly in the distance to stop the orc tribe. Katus saw the lips of the orc fit together, as if talking to the black dragon.
Was he found?
The interim commander's heart trembled, cold sweat dripped into the armor along the neck, and the behavior of the black dragon was different!
However, he was very convinced that his compatriots' military literacy was hidden in dense trees and sprayed with powdered medicine from the Northern Expeditions to hide the smell. Even animals passing by may not find them.
Kartus was hesitant.
The distance is a bit far away, and they are clearly worth the trouble now. They need to charge nearly two hundred meters to allow the orcs to enter the strike range of the handbow and bow, even if they are much stronger than ordinary people, but in a fully armed state, this also It takes at least eighteen seconds.
This time seems short, but enough for the orcs to react with the black dragon.
After thinking about it, Cartus still decided to wait for a while and put the other side as far as possible. It was really no goodbye ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Fortunately, the black dragon just said a few words and patted again. The wings flew into the sky, and the orc tribe began to move again, and their conversation seemed to have nothing to do with this matter.
The interim commander was relieved.
I'm closer, closer.
Kattus slowed down his breathing rhythm. At this time, he had to calm down. There must be no irritability. He must accurately grasp the distance and kill the opponent as much as possible while leaving enough space.
Fifty meters.
Thirty meters.
Ten meters.
The right hand behind Kartus slowly clenched into a fist, signalling the soldiers to be ready to attack, and all of them took a heavy breath and tightened the crossbow.
However, just at this moment, just before Katus was about to order.
The black dragon who has been lingering at high altitude, as if not aware of the ambush circle, suddenly moves. It quickly adjusts the body, shifts the center of gravity, head down, and dives in an instant, passing over 50 meters in two seconds. Vertical height, reaching dangerous distance.
Immediately after, Caesar Oltorenso took a deep breath.
Flame!
With the roar of the dragon, the violent flames swept the earth, swept across all the soldiers' hidden ambush locations, and the entire dense forest was lit.
They were found!
The flame of the black dragon is not only breath, but also a horn of attack. After seeing this scene, the orc warrior in heavy armor, under the command of Garr, quickly roared and launched an assault, intercepting every soldier who managed to escape the sea of ​​fire.
"Array, fight!"
In the flames of the sky, Cartus hoarsely screamed and tried his best to growl, trying to stabilize the battle array, but the effect was worrying, completely covered by the roar of the black dragon and the roar of the orcs.
