(this is the second watch. There''s another one in the evening. (please remember)
------------------------------------------
Today''s sky is a little dark, with gray clouds over people''s heads. Since it was occupied by the abyss demons, there have been only a few rainstorms every year. Other times, it is dry, so the cracked land can be seen everywhere. This is because the abyss demons have made evil sacrifices on the earth. If the whole sacrifice ceremony is completed one day, the land here will become hot and dark red, and may even crack and flow magma.
Green breath of life in this land has been gradually deprived, but some strange vegetation still exists in this land.
They are all plants from the abyss, with dark red and dark purple colors. Most of them are moss, stems and mushrooms. The life form of demons is different from other intelligent creatures. They can rely on soul energy to maintain their existence. Therefore, medium and high-level demons often do not need food. More often, they will find something to eat when they are free, rather than having to eat every day as other creatures do.
Small demons and inferior demons do not belong to this case. Their status in the abyss is like the pigs and beasts raised by human beings.
………………
"Monsieur Murphy! There is a demon team in front of us. The leader is a crazy warlord The halfling stealthily sneaks back and says respectfully to Murphy.
The types of abyss demons are extremely chaotic. Their lineages are not only very complex, but also have various variations in the process of evolution. This leads to a result, that is, many demons have changed their appearance into the shape of demons, that is, non-human monsters. Even in this plane, human beings have been fighting with them for so long, there is no way to distinguish all the demons.
Because every day they have a new breed born, a kind of chaotic hybrid monster.
It is said that there are 49 clans of demons. Most of the demons and demons are born from the cross between these 49 clans. But fortunately, the demons follow a rule, that is, the more powerful the demons are, the more regular they will grow, so that they will not grow into an indescribable deformity. Generally speaking, among the middle and high-level demons, there are more humanoids.
For example, the fallen devil, the dark devil, the unicorn devil, the sickle devil, the enchantment devil, the enchantment devil, the flo devil, the Barlow devil and so on, all of these demons still maintain a human like appearance. Baidu search quickly enter the site without pop-up ads
"Crazy war devil? What about the Heavy Crossbow I asked you to bring? " Murphy asked with a slight frown.
Berserker is a tall, nearly 15 foot demon species. It looks a bit like ogres, but it is fatter and uglier than ogres. To deal with such demons, it''s not the best plan to fight hand to hand. The simplest way is to shoot them with heavy weapons. There are not many kinds of intelligent demons. Most of them have only low-level intelligence. However, after advanced to high-level demons, their intelligence level will be significantly improved.
"Here''s the crossbow!" A strong Orc raised his hand and replied.
Murphy nodded and gave the order to the halfling scouts in front of him: "you are responsible for attracting his attention and fighting for time for others to kill him later. I will let other people cooperate with you, and the rest of the little devil will be in the charge of gray fox. "
Speaking of this, Murphy turned his eyes to the gray fox leader on one side, and said, "you shoot with your crossbow first. After killing this team of demons, we will continue on the road."
"Yes! Sir
"Yes! Mr. Murphy
Hearing Murphy''s life, all the mercenaries around him answered.
Although the adult who hired them looks very young, the tactical formulation is much better than those second-class goods. You can see from a glance that he has received formal military education. During this period of time, Murphy has been trying to train them according to the standards of elite troops. In large-scale teamwork, they have grown up greatly, and there have been no casualties in several battles, so they are very convinced of Murphy now.
Since leaving that town, Murphy will find a chance to eat as long as he meets a small army of demons!
The purpose is not to gain any booty, but to run in the fighting cooperation of these Aboriginal mercenaries. The Athenian army went to the battlefield after months of training and cooperation, but these people were basically recruited on a temporary basis. Although their combat effectiveness is not bad, they still need a certain amount of time to cooperate with each other. What Murphy needs is not their small-scale and small team fighting style, but their combat cooperation as a whole.
"There is no way to measure it by the standards of the army. Let them learn how to adapt to team fighting first." Murphy can only comfort himself at the moment.
These two days.
In the fight against demons, Murphy found that if there were no demons with higher intelligence, such as diabolics and witches, then these demons could follow several laws of playing games in previous lives.
