The wild boars here in the Western Fertile Wilds are different from the wild boars in Elwynn Forest.
Wild boars living in Elwynn Forest don't have to worry about eating and drinking, so their tusks appear to be somewhat degenerate.
The wild boar here is similar to the one in Lakeside Town. The two tusks are like pointed cones, and blood stains can be seen on them. It is obvious that they often fight.
Therefore, the wild boars in the fertile wilderness of the west are also called ‘blood-tusked wild boars’ by adventurers.
There are no "neutral monsters" like in the game. The beasts in this world will actively attack humans.
So when the soldiers came forward, the wild boar group spontaneously showed a targeted attitude, turned around, buried their tusks, and were ready to charge at any time.
"Everyone cheers up!"
A cavalry captain drew his weapon and reminded his comrades: "Follow the training! Avoid the charge! Hand out the weapon! Don't cause any casualties!"
As the other soldiers shouted in response, the wild boars were finally disturbed by the sound, and they screamed and charged.
In response, fifty soldiers stepped forward in an orderly manner, holding shields and swords, and the battle soon began.
Ke Wen hugged Natalie's waist and did not let her get off her horse to help. He chose to wait and see.
He found that the quality of these soldiers was pretty good. The battle ended in about two minutes. Most of the soldiers easily cooperated and defeated the wild boar. Only four soldiers were unable to escape in the chaos and were pushed on by the wild boar that suddenly changed direction.
But the plate armor on their bodies was very strong, and even if they were knocked down by a wild boar, the four soldiers were not really hurt.
After the battle, the cavalry captain came up to Ke Wen and asked formally: "Mr. Mage, what is the purpose of destroying these wild boars?"
Ke Wen was slightly stunned. He thought that these soldiers would only faithfully execute the order. Now it seems that they also have their own ideas, so they chose to ask after the order was completed.
In response, Kewen responded: "Your Marshal Lothar has already made a plan to lure the 'Jackals' with food, so we will bring back the carcasses of these wild boars to make them into bait."
The cavalry captain nodded and softened his attitude: "Thanks for the answer, we understand."
"Well." Ke Wen looked at the small patch of woods not far away: "Get ready to continue fighting. There are some 'jackals' over there. I will lure them out."
The cavalry captain immediately turned around and commanded his comrades: "Everyone! Put up shields in the direction of the woods!"
The sound of hurried footsteps sounded, and the soldiers quickly formed five small shield walls and stood on guard towards the grove.
Coven patted Natalie and asked her to prepare similarly, and then began his "fancy" performance.
He took out his staff from his pocket and recited a spell that others could not understand. Then he pointed the staff in front of the horse.
The next moment, an illusory figure gathered from the front and took shape.
Next, Kewen controlled his phantom and headed towards the woods. After getting into the woods, he made an attack on the jackals inside.
The howl of wolves suddenly started, and more than forty jackals were completely enraged. They rushed out to chase after the phantom and charged out of the woods.
"Prepare to meet the enemy!"
The cavalry captain had already dismounted and formed a shield wall with his colleagues. When he saw the more than forty jackals chasing them, he immediately shouted and gave command.
Ke Wen glanced at them, then smiled and shook his head. When the 'Jackal Man' was still about twenty meters away, he suddenly threw the staff in his hand.
The staff flew forward quickly and plunged vertically into the ground.
Then, the ice layer popped up from under the ground and quickly spread towards the gnolls.
Jackals have no brains and don't know how to dodge magic.
Therefore, they were all killed in the continuous charge, and all the gnolls had their feet frozen by Coven's "Frost Nova" magic.
Because it is the effect of magical elements, the ice layer is very strong. Even if it looks like a thin layer, no matter how hard the Jackal tries, he still cannot break free from the ice layer.
Even if they chop with the weapons in their hands, or even dig with their claws, the layer of ice will still not break away from their legs and feet...
This scene made the fifty soldiers look at each other in shock.
The magicians in this world are very noble. They have never seen real magic.
So they looked surprised and envious at the same time.
At the same time, these soldiers didn't know what to do next. After all, they had no combat experience with magicians.
Then, all the soldiers looked at Ke Wen.
Ke Wen reacted quickly. When he found that the soldiers did not take action immediately, he understood what was going on.
Therefore, facing the many eyes that were looking over him, Ke Wen waved gently to the ‘Jackal Man’: “Go up and harvest.”
After being reminded, the cavalry captain immediately put away his shield and commanded excitedly: "Put up your shield! Charge!"
Amidst the clanging sound of armor clashing, fifty soldiers chased Natalie's figure and quickly charged towards the 'Jackal Man'.
