Chapter 596: capture

The five hundred and 96th chapter capture
　　\"Lilith stop the wind and follow me on the dark elf"
A brief command was issued, and nine thousand people moved swiftly. The white elves who had been outflanked formed a huge circle. The flashing cyan rays of the four thousand elves were connected together, and the rich cyan halo suddenly enveloped. After this whole area, a large wind barrier was erected.
　　 The wind stopped screaming in an instant, and the wind and sand flying in the air began to fall weakly, and the blurred figure in the wind and sand gradually became clear.
　　\"Try to catch live"
Robben watched the dark elves suddenly start to increase, like a tiger that pounced on the lamb, and added anxiously.In the wind and sand that gradually became clear, the sound of swords and soldiers colliding was already heard, accompanied by a sound. Screams.
The wind stopped, the sand stopped...Everything became clear. Just in this huge windproof screen erected by four thousand white elves, there were more than a thousand strange-looking devices, about half a person's high equipment, and these equipment. Above, none of them seemed to stand three or five people, but Robben was not sure how many people were, because now they are almost all lying on the ground...
　　 Fortunately, the dark elves seemed to have heard Robben's words in the end. These enemies of unknown origin were all smashed to the ground, but few died.
　　 Robben walked up to the weird-looking equipment, took a closer look, and was slightly surprised. He didn't expect that there would be such a sophisticated equipment in this world of magical civilization.
This is a ballista, which seems to be specially designed to shoot that kind of very heavy and huge crossbow arrows. The outside of the ballista is covered with thick tarpaulin. When operating, people can go directly inside and shrink directly. Manipulating this kind of thing inside is completely undisturbed by the wind and sand outside. Inside, a huge crossbow bolt fixed on the base occupies almost all the space. On the side, three crossbow arrows are placed, and Robben gets into the car. Looking at it, it seems that there are only a dozen crossbow arrows that can be put inside, and there is almost no place to put them more.
　　The bottom of the ballista is a dozen rows of thick rollers. The very large area of ​​force can make the ballista move up on such soft desert soil without sinking.
\"The officer stayed, the rest of the captives were left with a thousand people, the rest were let go, these ballistas... all pushed back" quickly made a decision, the elves and witches confiscated all the enemy weapons and stayed A thousand prisoners left quickly.
　　 Looking at the ballistas that were pushed by the elves and didn't seem to be very laborious, Fanny asked curiously: "Roben, how do you know where the enemy will appear?"
　　 Robben smiled triumphantly, \"How about Fanny? I haven't thought of it yet, right?"
　　Fanny hammered Robben, \"Say it quickly, tell me it doesn’t work if you know you are smart"
Robben looked at the crossbow carriages and explained: \"After they attacked us, I noticed that those crossbow bolts are special. Those crossbow bolts should be made of some special material. They are very heavy. It is a metal crossbow bolt of equal size, and it is not much heavier than it.Such a crossbow bolt must be very inconvenient to carry.In other words, these crossbow bolts cannot be directly carried on the back like ordinary bows and arrows. Obviously, this kind of thing will not be carried too much."
　　Fanny blinked,\"What can I do?"
Nalan, who was walking aside, couldn't help but laughed softly, and said: "We were attacked by two waves in a row. In order to track the enemy, we moved forward and backward, but when we almost returned to the original position, on the ground But it is already clean. The huge crossbow bolts that have attacked us for the first time are all missing. Obviously, the enemy picked it back silently with this weather. I Many of the crossbows that attacked us in the second wave have already been used in the first wave."
　　Fanny suddenly realized, \"Roben, have you also discovered this?"
　　Roben nodded,\"I was quite impressed when I saw these crossbow bolts for the first time, so I paid more attention to it. When I found that the crossbow bolts on the ground were gone, I doubted this."
　　\"Then... how did the enemy know our direction and attack us accurately?" Fanny seemed to be going to ask the bottom line.
　　 Robben raised his head, looked at the chaos around him, and shook his head slightly, "I don't know this now, but I think we will get the answer soon"
　　\"Soon?" Fanny was puzzled.
　　\"Soon before we return to Daying, we should... There will be another 1.3 or something, Nalan, you have to be careful."
In fact, Robben meant that the witches of Nalan should be as vigilant as possible, and protect these elves under unexpected circumstances. In the previous two attacks, many elves actually lived because of the cover of the witches. Down.
