Chapter 39: Among the Brightest Stars

"The beast tide is coming! …… Better...... That's a lot! There's no end in sight here! There are so many of them! Leah, who was standing on the cliff and was in charge of reconnaissance (actually because of his lowest strength), was left out of the battle and had nothing to do, and her expectant eyes finally waited for the shadow of the beast tide, so she couldn't wait to start warning her. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

It's a pity that her exaggerated screams made the hearts of the warriors under the cliff sink sharply.

"Shut up! You yellow-haired girl! You've only seen a few beasts...... We've killed more enemies than you've ever eaten salt! Ella shouted, stopping Leah from saying things that would shake the morale of the army. Not only that, but she also encouraged her comrades a little - just listening to their muffled laughter, you know that these people love to watch the tearing scene between two beautiful women.

"What are you laughing at, let me lower your bodies and hide behind the shield!"

Due to lack of preparation time, Ella finally had time to pile up a rough "dragon" in the narrowest part of the canyon. Only the faucet is real, and there is a whole bunch of stones below, and God knows how much of a role this can make! Fortunately, the stone pile with the dragon's head stood in the middle of the canyon, and the light size cut off about one-third of the canyon passage.

The remaining two-thirds were cut off by two separate shield walls.

The Brothers-in-Arms are also known as the "Shield Friends" because the soldiers who join are required to choose a companion to be their "Shield Buddy" - meaning "the one who can protect his back". So in order to fulfill their duties, almost every member of the team has a well-made pure metal shield from the Sky Furnace!

Even Ella, the huntress whose main weapon is a bow and arrow, is no exception.

Now these shields are neatly arranged in a shield wall - the knight's shield is next to the great round shield, and the crane shield and the tower shield are tightly squeezed, forming an impregnable line of defense!

In order to increase the impact resistance, the lower end of the shield was equipped with a spear tip and inserted/inserted into the Gobi Desert, behind which the trunk of the tree was supported. This is all the preparation that is within our means. And the fighters of the comrade-in-arms group lowered their bodies one by one and hid behind this low "city wall". They pressed their shoulders against their shields and waited silently for the impact to come.

"It's coming! They rushed into the canyon! Leah insisted on doing her useless job of calling the police.

The earth trembled slightly under the galloping of thousands of horses, beating everyone's hearts like a drum! There were no beasts to be seen from this side of the canyon, only a storm of dust raised by the beast tide, surging towards this side! The soldiers of the Brothers-in-Arms formed two lines of defense alone, in front of them was an invincible torrent, and behind them was the granary on which the entire Skyrim Province depended for the winter! There is no way back for them......

"Hold on!" Ella yelled in a thick voice.

The warriors bowed their heads in unison and gritted their teeth.

"Hold on!!"

Their muscles tensed, and the roots of their necks bulged.

"Stick to !!"

The shield buddies are on their feet in one place, their arms clasped in their arms, and they hold their companions!

"Impact!"

"Roar~~~~!"

Like a longbow that loosens its strings, the warriors put their shoulders against their shields and thrust forward with all their strength!

The warriors with their heads bowed could not see what was going on in front of them, but they fully trusted Ella's command ability.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! The timing of the final recoil was just right! The warriors who are moving forward collide head-on with the beasts through their shields! Then they blocked, and stood firm!

First, relying on the camouflaged dragon, the last vestiges of power left after death, to frighten some of the beasts; Immediately after the timely counter-attack of the comrades-in-arms, part of the shock force was once again neutralized; When the shield finally bounced back, it rested on the slanted trunk of the tree, extinguishing the last of its strength.

Three times in a row, the beast tide is like a storm crashing on the shore, with twists and turns!

When the surging beast tide was finally blocked by the front, the shield wall was not broken!

Lions, wolves, saber-toothed tigers, elk...... Countless beasts running in front of the beast tide were fiercely mounted on the shield wall, and many beasts broke their tendons and fractures - the beasts were fleeing in a panic, and there was no unified command at all. It was entirely out of their genetic fear of dragons that they ran from the Gerald Mountains to the White River Valley in one go. Now that the beast tide has long been exhausted, coupled with being in such a living column, the momentum suddenly collapsed, and many of them stopped.

It's just that the beasts in front are standing, and the ones behind are still pouring into the canyon.

This is an hourglass-like canyon, with a narrow middle and flares on both sides, which originally had a piling effect. The comrades-in-arms were positioned in the narrowest place, and they behaved as if they were trying to build a dam that would stop the flood - and now the dam and the flood met in a narrow way!

Whether the dam will hold back the flood or whether the flood will eventually break the dam is completely unknown.

"Stand back, ignition!" Seeing that the most ferocious first impact was blocked, Ella finally breathed a sigh of relief. She saw that the beasts were gathering more and more, and her eyes began to move again, so she immediately gave the order for the second step.

