Watching the enemy push up their crossbows, Guiao wave his hand, signaling for the three crossbows to fire.

After a few rounds of concentrated fire and a slight adjustment of the attack angle to confirm their aim, they decisively let the invaders taste their power.

Jeang Daong watching his two crossbows get destroyed was dumbfounded.

In an invasion battle, mutual attacks between crossbows leading to the destruction of the opposing players crossbows wasn't particularly unusual.

However, the problem was that he hadn't even entered the attack range yet, even taking advantage of the height of the city wall to extend the range.

It shouldn't be that exaggerated.

His crossbows were still over 100 m from entering the attack range.

Yet, the opposing crossbows had fired just like that, and they actually hit.

After a brief moment of confusion, Jeang Don's expression turned to one of disbelief.

Could it be that the enemy had maxed out their military equipment? How many military points would that take? Or do they have some skill or talent boosting it? Looking at the wreckage of his two crossbows, then glancing back at his thousand troops, Jeang Dong's facial muscles twitched.

Damn, this was a loss.

I need to retreat.

After a strong push back, Jeang Daong, who had no grudge against Lu Gi, didn't expect his luck to be so bad, randomly picking a tough opponent.

Now, his two crossbows were in ruins, and his thousand troops had no intention of getting involved further.

Civilization points were undoubtedly important, but troop strength was even more critical.

Whether in battle or defending against other players invasions, what mattered most was troop strength.

Without troops, what use were all those civilization points? To other players, wouldn't that just make him a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered? With this, Lu Gi was destined to make a wasted trip, but he was happy about it.

At this crucial moment, having just fought a bloody battle with the orc civilization, both sides suffered significant losses.

With the WS civilization's troop strength cut nearly in half, it was inevitable that he would face some difficulties.

He needed to recuperate and gather his strength, otherwise his troop strength would dwindle further, which was not a good sign.

Thus, this wave had to be stabilized.

Otherwise, there really was a risk of collapse.

Update delivered.

Thanks to book friend little cat for the reward.

End of this chapter.

Chapter 395.

Deep in the northern lands.

Meanwhile, in the northern forests, the wolfman army led by Liku was acting decisively and swiftly in a difficult terrain beneath their feet hardly affected them.

After advancing for a while, Liku, who was leading the way, suddenly sniffed the air, lowering his voice noticeably.

There's a strong smell of blood.

Hearing this, Zhao E, who had received orders from Logi to support Liku, furrowed his brow and glanced at the guide, Jzichuan.

We should be getting close to that tribal camp you mentioned, right? Yes, Ned Gra.

Human noses are nowhere near as keen as those of the wolf tribe.

Although he hadn't sensed anything, if what Lea said was true, then the tribe ahead might be in grave danger.

Should we continue forward? Lea cast an inquiring look at Zhao E.

After a few days together, he knew this human was quite intelligent.

And before setting out, Laji had instructed them to ask Zhao E for advice if they encountered any problems.

Of course, we need to keep moving, but let's go around from the other side.

Zhao, he pondered for a moment and made this decision.

He was somewhat concerned about directly confronting those hyena people.

Their main objective was to recruit the barbarian tribes, not to exterminate the hyena people.

Under this premise, it was better to be cautious.

As thoughts raced through his mind, Zhao he spoke again to be safe.

Let's have all the crossbowmen double check that their crossbows are loaded for this mission.

Aside from the main force of wolfmen, the human contingent consisted of 150 sword and shield soldiers plus 50 crossbowmen led by Zhao E.

Since they still had to defend the city, they couldn't send out too many troops at once.

However, the presence of the 50 crossbowmen indicated that this unit was quite formidable.

Laji had also given this serious consideration against the tough-kinned hyena people.

The crossbows would undoubtedly play a significant role.

Hence, he had sent out the newly assembled squad of 50 crossbowmen.

This showed that he was determined to succeed in this endeavor.

Even if they encountered the hyena people, he intended to push back hard.

Just as Zhao, he was preparing to lead the troops around.

Jizzy Chuan, who had been quietly following behind, suddenly took a couple steps forward and called out to him, "Wait a moment.

What is it, Zhao?" He looked surprised.

"Those monsters have a keen sense of smell.

They can probably detect our scent from quite a distance.

As he spoke, Jzichuan licked his finger and gauged the wind direction before saying, "The wind is blowing downwards now.

We should move against the wind to let it carry away our scent.

This will reduce the chance of being discovered.

" The valuable experience GZ Zichuan displayed was something only those who had survive in the wild would possess.

Although Zhao E was intelligent, he had always been a city person since birth, so he lacked experience in this regard.

Surprised by this insight, Zhao e nodded decisively.

All right, we'll go against the wind.

Everyone carefully lowered their movements, checking the wind direction as they circled towards the tribal camp.

Although this approach was time-consuming and labor intensive, in wilderness marching, stability and safety were paramount.

The smell of blood is getting stronger, Lea said quietly as he sniffed the air.

Clearly after their detour, they were getting close to the tribal camp.

Liku and Joe e simultaneously signaled their soldiers to raise their bronze shields and cautiously approached.

Pushing aside the underbrush, they quickly surveyed the unfamiliar camp which was drenched in blood.

No one could imagine a massacre this tribe had suffered.

It seemed the hyena people who had attacked this tribe had already left.

Liku sniffed again as if trying to discern the scent.

However, in a place recently soaked in blood and the stench of hyenas, even the keenest wolf nose was rendered ineffective.

Let us go take a look.

Zhao e confirming the time of day spoke slowly.

It was getting late, and if the hyena people had indeed left, they should rest in this ready-made tribal camp for the night and continue their exploration tomorrow.

Being cautious while deep in a northern forest was wise, but it didn't team mean they feared those wild hyena people.

Given their weapons and troop strength, no one thought they would lose in a fight.

Zhoi's choice was approved by Liku and the group slowly emerged from the cover of the trees.

As they entered the tribal camp, the heavy scent of blood hit them, constantly assaulting their senses, which was quite unpleasant.

However, in wilderness marching, having a ready-made camp was already a great advantage.

There was no need for too many considerations.

With this mindset, Zhao escan the tribal camp, seemingly searching for a relatively clean place for them to rest for the night.

At that moment, Jzichuan, walking at the back, suddenly felt a strong sense of unease rise within him.

His eyelids twitched as if we're telling something bad was about to happen.

There's danger.

Everyone be careful.

With a loud shout, the soldiers who had not completely relaxed instinctively tensed their nerves to the limit.

Then, as they scanned their surroundings, both Liku and Joe, he looked confused.

There were no signs of enemies in sight.

So, where was the danger? After marching through the mountains and forests, everyone was already quite fatigued, and Jzichuan, being a newcomer, inevitably caused some displeasure with a sudden alarm.

Just then, a rustling noise came from the surrounding bushes.

And in the blink of an eye, a dozen shadowy figures suddenly sprang out.

It's the hyena people.

Those bastards found us and are hiding nearby to ambush us.

Liku quickly identified the attackers and swiftly drew his dual blades, shouting, "Everyone prepare for battle.

" On the other side, Zhao e reacted quickly, rapidly directing the sword and shield soldiers to form a defensive formation while instructing the crossbowmen to fire directly.

50 crossbows unleashed a barrage at the charging hyena people.

And no matter how tough the hyena's skin was, could they really withstand the crossbow bolts? The first few hyena people at the front were instantly shot down.
