"As a carnivorous species, jackals see all living things - including their people - as food. Jackals have no feelings for other races. They just want to get a share from others. Jackals will share happiness with you, but never suffer together. The length of time they cooperate with you depends entirely on whether you are strong enough and whether you feed them enough. Jackals are lazy and savage, and have no talent. They are good at a few processes, but they don''t know how to smelt metals. Instead of mining or farming, they live a nomadic and hunting life.
The society of jackals is totally based on force. The strongest and most terrible jackals are the leaders of the tribe, while the weak jackals will become the food of other people. This way of life means that the ordinary jackal clan is always in a state of tension - even if the leader shows some signs of weakness, it will lead to fighting and riots over clan control. This will also hinder the evolution of jackals for a long time, so that they can not cross the clan stage of social organization
When hungry, jackals eat their own kind.
Even if this kind of savage creature is moving towards the direction of intelligent species, it will not completely fade this primitive brutality for a while. It''s hard for them to get along with other creatures, whether they''re humans, elves, orcs
Lying on his back on the carpet of the tent, Murphy kept thinking about a problem!
Is it possible for jackals to work with orcs?
Material aid is one thing, but forming an alliance to share the results is another.
Jackals are cruel and greedy, orcs are furious and aggressive, so it is difficult to reconcile the contradiction between the two creatures. Unless there is some powerful force beyond the limit of ordinary things, such as gods, the possibility of their cooperation is really not high.
If the orcs would not cooperate with the jackals to attack the southern plains.
So does it mean that orcs who cross the nidoria River from the Loess Plateau may also fight with jackals?
What orcs covet is undoubtedly the fertile land of the southern plains!
It''s impossible for them to live in peace with jackals, a species that feeds on intelligent creatures. Even if they cooperate, it''s only for use and temporary.
But in order to make use of jackals, why don''t orcs wait for humans to completely defeat jackals and consume a lot of strength before they act? But when mankind is just ready for a major counter offensive?
What is the connection between them?
Murphy racked his brains and couldn''t figure out the problem.
If he is the chief of the orc, then he will never send troops at this time! Because it''s absolutely bad to cooperate with jackals, Murphy is more willing to wait for the jackals to be wiped out by human beings, and then launch an attack on the southern plains.
thus!
Only in this way can we gain the greatest advantage for ourselves.
Although the orcs are irascible and reckless, they are not without wisdom.
They must be sending troops now for something!
What is it?
The next day, early in the morning.
When Murphy came out of the tent, there was a cry outside the Canyon!
At about six o''clock in the morning, the retreating army of jackals launched an attack. In one night, they built three large shield cars with wooden boards nailed on the four sides, which is a modified version of the original car, more like a movable wooden box. The box can block the arrows coming from the front, the top, the left and the right. The Jackal hid in the box and pushed the shield car forward. He knocked down the horse all the way to the ditch.
The width of the trench was about one meter five, and the shield car had to stop in front of the trench.
By the time Murphy arrived, the trench was almost filled with jackals. More than 3000 adult male jackals attacked in batches. In less than half an hour, they used hundreds of corpses to advance to a distance of 50 meters in front of the fortification.
From the morning, the soldiers in the front line are no longer the Greek heavy infantry in Athens.
At Murphy''s signal, general riodari transferred 2000 silver shield eagle flag infantry to the front line. The spearmen sent by the human city-state, who used to be reserve soldiers, were arranged in the second line, ready to take over the silver shield eagle flag infantry.
After the distance is reduced to 30 meters.
The jackals, hiding in the wooden box, howled bitterly. It was obvious that they had stepped on the sharp wooden stick on the ground. The Jackal slowed down and there was a slight disturbance. The jackals, who followed behind the wooden box and slowly advanced with shields, fell to the ground again under the archer''s throwing. At this time, a powerful howl came from behind the Jackal. This seems to be some kind of order. The attacking jackals gave up the tortoise shell wooden box and charged towards the fortification with their shields!
The first group of jackals who stepped on the poison stick were stopped by Shengsheng, and then all fell under the archer''s arrow. However, the second group of jackals were obedient. Their boards were still on the ground, and then they walked on the bodies of their companions.
After paying hundreds of corpses again, the two sides finally entered a hand-to-hand battle.
It''s a fight without any fancy!
