Chapter 396: Be Patient
At the same time, inside the energy channel, the velociraptors were running at full speed, intending to pass through the energy channel at the fastest speed and reach the other side of the world, so as to provide a more stable moving environment for the large forces behind.
The high priest has calculated the changes in climate. The temperature in the opposite world has begun to warm up, which also indicates that their attack will be fully launched!
The leading swift dragoons were so aggressive that they were determined to wipe out everything! Unexpectedly, at this moment, the swift dragoon who was rushing in the front suddenly felt a flash in front of his eyes, and a terrifying attack swept over at lightning speed.
The sturdy body of the velociraptor was as fragile as thin paper in front of this attack. He didn't even have time to scream before he was pierced through thoroughly!
And this was just the beginning! The attack continued unabated, leaving behind a trail of pierced corpses wherever it passed.
The velociraptors further behind started shouting after realizing something was wrong.
"Attack! There's an attack!!"
The sudden situation caused the momentum of the Lizardman vanguard troops in the energy channel to stagnate.
The special environment inside the energy channel means that once they are attacked, they will only have two choices: either retreat or charge forward under the attack.
The astonishing intensity of the attack made the remaining dragoons quickly give up the idea of continuing the charge and decided to retreat temporarily.
During this time, on the grassland side, the crossbow squad's second attack was ready to go, but they were not in a hurry to open fire.
This giant crossbow is not cheap to make, and it is also very difficult to transport. It requires a special horse-drawn carriage, and one carriage can't carry much, so it cannot be wasted.
The cavalry outside the energy channel in the distance were stepping forward to confirm the situation, then waving the small flag in their hands and signaling towards them, meaning to suspend the attack.
It seems that the giant crossbow arrow scared away the lizardmen on the opposite side.
During this period, the velociraptors on the Lizardmen's side, who were the vanguards of the charge, were frightened by the giant crossbow arrow and retreated in disgrace halfway through their charge.
Outside the energy channel of the Lizardman Continent, the Lizardman leader knew that something had changed when he saw the retreating velociraptors.
Just as he was thinking this, a velociraptor in charge of communication had already rushed to him and reported to him.
"Reporting to the commander, the vanguard troops were attacked in the passage, and it has been confirmed that thirteen swift dragon cavalry were killed."
The Lizardman leader's face suddenly changed when he received the news.
He was not surprised about being attacked in the passage. After all, they were also attacked in the passage during the last operation. The stone bullet attack from the opposite side caused five or six casualties among their riders.
This was mainly because the dragoon who was rushing in the front was knocked over, causing a "chain accident".
But what happened this time? The vanguard troops sent out to clear the way were only thirty in total, and in the blink of an eye, nearly half of them were killed?! The Lizardman leader quickly asked in detail.
"What on earth happened in the energy channel? The stone bullet attack from the opposite side shouldn't have such great lethality!"
Faced with this question, the velociraptor said...
"According to the vanguard troops, they encountered a very terrifying attack. The attack was very fast and had incredible lethality, piercing through their bodies in an instant."
“…”
This answer was completely beyond his expectations, and the Lizardman Leader didn't know what to say for a moment.
Because he had no idea that the other party had such means.
At the same time, he didn't think his subordinates would tell such a meaningless lie.
At this moment, the Lizardman Leader fell silent.
When moving in the energy channel, their situation will be relatively passive. If the opponent only has two stone bullets, it would be okay, but once it involves an attack with huge destructive power, he will have to think more about it.
Continue the attack, or give up for now? This decision would involve a lot of casualties. The Lizardman leader found that this matter was really not something he could decide, especially since he had already lost an entire cavalry unit in the previous operation.
"You! Go back and ask the high priest for instructions as quickly as possible. Go!"
In order to achieve efficiency, the Lizardman leader directly threw the dominoes as a token to a pterosaur rider and asked him to go back and deliver the message.
Riding on the pterosaur, the pterosaur rider soared into the sky, flew across the plains at the fastest speed, and then flew over the outskirts of the rainforest. After seeing the ancient temple located deep in the rainforest, he signaled the pterosaur to land in advance.
Among the lizardmen, the status of the temple is extremely high. Even the high priest can only walk in, and he, a pterosaur rider, is naturally no exception.
After the pterosaur landed, he was stopped by the temple guards outside and he quickly explained his purpose.
"There's a problem with the border war. I have urgent military information to report to the high priest!"
As the pterosaur rider spoke, he showed the dominoes of the Lizardman leader. After confirming that it was correct, the temple guards immediately let him pass. The pterosaur rider entered the outer hall at a speed as fast as a race walk.
The temple is divided into two floors, the inner and outer floors. The inner hall is used to worship their gods. Although the high priest has a respected status, he cannot enter easily. The outer hall is where the lizardmen who serve the gods live, so the high priest usually stays in the outer hall.
Walking into the hall, I saw a lizard man who was about two or three meters tall, fat, and covered with dark red scales, sitting on a chair that seemed to be made of metal. He was snoring and seemed to be dozing off.
Hearing the sound of the pterosaur rider coming in, the high priest slowly opened his eyes a tiny bit.
"What is it?"
With just one look, the invisible pressure made the pterosaur rider quickly lower his head, and then he respectfully reported the matter.
After hearing the report, the high priest frowned slightly.
"The rats in the south have been a bit restless lately. Tell Gruul to withdraw his troops for now and remain patient while waiting for the two pieces of the world to be pieced together."
"yes!"
In the Lizardman tribe, there is no such identity as 'Chief', or you can understand that the 'high priest' is equivalent to the head of the tribe, and is the Lizardman with the highest status in the tribe.
With the high priest's order, the pterosaur riders rushed back to the plains as quickly as possible and informed the lizardman leader Gruul.
Since the high priest had already spoken, Gruul had no room to disobey, but he was actually relieved.
An order was immediately issued to stop the attack and temporarily set up camp.