The fighters of the regiment of comrades drew their shields, turned and ran. The farmer, who was hiding behind them, lit the torch and threw it vigorously onto the straw stack where they had been standing. The straw was piled up in a shallow ditch and topped with grease beforehand. Now it was roasted by a torch, and it burned fiercely, turning into a river of flames.

The beast was afraid of fire, and the beast in front fled backwards, while the back was still rushing forward, and the front and back were in chaos, and the waves of chaos were still spreading backwards.

"The situation looks good, but the biggest danger is yet to come. You know, the flames won't stop long. The retreating Cisco Moon happened to be standing next to Ella and whispered. In this case, unless a dozen of us all transform into werewolves......"

"No, that's impossible!" Before Cisco could finish speaking, Ella categorically interrupted him.

"There are too many outsiders here," she said, glancing at the farmers who were helping to maintain the battle line, and said in a low voice. "And once the situation spreads...... There are a large number of werewolves among the members of the Brothers-in-Arms? I can not care about myself! You can also not care about the hunt of the silver hands! But five thousand years of glory since Sgramer created the Brothers-in-Arms...... The kind of tradition that my mother and my mother's mother upheld, must not be stained! ”

She said it categorically and non-negotiable.

Yes, where there are people, there are contradictions, and the core "ring" of the comrade-in-arms group is no exception.

Because of the differences in beliefs between the werewolves and the Nords, the core "ring" of the comrades-in-arms has actually been vaguely divided into two factions - one of which is like Ciscoyue, who believes that werewolf blood is a gift. It is hoped that the Nord tradition of the Brothers-in-Arms will be replaced with a new bloodline tradition, which will not only justify the name of the werewolf bloodline, but also allow the Brothers-in-Arms to re-enter the world stage; The other faction believes that werewolf blood is a curse, and they always want to expel these curses and return to the bodies of ordinary Nords.

The leader of the Brothers-in-Arms, Korak Whitehair, was a member of the first faction in his youth, but as the people grew old and death approached, he became more and more inclined to the second faction out of his yearning for Songard. However, for him, whether he can go to Songgard after death is a personal matter, and he will never use this matter to drag down the entire group of comrades; Ella, on the other hand, believes in Helsing and likes the power of transforming into a werewolf, but she is not rejecting those who oppose the werewolf bloodline.

This makes her the middle man between the two factions, like Corac Whitehair—which is why Ella isn't smart, but Corac will give her the command. She knows when to stick to her principles and uphold the traditions of her comrades. And Cisco Yue wants to take the opportunity to expose the werewolf bloodline of her comrades, which she absolutely cannot allow.

"Cisco month, I'm staring at you! And don't forget that there are also Silver Hands, they are not so easy to deal with......" Ella looked directly at Cisco, until he looked away, and then he said in a loud voice, "All of them, raise your bows!" Get ready for a salvo! ”

Unfortunately, her bow died before she could get out of the way, and Ella looked left and right, grabbed a huge rock, and held it above her head.

"Listen to my commands, 1...... 2……”

Wheat straw burns quickly, and the grease is not endless. After the initial deflagration, the moat of flames was rapidly lowering, and it was about to burn out. The fear of dragons is deeply rooted in the blood of wild beasts, and they simply cannot resist them by nature. If you want to dispel the beast tide, it's not enough to just block them, but also to dispel their fear of dragons with greater fear! The first two steps are just appetizers, and a killing is inevitable!

Ella looked around and sighed silently in her heart—she didn't know how many members would survive this battle......

"3 - Shooting !!"

She threw the boulder out of her hand with all her might!

"Whoosh~!" "Whoosh~!" "Whoosh~!"

*****

The deafening sound of breaking wind flew past Ella's cheek, adding an extra trail of blood to her face with three claw marks!

The salvo took place, but it was not from the side of the comrades-in-arms, but from the other side of the river of fire to attack first!

Like a raindrop of arrows, the metal arrows and feathered arrows pierced through the sea of fire, swishing like a strong wind.

Those sharp arrows not only knocked the arrows that had just been shot by the comrades-in-arms not far from the string, but also cut off the longbow arms held by the warriors by the way! And the remaining arrows, some of which pierced through the decoration of helmets, some of which nailed someone's iron boots to the ground - a hundred shots, but with mercy!

After the rain of arrows, except for the abrasions on Ella's face, everyone in the comrade-in-arms group was attacked, and no one was injured! What an amazing archery is this?! Even Ella couldn't help but break her heart.

But even though all the arrows were stopped, the boulder Ella threw rolled and smashed into an area where wolves were gathering - all staring nervously at the stone. They knew that the man who stopped them from shooting the arrow would not sit idly by and watch the dragon smash the wolves into a bloody pulp.