　　Naran said softly: \"Roben, if it were just some human beings, I think we can now scatter around and scout, so that we can get the enemy's intelligence more accurately."
Robben thought for a while, and said negatively: \"We still don't take risks. Now that the Protoss has participated in it, we must be careful. It is not easy for the Protoss to come to one. I must have the advantage in number. When the situation is not very clear, it is very dangerous for you to disperse your actions, or in this kind of environment that cannot take care of each other."
　　 Nalan deliberated on Robben's words several times, nodded gently, and did not raise any objections.
This time it was also for some purposes, and it was also the relationship between the ballistas, which were light, but bulky compared to humans. Robben, the nine thousand elves and witches, moved much slower than they did when they came. Then, Robben's brows couldn't help but twitched, \"coming"
　　Fanny almost exclaimed at the same time, \"There is something around"
　　 In the constant search of mental power, Robben and Fanny, who share their spirits, noticed at the same time that a lot of aura had already emerged in the surrounding sand.
　　\"Preparing to meet the enemy, the number of enemies... is much more than us, and... the race is uncertain" Robben frowned slightly and gave the order.
　　\"Uncertain race?" Nalan was slightly surprised, \"Roben, could it be..."
　　 Robben shook his head,\"No...this may be, but it is small, it should be human, but...with something."
　　The elves contracted their formation, with the captives and the ballista in the middle, the white elves as a long-range attack and support force in the middle, and the dark elves surrounded the outermost.
　　\"What smell is this?"
　　 Lilith frowned. Across the wind shield on her body, Lilith seemed to smell the air, which was more disgusting than sand.
　　\"Blessing Defense" Robben looked at the fuzzy shadows that began to appear in the wind and sand, feeling a little weird in his heart, and the air really seemed to be filled with a strange smell.
　　 Antivirus?
　　 Robben's nerves were slightly nervous, but he instantly denied his thoughts. If he used poison gas in such a squally windy weather, it might be possible to know who was poisoned first.
　　 The white elves began to repeatedly apply defensive magic shields to the dark elves. At the same time, they secretly gathered magic power, ready to attack at any time.
　　 Gradually, the black shadows in the wind and sand began to realise. At the same time, the smelly smell of the wind had become very obvious, and a somewhat dull roar began to sound around.
Suddenly, an unusually sharp whistle sounded around, and the dull roar of the wind suddenly turned into a roar. Amidst the wind and sand, I don't know how many black shadows were jumping quickly towards the dark elf's first line of defense. Come.
　　\"It seems that it is some kind of low-level beast, you humans can really think of any way." Nalan's voice seemed relatively relaxed, and he didn't feel anxious about the current situation.
　　\"Nalan"
Nalan waved his hand softly,\"Ah, you know, our boss, we will protect your little elves. Don't worry, these things that attack us don't feel like there is any powerful magic power. , It shouldn't be difficult"
　　Nalan said here, in the wind and sand, countless shadows have rushed out with roars.
　　\"This...what is this?"
　　 The dark elves are at a loss for a while. In the elven forest, almost all creatures are very strange, or very beautiful, and few are very ugly and fierce.
　　 And now, these things that popped out of the sand...
　　 Robben also felt nauseated, \"What the is this?"
What rushed out to attack the elves was a kind of beast that looked like a lizard. It was estimated to be half a human being, with sturdy limbs. It seems that it usually crawls on the ground with sharp black claws on its toes. This kind of thing has almost no neck, and the head is so long on the neck, but from Robben's point of view, this monster has four eyes on the head. I don't know if there are also on the other side.
　　 Robben didn't see the nostrils on the monster's head, but the big mouth was unusually eye-catching. There were two rows of sharp teeth in the big mouth. This monster was obviously not vegetarian.
　　 is dragging a sturdy tail behind, and Robben sees that this thing can be attacked with its tail
This monster is covered with sand and dust, and I don't know if it is skin or crocodile lizard-like scales. On the mud that occasionally falls off during exercise, you can see the sticky mucus. The sand on this monster, many of them are It was humid, even like mud. When this kind of thing appeared, the stench in the air suddenly became richer than just now.
\"These things are not magical. They have thicker skins. Be careful of their tails. Don’t panic.
