Chapter Ninety-One: Storm Wurm Legion
The next day, early in the morning.
......
The warm sunlight fell on the grass, dispelling the chill in the jungle, when Luo Lan woke up, a ray of sunlight had already shone on his face, after a night's rest, his physical strength was already abundant, and his mental power was just as full, and even after the battle of the previous day, his mental power seemed to have increased a lot compared to before.
Not far away, there was a pungent fragrance, which was the smell of Lin Ke boiling the broth.
Luo Lan opened his eyes, looked at the sky, breathed a sigh of relief, then turned over, put on soft armor, and when he walked out of the tent, he heard the old knight Gerald's complaint: "Why, obviously we hunted meat, but in the end we only gave each of us three catties of meat per day, what is the use of this?"
On the side, Rodney was chopping firewood with a sharp sword, and said with a smile: "Lord Gerald, I don't think there is any need to complain anymore, you see that there are at least 50,000 warriors of the Knights of Light in the entire camp, but the food source is quite scarce, although we killed a lot of demon beasts yesterday and enriched the warehouse, but where can we afford to support an army of 50,000!"
Gerald held the flask and sighed: "It seems that next time we don't need to be so generous, we will have to hide some of the best meat such as the Blazing Tiger and the Flame Python." ”
"Yes. ”
Lin Ke held a spoon in one hand and stirred the soup pot, and said with a smile: "But, with all due respect, Lord Gerald, we have all been out for so many days, how long is the deadline for this trial? I miss the taste of honey deer legs in the Scarlet Castle a little!"
"It's going to be fast. ”
Gerald looked into the distance and smiled, "Perhaps, it will come soon." ”
......
At this moment, a column of cavalry galloped into the camp of the Scarlet Castle in the distance, among them, a general wearing a gold star rank turned over and dismounted, saluted respectfully at Gerald, and said: "My lord, Lord Alwyn has given the order to start marching to Broken Sword Mountain in an hour, capture Broken Sword Mountain before dark, and destroy the Storm Wurm, so, please Lord Gerald lead the members of the Blood Castle to help in the battle, without you, we may not be able to defeat the Storm Wurm." ”
"Hmph~~~~"
Gerald snorted softly and said, "Lord Elwin...... The ambition is really not small, I actually want to take the initiative to challenge the territory of the seventh-order demon beast, it seems that this Broken Sword Mountain is very important, isn't it?"
"Yes. ”
The general said in a deep voice: "Broken Sword Mountain is only less than five miles away from our Northern Avenue, and the Demon Beast Legion ruled by Storm Wurm has always been intimidating our Northern Route, so it can be said that we will not be able to regain the right of transportation in the north without exterminating the Legion ruled by Storm Wulong." ”
"Got it, we'll go with the army to help. ”
"Yes, my subordinates will go back to life!"
He got on his horse and galloped away.
The old knight looked indifferent, and after taking a sip of wine, he said: "What Elwin's order, this must be an order from the top of the Bright Sect, that Erwin guy cherishes his strength so much, he won't send the soldiers to death!"
On the side, Luo Lan sat on the ground and said, "Lord Gerald, what kind of existence is the Storm Wurm, I don't seem to have seen this kind of creature in the Demon Beast Secret Archive. ”
"Hmm. ”
The old knight nodded and said: "Storm wurm is a mutated wurm creature, with a part of the bloodline of the dragon clan, but more of it is the bloodline of low-level creatures, it is said that there are not a few such storm wurms in the entire northern border, and they have only recently slipped into the Star Source Continent from the gap in the Sky Gate, so it is normal that there is no record in the Demon Beast Secret Codex." ”
"It'...... Is it strong?" Parker asked.
"Strong?"
The old knight glanced at him, saw that Parker panicked, and then smiled: "The Heavenly Knights who have fought with the Storm Wurm of the Bright Knights once said that among the seventh-order demon beasts, the strength of the Storm Wurm can be regarded as the top, and it can even touch the lower limit of the strength of the eighth-order demon beasts, so I will say that the only 50,000 troops to attack the Storm Wurm territory, I don't know how many people will die in this battle." ”
Lin Kexiu frowned lightly: "In that case, do we still want to go?"
"Go, why not. ”
The old knight smiled slightly: "Before leaving, the little girl Catherine has already told me to give you the greatest degree of sharpening, in this case, how can you miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to fight with the storm wurm, I don't ask much of you, live, this is the highest order for you, once you encounter the storm wurm, I will allow you to be timid, and even allow you to be deserters, it doesn't matter, the most important thing is to appreciate how powerful the top seventh-order demon beasts are, do you understand?"
"Got it!"
"Okay, you're all well fed and ready to go. ”
"Yes, sir!"
......
