At this time, no one would question Roger's decision. As soon as he finished speaking, everyone ran towards the big tree under the cover of the soldiers. Except for Mike and others who brought firewood, everyone even had tents.
I didn't care that saving my life was the most important thing at the moment, so I had to put everything else aside for the time being.
The big tree Roger was referring to could definitely be called an old tree even in the ancient Yingge Forest. The trunk of this big tree requires dozens of people to hug it, and it is almost as big as a small house.
.The dense canopy of trees covers several acres, and even if it rains heavily, the land under the trees will not get wet.
For Roger, who needs to fight hippogryphs, this old tree is simply a natural defense. With this tree as a cover, you don’t have to worry about monsters coming from behind or above your head. You only need to be prepared for them to attack from the front.
The attack is enough.
At this time, others also understood Roger's intentions and began to take action without his instructions, relying on the old tree to defend against the hippogryph attack. Naturally, the ones closest to the trunk were the injured Rosberg and Hamilton, followed by Lisa and a few others.
A woman and Linda's child, and outside were Roger, Mike and others, and then from the inside to the outside were defensive formations composed of short archers, short sword warriors and spear militiamen.
The hippogryphs in the sky naturally saw the actions of Roger and others clearly. But after discovering that they were hiding under the tree canopy, the monsters let out screams filled with unwillingness. As a hunter, Mike could roughly understand this.
He quickly reminded others loudly: "Attention, they are about to attack!"
As soon as Mike finished speaking, a group of hippogryphs suddenly appeared in the darkness in front of everyone and pounced on them quietly. Just as Roger had expected, because the old tree served as a cover, the hippogryphs could only face them from the front.
They attacked.
Roger had been preparing for the hippogryph's attack. At this moment, he gave the command to the short archers to fire. The arrows flew straight towards the hippogryph with a whistling sound, and he shot several hippogryphs in an instant. These hippogryphs were miserable.
He screamed and rolled around in the air before falling to the ground. The feathers all over his body were flying in all directions due to the impact, and he could no longer survive his eyes.
Although the short archers shot several hippogryphs to death, their number was still too small to completely stop the attack of the monsters. More hippogryphs escaped the threat of sharp arrows and flew straight ahead of Roger and others.
past.
The hippogryphs were extremely fast, and before the short archers had time to fire the second round of arrows, they had already flown in front of the spear militia. Under Roger's command, the spear militia suddenly raised their weapons, forming a gleaming screen of cold light.
wall of guns.
The hippogryphs flying in the front could not avoid it and screamed as they hit the wall of guns. The sharp spear points pierced the body of the hippogryphs without any suspense and hung them on the spears.
The hippogryphs following behind realized that something was wrong, and screamed and flew into the air, trying to avoid the deadly gun wall in front of them. However, even so, many hippogryphs were unable to dodge and hit hard.
At the tip of the spear, they followed in the footsteps of their kind and perished.
There are also a few hippogryphs that are particularly strong. They dodge left and right to bypass the defense line of the spear militiamen, and fly directly into the crowd. These guys originally thought they would be able to kill, but unexpectedly they ran straight into the dagger soldiers.
surrounded. The dagger soldiers used their small bucklers to resist the sharp beaks and claws of the hippogryphs, and at the same time slashed hard at these monsters with the daggers in their hands.
The strengths of the hippogryph lie in its fast flight ability and agile reaction speed, but it does not have any advantage in physical strength. The dagger warriors attacked the surrounded hippogryph like chopping melons and vegetables, and several of them rushed in in the blink of an eye.
All the monsters that came from the formation were wiped out.
The hippogryphs suffered heavy losses in this attack. At least twenty of them died in the hands of the soldiers, but Roger only lost two spear militiamen and one short sword warrior. The losses between the two sides were so huge.
The gap also greatly increased Roger's confidence in completely destroying the hippogryph.
The hippogryphs suffered heavy losses in their first attack, and they immediately became more cautious. For these monsters, Roger and others were the most difficult group of humans they had ever encountered. The hippogryphs had never encountered them before.
I have seen humans who are so difficult to deal with. These people are very disciplined and have high morale. They are completely different from the humans in the past who could kill anyone with just one attack.
However, hippogryphs are only black iron-level monsters after all. They only have some low-level intelligence, and still retain the bloodthirsty and murderous beast instinct in their bones. Although two consecutive attacks failed and many of their kind were lost,
Hippogryphs did not intend to give up so many prey. They were still hovering over the big trees, waiting for opportunities to swoop down and attack.
Although Roger could not fly due to the cover of the tree canopy, he could tell from the cry of the hippogryphs that they had not flown away. He couldn't help complaining in a low voice: "It's really troublesome, like a plaster."
Once it’s attached, it can’t be peeled off.”
Hamilton didn't know when he came to Roger. After listening to his words, he asked curiously: "What is the plaster?"
"The plaster... is trouble, a big trouble!" After casually explaining to Hamilton, Roger quickly changed the subject and said: "How is the injury on your back? Do you want me to bandage it for you?"
"No, I can handle it myself." Hamilton seemed a little nervous when talking about this, and quickly asked: "How do you plan to destroy these hippogryphs?"
To be honest, Roger didn't know what to do. He could only sigh and said: "What else can I do? Just waste it with them!"
"We can afford it, but Rosberg can't afford it!" Hamilton was obviously dissatisfied with Roger's answer. He frowned and said solemnly: "We must find a clergyman to treat him as soon as possible."
Hamilton's appearance can be described as "delicate", and when he frowned, he actually looked a bit pitiful. This made Roger distracted for a moment, and he felt that he was not facing a man, but a beautiful girl.
Finding Roger staring at him with dull eyes, Hamilton, who was a little dissatisfied, gave him a gentle squeeze and said, "Did you hear what I said? We must get to Lington Pass as soon as possible!"
Roger came to his senses when Hamilton was like this, and quickly thought to himself: "No, no, no, I am so obsessed with men? Is it possible that a side effect of time travel is that I will be interested in men? Don't do this!"
Just when Roger was worried about his orientation, the hippogryphs launched another attack. This group of monsters also had no patience. They just wanted to kill all these humans before dawn, and then drag them back to their lair to enjoy them slowly.
