The reaction speed is not slow, but it does not help. The wolves came so fast that they bypassed both sides of the hunting party almost instantly, completely sealing off all retreats.

The three patriarchs could only lead the guards to kill and retreat.

"Rush out, you must rush out!"

"Kill! Kill these damn brutes! ”

"The gods are above, I have never owed you anything, I sacrifice on time every year, and the sacrifices are also rich, why...... Do this to me? ”

The dozens of people who had temporarily assembled formed a circle, like a wounded hedgehog, trying to curl up, standing up every hard thorn on their body, and confronting the beast that wanted to eat them.

Their presence is a source of hope, a glimmer of hope for those who struggle to resist. Screaming and wailing, mixed with groans of pain and desperate cries for help, no one wanted to be food for the wolves, they swung their weapons desperately and stumbled towards them. Even if you lose your legs and are seriously injured, you have to use your last strength to crawl this way.

Many people saw Lu Fengguo fall.

At this time, everyone's identity is the same, whether it is a nobleman or a commoner, a patriarch or a guard, no one wants to be left behind.

The northern barbarians have combat genes in their bones, and they have rich combat experience. Without the arrangement of the three patriarchs, the remaining soldiers quickly formed a defense, and their strong weapons stood outside to confront the black howling wolf. They used their shields to fend off the beasts that pounced on them, wielding swords and battle axes to fight back again and again. The people standing in the inner circle used bows and arrows to support, fear was the greatest source of strength, and the piercing whistling of arrows piercing the air sounded again and again, and the panic and confusion in people's hearts gradually dissipated as they watched the beast that fell to the ground and howled fiercely.

"Don't be afraid of them, it's a pack of wolves."

"yes, it's not a big deal, we have enough arrows, as long as we stabilize the outer line, even if there are more of them, it won't be a problem."

"Listen to my command, everyone is divided into two teams, and when the outside is tired of killing, they will change in and rest. Don't panic, come one by one. ”

"Unsaddle your saddle and light the fire quickly, the beasts are afraid of this."

The initial panic had passed, and the three patriarchs issued one command after another in their mouths. Although their expressions were nervous and their voices trembled, they were able to guide the guards to quickly understand their respective positions.

In less than three minutes, dozens of black howling wolves were shot by feathered arrows, and they screamed and fell to the ground twisting and rolling, and more of their kind crossed over them and pounced on their targets with even more ferocity.

A fire ignited inside the defensive array. The saddle made of animal skins burned, emitting a pungent smell of burning. The Xuanlu Patriarch held up a piece of burning animal skin with both hands, and ran quickly inside the defensive circle, throwing the severed saddle from the top of the defender's head and throwing it into the open space dozens of meters away.

The dense wolf pack immediately centered on the flames, and a blank space appeared.

They have a palpable fear of fire, but they don't stay as far away as other beasts. Ten, five, or even three meters, the wolves bypassed the flames and continued to attack the defenders.

"Hell, I dare swear by the heads of the gods, they're no ordinary black howling wolves!" The Yanlu Patriarch tightened his longbow and shot an arrow, and roared in shock and anger: "I have never seen a beast that is not afraid of fire. ”

The Xuanlu Patriarch swung his long knife and slashed down a giant wolf, he quickly wiped the blood splashed on his face with the back of his hand, panting, and said uncertainly, "Maybe they've seen fire before?" ”

The Qinglu patriarch took out a feather arrow from the quiver and put it on the bowstring, he thought carefully, and his bloodshot eyes revealed doubts: "I don't think this is quite right today...... No matter, anyway, let's kill it first. Guys, you must persevere, this is not far from Bucks City, and reinforcements will come. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a sharp whistle.

Immediately, a group of terrifying monsters burst out from the depths of the dense forest in front of them.

They are up to eight meters tall, far less than even the most majestic horses. The thick, powerful legs alternately move forward, and the knees bend backwards like a bird, looking strangely agile. Its upper limbs are very short, like a useless ornament, but the tip of the tip grows sharp hook claws. The slender neck is very flexible and can support the full angle rotation of the head, and observe every place around it, there are no dead ends.

