Chapter 261 260. Ranger

  Without too much time to think about the content of the task, Lu Zing raised the crossbow arrow with one hand, and the [last words] appeared in the other hand at the same time.

  嘭——

  Before Lu Zan pulled the trigger, the gray wolf hit an invisible and transparent barrier.

  Boom boom boom——

   Lu Yi saw that several similar monsters had hit this barrier. They tried to break through, but couldn't move forward.

   swish swish swish——

  The next moment, the crossbow arrow shot out.

  Sparse but deadly arrows plunged into the bodies of these monsters. On the eyes and fur, the black blood fell to the ground, melting the snow, and emitting a cold stench.

  Lu Jie noticed that the reason why the crossbow arrows are sparse is because they are divided into three groups.

  The three groups of people are scattered, and only one-third of them shoot arrows at a time. When the volley is over, the second group of people will add, and those who have just completed the firing will start to reload the crossbow arrows.

  Very classic medium-range weapon tactics.

  However, Lu Zie didn't know exactly which round he was in. After seeing the three volleys, the monsters were about to retreat.

  Next, he heard a noise coming from behind him, turned his head and took a look, it was several people wearing heavy armor and cloaks.

  Just now, Lu Zin, who thought this dress was a bit familiar, remembered that this was Xia's costume.

  They are mages.

  The moment I realized this, the invisible shock wave spread from the hands of the mages.

In an instant, those monsters that had not fallen down seemed to be hit by a cannonball head-on. They collapsed and split from the tip of their noses, and their flesh and blood formed a clear columnar cavity. Those hideous bodies were thrown onto the surrounding tree trunks, and blood dripped. .

  Finally is to clean the battlefield.

  People in groups of three, make up for all the monsters that fell on the ground, and pierce the bodies of those monsters with spears, repeat three times until they are completely dead.

  Lu Zin got up from the snow and saw the person next to him patted the snow on his cloak.

   "Look, I said, there is nothing dangerous."

  He looks much younger than Lu Zie, maybe only sixteen or seventeen years old, with a green face and a little childishness, but his posture holding a crossbow arrow is quite standard.

   "Birmingham, come and help."

  Behind him, another older person called, and the boy followed.

  It turns out that his name is Birmingham.

  Lu Yi is generally used to the fact that the names of the people in the Kingdom of Night are biased towards the West, and there are some Eastern styles, but they may all be located in remote areas, at least Grey Tower and Black Tower, it should be that the names and customs of this style are more extensive.

  Looking around, monster corpses are everywhere, and there is a deep gap in the trees that can block the sun. Only the crystals held by some people emit light to illuminate this area.

  "After packing up, we will load the truck and we will return to the fortress."

Said a mage headed by   .

  The horses were pulling the cart. The carts were filled with the corpses of those monsters. Although they were ferocious, it seemed that the flesh and blood of the monsters were an important source of food. Lu Zan followed Birmingham and listened to him chattering.

   "I said that hunting is not dangerous under normal circumstances, and our tactics are perfect. Even if we encounter a sneak attack, there will be no trouble."

  He pointed to the front team.

The cargo is located in the center. Outward are crossbowmen like Lu Zin and Birmingham. On the outer circle are infantrymen with spears and light armor. The mages are interspersed in the team on horseback, and the commander walks in the lead of the team while riding horses. , The light and flexible scouts were scattered in the woodland, guarding the surroundings on three levels.

  In this case, even if a monster attacks the outermost scouts, the middle scouts can pass the information back and prepare the team for battle.

  This does not include the detection techniques used by the wizards uninterruptedly. Lu Zie has seen Xia's spells, and at least he can guarantee that there is no enemy within 100 meters. Under such a tight intelligence network, it is indeed not easy to be attacked and destroyed.

  Lu Yi briefly chatted with Birmingham on the road and found out the current situation.

  This is a military organization called Rangers, which is affiliated to the Black Tower and is dedicated to defending the Black Forest. Lu Zan is in the sentry unit belonging to the Black Forest, the largest fortress in the Black Forest.

The composition of the ranger is very mixed. The children of the mage family who were born in the gray tower but did not know the magic, and the poor families who were too low to eat, as long as they join the ranger, they can get the most basic food and clothes, but the same. , But also to receive training, stand on the front line of stationed in the Black Forest.

  As for the mages, they were the entourage mages sent by the Grey Tower to garrison the fortress. According to Lu Yi’s observations, their army of about fifty people would be equipped with three mages, and it was not clear whether this was more or less.

  Even the rangers themselves seem to be differentiated.

  The scouts are equipped with horses. Most of them are trained children who have mastered some unique fighting skills.

Most of the infantrymen came from poor families, equipped with spears, axes, and warhammers. They also wore leather armor to prevent scratches.

Crossbowmen were born out of infantry and were promoted with better performance, or they had learned crossbow arrows before, and were equipped with daggers. Some crossbowmen also have tracer arrows that can illuminate an area, towering in ancient trees and shielding the sun. In the Black Forest, their role is crucial.

  The commander wears mail, riding a horse, and saber. He looks thirty or forty years old, with sharp eyes.

  The three wizards are not considered old, they may be one or two years older than Lu Zie. What is curious is that the armors on these wizards are the heaviest, just like those knights in the Middle Ages.

  "Hey Pine Town is in front. The people in the town are very nice. We can take a break there."

  Birmingham is very cheerful, always introducing some.

  It seems that in his cognition, Lu Zie is a recruit, and Birmingham is Lu Zie's eldest brother.

   "Don't worry, I am here, no one can bully you, you call me big brother, I will cover you."

  Birmingham patted Lu Zan on the shoulder.

   "Big Brother."

  Lu Zie yelled, the young man who was younger than Lu Zie was very proud.

   "Follow me in the future and have soup and meat."

  Birmingham straightened his chest.

   "You are still someone else's eldest brother, just your head, be careful not to be taken away by Winter Wolf."

  Aside, someone teased.

  "Go aside, don't corrupt my image in front of my little brother."

  Birmingham rolled his eyes.

  It looks like his little brother is Lu Zin alone.

   But it doesn’t matter.

Lu Yi felt the cold winter in the Black Forest. This cold was not a magical attack from the south, nor a physical attack from the north, but a kind of cold that was frozen from the mind to the body, and even the mind became stagnant. It was difficult. I don't think there is an extraordinary power in this.

  The dark forest looks the same, and even the road is covered with snow. If the commander didn’t know the road, I’m afraid the whole team would be lost in this unchanging scenery.

   Just when Lu Yi was curious about how long he would have to walk like this, the dark forest suddenly lit up in front of him.

   A large open space appeared in front of him, and Lu Zie saw that it was a small town.
