Chapter 224: The Knight's Fierce Battle
The village by the lake is filled with the cries of men and the cries of women and young children. The fire on the farmhouse spread in the wind, and the raging fire rushed up to the beams of the farmhouse in the lakeside village, and the wooden door panels of the farmhouse could no longer withstand the flames, and the Olaf wolves smashed through the flame-extinguished cottages one by one, and dragged the charred corpses out of the charred ruins. The beams and pillars of the farmhouse, which were constantly burned down, made a thunderous rumble.
Plumes of dusty dust and smoke were lifted over the lakeside village.
One of the three goblin alpine wolf cavalry of Hagueza hunted down the lakeside farmers who had rushed out of the farmhouse and tried to escape, and the other two were in charge of the slaughter, and in their eyes the poor farmers who had escaped from the smoke and fire were nothing more than fat lambs to their mouths.
Olaf's sensitive ears were erected, their noses twitched, they heard the sound of chain mail and weapons rubbing against each other, they smelled the smell of pig iron other than blood, and the goblin alpine wolf cavalry guarding the entrance of the village also noticed the strangeness of the alpine wolf under their crotch, and quickly looked in the direction that the wolves were facing.
A knight in the Diefend's heraldic chainmail was wielding his sword, and in a roar he rode towards it, galloping like a furious thunderbolt.
The wolf cavalry guarding the entrance of the village also grabbed the saddle of the alpine wolf, and immediately let out a low whine to the alpine wolf under his crotch, and immediately rushed towards the direction where the knight was rushing, and threw out the pitch-black tooth blade casually.
The moment the wolf and the war horse interacted, the knight's saber and the pitch-black toothed blade met in the air, and yellow sparks splashed everywhere, and a crisp roar sounded.
After running a few steps away, the two sides quickly reversed the direction of their mounts and rushed into each other head-on again.
At the moment when the knight met the goblin alpine wolf cavalry, it did not swing its sword, but dragged its sword to avoid the toothed blade, and then jerked the reins of the horse, and went around behind the wolf cavalry, and then aimed at the goblin's shoulder blade and swung the sword to slash, the blade passed through the goblin's shoulder leather armor, removed one of the goblins' arms, and then slashed the goblin alpine wolf cavalry under the horse with another successive sword swing.
The alpine wolf who turned around went berserk, leaping from the ground and pounced on the victorious knight.
The knight reined in his horse and slashed at the head of the alpine wolf, but the alpine wolf's blood basin latched on to the blade that slashed at it.
"Mr. Seth!" Behind the knight came the exclamation of the farmer Kroll, and the purgatory-like situation in the lakeside village and the vicious wolf made the farmer not dare to come forward to support at all, but trembled and whispered again: "Be careful,,,
The wolf spat out the knight's saber that he had held onto, and his eyes flashed fiercely, and the unarmed knight and his armoured horse were like a delicacy wrapped in two iron skins.
The alpine wolf leaped into the air again, long barbed nails sticking out of his thick forelimbs, and Knight Seth reached out from behind him with a heraldic kite shield to protect his face, and a violent shock from the shield almost knocked him off his horse.
When the alpine wolf landed steadily on the ground, several deep scratches were left on the surface of the heraldic Zheng shield.
Knight Seth quickly stabilized the shield he was holding in his left arm and kept the horse in tow to deal head-on with the frenzied alpine wolf, at a disadvantage he buckled the chain mail hood, Kroll could not believe that the knight was still full of battle in the face of the loss of his weapon in the face of this mad beast, in other words, he would definitely ride away from this nightmare fight immediately.
"Damn, what am I going to do!?" Kroll's heart fluttered in his throat, he looked back at the 20 halberd soldiers who were still running behind him, and then turned his head to use the iron sword in his hand to support the inferior knight Seth, but soon he realized that he couldn't do it at all. The long sword in his trembling hand was slightly raised, and the whip in his other hand seemed to be as heavy as a mountain.
At this moment, the Alpine wolf's entire body stood up. The wolf's head was raised against the horse's head of the knight Seth.
"Damn, why don't you go to the rescue! Coward! The halberd soldiers, who had finally arrived at the entrance of the village, angrily struck the farmer Kroll's pack horse with the handle of the halberd, and the frightened pack horse rushed towards the knight Seth.
"Ahh Oh my god! Farmer Kroll screamed on the back of his frightened pack horse, and his hand holding his sword trembled even more.
Not far in front of him, the powerful hind limbs of the alpine wolf suddenly slammed into the ground, and it leaped and pounced on Seth the knight again. Kroll closed his eyes, and all he thought was, "I'm done." ”
"Whew!" The howl of the alpine wolf drifted in Kroll's ears, and he reined in the reins of his pack horse and opened his eyes.
With a flick of his shield, the knight Seth, who smashed the head of the Alpine wolf, took out another sharp sword from his horse bag and stabbed it into the heart of the Alpine wolf. The blood gushing out of the wolf sprayed the knight Seth's face, and the wolf the size of a bear cub fell in front of the armored war horse under Seth's crotch, and died.