The Xuanlu patriarch looked at it with straight eyes: "...... What is that? ”

The left hand of the Qinglu patriarch holding the bow trembled a little: "It seems to be a lizard...... I haven't seen it...... Wait, I remember, I've seen it on the clay stencils of the Royal Archives, they are a beast that likes to eat people. ”

The Yanlu patriarch paid attention to practicality, he held his breath, opened his bow and set up his arrows, and shot at the monster that rushed to the front.

"Bell!"

Everyone clearly heard the crisp metal clash, and saw the flying arrow hit the monster's chest, but instead of tearing the skin and digging deep into the muscle layer as expected, the arrow flew diagonally and landed on the snow with the sparks from the wiping.

Could it be that the skin of these monsters is harder than metal?

Terrible thoughts spread through everyone's minds like a plague, and they watched in fear and unease as the monsters approached. There are too many of them, at least more than two hundred. The dense pack of wolves divides one passage after another, which seems to be fear, or the difference in status between different beasts due to strength and predator level, if you think of the wolves as ordinary soldiers, they are veterans with strong comprehensive combat power, or even officers.

"I remember, I've heard wizards talk about this kind of monster." The Yanlu Patriarch pulled the bowstring vigorously and said viciously, "They are velociraptors, beasts on the north side of the continent and on the other side of the mountain. ”

"On the other side of the mountain" is a conceptual range, usually referring to the territory of the cattle tribe, or even further in the same direction. But in any case, it's definitely not the North Mountain Hunting Ground.

A simple sentence to make all survivors understand that this is not ———— monster in the territory of the Deer Clan.

The impact force of the velociraptors was very large, and they were like cars moving at high speed, crashing through the defensive array that formed a circle. Both the long knives and steel axes were useless in front of them, and it was only now that people suddenly discovered that these velociraptor bodies were covered with a thick layer of steel armor. Chest, abdomen, thighs, calves...... Large pieces of steel armor and chain mail protect them in a combination of ways, especially the upper limbs, and are covered with hard, sharp steel claws.

This is definitely not a product of innate formation, let alone a beast in the ordinary sense.

The wolves, who had been unable to break through the circle, rushed into the gaps in the defensive line, scrambling to bite at their chosen targets.

The left arm of the Yanlu patriarch was torn from his body, with two ribs, and was thrown into the air by a velociraptor by its neck, and it was accurately grasped and swallowed with its mouth open. The rest of his body was quickly divided between the four black howling wolves, each holding a piece of bloody flesh and running away.

The Qinglu patriarch was scrambling by more than a dozen wolves, all the internal organs were pulled out of his body, and the shattered lungs hung from the dead bushes, which were quickly condensed by the cold air, turning into clumps of pink lumps.

The Xuanlu patriarch covered his bleeding crotch with both hands, burst out with amazing power, let out a scream of extreme pain, and ran wildly through the snow and beasts. Black howling wolves never pick a part of their attacks, and when they prioritize attacking the throat but can't hit, they tend to choose an easy position...... A giant wolf was holding a trophy that had just arrived in its mouth that was suspected to be a sausage, and the Xuanlu patriarch, who had endured the severe pain, had just rushed out more than ten meters away before exhausting all his strength and pounced forward. A majestic velociraptor leaped over and bit his head from behind, squeezing his skull with incredible force in its upper and lower jaws, and before he died, he heard the sound of his skull shattering, and his eyeballs flew out of their sockets without restraint, drawing a crystal straight line, and fell impartially into the open wolf's mouth on the opposite side.

The screams and cries for help came and went, but they stopped abruptly with tearing sounds.

On the mountain beam in the distance, Heijun, dressed in a light gray leather robe, had a serious expression, holding a monocular in his hand, staring intently in this direction.

Glass is a new product that Rock City has successfully fired this summer. According to the drawings provided by Tianhao, six craftsmen carefully polished and built two monoculars.

The first trial production is extremely difficult, and it is necessary to accumulate experience through exploration and experimentation. The wear rate of the lenses is very high, and it took more than 30 pieces to get these two finished products. However, the benefits are also obvious, the craftsmen already know the specific methods and steps, and know how to avoid dangerous parts in the grinding process. Next, their work will be more efficient and shortened.

Pingjun was very patient, and waited until the cries for help in the entire woodland completely disappeared.

Next, there is a half-hour-long eating period.

