Chapter 846: The Burning Village

For a full two hours, the Snow Mountain Druid was in such chaos that there was no way to organize an orderly, organized counterattack.

The assassins on their opposite side gave up hiding and assassinating at this time, and they gathered around the barrier in front of them, looking for a place to break through.

They didn't think it was too difficult, and that finding the weaknesses of the enchantment was something they had to do during the long training process, as they would have to fight long battles with the caster later in their assassination careers.

In order to assassinate a spellcaster, enchantments are a type of long-lasting defensive magic that must be addressed, and not only can be broken, but also without the other party noticing.

The enchantments of the Snow Mountain Druid are still very strong, and there are still many of them, and they are made up of various small enchantments to form a whole, and from the small whole to form a large whole, which is chaotic and complicated.

The assassins believed that even if they were not organized and did not need to be of this scale, they only needed to rely on their own strength to solve these snow-capped druids.

Despite this, according to the tradition of the Empire, the assassins divided into several different squads, attacked the barrier from different positions and angles, and when they managed to reach less than two hundred meters from the village.

The squabbling snowy mountain druids finally reached a consensus with the intervention of an old druid, and the old and weak women and children who had no combat effectiveness were sent to the previously built safe houses, and the rest of the people came to the front line, ready to control the barrier and counterattack the enemy.

The safe house has enough water and food, as well as several hidden passages to the outside, which ensures that even if the outside is undefensible, those who stay here can successfully escape.

In addition, the message for help was successfully sent out at the beginning, and they did not need to kill many enemies, as long as they could hold out until the reinforcements arrived, it was a victory.

Judging from the appearance of the invaders, this attack is an assassin who is hiding in the shadows to carry out assassinations, and frontal attacks are not their strong point, not to mention that they are still the Snow Mountain Druids who occupy the home advantage.

The beasts around the village began to gather in the direction of the village at this time, and they were originally allowed to live here and breed because of the agreement with these snow-capped druids, and it was time for them to fulfill the agreement.

No one would attempt to break these agreements at this time, not even the beasts, and the agreements signed with the caster were often etched in the soul, and the cost of breaking them was greater than the horror of death.

Although they have been reliable friends for thousands of years in the mouths of the druids of the snowy mountains, they cannot erase the imprisonment engraved in their souls.

The first to arrive at the battlefield are the Northland wolves, which are wolves with the blood of winter wolves, whose white fur allows them to hide well in the white world of the Norwegian mountains, making them dangerous predators of this forest.

Under normal circumstances, no one would want to encounter wolves in the forest, not even climbing a tree to avoid the threat, these intelligent wolves will bite off the tree and then swarm to enjoy the hearty food.

The intervention of the wolves did not move the assassins, who still broke the barrier in their way unhurriedly, and they did not even send people back to meet them.

It's not because of their self-confidence, it's that it's not necessary.

The wolves wandered not far away, the undulating howls of wolves made the whole environment gloomy, but it was only gloomy, they tried to charge, but they could not succeed in getting to the assassin's side, leaving behind a dozen corpses.

The barrier of the Snow Mountain Druid is still functioning normally, and without accurate guidance, these beasts will not be able to attack the assassins, and they will not be able to attack that barrier.

Obviously, the reinforcements were successfully harvested, but it was the side of the Snow Mountain Druid who fell into a difficult situation, and how to solve the dilemma faced by the Snow Mountain Druid became the primary problem of the Snow Mountain Druid.

Despite their confidence in victory and arrogance as spellcasters, the druids did not take lightly the threat of assassins from the Baltic Empire.

If the barrier is not released, then those reinforcements outside can only watch the battle between the two sides, and these so-called reinforcements have no way to intervene in the battlefield at all, and they are useless.

"Let those people in, our defenses can't do anything about them. ”

The old man, who had temporarily taken command, gritted his teeth and said.

He is a battle-hardened man, but because of his age, he can't continue to carry out the mission, and it is precisely because of his appearance that the snow mountain druid here temporarily put aside the dispute.

The young men around looked at each other, and they hesitated slightly, but they obeyed the old man's orders, and in any case they had to admit that they were inferior to the old man when it came to the war.

Like blooming flowers, the layers of enchantments dissipated in the eyes of the assassins, and they were so surprised that their movements paused slightly, because what happened was completely unexpected and unreasonable.

The wolves behind them grinded their teeth, and they ran quickly and crunched down in groups of three towards the lonely-looking assassins, their shiny fangs streaking silver in the air, aiming at human necks.

The neck is a human weakness, and it is also a difficult place for armor to protect, and a single hit can easily disable the assassin from fighting, and can even lead to their death.

It wasn't just silver that shone, but also red light with hot blood

I didn't see how the assassins were doing it clearly, and my eyes completely lost their original role at this moment, and even if I relied on my senses, I couldn't complete the capture.

Five or six thin red threads appeared on the wolves that were still in mid-air, and then the blood erupted like a fountain of eruptions, forming all sorts of strange shapes, and sprinkling on the white and flawless snow.

The wolves that rushed fastest fell to the ground without exception, and it was difficult to preserve even the intact corpses, but the following wolves did not feel fear, they bypassed the corpses of their companions, and launched a charge again.

It's not that I don't feel death hovering around me, it's just that the constraints of the soul make the survival instinct of the wolves suppressed in the bottom of my heart.

The eyes don't know when they turned scarlet, and the wolves who lived happily in the forest ended up in a war that didn't have much to do with them, and they died a meaningless death.