This meal, it was indeed full, Luo Lan killed three bowls of broth plus five wild vegetable cakes, and when he rode on horseback, he even felt that the armor on his abdomen was about to be propped up, and the rest of the students were also ready, Avril, Lin Ke, Caroline and others also put on soft armor, put on the cloak of the Knights of Light, and looked heroic and straight, and the group all went on the road, followed by nearly a thousand cavalry brought out from the blood-colored castle, slowly following the legion.
In the morning, the breeze was warm, and the jungle was almost everywhere with the Knights of Light army, and the 50,000-strong army set out, pointing straight to the northwest.
Until the afternoon, in the distance, a mountain range that looked like a short sword across the heavens and the earth appeared in front of him, very strange, the mountain peak was extremely steep, and just above the mountain range, wisps of evil qi appeared, condensed in the air into a blood-colored floating cloud, motionless, just shrouded above the mountain range.
"It's really demonic......"
Gerald held the hilt of his sword in his hand, his eyes were cold, and he said, "Maybe only a seventh-order demon beast can rule such a demon beast army, Lord Elwin, be careful!"
"Understood. ”
Wearing a silver lion helmet, Alvin squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, and said: "You can't directly attack Broken Sword Mountain, the terrain monsters there are more familiar, our only chance of winning is to fight a positional battle, send the order down, cut down the surrounding woods, build our position, prepare your bows and arrows and sword blades, it's time to prove the strength of the Knights of Light!"
"Yes, sir!"
Everyone nodded, and then cleared a large open space in the jungle, and some cavalry dismounted, carrying a one-man high shield forward, and formed the first shield array at the front, and just behind the shield array was a group of spearmen, holding nearly three meters long war spears, the spear tips protruded, glowing with an eerie cold, making people shudder.
In the back row, a group of cavalry wearing bows and arrows are waiting, and then behind, there are towering siege thunder carts, the huge crossbar is covered with inscriptions, the brilliance is looming, this crossbar is called "thunder gun", once shot, the power of the thunder element will have the power to destroy the world, which is also one of the strongest weapons of the Knights of Light.
Luo Lan rode his war horse and looked back uneasily, and there were dozens of thunder carts standing behind him, already gathering momentum.
......
Not long after, a white wave of air suddenly rose into the sky in the distance, and then a noisy sound came from the direction of Broken Sword Mountain, and there seemed to be wisps of flames soaring into the sky.
"They're already aware of it. ”
Alwyn frowned and said with a smile: "Hmph, the noses of this group of demon beasts are really magical, and they can smell the breath of the living so far away, all the brothers of the Knights of Light, raise your shields and blades, and prepare to face the battle, and the time has come to prove our courage!"
"Drink!"
In the front row, a group of knights fixed their shields on the surface, looking forward one by one from the gaps in the shields, under the steel helmets, some of the eyes were resolute, some were confused and a little worried, many of these people were trainee knights and knights, and the status of the Knights of Light belonged to the lowest level, but when it came to the real battle, they had to be at the front.
"Here they are. ”
The old knight Gerald narrowed his eyes, looked at the sound of a man-tall grass in the distance in front of him, and said, "Everyone, prepare to fight, our opponent is about to appear!"
Luo Lan frowned, immediately put the snake sword back into the sheath, and grabbed the war bow equipped for him from the side of the horse, this is a hard bow, and the strength of ordinary people can't pull it away at all, but Luo Lan is different, his strength has exceeded a thousand kilograms, and the Knights of Light are relatively strong, "Squeak" easily pulled out the war bow, and then aimed into the distance, "Wow" shot out, and suddenly a storm wolf who had just rushed out of the grass was hit by an arrow in his throat, "Woo woo" With a shout, his body flew out in reverse, which showed how terrifying the power of Luo Lan's arrow was.
"Shoot the arrows!"
The commanders of the various squads roared one after another, and for a while, the arrows from the position of the Knights of Light flew out like rain, and then crackled and fell in the grass in front of them, and for a while, there were constantly demon beasts flying up, wisps of blood splashing, but more demon beasts were constantly flying under the cover of the woodland, getting closer and closer.
"Be careful, they're coming!"
A commander gritted his teeth and said, "Shield soldiers, resist to the death, spearmen, nail all your spears to the ground, no matter how strong their impact is, block them for me!"
The next moment, the sound of "brushing" was endless, and a piece of demon beasts had rushed out of the woodland and went straight to the human position, with a giant wolf as tall as a human being, a porcupine half a human high, and a small flame rat, etc., rushing towards the position of the Knights of Light like a tide, and the next moment they collided so fiercely.
"Puff~~~"
Blood splashed, the spear pierced the body of countless demon beasts in the blink of an eye, and the impact caused was also quite terrifying, and even many soldiers with war spears in their hands had been shocked back, and more demon beasts crashed into the shield array, some high-level demon beasts broke through in one fell swoop, and bit off the head of the shield soldier with their mouths open, and some demon beasts were shocked back by the shield, and then were assassinated by the spearmen.
The scene in front of me was so shocking that everyone became part of the construction of the war.
Loraine, Avril, Caroline, and the others were stunned.
