Under the hazy moonlight, a team of fully alert soldiers marched towards a forest in large strides, numbering over a hundred. In the middle were two white-robed mages, beside them were ten bowmen holding longbows, and on the outermost circle were heavily armored infantry clad in black heavy armor.
"Bak, it's too quiet all around, something doesn't feel right!" A black-armored warrior looked around uneasily as they approached the forest, "Could it be that the Rus have set up an ambush in the woods?"
"Yeebilis, the Russians have already turned into turtles with their heads shrunk in, they don't even dare to come out and borrow a bear's gallbladder!" A soldier named Bak didn't think much of it, looking at his comrade with ill intentions, "Joseph, you're not usually a timid person, did you exhaust all your energy and courage on those little women last night?"
"Haha, that little girl is really something, her **is bigger than a rice bowl!"
"It's Joseph, spare this guy. Had a blast seven or eight times in one night, still shaking now, haha!"
……
During this time, the Russians had nothing to say and were much quieter. With their own people in the majority, the soldiers not only didn't care about Joseph's worries but also ridiculed him. As they talked, the topic was always about women and wine. Some said they could drink two barrels of mulled wine at one go, some said they could make a woman climax ten times in one night, the more they talked, the more absurd it became.
In the midst of loud laughter, the soldiers marched into the forest in big strides, completely unaware that the grass bushes or treetops beside the road had one more fist-sized hornet beast. No one even noticed that there was an unusual amount of fresh mud on the ground.
This small grove is located between the barracks and the town center, a long way from Tras Forest, with patrol teams passing by from time to time. No Russian dared to sneak in here.
Apart from the suspicious Joseph, no soldier thought there would be any danger, not even the patrol leader, who was preoccupied with the white-skinned women. During this time, ordinary households with slightly attractive women had all hidden them in Yang Ling's castle, fortunately, there were still some foreign prostitutes, otherwise, the soldiers would have suffocated long ago.
"Hmm, something's off, it's too quiet!"
Deep in the dark forest, a magician also felt something was wrong. Although it was winter, there were usually some insects and birds coming out to forage, but at this moment, except for the wind, there was no sound of any insects or birds chirping. It was really too abnormal.
Unlike the usual carefree Joseph, a magician's words carry weight. The patrol captain didn't dare to slack off. He immediately ordered the soldiers to form a defensive formation on the spot and lit the torches they carried with them.
The black-armored soldiers were well-trained and quickly formed a tight circular defense formation, surrounding the mages and archers tightly. As for the two alert mages, they even joined forces to cast a yellowish magical shield to guard against the enemy's sudden attack.
The soldiers reacted quickly, but unfortunately, it was too late!
After a loud roar, a pair of evil eyes emerged from behind the big tree. Before everyone could react, a dazzling strong light came towards them. Suddenly, their eyes felt sour and painful, as if they had rubbed in a handful of scorching hot sand.
"Oh no, my eyes!"
"Oh no......"
……
Without any defense, the soldiers on the outer circle covered their eyes and rolled around on the ground, even the loud scolding of the patrol leader was ineffective. Everyone was in a state of panic, the formation was in great disorder!
Under the command of the evil eye general, the evil eyes shot out a string of light bullets like rocket launchers. In the blink of an eye, they destroyed the magic shield cast by the opposing magician. At close range, the black heavy armor that the soldiers were proud of was not even worth mentioning, and in the blink of an eye, they were exposed helplessly like a group of naked girls in front of a large crowd of perverts.
As they saw the situation was getting out of hand, the surviving soldiers panicked and fled in all directions. However, they soon discovered that running as fast as they could would be of no avail.
Under the grass, on the treetops, under the fallen leaves...
Suddenly a fist-sized armadillo-like creature burst out, baring its sharp claws and pouncing on them like lightning, shooting out rows of unstoppable poisonous spines.
Before they knew it, many soldiers were stung by the poisonous hornets and fell to the ground in a state of paralysis, watching helplessly as the dense swarm of hornets drew closer. The forehead, face, and back of the head became the focus of attack, with the sound of tearing and biting echoing incessantly.
Some soldiers had one arm bitten off, some were bitten in half of their heads, and some were even swarmed by a group of hornets, leaving only a pool of blood in the blink of an eye. The surviving soldiers' legs went soft at the sight of the bloody scene, not to mention counterattacking, they could hardly stand still.
In the air, everywhere are low-flying Gyroscopes; on the ground, one by one, red-haired wolf spiders eerily emerge from underground, spitting out a drop of deadly venom like mouthfuls of water, surging forward in a tide.
******
At some point, the small forest was surrounded by a group of demonic beasts, and the soldiers soon discovered that there was no way to escape!
