Chapter 115 Sal's Defense War on

The mercenaries left happily with the harvest in Sal City.

The tasks they received by the mercenary union are all related to material collection. In the material shop in Sal City, the mercenaries found all the required task items. The price is absolutely cheap. Coupled with the 50% discount promised by Leon, it's just like taking it for nothing!

Mercenaries only hate that they have too little money with them, otherwise they will definitely buy up the whole shop.

Leon personally sent them away. I believe that after these mercenaries go back, the news about Salling will quickly spread throughout the Glei region, and then Sal City will definitely become lively.

When Leon was preparing to do a big job, a bad news came - a large number of swamp water demons were found in the west of Salling, and a higher-level demon clan appeared!

Reon, who received the news, immediately withdrew all the hunting teams and held an emergency military meeting. All the important figures of the Sal leader were present, including the Ug tribe.

"There are a lot of them, and there are three swamp giant crocodiles found by our sentries in the river!" The iron skin said solemnly, "There are still a few Naga banshees!"

Naga banshees are a rare ethnic group in the demon clan. Like black elves, they are all female surnames in the whole tribe, half of the body and half of the body and half of the snake body. They are born ice water mage.

If you encounter a Naga banshee in the water, then ten irons can't defeat one of the other, and the Nagas are also the hegemons of the Western Everglades.

Of course, Naga banshees are not without weaknesses. If they leave the water, their ability will be weakened a lot.

This time, it was found that the enemy invaded in advance, thanks to the hippopotamus warriors of the Ug tribe.

Although the current Ug tribe is still in the forest by the waterfall, it has a very close relationship with the city of Sal, and at the request of Leon, sentries have been arranged in the main forest rivers.

Since Leon and others helped the Ug tribe repel the sneak attack of the swamp water demon more than two months ago, the enemy did not calm down, and frequently used the crisscrossed river in the forest to launch attacks, even posing a threat to the hunting team of the Sal leaders.

It can be said that the swamp water demon is the biggest enemy that Salling is facing at present, and now there is a more powerful Naga banshee.

"Since the swamp water demons are haunted at night and afraid of the sun, the Naga banshee can't leave the water..." Concordia said in a low voice, "Why don't we stick to Sal City at night and look for opportunities to fight back during the day."

Concordia's idea is very reasonable. Such tactics can make full use of the defensive advantages of Sal City. It is impossible for swamp water demons to jump on the city wall. As long as they are strictly defended, there is no gap to drill, and sooner or later they will have to return.

Leon nodded and said, "It is very beneficial for us to defend the city of Saar, but we have thousands of acres of wheat fields outside the city. If they attack unfavorably and destroy the wheat fields to vent their anger, then the past two months of our farm will be in vain, and the source of food in the second half of the year will become a big problem."

At present, the grain storage of Salling is close to the bottom line, and it all depends on hunting from the forest and fishing in the Nucang River to make up for the deficiency.

The rye planted in the reclaimed wheat field will mature in less than a month, which can be said to be the hope of the whole tribe in the next six months.

"That's really a problem. The trade embargo on us has been ongoing, and hunting and fishing alone cannot meet the needs of our territory." Elder Monstein frowned and said.

"So my idea is to take the initiative. The enemy's action is inseparable from the river, so we will intercept them on the river!" Leon punched the table: "Only when they are crippled and hurt will they know that we are not easy to mess with!"

"Concordia, Rock Hammer, gather the battalion and the guard immediately and get ready to fight!"

"Yes, my lord!"

Concordia and Rock Hammer immediately stood up and agreed loudly.

Wow! Whoo!

For the first time, the horn of battle sounded in the city of Saar. All the soldiers of the Thunder Beast Battalion urgently gathered outside the city, and only about a hundred soldiers remained in the city of Saar.

This time, the Sal leader can be said to have done his best. The Leon camp dispatched 700 main soldiers, and all the 100 soldiers of the Leon Lord Guards participated, as well as the shaman elder Monstein and the mage Aklan to fight with the army!

This battle is the first real war that broke out since the establishment of Salling. Although it is small in scale, it is related to the future and destiny of this new territory!

...... The Heishui River, like the Nucang River, also originates from the Great Marzhao zes, but this river first enters the mountains in the northeast, then turns to the southeast, and finally flows into the Nucang River through half of the Salling.

The Blackwater River is an important river in Sal's territory. Its two branches lead to the Tielubao area of the western province and the southwest provinces, and are connected with more than a dozen large and small streams and rivers, forming a huge water network in the whole west of the province of the province.

