"Why not? Is it that the rain hasn't stopped?"

"No, it's something else. ”

Just as Avril wanted to continue asking, a somewhat terrible wolf howl came from outside.

"Whew" "Whew"

Soon, the wolf howl rang out, and the two bears, which were acting as gates, writhed uneasily, as if they were about to get up and rush out in the next second.

"Sit down! you sit down!" came the bearded voice from outside. "You two big guys stay still for me, those wolves can't get in!"

Avril listened attentively, and her face quickly became solemn.

"Are we surrounded by wolves? I'm afraid there are a lot of them, maybe there are hundreds!"

William nodded. "Hans, they simply counted, there are about two hundred wolves, but there should be some hidden but not revealed, the total number will not be less than three hundred. ”

Avril nodded, returning to her usual shrewd and capable state, and she muttered for a moment before standing up.

"William, let's go out and have a look, this is just a small hill on the outskirts of the Twilight Mountains, it stands to reason that there shouldn't be so many wolves, this mountain forest can't provide food for so many wolves, something must be wrong. ”

William answered, put his sword back on his back, and pushed hard on the smaller bear butt on the left, pushing it twice hard.

Counting the attributes given by Knight LV1, William's strength reached 27 points, although it was not as good as Hans, who could fight with the bear, but it also surpassed most first-order professionals.

Feeling the thrust behind his buttocks, Papa Bear slowly moved forward, then leaned down to make way of the hole. Avril straightened her uniform and walked out with still sour steps.

The location where the two of them were just now was the innermost part of this cave, in fact, this cave was more than two meters high, and it was quite deep, in addition to the huge dog and bear family, more than thirty knights and more than thirty horses were actually more than enough.

"Her Majesty is well. A group of young knights bowed their heads and saluted.

Avril returned the salute and walked briskly to the real cave entrance, where the two knights were staring warily outside with their shields mounted and a smoking bonfire cracking around them.

Avril picked up a burning stick from the fire and threw it outside. The burning sticks tumbled twice in the air, illuminating the pitch-black forest.

She could clearly see that pairs of green fireflies flickered faintly, scattering quickly as the torches were thrown out, but still lingering around and refusing to leave.

"It's a bit of a hassle. Avril said softly, "These wolves have too dense fur to look like ordinary coyotes, and their coat color is much lighter than those coyotes, William, do you see their mouths clearly?"

"Wide, curved, snow wolves. William summed it up succinctly.

The knight who was on guard with a shield on the side said curiously: "Snow wolf? is it the kind of wolf that is said to be snow-white? When I look at them during the day, they are not pure white, and there are many gray-yellow wolves." ”

William kept an eye on the wolves outside the cave to prevent them from suddenly attacking Avril. Her Majesty smiled mildly and explained to the young knight, "The snow wolf's coat is indeed very white, but there are also many places on its body that are pale yellow, and the pure white body is called the snow wolf.

The snow wolf belongs to the first-order magical beast, and the snow wolf is just a beast, only the wolf king can have the combat power of ordinary first-order professionals, as for the gray and yellow ones you said, they should just be ordinary coyotes, and they are estimated to be native wolves absorbed by the migrating snow wolf pack. ”

The young knight nodded, and then said with some joy: "Lord Deputy Commander, since these wolves are just beasts, but we have three first-order professionals and a second-order Lord on our side, then these wolves are not a problem." ”

William stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder with emotion, shouting that people lead the deputy, there is no way forward, you kid has a narrow road, and at first glance, he has not been beaten by society.

"It's really not a problem, if we just rush into the wolves, we will be dead in about twenty minutes, and the trouble will only be troublesome for a while. ”

The young knight was so red at William's face that he bowed his head and didn't know what to say.