The blood-spattered knight Seth didn't take any breath, he turned to command the arriving Difender halberd soldiers, and shouted, "More than a dozen wolves, three wolf cavalry." Halberd array into the village! ”
"What a useless minion." Hagesar in the village square looked at the two goblin alpine wolf cavalry in front of him with disdain, and let out a burst of boos, and then he issued an order to the dozen or so Olaf wolves who were surrounding him, "My cute little pets, fresh meat has been delivered to the door again!" Kill this little army of Trian for me, and leave not a single one behind! They are all your food. ”
The Olaf wolves, who had been sitting in the mud, stuck out their long wet tongues and got up. More than a dozen Olaf wolves marched in unison like a row of pitch-black waves in the direction of the village entrance.
Knight Seth pointed his sword at the wolves, and the halberd soldiers of Diffender Fortress marched forward in battle cry, but Kroll next to Knight Seth wanted to escape, but the cries of women and children in the burning lake village made him overcome the urge to escape, and he didn't know what was going on, he involuntarily began to move forward beside Knight Seth, clenching the heavy iron sword in his hand.
"Olaf wolves are here! Squat in the front row! Hold the halberd handle! Frontal assault! The halberd soldiers lined up side by side suddenly stopped their advance, and at the same time they squatted down and sent their halberds at the same time, stabbing the spear at the tip of the halberd to the abdomen of the Olaf wolf that pounced.
The abdomen of the two Olaf wolves was pierced by the spear blades of the halberds, and they whimpered. The huge momentum knocked several crouching halberders in front of them to the ground. Rushing forward a little later, the Olaf wolves pounced on the halberd soldiers who had been knocked down by the first two wolves, raised their terrifying and sharp front paws, and began to tear at the cotton armor of these soldiers at a rapid pace.
"Ahh The soldiers who were pounced on by the wolf let out a heart-rending cry, "It's tearing my body apart!" Save me! Hack it! ”
"Damn! He bit my arm! Another soldier was pounced on by a wolf with a pained expression on his face, "Ah! ”
Before the soldiers could cry for help, the wolf's sharp fangs pierced into his neck.
"Stand up for me, there's more to them!" The soldiers in the back row swung their halberds and slashed their axes to instantly chop the Olaf wolf that was biting the soldiers.
The remaining Olaf wolves cleverly changed their strategy, they easily climbed out of the village fence, and surrounded the knight Seth, the farmer Kroll and the soldiers who formed the halberd array, these wolves found an opportunity from time to time to sneak attack the Difender elite trained by the knight Seth with extremely fast speed, and the repeated successful sneak attacks made the clumsy halberd array completely meaningless.
The clever Olaf wolf and the support forces of Knight Seth play a game of hunting and retreat.
The Diefonder warriors, who had lost the initiative to attack first, had to turn their halberd array into a hedgehog circle used only when defending against cavalry, and the long halberds that poked out in all directions were like the hard thorns of hedgehogs. However, the knights Seth and Kroll, who lacked the cover of the halberd, became the primary target of Olaf's sneak attack.
The trembling Kroll had long forgotten that he still had the whip and iron sword in his hand, and just stared blankly at the wolf that bared his teeth and cracked teeth.
The knight Seth was the opposite of the farmer Kroll, the eyes under the chainmail hood looked around him vigilantly, the long sword in his hand swayed from side to side, he used his war horse to protect the cowardly Kroll, and resolved the crisis again and again for the stunned Kroll.
"Arcana, it's not an option, Mr. Seth! We are surrounded by these beasts! Diefend's warriors held halberds to guard the Olaf wolves who roamed outside the hedgehog circle, and the wolf's glittering blue eyes and grinning fangs made these warriors feel that the surrounding danger lurked, and the choking smoke drifting from the lakeside village disintegrated the warriors' fighting spirit little by little.
"A little bit towards the lakeside village!" Knight Seth, sweating profusely, looked at the nearby farmhouses that had not yet been lit, if they could lean their backs against the walls of these farmhouses, they would be able to reduce the pressure from at least one direction, he pointed at the farmhouse, "Steady the circle, take care of each other, and move slowly there!" ”
Before Knight Seth's words fell, the Olaf wolf, who had long been unable to hold back the stimulation of blood, seized the opportunity to pounce on the Knight Sett from three directions, and the Knight Seth swung his shield to hit the Olaf wolf who jumped up from his side, and then twitched his long sword to stab the oncoming Olaf wolf to death. But there was still a wolf that bit the hind legs of the war horse under his crotch.
I saw that the Olaf wolf shook his head and dragged it, and the convulsed war horse was pulled over, and the knight Seth turned over and fell off the horse, falling to the ground on his back.
The Olaf wolf, struck by Seth's heraldic shield, came to his senses and sprang at him with his tail between his legs, and the heavy halberds of the Diefonder warriors tried to hook its legs with their halberds, but they couldn't reach them.
"Coward! Kill the beast! The fighters shouted in horror.
"Kill it! You idiot! This was followed by another exclamation.
"Ahh Kroll's mind went blank, he opened his mouth wide, and shook the iron sword in his hand, and the blade of the iron sword hit the wolf's head impartially, and the flying brain immediately splashed his face.
"Well done!" The soldiers cheered for a moment.
"Ahh Kroll looked at Seth, who was about to get up from the ground, and this time he came to his senses, but his eyes were full of fear. The wolf's piercing eyes were full of malice, and he gave up gnawing at the fallen horse, and stood up a head taller than the pack horse he was riding, and the strong wolf claws raised were sharp claws, and on its chest was the rising knight Seth.
"Nope! Knight! In desperation, he threw away the iron sword in his hand.
"Die, you beasts!" A knight's sword slammed through the erect Olaf wolf's back into its left chest.
