Chapter Seventy-One: Crushing
The patriarch with the arrow in his eye socket was unwilling to fall backwards with seven points of astonishment and three points, and the elven arrow that came out of his skull cut off his brain stem for the first time, so that he didn't even have time to scream, and the tribal patriarch with hundreds of barbarians lost his life in an instant
“?”
The barbarians' brains, which have never been bright, did not react at all at this time, and most of them did not take up arms to prepare for the possible ensuing attack, but scratched the back of their heads and looked at their companions a little overwhelmed, which also made them lose their only possible chance......
Leo's Knights of Punishment and Dawn were not merciful to these barbarians who seemed to be a little honest and cute, and Ardalian's shots were like a signal to attack
The dim light did not pose any obstacle to the Noldor elves who also lived in the forest, and the dozen or so arrows that followed followed took the same amount of life with the same amount of life again
Only then did the slightly sober barbarian let out a panicked roar from his mouth, and his weapon in his hand searched for a possible attacker like a headless fly......
In the chaotic camp, there were even barbarians who trampled over the campfire in panic, and rolled on the ground, which made Leo intuitively understand why the barbarians, who were far beyond the human body, were always on the weak and eliminated side
Shaking his head at Finn, who had always been stubbornly guarding his side, Leo gave the order softly
"Assault, it doesn't matter how many barbarians run away, Professor Pericles' safety must be guaranteed, if he is still alive......"
Behind him, under the leadership of Keith, thirty heavily armed punishment knights beat their chests in silence, holding shields and one-handed swords, and rushed out without saying a word
At the same time, the Knights of the Dawn led by Ardalian are scattered to all corners of the Dark Forest, and they will use their bows and arrows to tell each other that it is not the barbarians who are the darlings of the forest!
A giant man who is also more than two meters tall looks at Keith who is taking the lead, beating his chest full of black hair like an orangutan, and the wooden stick in his hand is as thick as a child's waist, waving it heavily in the air like a demonstration
"It's the knights of the human race, those damned humans who killed the patriarchs, killed them, took their weapons and armor, and sacrificed the souls of their ancestors with their blood!"
In the eyes of the brainless barbarians, the comparison of body size often represents the level of combat power, of course, this judgment is correct in many cases, but it is just ......
Facing the giant man in front of him like a mountain, Keith pursed the corners of his lips, a mocking smile appeared under his silver visor, he didn't even think of using a shield to block this kind of attack that was unskilled by brute force alone
Accelerating in vain, the dexterous punishment knight armor on his body gave the knight the possibility of maneuvering, bending down, Keith rushed to the barbarian first, from a distance it was like being in the arms of the other party, the moment of contact, he reversed the hilt of the sword in his hand and slammed the barbarian's stomach with the diamond-shaped tail end
The sudden severe pain and vomiting made the barbarian warrior move slowly, his body bent subconsciously, and the long stick in his hand also had a brief pause, and after Keith succeeded in the blow, he did not hesitate, and swept sideways past the half-bent enemy, and the upside-down long sword seemed to have eyes, and the backhand was directly inserted into the opponent's lumbar vertebrae
Withstanding the barbarian warrior who pulled out the 'prayer' without looking at the fact that he was not dead for the time being, but because his spine was severed, he could no longer stand upright because he roared wildly, and shouted at his subordinates behind him
"Protect each other in pairs, disperse them, and keep an eye out for Professor Pericles!"
"Ho!"
The punishment knights behind him separated according to the order, and under the strangulation of groups of two, no one in the camp, whether it was a warrior or an ordinary barbarian, was a general under them, and the slaughter after the attack on the barbarians on the way to the imperial capital reappeared here, maybe after a few more times, I am afraid that the power of punishment will spread throughout the barbarian society
Steel against flesh, civilization against barbarism, in the midst of flesh and blood, the battle between the two consciousnesses quickly divided the winner and loser
After losing the leadership of the patriarch and the few remaining barbarian warriors being slaughtered by the well-armed Knights of Punishment and the Knights of Dawn, the remaining barbarians finally developed fear and realized that this was an enemy they could not defeat
Rushing up when you have the advantage, and fleeing when you are inferior, this is what the barbarian war is all about
After seeing the last of the patriarch's guards with axes split in half by Keith, the remaining barbarians first paused, then let out various terrified roars, threw away their crude weapons, and desperately fled into the depths of the forest......
Seeing this, the knights did not chase after him, after all, the forest still affected the strength of these heavily armored warriors too much, and listening to the screams from time to time, you could know that Aldaryan was leading his men on a happy hunt
Seeing Leo walking out accompanied by Finn, Keith put away his sword, looked at the knights who were cleaning the battlefield, and shook his head with some distress and said
"I'm sorry sir, but our people haven't found any trace of the professor yet, I'm afraid ......"
"No, no fear, my dear Keith, we may try to deduce that perhaps the Professor is not in this camp...... Well, little Charlie come over and tell me where the other barbarian camps are around here! ”
Turning behind Finn, little Charlie's legs trembled as he watched the bloody scene in the camp, swallowed and foamed at the mouth, and then bowed deeply to Leo in reply
"Honorable Great ...... My lord, this is the last camp I know, and the rest of the city has already been wiped out by the army of the imperial capital......"
"Damn it, what are you talking about, I ask you to think about it again, civilian!"
A little anxious, Leo reached out and grabbed little Charlie by the neck and shouted, now he was really worried about the worst possible outcome
At this moment, there was a sudden cheer among the Punishment Knights who were cleaning the camp, and soon Professor Pericles, supported by the two Punishment Knights, came to Leo's side, and pushed away Little Charlie, who was also happy, and Leo rushed towards the Professor angrily......
When he got closer, he saw the professor's weak appearance and tattered clothes, and his pitiful appearance made Leo's anger extinguish a lot, and finally all the words turned into a sigh, and he dragged his big coat off his hand to help the professor who was blue with cold, and Leo patted him on the shoulder
"Professor, this is the last time, understand, the last time I tolerate your childlike willfulness, otherwise I ...... I'm going to cut off all your research funding......"
He understood that any threat to this kind of scholar could be left behind, and only this threat could have some effect, looking at Professor Pericles, who was still nodding his head in fear, Leo let out a sigh of relief, thought about it and added softly
"If there is another thing like this, remember to inform Finn or the other knights, the same luck can't happen twice!"
Without further ado, Leo asked Finn to arrange for people to take care of the professor first by using the campfire in the camp, and if he didn't eat some food, the professor's current weak body would not be able to travel back for a long time
After all this was done, Leo led Keith into the middle of the barbarian camp, and to be honest, he was somewhat curious about this race that spread across the continent......
After a few casual conversations, Leo was about to step over a huge corpse on the ground, but Keith, who had been on high alert as long as he had been following Leo since the incident at the Academy, pushed him out
Without waiting for Leo to ask, Keith had already drawn his long sword again, and the tip of the sword was placed on the throat of the "corpse", and he drank in a deep voice
"He's alive, my lord!"
