Freya bit her lip and watched the wolves gather in the canyon and then suddenly dispersed, revealing the things in the center. Those were several wolf corpses stacked on top of each other, and there were traces of fierce fighting scattered around the snowy ground. This was arranged in advance to ensure that You Xi could enter their optimal range.
After You Xi found these corpses, he walked over slowly as expected. The four-headed wolves, which are more massive and the size of a heavy war horse, surround him. That is the ghost of the winter that often appears in folk tales-the son of Esis, the pale son, in this forest far more than winter. The existence of wolves is even more terrifying.
"Are you sure?" Brende saw You Xi squat down beside those wolf corpses and began to examine the corpses. He heaved a sigh of relief and asked with his head sideways.
"You can try." Rollo replied.
After a simple question and answer, the folding sword knights made the final adjustments. They took a deep breath, held their breath to stabilize the hand holding the bow, and then slowly pushed the bow to the string. The bow creaks and creaks. The bows that are suitable for golden power levels are mostly magic bows. Only compound bows that have been processed by the laws of'strengthening' and'toughening' can withstand a hundred times the strength of ordinary people, but even In this way, every time the bow is opened, the life of the bow is still being consumed-this loss is irreversible-in Eruin, there are even 17,000 tol for the magic bow on the market, even if it comes from the royal family. In the workshops directly under the master, most of these bows have a service life of no more than a hundred bows. Each bow is almost equivalent to squandering gold coins that are as heavy as the bow.
The wind in the gorge had not yet started, and You Xi still didn’t notice it, but he looked up as if he had a natural sensitivity to danger. His subtle movements seemed to touch the tight nerves of the Cruz people. Little Pello looked at Fu. Leya, the latter nodded gently.
Freya let out a sigh of relief, as if trying to calm herself down.
"Shoot!" At almost the same moment, Nimesis gave an attack order in a cold voice.
The archers let go of the bowstrings one after another, and the force attached to the arrows is so great that when they leave the strings, they all make a deafening sound. Wherever it passes, the air current is turbulent, and it looks like space from a distance. Produce shocks in general.
The first arrow passed over the flanks of the winter wolves, and the whirlwind it brought up turned the wolves running wildly downside down. Under such an attack, You Xi had no time to react. He had just turned his head and the arrows had already flew. Arriving in front of him, over hundreds of yards, everyone can even see his panicked and unbelievable face.
The giant wolf beside him saved his life. The huge pale son jumped up and blocked the arrow’s path, and then was hit by an arrow on one side of the back, and the huge impact directly penetrated it. In the snow, a piece of snow splashed.
The arrow rain then fell.
The four pale children next to You Xi were shot into hedgehogs in an instant, but they at least bought time for the Marquis-sama so that he could finally realize what had happened.
He never dreamed that those cruz knights desperately dared to attack him. When he realized this, everything had become irreversible.
You Xi got down for the first time, and one swooped into the winter wolves. He tried to use cover to retreat to the other side of the canyon to find a shelter. But it’s a pity that the ambush point chosen by Pello and Nimesis for him is flat. The small group of winter wolves that surrounded him quickly fell one by one, and more winter wolves are still far away on the two wings or Has already chased into the canyon.
You Xi started to feel regret, maybe he shouldn't be so aggressive, but now it's too late to say anything. But when the wolves gradually became thinner, an arrow hit him. He screamed and fell into the snow. The arrow penetrated his left calf and directly nailed him to the ground.
If he is still alive, then he must be sweating profusely at the moment, but one of the benefits of the undead is that he loses the pain. You Xi hurriedly gritted his teeth and turned around, drew out the saber around his waist, and tried to cut off the long feather arrow that nailed him to the ground with a single sword.
At the same time, the wolves in the canyon finally found the attacker. The wolves in the wolves made a howling one after another. The wolves that were a little closer had begun to turn their heads and turned to the Cruz Knight on the cliff. They rushed.
The winter wolves that were a little closer rushed to Marquis Youxi, trying to protect their owner.
"Brend, Alea, lead the team to stop!" Freya stared at the winter wolves all over the mountains, and rushed towards their position like a reverse avalanche. This scene was so similar to what she had seen in Ampersel. , As if it happened yesterday. The Valkyrie shook hands with the saber, saying that there was no tension. This is absolutely impossible. After all, she was just a knight captain at that time. At this moment, every order of her determines that everyone present is buried here. Still escaped.
She held it so hard that her knuckles turned white because of the loss of blood, but she didn't notice it. Thousands of winter wolves are no more than a hundred feet away from them. At the speed of the winter wolf, it only takes two breaths to rush in front of them. The snowy wolves, every beast flashes with grinning teeth. The cold fangs are clearly visible.
"Rolo, get ready for the second round of shooting." Freya took a deep breath, and commanded with a steady voice as much as possible.
Rollo licked his lips. Even for the Cruz people, such a big scene is not often seen, not to mention that they are just'novices'. The battle before him even surpassed the battle that broke out last night, and when the wolves charged in the open terrain outside the forest, the momentum was definitely not the same.