For example, it can lead to strange things!
you ''re right!
It''s just a strange thing.
Small groups of people disguise themselves as adventurers'' teams with about five or six people acting alone. After encountering those demon teams, they will immediately attract them to come whistling. Demons are also greedy, afraid of death and bullying. When they find that the number of enemies is small and can be easily eaten, they will rush in immediately. The rest is needless to say. Almost none of the demons in the siege can leave alive.
If the demons encounter a large group of enemies, the number is more than their own side, it is likely that the demons will flee, and then gather a small group of demons nearby to come back to find a place.
A heavy rumble of footsteps sounded.
Not far away, there was a slightly flustered figure of the scouting team, and behind them was a stout crazy war demon and hundreds of small demons.
"Close the net!" Murphy took a look and said in a deep voice.
There was no challenge for him in such a fight, just to train these Aboriginal mercenaries.
With Murphy''s order, after entering the steep slope, a team of bowmen appeared on both sides, and a little bit of chaos appeared among the demons who were surrounded in turn.
The first wave of arrow rain came, and the little demons fell down in pieces.
Murphy has equipped some mercenaries with crossbows and bows. It may be difficult to deal with medium level demons, but shooting these demons is still like playing.
After three waves of arrow rain shooting alternately.
The strong Orc soldiers took up the heavy shield and walked ahead. They were equipped with leather armor and one handed sword, which was the configuration of half heavy infantry. Behind them are swift Rangers, who are very common among mercenaries. They are equipped with crossbows and swords. Their task is to hide behind and find opportunities to assassinate the enemy. Murphy had plans in mind when recruiting people, and even deliberately recruited dozens of ORC mercenaries.
A team of 300.
The configuration is reduced according to the standard of small-scale legions. There are 50 sword and shield soldiers, 100 long swordsmen (equipped with crossbow), 100 standard infantry (equipped with hard bow), and the last 50 people are people with special abilities. Their combat effectiveness is not outstanding. As for the gray fox mercenary regiment, their manpower is OK. Unfortunately, their equipment and combat effectiveness are not as good as those temporarily recruited by Murphy. They can only be used as auxiliary infantry.
Although these people didn''t cooperate very well, it was Murphy who took the money to smash it out, and there were more or less two brushes in his hand.
The battle was soon over.
After the Heavy Crossbow pierced the ugly head of the mad warlord, the lower demons broke up. The rest of the fight was meaningless, but because Murphy had given death orders before, none of them could be let go, so the mercenaries had to divide up a team to get rid of those who had missed the net.
"Count the casualties!" Murphy looked left and right and ordered.
Soon.
The results were counted.
A crazy war demon, a horn demon, a demon hunting spider, more than 300 low-level demons, plus more than 50 low-level demons.
Eighteen of them died and more than 40 others were injured.
Eight hundred well-equipped soldiers deal with small demons of about 400 people, most of which are low-level demons. Murphy is not very satisfied with such casualties.
But the mercenaries were very excited.
As if realizing that Murphy''s face was not very good, the gray fox leader whispered: "the main reason is that the one horned devil suddenly summoned a demon hunting spider when he was dying, otherwise there would be only 11 casualties."
Murphy nodded and said nothing.
It''s good for them to learn teamwork first. They can''t be forced to deal with emergencies on the battlefield.
"If you are not quick, you will not be happy!" Murphy looked at the mercenaries cleaning the battlefield and said silently, "we can only seize the opportunity to train on the road. Try to let them run in a little more, otherwise they may not be able to hold on even if they have laid a foundation for the town! "
A small and medium-sized town, under normal circumstances, may occupy between 1000 to 2000 demons, although the number of medium level demons will not be too much.
However, Murphy could not be completely relieved by the fact that there were casualties against three or four hundred demons.
"It seems that we can only delay for a while until the chief priests of the God of war come back." Murphy thought about it and thought it should be safe.
After all, these mercenaries are not the Athenian army. The Athenian army may be able to fight a single soldier with him, but these Aboriginal mercenaries are not like this. If the war situation is really at a disadvantage, these people will leave him and run away.
In the age of cold weapons, there is a bottom line to bear the casualty rate.
