Volume 4 The Burning Prairie Chapter 104 Retreat
Senna had already gotten up from the ground by this time, and when he saw the battle between Steel Rock and Blade, he couldn't help but change color. Having fought with the blade, he knew that the werewolf in front of him had amazing strength, and he yelled anxiously, "Steel Rock, be careful, don't fight him. He lunged at the back of the blade. During the pounce, Senna quickly changed from a slower bear form to a swift leopard form, and also unleashed a 'thorn winding' magic.
Still, he couldn't stop Steelrock from fighting Blade.
The moment the fists of the werewolf boy and the half-orc warrior collided, a sound of bones shattering came, and then the half-orc warrior let out a miserable scream, and his originally strong right arm instantly became soft and weakly swung to the right side of his body. After the sharp blade punched off the orc warrior's right arm, the remnants of the momentum were still gone, and the half-orc warrior was hit hard in the chest, even denting his breastplate. Under this punch, the huge body of the half-orc warrior involuntarily flew upside down from the back of the Kodo beast, fell backwards seven or eight meters away, and fell to the ground on all sides, and after slamming out a mouthful of blood, there was no movement.
Just as the blade was about to step forward, intending to kill the orc warrior once and for all, several thorny vines burst out of the ground and wrapped firmly around his legs.
The blade bent and slashed the thorny vines on his legs with a swing of his claws, but after a brief delay, Senna's transformed Nightblade Panther had quietly arrived behind the blade. Before the blade could stand up straight, it ate the claw of the Nightblade Leopard. He snorted, and the armor on his back was cut by a blow, leaving several long blood marks on his fur.
The blade is reflexively a claw, but it grabs the air with a claw. After the Nightblade Leopard wounded the blade, he did not fall in love, but jumped to the side of Steel Rock, his body blurred for a while, and then changed back to his elven form. Senna lifted the orc whose life and death were unknown on the ground, carried it on his back, and shouted: "Stick your hands, everyone withdraw first!"
The mercenary, who was fighting with the wolf cavalry, immediately turned his mount when he heard Senna's shout, leaned over to pick up the corpse of his fallen comrade, and retreated without hesitation. The wolf cavalry was about to instigate the wolf to pursue, when they saw Senna chanting a spell at a very fast speed, and a thorny jungle instantly grew on the ground, covering an area of tens of meters, blocking the way of the wolf cavalry.
Senna then put his finger in his mouth and whistled to summon his mount, the White Tiger, who was battling the Roar of Hell, out of the battle and drive him away from the battlefield. However, in the battle with the ferocious Demon Spotted Hyena King, the white tiger was already covered in bruises, and his snow-white fur had also been dyed red. After hearing the master's call, the white tiger staggered and just wanted to turn away, but was bitten on the neck by the Demon Spotted Hyena King. After struggling in vain for a few moments, the white tiger let out a wail, and finally drooped his head limply.
Seeing his mount dead, Senna was stunned. Then he stopped staying, turned around and left. Despite the weight of the orc warrior on his back, Senna was still running extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the night.
When the wolf cavalry cleaned the thorns under their feet and tried to pursue again, the mercenaries had already run away.
Dayan Tie's face was blue, and his right hand, which was holding the blood-dripping battle knife, was trembling. At the joint of his elbow, where the armor had not covered, there was a narrow wound that almost broke the tendons, left for him by one of the human thieves among the mercenaries. Of course, he didn't make the human thief any better, and slashed him in the calf, and the collateral effect of the knife was enough for the human thief to drink a good pot. The reason why Dayan's hands kept shaking was half because he was affected by the injury, but more because of the anger that pressed on his heart and had nowhere to vent.
The mercenary's attack begins and ends suddenly. This whirlwind fighting style was originally what their wolf cavalry was good at, but they didn't expect it to appear on the mercenaries this time. The battle did not last long, but the result can be described as tragic. As a result of this attack, three wolf cavalrymen of Dayan's squad were killed, two wolf cavalry were seriously wounded, and the remaining fifteen wolf cavalrymen were also wounded. And the number of mercenaries killed in the battle was only four or five, and the near-flat battle loss ratio made Dayan completely unacceptable.
Dayan glanced at the disorganized camp without saying a word, and suddenly, his gaze froze, and the figure of Edric appeared in his sight.
"Damn humanity, it's because of you that I've lost three heroic warriors. Dayan snarled at Edric. In this fight, Edric is the only one on the Werewolf side who does not have a draw. Born as a thief, he is indeed flexible, and in the chaotic battlefield, his whereabouts are erratic and unpredictable, and he has successfully evaded the pursuit of mercenaries again and again. Even if a mercenary adorned him, he was intercepted by the wolf cavalry next to him. Because the task given by the wing was to ensure that he reached the Boulder Fort unscathed. The wolf cavalry had to sacrifice their lives to protect this mercenary traitor whom they could not beat at all. Two of the three wolf cavalrymen who died were killed because they helped him stop the mercenaries who were chasing him. One of the wolf cavalry was smashed in the head with a hammer by the dwarf who appeared during the day, and the other wolf cavalry was split in half with a giant axe by the orc who was later wounded in the hands of the blade.
