"Captain, hostile targets have been detected."
Feng Kite lowered his voice and spoke to Lu Cheng.
Lu Cheng was responsible for monitoring the movements of the small group of cavalry inside the church, while Feng Zheng was responsible for observing whether there were any extra people lying in ambush outside the church.
In the end, the humans didn't see anything, but Kite saw a group of monsters surrounded by scarlet liquid.
The monster still had the appearance of a wolf-like creature, but its size was more than three times that of an ordinary timber wolf, and its height when standing up was enough to rival that of an ordinary human male.
If an ordinary person encounters a monster in the forest, even if he has a knife, he will probably be torn to pieces.
The problem is that there are more than one giant wolves walking out of the edge of the forest. There are eight that can be observed within Lucheng's sight.
The moment they walked out of the forest... the cute walking animals tied outside were frightened and made uneasy sounds like otters.
"Prepare to meet the enemy. Wait for my signal."
Lu Cheng didn't think that the group of giant wolves were here for a walk. They clearly smelled the presence of living things in the church.
The target they are targeting is this church...
Whether it was the road city hidden on the second floor of the church or the cavalry squad and refugees on the first floor of the church, they were all targets of attack by this giant wolf.
"The target is within range."
In this way, Feng Kite reminded Lu Cheng that it was time to give the order to open fire.
The pictorial on the side also looked at Lu Cheng with a puzzled look, as if asking, "How long do we have to wait before we can open fire?"
The group of giant wolves were less than 800 meters away from the church. If they started running, they could rush into the church in less than a few seconds.
As the wolves slowly approached the church, a sense of fear spread in the darkness...
Lu Cheng vaguely felt someone tugging at the corner of his clothes from behind, and subconsciously turned around and found it was Nuoyi.
She pursed her lips tightly, looking like she was about to cry, and her little hands tightly grasped Lu Cheng's clothes, as if only this could give her some comfort.
"Cover your ears."
Lu Cheng pointed to his ear with one finger to remind Nuoyi.
The sound of gunfire at this distance is enough to damage the eardrum, and Noy's body is too weak to withstand such loud gunfire.
Although Nuoyi was very scared, he still obediently covered his ears with his hands.
During this time, the leader of the cavalry team in the church had led his men out of the church to prepare to fight the giant wolves.
Only four people among the seven-man cavalry team were able to walk out of the church with weapons. It was questionable whether they could kill a giant wolf, let alone face an entire wolf pack.
For them... this battle was a fight to the death where they risked their lives but had no chance of winning.
But for Lucheng's team, this could only be regarded as a target practice.
… … …
"What are you still doing here?!"
Hubert looked back at the refugees in the church and asked them to leave this dangerous place as soon as possible.
But the refugees had no intention of running away. They all knelt down on the ruins, muttering something.
"Didn't you hear me?" Hubert angrily grabbed the leading refugee by the collar and shouted at him.
"Thunder... the God of Thunder will protect us... and..." the refugee said in fear, looking at the scenery outside the church, "Where can we run to?"
Where can we run to
These words made Hubert let go of the refugee. After breaking free, the refugee hugged his daughter tightly and continued to pray in a low voice.
In this situation, all they could do was pray to God. It was impossible to escape from those beasts.
But does praying to God help
Hubert held the spear tightly in his hand and slowly walked to the outside of the church on the ruins.
The only clear answer he could give was that it was useless!
If God really protected them, then his son, grandson and wife would not have died.
So Hubert didn't believe in the existence of God at all.
Hubert walked out of the church with his sword in hand without saying a word. He didn't even give orders to his soldiers.
Because no orders are meaningful now... What surprised Hubert was that there were still three soldiers who could fight with him to meet the enemy, including the seventeenth princess.
But that’s where it ends.
Hubert tightly grasped the sword in his hand and stared at the wolves slowly approaching them in the distance.
"General, this is your last battle, right?" whispered a soldier following Hubert.
"It's the last one."
Hubert answered the other party in a low voice, and the soldier smiled almost like relief when he heard this.
"It's not over yet! At least we're still alive now!"
Princess Elena's voice rang in the soldiers' ears. As the only girl in the army, she rode a walking beast to the front of the team and then pulled down the visor on her helmet.
"General Hubert, give the order." said Princess Elena.
How...naive.
General Hubert looked at the princess and this thought came to his mind, but soon he shouted out his most common words.
"Soldiers! Raise your spears!"
Hubert simply rode on the walking beast tied outside. In this situation, there was no point in hiding inside the building.
Moreover, he used to be the leader of the kingdom's first knight order... dying in a humiliating battle inside a building was an insult to him.
Hubert pulled down the visor on his helmet and pointed his spear at the group of giant wolves in the distance… He used all his strength and shouted the last order of his life in a voice so loud that his throat seemed to be torn apart.
"charge!"
Hubert suddenly swung the reins in his hand, and the walking beast let out a neighing sound and ran towards the giant wolf in the distance.
The three soldiers behind him also followed Hubert and rushed towards the group of giant wolves.
At this moment, the thought that emerged in Hubert's mind was, "It would be nice to die on the battlefield like this."
But God did not do as he wished. The beast under his crotch was suddenly frightened, stopped abruptly while running, and then raised its front hooves.
Hubert couldn't keep his balance and fell off the back of the walker and fell into the mud...
The frightened walking beast had already run in the opposite direction. The moment Hubert, who was lying on the ground, raised his head, the huge body of a giant wolf blocked his view.
Damn the gods, can’t even my wish of dying gloriously as a knight be fulfilled
Hubert stared at the giant wolf's fangs dripping with scarlet liquid, and suddenly heard... a deafening sound in the midst of despair.
The sound of... thunder
This was the first thought that popped into Hubert's mind, and the next second... the giant wolf's head in front of him suddenly exploded uncontrollably.
The scarlet liquid surrounding the giant wolf's head splashed onto the ground as the head shattered, and some of it even spilled onto the surface of Hubert's helmet, passing through the gap in the helmet and falling onto Hubert's cheek.
Thunder
Hubert stood up from the ground trembling, and the giant wolf that had lost its head fell silently at his feet.
