Chapter 121: The Werewolf Family (4000 words)
The sky was getting gloomy, and the refugees gathered outside the city gradually dispersed, each looking for a place to live, and only some of the undead remained there.
Dark clouds began to coalesce, and darkness gradually enveloped the land.
The wind was noisy, the sky was full of dust, and the light was getting less and less, and the visibility was rapidly decreasing.
The clouds grew thicker and thicker, and finally, when I couldn't see my fingers......
Syllable!
An ice hockey ball landed and smashed into the treetops, bending and breaking the branches and leaves above with a soft thud.
Hail, here.
In an instant, the earth became potholed, vast swaths of trees were destroyed, branches snapped, green sap gushed out, and crumbling in the overwhelming hail.
Angela and the others were in the woods at the moment, and everyone looked overhead in horror, listening to the sound of the impact that kept coming to their ears overhead, and listening to the sound of the trees around them being overwhelmed and even broken.
For a while, everyone's faces changed greatly.
After a while, everyone sensed that something was wrong.
The hailstones smashed for a long time, but none of them fell on me.
In the campfire, the flames shook slightly, unaffected by the hail.
Could it be that the hail is not big, no, this hail is not small, as long as you look at the miserable scenes within the visual range of the surroundings, you can know that this hail is so big that it is rare in life.
It was only then that they remembered Angela's assurance, and no wonder Angela had the confidence to enter the city when it was hailing.
This is the power of magic.
Moreover, think about it, at this time, where will there be people on the city wall, so it does not seem too difficult for them to enter the city without being hit by hail.
"Let's go!"
Watching the hail fall bigger and bigger, Angela stood up, holding Anne with one hand and a little with the other, and a few points of crystal light appeared in the air, radiating a soft white light that illuminated the surroundings.
With Angela's movement, everyone can see it.
There seems to be an invisible barrier that makes the surrounding hail involuntarily deflect away.
The originally muddy road, as Angela approached, the moisture on it immediately disappeared and became dry, which made the road much easier.
The four soldiers looked at each other, and then one of them said, "Let's go, let's follow." β
After speaking, his eyes were full of murderous intent.
To be able to escape from that situation, none of the four of them is easy to mess with, although they are not as good as knights, but their own skills are no worse than knight apprentices, in terms of combat experience, all of them are veterans of a hundred battles, and with the same equipment, fighting with knight apprentices on the battlefield, it is definitely a knight apprentice who dies.
It's just a pity that there is no such thing as fairness in this world.
The knight apprentices were much better equipped than they were, enough to erase the experience gap between them, plus a horse that played a much greater role on the battlefield than they did.
So, they are just cannon fodder, and the knight apprentice is the commander's reserve.
But even if it is cannon fodder, it is also a human being, and it has seven emotions and six desires.
The original family was torn apart, then abandoned, and the brothers who depended on each other for life and death were killed by their loyal masters, and it is impossible to say that they have no resentment in their hearts, on the contrary, this resentment is great.
As veterans of a hundred battles, they have been in the army for twenty or thirty years, the older ones are in their 50s, and the younger ones are also in their 40s.
And death, there is also a way to die.
One is suicide and the other is being killed by someone else.
If they commit suicide, they are not reconciled.
Therefore, it is only necessary to be killed by others.
But if you are killed by others, it is not cost-effective, so you have to make a deal without losing money.
Killing the guy they call the master and avenging the brothers is not a loss, but a big profit.
They are all elite soldiers in a hundred battles, and one of them is a heavy crossbowman, and with a careful arrangement, there is still a good chance in this foreign country.
So, in order to take revenge, they must follow Angela into the city so that they can have a chance.
As a satellite city of the imperial capital, Alok is small, but the city walls are not ambiguous.
The 40-foot-tall walls are tall and thick, made of bluestone bricks, lined with arrow towers, and a section of the wall protrudes every other distance, as long as there are enough soldiers to defend it, the defense of the city wall is definitely multiplied, and the cost of attacking it is staggering.
