Chapter 057: Ice Wolf

"My king, the ice wolf has invaded!"

The scout's proclamation made Zoro's newly stretched forehead wrinkle again, and it was covered with faintly visible green tendons. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

According to the scout's report, there are no more and no less wolves in the territory.

As you can see, the size of the enemy on the green and velvety plains is about 1,000 people.

“…… It's just that compared to the werewolves I've seen in my impression, it seems to be a little different. ”

The angular eyes of the gaze, looking straight ahead, seemed to be different from what Sauron remembered. These wolves are not very strong except that they are white, and they are more suitable than wolf warriors, but wanderers who scavenge for food, or marauders.

These about 1,000 ice wolf clans are generally thin, their fur is plain black and gray, and some wolf clans still have freshly hunted wild animals on their backs, their stomachs are bulging, as if they have just eaten a full meal, and their sharp mouths are chewing and biting, because they are thin and their cheeks are obviously sunken.

Every enemy that invades the Eagle Strike Grand Canyon must be dealt a bloody blow.

Temporarily pressing the doubts hanging in his heart, he leaned down and hid behind the rocks, and behind Sauron were more than two hundred **** warriors and a hundred griffin hunters.

Seeing the wolves approaching, Zoro raised his hand, his shoulder blades shrugged up slightly, and he motioned for Xianli and his griffon hunters not to move yet, lest they startle the snake.

When the wolves continued to go deeper and were about to enter the ambush, Zoro locked on the two or three wolves who had entered the entrance to this canyon first.

Sauron's sword-clenched arm exposed several green tendons that squirmed like snakes under his skin.

He had an unpleasant memory of encountering the Eagle Clan before, and he wouldn't forget it so easily.

A bloody battle broke out in an instant.

"Eagle strikes the sky~~~"

The roar of battle resounded through the small sky, and Sauron stood up and slammed his steps as if he were stepping on a springboard and shield-wielding his hand, leaping high into the air. The moment he aimed at his target, his right arm opened like lightning and struck forward with a lightning bolt.

The angry 'Eagle Strike' made it suddenly rise from the cliff and complete the blow, with an unstoppable power.

In a second's time, no matter how many question marks appear in the wolf clan's head, it doesn't matter anymore. The wolf clan was shocked, and before he could make a defensive move, he saw a wide arc smashing towards his head.

The temple skill, the eagle strike, flashed a light blade at the lower end of the body, a narrow blade, a straight blade, extremely lethal. I only heard a 'click', blood splashed in front of my eyes, and the wolf clan that was directly hit by the 'Eagle Strike', the smashed heads, and the blowout of blood can only be described as miserable.

"Eagle Strike: Jump from the air to attack the enemy, the strong shock can stun the enemies around the attack, and at the same time release the eagle to shelter."

As described in this sentence, in addition to the wolf clan who died on the spot, there were three other wolf clans at the same time, who were unsteady on their feet because of vertigo. At the same time, a sudden burst of light erupted from in front of Zoro, and the eagle shelter opened, forming an arc-shaped light curtain again.

In Sauron's heart, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised by the power of the eagle's blow and the opening of the light curtain protected by the eagle, but in battle, the sword in his hand would not pause for a moment. The blade of the sword was quickly swung, and the sword was slashed, and the throats of the two stunned wolf clans were hit, and blood sprayed immediately.

The stun effect carried by the Eagle Strike is only for a second, which is not short or long, but it is enough to wipe out two living lives.

Wait until the third wolf clan is from the stun effect, and suddenly realizes.

The sword that was swung out made Zoro have no time to defend himself, and the moment the other party raised the mace, he lifted his legs, hit the body of the wolf clan and made a click, it sounded like the shoulder joint had been dislocated, and the wolf clan who had been hit by the blow sounded a miserable scream.

Immediately after, without a trace of reason, Zoro kicked forward like lightning, and the opponent's not very strong body flew straight upside down, the body flipped 180 degrees in mid-air, and a perfect vicious dog pounced on the ground, and the whole wolf's mouth and a rock came into close contact, and the skin and flesh were opened, and the blood flowed.

……

…………

"Kill~~"

More than 200 Eagle Man Skywing Warriors launched the Templar Skill Eagle Strike at the same time, and that scene could only be described by the word 'shocking'. The three hundred wolf clans who took the lead in entering the ambush circle were caught off guard, and they were instantly smashed into meatloaf.

