He taught these old men, children, and women how to make bows, arrows, and traps. . . and how to use them. . .
And he also taught these people some fighting skills. . . Don't look at it as a long-range attack as the Royal Fusiliers. . But just because this method is more effective in attacking enemies, it doesn't mean that they know nothing about melee combat. .
The melee combat skills of the Royal Guards were all taught by Lancer, the captain of the Royal Guards.
Similarly, the knights of the Royal Guards are good at close combat, and they are not ignorant of firearms, bows and arrows. On the contrary, there are many among these knights who are not inferior to those of the Royal Fusiliers, and it is precisely the person who teaches them all this. Richard, Captain of the Royal Fusiliers.
Now the men, women, and children in this village have some self-defense skills. . . And those hunters were also trained by him. . So what we have to do now is to wait for reinforcements from the Holy Light Empire. .
A few more days passed. . . He couldn't help but frown. . Why haven't reinforcements from Holy Light City arrived yet? . . And the three hunters he sent out didn't come back either. .
This evening. . The three hunters walked back along the mountain road. . .
It's a pity that they came back on their own. . There was not a single soldier behind them. . . But they did not come back in vain. . . Instead, he brought a lot of brand new arrows. . . He recognized these arrows. . . These are arrows made by the Royal Fusiliers. . . It is lighter than ordinary arrows. . Sharper. . . The damage is also greater. . .
After the three hunters came back, they told the man that although they arrived at Holy Light City this time, they did not see Captain Richard. . . Just met some commanders. . .
It turns out that the Holy Light Empire has received allies from afar. . The elves ask for help. . . So the Holy Light Empire gathered its troops and went to support them. . . The ones who stay. . Just enough for city defense and patrol. . . I really can't spare the time to reinforce them. .
Originally, these three people planned to stay here to see the situation. . . It's a pity that this is a war. . How can I tell the time accurately? . . These three people couldn't stay in Holy Light City for 5 days anymore. . They miss their village and their families all the time. . .
So in the end they chose to leave. . . The Royal Fusiliers could not afford to keep them either. . But the Royal Fusiliers couldn't send anyone there. . . But the supplies are still quite sufficient. . . So we opened the warehouse and let them pick out the ones they could help with. .
Originally, the Royal Fusiliers wanted to use a carriage to pull more goods. . But three hunters said. . On the other side is a mountainous area with icy peaks. . . The carriage couldn't get on at all. . . They can only carry it on their own. . .
So in the end they chose a lot of arrows. . . Then I remembered that the man had a small musket on him. . So I selected two cans of gunpowder from here and took them with me. . .
The Royal Fusiliers prepared some food and water for them to take with them on the road. . But they carry more arrows. . Only minimal amounts of food and water were taken. . They planned to catch wild animals to eat when they got hungry along the way. .
In this way, they walked all the way back, taking advantage of the cover of night. . Returned directly to the village. . . .
They told the people in the village about this. . Although the people in the village were a little discouraged. . But this is also an emergency situation. . It is definitely more important to support allies. .
The three hunters said they told the Royal Fusiliers the location of the village before leaving, and the Royal Fusiliers promised. . Once the reinforcements return and free up manpower, they will surely come to help. .
Then everyone started waiting. . . I hope the troops from Holy Light City will arrive soon. . .
But war is not as simple as they think. . . So they waited a long time. . No reinforcements arrived. . .
But they now face a dilemma. . . That means they are running out of food. . .
In order to ensure the safety of the villagers. . . Every time they go hunting there are more than 15 people. . This leaves what might have been 2-3 hunting teams. . Become 1 stick. . And to avoid encountering those monsters. . . He also narrowed the hunting range of the villagers a lot. . .
Although this can ensure safety. . But this is not a long-term solution. . There may only be so many animals nearby. . . Their reproduction rate is definitely not as fast as the needs of more than 200 people. . .
So these foods are becoming harder and harder to obtain. . . This forces the hunter team to go further. . . They may even take desperate risks to hunt some large beasts. . . . Only then can the survival of everyone in the village be guaranteed. .
at the same time. . Those monsters seized the opportunity. . Start frequent sneak attacks on these hunter teams. . Once he followed. . This was the first time I saw this creature face to face. . .
This thing is about 3 meters high. . Far beyond ordinary people. . And in good health. . . Same as humans. . Walk on both feet. . There are these two arms. . . But it's different from humans. . . Their bodies are covered with lots of fur. . . Just like a bear walking upright. . .
And they don't seem to have a voice of their own. . All by some weird yelling. . Let your companions do something. . .
But they are extremely dangerous. . Their strength, speed, and endurance are far beyond ordinary people. . . And can control the power of ice and snow. . . A strong wind blew. . It snowed and hailed heavily. . . Make these hunter teams miserable. . .
That is, they are all unarmed. . . No weapons. . That's why the hunter team can escape again and again. . .
But every time he escaped, he paid a heavy price. . People kept dying or getting hurt. . . Some minor injuries can be cured. . Some injuries are serious. . Either died on the way back or in the village. . Or become permanently disabled. . .
Over time. . He thought that this was not an option. . . It is becoming increasingly difficult to hunt prey. . And people continued to be injured and killed. . . These monsters want to fight a war of attrition with them. . . The reinforcements on the Holy Light City side are still gone. . . This continues. . Even if they are not killed by these monsters. . . They will also be starved to death. . .
He felt he couldn't go on like this. . . We must think of some way. . . Otherwise, it will definitely be slow death in the end. .
So he summoned the more combat-effective people in the village to hold a meeting. . Among them were the old man and the woman. . In fact, they are not very powerful people. . . The old man is one of the few people who is quite familiar with this place. . . And that woman was one of the few people in the village who knew medical skills. .
Everyone gathered inside his house. . He told everyone about the current situation. . Everyone also thinks it makes a lot of sense. . . If we maintain the status quo, we can only sit back and wait for death. . . Rather than this. . It's better to find a way to give it a try. . . Maybe there is still a glimmer of life. . . .
Originally he was the last person to want to do this. . . But now there is no other way. . . So they devised a plan. .