However, a hailstorm brought the city's defenses to the brink of collapse.
In the hailstorm, not to mention the dark clouds and hail in the sky that limited the field of vision, the overwhelming attack of the hail itself made the soldiers have to take refuge in the attic, in the arrow tower or at the foot of the city wall, as for the unsheltered place on the city wall, there is no one at all.
There was no one on the city walls, and the strength of the defense can be imagined.
Angela and his group easily came to the foot of the city wall, the city wall is quite strong, the hail that fell from the head and face did not damage the city wall too much, more of the hail itself hit the bones, but only left a small white spot on the city wall.
However, when there are many small white spots, it looks potholed, and there are always some weak or disrepaired places that are unbearable and then collapse.
Angela and the others came to this place, and after a flotation operation, everyone felt light, and then easily climbed up along the gap and infiltrated the city.
At the moment, the city is not having a good time.
A large number of houses collapsed, and some, if not completely, had their roofs lifted, keeping the people inside busy.
Angela and the others didn't have long to walk before they met a hapless guy with a bleeding head lying on the ground, and it seemed that he didn't have time to dodge in time, and was stoned to death by the hail.
This is true in the city, and it is even more self-evident outside the city, especially those who gather outside the city walls and linger and refuse to leave.
At this moment, the troubles of the city's overpopulation were gone, and of course, they were replaced by more and more troublesome troubles.
Not long after they walked again, Angela and the others came across a corpse again, but this time it was not human, but a ghoul's.
Vaolet couldn't help but look up at the sky and sighed: "Damn, even the ghouls were stoned to death, this hail ......"
Ghouls have rough skin and thick flesh, and a normal level of blunt blow is a massage for them, and being able to smash them to death also proves that this hail is really strong enough.
A group of people wandered around the city and finally found a place to liveβthe lair of a werewolf family.
It's a small courtyard, and there are many more courtyards like this in the city, so it's not impressive.
However, the owner here is looking for death, and he obviously saw the strange place of Angela and his group, but he launched an attack.
It is a family of five, consisting of a father, a mother, two brothers and a younger sister.
This family of five is a happy family in the eyes of others, the father is strong and the two brothers are strong, the mother and sister are beautiful, and the family is harmonious and happy, and they don't worry about eating and drinking.
But what those people didn't know was that whenever darkness covered the earth, the family would come out in search of food, and once they found it, they would either divide it up on the spot, or take it home and pickle it as a reserve.
They really hid it well, but unfortunately it hit the iron plate today.
The thick fur of the werewolf can slow down the impact of hail very well, coupled with the strong vitality of the werewolf, therefore, the hail that can smash the ghoul is only painful for the werewolf.
Despite this, werewolves are still reluctant to go out in this weather, and this family is an exception because they have run out of food.
I could have endured it with hunger, but when my clever sister said, "There must be a lot of houses being smashed in such weather," my father and mother's eyes lit up, and they decided to go out in search of food.
It was the younger brother who spotted Angela and his party, and then roared and gave a signal, revealing from the roar that there were quite a few people in this group.
Then, his parents, older siblings, set up an encirclement in front of him as usual, and only waited for his brother to intimidate the food, drive the food into the encirclement to prevent the food from escaping, and a massacre followed.
They have done a lot of this kind of thing, and practice makes perfect.
However, the plan was problematic from the start.
The younger brother pounced out of the alley, his dark and thick hair bounced the crystal hail away, and approached Angela's group like lightning, and pounced on a little boy who was walking a little slowly.
He thought to himself: as long as this little creature is torn apart, and the noise is loud, and the scene is bloody, the others will surely be frightened by me and flee forward.
Seeing that it was getting closer, and seeing that his claws were about to touch the delicate skin, the younger brother showed a bloodthirsty smile, and his sharp teeth gleamed in the darkness.
A blood flower will bloom next, and the child's delicate skin will be torn apart by its claws.