While the wolves were surging like the waves of the sea, the sky darkened at some point, and groups of flying animals launched one cry after another in the sky.

No one could tell how many species there were, and the air seemed dull as a black cloud, and breathing could be stopped by forgetting, enough to make ordinary people give up the despair of struggling.

Are these assassins who came here to attack the druids of the snowy mountains ordinary people?

Whoever you ask is likely to come to a negative conclusion

So, whether the birds and beasts gathered in the sky can inflict casualties on these assassins, no one can conclude before the incident

However, if you judge from the expressions of those assassins, then the conclusion drawn is also negative, their expressions are still so calm, and they regard the birds and beasts in the sky as nothing.

The screams are definitely not a good feeling

The wings of the wind, which extend from the shoulders, allow the assassins to soar freely through the sky

Just because the assassins have no talent for magic doesn't mean they can't use magic, and those expensive magic items from the empire can always bring them extraordinary changes.

The birds and beasts flapped their wings frantically, fighting back with their claws, beaks, and wings, even though they continued to rain downward, and soon the ground was covered with dead corpses.

The faces of the druids in the snowy mountains have become extremely pale, and there are many of them who have experienced battles and taken their lives, but there are not many people who have actually experienced the battlefield, and those who have seen the kind of scene like a meat grinder.

They were druids, the animals they were killing from the assassins, and they were their friends, some of whom could be called relatives, because their relationship with each other had been enhanced by their long relationship.

Among them, the lifespan of the pace exceeds 100 years, but unfortunately sometimes age does not mean combat effectiveness, especially in this land occupied by the snow-capped mountain druids, I don't know how many years there have been no enemies.

And those who have combat effectiveness and can bear the title of strong have already followed the main force of the Snow Mountain Druids to the front line, and plunged into a battle like a meat grinder, fighting against those enemies who are too strong to speak, and there is no victory in the battle.

"What are you thinking? Don't be in a daze!"

The first to recover from the shock was the old man who took command, and he slammed his staff against the rocky ground with a dull thud.

The surrounding druids came back to their senses, and they hurriedly attached auxiliary magic to their companions who were fighting on the front line, so as to increase the combat effectiveness of these animal companions as much as possible.

However, just when the situation seemed to be temporarily stable, the screams came from the crowd, and the druid, who was casting a spell, fell to the ground clutching his throat, and soon the blood stained the ground, the amplitude of the struggle decreased, and the breath of life dissipated from the body.

It was only an ordinary druid who died, but the death of this druid made the people around him panic, and they could no longer concentrate on providing support to those animal friends as before.

The terrible assassins came to them without them noticing, and succeeded in killing their companions, but what made them even more disturbing and frightened was that they had not noticed the assassins until now.

They didn't know if they were going to be the next target, and fear spread like a plague, and their steps began to move involuntarily, and the neat camp soon became loose.

These druids are not trained warriors after all, and they do not immediately take effective measures in the face of these sudden situations, but subconsciously follow the instincts of their bodies.

Suddenly, the screams returned, and the two young druids fell to the ground with pale faces, their fingers still wriggling in front of them, which made the atmosphere even more eerie.

The situation on this side soon affected the frontal battlefield, and the animals without the support of the druids were losing one after another, and the strength of the will could not erase the difference in combat effectiveness between the two sides.

The assassins are now covered in blood and limbs, and each of them is like a demon who has come out of a bloody battle, bringing death and terror.

At this time, these druids finally understood why Scandinavia was struggling under the iron cavalry of the Baltic Empire, and why the adults of the snow-capped druids would have a gloomy face every time they returned, and never mentioned the war outside.

Because there's no way to win

It was no longer known who had left his companion behind and turned to run away, but by the time the old man reacted and tried to stop him, he had been pushed to the ground, his clothes covered with footprints, and pain all over his body made him lose control of his body.

But no one could see that in the old man's pale pupils, which seemed to have no hope, the light that flickered through it, like the light of dawn that pierced the night and the dark clouds.

Obviously they didn't lose many people, and they still had the ability to fight to the death, but these snow-capped druids fled like this, leaving behind their companions who got along day and night, completely violating the druidic teachings they followed.

The assassins didn't chase the druids who had lost their fighting spirit, they first wanted to deal with these animals, which were more respectable than the druids of the snowy mountains because of the soul contract, which would never compromise and never escape.

The battle didn't last long, and when the druids of the snowy mountains turned and fled for fear of death, the war was indeed over, and all that was left was an innocuous harvest.

In this battle against the Snow Mountain Druid, there is a role that cannot be ignored, and it is precisely because of him that this raid, which was supposed to be difficult, ended so easily.

The old man who had been given command of the Snow Mountain Druid miscalculated the mentality of the young Snow Mountain Druids who stayed here at the beginning, and misjudged the ability of the assassin as an enemy.

After all, the sheep led by the sheep, in the face of the lion led by the lion, turning around and running away will only bring one-sided slaughter, so that the lions can enjoy the rare delicacy with satisfaction.

This village, which had been inherited for thousands of years, was destroyed, and in the raging flames, the name of the Snow Mountain Druid had to be added to the word remnant, just like the remnants of the Atilla that were now fading in popularity.

No, the inheritance of the Snow Mountain Druids will continue, and the knowledge collected by the Snow Mountain Druids for thousands of years will be stored in the Imperial Library, and it is conceivable that when the next year comes, there will be a new power system within the Druids within the Empire, and the Snow Mountain Druids with ice and snow as the main body will become an important part of the Imperial Druid System.
