Volume 4 The Clash of Light and Darkness One hundred and seventy-two, Desperate Situation
Elon whipped the horse under him, but the horse only knew how to turn in circles, and after a while, his trembling limbs were brittle, and his mouth made a whining sound, but he refused to get up and run a few steps
Elon kept scolding, and when he saw the demonic beasts getting closer and closer in the distance, he was extremely afraid of damning! What was it that fascinated him that he volunteered to deal with this monster?! If time could come all over again, he would rather be laughed at as a coward than say a word!
The surviving soldiers all fled, he was left far behind alone, looking at the faint red in the group of demonic beasts, he knew that it was the deputy who had unfortunately died just now, and he told himself that Xiao Tianjian's son must not die so ugly!
He jumped off his horse and moved his legs, and fled with all his strength in the direction of Siko, finally catching up with the tails of the soldiers, and when he accidentally looked back, he found that the mount that had accompanied him for four years had been bitten off in half by the beast
His feet were weak, and he just rushed forward by instinct, and suddenly, there was an exclamation from the front, and then the soldiers moved, and they all turned around, some turned to the right, others ran back, he stopped in a daze, but was knocked to the ground by the rushing crowd He angrily broke out and cursed, but no one paid attention to him
Even the soldiers who had been with him were in no mood to help him as the true commander of the third column because of his stupidity and cowardice, and after everyone had their expectations of this commander to a minimum, and some even thought that his death in this war was more worthy of the prestige of the epic hero
Elon still cursed, struggling to get up, but froze in place
The reason for the soldiers' movement appeared in his sight, it was a large group of demonic beasts brought over by another column, damn why did they run into it?!
Elon staggered back, and saw a few soldiers who had no time to escape being bitten and thrown away by the demonic beasts, he only felt that he was about to run out of breath and his feet were weak, and he was about to collapse to the ground, but he heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him, and then the back of his neck tightened, and a strong force pulled him up, and in a whirlwind, he thanked weakly after falling on a horse, and then opened his eyes wide to look at the familiar face of the man in the red cloak in front of him: "You?!" How could it be..."
An Long whipped the horse, and the horse made a big bend and turned back to the original way before saying: "I can't watch you die" He stretched out his hand and pulled out a few arrows from the quiver that had been blessed by the Monk of Light, pulled the bow and shot at the demonic beast, and in the blink of an eye, he shot one dead
Elon's heart was as if he had knocked over a cruet, sour and astringent, but he refused to admit defeat: "Don't think I'm going to admit you because of this"
"I didn't think of it that way, but I didn't want to see Madame Mirabel and little Bevin sad, Bevin is a good boy!" An Long didn't care about his admitting for a long time, and shot a few more arrows, slightly hindering the progress of the demonic beast, and then rode his horse and ran towards Xike Town
As soon as Minter entered the town, he was startled by the swarms of fleeing soldiers, and seeing their panicked steps and some of the people who were trampled and injured by his comrades, he immediately used a loud amplification technique on himself, shouting, "Do you want to trample yourself to death?!" Stop! ”
The soldiers were frightened by the sudden roar and stopped their steps, and Mint took the opportunity to shout: "The exit is big, everyone can escape, don't panic, line up one by one, don't trample on each other!" ”
The soldiers hesitated, but some recognized Minte's "identity", and some saw the red cloak on his body, mistakenly thinking that he was also a column leader, so they did as he said, and then several of the original adjutants of the column rushed up, and immediately reorganized their own soldiers, and the people quickly and orderly withdrew to the eastern exit of Xiko, and the wounded were also supported by special people to leave
Minter lined up the crowd and went retrograde to the northwest, and met the father and Elon who fled in, and hurriedly greeted him: "Are you okay?" Are there any injuries?! ”
An Long was taken aback when he saw Minter: "Why are you here?!" He took hold of the reins and tried to stop the horse, but the horse bent his forelimbs and fell to his knees, struggling a few times, and screaming so badly that it had a bleeding wound on its left hind leg, and it was evident that it could no longer run
Minter jumped off his horse to help his father stabilize his mount, and his eyes were fixed on him: "How can Dad hide from me to do such a dangerous thing?!" Have you forgotten that mom is still waiting for you?! Do you want to leave your wife and daughter behind?! ”
An Long was stunned, guilt welled up in his heart, and he was speechless
At this time, Elon couldn't listen to others, just looked back in a panic, and kept urging: "Let's go, they're coming, let's go!" Seeing that the two people in front of him were just looking at each other, he couldn't help but shout: "What's wrong today?" Is there a big party of bastards?! ”
Minter lifted him onto his horse, and he was startled, "What are you doing?!" ”
"Shut up!" Minter turned back to his father, "I've slain countless monsters, and I know how to deal with them better than you do!" Get on your horse and go, I'll do it for you! ”
Anlong replied that he had whipped the horse's buttocks, and the horse carried Elon out like crazy, and ran straight east, causing Elon to scream
Minter looked at his father in disbelief: "Are you crazy?!" ”
"I didn't, child" An Long shook his head calmly, "This is a military order, I can't back down Originally, I thought that even if something happened to me, you and your mother would have someone to take care of, but now it seems... We're going to fight together," he turned to look at the other red-cloaked companions who had come running from the west
Elon hugged his horse's neck tightly and ran out of the town as fast as he could, when he heard someone next to him shouting, "All withdraw!" Then the people on the other side ordered the "magicians to prepare"! In his horrified gaze, the city wall at the exit of the town slowly turned into a thick, hard earth wall and rose higher and higher, completely blocking the situation in the town, and he only had time to take one last look at the gathering of the figures of the red se
"What is this for?!" He finally stabilized the horse, so he grabbed someone and asked, and the man replied: "Of course the town is closed, and the monster can't be allowed to escape."