However, a heavily armed soldier beside the little boy moved, only to see him suddenly turn around, knock the little boy to the side, and quickly remove the shield hanging from his back and cross it in front of him.
The four soldiers are all veterans of a hundred battles, don't look at them usually inconspicuous, they are extremely vigilant, and they never forget to look at their surroundings.
And this time, the surprise attack of the werewolf family's younger brother was discovered by one of the soldiers.
That's fine! Killing a strong man may make them even more scared.
Thinking so, the younger brother ran forward faster, as if intending to smash the shield directly with brute force.
Suddenly, there was severe pain all over his body, and his eyes were blood-red.
The younger brother's eyes widened in disbelief as he suddenly changed from a circle to a cone, suddenly changed direction, and increased his strength, breaking through the defenses of his epidermis, and sticking these hailstones into his body... Icicle.
This...... What's going on.
There were at least thirty or forty ice picks stuck in his body, and the younger brother, who looked like a hedgehog, could no longer maintain the balance of his body, and fell to the ground with a slight sway, accompanied by broken ice, and slid all the way to the front of the soldier.
The soldier was slightly stunned, and raised his short sword and plunged it into his brother's eye socket.
The younger brother's eyes went black, and with the agitation of the soldier's short sword, he turned into a corpse.
The soldier looked at this scene in a daze, he never thought that he, who was ready to die just now, would kill this almost invincible enemy so easily.
But when I saw the situation of the werewolf in front of me, I suddenly realized that it was no wonder it was so easy.
He put away his sword and shield and pulled up the little boy he had just knocked down.
"Little one, it's okay!"
After speaking, he rubbed the head of the little guy in front of him, and this soft feeling couldn't help but remind him of his own child.
Back then, when he left the house to see his son for the last time, he was so old.
The little boy obviously felt a little uncomfortable with the soldier's affectionate behavior, tilted his head, and finally did not hide, but his cheeks were red, obviously shy, and he mustered up his courage, and finally said timidly: "Thank you, uncle." β
This was the first person to be so close to him since he woke up, and before, only his parents occasionally made these intimate gestures.
As for Angela, Angela, who is obviously patriarchal, does not make the little boy feel close.
"Haha!"
The soldier touched the back of his head, but what he touched was a cold helmet, and he didn't know how to deal with this situation after being in the army for a long time, so he had to smile awkwardly.
After an episode, the team moved forward again.
Before they knew it, the soldier and the boy were much closer.
And the soldier's eyes that were originally looking at death as if they were at home had a touch of tenderness, really, I really want to have such a child!
Ahead, the other four members of the werewolf family were waiting anxiously.
According to his younger brother's efficiency, in the past, that group of food should have entered the ambush circle a long time ago, but now, why hasn't it come yet.
However, the thought that it might be the hail that slowed down the speed of the food made me patient.
Angela, who was leading the way in front of her, paused at her feet and suddenly stopped.
Anne tripped on her left foot and almost fell to the ground, only to be grabbed by Angela.
The children who were in a hurry crashed into each other, and after a loud noise, they quieted down and looked at Angela suspiciously.
Valolet and Caroline walked up to the left and right, and asked, "Teacher, what's wrong?" β
Angela smiled and shook her head, "It's nothing, it's just that we've found a place to live." β
Everyone was overjoyed, even if the hail could not hit them, but the darkness was terrifying, and the bitter cold wind was so cold that they wished they could find a place to rest as soon as possible.
"But......" Angela raised everyone's hearts again, and said slowly, "I have to deal with it first." β
With that, her lips moved slightly, and she recited the incantation, and streams of water magic gushed out from Angela's body.
Everyone held their breath and watched Angela's actions, and they vaguely guessed something.
The father felt a little uneasy, this was when his son sent the signal just now, and it was getting stronger and stronger, but because he didn't know where this feeling came from, he was in a trance and a little irritable.
Suddenly, the feeling from the darkness made his heart alarm bells, and the hair on his body stood on end, and a terrible scream came into his ears.