He can either stop the boulder or he can't stop it, but he can attack Ella to "take revenge...... Cisco Moon grabbed Ella's side and raised his shield!

"Wushuang!" In the midst of the tension, they heard two words shouted—and a man-tall white saber-toothed tiger leaped out of the herd and grabbed under the rock.

Because the speed was so fast and sudden, they even saw only a figure sitting on the back of a tiger. Immediately afterwards, the view was obscured by the falling rocks, and it was impossible to see what was happening behind the rocks. But with the "sonorous ~~! "Two shrill grinding noises, two cross-shaped rays of light piercing the rock from behind!

Then a horizontal stroke, a vertical split, and the light slashed the boulder into four petals! Peerless Rock Slashing Sword!

The shattered rocks flew in different directions, but they all got out of the way.

The parting boulder finally revealed the scene that stood behind it - the white saber-toothed giant tiger pounced in the wolf pack, and the person sitting on it was slowly inserting the double sword back into the scabbard on his back with his back facing the direction of his comrades.

The man was wearing an emerald green full-body armor and a helmet, but his lower body was not leg armor but was divided into three pieces of skirt armor, which seemed to be for the sake of convenience (plus) riding (drifting) and multiplying (bright).

The saber-toothed tigers that fell into the wolves were not besieged by the wolves - it stands to reason that the beasts did not know who stopped the falling stones, and then thanked them or something...... They don't understand such a complex causal relationship - it's strange that the wolves don't attack the saber-toothed tigers, nor do they make threatening teeth-baring behaviors. In the same way, the giant tiger just squeezed away from the wolf next to him to make himself move more freely, and then obediently stopped there.

What is even more rare is that the man was unhurried in the midst of the beasts, and it was strange that no beast took the opportunity to attack the back of his neck!

These soldiers of the comrade-in-arms group, Ella's words are not bragging, they are all good hunters. Now seeing this unreasonable scene, he was stunned for a while, and did not continue to attack according to Ella's order. And Ella also felt a dilemma, how to fight when people and beasts were mixed together? The sudden situation made her scratch her head even more, who was already not good at adapting.

The man patted the seated tiger again, as if to say something. The saber-toothed tiger roared in response, as if expressing some kind of dissatisfaction, but how could it sound like a cat was coquettish?

Hearing this, Eraden, who loved big cats, was shot in the heart and narrowed his eyes with joy. Everyone saw the saber-toothed tiger take two steps back, and then galloped wildly, taking advantage of a jump...... The huge body stretched out its limbs strongly, and it jumped from the sea of fire!

The people of the comrade-in-arms had not retreated far in the first place, and as soon as the white tiger jumped over the wall of fire and took two more steps, he had already come to the edge of the second shield wall.

Such a big tiger is standing in front of him, and it must be a lie to say that he is not nervous! Besides, the tiger's eyes were at human level, and their eyeballs were bigger than a fist—it was lying on its stomach, and you said how big the tiger was! The fighters in front of them felt their hearts beat to their throats. Although they were very courageous and did not retreat, they all raised their shields.

As a result, the man glanced at the people rather nonchalantly, and finally stopped his gaze on Ella.

"You're the woman who just threw the stone? Why smash the ashes? She is still a mother for the first time, and she is already psychologically fragile, and she was almost scared by you to miscarry just now! ”

Psychologically fragile? Abortion? You're talking about wolves?

The men of the comrade-in-arms subconsciously turned their heads to look at the wolves, and sure enough, they saw a wolf with a round belly being protected by the wolves in the center, it was really a she-wolf with a child! …… But the stone falling should not be a scare for a miscarriage, but a smash of flesh, right?

"How do I know it's pregnant?! I'm just looking for a random direction to throw stones......" In the face of this person's groundless accusations, Ella's heart became inexplicably empty...... She reluctantly defended herself, but her voice became quieter and quieter.

Wait a minute! This voice speaks......

"You're a woman?!" Ella shouted in shock.

The men of the comrades-in-arms were shocked, and many of them even punched their heads! Damn, I said something was wrong just now - it was a voice! That voice is a woman's voice! And my focus turned out to be stupidly turning my head to see Nima's pregnant she-wolf...... My sensitivity can't even compare to Ella's man's wife, and I really deserve to be a single dog for the rest of my life!

"What's wrong with women, do you look down on women?"

Whispering softly, like a spring breeze.

As if feeling this rude, she took off her helmet as she spoke...... Long golden hair poured down from the helmet and splashed haphazardly onto the emerald green shoulder armor. Snow-white skin, perfect shaved cheeks, and a pair of eyes as blue as a lake, shining in the firelight!

She just sat on the back of the tiger, and it was as if the brightest star had risen in the sky......

"The first time we met, I was Evansida," she said as she said a beautiful name in an unknown language, then switched to lingua franca.

"You can call me, Twilight."