"But there's still someone inside!" Elon shouted, and before the other party could answer, a trumpet came from the nearby hillside, someone waved a colored flag, and on the nearby command platform, Norwald and Mallory saw it and ordered: "Archers ready!" Then hundreds of archers, lined up halfway up the hill on either side, took aim with their bows and pointed straight into the town, and the arrows shone golden in the setting sun
Elon guessed their intentions, and muttered, "No...", before he could finish speaking, the first rain of arrows was fired, and then the archers replaced them with new arrows
Elon strode to the command platform, regardless of others' obstructions, jumped up and grabbed Mallory's collar: "What do you think you're doing?!" And our own people in there! ”
Mallory gave him a sad look: "I know, Your Excellency, but I don't have a choice, the monsters may have discovered our plan and are about to retreat, we must stop them from leaving"
Elon clenched even tighter: "You bastard! After using our house, do you want to destroy it?! ”
Mallory sighed, sad but firmly pulled his hand away: "Your Excellency the Earl, I have too many things to think about, I can't take care of a certain family, please forgive me" turned back to the main perspective of the dividing line
Faith opened the lead box and quickly took out the magic beads inside with a hand wrapped in a special handkerchief, and distributed it to everyone, except for Minte, everyone wrapped the beads in the same handkerchief and put it in their pockets, and Firth specially distributed an extra one to Minte, and smiled at him: "With you, the chance of success is greater, and I know that you kid will definitely come!" ”
An Long said disapprovingly: "Feith, he's still a child!" Vasily smiled and put his shoulder on his shoulder: "Okay old man, this kid has killed several times more demonic beasts than us"
Fez repeated the task again: "We dispersed in all directions, led the demonic beast to the central area, and sent a signal to the people outside, they will activate the magic array In the process, the archers will shoot arrows to block the retreat of the demonic beast, so you must not take off the cloak on your body, that is a mark" After everyone should get down, he slowed down his expression slightly, and said solemnly: "Everyone, it is my honor to be able to work with you"
Almost everyone was moved, hugging each other goodbye, but Minter frowned: "Hey, I think you all seem to have made a mistake, who said that we will definitely die if we lure the enemy" Seeing everyone looking at him in surprise, he said: "We just need to lead the Warcraft to the central area, this is not a plain but a town, and the Warcraft can't jump high anyway..."
A stranger interjected in a whisper: "They can jump..."
"Even if they can jump, it will take time," Minter continued, "as soon as we give the signal, find a fence or a high ground building or something like that, and the magic circle will kill the monsters before they tear us apart."
Everyone's eyes lit up, and the roar of the monster kept coming from a distance, and Firth almost immediately made a decision: "That's it!" Now, action! ”
Everyone immediately dispersed, and Minter hugged his father: "I love you, Dad, we must go back alive"
"You too, my boy" Anlong touched his head, looked at him one last time, and then resolutely turned away
Minter took a deep breath, conjured an ice sword in his hand, activated the magic of light, and stepped in the direction of his responsibility
Carefully observing the direction in which the arrow rain fell, after a while, Minter saw the figure of the demonic beast, and saw a companion in the distance throwing a magic bead at them, causing them to pounce on him frantically, Mint hurriedly threw one, attracting dozens of demonic beasts running towards him to see more and more ferocious than before, he suppressed the fear in his heart, turned his head and ran towards the central area
The demonic beasts behind him ran faster and faster, stimulated by the breath of the magic beads on his body, they lifted up countless debris and threw them behind him, intending to slow him down, he could only intuitively avoid those attacks, and at the same time dodge the arrows falling from above, coldly hearing two screams in the distance, his heart tightened, and he accelerated the speed of his feet
Turning around from the intersection ahead, Minter recognized it as Vasily, and hurriedly shouted his name and ran over, Vasily pulled him to run with him, but the two pursuers merged together, and they were about to catch up
As soon as Minter stepped into the central area, he couldn't help but be excited: "We're here..." A strong force pushed him away, he rolled on the ground twice, got up and turned back, only to see Vasily being rolled up by the tail of the monster and thrown onto the roof of the house on the side of the road, with a loud bang, he couldn't move, and there was a large pool of blood on the wall
Mint was horrified: "Vasily! Seeing that a demonic beast had jumped up the steps with the intention of getting closer to Vasily, he quickly took out another bead and threw it against the wall next to him, shattering it
The monsters were furious, turned their heads and yelled at him, he hurriedly fled, but felt a huge pain in his back, and he was hit by something, and then his whole body flew up, hit the wall in front of him, and then fell heavily to the ground
The bones in his body seemed to fall apart, he spat blood uncomfortably, and suddenly saw a shadow enveloping him in front of him, and raised his head, but it was a demonic beast that walked up to him and opened its bloody mouth
