Chapter 486: Disadvantages

The Novgorodians who were found did not stop, they ran quietly on the snow, and fierce battles took place between them and the wolves, and ended very quickly.

Unable to occupy the numerical advantage, in the face of the vengeful wolves, it only lasted less than thirty minutes before they turned into corpses on the snow, and the warm blood flowing from the veins soon turned into red frost, and in the slight firelight, it glittered like rubies.

Although the wolves retreated very quickly, it was enough to prepare the bears and owls of the second line of defense, and with the roar of the bears and the sound of birds flapping their wings, countless black shadows appeared from the forest and quickly pounced on the Novgorodians.

Birds that can survive and move in this environment have more and thicker feathers than ordinary birds, which not only keep them warm, but also increase their flight balance, allowing them to fly in blizzards.

Of course, although it is said that it can also fly and has good balance, the disadvantage of slow flight is unavoidable, and maybe in normal times, in the forest, there is a tree shelter, which is not obvious.

However, when they left the forest and launched an attack on the Novgorodians, their slow flight speed became their fatal weakness, and the Novgorodians' axes already hit the slow-flying owls without much effort.

Yes, the throwing axe, this traditional long-range weapon that the Scandinavians loved to use, in the hands of the Novgorodians, these people with Scandinavian blood, a little bit of a kung fu was shot down.

And by the time they got close, before their sharp claws caught the eyes and heads of the Novgorodians, their weapons had already slashed at them.

Those heavy stone axes, in the hands of the Novgorodians, were more like smashing than chopping, directly slapping the owl into a cloud of blood mist in the air, and bones and flesh were scattered all over the ground.

The poor owls, who were not good at frontal combat, were better at flying in the air as scouts, but now they had to fight the powerful Novgorodians in areas where they were not good at the request of their so-called friends.

For twenty minutes, the owls, which had the advantage of flying, only persisted in this environment, and only lasted for twenty minutes, and in front of the Novgorodians, they could not even preserve their corpses, and from a distance, they could only recognize their identities from a few feathers.

Twenty minutes may not seem like a long time, but it is enough for the brown and white bears to prepare for the druids to join them and walk out of the forest.

The druids did not intend to turn the forest into a battlefield, partly because of the habit of not destroying the forest for many years, and partly because they did not want the battle to spread to their camp.

The camp also contained food, water and other things that needed to be brought back to Scandinavia, including tents, which could not sleep at night without tents to shelter them from the wind and snow and the cold.

The giant bear roared out of the forest on all fours, and the snow on the ground could not stop the bear's progress, and the rolling snowflakes turned into torrents behind them, rushing out towards the bloodied Novgorodians with a terrifying momentum.

As a result of the battle just now, the blood mixed with feathers stained their bodies, and when the cold wind blew, they turned into ugly ice crystals, and from a distance, these Novgorodians looked very embarrassed, and it was difficult to connect these people with the invincible warriors just now.

In a matter of seconds, the bear rushed in front of the Novgorodians, and they did not slow down their charge, but continued to rush forward, and their extreme speed allowed them to bring great strength, and if they were touched at all, their internal organs would be shattered and their bones would be broken.

The brown and white bears also shone with the glow of magic, and while the Novgorodians could not confirm the magic applied to them by these rays, they did not need to think too much about it as long as they killed it.

The intensity of the two battles just now was not fierce for the Novgorodians, not to mention the dead, even the wounded were few, only three unlucky guys were cut by the owl's talons and shed some blood.

The giant bear is indeed very powerful, with a height of nearly three meters, a weight of several tons, and the power to easily push down trees, all of which show that these giant beasts are worthy of the identity of predators standing at the apex of the northern continent.

However, their opponents are also very powerful, with Scandinavian blood flowing in their bodies, even if they have lived in the Rus steppe for many years, they have become Novgorodians, and their beliefs, habits, etc. have changed a lot, but the only thing that has not changed is the powerful combat power hidden in the body.

I saw several Novgorodians standing at the front of the team roar angrily, and the already sturdy body swelled a few times, the loose clothes on the body were tensed by pieces of muscles, and under the pale skin, the bright red color spread rapidly.

Frenzy

The ability inherited from the bloodline reappeared in the northern continent in the region ruled by Atira, and with this ability, the Scandinavians twice repelled Atera's attacks.

Bumper bumper

Don't dodge, don't dodge, don't dodge

With all their strength, the berserk warrior collided with the charging giant bear, and the huge beast and the skinny human seemed to have a huge gap.

As a result, the two, who have a huge gap, are equal in strength, no, it should be the emaciated humans who have the upper hand, because the giant bear still has the buff magic applied by the druid, and they also have the bonus of charging.

"Damn, those traitors!"

In the minds of these druids who believe in the gods of the Aesirs, as long as they have the blood of the Scandinavians in their bodies, but do not believe in the gods of the Asirians, they are all traitors who must be cleaned up.

Some of these druids, who are fanatical believers in the Aesirs, also believe that there is no need for creatures who do not believe in their gods to survive in this world, and that the world will become a better place if all the heretics are killed.

Anger began to appear in the hearts of the druids, who had found it difficult to think calmly about other things, and only wanted to use great magic, with the fastest speed, and with the most cruel methods, to kill these traitors who had turned their backs on the Aesir gods.

