Chapter 62: Demon Beast Attack
Late at night, in the North.
The cold wind whistled through the Atlantic Valley, blowing the camp flag hunting, the lights in the valley were swaying, and the camp of the Knights of Light stretched for dozens of miles, at this time most of the cavalry were already immersed in sleep, and they were exhausted by an afternoon of bloody fighting, but the attack of the northern demon beasts did not seem to have stopped because of this.
In the camp for wounded soldiers, the light of the fire was flickering, and clusters of bonfires provided a small amount of warmth to the wounded soldiers, and on the dense hospital beds, there were seriously wounded and lightly wounded knights lying there, some of them made a low whimper* sound, and one by one the priests from the Holy See of Light were raising their palms to heal the wounded soldiers' injuries with holy light, and some medical officers were applying medicine to the wounded soldiers.
In the north of the camp, a column of sentinels rode in the night, their horses' hooves were very soft, and they were all selected from the south's high-quality war horses, which were lighter in size, but extremely fast, and had light armor on their belts, which belonged to the relatively rare light cavalry in the Knights of Light.
"Rustling ......"
Suddenly, there was a sound of a search in the taiga.
"Stop!"
In front of the sentry cavalry queue, a sentry captain gently raised his palms, his eyes were full of star source power, staring at the jungle in the distance, his face was full of solemnity, and said, "There is movement...... It seems to be!"
"Phew!"
A wisp of black light pierced through the night, and with a "poof" it penetrated his throat, and then it was nailed to a big tree behind him, buzzing, and it was a black spike, full fifty centimeters long, and even the thick trunk of the bowl had pierced through!
"This ......"
A sentry looked at the scene of the captain's tragic death, trembled, and said, "It's a fifth-order demon beast frost porcupine, it's bad!"
"Shield!"
Someone shouted, and suddenly the sentry riders dismounted, blocking the light shield made of tortoise shell in front of them to protect the safety of themselves and the war horse, and the next second, there was a sound of "roar and roar" in the jungle, and a huge figure appeared, and then the needles flew wildly, and the needles that could not be caught by the naked eye came overwhelmingly.
"Puff puff ......"
In the blink of an eye, a number of sentry riders fell to the ground, some were pierced through the door by the porcupine's needles, some were pierced through the chest, and many of the horses were also injured, and let out a series of wailing sounds.
"Oops!"
A sentry held a shield in one hand and a bamboo tube in the other, and said: "It's a large-scale attack by the Demon Beast Legion, hurry up and notify the camp, let the wounded battalion move immediately, it's too late!"
As he spoke, he pulled the rope on the bamboo tube, and it was suddenly ignited, accompanied by a sharp sound of breaking wind, and the signal flare in the bamboo tube went up to the sky, dragging a long blood-red trajectory.
After releasing the signal, the sentry immediately threw the bamboo tube, pulled out his sword from behind him, and roared: "Brothers, blocking this group of demon beasts, how much time can be bought for the camp, and sacrificing here is the glory of a member of our Knights of Light!"
"Fight with these brutes!"
A group of people drew their blades, turned on their horses, and rushed into the dark jungle in front of them.
......
"Roar—"
Under a earth-shattering roar, the firelight suddenly rose from the depths of the cold jungle, a total of three fires, they galloped in the jungle, the speed was amazing, even faster than the war horse running at full speed, almost instantly rushed to the front of the sentry cavalry team, there were three wolf creatures covered in flames, a pair of greedy and cruel eyes looked at this group of sentry horses, as if watching a good meal.
"Oops...... Oops......"
The incomparably brave sentry rider before was dumbfounded, looking at the condescending giant wolf demon beasts in front of him, he couldn't help but tremble, his eyes were full of despair, and said, "Flame hyena...... It's a seventh-order demon beast, so don't even think about escaping...... Fight with it!"
"Roar!"
The roar of anger stirred in the jungle, and a flame hyena swept in, and its claws swept out an indestructible wave of flame qi, instantly burning all the shields of a group of sentry riders, and the claws waved, and suddenly the miserable howl echoed in the jungle, and the sentry cavalry team composed of more than a hundred members of the Knights of Light was wiped out by the demon beast army led by the three-headed flame hyena without even a trace of resistance.
At this time, outside the camp, the knights on the walled city shot rockets one after another, and immediately lit the piles of bonfires prepared on the periphery, and the flames rose to the sky, and the soldiers on the city wall gritted their teeth one by one, trembling all over, in stark contrast to the roars of the monsters in the distance.
"They're coming!"
An earth knight-level general gritted his teeth, held a sharp sword in his hand, and said, "It's a flame hyena, a seventh-order demon beast...... Holy, our night watchmen are gone!"
"The army of the big battalion is coming, do you want to open the city gates?"
"Huh, the city gates?"
The earth knight glanced at the simple stone and wood city gate, and couldn't help but laugh: "Under the sharp claws of the flame hyena, what is the point of this kind of city gate? Everyone prepares bows and arrows, and once they get close, they will shoot them back, and the people of the logistics supply unit will immediately move the wounded barracks to the south, let the wounded soldiers go first, be quick, we are running out of time!"