…
…
In the evening, Coven and Natalie returned to Sentinel Ridge with fifty intact soldiers.
Galken and Tager, who had returned a long time ago, came to greet them. Galken looked at the two of Kewen and then asked with confidence: "How is the situation over there? Is it going well?"
"Everything goes well." Natalie responded and dismounted.
Ke Wen also swung his legs and slid off the horse, and asked at the same time: "What's the situation over there?"
"We didn't investigate in detail."
Galken shook his head and sighed: "There are really too many Jackals. Some soldiers have counted them. The number of Jackals on the north coast has even exceeded two thousand! So I only led the team on the outside.
I observed it from a distance and then came back."
Natalie interrupted: "Stop talking about it now, we brought back important news. Where is Lord Jazz now?"
Galken quickly pointed to the sentry tower: "It's inside."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Let's go!" Natalie greeted and walked quickly towards the sentry tower.
Soon everyone arrived at the gate of the sentry tower. The sentry here already knew the identities of Ke Wen and others, so they did not stop them.
Everyone went up the spiral staircase and found Anduin Lothar in the 'Combat Conference Room' on the lower floor of the 'Tower Observation Deck'.
Following the footsteps and looking towards the stairs, Anduin Lothar asked slightly happily: "You are back? How is the investigation of the situation?"
"Sir Sir!" Natalie said seriously: "In the valley of 'Dagger Ridge', we not only found the 'Gnoll Tribe', we also found two two-headed ogres! And three ordinary ogres.
Human devil!"
"What!?"
Anduin Lothar immediately walked over quickly, put his eyes in front of Natalie, stared at her and said, "Dagger Ridge! Ogres! There are two more ogre casters!?"
"Yes Sir!" Natalie responded seriously: "Coven wanted to take action, but we feel that we should come back and inform you of the news first so that you can make the final decision."
Anduin Lothar took a deep breath, straightened his body, and turned his attention to Ke Wen.
This time he was very serious and said in a deep voice: "Mage! Are you sure you can fight against two ogre casters?"
Hearing this, Ke Wen, who was leaning against the wall at the door, put down the wine bag, wiped the corner of his mouth with his other hand, and then said, "It's a small matter."
"Are you sure!?" Anduin Lothar confirmed again.
Ke Wen nodded and said with an indifferent attitude: "There are also ogre forces in the western continent of Kalimdor, and they have even formed a kingdom there."
This sentence surprised Anduin Lothar, who had only heard of the "Ogre Tribe". He couldn't help shouting: "Kingdom!? You described it correctly!?"
"It's the kind of kingdom you think of." Coven shrugged his shoulders: "The Feralas region, the ancient city of 'Ere'Thalas', a city established by the ancient elves more than 10,000 years ago, is now occupied by ogres.
It occupies one-third.”
Anduin Lothar was shocked.
He took a deep breath to regain his composure, remembered this information in his heart, then put it aside and returned to the topic at hand.
"So..." Anduin Lothar stared into Corwin's eyes: "Have you ever dealt with ogres? Are you confident in defeating their spellcasters?"
"That's right." Ke Wen responded: "You take them too seriously. As long as you don't fight with them in close combat, their huge size is completely a target for long-range attacks."
"Thank you for the information!"
Anduin Lothar thought thoughtfully and said: "In this case, if I want to deal with those big guys in the future, I'd better go to Ironforge to borrow some professional hunters..."
Feeling that a big stone had been put down in his heart, Anduin Lothar asked Coven: "Okay, let's put the ogre thing aside first. Then, have you obtained any other information? About the gnolls.
"
Ke Wen looked at Natalie and motioned for her to continue speaking.
Anduin Lothar was a little disappointed when he saw this. Since he couldn't continue to talk to Corwin, he had no choice but to look at Natalie again.
"Sir Sir!" Natalie said respectfully: "The number of gnolls in Dagger Ridge is about a thousand. They show no signs of intending to move, and it seems that they do not intend to unite with other tribes."
"On the contrary, in the tribe located at the foot of the mountains in the southeast, most of the jackals in it have disappeared! There are only less than a hundred large jackals left in that tribe, and more than two hundred cubs!"
Galken suddenly interjected: "So that's it! Let me tell you! Why are there so many gnolls in the northern region! It turns out that two tribes have united together!"
Anduin Lothar nodded in understanding, breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Fortunately, if the number is two thousand, I shouldn't have to pay many casualties of soldiers..."
"You relaxed too early."
Ke Wen, who was drinking, put down his wine bag and interrupted abruptly...
