Chapter 354 Facing the Lizardmen
Everyone was stunned by the underground creature that suddenly appeared a few hundred meters away.
They... no, it seems to be them. Although they stand on two feet and have their hands free like the intelligent creatures on the surface, their bodies are covered with dense scales, and their degraded vertical pupils reflect a faint luster in the dark environment.
Their legs are anti-jointed, and they also rely on their tails to support their bodies. Unlike the orcs of the Renne Empire, they are closer to animals than to the broad definition of intelligent creatures such as "humans."
Fiona exclaimed, "Lizard Man!"
Tang En was stunned: "Do you know them?"
"There are corresponding records in some legends about the underground world."
Fiona whispered: "They are cold-blooded creatures. Some scholars believe that they are failed creations of the dark god system, but other scholars believe that they, like dwarf goblins, are the result of natural evolution and are native half-orcs in a transitional period... "
"Don't say that."
Tang En interrupted Fiona: "Just tell me whether they can communicate and whether they are intelligent."
Tang En was obviously more concerned about whether these lizardmen could communicate than their origins, because Tang En had seen them wearing armor and holding weapons - those things were obviously brought in by adventurers from the surface world.
"This...according to records, these lizard people seem..."
Before Fiona could finish speaking, Tang En interrupted her again: "Okay, no more."
Because when the lizard men saw them, they immediately drew their weapons.
"(Lizard Man Language) Hiss...food...a lot..."
"Food... tastes better than mushrooms..."
"Kill them...for food..."
Thanks to the golden thigh plug-in given by the goddess, in this world, Tang En no longer has to study all kinds of foreign languages. He can clearly understand the conversations between lizard people. The intermittent words are not a problem of his understanding, but a problem of understanding. Because the lizard people only have so much wisdom.
Not unlike the dwarves' old enemies, the cavemen.
"Lord Lord?"
Encountering a strange enemy, Locke became a little nervous. He held the hilt of his sword tightly and asked Tang En what he meant.
Is it a fight? Or run away?
Then, Locke drew his sword directly and did not need Tang En to answer.
Because the lizard men have already charged them!
They let out weird shouts one after another, and rushed over while running and jumping!
Locke yelled: "Kill them!"
"oh!!!"
Their anti-joint legs are very advantageous when launching a fast charge. It is unwise to directly confront them. Uncle Depp immediately formulated a response plan.
Uncle Depp raised the tower shield and slammed it on the ground. He was stuck behind the shield and shouted: "Shield Warrior, defensive formation! Come forward and lower the shield to welcome the reunion! Ranger team, Danny is preparing to guide arrows, two rounds Rapid-fire suppressive fire! Soldiers, prepare to counterattack after the suppressive fire is over! Tear apart their formations - Elsa, feel free to play!"
"clear!"
Ellington's warriors roared, their blood boiling.
Unlike the shadow lurkers just now, lizards and humans are not much different in size. They are more like evenly matched opponents. This kind of fighting is the battlefield that warriors yearn for.
"Talent—Eagle Eye Technique is activated!"
Danny's eyes suddenly became sharp. He bent his bow and nocked an arrow, and suddenly a violent whirlwind appeared on the arrow. He shouted: "The guide arrow is ready, the ranger team is ready to fire the first round!"
The ranger team quickly cocked their arrows and pointed them upward.
Power exploded under his feet, Danny jumped up, and then the ready-to-fire guide arrow in his hand locked the center of the lizard-men formation, and fired it instantly with a roar: "Shoot!"
Guide the arrow to pull out a dazzling beam of light, flying towards the lizard man with strong wind!
"Boom boom boom" - the other people's bow strings were loosened, and a dense rain of arrows flew into the sky. Then under the influence of Danny's guide arrow, the arrow rain changed its direction, chasing the guide arrow and flying towards the lizard man's team. .
The well-made sharp arrows easily tore through the armor snatched by the lizardmen and penetrated the scales on their bodies. There was a hissing sound in front of them, but the rain of arrows did not stop them from stopping their charge, even if their bodies were covered with wounds. After missing the arrow, they still continued to charge.
Even though some lizardmen had shields in their hands, they had no intention of raising their shields to resist the rain of arrows. They just rushed towards this direction.
After the second round of arrow rain fell, a dozen lizardmen had fallen on the road, but the remaining ones could not see any decrease in their numbers.
"Prepare for impact—"
As soon as Uncle Depp finished speaking, the lizard men's charge had arrived!
"Boom boom boom boom——"
The weapon struck the shield, and the huge force was transmitted from the shield to the ground, even making the entire cave tremble.
The shield warrior group led by Uncle Depp resisted the tower shield with all their might. Even if their feet kept sliding back due to the impact of the lizard men, they still maintained their formation.
"Bang!"