"Roar—"
In the distance, a three-meter-tall flame hyena walked out of the jungle, biting a sentry rider who was still struggling, looking coldly in the direction of the camp, "poof", and biting the knight into three sections, chewing it in a big mouth, as if it was provocative.
Seventh-order demon beasts, even in the northern realm, are rare, not to mention the flame hyena, a demon beast known for its ferocity, the posture of the strongest among the demon beasts is undoubtedly revealed, and the strong qi forms a huge aura, making the defenders of the Knights of Light in the walled city feel as if they are about to suffocate.
"It's coercion...... OMG!"
Wisps of fine sweat oozed from the forehead of the Earth Knight General, and he said, "This is a flame hyena that has cultivated the power of the realm, it's too bad...... Could it be that our army of 5,000 people is going to be wiped out here today? Everyone, cheer me up, even if the demon beasts want to destroy them, I must break off a few of their teeth and tell them that the human race is not easy to mess with!"
"Yes, sir!"
......
In the distance, the flame hyena roared again, and behind him, the figures of the other two flame hyenas also appeared one by one, and the three flame hyenas roared together, and suddenly the sound of Xi Xi Suo continued to come from the jungle, and in the next second, countless demon beasts rushed out, most of them were first-order and second-order demon beasts, and there were also some third-order, fourth-order and even fifth-order demon beasts, overwhelming.
"Arrows!"
The knights on the walled city roared.
Suddenly, the knights in the camp opened their bows one after another, and clusters of arrows "snorted" through the air, low and powerful, "poof" into the body of the demon beast, and even killed some low-level demon beasts immediately, outside, under the light of the fire, there were constantly monster beasts in the arrow rolling, but more demon beasts rushed to the walled city, claws waved, "pop" and splashed sawdust, and some released flames, wind blades and other attacks on the knights on the city wall.
"Defense!"
After the earth knight general gave an order, the knights in the front row roared angrily, and the star source power of his body exploded, condensing the frost shield and other defensive combat skills in front of him, and suddenly a blue frost energy was connected, but this could not resist the opponent's strong attack at all, accompanied by a roar, one of the flame hyenas suddenly opened its bloody mouth, and there was an overwhelming flame in the direction of the camp!
"Peng—"
After a loud bang, the nearly ten-meter-long camp was burned to ashes, and the knights on the walled city were also killed in battle.
"Roar!"
The flaming hyena looked at the knights on the walled city with fierce eyes, as if demonstrating.
"We ...... today"
The earth knight trembled, under the gaze of the seventh-order demon beast, as if he had been seen out of all his cowardly thoughts, his face was pale, he held a sharp sword in his hand, and said, "Are we really going to finish today?"
"Roar!"
The flame hyena roared again, with a bow of its body, its powerful legs stomped on the ground, and it flew suddenly, its flame-filled body was volleyed into the air in a blink of an eye, its bloody mouth was wide open, and another raging flame element was ready to attack, this blow would fall from the sky, killing all the members of the Knights of Light that could be covered!
"It's over......"
A group of knights almost gave up resistance, lost their fighting spirit under the pressure of the demon beast's domain, and fell to their knees one after another.
......
At this moment, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves on the eastern path, and then a figure separated the air with a "whoosh", turning into a thunderbolt that appeared above everyone, stepping on the sky, the emblem of the Knights of Light on his shoulders was incomparably bright, and the sword in his hand was surrounded by wisps of thunder, making a "crackling" sound, and he didn't want to slash at the flame hyena with a sword!
"Peng—"
Blood splattered, and the originally arrogant flame hyena was actually directly shocked by the powerful sword, and after falling to the ground, it howled miserably, rolling all over the ground, leaving a deep sword mark on its neck, and wisps of thunder were still wantonly drilling into its body, forming a second attack.
Hunting in a white cloak, this knight had short flowing blond hair, the sword blade in his hand turned thunder, he glanced back at everyone, and his sword eyebrows tightened: "This is already the second camp that has been raided by demon beasts today, why is this?"
Where did everyone know the answer, they just looked at him dumbfounded, and finally, the earth knight general trembled, and asked cautiously: "My lord, ...... Are you a Knight of Light?"
"Assemble a defensive line and prepare to defend against the enemy. He said lightly.
"Yes!"
The next moment, the Light Knight turned into an afterimage and rushed into the group of demon beasts in the distance, the sword light thundered, and the thunder storm of sword qi surging swept the corpses of the demon beasts and flew sideways, not to mention those low-level demon beasts under his fierce attack, even the other two flame hyenas could not fight head-on, with criss-crossing injuries and tails on their bodies, they fled into the dense forests in the north.
......
"Hoo ......"
Erko brushed his short hair on his forehead, his eyes were solemn, he turned on his horse, and rode his horse into the distance again, heading to rescue the next camp of the Knights of Light who was attacked by the Demon Beast Legion.
