Chapter 85: The Battle of Gilneth (I)
"Onward, for Gilneth!"
Crorey, dressed in military uniform, stood at the front of the line and shouted loudly. One by one, the Gilneys hoplites behind him swept past him and rushed towards the gate.
But the fighting power of the blood-toothed werewolves is obviously stronger than that of humans, and many of the Gilneth soldiers who had just climbed the city tower were immediately photographed down by the rampaging blood-toothed werewolves, and even more soldiers were bitten beyond recognition by the ferocious werewolves, and their flesh and blood lay on the top of the city wall.
Even beneath the city walls, there were many dead and wounded Gilneth warriors, hunted by werewolf archers, these blood-toothed werewolves, not only possessed strong muscles, sharp teeth, but also human palms, although their nails had become as sharp as wolves, but still able to hold bows and arrows and spears. And, use these human weapons to hunt human beings......
Jean had few warriors left behind for Crowley, and there was a lack of long-range weapons such as muskets and bows, and the number of Gilneth soldiers killed in battle continued to increase...... It declares the cruelty and bloodiness of this battle.
At this time, Ares, who had been standing in the backfield, solemnly stood in the center of the reserve team and opened the heavy holy book. This heavy ancient book has always been worn by Ares, and no one knew what it did until now, and only now did people know that it was an essential weapon for paladins!
Ignoring the noisy crowd around him, Ares reverently recited the scriptures in the temple, and for a moment, Ares felt as if he was not himself, but integrated into a character in this world, and the crowd surging around him began to blur, and the energy in his heart began to swell, it was a fire of holy light, a fire of hope.
Gradually, the surroundings became brighter, and light shone through the cracks in Ares' armor.
For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on this young paladin. Ares closed the temple and pulled out the Ash Messenger that had been planted in the ground with one hand.
"Rise up, warriors. Arise, heroes of Azeroth, the Light is above! Stand up and fight for Azeroth in the name of the Light! ”
Armed with his greatsword, Ares shouted loudly.
I saw a cloud of light so bright that people couldn't open their eyes bloom from Ares, and the light continued to expand, as if he himself was the spokesman of the Holy Light. This light energy spread all the way above the city walls, and even the blood-toothed werewolves who were fighting widened their eyes in surprise.
They saw an incredible sight, the Gilneys infantry who had fallen on the city walls once again picked up their weapons, their wounds were healing, their will was tenacious again, they supported their bodies with their shields, and clenched their spears and swords in their hands.
"Forward!"
Such a miraculous scene boosted the morale of all the Gilneth soldiers, and Lord Crowley shouted. In the next second, the united Gilneth army launched a fierce attack on the blood-toothed werewolves.
Gianna recited the spell, and an arrow of frost and fire jumped into the air, smashing directly into the werewolf hunter above the tower, and the werewolf hunter suddenly screamed and fell into the city. Soon, the crumbling gates collapsed under the impact of the besieging soldiers' rams.
Ares took the lead, holding the Ash Messenger in his hand, and cut off the head of a werewolf warrior with a single sword, and the black blood of the blood-toothed werewolf suddenly rose into the air and sprinkled all over Ares's face. Another werewolf, spear in hand, stabbed Ares, who snatched the spear and knocked him out of the head with the hilt.
More Gilneth soldiers rushed into the city on their heels, followed by Ares and Crowley.
Siege warfare turned into street fighting.
A dozen werewolves launched an onslaught on Gianna. "Gianna!" Ares shouted, however, it was too far away to come to the rescue.
But the mage's ability always seemed to be amazing, and a blazing white light flashed in the crowd, and the group of blood-toothed werewolves who were about to hunt Gianna were shocked away by the archmage's magic explosion, and their limbs were even torn apart, and blood was splattered everywhere. Some of the broken werewolf arms and entrails even fell at Gianna's feet.
Ares thought that Gianna would be horrified by such a bloody picture, but it seemed that she didn't feel much about it, perhaps because she had experienced too many horrific disasters, so the battle was nothing to her. However, Ares could feel her heart beat faster, sweat covering her forehead. Obviously, Gianna has the ability to deal with these werewolves, but that requires a huge amount of physical strength.
"You rest here, I'll let a few soldiers protect you here, you don't go ahead, it looks more dangerous there."
Holding Gianna, Ares said with concern. The greatsword in his hand was still burning with strange flames.
"No, we fought together, and we all promised King Jean to help him eradicate the wolves in his territory. Don't worry, I can fight again with a break. ”
Gianna said, clutching her staff and walking to the canal.
The image of ruining Ares' three views reappears. I saw Gianna chanting a magic spell against the turbulent canal, and in the next second, a high-speed whirlpool gradually formed on the originally calm water surface, and a human-shaped water mass gradually formed in the center of the whirlpool, it exposed the water surface, walked on the river, and finally walked to the shore wet, and walked to the mage in response to Gianna's call!
Water elemental? Ares marveled at how the water element of the Ice Method came from...... It's just that in reality, summoning a baby water element seems to be much more difficult. Gianna was too tired to summon the water elemental guard, she sat down, and the water elemental guard also stood beside her calmly, guarding her.
"We should move on."
All around was the screams of the Gilneth soldiers, the clashing of weapons and armor, and the howls of the blood-fanged werewolves. Gianna shouted. Although she was a little tired, she soon joined the fight again. Now, Ares, who was not worried about her, followed closely on the left and right.
The Ember Bringer roared, slashing into the abdomen of one of the bloodfanged werewolves and stabbing through the chest of another werewolf who rushed up from behind. When the greatsword was drawn, it was already stained with werewolf blood and broken internal organs.
But Ares was amazed to find that the blood was quickly absorbed by the sword! It seems that blood will spur its depraved vendetta.
"Ares!"
Just when he was in doubt, another blood-toothed wolf pounced from behind, Gianna shouted loudly, Ares took advantage of the situation to hold the sword in both hands, one turned back and swept away, and the next second, the huge werewolf was cut off by the fallen ash messenger with a sword! The wolf's head flew into the air, blood spilling in a long arc in the air, and the wolf's head flew far away......
