Volume 2 The Call of Fate Chapter 12 Ambush (1)

The afterglow of the setting sun painted the sky over the savannah with a layer of blood. The clouds seemed to be burning, and they were a little gritty. A black falcon soared among the surging red clouds in the sky, as if searching for something. On the horizon in the distance, a flash of fire suddenly lit up, and then a pillar of smoke rose into the sky. Seeing this, the black falcon let out a sharp cry, flapped its wings, and flew through the sky like lightning, flying towards the place where the pillar of smoke rose.

It was supposed to be a picturesque valley. The shady green trees, blooming flowers, meandering streams, and frolicking fish make for a mesmerizing and beautiful picture.

However, the picturesque beauty of the valley was long gone, and there was a fire and smoke that were incompatible with the beauty.

In the valley, there stands a castle built on the edge of the mountain and the water. Against the backdrop of the bloody sun, the castle, which had been engulfed in flames and smoke, added a touch of desolation and tragedy to the valley.

As time passed, the burning flames and rising smoke gradually subsided. All that left the castle was ruins and a litter of corpses. The howling mountain wind swept through the valley and through the ruins of the castle, making a piercing whining sound, like the shrill cry of a midnight wraith.

A dark shadow had been hovering over the castle for a long time, and it was only after watching the withdrawn army disappear far from the horizon that the shadow swooped down from the sky. The embers of the castle that had not yet burned out illuminated the dark shadow, which was a huge black falcon.

After the black falcon landed in the castle, its wings flicked, and its entire body was suddenly elongated, and it turned into a human form in the blink of an eye. The figure of the black falcon was wrapped in a hooded black robe. With his hood over his head and his head down, he paced slowly through the castle, looking through the dead bodies in the castle to see if there was any life left.

The sun was set, and the night wind blew out the embers between the ruins, and the whole castle was plunged into darkness.

In the night, dozens of green fluorescent lights suddenly flickered from the castle one by one, surrounding the person transformed by the black falcon in the middle.

In the darkness where you couldn't see your fingers, suddenly there was the low roar of a beast, and the sound of gold and iron unsheathed weapons.

More than a dozen torches lit up at the same time, illuminating a corner of the castle. In the firelight, I saw more than a dozen knights dressed in scale armor and wearing covered helmets, holding scimitars of the same type in one hand and bright torches in the other, murderously surrounding a black-robed man. And the mounts under the crotches of those knights were a hideous-looking and fanged wolf.

The hooded head of the black-robed man was still down, and no one could see his face, and there was no way to know if he had fallen into panic because of such a sudden change. However, the next moment, judging from the calm of his voice as he spoke, he did not seem to panic in the slightest because of the sudden siege.

"Which wolf cavalry unit of the Beamon Empire are you, can sneak into the depths of the grassland so quietly, and without alarming the major forces on the grassland, and capture Silensburg without even noticing, it must not be an ordinary Beamon wolf cavalry, right?" The voice of the black-robed man was soft and deep, with an indescribable magnetic taste.

The knights surrounding the black-robed man did not answer his question, they silently and slowly drove the wolf under them to approach the black-robed man, closed the encirclement, and made a siege posture.

The knights didn't seem to want to waste too much time on the black-robed man they thought was dying, and as soon as the encirclement was closed, the knights attacked first.

A knight slapped the wolf on the crotch, only to hear the wolf roar, and leaped forward, straight at the black-robed man. At the same time, the knight on the back of the wolf raised his sword and fell, and the sword light drew an arc in mid-air, slashing towards the neck of the black-robed man.

Seeing the knight attacking, the black-robed man snorted coldly, his body shook, and he rushed towards the knight. On the way forward, the figure of the black-robed man suddenly twisted and changed, and suddenly turned into a black panther covered with strange patterns all over his body, and jumped high, avoiding the sharp claws of the wolf and the scimitar of the knight on the wolf's back, and the knight fell off the wolf's back in a flash of lightning.