In the face of Dayan's scolding, Edric was also on fire, and he wanted to refute, but when he found that all the wolf cavalry around him were looking at him with a look that wanted to tear him apart, his mouth twitched twice, and he didn't spit out a word after all.
The more he thought about it, the more indignant he became, and the sword in his hand slammed into the ground, and he let out an angry howl when he looked up to the sky. Immediately afterward, one howl after another rang out in the camp. The werewolf warriors raised their heads one after another and howled at the moon, venting their anger and unwillingness in their hearts.
In the camp, the torches that fell to the ground when the mercenaries retreated were still burning violently, and the faces that were fanged with anger became more and more hideous in the light of the fire.
There is no doubt that if any mercenaries fall into the hands of this group of werewolf warriors who are in the midst of rage, they will be torn to shreds.
"Captain, those mercenaries haven't been gone for long, we'll chase them now, and we can catch up with them!" said one of the werewolf warriors in a voice that bordered on roaring.
Dayan's face was gloomy, and instead of immediately responding to the werewolf warrior, he fell into thought. Werewolves are masters of tracking, and it won't be too difficult to catch up with the retreating mercenaries in the dark. However, what can we do if we catch up? The combat effectiveness of that group of mercenaries is not inferior to that of their own side, and if they are not careful, the final result will be the total annihilation of their own army. Of course, neither he, nor the warriors under him, lacked courage or fear death. The pride of the warrior prompted Dayan to catch up and fight the mercenaries to the death. Now, however, they have a mission, and it is imperative that they complete it. Thinking of this, Dayan glanced at Edric with disgust again. Naturally, Edric once again witnessed the naked unkind gaze of the werewolf team leader. However, deep down, although he had already greeted the other party's ancestors for eighteen generations, there was a look on his face that did not squint, pretending not to see it.
In the end, Dayan made up his mind not to actively pursue the mercenaries, but to set off for Boulder Castle overnight, and if the mercenaries continued to follow the attack, then wait for the rabbit to fight them again.
At this time, the sharp blade suddenly spoke on the side: "Captain, if you let these mercenaries go unattended, and wait for them to rest tonight, won't it be a big trouble tomorrow?"
The voice of the blade was not loud, but every wolf cavalry present could hear it clearly, and many of them suddenly became eager to try. Dayan also understood the meaning of Blade's words. Although this group of mercenaries has a complex race, humans account for the vast majority, and humans are not as physically strong as werewolves, and they have no sleep all night, and their impact on human combat effectiveness is far greater than that of werewolves. After a battle tonight, both sides are tired, and the wolf cavalry can still travel overnight by virtue of their physical advantage, but if this group of mercenaries rests in the second half of the night, once they can successfully catch up tomorrow, the situation will become unfavorable for the wolf cavalry. The blade is clearly going to harass the mercenaries and make them restless. Even if the two sides do fight again tomorrow, neither of them will have the advantage of having a good rest.
Dayan also agreed with Blade's proposal, and immediately said, "Broken Claw, a few more people will go with you!
"No, I'll just go alone. Blade refused.
When he saw Dayan's brows furrow slightly, Blade explained, "Among that group of mercenaries, that black elf is indeed a master. Except for me, who can fight him, the rest of our squad is no match for him. If I will harass those mercenaries, I will definitely meet him, and only I can get out of his hands. ”
Dayan was silent.
In the previous battle, he had also seen Senna's skills. Although he believes that with the strength shown by Senna, it is completely impossible to confirm the rumors that he can kill the captain of Rosen United. But he also had to admit that he was no match for Senna at all, including the warriors under his own command - except for the blade.
Today, if it weren't for the sharp blade that entangled Senna at the beginning, so that the druids who cultivated the magic and martial arts could not play a role in magic - blessed the mercenaries with auxiliary magic and cast powerful attack magic on the werewolves, then in this battle, it is not certain who will die. Perhaps the result would not be that the mercenaries were repulsed, but that the wolf cavalry squad was annihilated.
Eventually, Dayan agreed to Blade's request, and he was left alone to harass the mercenaries.
As the Blade roared into Hell and was about to leave, Dayan stopped him again.
"Clawbreaker, continue!" Dayan raised his hand and tossed his sword at the blade. Blade reached out and caught the sword.
It turned out that the blade's war knife had been broken in the battle with Senna just now, and Dayan saw that he was barehanded, so he gave him his own war knife.
"Use my knife to slaughter a few more of those pieces for me!" Dayangmu said expressionlessly.
The blade plunged the knife into his waist, and then clenched his right hand into a fist, slamming his own heart. This is how orcs express their commitment.
The Blade rode away on the Hell's Roar. Before leaving, he leaned over and picked up Senna's magic bow and quiver that he had abandoned in the camp, slung them on his back, and galloped all the way, quickly disappearing into the night.
Dayan and the remaining wolf cavalry of the third squad, after hastily burying their fallen companions, rushed to the Boulder Castle with Edric with their seriously wounded companions.
