Chapter 54: The Oath of the Holy Cross (II)
"Break out, break through to the top of the mountain——!"
Naze, the knight of the church, raised his greatsword and shouted behind him, "Follow me and rush towards the Iron Crown banner at the top of the mountain!"
In the next second, the church warriors who had been still in place, relying on the formation to fight with the surrounding ice werewolves, immediately abandoned the enemy in front of them, followed behind the chief knight and launched a charge without hesitation.
The Church Knight who rushed to the front was like the sharp edge of a sword, and the sharp greatsword continued to tear and roar in his hand, and the hordes of icewerewolves rushed towards the queue like an avalanche.
The five monsters at the forefront stared at the chief knight in heavy armor almost at the same time, and they rushed from top to bottom on all fours, and the terrible wolf howl was as fierce as the wind!
"My lord, if you have the honor to know your prestige......
Naze, whose eyes widened, chanted in a bell-like voice, and the big sword dragged behind him continued to roll up white "smoke" on the snow, and collided head-on with an indomitable momentum.
The two werewolves in front had leapt from their spots, opening their jaws and pounced from above, and the galloping knights of the Church had not stopped, still striding forward.
In an instant, the galloping chief knight was disconnected from the queue behind him, and the leaping werewolf appeared behind him, and the other three in front surrounded Naze in the center, cold claws and terrible roars coming from all directions!
"Bang ——!"
A heavy step burst into countless snowflakes, and the heavily armed church knight Naze was like a steel chariot that suddenly stopped, and the flying snow instantly obscured all vision.
"I will shout praises to ——!!!!"
The huge silver greatsword took the body as the axis, and the blood-red arc instantly "slashed" the collapsed white snow, and the screaming werewolf turned into a piece of meat that could never scream!
The blood splattered, and Naze, who was dyed red again, still had no intention of stopping, roaring and continuing to charge.
The Church Knights on either side were only half a step "late" to the Chief Knight, blocking the werewolves who pounced on the flanks of the queue to tear through the line.
The main light infantry in the center of the front line had already abandoned the cumbersome skinned round shields and war bows, and raised their halberds and heavy swords like rolling waves.
That's a blood-red countercurrent!
The long slope collides head-on with monsters coming down from above with every half step, and the fanatics who are not afraid of death chant the name of the Holy Cross, paving the way for the robes behind them with their halberds and their flesh and blood!
A soldier fell at every step, and every cry was the last;
The scarred soldier stabbed the halberd in his hand, piercing the monster and cutting off his head, and the robe behind him did not hesitate to pierce the dead brother and the monster together!
There was no shouting or order, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the back of the chief knight Naze, and they followed him as closely as they could.
The hot blood splattered on the ground, and the fanatics who stepped on the bones of the brothers still widened their eyes, even though their right arm had been torn open by the werewolf of the ice plain, the only remaining left arm still swung the cold halberd with all his might, smashed through the monster's head with the halberd blade, and shouted the final slogan:
"For the ——!!!! of the Holy Cross"
......................................................
On the hillside, the Brandon Guard, who had marched rapidly, had already marched in the direction of Naze, the knight of the church, and a small number of rangers had already galloped to the rescue.
But they didn't have time, and the distance from the protrusion of the Valley of Bloodbones to the gentle slope would be the death of the Church Knights - before the two sides could converge and fight on both sides, they would be completely strangled by the werewolves four times their size!
One by one, the church knights beside them were dragged down by the swarming werewolves around them, and these monsters finally realized their purpose, and instead of direct contact, they chose to besiege and continue to entangle, so that they were overwhelmed and unable to cover the soldiers behind them.
At the same time, the light infantry who were still advancing were attacked with great speed, and the crazy werewolves roared and rushed into the line from all directions, tearing open the bloody wounds again and again, turning any lone soldier into a puddle of minced meat in an instant!
"Rush over, rush with Lord Naze, for the Holy Cross ——!"
The shouting soldier rushed out of the line, smashing the halberd in his hand at the rushing monster in front of him with all his might, not noticing that the other werewolf had been waiting for him for too long.
In an instant, only half of the soldiers who shouted loudly were left lying in a pool of blood, and the upper half of the body, which was bitten by the werewolf's bloody mouth, continued to twitch until the blood dried up and completely died.
Behind the soldier, there were many more soldiers who repeated what he had just done without hesitation, roaring and shouting and launching a fierce charge, but in front of the swarming werewolves, they could not keep them moving forward by half a step except to pay the price of more death and blood!
It's come to an end, and the knight of the church, Naze, is well aware of this.
If only he could still have a hundred-man team at his disposal, if not directly below the gentle slope...... There are not so many ifs, because it was a reckless and irrational decision made by himself.
You can die here, but the information must be sent to His Highness Brandon!
"Poof——!
The great sword stopped the sharp claws that were about to pierce the skull, and slashed off the werewolf's claws and head with dripping blood!
In the next moment, two monsters pounced on the steel chariot-like figure from the left and right sides almost simultaneously, and the fastest one had even rushed in front of him!
"Bell ——!"
In an instant, the armor on his body blocked the most lethal claw for Naze, and the head-on big sword instantly cut the werewolf in half, but the armor on his waist was instantly torn apart by the attack from the other side, and blood gushed out from the cracks in the armor.
The unchanging face of the church knight turned around suddenly, and the horizontal sword stabbed through the werewolf's head through the gaping bloody mouth!
As he drew his sword, the dying monster left two more scars on his thighs, and Naze, who was dyed red from head to toe, was mixed with the blood of the monster and his own at the same time, but he still couldn't hide his feverish gaze.
But when you open your eyes, the remnants of the Church army have been destroyed!
Stumps and severed arms spurting blood, dying soldiers screaming and screaming, bones falling from the blood-stained halberds, and werewolves munching and stained red with blood......
In less than two minutes, they'll all be killed!
"Like a miracle of holy light, let the rising sun bring new ......"
The scarred church knight Naze muttered in a low voice, his armor already tattered, and the marks of bites and claws on his chest and back;
"Illuminate this world as dark as hell......"
The big sword in his hand was knocked away, and the burly figure stopped the monster that pounced on the robe behind him with only his hands!
"Awaken the ignorant, blind, humble and weak ......"
The monster behind him bit down on the shoulder, but the fangs were broken by the heavy shoulder armor, and the unaware Naze and the werewolf wrestling in front of him looked at each other, and grabbed its throat with his right hand!
"When the Holy Cross comes, the fanatics who do not believe in God ......"
With a sudden force of his right hand, the wailing werewolf struggled to death, his sharp claws leaving several deep blood marks on Naze's face!
"And they will praise our Lord with one voice——!!!!"
In an instant, the gushing blood splattered on Naze's face, and the moment the ice werewolf fell, the six-headed monster pounced on him from the front almost simultaneously.
"Boom ——!!!!"
The boiling flames cracked in front of the church knights, and the six-headed ice werewolf who didn't even have time to scream turned into charcoal in an instant, and the golden-red light of the explosion made Naze's eyes widen.
At that moment, he didn't even notice that the monster behind him that had just been cracked out had already pounced!
"Poof——!
Hearing the sound, Naze suddenly turned around, and the werewolf who fell in the snow had a snow-bright Elems short sword stuck in his head!
"I told you, and I wouldn't mind telling you again. ”
The gray-eyed boy who rushed into the line turned over and dismounted, staring at the face of the church knight, and these words burst out from between his teeth:
"I'm not a deserter!"
