Chapter 203 Assault
"He should be thankful that he did not kill his former comrade." Kane stroked the sword on his waist and just shook his head for a moment.
Levi said on the side: "I have to remind you, he doesn't look like he's going to do anything good. That direction is the stronghold of the Harads."
"I know. I know everything."
Kane sighed and said, "Not only do I know that, I also know that direction is the base where the commander of the army in the Harneng River Basin is located."
"Don't underestimate our ability to obtain intelligence."
Levi nodded: "It seems that you know what you are doing."
"Let's go and capture him now, and we can still use this base."
"no need."
Kane chose not to pursue.
"I have given him a chance. Since he did not repent in the end, he must pay the price for his choice."
"The Harads will not miss this opportunity. They will definitely attack before dawn. Time is very short. They will not be able to send many troops here in a short time. We can ambush them halfway."
"I am well aware of the total number of troops they have on the North Shore, and this team can handle it."
"I'll settle accounts with Trit after this, and he'll realize how big a mistake he made."
Buzz——
The battle horn sounded, and the rangers woke up from their sleep. They equipped their weapons and longbows and gathered on the ground.
Kane stood in front of the field and gave a mobilization speech:
"Our base has been discovered by spies sent by the Haradrim. Men, we have a battle tonight."
"Everyone cheer up!"
"The Haradrim will pay for their arrogance!"
Needless to say, everyone in the commando team has seen life and death, and is accustomed to sudden combat and various environmental changes.
Just set your goal and then take action.
Several experienced spies quickly set out to the north bank of the Harnen River, and the rest of the people also checked their equipment and made all preparations.
As the moon moved for a few moments, the spies returned one by one.
"There is considerable unrest in the Haradrim camp."
"They are gathering at the nearest camp on the north bank."
"Then it's clear what to do next."
Kane quickly decided on an ambush location.
"They'll know why we're 'Commando'."
"Take me one."
Levi came over.
I can't help it, I have to join in the fun.
"If you like."
Kane responded with a smile.
With this legend joining us, this operation is likely to be a success...
? …
"My Lord, I have found out everything!"
In the camp on the north bank of the Harnen River, Treit excitedly reported:
"There are 85 people in the camp, including a commando leader and an outsider."
“You did a great job.”
The commander immediately stood up and patted Cui Te on the shoulder to show encouragement.
"But you said there was another outsider there. Who was it?"
"I was just about to report this to you, my Lord."
Cui Te said mysteriously: "He is a great lord in the north whose status is comparable to that of a king. He has many legendary deeds and I heard that he even killed a dragon with his own hands."
"He also knows some magical sorcery, especially refining medicine. He can make a magical potion that can instantly heal all injuries of a person. I have personally experienced this."
As he spoke, Cui Te stood up and presented himself to the commander.
"All the wounds on my body, both external and internal, disappeared as soon as I drank that bottle of medicine."
"Is it really that magical?"
The commander couldn't sit still any longer.
No wonder this guy suddenly looked so much better, almost the same as when he was captured.
"Not bad, not bad, very valuable."
"What is the host of Gondor if this sorcery can serve us?"
The commander began to make some plans, but he still had a little doubt in his mind.
"But why would a northern king come here?"
"I heard that he traveled secretly without telling his subjects, in order to find something in the south."
Cui Te replied: "I checked carefully, sir, he did come here by himself, without even a single follower."
"Okay, great."
"But in this case, we will have to make some changes to our plans."
"A great lord from the north who is comparable to a king and also possesses some magical sorcery. He is much more valuable than the entire team and must not be let go..."
The commander muttered to himself, and with a wave of his hand he called his deputy over.
"Prepare one hundred, no, two hundred cavalrymen to raid the commandos' strongholds first. Let them also have a taste of what it's like to be ambushed."
"Then gather all the troops, including those in the South Bank stronghold, and we will go to encircle and suppress that great lord."
"He claims to have killed a dragon, right? Then bring the mammoth over. I don't believe he can face the encirclement of thousands of people and the trampling of the mammoth war elephants all by himself."