Robben and Fanny have rushed to the front, guarding Fanny behind them. Robben’s hand has a blue blade that is more than two meters long. Long, he killed four or five such disgusting things in an instant. Robben realized that these things were not very sensitive, but they were thick and thick, and the blades were cut, and they felt like they were cutting on hardwood.
After a brief period of panic, the dark elves finally organized effective defense and attack.During this period, the white elves' defensive magic helped a lot, and many dark elves saved their lives as a result. When the dark elves stabilized their positions, the rear The magic attack of the white elves began to be powerful. These large lizards, which were hardly injured under the white elves's blade, appeared very fragile in front of the white elves' magic.
Four thousand white elves, under the leadership of Lilith, began to bombard the surroundings like four thousand cannons. For a while, flesh and blood flew all around, the thick juice flowed turbulently, and the smelly gas could hardly breathe people. , The dark elves slowly and quickly retracted their formation, and now the rising Baijinglin almost pressed these large lizards that were constantly jumping out of the sand into the dust of the wind.
　　Gradually, no more lizards like this came out. Except for the limbs and blood of the lizards that jumped out earlier, no lizard was alive.
Smelling the disgusting smell in the air and looking at the sight in front of her, Fanny wanted to vomit for a while, lying in Robben's arms, Fanny gasped slightly, \"Roben, this...is you Said... the answer?"
　　 Robben looked around and said quickly: "The enemy has stopped attacking, let's leave here first, it smells..."
　　 Before he finished speaking, Robben hurriedly hugged Fanny, and a huge crossbow passed by, making Robben let out a cold sweat.
　　\"Be careful that the enemy is still there"
With previous experience, this time the dark elves guarding the front did not appear to be flustered at all, knowing that these crossbow arrows are very heavy, and there is no dark elves to fight recklessly. Open, this kind of attack is no longer a threat to the dark elves who reach out quickly.
　　\"Asshole who doesn't know how to advance or retreat"
　　 Robben cursed, and turned his head and yelled at Lilith: \"Aim those cars with a trigger inside them. Anything with a crossbow bolt, you will go in and pull it for me."
This is not difficult to do. There are no enemies around, and there are dark elves in front of them to block those huge crossbow arrows. The white elves really have nothing to do. Robben’s voice came, and Lilith immediately asked the tribe to adjust the direction of the ballistas. , And let the nearby elves get in.
　　 With the sound of the sturdy crossbow string of the vibrating air, five or six hundred huge crossbow bolts flew aimlessly in the direction of attacking oneself, and the number of crossbow bolts shot from the opposite side was reduced by nearly half.
　　\"We rush over now"
　　 Robben felt that the other party should want to change direction now, he roared, but he was shocked in his heart, lowered his head and stared at the ground under his feet.
　　 There is nothing wrong with the ground at all, the wind and sand are still blowing around, but...
　　\"Those ghosts will burrow in the ground. Everyone wants to get closer to the Nalan Petrified Trap." Robben turned his head and yelled, pulling Fanny to the center of the team quickly.
It is not uncommon for things to be able to burrow into the ground, but there are not many that can burrow underneath, but there are no traces on the ground.Roben is truly horrified, and there is a considerable amount of things moving deep underground. Coming towards the foot of his team, from the perspective of breath, it was just like those disgusting lizards.
　　 All the elves immediately began to shrink toward the center and the west. At the same time, the witches scattered in the team squatted down, and the black light began to rise on the body, and then quickly stood up in the surprised eyes of the white elves.
The petrified trap is not a kind of advanced magic, but because it is not a direct release magic, it needs to be touched by others before moving, so it will be a little troublesome to set it up.Although it is not difficult, it takes some time to complete this magic. \"Human mercenary" completed the petrified trap with a speed faster than his own casting speed, which made the magic-proficient white elves extremely strange.
\"coming"
Needless to say, Robben, everyone also felt the vibrations under their feet. Before Robben's words fell, the ground had suddenly exploded. The large lizards that had just jumped out of the sand dragged their gray-black bodies with mucus. Roaring out from the ground.
