With the plan in mind, everyone acted quickly. Teams from all races were assembled that night. Early the next morning, the advance team composed of goblins and beasts had already arrived at the border of their territory and began to patrol the surrounding area, looking for suitable

camping location.

At noon that day, a team of dwarves and kobolds arrived. They began to cooperate with the dryads to build a camp, and a camp that looked good was gradually taking shape.

The camp was mainly built with thorns generated by plant magic, and many trees were also cut down for use as building materials. The camp is very large and is expected to be able to accommodate thousands of people, far more than their five hundred or so. This is reserved

For the dwarves of Dragon's Den Pass.

If necessary, the camp can continue to be expanded to accommodate coalition forces stationed there.

During the construction period, Tang Zhao returned to his original size and kept lying next to the construction team, using his huge size to intimidate possible enemies around him.

The construction was not going smoothly, and what they were worried about still happened - dark creatures from the southern part of the forest began to attack them. Although there were not many powerful creatures, most of them were jackals, but they were also attacked by them.

It caused quite a bit of trouble.

Dark creatures are just a slightly derogatory name. In fact, in essence, these creatures are no different from other creatures. They are all members of the main world. Except for a few species, they have no deep connection with demons. Demons have no

The law orders them and can only control them through coercion and inducement.

[These creatures were probably driven away. There are also many powerful native creatures in the forest. The devil probably did not choose to confront them head-on, but directly bypassed them. Now these relatively weak creatures are used by the devil to check the reality.

Squinting at the dark forest in the distance, Tang Zhao had no doubt that if they showed excessive weakness, ferocious demons would rush out of the forest.

Fortunately, Tang Zhao seemed to be quite intimidating. Those who were driven here were all small characters, and not many creatures had the courage to confront Tang Zhao head-on.

Even if there were occasional creatures that were not clear-headed, such as trolls and hill giants, without Tang Zhao taking direct action, the nearby dwarves would use powerful ballistae to pierce them directly, and their death would be quite miserable.

One after another, naturally no creature dared to cause trouble. Tang Zhao and others successfully blocked the threat of invasion at the edge of their territory.

I spent a tense half day, and unexpected situations occurred from time to time, but the situation was still within control limits and no large-scale conflicts broke out.

After all the surrounding warning towers were arranged, Tang Zhao finally felt a little more relieved.

Now that the basic defenses have been constructed, and subsequent dwarf and kobold units have also been stationed in them, the best time to strike has passed. The probability of them being attacked has been greatly reduced, and the possibility of repelling the attack will also increase.

He still didn't leave in a hurry, but retreated to the camp to be alert for possible enemies.

Taking advantage of this period of time, the druids used magic and potions to heal his injuries and restore him to his due fighting strength as soon as possible. But skin injuries are easy to deal with, but fractures are a very troublesome thing.

They have many druids, but very few of them are at the third level. Spellcasters of this level can deal with skin injuries very well, but it is difficult to quickly heal serious injuries such as fractures.

No matter what, he needs time to heal his wounds, but what he lacks most now is time. Before his injuries recover, his combat effectiveness will seriously decline.

——

That night, Tang Zhao was awakened by the sound of war drums.

The rapid rhythm that symbolized the enemy's invasion sounded, and Tang Zhao suddenly jumped down from the tree, his body quickly grew in size, and he burst out with astonishing speed and ran towards the camp gate.

At the gate of the camp, the dwarves arranged the baggage trucks in a row as a cover, and used tall sentry towers and bunkers to shoot outside.

More than a dozen crossbows were placed everywhere, forming a powerful defense with hundreds of powerful crossbows. They fired continuously. The jackals outside continued to suffer losses. There were often three or four jackals strung together and nailed to the ground.

What happens on the ground.

The dwarves work in groups of three, with nine auxiliary kobolds: three kobolds are responsible for holding the tower shield for cover, and the remaining six kobolds are responsible for loading the crossbows. The dwarves only need to be responsible for shooting, and the three dwarves use nine

For a powerful crossbow, hand the crossbow to the kobold to be stringed as soon as it is fired. This can maximize the accuracy advantage of the dwarves.

A large number of gnolls died on the way to the charge. Even if a few lucky ones rushed to the front of the camp, they would be entangled in the thorns, and then assassinated by the kobolds holding spears and waiting behind the thorns.

The jackals also tried throwing ignited arrows soaked in grease. However, although their camp was built with plants, plant magic also had a considerable degree of fire resistance. They were just afraid of flames containing a large amount of magic power. Ordinary flames could not destroy the camp.

The entire camp was ignited, and lacking high-level warriors and siege equipment, they were helpless against the camp.

They chose to use the human sea tactic to attack the position. The war scenarios that the dwarves are best at are city defense and fighting against the impact of the human sea. Without a decisive advantage, these jackals are destined to be beaten to death.

Tang Zhao was startled at first, but after observing for a while and finding that the battle line was very stable, he felt relieved.

After calming down, he watched the jackals launching wave after wave of attacks, and he couldn't help but have some questions in his heart.

[There are too many jackals here. It looks like there are at least thousands of them, which is very unnatural. Moreover, their morale is too high. According to common sense, three volleys of crossbows can defeat them.

of.】

Tang Zhao believed that there was someone behind these jackals who was commanding them, and it must be more than just coercion and inducement. There should be something deeper that could make these jackals charge without fear of death.

It was too late to think about this now. Tang Zhao hurried to the gate, guarding against the demon that might appear at any time.

These small characters can only cause trouble for them, and they can cope with it for the time being. The ones who should really be wary of are always the devils. Tang Zhao is in a bad state now, so he must be careful.

A low horn sound came from the distance, and the jackals reacted to this, slowing down their movements and looking for cover on the spot, not knowing what would happen next.

Immediately afterwards, something unexpected happened - several stones the size of millstones flew out from the forest and hit one of the dwarf sentry towers. Most of them missed the target, but there were still stones that hit the target.

The entire sentry tower collapsed, and the dwarves on top jumped down in time to avoid death, but the ballista on top was already scrapped.

Before anyone could see what creature threw the stone, a group of heavily armed hobgoblins rushed out of the forest and headed straight for the camp gate.
