Chapter 38: Victory
Another flash of light flashed, and one of the royal knights, who had been wounded in the battle with the Dreadguards, recovered from his injuries and thanked the girl, "Thank you, Major Thurberchel. ”
"You're welcome, that's what a paladin should do." Claudia wiped the sweat from her forehead with her hand and smiled at him.
Then the girl turned around and began to look for the next royal knight who needed to be treated, in just a short period of time, she had treated more than ten royal knights, although she was a little tired, but she liked the feeling of helping and redeeming others.
As the assembly horn sounded, Claudia stopped treating the other knights and walked over to Varian, who also saw the sweat on her forehead and handed her a small kettle: "Come, drink some of this, hurry up and recover, we will have to fight soon." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Claudia hurriedly took the kettle and took a sip, but found that it was not water, but a medicine, she had consumed a lot of physical and mental strength as soon as she drank the medicine, and immediately began to recover quickly, the girl looked up at Varian, and Varian looked down with a faint approving look on his face and looked at his adjutant and patted her shoulder: "You did a good job in the battle just now, and my back will be handed over to you in a while." ”
Claudia suddenly panicked during the brief look at each other, and after she reacted, she lowered her head and whispered, "Your Majesty, I will definitely use my life to protect you." ”
Varian also noticed the girl's panic, but he didn't care about his lieutenant at this time, nodded slightly and turned to encourage the other royal knights, at this time, the other royal knights also began to stop chasing the demons after hearing the horn, and instead gathered towards the king's location, the other follow-up teams will continue to sweep away the scattered demons, and the royal knights will form sharp knives again.
The surviving horses also regrouped in the unified whistle, these specially bred horses were strong and disciplined, and could be transferred by their own knights, many of the knights who had just lost their horses like Varian, found the ownerless horses and briefly pacified them, and waited for the king's new orders, and Varian also ordered:
"Let's go to the aid of our allies first."
"Order the troops not to waste too much time on the other demons, and to keep up as soon as possible, we must completely destroy the remaining forces of the other party first."
After the military order was issued, the short rest time was over, and the royal knights got on their horses and charged again, at this time, the demons in the first half had already collapsed, so after killing the scattered demons, the knights had already arrived near the Night Elf army, and Claudia also saw the situation on the night battlefield at this time.
At this time, the remaining demon armies have been fought together by the Night Elves, and just because they were eager to break the Night Elf army, most of the second round of chaotic rain fell on the side of the Night Elves, and those huge Heavenly Punishment Hounds and the opposing Demon Lord had also joined the attack on the Night Elves, and at this time, the elite Night Elf army had begun to fall into disadvantage.
Hellfire was okay, the Night Elves didn't lack powerful ranged archers, so Hellfire quickly fell one by one. And although the demon lord and his lieutenant were also extremely strong, they had also been stopped by the blue-haired priestess and a particularly strong giant bear at this time, and they couldn't rush into the ordinary warriors for a while.
The real trouble is the Heavenly Punishment Hound, the Heavenly Punishment Hound has a strong vitality, and it takes several arrows in his body to fall down, and the evil energy flames that erupt from his mouth have strong heat and evil energy erosion, even the giant bear can't stop it, so everywhere he goes, there is chaos all of a sudden, and many demon guards and other demons have also taken advantage of this chaos to rush into the ranks of the Night Elves.
"Charge, assist allies!" Varian ordered, and the royal knights spurred their horses into a breach, charging towards a gap in the battlefield where a number of demon guards continued to tear apart the Night Elf army under the attack of a Heavenly Punishment Hound.
At this time, the demon lord also noticed the arrival of the human knights, which meant that its intention to break through the night elves to reinforce the front troops had failed, and the demon lord began to retreat with an endless roar of unwillingness, forcing the blue-haired priestess and the giant bear back.
In fact, it has no choice, although retreating means losing a large part of the troops, but it is better to lose a part than to annihilate the entire army, and now the humans have arrived only a small number of knights, and after a while, the follow-up mage troops of the humans will probably not be able to run even if they want to.
The blue-haired priestess and the giant bear did not pursue the demon lord, she and the giant bear were both injured in the short battle just now, the giant bear was particularly seriously injured, and although the demon lord retreated, but still left a lot of demon armies and heavenly punishment hounds to break off, at this time the priestess began to hurry up to help the giant bear recover.