A black light flashed under the feet of the elves, and the petrified magic laid by the witches moved instantly.These big lizards had big mouths with fishy smells. Before they bite the nearest elves around, they had been plated with a layer of stone brown and jumped out. Those on the ground, their bodies stiffly fell to the ground, those who had not jumped out of the ground, half of their bodies were on the ground, half of their bodies were underneath, and the fierce appearance of teeth and claws was very clearly left on their bodies that had turned grayish brown.
　　 These lizards, none of them left, were all killed by the surrounding elves and witches.
Soon there will be no more lizards on the ground, or that they can’t get out even if they want to drill. The petrified traps on the ground have all moved, and the soft ground under the elves’ feet has become as hard as rock. Although these lizards can shuttle in relatively soft soil, there is no way for this solid rock.
And it seems that the minds of these lizards are not very good.After the elves have made countless efforts to add to the ground, they have begun to bypass these hard grounds. The outer parts of the elves are relatively soft and have not been petrified. The trap came out of the petrified ground. As a result, it was baptized by the magic of the white elves for several rounds, and there was no one left.
　　\"The enemy seems to be retreating, we chase after"
The hazy shadows in the distance have begun to fade. Robben estimated that the other party should see it. He prepared to retreat and immediately rushed over with everyone. It is a pity that he chased a long way forward in the wind and sand, but I didn't get anything, and I didn't even see the huge crossbow bolts shot from my side. gone.
　　Roben looked rather helplessly at this windy and sandy climate, \"Forget it, take back some of the petrified corpses of that disgusting lizard, let's go back."
In the barracks of the Caton Empire, General Bethlow looked sad, sitting at the table of the big tent and tapping his fingers. "Have you come back? Almost a day has passed. How about our scouts? Neither did they come back?"
\"Old man, you are in a hurry. In this kind of weather, even if you go out for a few miles, it will take some time to come back. Since Duke Robben said so surely, I think it must be the reason, we still Wait patiently."
Bethlow knocked his five fingers on the table, and slammed his fist on the table. He said in annoyance: \"Wait, I'm old, so it's easy to follow other people's ways, if it's not for others Save, I have already gone to see the emperor, and now I can easily believe the words of young people, and let the Grand Duke of the empire go out to investigate the enemy. It is so confused.
After shouting three times, Bethlow stood up fiercely from his seat, \"Send my personal army to join me and go out to find Duke Robben’s team. Whether it is life or death, he must find Duke Robben. come back"
　　 Everyone in the big tent showed horror on their faces.
\"I said, old man, you are not the time to do this now. It is not the same danger for you to go out. If something happens to Duke Robben, you need to take charge of everything here. If you run out too, how can we do?"
Bethlow pushed away this old friend who had been fighting with him for decades.\"It is not the time to consider those, we have just left the empire. If Duke Robben died or disappeared at this time, we This time the expedition has already failed halfway, so it doesn't matter whether I am alive or dead. In any case, I must find Duke Robben back. Hey...silly, really old silly"
　　 Turning his head, Bethlow stared at him, \"What is the messenger still doing, and he doesn't convey my order yet"
\"Yes Yes"
Just ran to the door of the big tent, the curtain of the big tent was picked up, and a soldier walked in quickly, and almost collided with the messenger who was going out~EbookFREE.me~General Bethlow, led by Duke Robben Its troops have returned and are now entering the camp"
　　 Hearing this news, Bethlow's old face with scars and scars was stunned, and then a red light of excitement rose, \"It's great to be back, great"
　　 As he said, Bethlow shook off the crowd, did not wear his own windbreaker, and quickly walked out of the big tent.
　　 Robben looked at everything in the barracks in order, and there was no trace of fighting. He settled down, and it seemed that the other party had not attacked here.
　　\"Duke Robben, you can count back." In the dust, Bethlow appeared in front of Robben with a face full of joy.
　　 Robben was very happy when Bethlow ran out to greet him personally. Anyway, this little old man still values ​​himself very much.
　　 As soon as the elves returned to the camp, they all got into the tent and never came out again. Those who were injured also hid in their companions’ tents for treatment. There were no sentries or the like.
　　 The witches are the same.
　　 In the middle army tent, Robben shakes off the dust all over his body and spit out the sand in his mouth. This made people carry up the body of the lizard he had brought back.
　　 had been chopped off by the dark elves, and as soon as the petrified corpse appeared in the big tent, everyone was surprised, but Bethlow looked a little more solemn.