With so many people, even if he really had the strength to kill the dragon, he would be exhausted to death, not to mention the war elephants behind him.
Besides, slaying a dragon? What a joke.
I would believe you even if you said he shot the dragon in its weak spot with a bow and arrow and killed it, but you said he fought against the dragon with a human body...
Isn’t this a bit outrageous?
Do you think he is the [Shadow of War] from the East?
"Capture him alive."
"I want to see how capable this great lord is."
The tranquility of the night was broken.
The order issued by the commander was executed quite quickly. Almost all the cavalry stationed on the north bank quickly gathered and began to march towards the commandos' lakeside stronghold.
Every Harad soldier was full of fighting spirit, because they finally had the chance to take revenge on those elusive rangers. Tonight their roles would be reversed, from being the victims of ambush to being the attackers.
But this is ultimately not very realistic.
The cavalrymen marched towards the commandos' stronghold, but what they didn't know was that the lakeside stronghold was empty at this time. The commandos had already moved to the vicinity of the main road leading to the stronghold in advance, and sneaked in under the cover of dead trees and darkness.
Each of them held a large bow that was almost as tall as a person, and the huge quiver behind them was filled with long arrows with green feathers, and they also had swords on their waists.
It can be cut at any distance and at any time.
Infected by the atmosphere, even Levi took out his bow and waited silently with the rangers.
Just looking at the dark environment and silent atmosphere in front of him, after thinking about it, Levi decided to change to a bow without the 'Fire Arrow' enchantment. After all, the flaming arrows were too conspicuous at night, and by the time the first arrow was shot, the direction would be immediately exposed.
Boom…
The faint sound of horse hooves came from afar and gradually got louder and closer.
Everyone held their breath.
Captain Kane stood at the front, staring intently at the approaching cavalry.
After a few breaths, the ground began to shake, and the vibration became more and more obvious.
In the moonlight, Kane raised his hand, and everyone drew their longbows.
At a certain moment, he suddenly waved his hand forward.
Whoosh——
A rain of arrows flew through the bushes, heading towards the cavalry and horses.
hiss--
"ah--!"
Screams and the neighing of horses were heard, and large clouds of dust rose into the air during the struggle, blocking the view of the cavalry behind.
The sneak attack came so suddenly that the people behind didn't have time to react and they tripped and fell.
Kane raised his hand again, and another round of arrows was fired, killing almost half of the cavalry.
"Over there!"
Someone pointed at the place where the commandos were hiding and shouted, but the next moment he was hit in the throat by a silent arrow and fell to the ground.
Seeing that they were about to be exposed, Kane made another gesture, and everyone immediately understood. They drew their swords at their waists, rushed out of the bushes, and launched a general attack on the cavalry who had not yet recovered.
“Fight, fight!!”
The cavalry captain fell to the ground dead in the first round of arrow rain attack. The deputy captain following behind him immediately took over the command, but it was too late.
The rangers in the dark night were silently moving through the chaotic battlefield, quickly harvesting the lives of the cavalrymen with swift and neat movements.
——Except for one person, his momentum cannot be suppressed at all.
Boom!
Fire sprang up from somewhere, and the deputy captain subconsciously turned his head, only to see a black-armored warrior holding an elven sword, setting the enemies in front of him on fire one by one and putting them to death.
Fire, black armor, elven sword, magic...
A chill suddenly rushed into his heart, and his mouth began to knot: "War... War, Shadow...!"
Shadow of War!
Ouch——
The horses were frightened, and the deputy captain quickly clamped his horse's belly, decisively abandoned the main force and turned around to flee back alone.
The information is wrong!
It's that man, the so-called 'great lord' that the damned Gondor traitor mentioned is that man! The news must be passed on to the commander...
Plop! Before they had run far, the horse suddenly fell forward and stopped moving. The deputy captain, who had fallen to the ground, got up and saw that there were several long arrows with green feathers stuck in the vital parts of the horse.
"You damned bunch of--Ugh!"
A hand suddenly covered his mouth, and a cold dagger was pressed against his neck, then slid to the side.
Phew.
Silky smooth, painless experience.
The last enemy fell to the ground without a sound.