After the battle, the adult male jackals who charged in the front dropped their shields. As the vanguard, they didn''t carry heavy weapons, so they directly grabbed the bodies of their companions and smashed them at the silver shield eagle flag infantry who stood at the front line of the fortification! The first contact made both sides pay a great price, but the soldiers of the reserve team soon added up. On the battlefield of 200 meters between the canyon and the wall, the battle entered a stalemate!
A height of five meters is not too difficult for a jackal.
Some quick jackals climbed up the wall, but were soon assassinated by the gunmen on the wall!
Both sides enter the glue, the first line of human and jackal body began to pile up!
Spartan heavy infantry fanatics, appointed by general riodari as overseers, stand behind the wall.
"How long have you been attacking?" Murphy came to the front of the battle, silently watching the battlefield in front of him, and asked in a deep voice. Jackal this regardless of casualties is to take life to fill the play, a little bit out of his expectation.
In his understanding, where more than half of the battle casualties, those jackals have low morale.
But it has been nearly twenty minutes since he came to the battlefield.
There is no sign of weakness in the attack of the jackals. A large number of reserves rush up one after another, and the loss of the first line has exceeded 400 people. As the third reserve, the 800 Silver Shield eagle flag infantry also had to fight with the auxiliary long Gunners! If we continue to fight according to this offensive, I''m afraid that even Lady Elizabeth''s army will fight!
"It''s been an hour!" General riodari''s face was dignified. He pointed to those wolves who were extremely fierce and fearless today, and said in a deep voice: "governor! Their eyes are red
red?
Murphy smell speech a Leng, then carefully looked at those charging in front of the Jackal!
Sure enough!
The eyes of those jackals are really red! There is a faint blood red pupil!
"They should take advantage of something to enter a state of fanaticism that is not afraid of the pain of death!" General riodari pointed to an elite jackal who was still fighting with several arrows in his body and said seriously.
fanatical?
Jackal shaman?
After arriving at this time, Murphy found that the attendants of the gods, whether they were priests or shamans, seemed to have a kind of ability to let people into fanaticism and even fury. Soldiers in this state will have more courage to die, and even less sense of pain. Obviously, that''s what happened to the jackals in front of us.
"Go and invite the magicians." Murphy turned and spoke to the general''s bodyguard.
With that, he took a look at the silver shield eagle flag infantry, who were struggling to support under the attack of the jackals, and gave an order to general Marcus Kane: "put those 800 puccia mercenaries into battle!"
"Yes General Marcus Kane responded.
The magicians headed by Merlin soon came.
At the front is the man in the long gray cloak that Murphy has always been curious about. His pace is fast, dense, and seems to have a special rhythm.
"Your Excellency." The magician Merlin leaned slightly.
"The jackals have been attacking for more than an hour! The soldiers on the front line are very tired! If this continues, I am afraid the casualties will be very large. " Murphy was not interested in talking to them. He pointed to the jackals in the front line and said in a deep voice, "look at the eyes of these beasts!"
"It''s bloodthirsty!" The first person to speak was the thin figure in the long and narrow cloak. He frowned slightly and looked at the jackal in the distance. He said in a voice: "there is a jackal there, a shaman!"
With that, he gently grasped the slender white right hand on the hilt of the sword!
At this time, the magician Merlin suddenly stopped him. Merlin shook her head at the man, turned to look at Murphy, and said in a deep voice, "the human army has defeated the jackals on the front line! They will be able to come this afternoon at the latest! "
"Bloodlust won''t last long!"
Several mages looked at each other, and then came to the front of the front line together!
The low chant of incantation began to reverberate in the canyon, and the surge of air around it suddenly became rapid.
Murphy heard the roar of the wind, in the canyon, above the battle between the two armies.
A group of red clouds gradually formed, the air began to diffuse a heat!
The mages'' wands sparkled with red light, and a red cloud with a diameter of nearly 15 meters also formed over the Jackal army.
Fireballs the size of fists began to fall!
After these fireballs fell to the ground, they exploded, and the Jackal who attacked immediately was blown up. A man turned over his horse!
Just a minute or two.
Most of the jackals who attacked were killed and wounded, and the rest were demoralized.
"Is that the power of magic?" Murphy looked at the front line of the fire ball into the potholes of the land, not from the face shocked to see those who have finished casting mages.
He was stunned at this.
Because after casting this powerful magic, all the mages except the first mage Merlin fell to the ground.
Merlin, the only one standing, was also sweating and depressed, just barely supporting her body with a stick.