At the same time that the panther panther threw the knight off the wolf's back with a pair of front paws, one of its hind paws swiped deftly at the wolf's eyes, and the wolf howled, and its eyes were blinded, and it fell from mid-air to the ground, rolling and wailing. The knight who was thrown to the ground by the panther screamed, struggling to raise the scimitar in his hand, and was about to cut at the panther who was pressing on him, not wanting the panther to move quickly and abnormally, his right paw first poked out like lightning, and struck hard at the palm of the knight's hand holding the knife, and after knocking away the scimitar in the knight's hand, the right paw fell again, and slashed at the knight's throat, and the knight died without even screaming.

Seeing that his companion killed his opponent in the blink of an eye, the knights around him were furious. They roared one after another, urging the wolf under their crotch to kill the black panther turned into a black-robed man. The panther is extremely agile and moves very fast, like a ghost in the night, moving and dodging among the knights, pounce and jump, and lift weights with ease. The scimitars in the hands of the knights could not touch it at all. The panther's claws, on the other hand, were deadly, and each time it struck out, it took advantage of the full force of the knights attacking it to grab at their throats, which were not protected by armor. Every claw strike of the black panther was as fast as lightning and thunder, and the knight who attacked it often missed the sword, and he was killed by it after he had no time to withdraw his sword to defend and block.

A series of screams rang out in Sellensburg, breaking the silence of the night, which was particularly piercing in the night, adding an atmosphere of solemnity and terror to the devastated Sellensburg.

It wasn't long before Sellensburg fell silent, and the knights besieging the Panthers and their wolves were all lying dead on the ground.

After killing all the knights, the panther reverted to human form. A dozen torches scattered on the ground were still crackling and burning, and the flickering light of the fire reflected the lone figure of the black-robed man standing on the pile of corpses on the ground, making the Sellensburg even more strange and terrifying. The black-robed man slowly leaned down and removed the masks from the faces of the dead knights, and as he expected, the faces of the werewolves of the Wolf clan among the Beamon orcs were indeed revealed under the masks.

"The combat effectiveness of these wolf cavalry is obviously much stronger than before, what is their origin?" the black-robed man muttered as he stared at the werewolf corpse on the ground.

In the darkness, there was a sudden scream that broke through the air, and at the moment when the whistle sounded, the black-robed man hurriedly fell to the ground and rolled to the side. A steel bolt grazed the black-robed man's body like lightning, plunging deep into the hard bluestone ground of Sellensburg. Because the force of the crossbow arrow was too strong, after the crossbow arrow was inserted into the ground, the tail of the second half of the arrow that exposed the ground still trembled and buzzed.

The black-robed man quickly rose from the ground, raised his leg and kicked, kicking a torch that had fallen at his feet in the direction where the crossbow arrow had fired. However, where the torches lit it, it was empty, and the attacker was nowhere to be seen.

From dodging the crossbow arrows to kicking out the torches, the black-robed man did it in one go, and it took a very short time, almost in the blink of an eye. And the sneak attacker was able to change his hiding position in such a short period of time, and he was obviously also a master.

The black-robed man immediately raised his vigilance.

With a 'whoosh' sound, another arrow of lightning flew in, directly hitting the black-robed man's vital point, and the black-robed man jumped up and dodged the arrow again. At the moment when the black-robed figure fell and his feet were about to touch the ground, the sneak attacker hidden in the darkness quickly shot an arrow like a maggot on the tarsal bone.

This time, the crossbow arrow was shot, and a faint light began to flash on the tip of the arrow, and the sneak attacker shot it after infusing this arrow with fighting energy.

The crossbow arrow shot after infusing the fighting spirit was faster and more powerful, and the timing of this arrow was also very good, just when the black-robed man fell from mid-air and had an unstable foothold.

only heard a muffled snort, but the black-robed man couldn't dodge this time, and was hit by an arrow in his left shoulder. At the same time that the crossbow arrow shot into the shoulder of the black-robed man, the fighting qi infused into it exploded, and a cloud of blood mist immediately exploded from the black-robed man's arrow.

"You can easily dispose of twelve of my right-hand men, and under my sneak attack, you can avoid my two arrows, you are indeed not a simple mercenary,—— Senna Yemo. A deep voice rang out from the darkness, and then a tall figure slowly stepped out of the darkness and stepped into the area illuminated by the torches on the ground.
