Chapter 110: Beast Tide (I)
The setting sun is like fire, extending the shadows.
On the only road leading to the principality, a large number of people were slowly moving forward, silver spears and armor, and neat soldiers, led by dozens of cavalry, escorted several luxurious dragon chariots in the middle.
Several huge fire dragons took deep steps, one by one, pulling a carriage the size of a ship, like pulling a moving castle.
"Captain Pietro, can we march a little faster, at this level, by the time we reach the town, it will be completely dark for a long time!"
In the cavalry ranks, a man dressed in a way that was clearly different from the others, with a family coat of arms on his collar, looked up in the direction of the sun, and said to the captain of the guard beside him.
"Butler Lenk," the resolute man in his thirties, dressed in actual armor, frowned slightly, and there was a hint of coldness in his calm eyes like dead wood, "Are you questioning my ability to lead now?" β
Petero's background is not very good, but with years of hard work, he has become a powerful warrior, and he has grown up listening to the stories of the Brave Demon King, and he doesn't like the current era, because now, he can only submit to the protection of the nobility in order to survive. But even if the cruelty has knocked him down, it can't erase his pride as a brave man.
In his eyes, the baron's itinerary this time is simply shit, as long as two giant birds are called, it will take less than a few hours to reach the distance, and it will not be the slowest fire dragon to pull the largest carriage for hundreds of kilometers. It was just incomprehensible to him.
Is this the swing between the aristocracy? What is this? A dismount? What are we, the guards? Is it just a guard of honor?
The captain, who was already angry, was a little annoyed by the butler's seemingly polite attitude, which was actually contemptuous at all.
Butler Lenk froze slightly, and the smile on his face became even kinder. He was the butler of the baron's house, and in a sense, he was also a kind of pseudo-nobleman, with a higher status than the chief of the guard, but he did not have a trace of superiority in Pietro, which made him feel a little jealous in his heart.
However, he is a smart man, and he knows very well when he can provoke the guards and when he should not. Now is not a good time.
Tiyì was not satisfied, and Lenk Butler was not ready to talk nonsense with him, a little captain of the guard, if he wanted to clean up, there was a chance.
Suddenly, a cavalryman who was exploring the way in front of him rode his horse from the front with a frightened look, turned over and jumped down in front of Pietro, and said breathlessly: "Captain! There is a beast tide attacking! The number is more than five hundred, and the degree is very fast, and it will rush over in a few minutes at most. β
Petero's face was solemn, he stretched out his hand to pull out the greatsword that he was deeply affected by, and calmly ordered: "Defend the formation, protect the baron." β
The soldiers behind him quickly stopped, and a group of men and horses rushed out, orderly and fast. Each team of centaurs is like a feather, quickly floating up and quickly sticking to the guard area centered on the fire dragon chariot, a piece of feathers floating, and soon the fire dragon contract is surrounded in all directions, soldiers and cavalry front and rear arrays, weapons on the body out of the sheath, carriage and castle on the spear and short cannon quickly set up, soon became a strong defensive bunker.
Butler Lenk was nowhere to be found, and Captain Pietro stood at the front of the entire team, his big sword in his hand was held behind him, his eyes were staring at the front, his legs were slightly bent, and his body was full of light, and it was obvious that he had used the magic power of his whole body and was ready to fight with all his might.
The roar continued,
In the distance, there seemed to be an endless number of beasts in the billowing smoke and dust, like thousands of horses galloping, shaking the ground with a roar, with the majesty of Mount Tai rushing to this side.
Pyro understood for a moment why the soldier was so frightened, there were so many of them that it was unreasonable. The degree is fast, rolling like a flood bursting an embankment, as if it is about to crush every blockade.
"Where did this herd come from? Is it the Black Forest? β
Petro shook his head, flicking the thought that popped out of his mind.
It is worthy of the noble escort, in the face of such a terrifying majesty of the beasts, no one in the escort team fled, although the soldiers were also pale, but looking at their hands clenched with weapons, they were obviously waiting for the order to attack.
In the face of floods, it is a dead act to block head-on, and avoiding is the right choice.
Soon Pietro gave the order: "Shoot the copper wall, everyone should retreat sideways to avoid the beast tide!" β
As soon as the order was given, the soldiers immediately turned around and escorted several small dragon carts to rush up the mountain. And the huge and heavy turret array in front of the Fire Dragon Castle burst out with a sky-shattering cannon sound, and countless shining cannonballs rushed straight to the group of beasts.
