Chapter 19: Counterattack
Gordon finally regained his strength, his head still feeling a little dizzy, but he was no longer able to move.
At the time of the explosion, he decisively jumped to escape, and the "Black Wind" under the seat blocked most of the impact for him, and the seven orifices were shocked and bleeding, and the horse that had followed him for many years sat on the ground and lost its mobility.
But now he can't care so much, the enemy in front of him matters, he drew his spare one-handed sword, and after saying his comment to Unas, regardless of his staring at him, he rushed forward to brush a few swords to deal with the remaining two scourge dogs.
The Dreadguard in front of it flapped its wings and floated again, and several shriveled corpses of bats and Scourge dogs lay at its feet, sacrificing several of its beasts, and its wounds were almost healed, but its right arm could not move at all, and it had already retreated.
The master's order was only a tentative attack, and now that the goal has been achieved, he is not afraid of punishment, but the two humans in front of him are a little tricky.
It roared, and the beasts besieging the camp split up in a group to attack the two humans.
It doesn't feel sorry for sacrificing some cannon fodder, as long as it can get out of the way.
The movements of the demon in front of them were all in their eyes, the two looked at each other, it seemed that a "flying sword" from Gordon had scared the demon into its guts, and the enemy was ready to retreat, and now was the best time to counterattack.
"Darian!" With a loud roar, Gordon raised his sword in the air—a call to attack.
Darien in the camp awoke to the nerves of the first battle, and the Scourge Dogs and Darkblood Bat rushed into the barrier without fear of death—they weren't usually so stupid, these dark creatures were weakened by the barrier, and he was addicted to the excitement of slashing and slashing his enemies.
Gordon's roar woke him up, and Darion looked up to observe the pattern on the battlefield, and after a bit of slashing, the number of enemy troops besieging the camp was much reduced, and he divided into a group to attack the two men outside, which was even more thin.
Due to the sudden surroundment, the cavalry had no room to deploy, and the main general Gordon was not there, so Darian ordered everyone to dismount and form a defensive formation, but now with Gordon's order, Darian did not hesitate, and gave an order, and half of the people rode on their horses.
"Charge!" Darien took the lead and rushed out of the gap opened by the soldiers in front of him, obsidian emitted a dazzling light on his chest, the enchantment was centered on gems, and as soon as he moved, the spherical enchantment also moved forward, immediately enveloping the enemy in front of him in the enchantment.
More than a dozen cavalrymen rushed out after him, breaking through the encirclement of the Scourge Dogs in an instant, and the team continued to advance, breaking through the group of Scourge Dogs that surrounded the two outside, and joined up with Gordon and Unas.
Unas gave up the big brown horse to Gordon and summoned the skeleton war horse himself, although he didn't want to summon this undead horse in front of people, but now he can't take care of so much, the battle situation is urgent, and it will be a matter of time for Whitemayne to find fault.
The two joined the cavalry, and Gordon roared and charged at the front, the cavalry following his flaming sword like a spear into the dogs.
With only the howling of the wind and the wailing of the Scourge dogs, Unas did not know that this was the first time he had launched a charge, and under the leadership of Gordon, the cavalry had broken through the formation of the beasts again and again, and the soldiers left behind in the camp had already mounted their horses to join the charge.
Whitemayne was protected at the center of the team, and from time to time white light streamed from her staff to the cavalry around her—her healing and mantra skills gave the team great courage.
The creatures of darkness finally collapsed, the Dreadguards were long gone, and the Scourge Dogs and Darkblood Bat began to flee in all directions, and Gordon led the team in pursuit for a while before stopping.
Obsidian consumes most of its energy, the enchantment can't last long, and the soldiers are also very tired, so it's really not appropriate to chase deeply. But Gordon didn't want to leave it at that, the Fire Kiss was in the hands of the Dreadguard, and he didn't want to give up the family heirloom sword.
"Darien," he commanded, turning back, "you lead the group back to the camp, and Unas and I will pursue it for a while, hoping to catch the Dreadguard." ”
"I advise you not to go, unless your horses can walk on water." Whitemayne suddenly spoke, and when he spoke of the horse, he glanced at the skeleton war horse under Unas's crotch, which made Unas chrysanthemum tighten.
"Did the demon flee to the lake?" Gordon asked.
Whitemane pointed to the middle of the lake, "I put a mark on it, and I can sense that it is moving towards the middle of the lake now." ”
The Dreadguard's wings weren't ornaments, they could fly low, and they had both seen it levitated in the air before, so there was no need for Whitemane to lie.
Gordon sighed in his heart and lowered the sword in his hand, but Unas breathed a sigh of relief, patted Gordon's shoulder, and comforted: "There is still a chance. ”
Gordon nodded, and led the team back to camp.
The camp was in a mess, the corpses of the catastrophic dog and the dark-blooded bat were lying on the ground, they were not pure undead creatures, the meat of the cataclysmic dog was edible after simple purification, but the taste was not very good, some parts of the bat's body could be used as spell casting materials, and they also had certain medicinal value.
Miraculously no one was killed in this battle, only a few minor wounds, thanks to the Light Enchantment and the High Priest of Whiteman.
The most seriously injured was Gordon's warhorse "Black Wind", but after a few healing techniques from Whiteman, he was able to stand up and walk around.
Unas's favor for Whitemane has improved a lot, although she has a prejudice against herself, but she also gave herself a shot of the Truth Word Healing Technique in battle, and then she didn't say anything about riding an undead horse, of course, this may also be her way of paralyzing herself, and she is always calm before the storm.
Quickly put away the skeleton war horse and perfunctorily took away a few curious soldiers, Unas checked the attribute panel, and the experience rose to 87%, although he hammered to death with his own hands, but he also got a lot of team experience, and he will definitely be able to upgrade in another battle.
He also thought that the benefit of upgrading is that the state is instantly full, and if you control the experience at about 90% before the big battle every time, then it is almost certain that if you level up during the battle, you will have double combat effectiveness and greatly improve your survivability.
But his biggest shortcoming is the lack of combat skills, this battle is a clear proof, always hammer the target, in vain, not to mention, and easy to show flaws, but this thing is not in a hurry for a while, can only rely on slow accumulation.
After cleaning up the battlefield, several recruits who were on the battlefield for the first time like Darien were gathering together to discuss the process of killing the enemy excitedly, Whitemane disappeared into the curtain of the tent after treating a few lightly injured soldiers, and Gordon was taking care of "Black Wind", wondering if this war horse would be able to fight tomorrow.
Tonight's twin moons are a little dim, the white fog on the lake seems to be thicker, and after eating a dog meat supper, except for the people on duty at night, the pioneers have all fallen asleep, and there is a new battle waiting for them tomorrow.