Both black howls and velociraptors love this kind of flesh-and-blood environment. For this mission, the keepers stopped feeding them four days ago. The number of velociraptors cultivated as special cavalry carriers is scarce, and Tianhao has been traveling back and forth between the northern mountains and Rock City for many years, and finally accumulated more than 400 velociraptors. According to the idea of the new acting patriarch, when the eldest son is an adult, he will be able to relieve himself of this burden and transfer all the work of capturing, domesticating, and training special cavalry to him.

As early as when Tianhao took over Panshi Village, he had already begun to domesticate the black howling wolf. This concept originated in the era of civilization, and the use of wolfdogs and animals by humans throughout civilized society, especially in warfare, animals have always been a special participant. Black howling wolves have a keen sense of smell, and they can play an unexpected role in battle.

According to Tianhao's original idea, the Black Howl Wolf would be used as a substitute for the wolfdog and fight with the army. Especially in future wars with white Southerners as imaginary enemies, the Black Howling Wolf can play a huge role in it.

Under normal circumstances, the black howling wolf is not that large.

After an asteroid impact, a large area of radiation has appeared on the surface of the Earth, and the ocean is no exception. Perhaps because of genetic mutations, the discarded fish fodder (small fish, small shrimp, fish bones) caught by the Rock City fleet had a special effect on these domesticated black howling wolves.

Young wolves grow faster, and they are generally one-fifth, or even one-quarter, larger than their wild-like counterparts. The barbarians who hunt in the mountains and forests all year round have a deep understanding of this, and they can indeed be regarded as giant wolves in comparison.

Fifteen hundred black howling wolves, two hundred and forty velociraptors equipped with armor, this is a secret attack force exclusive to the Rock Collar and exclusive to Tianhao, specially used for this operation.

Guided by the whistle, the wolves are responsible for helping the main attack. They're smart and do a great job of working together. As long as the entire Deer Clan Royal Family Hunting Team is surrounded, the final battle will be handed over to the velociraptor to be in charge.

They were clad in steel armor, a defense that had been tested hundreds of times by the craftsmen of Rock City, and there was no problem with either the firmness or the attachment between the armor pieces. Agile movements, fierce attacks, and sharp minions are enough to tear through the hunting team's defensive circle and kill all the heirs to the throne of the deer clan present.

The royal family of the Deer Clan holds a hunt every winter, and the number of people is usually around three hundred. With a little bit of thought and a little bit of thought, you can get a list of people who will participate in the hunt, as well as the configuration of the guards.

An accurate piece of information, a group of beasts that crossed the mountains and mountains to the North Mountain Hunting Ground at the point of time, combined together, is a beautiful ambush.

The smell of blood grew stronger in the air, and the entire woodland was in shambles, littered with corpses. Both black howls and velociraptors have been trained to attack the living on the battlefield, and the dead can be set aside and eaten slowly after the battle is over...... The thirty-minute meal time is over, and even if Pyeongjun doesn't go to the scene to check, there is enough evidence to believe that there are no survivors there.

"Withdraw!" He put down the binoculars in his hand and gave orders to the attendants beside him.

The strange whistle blew again, and the beasts in the distance raised their heads one after another, although their bright red eyes were reluctant, and their long-hungry stomachs were not completely full, they still turned around and trotted towards the way they came, and according to the training content firmly engraved in their minds, they were divided into small teams, and quickly left this dead woodland under the leadership of their respective trainers.

The jumble of beasts obscured human footprints, and Heitoshi has always paid attention to detail and never left a clue in this regard.

……

Stag City, a side hall of the royal palace.

Lu Qingxi and the national teacher Wujiao sat across the wooden table and slowly drank hot tea.

Despite being wrapped in three thick leather robes, Lu Qingxi still felt chills all over his body. Headaches are so unbearable that even the slightest physical touch can cause unspeakable discomfort.

Looking at him with a sleepy expression, Wu Jiao smiled: "Are you better?" ”

Lu Qingxi nodded weakly: "After taking the medicine, it is much better than yesterday, but I feel that I have no strength." ”

"That's how it is when you get cold." Wu Jiao picked up the teapot and filled his cup, smiling and persuading, "Your Majesty went out hunting early in the morning, and it's almost time to come back." You didn't attend the banquet last time, and you can't be absent today anyway. His Majesty likes to be lively, and the Stag Department is also a big clan, so no matter how uncomfortable this occasion is, it has to be supported. I asked the people below to boil the medicine, and you can drink a bowl later, hehe...... It will get better soon. ”
