Chapter 61: Attacked
At this time, on the mountain road, the ferocious werewolves pounced fearlessly, even if the enemy in front of them was the elite knights of the Renault family, and they were greeted by sharp swords.
A werewolf was cleaved by a knight on a horse, and blood gushed out of his throat, soaking his white fur, and the werewolf let out a miserable wail before falling under the horse's hooves. But the knight was also pounced on from his horse by a werewolf, and he and the werewolf rolled down on the snow, rolling up snowflakes. His companion's eyes were red, but the werewolves around him made him unable to free his hands, and he could only slash and kill the werewolves around him tiredly.
The werewolf was kicked off by the strong iron hooves of the war horse, and like a roll of broken leather, it fell on the snow in the distance, and did not move.
"He's dead." The knight captain glanced at his companion on the ground, and found that this companion was lying silently on the snow at this time, and a huge gap in his throat was bitten by the werewolf, and Yin Yin's blood still gushed out.
"Butler, there are too many werewolves, we can only delay time for you here, you take the young master and young lady to leave first." The bloodied knight captain said to the butler.
"Take care of yourself," the butler also knew how dangerous the situation was in front of him, there were too many werewolves, not only the first ones, but later he didn't know where to drill out more. Although these knights are all elites, they are also powerless in the face of werewolves who are several times their number.
"You also protect the young master and young lady, they are the last hope of our family." The captain of the knights smiled soundly, turned his horse's head, and returned to his companions with blood, and he led the knights to fend off the werewolves, buying time for their escape.
"Young master, young lady." Ataqui rode a horse with the second miss, who was visibly frightened, wrapped herself tightly in her leather coat, and looked at the ground with her eyes blank. Ataqui sighed, the second lady has always been raised by Madame as a real girl, and it seems that she has lost the blood of the Northlanders, and she is much worse than her sister and sister.
He led the two of them to speed up the mountain road on horseback, and he was slightly relieved when he didn't seem to hear the sound of fighting behind him.
But at this moment, the situation changed abruptly, and in the snow on both sides of the mountain road, suddenly snowflakes exploded, and the fluttering snowflakes confused the vision. Ataqui was shocked, he wanted to shout to remind the young master and the young master to run away, he wanted to pull out the sword that he had never used on his waist, the long sword with a more decorative role, for the Renault family to make the last effort, so that the young master and young master could escape, but the sharp pain in his legs made his eyes dark.
He only felt that he had fallen off his horse, and there was a cold temperature and the smell of snow beside his face, and before he lost consciousness, he seemed to hear the second young lady's mournful scream and the third young master's angry roar. After that he couldn't hear anything, he couldn't hear anything.
β¦β¦β¦
"Stopβ" The hunter suddenly paused and gestured.
The warriors who followed not far behind him suddenly stopped, and the leader quietly walked over and asked, "How is it, what did you find?" By this time, the sound of the fighting had long since dissipated, and now it was impossible to hear it at all, and the surrounding environment was only silence and the occasional crow cry in the distance.
The hunter raised her head and sniffed the air, and she said, "There is a lot of blood not far ahead, and it may be the battlefield. β
"What about werewolves? Isn't the werewolf there? A man followed, and he asked anxiously.
"Probably gone, I didn't hear the werewolf," the hunter said.
"Not necessarily." "The werewolves may still be nearby, they may still be watching us, even if they have killed all the enemies, these werewolves are the most cunning of the orcs," said the leader. The leader looked around, and there was silence all around, as if nothing was wrong, but he was still suspicious.
"Shall we go then?" The man asked, clenching his weapon and looking around warily.
"Of course we go, we were targeting the werewolves from the beginning." The leader beckoned the warriors behind him to follow, and he said, "Even if the werewolves are gone, we can still find some weapons and armor on the battlefield, those werewolves don't like to wear armor, and they don't like to pack these things. β
The hunter nodded, and walked ahead vigilantly, his bow and arrow in his hand.
The others followed, also with their weapons in hand, walking slowly and vigilantly.
They descended a snowy slope.
The snow frozen by the cold was so hard that even a strong horse would not easily sink down it, and a group of people carefully slid down the snowy slope.
"Chief, the battlefield is ahead, and the bloody atmosphere is getting thicker and thicker." The hunter who walked in front whispered.
The leader's face was solemn, and even without the hunter's reminder, he knew that the battlefield was ahead, because the bloody aura was too strong. The warriors in the back also had solemn faces, how many people would have to die to have such a heavy bloody aura.
The hunter who was walking in front suddenly stopped, and she looked straight ahead.
It was a flag, a banner of the Renault family, and he was planted diagonally on the snow, surrounded by dead knights and werewolves, and dead horses. Bright blood soaked the flag, and the familiar white bear had been dyed red and frozen in the cold wind.
"It's the banner of the Renault family." The leader said in a deep voice, as a Northlander, there was no one who had not heard the name of the Renault family.
This is a true Northland family, strict family rules and martial spirit, all of which make Northland people proud.
The Empire abandoned the Northlands, and the nobles abandoned the Northlands, except for the Renault family, who were still stationed in the Ice Castle to defend against the Orcs.
That was the last dignity of the Northlanders.
"It's the flag of the Renault family, how can the flag of the Renault family be here?" The warriors were discussing, "Could it be that the Ice Castle has also been breached by the orcs?" "One of the fighters said so.
As soon as this voice came out, everyone suddenly lost their voices, as a Northlander, who would want the Ice Castle to be broken by the orcs, but the fact is here, there is no problem with the Ice Castle, and the banner of the Renault family will definitely not appear here.
Not to mention the knights who died in battle, many of them knew about it. Because only the Renault family in the Northland has these elite knights, and the other nobles have at most some infantry.
"Hunter, go and see if there are any survivors," the leader said, looking up, "and the others will bury the bodies of these knights on the spot, deeper, and we can't let the white wolves and bears dig up their corpses." β
Everyone went about their work, but the negativity quickly spread through the ranks, and the leader was no exception. He sat on the carcass of a war horse, smoking a cigarette, and a few clouds of smoke slowly floated up.
The leader looked at the banner that was frozen in the cold wind, and sighed inwardly. They are like ants that live tenaciously under the noses of orcs, and they originally had the existence of Ice Castle to attract the attention of orcs, and maybe the orcs didn't care about them. But now that the Ice Castle has been captured by the orcs, then they are like lice on the bald head, will the orcs let them go?
The leader didn't know if these people who had gathered together to survive would survive in the end, especially when he saw this flag, he really despaired.