Seeing that the situation was already lost, the two magicians and the patrol captain did not dare to fight again, and under the cover of several soldiers, they fled in a hurry, trying to break through the encirclement.
However, just as they rushed to the exit of the forest, thinking that they would narrowly escape, several purple snake-shaped lightning bolts descended from the sky, and in an instant, they were electrocuted to a charred death.
Perfect ambush!
Under the joint attack of evil eyes, horned beasts and spider armies, the small patrol team was defeated!
Before long, the one-sided slaughter came to an end, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
Several barbarians dragged the soldiers' corpses to a deep pit that had been dug long ago, filled with soil and then pressed several giant stones on top. They transplanted some low shrubs and Mass grass that could be seen everywhere. Finally, Yang Ling performed a spiritual technique, allowing the shrubs and Mass grass to take root quickly, making it seamless.
A few days ago, while exploring the secrets of the Elf Tree saplings, Yang Ling inadvertently discovered that by casting Soul Linking Spell and infusing his body's life energy into the trunk of the Elf Tree sapling, he could greatly accelerate its growth.
In just a few short days, the sprite sapling grew from one person tall to over five meters high. After repeated trials, he found that the green life energy had the same effect on other plants, which was incredibly wonderful.
Yang Ling put away the horned beast, evil eye and spider etc. magical beasts, Gu De stepped out silently. After a low murmur, suddenly wind and rain came together, dispersing the bloody smell in the air and washing away the bloodstains on the ground cleanly.
"Heh heh, let's go find the next batch of unlucky ones!"
After confirming that all traces had been cleared, Yang Ling smiled coldly and led the crowd away quickly.
When many black armored soldiers rushed to the scene, except for a patch of water marks, no clues could be found. An entire hundred-man patrol team had vanished into thin air.
Yang Ling's sneak attack was like a ghost, leaving no trace; at the same time, the Rong people's counterattack was extremely fierce, making the patrolling Hei Jiajun nervous.
After witnessing the power of the heavy crossbow, Genoa was overjoyed and immediately agreed to Yang Ling's request for 1.5 million purple crystal coins. As long as he could recreate Stov's Black Armor Army and disrupt the strategic plan of the Bantu Empire, it would be worth it, even if it cost 15 million purple crystal coins.
The mighty trebuchets, combined with the fearless Ros warriors, quickly inflicted heavy casualties on Stoff's patrol. In just three days, they lost nearly seven hundred men, and with the wounded warriors, Stoff was left with only about two thousand soldiers. The Ros people had only about a hundred casualties, and compared to the heavily damaged Bantu people, the results were brilliant.
Within twenty or thirty meters, the Bantu warriors were powerless even with their heavy black armor, unable to withstand the deadly crossbow bolts that rained down like a summons from the god of death. Helpless, Stoff was forced to retreat once again.
Apart from going to Shangri-La to flirt with Merile, he stayed in the barracks all day. The soldiers no longer dared to go door-to-door collecting taxes, fearing that they would be ambushed by the Russians at any moment.
To gain the greatest benefit, on Haier Beili's suggestion, Yang Ling not only launched a surprise attack on Sutorof's troops but also disguised himself as a Bantumen to launch a surprise attack on the Russians.
The Russians, no matter how careful they were in hiding, could hardly escape the keen senses of the horned beast. In front of his magical army, the Russians who were caught off guard had no power to fight back, and more than a hundred people died, most of whom died at his hands.
After several troops were completely defeated, Genoa mistakenly thought that the Bantu people had brought in a batch of masters and no longer dared to attack recklessly. As the weather got colder and the Bantu reinforcements got closer, they became more and more tense, pinning all their hopes on Yang Ling. Every day, they sent someone to urge Yang Ling to personally lead the army to defeat Stoff's shrinking forces, promising a rich reward.
At the same time, facing the long-awaited reinforcements, facing the Russian crazy attack and Yang Ling's defenseless black hand, Stov was also worried. No warm winter clothes, no enough food and grass, no enough pastors and medicine..., had to find Yang Ling for help again and again.
In this way, under the suggestion of Hai'er Beili, Yang Ling was able to gain the upper hand. Not only did he strike at Stov's power, but also greatly consumed the strength of the Ruo people, laying a solid foundation for his solo control over Weisen Town. Of course, after the prices of grain and medicine rose several times, even tenfold or more, he earned a large amount of crystal coins.
Everything is ready, only waiting for the east wind!
The Bantu and Ross people were worried, while Yang Ling saw the hope of a must-win. As long as the timing was right, he could lead the army to attack in person and thoroughly grasp Weisen Town in his hands.