The lizard men holding shields saw that their weapons couldn't be broken, so they angrily raised their heavy shields and smashed them hard!
The shield warrior's body flashed with red light, and even though he activated his blood energy, he was still thrown away by the huge force.
Locke was shocked: "What a strength!"
These lizardmen live in a cruel underground world, and their physical fitness is much stronger than that of Ellington's warriors.
"Hiss——"
There was a gap in the defense line, and the lizardmen rushed towards the gap with hissing, attacking with all their strength. The pressure on the two shield warriors on both sides of the gap suddenly increased.
"Whoosh"
Locke originally planned to rush over to help, but an arrow suddenly flew under his arm. The sharp arrowhead made of fine steel easily penetrated the scales and plunged straight into the lizard man's head.
Locke was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat: "Danny! You bastard, be careful!"
Danny jumped onto a mushroom, shot three arrows with his backhand, and said casually: "I'm paying attention!"
Although with Danny's help, the pressure on the gap was much lessened, the shield warriors had no time to shrink their formation. Several lizardmen had already rushed in and started fighting with the warriors at close range, making it impossible for them to organize themselves. Countercharge.
"let me!"
Hearing a scream, Elsa put away her giant sword, grabbed the tower shield that fell beside her, and rushed forward like a chariot: "Get out of my way!"
When Ellington's soldiers heard Elsa's voice, their expressions suddenly changed and they hurriedly got out of the way.
"Dong dong dong——"
All the lizardmen who stood in front of Elsa were knocked away by her. Then she rushed out of the gap without stopping and rushed directly into the lizardmen's team.
Uncle Depp originally wanted to organize the Shield Warriors to shrink the defense line, but after seeing Elsa attracting the lizard man's attention, he immediately changed his mind: "Shield Warriors, raise your shield! Shield charge! Warrior team, prepare for the second round of charge. !”
The shield warriors pulled up their tower shields one by one, and with Uncle Depp as the core, they roared and launched a shield charge under the shouts of inspiring morale!
The huge tower shield hit the lizard men hard, and with the huge impact, it also caused them to fall into a brief dazed state. Then the shield warriors raised their auxiliary weapons, either short swords or short swords. Spears, or daggers, struck back hard at the lizardfolk.
However, the scales on the lizardmen are very hard, just like the new fish scale armor worn by the warriors, which can very effectively disperse the force of the blow. Short blades without the added power of blood cannot even break through their defenses. They can only Barely giving them some harassing attacks.
"withdraw!"
As soon as the lizard man recovered from his dizzy state, Uncle Depp retreated with the shield warriors, and then what rushed out from them was the main force of the battle, the warrior professionals!
Warrior is a very broad concept. Shield warriors who are good at using tower shields to fight, berserkers who are good at dual-wielding two-handed weapons and have infinite strength, tomahawk fighters who are good at using battle axes and slashing combat skills, and good at using hammering systems. Warhammer wielders with combat skills, swordsmen who are good at using one-handed swords, sword fighters who dual-wield one-handed swords, and epee wielders who are good at using two-handed swords, etc., they are all warrior professions, although each of their professions There are detailed professional titles, but the people of Purandar are always accustomed to calling them warriors in general.
There is no way, who told them that their awakened talents are actually very different?
The biggest difference between them is the weapons they specialize in and the armor they choose to match the weapons. Therefore, many times, the adventurer team will generally divide the warriors into one team.
However, the Ellington Guards are basically just ordinary warriors, and they have not yet refined the weapons they are good at - or in other words, because of the iron-cutting sword made by Tang En, they all tend to develop into swordsmen.
The warriors who charged with various weapons used the huge impact force to pierce the weapons filled with blood and energy into the lizard man's limbs. During the charge, the best sword weapon was obviously the thrust. , rather than chopping.
The carefully designed bleeding groove on the Zantetsu Sword will cause tearing wounds and make the wounds extremely difficult to heal. It can be called a great killing weapon.
Not only that, some warriors who performed well also received constant spell rewards. After their weapons penetrated the lizard man's body, they took the opportunity to activate the constant spell - "Explode! Crush! - Pyroblast" !”
"Let this hurricane tear your body apart - cyclone!"
"Give you a funeral of ice - Frost Nova!"
Listening to these slogans full of Zhong Er atmosphere, Tang En showed a strange smile. Once upon a time, he also imagined shouting and releasing spells like this? Now that he had given them this opportunity and saw them shouting all kinds of shameful slogans with enthusiastic faces, Tang En's bad taste was once again satisfied.
However, due to the varying strengths of the warriors, some of the attacks failed to break through the lizard man's defense. Instead, the opponent seized the opportunity and struck back fiercely.
As a result, the two sides were in close contact for only a moment, and wounded people began to appear on Ellington's side.
