The sixth day.
After breakfast, Zhijin faced the crowd and said, "we have just finished eating the remaining rations."
Everyone stood upright in silence, and was fully prepared for the result.
In front of the crowd, Zhen Jin's eyes were sharp and glanced at the crowd.
"Now, who else doesn't understand our situation, step forward!"
No one moved, standing still.
Everyone's face was grim, and there seemed to be hot magma hidden in his high chest - it was a long stored sense of war, a strong desire to survive!
"Good. Everyone is smart and knows what we will face if we lose."
"These days, cyanobacteria has carried out a comprehensive investigation, and there is no more suitable target nearby except for flying rats."
"Today, if we defeat them, they are our food. If we fail, we are their food."
"I, needle gold, as a temple knight and the only heir of the hundred needle family, will be with you. I will lead you through difficulties, obstacles and harvest victory. Follow me and let us gain glory!"
Morale is strong and unity of purpose is the city.
The team set out.
Soon, they arrived at the scheduled battlefield.
This battlefield is carefully arranged, and the most prominent is the short obstacles made up of vines and bamboo branches.
These obstacles are connected one by one, forming a long defense line.
If flying rats want to cross the line of defense, they have to fly. This gives the players a good chance to shoot.
There are three lines of defense.
Under normal circumstances, the river is a natural obstacle, and does not need human labor to decorate, which is the best.
But for one thing, there is no river nearby. Second, the river on this island is also dangerous, often lurking Python ivy. This kind of golden level magic plant has not only been touched by needle gold, but also by Cang Xu, the exploration team, for several times, at the price of blood.
Under the command of Zhen Jin, cyanobacteria walked alone, and her back soon disappeared in the sight of everyone.
Most people formed a battle line. The battle formation is very simple, that is, it is arranged in a horizontal row. Such an array is convenient for long-range firepower.
Cang Xu and Zi Di stood behind the horizontal row, on the side of needle gold.
Needle gold began to pray silently.
"Emperor Shengming, my God, you are wise and powerful, and you can always grasp the victory in the battlefield. You are the God of knights, the God of war, and the God of victory. Please bless me to win. I will add a trace of luster to your throne with faith and glory, and with the blood of my mortal enemy. God, please listen to my call..."
The gods did not respond.
Needle gold sighed secretly.
Usually, when facing battle, the Knights Templar will pray. Emperor Shengming will basically respond by giving divine magic to the Knights Templar.
But since Zhen Jin woke up, he prayed many times, and Emperor Shengming did not respond.
It is precisely because of this that Zhen Jin did not pray in public. Because once there is no magic coming, it will inevitably create a bad impression on others, and feel that the temple Knight needle gold cannot get the favor and protection of the gods. In this way, the morale of our side will be hit and shaken before the war begins.
The current results are not beyond the expectation of Zhijin. He was also grateful for his wise choice.
The morning sun shines from the morning glow.
The forest was gradually bathed in the sun, and the deep dark green slowly became bright.
The air is still cold, and everyone can spit out white fog visible to the naked eye when breathing.
As time goes on, the chirping of birds becomes more and more.
Suddenly, a flock of birds fluttered from the front, broke away from the canopy and flew into the air.
The figure of cyanobacteria appeared in front of everyone again.
He was rushing with all his strength, and behind him were a large group of flying rats, squeaking and screaming, many of which gave off the smell of bronze Warcraft.
The front line stirred slightly, and immediately returned to silence.
Needle gold's eyes flashed a fine light quickly, and her spirit was slightly refreshed - cyanobacteria provoked this time, and the result was very successful.
At the next moment, Zhen Jin shouted, "ready!"
The explorers were already ready. When they heard the sound, they immediately drew out the arrows and put them on the bowstring with the same action.
They drew their bows one after another, but did not send them.
"Shoot." Needle gold shouted again.
The team members immediately let go. In an instant, the bowstring vibrated, and all the arrows flew out.
Cyanobacteria's footsteps did not stop. Seeing the arrow flying, he immediately fell to the ground and rolled with the trend.
A flying rat head threw himself into the air and hit the ground. Turf and small pieces of soil splashed everywhere, and immediately hit a small mud pit.
Cyanobacteria quickly got up along the tumbling inertia. This time, he had raised his shield in his hand.
This shield has been prepared for a long time, and it is placed on the ground.
There was no arrow on the shield of cyanobacteria, and the arrow curtain gathered into one layer, screening out many flying rats.
A flying rat head pounced on the back of cyanobacteria.
When cyanobacteria heard the movement, she suddenly turned around and swept with her shield. With a bang, she swept away the flying mouse directly.
"Prepare - shoot!" Seeing the opportunity for the flying rat to cross the vine barrier, Zhen Jin shouted again.
A dozen arrows once again formed a thin arrow curtain. Among them are several short iron arrows shot by crossbows.