It's understandable to think about the druid's anger, after all, not everyone can stay calm when they are attacked by someone else while they are asleep, and these attackers are still traitors.

"Prepare your magic to stop their work and leave it to me. ”

After a quick command, the young man, who did not know that he had been read by Alice and had revealed his secret, calmly instructed his companions around him.

No matter what kind of ideas he has, no matter what kind of attitude he has towards Siegel, how much he looks down on the conservative faction in the Snow Mountain Druids, the three views shaped by his education from childhood to adulthood, the gods he believes in, his own interests, everything is prompting him to use all his strength at this time.

The healing magic was applied to the giant bears who had fought the Novgorodians, and their wounds were restored as fast as the eye could see, and the minor wounds healed quickly, the broken bones were reconnected, and the broken internal organs were restored.

In just a few breaths, the giant bear returned to the stage of vitality and rejoined the battle, wielding the bear paw to slap the enemy's head hard, with the whirring wind of the bear's paw, it can easily smash hard stones, if it hits the human head, the result will not be much better than the smashed stone.

Among the Novgorodians there was a man who had died in battle, a man who had just come out of his frenzy and was slapped by a giant bear when he was weak, and Tengfeng's body was like a swallow without weight, and he was smashed into the snow.

The corpse, which still remained in human form, had become loose and loose, and the bones inside were exercised inch by inch, and warm blood was still flowing from his nose, mouth, ears, and eyes, forming a pool of blood under him, and it was quickly frozen in the cold wind.

Also a member of the Scandinavians, the Snow Mountain Druids certainly know what it is like to go berserk, and they also know what methods to use most efficiently to deal with enemies who have entered a state of madness.

That's why they let the thick-skinned bears fight their enemies, rather than using magic to destroy their enemies.

Of course, if they don't have to worry about the lives of their friends, those giant bears, then the best way is to use [Bloodthirsty Thaumaturgy] on the enemy who has gone berserk, and on the other hand use [Bloodthirsty Thaumaturgy] to overdraw the life force of the giant bear, so that they can temporarily gain strong strength to fight the enemy.

Although inflicting [Bloodthirsty Thaumaturgy] on the enemy will make the enemy's combat power very terrifying, the same load on the body will become greater, and the duration will be drastically reduced.

The human body can compete with the giant bear, but the life force contained in it cannot be compared to the latter, the giant bear can carry out high-intensity combat under the effect of [Bloodthirsty Thaumaturgy], which lasts for half an hour, while the mad Novgorodians only have one or two minutes.

Compared with the pure Scandinavians, the Novgorodians still have a certain gap in this regard, because of intermarriage with other races, the power in their blood is diluted, and the power obtained is certainly not comparable to that of the Scandinavians, and the same is true for the time of madness.

The Novgorodians began to retreat, trying to keep a certain distance from the bear, attacking with throwing axes, and dodging attacks with small bodies and nimble footwork.

Because they have discovered that it is indeed not a wise habit to fight the bears head-on with the support of the caster, the Novgorodians are not Scandinavians and do not have their strange concept of combat, although they have Scandinavian blood in their veins.

Of course, if they can, they also prefer to engage in frontal combat with the enemy, tearing apart all the enemies in front of them with great force...... It's a pity that they can't do that now, and those stone-beaten and sharpened axes and sledgehammers in their hands are hardly able to do anything in the face of a giant bear with thick fur and thick fat, and it is difficult to do any harm to the other side.

In addition, in terms of spellcasters, the Novgorodians are also at an absolute disadvantage, as a place where there is a shortage of spellcasters in the north, only five casters were born among tens of thousands of Novgorodians, and for some well-known reasons, the strength of these five spellcasters is not very strong, and the strongest one has not even touched the threshold of legend.

Therefore, these precious spellcasters, even if they participated in this revenge battle against the druids of the Snow Mountain, they did not dare to get too close to the battlefield, and only dared to use healing magic as much as possible far away to heal the wounded warriors.

There is no way, the caster is a valuable treasure in the tribe, even if the army in front of them is badly damaged in battle, they don't joke with their lives.

It's not that they're selfish, it's that in such a tribe, their lives don't belong to them anymore, and if they die here, it will be a heavy blow for the Novgorodians who may not be able to recover for more than ten years.

The situation on the battlefield began to tilt after the battle between the giant bear and the snowy mountain druid, and the lives of one Novgorod were left in the snow, with the unquenched flame in their eyes, staring at the gray sky without the sun and unwilling to close their eyes.

The leader of the Novgorodians, Rurik, who was already covered in blood, was the most powerful of the Novgorodians, and even with his treasured weapons, he could only kill three giant bears.

He's done his best, no, Rurik he's fought desperately, but it's not just the siege of the giant bear, but also the snowy mountain druid who uses Aoko to attack him with magic.

There was also a black wound on his shoulder, with scorch marks around the wound, which had been pierced by a distant druid with a [Scorching Ray] during the battle with the Giant Bear.

There is no way, in such a chaotic battlefield, even if he has a sense beyond ordinary people, Rurik can't be comprehensive and unscathed, if he didn't fight to get injured just now to block the attack of the giant bear, then another companion would die in front of him.

"It's time for this battle to end. ”

Staring at the Novgorodians who were still struggling, the leader of the druids, the young man said coldly.