The swamp water demon used this river to enter the Salling, threatening the city of Sal to the east.

The wide river, the deep water, and the black water grass in the river have become the greatest help of the water demons. Thousands of swamp water demons led by several Naga and approached the hinterland of Salling downstream.

Unlike the swamp water demon who is afraid of the sun, the Naga bansheep can use spells to create a water mist barrier outside her body to keep her body moist.

This layer of water mist is also like their armor, covering the vital parts of their bodies.

Every Naga banshee has a beautiful appearance. Perhaps because they have been soaked in water for a long time, their faces are pale cyan, their slender blue eyes flashing with gloomy light, and sharp fangs are exposed on both sides of their red blood-like lips, as if they want to choose someone at any time.

The most strange thing is the snake body and tail of the snake on the shuttle ship, and the black scales covering the surface loom in the mist, which makes people shudder.

The banshees also hold a gray staff in their hands. The talented casting ability makes every Naga a natural mage, and there is no contempt in the demon clan.

The sky gradually darkened, and it was said that the sun could not penetrate the dense canopy over the forest, and it could only barely drop a little mottled light and shadow.

The speed of the shuttle boat slowed down, and a swamp water demon emerged from the water. The whole river was black, including the terrible figure of the swamp giant crocodile.

A Naga screamed, and the uncontrollable shuttle slowly turned closer to the river bank, and the swamp water demons began to land one after another.

At this time, a Naga who was still on the ship moved. She seemed to find something. She turned her head and looked at the woods on the side of the river bank, and the fierce light flashed in her blue eyes.

Oh! Huh! Huh!

Suddenly, countless arrows flew out of the woods dozens of meters away, forming a rain of arrows on the swamp water demons who landed on the shore.

Hiss! ~ A ball of blood burst out, and the unexpected swamp water demon suddenly fell down a large area.

Many of the arrows went straight to the three Nagas, but they were bounced away by the layer of water mist shrouded in them. Two of them, Naga shouted harshly, and the staff in their hands waved quickly.

The rapids surged up on the originally gentle river, and a silver-white arrows shot from the water to the forest. The sound was extremely amazing!

The arrow rain attack of the ambush was immediately greatly frustrated. Many arrows were directly shot down in the air, and they could no longer pose a threat to the swamp water demons who landed.

In the woods, two hundred soldiers with big shields showed their bodies. They raised their shields to cover the archers behind them in time.

Many water arrows hit their shields, making a dull sound of "puff" and "puff", and the power was quite strong.

These warriors hiding in the woods are of course the thunder beast camp led by Leon.

The thunder beast camp can set up an ambush here in advance. Of course, it is not that Leon has the ability of a prophet, but that the river bank of the river is the closest to the city of Sal. The swamp water demons have attacked the Ug tribe several times through here.

After this information was mastered by Leon, he immediately used it.

"The archer shoots back quickly, and the thunder beast throws a gun!"

Leon waved his sword to block a water arrow flying towards him and immediately issued a new order.

All the crossbowmen completed the last wave of attacks as quickly as possible and immediately retreated to the depths of the woods, and 300 soldiers took their place and threw a shuttle gun.

The big trees in the forest greatly affect the projection effect, but also provide them with the best protection. Thunder Beast warriors do not need to aim accurately, as long as they throw the shuttle gun into the river to complete the task.

Those swamp water demons who had just paid for the surface of the water immediately had bad luck. These shuttle guns all had sharp metal heads and had a strong ability to penetrate. Even if they were not hit, they were seriously injured when they were shot.

Dozens of water demons died and sank in an instant, screaming one after another, and their blood polluted the whole river.

The three Naga banshees were so angry that their eyes turned green. They roared repeatedly, and the counterattack of the water arrow became more and more fierce.

One of them, Naga, raised a high water wall on the river and pushed it straight to the river bank, providing a solid barrier for the swamp water demon.

"Retreat!"

Leon did not hesitate to order that more and more swamp water demons landed successfully, and the two swamp giant crocodiles would also climb ashore. Under the cover of the other three Naga banshees, it would not be a wise choice for the thunder beast camp to fight with them here.

His ambush this time is to test the strength of the other party, and also to hurt the spirit of the other party.

Now that these two goals have been achieved, there is no need to confront the other party immediately.

With Leon's order, the thunder beast warriors disappeared from the woods on the bank of the river at the fastest speed.

When thousands of swamp water demons landed, they could no longer find an enemy in the dark woods.

Naga's face turned pale.
