Faced with the threats that could attack at any time as they roamed around the camp. Barrett grabbed the compound longbow and the corresponding quiver leaning against the wall below the observation hole. Barrett, who reached out and took out an arrow, did not open his bow and take aim, but hung his hands and waited for the right moment - partly to prevent muscle fatigue and partly because it did not cause too much wear and tear on the compound longbow itself.

Keep in mind that weapons such as bows and crossbows have a much lower lifespan than swords made of steel. This is not only because of the strength of the material, but more importantly, the charging and deformation of the bow and crossbow is extremely damaging to itself. So as a rule, 40 times is the limit for a compound longbow if it is not repaired - even if the bow arm is fine at this time, the bowstring will definitely become weak. Therefore, bowstrings made of animal parts are also a major expendable item in warfare.

Although among the team is Rielie and Claymatis. Bot can solve this problem with spells. But it is not easy to free them up in wartime. In this regard, Barrett naturally wanted to burden them as little as possible.

"Do I need to add status?" Claymatis holding a mace in his hand. Bot asked.

Barrett stared at the winter wolf outside and said without replying, "Wait a minute! Who knows when they're going to attack, throw a short one that is too early, and that's a waste. And judging from the current situation, it will be too late to add it after they have launched an attack. ”

Of course, Barrett's sentence came in time, not just because of the distance between the two sides. More importantly, the sentry has the advantage of giving them plenty of time to react. After all, it is not easy to break down the outer wall.

Then Barrett, who seemed to remember something, turned around and shouted, "Anvil and Lalu go and close the door quickly, and by the way, put up the two wooden shelves that they brought in before." I don't think the original latch alone will stop them a few times. ”

"Understood!" With this reply, the cat boy and the dwarf trotted to the gate of the sentry and closed the wooden door, which was rough but made of solid materials. Then lower the latch the thickness of the corn cob. Then, according to Barrett's instructions, the two wooden frames were fixed to the fulcrum of the wooden door.

"Barrett, are you going to defend it?" Rielly said as she began to sort out the scrolls on her belt to make sure she could grab the target of her choice in time and accurately when needed.

Barrett glanced back at the mage, "We also did the request of the Priest Weldon!" His task for us was to stand by and wait for help. So naturally, we want to make sure that this fortification does not fall into our own hands as much as possible. ”

"But in this case, if we want to retreat, we have to remove the obstacles we have set up first. That's a waste of time. Maybe we'll end up in this sentry because of this. "Claudia. Auditore couldn't help but complain at this time.

Barrett shook his head: "Do you think it will matter if the door is in charge when we have to retreat?" It's not that I don't want to imagine the strength of those patrolmen, it's that Priest Weldon has reminded me many times that they are not very reliable. In such a situation, there is a great possibility that we will be copied by the enemy. If you don't close the door. Maybe not long after the battle began, an enemy would come in from there. ”

"Don't think about the situation so badly, you guy! Maybe...... "Before Claudia arrived. As soon as Auditore had finished speaking, a wolf howl was heard outside the camp. As the first sound sounded, the howls of the wolves began one after another. Immediately, the damned winter wolves charged towards the camp.

Barrett, who came back to his senses, calculated the amount of the front and immediately opened his bow and fired. A series of beaded arrows of "whoosh" flew in the shape of a "pin" and flew towards a winter wolf that rushed to the front. Immediately after that, there was a "puff puff" sound like defeating leather. Even with the best compound longbows, ordinary arrows are a little less lethal when faced with the Winter Wolves. Barrett's attack hit the other side, but the arrows were only pierced through the fur before they were blocked by their strong muscles. Not even the bones were injured, let alone fatal.

However, it cannot be said that Barrett's attack was ineffective, and the winter wolf that was shot roared and rushed towards the sentry post where the royal gate was located with three companions around him. This also shared some pressure on the comrades in the camp. And Barrett, who has already achieved his goal. He immediately turned his gaze to the possible enemies behind the Winter Wolf.

At the same time, Rielly, who had given herself a mage armor, had already clenched her scepter and chanted a spell. At this critical moment, she didn't take out some gadgets from her pocket that had no real effect on casting spells, as she had done in the past. A small fireball will then be seen6 fly from above her finger.

The fireball flew easily out of the observation hole under the mage's instructions, and landed in one of the most dense areas of the winter wolves visible to Rielly. As the furious flames bloomed in the sky, the snowflakes that had been floating in the sky turned into rising steam in an instant. The snow on the surface was also steamed dry at the same time, revealing the cracked earth.

And the winter wolf that was enveloped in it could only roll around while wailing at the moment. Trying to escape the flames in this way. After the burning flames dissipated, the 6-7 winter wolves escaped. It's no longer the ferocious appearance it used to be. Now they are like a pack of dogs in distress.

The fur, which had been as white as frost or shiny as silver gray, had now become missing a piece, revealing severely burned skin. Even those parts that were still fur were mostly charred and curled. Seeing such a scene, as a Claymatis. Bot immediately felt something prick his heart.

Because the fur of the winter wolf plays an important role in keeping out the cold, these thick wolf furs store air. It forms an insulating layer and plays a good role in keeping warm. Although after leaving the body of the winter wolf, these things can no longer give the person wearing it the ability to live cold immunity. However, coats and cloaks made from them often give the wearer 5 points of cold resistance.

