Chapter 209 Reinforcements are not coming

For a job that requires extremely strong military literacy and deployment capabilities, such as commanding large corps in combat, Tang Zhao is more than capable, but for this kind of small-scale combat involving dozens of people, he can be considered to be familiar with it. He is on this scale.

You can also maximize your abilities in battle - if there are too many people, individual advantages will be suppressed, but if there are too few people, the efficiency will be low. A few dozen or hundreds of people is just right.

There are so many magicians in Colo, and the elite troops have so many that they have the luxury of almost walking all over the ground. Thanks to this, the defense on the other side of the river is very tight. Not only are there patrolling guards everywhere, but there are also flying machines in the sky.

The giant bats are densely covered with detection magic circles, and any slightest movement can be captured.

Faced with this situation, the most ideal solution is of course to use superb technology to avoid all checkpoints and patrols, but this is definitely unrealistic. Not to mention that Tang Zhao himself does not have this ability. He is also followed by a group of soldiers.

He definitely doesn’t have the ability.

So there is no doubt that the only option is to settle for the next best option.

At eleven or twelve o'clock in the night, Tang Zhao took advantage of a gap when a patrol team temporarily left, directly restored to its maximum size, quickly crossed the half-meter-deep river, and then began to destroy the surrounding detection magic array.

Without concealing his presence and actions, Tang Zhao's unscrupulous behavior naturally caused a reaction - two fully loaded infantry teams quickly rushed out of the barracks and surrounded him.

It is different from the situation in Waterdeep City. The regular infantry there are just a bunch of undead creatures. The occasional infantry is actually not very armed. Most of the resources are given to mages, so the infantry can naturally deal with them casually.

The equipment, equipment and training level are worthy of the investment of the Kolo people.

These are obviously different now. They are equipped with quite thick armor with beautiful etching patterns and three-dimensional carvings on it, which looks very valuable. This is the good thing about the cold weapon era. You can basically guess the combat effectiveness just by looking at the equipment you are wearing.

When Tang Zhao met these warriors, he immediately rushed into the enemy formation and started a bloody hand-to-hand battle.

There is no need to use many fancy abilities. The superposition of weight and size makes it difficult for these warriors to deal with them. Even a desperate blow before death can hardly cause any damage to Tang Zhao, and can only leave some weak wounds on his scales.

scratches.

After tearing apart the tight defensive formation, Tang Zhao rushed directly to the enemy's camp without losing momentum.

The defense situation of the Colo people was not very bad. Three dazzling pillars of fire rose into the sky and attacked Tang Zhao from top to bottom. However, because the caster's rank was not high enough, they were unable to cause effective damage to him. Tang Zhao

Zhao only felt a burning sensation on his body, as if someone had poked him with an awl, but his condition did not deteriorate.

At this time, the flames temporarily obscured Tang Zhao's sight, and two warriors wearing different armors appeared on both sides of Tang Zhao like ghosts, attacking his weaker abdomen.

Tang Zhao, who had always been prepared for similar situations, reacted quickly, but still couldn't dodge and was stabbed in the abdomen, leaving a long bloody mark.

After quickly retreating to distance himself from the opponent, Tang Zhao lowered his head and glanced at the wound on his side. In addition to the normal oozing blood, some kind of black liquid was also flowing out. His own resistance to curses/magic was not

It takes effect, indicating that this is not the common magic of Kolo, but some kind of real poison.

[You guys are really formal with me, let’s just say I’m flattered.]

Tang Zhao was in a good mood and was still in the mood to joke at this time, but the two warriors opposite him looked serious and did not talk to each other, which made Tang Zhao a little unhappy.

The use of venom has never been his privilege, others can still use it. Even if his physique and resistance are super strong, other people's venom can still kill him when it is strong enough.

The two warriors in front of them were obviously waiting for him to attack them - they were equipped with two-handed swords that were very awkward on a large-scale battlefield, which could easily break through Tang Zhao's scales and cause large wounds, and they were equipped with light armor to increase their flexibility.

It was a very targeted approach to avoid a head-on confrontation with Tang Zhao.

Two elite fifth-level warriors are hard to find anywhere, especially in Kolo, a country that attaches great importance to magic to the point of paranoia. I'm afraid there aren't many in the country, so Tang Zhao said this jokingly, but it was actually the case.

Although the information they obtained was incomplete, the Koro people knew that there was a highly intelligent monster on the opposite side, and the biggest feature of this monster was that it was immune to magic attacks like many giant dragons. It is still unclear why.

Moreover, many anti-magic weapons suddenly appeared in the Nirn army this time, causing the magicians who were caught off guard to suffer heavy losses.

The Kolo people are more sensitive to this aspect and instinctively sense that something is wrong, and the key point may be in "Carlos".

Therefore, regardless of the considerations of stabilizing the front line or stifling risks, it is necessary to kill or paralyze Tang Zhao as soon as possible. The opponent's commander was sure that Tang Zhao would appear on the frontal battlefield sooner or later, so he sent people to ambush him.

The retreat was gradually blocked by the swarming human soldiers, and Tang Zhao felt a headache when he saw the two high-level warriors holding weapons.

There was no other way at the moment, so with a sudden thought, Tang Zhao threw out a round of half-moon-shaped tail spikes, piercing the shields and plate armor of the surrounding heavily armored warriors, and nailed them to the ground together with the people behind them.

Taking this opportunity, Tang Zhao pushed away the pikemen who were gradually approaching, and fought and retreated outside the camp.

Of course, the two soldiers specially prepared for him would not sit back and watch him leave. They clung to Tang Zhao like maggots attached to his bones, and would attack Tang Zhao from time to time. Relying on their agility, small size, and the cover of a large number of subordinates, they would strike after they succeeded.

He broke away and kept adding wounds to Tang Zhao's body.

Just like many predators hunting large animals, the knife let out blood, gradually wearing down Tang Zhao's physical strength and condition, and finally gave him a fatal blow, a safe and difficult method to deal with.

Tang Zhao endured these injuries and kept dealing with the two soldiers. After holding on for more than ten minutes, he finally saw what he wanted to see.

In the distant Kolo camp, fire shot into the sky, accompanied by rumbling explosions.

This was the result of those infiltration teams. The cloaks made of Tang Zhao's scale armor powder and other special materials allowed them to block the perception of many detection magics. Tang Zhao himself attracted most of the enemy's attention, and finally added

With a little bit of luck, it seemed that they had successfully penetrated the enemy's camp.

Of course, low-level warriors and spellcasters cannot cause such a big explosion on their own. According to Linn, these warriors all carry some "little surprises" with them, which are actually bombs created by magical means. Now it seems that

The effect is indeed amazing.

The explosion meant that the entire team was likely to be wiped out, but Tang Zhao, who was unable to save himself, found it difficult to think too much, so he could only suppress all thinking activities for the time being and devote himself to the battle.

However, he soon felt that something was not right - when Tang Zhao was fighting with the enemy in front of the door, the reinforcements that were expected to arrive soon did not arrive.

There was no sound of attacking horns, no shouts of cavalry charging, and no sound of magic or arrows piercing the sky. This was completely different from what Linn had promised at the beginning.