The arrow curtain crossed a gentle arc in midair and landed accurately in the flying rats.
Several wooden arrows shot at the shield of cyanobacteria and the leather armor on their bodies, causing no damage to the latter.
Bows and crossbows are in the hands of people who are good at shooting, and they will not shoot at cyanobacteria.
The rest of the arrows are made of wood. There is no iron arrow, but the front end of the wooden arrow shaft is burned black and sharpened after carbonization.
Of course, these arrows can't cause much damage to the cyanobacteria, and they won't pose much threat to the flying rat leader. But it can kill ordinary flying rats.
Under this layer of arrow curtain, many flying rats fell to the ground, some died on the spot, some were injured and screamed.
After two shots, more than a dozen flying rats have lost their combat effectiveness and fell on the way of charging.
The flying rats began to scatter.
Most are still chasing cyanobacteria, and a few are directly attacking the position.
"Ready." Needle gold said again, "shoot!"
In the third volley, the movements of the crowd began to be uneven. Although the arrow curtain was formed in midair, it was obviously not as neat and dense as before.
But at this time, due to the close distance between the two sides, the killing effect of the arrow on the rats is still not small.
White bud and yellow algae simultaneously aimed at the flying rat leader with a crossbow.
Although the first mouse was hit by an arrow, it was only frustrated in its action and was not injured. Instead, it was stimulated to be fierce, and its speed was a little faster.
There are two rats in all.
One identified the cyanobacteria, and the other rushed to the front.
"Free war." After the order of Zhen Jin, he immediately took out the dagger, made a sudden effort with his arms, and threw his hands together!
The two flying mouse heads were stabbed by a dagger almost at the same time. After falling to the ground, they rolled around due to inertia, and then did not move. Bright red blood quickly flowed out of the fatal wound in the orbit and spread on the surrounding grass.
This distance has reached the range of the attack of the needle golden flying dagger.
Needle gold's physical quality is amazing, and the strength of arm shaking throwing is much stronger than crossbow.
Without the head rat, the rats immediately fell into panic. The team members shot freely. Only a few flying rats rushed in front of the team members, and then they were stabbed to death by several wooden guns.
After a little struggle, the few remaining flying rats scattered around.
"Hoo... We won."
"The two flying mouse leaders died in the hands of Lord Zhijin."
"Your majesty!"
Cyanobacteria returned with a shield.
Wooden arrows were inserted on the shield and his shoulder armor.
Needle gold just glanced slightly and knew that cyanobacteria was not injured at all. He patted cyanobacteria on the shoulder: "it's done well."
"Everything depends on the command of adults." Cyanobacteria bent down and bowed his head respectfully.
Everyone knows that the key to victory in this war is still needle gold. His skill of flying dagger was amazing, and at the same time, he solved the two most threatening flying rat leaders, completely breaking the morale of the rat group.
"Rest a little, and we'll continue hunting." Needle gold orders.
"Yes, my Lord!" The team members responded with a roar, and their morale rose a little higher than before the war.
Everyone's eyes on Zhen Jin have become different from before.
Before, people still had doubts and worries in their hearts. After all, everyone knew that needle gold was betting on hunting rats.
No one knows what will happen. Even if the needle gold has the status of noble and Templar Knight, it cannot guarantee the success of hunting.
If it fails, the whole exploration team will collapse. As a leader, the needle gold will bear the unshirkable primary responsibility.
Now, the first official hunting victory has swept away the worries in the hearts of everyone. Before, I still had doubts about the decision of Zhijin, but now I think it is wise and decisive.
"Lord Zhijin is a Templar after all!" Bai Ya's eyes sparkled.
"Yes, I'm really lucky to be under the command of Lord Zhijin." Huang Zao sighed endlessly.
"Follow Lord Zhen Jin, we will be able to set sail again."
Everyone whispered and looked at Zhen Jin with reverence.
A small victory made them really recognize the leadership of Zhijin.
Because needle gold has initially realized its promise, and can really lead them to victory and harvest glory, it is not just talk.
"My Lord, I knew all this was not a problem for you at all." Zidi beside her also smiled, with a trace of love in her eyes.
Cang must spit out a mouthful of turbid air and secretly said, "in this way, the whole exploration team will turn the tide."
The previous situation was like being on the edge of a cliff, with one foot hanging in the air.
Now a complete victory, although the food was not supplemented much, but the result cleared everyone's worries, and the whole team was close, closely surrounding the only core of needle gold.
However, when the morale was high and the celebration was encouraging, suddenly there was a strange noise from the forest in the distance.
The sound of squeaking is dense and continuous.
The fleeing flying rat has attracted a large army!
"Ah, a lot of flying rats, they rushed over."
"How could so many flying rats be disturbed?"
"We're just outside!"
For a time, the exploration team was in a panic.
"Hahaha!" Zhen Jin suddenly laughed.
