Chapter 226 Hobgoblin
Chapter 226 Hobgoblin
"An imperial caravan?"
Sun Feng frowned.
"Sun Lang, Tamur Khan's marching route passed through the Death Pass. They must have chosen to pass through Langye because of this..." Shangguan Yue was not only a powerful mage accompanying the army, but also the person responsible for collecting and processing intelligence.
There are three trade routes.
One is to go from the Longfang Road to the Howling Wastes, and then through Death Pass to the South Kingdom.
The second option is to go directly by water, taking a boat from Hanyu Port all the way to Tirell.
The third is the path they are taking now.
Because of Tamer Khan's advance, the first trade route was basically abandoned.
The water route takes a long time and is prone to encountering Sartosa pirates. It is a route only for caravans that like to gamble on their luck.
Therefore, most caravans would choose to take this route through the Wolf Wilderness.
However, this news is not only known by the caravan, the Chaos Dwarves who are waiting for an opportunity will not miss such a good opportunity.
You can both rob supplies and replenish slaves, so why not do it?
really.
Not for a while.
The scouts brought even worse news.
"Lord Sun, we found fresh war wolf droppings. It seems they haven't gone far yet!"
"Call back the scouts immediately! Find a place with advantageous terrain!" Sun Feng thought for a moment and immediately gave the order, "Niu Ben, Zhao Qiang, have the soldiers put on their armor. Don't worry about saving effort, be ready for a fight at any time!"
"Yes!" Niu Ben and Zhao Qiang looked serious and took action immediately.
"Fang Fei, you deploy the crossbowmen at the rear of the convoy. Bian Yong, you lead the muskets to guard both sides of the convoy!"
"Yes!" Fang Fei and Bian Yong looked at each other and ran towards their respective men.
"Should we notify Basok and Sorik?" Shangguan Yue asked.
Sun Feng shook his head: "Not yet. It's not time for a head-on confrontation yet."
The intensive personnel transfers created a tense atmosphere throughout the caravan.
Liu Li and Gao Fei came over after hearing the news.
"Brother Sun, what's wrong?"
"Your Highness, we have discovered traces of the Hobgoblin Wolf Cavalry. They may have a large force nearby."
Sun Feng did not hide anything, but told the current situation truthfully.
"If necessary, we can take action at any time!" Felix was eager to try.
"Me too, you can arrange it directly." Liu Li nodded.
Although his system was shut down, he was not without any combat capability.
The Battle of Chilei ends.
Miaoying absorbed the soul fragments in the black and white pendant, and he transcended the rules of this world and almost reached the edge of becoming a god.
Although Miaoying did not elaborate, he should have reached the threshold of becoming a god.
This is a dimensionality reduction attack from the real world. Even soul fragments can affect the rules of the world.
Miaoying, who has stepped into the threshold of becoming a god, naturally has far greater power than before.
At this moment, Liu Li was still wearing the black and white pendant, but the soul fragments inside had been replaced by purer thunder power.
It can be said that Liu Li is Miaoying’s pseudo-god choice at this moment.
"Your Highness, please don't take action unless it's absolutely necessary." Shangguan Yue warned.
They did not doubt Liu Li's strength, but hoped to keep Liu Li as a trump card as long as possible.
"Yeah." Liu Li didn't refuse and asked Sun Feng, "So what's the situation now?"
Sun Feng said seriously, "I suspect our whereabouts have been discovered. We must quickly find a suitable location to engage the enemy."
Just at this time.
The scout rode his horse at full speed and came to the crowd.
"Master Sun, we've found the location!"
"where?"
"Five miles to the west, there's a semi-concave hillside that's big enough to shelter our caravan!"
"Okay, let's go now!"
The advantageous position has been found, and with Sun Feng's order, everyone began to move in an orderly manner.
But the enemy in the dark obviously won't let them get away so easily.
Hundreds of earth wolf cavalrymen rushed out rapidly from out of sight, as if they had been lying in ambush here for a long time.
"Can't the wolf cubs wait?" Bian Yong sneered, "Aim your muskets at them, ready to shoot!"
This group of earth elves were probably afraid that they would move to a more advantageous terrain, so they lost their patience and rushed out to hold them back.
However, this also just confirmed Sun Feng's guess that the large group of dwarfs was nearby.
The wolf cavalry moved as fast as the wind in the wilderness and arrived in front of them in the blink of an eye.
They were not afraid of the musket in Yu Yong's hand.
A few hours ago, they intercepted a caravan, and they also carried muskets.
However, faced with the sudden appearance of the wolf cavalry, they had no time to react.
Even if you fire a shot, your accuracy won't be able to keep up with the speed of the War Wolf.
So when this group of wolf cavalry saw Sun Feng and others start to move, they rushed out without thinking.
But this time they picked the wrong opponent.
"Fire!"
Seeing that the opponent had entered the shooting range, Bian Yong immediately swung his hand down heavily.
bang bang bang-
Dozens of eagle guns fired continuously, instantly forming a continuous rain of bullets that ruthlessly covered the group of earth elves.
These Jade Warriors wear half-body armor, which ensures lightness while providing a certain degree of defense.
Each of them is a top-notch marksman and is adept at this kind of encounter.
The first wave of shots barely missed.
Before the hobgoblins could recover from their shock, a second wave of shooting followed.
Then came the third wave...
Within ten seconds.
Three waves of bullets directly dealt heavy damage to the earth goblins, reducing their numbers by at least half.
Seeing that this caravan was not to be trifled with, the surviving earth elves quickly turned around and kept their distance, watching from afar.
"Speed up! Their main force shouldn't be far away!"
Seeing that the earth goblin was timid, Sun Feng immediately urged everyone to speed up.
"They're coming!"
Gotrek, who had been frowning, suddenly spoke.
He flexed his wrist that was holding the axe and jumped off the carriage.
In the direction he was facing, a billowing black smoke rushed into the sky.
"That is……"
"Azog's Legion's slave-hunting team..."
"They came on a steam train..."
On the wasteland.
Steam machines resembling trains are connected together, loaded with various Chaos Dwarf and Orc laborers.
And there are three such trains.
A rough estimate is that the number of passengers on the three trains may be in the thousands.
As for other mobile forces, they may not have fully appeared yet.
"At this rate, we might not make it to that hill!"
Seeing the steam train coming, Shangguan Yue was horrified.
Once caught up by these steam trains, they would not be able to resist with their flesh and blood.
"Niu Ben, prepare the alchemical bomb and find an opportunity to blow up the enemy's steam train."
Sun Feng also saw the seriousness of the situation and responded immediately.
But someone got there first.
"You shameless traitors! I will chop you into pieces with my rune axe!"