Among them, Weavers's performance was the most rapid, and he saw that the green tendons on his arms were bulging, and the muscles were rapidly protruding on his shoulders and arms. A cold light flashed in his eyes, and the eagle struck, slightly changing the angle and slashing down diagonally.

With a "bang", the unhindered cutting directly shook the ground. Blood splattered from the scene, from the shoulders to the abdomen of the wolf clan, which was neatly divided into two pieces, and the blood stained the dizzy companions around him were covered in blood. Seeing that the wolf clan around him was in a stun effect, Weavers slammed out with a backhand sword, hitting the opponent's face. Including the eyeballs that had exploded, it was a long, deep gash with white flesh and bright red blood oozing out of the flesh.

In front of more than two hundred Templars, including Weavers, an arc-shaped curtain of light formed and fell in the sight of many wolf clans, and behind each light curtain, there was an eagle-man skywing warrior wearing a heavy helmet with his wings outstretched, and his feet were full of heavy armor combat boots, bracer guards, arm guards, and shin guards.

Xiu Xiu ――――

When more than a hundred griffin hunters rose above the canyon, half-man-tall jet-black longbows and bowstrings sounded.

Unlike before, with the addition of Eagle Strike Grand Canyon, each griffon hunter carries two types of arrowheads in their quiver. Among them, the bone light arrow can reach 300 meters, and the Spartan iron arrow can only reach 200 meters away, but the lethality is several times more than that of the bone arrowhead.

"Your own combat morale is 1000 points, the enemy's combat morale is 0, and you have been defeated!"

As this set of data shows, in Sauron's ears, on the flat ground at the bottom of the canyon, all other voices have been dormant, and all but the howls of battle can be heard as arrows graze the air.

More than a thousand wolf clans, after leaving the corpses of four or five hundred companions, directly chose to flee. Looking at their panicked and hasty escape, it seems that they did not come to the Eagle Canyon at first, but accidentally broke into the boundary of the Eagle Man.

With his eyes fixed on the direction of the wolf clan's rout, Zoro narrowed his eyes. In addition to contempt and sarcasm, there was more suspicion in his eyes. He held his head high, pointed diagonally ahead with his bloody sword, and ordered without looking back, "Griffin hunters, go after and hunt down these lowly wolf clans." But...... Don't forget to catch a live one or two! ”

"Yes, my king!"

Xianli, leading a hundred griffin hunters, followed the direction of the wolf clan's rout, and chased and killed all the way.

Next, as far as the eye could see, the warriors of the Eagle Man Holy Order raised their butcher knives, cut off more than 500 wolf heads in a row, directly inserted sharp wooden stakes, and erected them on the border of the southern plain.

Looking at the head on the stake, the sloppy, godless eyes of the dead, under the heavy helmet of horsehair, Sauron's clear eyes became cold and shining, as hard as steel, "The eagle man treats the intruder without mercy. …… Want to bring chaos and destruction here, that's the price! ”

As Zoro believes, the Ice Wolf Clan does not belong to the Wolf Clan, although it is a despicable wandering race in the ice and snow, but they come and go as fast as the wind, and one day in the future, the Eagle Man will always be unguarded. If the scale of the invasion is in hundreds, or even a few dozens, it will be difficult for scouts to detect it in the first place. How to better guard against the wolf clan made Zoro realize that after losing the main army of the eagle people, it is urgent to establish a cavalry team from the slaves that can react quickly.

Back at the residence, Sauron summoned the Elder of the Eagle People, looking at the crumpled old face that had crawled over the years, his pair of beads turning vividly and freely, always shining with wisdom, "My Interior Officer, go and count the knights of our slaves and freedmen at once, and gather them all." ”

In this God-given trade, the winged war horses purchased from the kingdom of the gods, although not as tall as some horses, are strong and powerful, fast, and have very good endurance, and more importantly, they are sky mounts, it is said that such war horses belong to the mounts of the gods. Even on land, it runs fast and steadily.

About twenty minutes later, the Eagle Man Elder, who had a certain level of efficiency, soon came to report.

"My king, according to statistics, there are more than 300 people who are skilled in horsemanship. There was a human slave named Viado, who was a knight nobleman before he became a captive! ”

With the introduction of the Eagle Elder, standing in front of Zoro was a plain human about thirty years old.

He was dressed in a simple and rough leather armor and wore tattered high-tipped leather boots on his feet. Tall, square-faced, and very burly. There was a black mole on his chin, and those eyes gleamed in the darkness, making Sauron feel that the man was rough and not lacking in shrewdness.