A thin layer of oily sweat oozes out of everyone's hands, including him.
However, the training on weekdays worked. The young knights of the Cruz people raised their longbows neatly one after another. At the moment they opened their bows, the knights in the back row had taken up their shields and held their long swords, and left the second line. Ten paces listed a thin blocking formation, and it was Brende and Alea that took the lead.
The wolves are no more than fifty feet away.
The knights put down their long shields and inserted the pointed end of the shield into the snow, lowering the center of gravity of their bodies, ready to accept the impact.
Rollo squinted and raised the longbow in his hand a little higher. His line of sight had been raised, crossing a line of rushing wolves, and the cluster of arrows shining with cold light still aimed at the bottom of the canyon.
"put!"
Nimesis waited until all the archers were adjusted, and immediately gave the order.
At the same time, You Xi finally turned around and cut off the arrow stuck in his left leg with a sword. Although the undead didn't feel pain, it didn't mean that he would not be troubled by the pain. The passing of the soul power almost made him gasp. After he finished this, he didn't rush to escape. Instead, he dropped the long sword in his hand somewhat sullenly, turned over with difficulty, and then looked at the sky.
There was a gloomy light in You Xi's pale eyes, and the look inside was both madness and despair.
In his vision, above the sky, arrows fell like rain.
He opened his mouth, exposing Bai Sensen's teeth, as if making the last shout, but there was no sound. In almost an instant, more than twenty arrows pinned him to the ground along with the winter wolf that had just arrived.
You Xi held his head up, held on for the last moment, and then lay down sullenly.
…
The winter wolf and the knight's shield made a dull sound when they collided with each other. The impact of these beasts was so great that if it were ordinary human soldiers, they would have been blown away at this moment. When the Duke of Longblade fights the large-scale tundra wolves on the plateau, he often needs to arrange the soldiers in a large square formation of seven columns, which is far beyond the level of fighting heavy cavalry.
But the winter wolves faced extraordinary opponents. The dozens of Cruz knights in the front row all had the strength of the golden rank. In front of them, the winter wolves were not much different from ordinary wolves.
The knights used shields to lift away the wolves that came up, or nailed them to death in the snow with swords, and then took a step back and waited for the second attack. Unlike Alea, who was slashing and slashing, Brende carefully calculated the distance of their retreat. According to his calculation, they must insist on at least five rounds of attack. Before that, they must buy enough time, the more the better. .
But after the third impact, the Cruzite knights suddenly felt that their vision was empty, and the repulsed Winter Wolf didn't even rush up again.
"What's the matter?" Everyone subconsciously looked into the canyon below. In the mist, countless white beasts in the distance were running away.
Only at this moment did the archer behind him shout a cheer.
Little Pello, Nimesse, and Freya all watched nervously at the place where Youxi fell, because no one could say whether the Winter Wolf would leave after Youxi died. The only thing they can count on is that after losing the commander, the Winter Wolf will only have the instinct of the beast, at least it will not act in an orderly manner like an army.
It is undoubtedly a fantasy if you want to break the siege in a large army, but if the opponent is just a group of beasts that act by instinct, it may not be necessary.
But the facts are far better than their imagination. At the moment You Xi fell, although there were still a small number of winter wolves still attacking them, farther away, the large-scale wolves there had begun to hesitate. , Scattered signs.
The Cruz knights with long bows first noticed this sign and couldn't help cheering in unison.
Immediately, Pello couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He turned his head back, half relaxed and half lucky to congratulate Freya: "It seems we made a right bet, Commander."
Freya just nodded slightly, You Xi was dead, everyone saw it with their own eyes. The wolves are also disintegrating. Although there are still a small number of them still entangled in them, the number is not a threat to them at all compared with the overall number.
But even so, she was still a little worried.
There is only one problem. The premise they set ambush is if the silver monster is not with You Xi. What if the monster is lurking around? No one can say that this is bad.
Nimesis keenly felt the worries of her junior. She looked back at the latter and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Somewhat worried," Freya replied, "Senior Nimesis, I think we'd better leave here as soon as possible."
"Are you worried about that monster?" Little Pello also thought of this question: "But if it's here, it wouldn't be possible for Youxi to be ambushed by us?"
"I don't know," Freya shook her head slightly: "But I have a hunch that something is wrong."
"You are too nervous, Commander." Little Pello shook his head. He has received professional militarization training. For soldiers, a hunch is probably the most unbelievable thing.
But Nimesis was completely contrary to his judgment. The female knight frowned and asked: "Premonition? Have you missed something?"
Freya was slightly startled, she looked at her senior sister in surprise, she didn't expect that the other party would be so clear about what she was thinking. With this feeling, she always felt that she had missed something.
Nimesis stared at her without speaking. But if Brando is here, he will definitely be more vigilant.
The premonition of the Valkyrie is a very famous rumor in his world.
