Chapter 226: Demon Pursuit
The survivors followed the knight Seth to abandon their homeland, the lakeside village, and the beauty of the past may only exist in the minds of these survivors.
When the raging fire finally engulfed the village house, Kroll looked back at the sea of fire. The light of the fire shone in his cold eyes like the flames of vengeance.
Kroll couldn't help but think of the words sung by the down-and-out bards who had visited the lakeside villages, though he didn't like the names of the words, and the tune was like an elegy.
What you once had, don't forget;
What has been drifted away should be cherished;
What has been lost, keep it as a memory;
What belongs to you, don't give up;
If you want to do it, you must work hard;
The most important thing is to love yourself;
The most eternal happiness is ordinary;
We don't pursue indulgent passions;
The longest-lasting possession is cherishing;
Worthy of our eternal love;
Now I've lost everything;
I couldn't understand it with my heart;
I couldn't understand it with emotion;
I understand everything now;
Without bravery, people will lose everything;
Only bravery can create that home in memory,
The memory that destroys;
Gradually shattered in the mind;
Wandering us;
playing the sorrow of each other's hearts;
I will repay it,
I swear by the head on my neck,
I swear by the sword in my hand,
I swear by the Arcana of faith,
The sword will unleash your doom,
My head will be like steel,
My body will smash your walls to pieces.
My anger burns in my heart,
My anger runs wild in my eyes,
I'm going to vent him! I'm going to set him free!
May they,
Burning all that you have,
Everything is in ashes!
By this poem of the dead,
My heart has no fear of death!
Kroll took heavy steps, leaving deep footprints in the ground with each step. He didn't want to forget the memory home that was gradually disappearing behind him, and he wanted to leave as many footprints as possible on the road to his hometown.
"Let's go. We were about ten miles ahead of us and there was a safe area. The Desco Terrace and the Guardian Terrace have a large number of people from the Fortress of Difende! Knight Seth rode slowly beside Kroll, he understood the sorrow in the farmer's heart, he didn't want to stimulate him with too many words, after all, the farmer's plight made him sympathetic, and now Kroll's face was no longer the cowardly expression of the past, instead of a resolute one.
Kroll didn't respond, but just nodded slightly.
"Cheer up, Kroll." Youngor, who was accompanying him, tentatively patted Kroll on the shoulder.
"Thank you." Kroll turned his head indifferently and looked at his friend.
"Quick, Leadergate! We've got a few more minutes to be safe. Seth's shouts were heard ahead, and the survivors of the lakeside village quickened their pace.
"Knock, knock." Behind Kroll and Youngor and the Dieffonder soldiers came two beating drums.
The frightened survivors ran away.
"Knock knock!" The beating of the drum was more urgent, and a strange babbling sound could be heard in the taiga behind him.
The survivors began to scream.
"Don't panic!" Knight Seth shouted, "Forward, forward!" Don't get scattered! ”
"It's monsters, goblins! Wolf Cavalry! And "the soldiers trembled, and when they turned around, they saw a conifer tree broken by some huge 'figure'.
"Whew!" Several goblin alpine wolf cavalry had already sprung out of the taiga, wielding pitch-black toothed blades and wielding them wildly, including the three guys who had escaped from the lakeside village.
"Lords, the soldiers of Diefender will cover you! Continue towards the Desco Mesa and the Guardian Mesada! Kroll, Youngor! You're already a fighter! Lead your villagers there! Knight Seth looked at Kroll and Youngor in a commanding tone, "The rest of the soldiers, we must hold off the monsters' pursuit!" ”
"I will stay and avenge the death of my father and wife, and the child in my womb!" Kroll gripped his sword and looked at Seth.
"It's an order, if you don't want to see more people die under the knives of these monsters." Without further explanation, Seth immediately commanded the soldiers of Diefender Fortress to build a seemingly fragile defensive barrier behind the surviving farmers.
A huge 'figure' in the taiga revealed its true form, a cave troll with a giant drum on its shoulder. Like a strong barrier behind the goblin wolf cavalry emerging from the taiga.
"Hurry up, Kroll, there's no time to hesitate! Mr. Knight Seth let's go! That's an order! Youngor looked up at the cave trolls not far away, grabbed Kroll's arm and ran towards the Desco Terrace and the Guardian Terrace.
"Hold on! Warriors! Knight Seth drew his sword from its sheath, and the sound of the scabbard rubbing against the blade was a crisp sound.
On the opposite side of Knight Seth, Hagesa, who led the pursuing troops, commanded his more than 20 wolf cavalry to divide into two columns, and after leaving a few wolf cavalry to protect them, the rest of the wolf cavalry detoured from the taiga on both wings, bypassing the halberd formation that blocked the way.
