Chapter 91: Troll Reinforcements

The advancing adventurers witnessed the scene before them, shocked by the lord's destructive power, and immediately lunged toward the isolated trolls.

Cunning as they were, the adventurers had no intention of engaging the trolls head-on.

They started with a barrage of ranged attacks.

Once the trolls had bled enough and were weakened,

They swarmed from the sides.

Chains were thrown, spears readied, and ropes with hooks tossed in unison. Even the most formidable trolls couldn't hold out forever and were forcibly dragged away.

The first time worked so well, it was quickly followed by a second.

After successfully capturing a few trolls, the adventurers grew bolder.

They circled around to the rear of the troll formation, targeting the isolated ranged trolls.

Although the trolls fought back fiercely, there was no way one troll could hold off dozens of adventurers. Within seconds, they were bound and restrained.

The trolls struggling in the water saw this enraging scene and roared furiously.

What normally took only a few breaths to cross the river now seemed impossibly vast and unreachable.

The adventurers, as expected, ignored the trolls with plenty of energy left in the water and focused on the ones engaged with the soldiers.

Flanking and overwhelming their enemies from the sides was far more satisfying than a direct confrontation.

Matthew, who had been actively casting spells, couldn't help but smile at the adventurers' keen tactics.

In just a few moments, another four or five trolls had been captured by the adventurers working together.

Peeking out from under Matthew's arm, Yaya glanced at the trolls being surrounded. Her bright eyes curved into crescent moons as she puzzled over the sight:

"Papa? I sense more trolls are coming from afar."

"Should I fly over and check? I promise I'll be very careful!"

Matthew's pupils contracted slightly. Shaking his head, he spoke in a low voice to Angela beside him:

"Pull back from the battlefield and reform the ranks."

Looking at the remaining 40 or so trolls, Angela knew that with three or four more minutes, they could kill or capture them all.

But if they retreated now, the adventurers would claim all the credit.

However, being smart, Angela quickly understood and decisively followed the lord's orders, shouting loudly:

"All soldiers, fall back ten steps! Pull back from the battlefield and reform the ranks!"

Though some soldiers didn't understand the reason,

Their daily training in obedience had ingrained in them the habit of following orders without question.

Without hesitation, they retreated from the battlefield, leaving the stubborn trolls to the eager adventurers swarming in.

As the soldiers reformed their ranks, under Angela's command, they charged at the trolls who had just emerged from the river.

This time, Matthew dispatched a squad of 20 armored barbarian soldiers to assist them.

These heavily armored barbarian soldiers had been itching for a fight.