Avril gently grabbed William, and explained to the young knight in a warm voice: "These wolves still need to be taken seriously, although the strength is indeed not as strong as ours, but except for William, the rest of the people are knights, and they are more accustomed to fighting on horses, and it is very dangerous to face a pack of wolves that are nearly ten times more numerous on foot." ”

"But what you said is not entirely wrong, after all, we still have so many horses here, and it may be a good thing to be surrounded by wolves now, and if you are walking on a mountain road and suddenly attacked by wolves, it is really dangerous.

You two go in and call ten people, and by the way, Commander Hans will also be called, if these wolves can be killed, you must kill some first, so as not to cause problems later. ”

The young knight nodded sheepishly, and then went back to the bear's den with his companions to call for someone, and William and Avril who were standing at the entrance of the cave looked at each other with a sharp look, William's face remained the same as usual, and Avril was a little worried.

These wolves, though troublesome, are not unsolvable. The real question is why the snow wolves suddenly left the mountains and came to this uncomfortable environment.

This is usually the case where carnivorous monsters are infested, causing them to have to migrate. If that's the case, they might encounter more beasts in the future. The King of Franc is close to the Twilight Mountains, and the outer perimeter of the mountains is quite safe, but the further you go, the more dangerous it becomes, and if there are a large number of first-order demonic beasts in the herd of beasts that are forced to migrate, then continuing to go south will be a real disaster.

"Cousin, I'm here, are we going to kill the wolf?" said the bearded cousin, carrying two stones the size of a table, and walked over happily.

When William looked closely, he saw that it was not a yellow-white stone, but the shoulder blades of some large animal, and a skinned shield was rigidly tied with hemp rope inside, which looked quite strong.

"What is this? You're going to kill the wolf with this?"

The bearded cousin scratched his head. "Didn't I bring my shields, those small shields were too light to be easy to handle, and it just so happened that there were leftover roaring deer bones at the big black house, so I picked a few of the biggest ones to use first. ”

William nodded thoughtfully, he had seen this animal once, and when it stood up, it was estimated that it was as tall as a car, and its weight was a little lighter than the two bears, but it was limited, and the bones of this thing were particularly strong, and it was more than enough to be used as a shield.

He reached out and struck it hard, and the sound of his armor slamming against the bone shards seemed to hit a stone wall.

This thing is much thicker than a clenched fist, and it is estimated that it will curl the blade if you use a heavy sword to chop it. Wolves with claws and teeth meet this thing, and they can only be said to be unlucky.

"It's sturdy!"

"That's~" The bearded man happily raised his hand and knocked the two door panel-like bone fragments in the middle, and the hole suddenly kicked up a cloud of smoke and dust, almost blowing away the bonfire on one side.

"This thing is much stronger than my shield Shen! This weight! This thickness! Da Hei and his wife can't gnaw on their teeth, let alone a few wild wolves. ”

Inside the cave came the muffled roar of Papa Bear, as if he was agreeing in the air.

"That's right, you just stay here and guard the entrance to the cave. ”

"What?" the bearded man's eyes widened as big as bells. "Cousin, aren't you going to take me out to kill wolves?"

"What kind of wolf are you killing? Are you carrying these two things, will you be able to catch up with the wolf, or will the wolf be stupid enough to pounce on this thing? If you are in the way, will the people behind still be able to see things?"

The bearded man looked at the wolf outside, then at the shield the size of the door panel in his hand, and whispered hesitantly, "Shall I bring one?"

"Forget it, you'd better take care of this thing!"

William patted his bearded cousin on the shoulder. "Her Majesty the Queen is still here, you don't have to go out with us to kill wolves, as long as you can protect Her Majesty, it will be a great achievement. ”

Ignoring the bearded man's sigh, William took the greatsword off his back, turned to the ten young knights, and shouted:

"Everyone form a circle! Raise your shield! Don't rush to destroy the formation, don't blindly pursue killing, give priority to protecting yourself! If you can't bear it, you must speak immediately, and then retreat to the center of the formation in small steps. If you are thrown to the ground and the wolves leak out, you will not be the only one who will be killed!"