"Dear Eagle King, as your subjects, please accept Vyador's allegiance!"

Sauron didn't say anything, and Viardo shrewdly knelt on the ground, one of his trouser legs reaching only his knees because of tatters. On the exposed shaggy calf, there were countless tendons, large and small, connected by high bulging blood vessels, probably caused by the perennial kicking of the horse's belly.

"Target - Free Folk with 5 stars for weapon mastery, 6 stars for cavalry proficiency, 4 stars for general potential, and 5 stars for loyalty."

Through the data, Zoro nodded slightly in satisfaction that this person had the potential to become a general.

As a former nobleman, Vyado knew how to be inferior and hilarious, and he was very amuseful not to report his surname without Sauron asking.

As Sauron knew, this man had grown up on horseback and had a deep knowledge of horses, and they were able to breed not only excellent horse breeds. It is said that everyone who followed him was an experienced cavalryman, and the entire army of the Plains Rice Cake Gang was mainly light cavalry, and they were very good at riding and shooting.

It was with this in mind that Sauron continued, "Viador, I will appoint you as a general, commander of the cavalry. ”

Hearing this, a light of surprise erupted from Viado's eyes. But he didn't want Sauron to pause suddenly, the corners of his forehead became very high, and a few faint green tendons slowly appeared on his forehead. "In addition, I command you, among the freemen, to form and train for me a light cavalry of two thousand men. Soon after, I will personally inspect it, and I hope you will not think that the ruler of the Eagle Strike Grand Canyon is stupid and deceitful, because no one will want to see the consequences with their own eyes. ”

If Viado was still a little insincere because Sauron looked like an eagle man before. But at this moment, I listened to the other party's warning words, especially when I saw the silver pupils that pierced everything. Viado inexplicably felt a chill all over his body, and it felt like being pricked by a sharp needle, gasping for cold air, and his whole body was a little numb.

"My king! Viardo will definitely give it his all! ”

With the response of the cavalry general Vyador. From top to bottom, Zoro's gaze was fixed on his face, and he saw two new sets of data.

"The appointment of the general was successful. General Viardo, 7 stars of loyalty, 2 stars of commandery. Battlefield influence, as a general, this person has a certain enthusiasm for fighting, but he still knows little about the overall situation. ”

"Personal charisma, 5 stars for weapon mastery, 8 stars for horse combat mastery, 5 stars for general potential. Loyal and reliable for the time being! ”

Witnessing Viardo's loyalty increase proves that Zoro didn't just speak in vain. Although he felt that this Viado might be unreliable in the future, it seemed that there was no other choice.

"Take your men and go to the Red Canyon to find Archon Rudolph and tell him what kind of weapons you need. As for the saddles and leather armour, they were apportioned among the slaves and freemen, and they were ordered to complete them within the five-day period. ”

Sauron said the above words to both Viador and Elder Hawkman at the same time.

At present, iron ore and weapon forging, on the basis of inheriting the Ice Tribe, all exist in the Red Grand Canyon.

The production process of the remaining leather armor and saddle is relatively simple, the animal skin is dried and boiled in an oil pot. Then dry, knead soft, sewn and the freedmen can finish it.

Although Sauron knew that there was also a kind of ace unit called the Ironclad Cavalry. Even if you encounter a sky class like the Eagle Man, you will not be afraid.

However, the ironclad cavalry was fully armoured with men and horses, of which the helmet and cuirass were made of a single piece of stainless steel, and the rest of the parts were supplemented by scale armor or chain mail. The face of the ironclad cavalry is usually covered with a malevolent metal mask. The armor of the mount also covered the whole body with scales, which reached the horse's knees.

With the current iron-smelting process of the Eagle Strike Grand Canyon. To create 2,000 sets of such cavalry iron armor, it will not only take manpower and energy, but also take a long time.

Therefore, for the Eagle Strike Grand Canyon at this stage, it is more suitable to form a light cavalry that is agile and mainly cavalry and archery.

After about forty minutes, Xianli returned with a hundred griffon hunters, harvesting more than sixty wolf heads and two alive.

The voice shouted desperately like a wolf's howl, and through close inspection, the two wolf clans who were on the ground but were always struggling, their eyes were obviously blue with conical pupils, and their short soft fur covered most of their cheeks. The eyebrows are joined together and the palms are hairy. The clothes on their bodies are negligible, and like most orcs, the two wolf people are covered in fur, and their bodies are more like wolves than humans. (To be continued.) )