"Your Majesty, do you want to pursue?" After discovering all this, Arthur, the king's other lieutenant, asked.
Varian quickly decided: "Don't pursue just yet, we have too few people to arrive, and it's more important to help friendly forces than to hunt down the enemy." ”
"Understood."
The royal knights soon entered the battlefield of the Night Elves, and Varian, who was beside Claudia, also saw the Night Elves fighting, although most of the members of the Night Elf army were women, but their fighting will and strength were generally much stronger than the male soldiers of humans, so that the king couldn't help but show a look of appreciation, and from the bottom of his heart approved the proposal to form an alliance with the Night Elves.
The royal knights began to dismount and meet the demon army and began to assist the Night Elves in the battle, they all wore plate and chain mail double armor, and carried shields, compared to the female warriors of the Night Elves, more tenacious, after they blocked the demon guards, the pressure on the Night Elves was immediately relieved a lot. Varian also jumped up again and rushed into the middle of the demon guards, and several demon guards fell to the ground one after another, the heroic warrior was already an extremely terrifying existence in close combat, not to mention that Claudia was still assisting him not far away, so that he didn't have to worry too much about his own safety.
In addition to assisting Varian and guarding his flanks, Claudia occasionally heals the surrounding Night Elves with a white light, a familiar white light that quickly reaps the humans and lets down the last of their guard.
After killing a few more demon guards, there were not many demon guards around, and Varian then stared at the Heavenly Punishment Hound not far away, his eyes showed a look of eagerness, and said to the girl beside him, "Come, let's kill this big guy." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." Claudia didn't dissuade Varian from taking risks, the Celestial Punishment Hound had been running amok for a long time with its thick skin and flames, and had approached the royal knights and began to threaten others, but there was little the average royal knight could do with it.
Claudia unleashed a shield on Varian, and then he quickly charged at the Heavenly Punishment Hound, who also noticed the powerful aura of the human who was rapidly approaching it, and slammed at Varian, and a thick green evil flame erupted. However, Varian had already observed its movements before releasing the flames, dodging to the right and dodging the flames while it was still charging, before the king approached the Heavenly Punishment Hound and leaped high on its back.
Laugh at!
Varian's broadsword stabbed into the back of one of the Hounds' heads, the Hound screamed in pain, the King drew his broadsword, and a large amount of high-temperature green slurry splattered out of its body, Varian quickly jumped out of the way, and the remaining few were also stopped by the shield.
Claudia did not rush forward to melee combat, but seized the time when the king was close to condense the holy light, she raised her left hand, and more and more light condensed to her fingertips and aimed at the Heavenly Punishment Hound, after the king leaped back, a strong light energy broke away from her fingertips, and stabbed the other head of the Heavenly Punishment Hound with a devastating momentum.
Rumble!
The light struck the Hound's head and exploded, shattering the Hound's remaining head and crashing to the ground.
Claudia breathed a sigh of relief and looked around, seeing that there were few demons left, and the alliance had been completely victorious, the girl then walked towards Varian, who was stepping on the head that he had cut off in half with his great sword with his boots, and looked very good, and joked with the girl very rarely: "It's good that this guy has two heads, otherwise we wouldn't even have the loot." ”
Booty?
Claudia looked at the head carefully, forced a smile, and reminded him seriously: "Your Majesty, this thing looks more like, well, an enlarged version of the green-skinned dog's head......." ”
Before the words fell, Varian had already hurriedly left the corpse and returned to the girl, and laughed disapprovingly: "Hahaha, fortunately Claudia reminded me, don't bear it, laugh if you want to." ”
Claudia remembered the scene of the king stepping on the huge dog's head just now, and couldn't help laughing, after the girl's laughter, the relationship between the two became a lot closer, Claudia looked up at Varian, the king at this time, without the majestic mask he usually has, no longer high up and unapproachable, just like an ordinary warrior, she couldn't help but feel that Varian looked a little kind.
The girl didn't know what her feelings for Varian were, but at least now, seeing Varian's true personality under his majestic mask, she felt that Varian was very kind.
"There's a guest coming." Varian interrupted the girl's thoughts, and the girl turned to see the blue-haired longbow-wielding priestess and a firstborn druid walking towards them in the distance.