Because of the natural protection, intact wolf skins can often be sold for 2,000 gold. This is rare due to the silver fur. So they often fetch a high price of 3,500 gold coins. These materials are commonly used to make items such as cloaks, robes, and boots that can withstand the cold.

It can be said that it is quite popular among the city-states of the Northlands - if it were not for the strength of the Winter Wolf itself. It's a social animal again. If you don't say it, you have already been hunted because of your fur. Of course, if the winter wolf is really that easy to kill, the price of its fur will not be so high.

In addition, Priest Weldon mentioned earlier that this time the loot was all owned by the participants themselves. So Clematis. Bot seemed to have seen the bags of gold disappear before his eyes. As a believer in the 'Goddess of Wealth and Business', this makes her so capable and indifferent!

However, she also knew that now was not the time to care about this, and if she retreated from the enemy's attack, it was the right time to care about it. So she took advantage of this effort to eliminate distractions. began to bless several of the main hand-to-hand players in the team.

Unfortunately, Rielly's fireball power is limited after all. Even with the effects of the Super Demon Scepter and Flame Overflow, it couldn't wipe out those damn winter wolves in one blow. Fortunately, a few of the unlucky winter wolves ate almost all of the damage from the fireball, and most of their bodies were scorched and blackened, and their movements became less neat. The threat to the camp has been greatly reduced. The rest of the injuries were not serious, but they were somewhat affected.

At this moment, the winter wolves who were not affected by the fireball technique had already rushed in front of the patrolmen. One of the winter wolves flew into the air with its forelimbs and exerted its hind limbs, and with a single pounce, it crushed its chosen target to the ground. The massive size advantage makes these 450-pound guys punchy.

Then the huge fangs in the bloody mouth bit down hard at the patrol member who was thrown to the ground. The guy managed to avoid his neck though. But the sharp pain in his shoulder distorted his face. The patrolman's shoulder blade was bitten off by the winter wolf during the 'click' sound. At the same time, the cold breath gushing out of the lungs of the winter wolf helped the victim stop the blood, but at the same time, it also took away all his physical strength.

However, not all of the Winter Wolves succeeded in hitting their targets, and those experienced adventurers managed to avoid the first wave of the Winter Wolves' attack by moving or rolling. After landing, the winter wolves used their front paws of five toes to slam hard. Then he pounced forward and bit his target.

Then the hunting instinct causes them to immediately try to stumble and throw each other into the snow. The mouth is clenched and the limbs are strained. Pull and pull, if it really doesn't work, shake the other party and roll on the ground. These magical beasts, which are about the size of horses, are often able to easily drag their bitten targets to the ground. This is often followed by weight and strength.

Fortunately, the adventurers hired by the Church of the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce are not completely defenseless in the face of such a situation. One of the adventurers, armed with an iron halberd, sideways dodged a frozen current. Flashed to the side at the same time. Avoided another cold air and a surprise attack from a winter wolf. The only trouble was the freezing gas that hit his body, and it still left frost flowers on his cloak. In the ensuing battle. That cloak couldn't be unfurled against the wind anymore.

On the other hand, the players are not in the vicinity of the sentry post that is baptized by fireballs, and it seems that they are worried about accidentally injuring their teammates. The winter wolves that had come here swooped down on the sentry, and the violent impact shook the wall of the logs, which might have been pushed to the ground if it had not been for the protection of the outer layer of earth.

However, the violent impact also caused those winter wolves to use the cushion of the backward jump to unload the force. Taking this opportunity, Barrett shot at the Winter Wolves again. At such a close distance, his attack directly hit the Winter Wolf's vital point. The target Barrett chose. An arrow is stuck in the left eyeball. The powerful force still has to be the arrows 'buzzing' in the eye sockets of the winter wolf.

It's a pity that although it hit the vital point, the winter wolf doesn't seem to have been affected much by virtue of its strong vitality. Although being blind in one eye makes other visions appear a large blind spot. However, for players hiding in the sentry, the difference is not huge.

Realizing that the physical attack was ineffective, the winter wolves immediately spewed out the almost frozen lung lobes containing gas. But after the 'beep' sound. Although the soil layer on the outside of the wall has changed a little as a result, this change has made it stronger.

Winter wolves are no less intelligent than humans, and they have their own unique language. They even have a first and last name. The surname of the winter wolf represents the ethnic group, and the name of the winter wolf tends to describe the appearance, behavior, or habits of the individual. With such a civilization foundation, the Winter Wolves naturally understand that storming the buildings in front of them is not a good choice. They decisively gave up the hard bones in front of them and turned to the soft persimmons behind them.

At the same time, after the initial chaos, the camp counterattack came as scheduled - more because the mages were unwilling to blow the wind outside in this cold day. Staying in the cabin, they were delayed a little when they ran out.

Bright red roses bloomed near the camp, and the mages in the camp used the most cost-effective battlefield spells to wash away the traces of the existence of those winter wolves over and over again. After a while, there were only a few of these large magical beasts left on the battlefield.

After the Winter Wolves made significant sacrifices and inflicted great damage on the camp. The attackers who had been hiding behind finally launched a real attack. These guys don't wear anything that specifically represents their identity, and they obviously don't want to show their belonging to the world - which means that their identity is likely to be of the shady type. In this regard, the Church of the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce can take advantage of it. However, just like the players, the opponent also chose to use the fireball technique to open the way at first. Now it was the turn of the camp to enjoy the baptism of fire. This is really a good reincarnation of heaven! (To be continued.) )
