Chapter 46: Breaking Attack
"Quack!" The call of the dead bird broke the silence of the moonless night. The swaying branches of the pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info fangs and claws under the hazy starlight, as if they were animated monsters. In this gloomy mountain forest, several lights and shadows shuttled endlessly, and then the clear 'sonorous' life also sounded.
"Click! Click! The severed branches made a series of noises as they hit the ground one after the other. With the cold light flashing, the main composition of this dense forest was more or less missing.
Barrett, who was holding the 'Broken Peak' in his hand, stopped between the gaps in the dense forest, and stared at the black shadows around him: "I didn't expect that I would also hunt geese all day long, and finally be pecked blind by geese. ”
The fall of several border cities, including the city of Ulrika, caused another earthquake in Lucia. If the previous field defeat in the Western Theater had given Lucia a blow to the blow, the fall of the city that followed had cut a big hole in them—it really hurt them.
So this time, the Lucia higher-ups changed the old arguments and organized a counterattack in a very short time. The Nohan army, which had managed to establish a framework for rule, encountered a new challenge before it could gain a firm foothold - an elite raider from within Lucia.
These troops did not belong to the public establishment of the Kingdom of Lucia, but were elite private soldiers cultivated by the major families. Those big aristocrats who had been unexpectedly accustomed to the private use of public weapons finally felt a huge threat to their survival. In the case that this will affect the survival of their family, these families who have been lying on the kingdom for many years to suck blood have finally begun to feed their motherland.
The elite of the great families attacked the Norhan kingdom in the wilderness, and the supply lines that had been stretched out by the war. At the same time, look for opportunities to create all kinds of chaos in the city. They don't care about the safety of the civilians at all, and as long as they can influence the rule of Nohan, these guys don't mind wielding butcher knives against their compatriots.
So in just one week, those guys caused 3 massacres and 2 fires in Ulrika City. And one of the targets of the destruction was the first to join the cooperation of Nohan. You must know that the loss of this 'horse bone' has greatly deterred other 'leading parties'. It has severely affected the minds of those who have wavered, and at the same time has dealt a major blow to administrative efficiency.
And that's just one part of Ulrika City. The other cities of Lucia that fell into the hands of the Kingdom of Norhan all suffered more or less the same accident. This can be said to be a slap in the face on the side of Nohan, and they can't help but deal with it.
But although Ulrika City is a border city, the height of its walls is obviously not satisfactory. Although in the previous siege of the city, the Nohan army gained a lot of convenience and reduced a lot of losses. But the problems that had plagued Lucia's defenders were now on their heads.
At such a time, it is no longer possible to solve the problem by holding on to it, and in order to consolidate the gains made so far, the Norhan side must take the initiative. And if they want to deal with the elite team sent by Lucia, Norhan can only deal with it with elites - playing crowd tactics in front of those Lucia who are more familiar with the terrain is not intended to be worth the loss.
Because of the limited time, the Earl of Boreham naturally used all the resources around him. These days, Barrett spends a lot of time with the Lucians in the woods. To be honest, the hand-to-hand combat of this kind of elite troops is far more dangerous for a professional with a certain strength like Barrett than the previous siege warfare.
In less than a week, the comrades who had left with Barrett had been separated from the previous battle - even if they had been mentally prepared in advance, this time the raiding team still suffered an unexpected blow.
At this time, Barrett kicked away the corpse that had caused him to fall into the siege, and if he had had some respect for the Lucia warrior who had struggled under his own attack a moment ago, he could not care much now.
The enemy's iron fist was covered with fluff, and his sharp nails were like monkey claws, and even his first impression was that of a big horse monkey. But Barrett knew that the opponent in front of him was not an ape-man, but a special profession that had brought out his wildness through the penance of a beastly lifestyle.
The wide Mo Knife was not suitable for use in the woods, but Barrett still chose this one of his strongest weapons. This is not only because of its own power, but more importantly, because of its long-term use, Barrett is most familiar with it. So even if he would suffer some restrictions in battle, he admitted it.
In the face of the shadows that flew from the trees, Barrett did not retreat. Although the unarmed wild man in front of him is very good at attacking the top in the jungle. But with nowhere to borrow in mid-air, once the enemy sees through his intentions and attack trajectory, then what awaits him will be a disaster.
And the battle-hardened Barrett will not be fooled by the wild man's various feints, and the blade in his hand is aimed at the core of the target, as if in the blink of an eye, it seems to have cut the opponent in two.
"Roar—" But at that moment, a pungent smell accompanied by the loud roar forced Barrett to turn his attention to a new threat—a large tiger leaping out of the shadows nearby. With its teeth bared and its tail erected, it lunged at Barrett.
The tiger's tail swept against the bushes, making a ruffle of brushes and sending tiny leaves flying in all directions. Barrett's initial visual inspection revealed that the tiger was more than 20 feet long and nearly 10 feet wide on the front – more than twice as large as the average tiger.
Then I saw the tiger, which was covered with brownish, yellow and black stripes, pressed its two front paws on the ground slightly, pounced on its whole body, and rushed down from mid-air.
As it rested in mid-air, Barrett could see very clearly that its overall beautiful skin color was shining, and that its lips, chin, abdomen, and inner limbs were covered with patches of white hair.
'Ferocious Tiger? Is this the Lucia's hole card? Barrett rolled backwards to avoid the tiger's claws, not knowing whether to tighten or breathe a sigh of relief—after all, unknown threats are the most terrifying. However, the creature of the ferocious tiger is a fierce beast in the true sense of the Western Continent, even Barrett can't easily solve it. (To be continued.) )
