Half Elf Ranger

Chapter 41 Planting the Flag

In the deep night, the quiet village was accompanied by the sound of heavy horns and sirens.

The combat professionals who were resting in the room picked up their weapons and equipment one after another, and came out in an orderly manner.

Groups of bright torches instantly dispelled the shadows that shrouded Talan Village.

Ow!Ow!
The gradually clear howling of wolves in the distance continued to reach the ears of every player from the depths of the woods.

The howls of wolves fluctuated with each other, from far to near, it was a bit piercing.

However, these players who survived from the ruins of Yuanshan Town did not show any fear or panic on their faces.

Under the bright firelight.

There are prominent blue veins on the back of their hands holding weapons tightly and angry eyes full of deep hatred.

The most dangerous humanoids in the Emerald Fields are the tribe of gnolls from the Great Swordscar Mountains.

Because of the special care of the demon lord Yeenogu, these evil gnolls completely crushed all races in number and strength.

Their danger lies in the randomness of their attacks, appearing from the wilderness, looting and killing, and then moving elsewhere soon.

It attacked like a plague of locusts and sacked the settlements, leaving only flattened buildings, gnawed corpses, and polluted land.

Gnolls like to choose weak targets to plunder, and they will frantically attack the surrounding towns, villages, and farms from time to time.

Then the captured villages and towns will be burned to the ground, and all the people inside will be slaughtered and devoured.

These evil creatures have destroyed their homes, leaving them a homeless bunch.

Their newly added pain has not been healed, and their residence has not yet been determined, and the attack of the wolf man is coming again!

"Gen, raise the battle flag of our Yuanshan Town!" Gerst's slender body quickly walked out of the house, glanced into the depths of the woods, and immediately ordered the players behind him.

Surrounding Taran is a village surrounded by sinister forests and rugged cliffs.

While it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it also means that as long as the only exit is blocked, the group of fleeing players cannot safely evacuate.

This battle is inevitable tonight!
Hearing this, a well-built player hurried over carrying a heavy metal flagpole. The flagpole made of pure metal was about four meters high, and on the top was a blood-stained and slightly old square flag.

Under the light of bright torches, the clearly visible pattern of clashing swords and a majestic mountain on the flag can be seen.

bump!
The heavy flagpole was firmly embedded in the ground, and the bloody flag fluttered in the wind, making a loud noise.

Plant the flag!

In the era of ancient online games, it means a one-on-one duel between two parties.

But here, it means: the flag is in the people, the flag is down and the people are dead!
This is a desperate counterattack after being cornered.

The blood-stained flag is the spiritual symbol of Yuanshan Town forces surviving in this different world.

It represents the glory of Yuanshan Town when it stood in the wilderness.

When the flag stands on the ground and stands still, the morale of the players will be greatly improved.

Their fighting spirit will kill every enemy that tries to destroy and get close to the flag!
Cuckoo!
At this time, a black owl with a glimmer of light in its eyes flapped its wings and flew to Gerst's shoulder.

Gester immediately looked into the owl's spiritualized eyes for a moment, stroked the owl's round head, and then flapped its wings again and flew into the deep jungle.

More than 200 jackals!
Gerst looked into the thick night, his handsome face was slightly heavy.

Thorne walked silently among the busy crowd, looking very inconspicuous.

He looked up at the Yuanshan Town flag fluttering in the wind, and there was a look of the past in his eyes.

Looking at the players in Yuanshan Town who were not at all flustered by the imminent invasion of the Wolf Man, Thorn's heart was also moved.

These players from Yuanshan Town have survived countless survival battles in the wilderness, and their hands are not only stained with the blood of various humanoid creatures.

At the same time, the cruel war life also gave them a firm and unyielding heart.

In the wilderness that is not protected by the forces of Winter City, war is commonplace for them.

Regardless of the final result, Thorne decided to stay here and try to assist them in defense.

Of course, if it really came to the moment of life and death, he would turn around and leave without hesitation.

On the chaotic battlefield, it is still very easy for a ranger who is proficient in concealment to escape.

blah blah blah!
The heavy sound of heavy combat boots colliding with the ground caught Thorn's attention.

Thorne turned around and saw a group of warrior players in full body armor walking towards the entrance of the village. Their faces were all covered by masked helmets, and they held a fine steel shield and a light round shield with spikes in each hand.

Full body armor is a kind of plate armor that connects pieces of iron plates made according to the curves of various parts of the body with rivets and hooks, and then covers the entire body.

At the same time, it is also equipped with iron gloves, heavy leather boots and a helmet with a face, as well as an inner lining to prevent friction with the body.

This type of armor uses belts and hooks to distribute the weight evenly across the body, so even though it is heavier than plank armor, it is easier to move than plank armor.

The full body armor is tailor-made by master craftsmen, and the price of a set is nearly 1500 gold coins.

However, as long as you have money, armor is not difficult to obtain. What is really scarce are people who can easily wear armor.

Those who are qualified to wear this kind of armor in Yuanshan Town are warrior professionals above level 5. They have a unique advanced profession in Yuanshan Town: double shield guard!
Proficient in the three core specialties of shield sprint, shield mastery, and shield connection.

The two shields in the hands of the double-shield guard are flexible and changeable, and can easily resist various long-range piercing physical attacks.

This kind of professional usually forms a phalanx with five people, and then covers the attacks of the crossbowmen behind them.

Without the interference of powerful magic, it can be crushed all the way, invincible.

When Yuanshan Town was at its peak, there were only about 100 people at most.

The combined weight of the full body armor and shield is more than 35 kilograms, and the elite template that the players bring with them.

Warrior players with better attributes can easily pile up their strength attributes to 5 points after their level is raised to level 20.

These bulky armors can hardly affect their full performance.

When other evil humanoid tribes are attacking Yuanshan Town, there is only a row of double-shield guards leaning towards the front of the formation, like a flexible city wall.

Medium-sized humanoids like Gnolls and Lizardmen, without the assistance of spellcasters, can't do anything with the crude arrows and javelins in their hands.

In the Emerald Field, only the bone-crushing hammers in the hands of the thick-skinned ogres can pose a great threat.

Every town has its own characteristics, and Yuanshan Town is more famous for the double shield guards with strong defensive capabilities.

And Thorn's Waterfall Town is best at longbowmen composed of a group of aboriginal half-elven races, and Thorne learned his archery skills from them.

As the howling of the wolf man became louder, the dense black shadows on both sides of the only road in front of Talan Village quickly approached here.

Thorn's figure flashed, and soon disappeared into the thick night.

He is a skilled professional, and the frontal attack is not suitable for him.

Besides, he doesn't like being called around.

When the players in Yuanshan Town were about to get ready, several fighter players who fled from Winter City and Pardo seemed to have discussed it, and they all came out of the room, intending to do their best.

Immediately after were the sorceress Anderina and the troll Trundle. After seeing Anderina, the heavy-faced Gust immediately greeted them with a smile on his face.

After all, a spellcaster who can cast three-ring spells should not be underestimated.