"The halberd array is split into two columns to protect the left and right wings!" The knight Seth clung to the reins of the horse, and the untrained crotch pack horse looked restless in the face of such a battle, shaking its body.
Hagueza snapped the skull crown and swung forward with the scimitar in his muscular hand.
The drums of the cave trolls grew faster, and the alpine wolves that Hagetha was riding slammed on their hind legs, and the wolf cavalry around them also moved and sprang out in unison.
The wolf cavalry rushed from the front.
Knight Seth hedged in the direction of Hagueza with his sword in hand. Seth remembered the ugly face that was so bloody in its hands that hundreds of people in the lakeside village had died at the hands of this guy's evil thoughts.
"Sword of Nido!" It was the chant of Knight Seth.
"Whew!" Under the sound of swords clashing was the terrible cry of a wolf in the mountains.
And the survivors of the lakeside village who fled, Kroll and Youngor also ran desperately. Behind them, two wolf cavalry suddenly sprang out of the taiga, wielding pitch-black toothed blades, killing anyone they saw.
"What to do? Two Goblin wolf cavalry have caught up with us! Youngor and Kroll turned their heads as they ran, and the two wolf horsemen wielded their blood-stained blades.
"Into the woods!" Kroll gestured, with an iron sword in his hand.
"That's it! May Arcana bless. Youngor immediately understood.
Hiding in the taiga, Kroll and Youngor peer out over the dirt path leading to the Desco Terrace and the Guardian Terrace.
"Attract a guy over. You've got the right shot! Kroll threw a stone at Youngor.
"Why did you tell me to attract that crazy guy?" Youngor stared widely, and couldn't help but swallow the saliva in his mouth.
"Because, I want to kill these guys." The words that popped out of Kroll's mouth no longer looked like the cowardly guy he once was.
"I hope you're pretty sure I don't want my head sawed open by that weapon." Youngor weighed the stone in his hand, and the weight was still quite sufficient. Under the cover of the woods, he touched the dead grass beside the road and raised his arms.
After a short aim, he threw stones with enough strength in his arms in an instant, and even Youngor himself did not expect that this precise throw would kill the extremely unlucky goblin cavalry on top of the mountain wolf.
The wolf under his crotch turned his head, turned his head in the direction the stone was thrown, and howled, and even the other pursuing Goblin wolf cavalry turned his head to look at the dead grass where Youngor was.
"It's not what I expected!" Youngor screamed in his heart, and he immediately turned and ran towards the taiga where Kroll was.
The pursuing Alpine Wolves and Goblin Alpine Wolf Cavalry gave up their pursuit of the other villagers and galloped towards the forest.
"Kroll! It's not what you expected! Save me! O Akana! He just pricked up his ears and listened to the growing rustling and goblin screams coming from his back.
Youngor could already feel the wolf's breath behind him.
Youngor drew his sword and turned around, and in front of him was already a mountain wolf leaping up, like a white whirlwind rolling in.
"O Akana! Kroll! Where the are you! Youngor subconsciously fell on his back and stabbed the knight's sword at the wolf that fell overhead.
The sharp tip of the sword pierced the abdomen of the alpine wolf that rushed towards Youngor, the alpine wolf pressed on Youngor's body, and the waving claws cut out blood marks on Youngor's face, Youngor's screams filled the entire taiga, and the knight's saber that kept stabbing in his hand stabbed the belly of the alpine wolf into a mess, and the fishy intestines flowed on Youngor's chest, and after struggling for a while, the wolf that pressed on Youngor died.
Youngor, who was covered in blood, was in unbearable pain on his face, but he still struggled to push away the wolf that was pressing on him, but the goblin wolf cavalry was already in front of him, and the raised black tooth blade made this originally hideous goblin look even more terrifying.
"No!" Disheartened, Youngor closed his eyes, and he resigned himself to his fate.
Suddenly, a figure sprang out of the bushes beside him, and then, he swung out a penetrating cold light, and cut off the front legs of the wolf, and the falling goblin lost its balance and was thrown out of the wolf's back, like a stone thrown by a trebuchet and fell to the ground beside Youngor.
"Youngor, kill that guy!" It was Kroll's shout, and Kroll turned his head and ran towards the fallen goblin with his sword.
"Damn! The sword is stuck in the wolf's ribs! Rising up, Youngor tried to pull the knight's saber from the wolf's corpse, but when he turned his head to look at the goblin who had fallen to the ground, the goblin jumped up quickly, grabbed the toothed blades scattered on the ground, and slashed at his neck.
A mist of blood splattered from Youngor's neck, sprinkling the conifer trunk all over it.
"No!!" Kroll raised his sword and angrily slashed at the goblin's back, "Youngor!" ”
