Father fell, Harding. Horton immediately panicked. He turned around and called for help, but saw the family knights who had returned with his father stop him one by one with solemn faces.

When I first entered the city, it was difficult to tell the difference, but now when I look at it, the knights who have come back are all mentally exhausted and have a lot of pain. A number of people straightened up and walked into the hall of the City Lord's Mansion, and then staggered, relying on the support of their companions to lie down smoothly.

Less than half of these family knights in front of them were safe and sound. This is not a return from a big victory at all, it is clearly a fiasco!

Wait..... not half.

Harding was even more chilled.

I went out more than 200 yesterday, and I only came back today for 70 or 80. What about the rest?

"Young City Lord, we must hurry up and find some priests." A returning family knight grabbed Harding's shoulder and shook it, "At the same time, the whole city is under martial law, and all the forces of the family are mobilized to strengthen the defense." ”

The sudden change made Harding panic. He felt his heart pounding, his head dizzy and his ears ringing, and he forced himself to calm down and sent someone to find the priest, and at the same time ordered a state of emergency in the city, closing the gates, blocking the streets, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.

There are also ......, keeping an eye on the big nobles in the city who refused to send troops to rescue them last night. This is a lesson learned by the long-legged family of Coldwind City at the cost of blood, and we must be highly vigilant against the possibility of civil strife in extraordinary times.

There is a temple of Aurur in the city, and it costs money to get those ruthless guys to do it.

Fortunately, it's still useful to spend money.

Most of the more than 70 knights who came back were treated, which was an important force to preserve the Halton family.

Although the city lord did not wake up, he was able to lie on the large bed in the bedroom and breathe slowly. The servants who dismantled his armor were frightened with weakness in their hands and feet, because when the bloody clothes were uncovered, the intercostal skin of the chest could be opened, and the wounds were deep into the bones.

One of the lord's cronies wept bitterly over this, recounting the battle that had taken place last night.

"The infantry of the monster Hugo suddenly appeared in the middle of the night. They tread on the fire and attack us as if they were dying.

The enemy's thin three-row platoon looked like it would collapse at the first charge, but we rushed so many times that they just wouldn't back down. Those untouchables are not the same as they used to be.

We are all professional knights who have been trained for many years, we have superb combat skills, we are obviously stronger, but whenever we want to break the defense line of the infantry of Coldwind City, the enemy's light cavalry will come to make up for the gap.

For some reason, they choose the timing of each attack very well. It can always stab us in the most uncomfortable position. The exchange ratio on the battlefield is very scary. ”

Harding sat at the head of his father's bed, surrounded by several knights of the family who had been through the battle last night. The latter were either silent, frowning, and some were afraid.

Fighting in the dark is already difficult, and if the enemy can deal with it efficiently, the battle will be even harder.

The squire sighed and continued beside the bed: "In order to break through the siege, His Excellency the city lord led us to break through the gap of the enemy infantry.

But before we could rejoice, Hugo the monster himself came up to fight. He hacked Hale to death with a single sword. By the way, before that, Zac had already died in battle. ”

The sword light that pierced the night harvested the lives of many family members, and also left a deep impression on those who survived. No one can compete with that heavy sword, and any weapon or armor will be cut and shattered.

The squire wept and read the names of many of his colleagues, and finally added, "The weapon in the hands of the monster Hugo is by no means ordinary. He kills all who oppose him.

It's a monster, melee slashing, ranged spellcasting, and immunity to most of our attacks.

I saw with my own eyes that someone had been slashed, but the monster Hugo was unharmed. Only a few wizards cast arcane spells on him, and it was not easy to do some damage. ”

An enemy who can't be killed even on a rampage is undoubtedly extremely terrifying. By the time the Broken Bridge side found out that they had to use enchanted weapons and arcane magic to be useful, they had already lost a wave of people.

"We managed to kill the monster Hugo's horse, so that he could not continue the charge. I watched him fall from his horse and thought he wouldn't be able to get up.

But alas, monsters don't die so easily. Not only did he get up, but he was firing all the time. He holds a heavy sword in one hand and casts spells in the other. He is completely counterintuitive. ”

When his squire said this, the fear brought by the memories made him tremble. He had to hunch over, slowly knelt on the ground as support, and lowered his head to wipe the tears from his eyes.

The knights of the family gathered around the bedroom showed an unbearable expression, and their morale dropped to zero, as if they had been ravaged a thousand times, and they had no confidence to face it again.

"We cheered when Hugo the monster fell off his horse. Your Excellency the Lord of the City has encouraged us even more, and gathered a dozen or so people to kill this culprit.

But then, the monster suddenly erupted in an unusual state. It seems that he has been hiding his strength before, and his second face will only be revealed when he is knocked off the horse.

He's casting spells, fast spells. Arcane and magic are at your fingertips, fire, frost, lightning, storms, one after another. The brilliance of spellcasting that shines on the battlefield is also extremely deadly.

The immobilization technique he unleashed instantly made people freeze. His shattering sound waves can ignore the armor's protection. His Curse of Repulsion causes any attacker to take equal damage.

He is almost invincible, and no matter who pounces on him, he can easily deal with it. The siege of a dozen people failed to do anything to him, and even His Excellency ...... City Lord"

The squire looked up with tears streaming down his face. Kyle. Halton lay on a velvet mattress, breathing faintly.

A Frost Priest has just frozen the wound under his ribs with cold air to prevent further bleeding, while casting a spell to heal the wound and save his life.

"His Excellency has unleashed the 'Storm of Blades' with the family ring, hoping to slay the evil and terrifying opponent.

But the monster Hugo is worthy of being the one who can stir up chaos in the entire Northland, he actually endured the cutting of the high-speed knife wheel, and launched a counterattack. ”

'Storm of Blades', a sixth-level divine art. It creates a circular wall of blades, filled with sharp whirling blades that can slice through any melee opponent.

This is an offensive and defensive magic art.,Once you accidentally fall into it, you'll be turned into slices of meat or even meat puree by the crazy cutting of the whirling blade.。

The patriarch of House Halton has a ring that seals the 'Storm of Blades', which is designed to defeat the enemy in times of crisis. But this time the family ring didn't work.

"Hugo the monster shoots a powerful shuttle that pierces through the barrier formed by the storm of blades. We guessed afterwards that the shuttle should have been made of adamantite gold. It pierced through the Lord's magical armor and wounded him severely.

But Hugo didn't have a better time. The guy was also injured in the Storm of Blades, and I saw his blood splatter onto the Whirling Blade. It didn't kill him, but it was at least seriously injured. ”

The squire used affirmative words, which made Harding feel better. In the face of such a strong enemy, it is not bad for his father to be able to hurt each other.

It's just that the family knights gathered around the bedroom are not happy, and they are still worried.

"What now?"

Harding looked back at the people around him. He was still young and didn't know how to deal with the current situation. Now there are strong enemies on the outside and hidden dangers on the inside, and one mistake is only afraid that it will be the second Cold Wind City.

But the people looked at each other, and no one could tell. Last night's battle made everyone frightened, and whoever said that they wanted to go out of the city to face the monster Hugo, they were the first to refuse.

All you can think of is defending the city.

However, at this time, the city gate guard sent a message that the knight lord who followed the city lord in the battle last night had returned a few more. They demanded to see the lord of the castle immediately, and said that they had brought a letter from Victor of Coldwind City. Hugo asked to be handed over.