Rumble!!
The flames were connected, and the flames that exploded at the same time became a wall of fire, and the flames rose more than ten meters into the sky, as if an iron wall of flames blocked the beasts.
The runes of magic tangle and rotate on the wall of fire, sometimes getting bigger, sometimes smaller, sometimes twisting and elongating, and then smaller and disappearing. But the flames kept spewing out, as if the ground was a volcano in the first place.
Ten horsemen stood behind Pietro, their eyes glued to the wall of fire, their hands tightly gripping the hilt of their swords, the blades glistening as if waiting for the herd to rush through the wall of fire and strike a fatal blow at any moment.
The soldiers were well trained and soon moved several wagons to the hillside, forming a new defensive formation with the Fire Dragon Castle as a shield.
The roaring sound of the beasts running was still ringing, and it was getting louder and louder, crushing the hunting and burning of the wall of flames.
Rumble!
A large wave burst out of the wall of fire, slashing it into two like endless waves, and the tidal wave of beasts trampled on it, and the fire that soared into the sky was trampled alive.
Pietro's team had also retreated to the hillside, and although he was not afraid of such a large herd, he was secretly frightened. At this time, I couldn't help praying, hoping that the beasts would ignore them and go down.
At this time, he finally saw the beast that made up the herd, it was a kind of beast that was mostly as long as a wolfhound, mixed with a body as long as a lion and a tiger, with sharp claws, a pointed tail, and although the fur was soft and white, it was still hideous and terrifying.
"It's a pack of wolves!" A soldier behind him exclaimed, a little incredible, a little puzzled, but more fearful.
Wow!
There was a commotion among the soldiers, as the herd had stopped when it had rushed to a distance of five hundred meters. It was as if the rushing flood was stopped for a moment, and the feeling of discord made everyone uncomfortable. Because they know that avoiding a fight is already a luxury!
A huge white wolf came out in a row, with graceful steps and a haughty attitude, as if the king was patrolling his territory. Behind it were four white wolves that were one size smaller, but no one would ever think of them as a species. The single horn on their heads already reveals their identity.
"Seventh-level demonic beast! Wind Demon Wolf! β
"Sixth-level Demonic Beast! One-horned wolf! Bastards, aren't they lone wolves? How could it be together? β
There were constantly startled soldiers, and every word made them tremble.
With arrogance and ruthlessness, the giant wolf looked coldly at the human team in front of him, and the one-horned wolf behind him seemed to have wisdom, and automatically dodged away, each staring at one direction of the Fire Dragon Castle, with cold and ruthless eyes.
Inside the Fire Dragon Castle, the lavish banquet could no longer be carried out. Thinly dressed beauties huddled behind the baron, trying to find that glimmer of security.
The baron's delicately maintained face was pale, and the scene he saw through the balcony made him feel cold in his heart, and he gritted his teeth and said, "What's going on?" Didn't the herd in the north of the principality be cleared at a fixed point? How can there be so many? Why did these wolf-like demonic beasts of different ranks get together? Doesn't the Wind Demon Wolf like to eat its own kind? β
Butler Lenk didn't know where he came out, although his legs and feet were a little weak, but his face remained calm, and said, "Your Excellency, you don't have to worry, the soldiers of the escort team are all carefully selected veterans, and they are the most reliable. What's more, the Fire Dragon Castle given by the Grand Duke is not a simple thing, its force is enough to resist some demonic beasts! β
"Some Warcraft?!" Displeased, the baron pointed to the wolves that were rushing towards them as if they were about to drown them, "Do you call this situation some magical beasts?" β
Steward Lenk bowed his head and said, "Your Excellency, don't worry, there are still birds in the castle, you can ......"
Before he finished speaking, the baron's face miraculously improved, patted Lenk on the shoulder, and said, "Oh, I forgot if you didn't say it." But don't worry, we're meant to fight with the guards! β
Suddenly, a one-horned wolf howled in the sky, and its voice pierced through the sky.
Among the wolves, the youngest Bai Lang suddenly rushed out, and the corners of his mouth showed hideous canine teeth and rushed towards the Fire Dragon Castle. The soldiers walked quickly and diverted, leaning against the fire dragon castle with their shields raised and swords.
The wolves pounced on the soldiers quickly, their sharp teeth constantly beckoning to the soldiers' armor, biting the armor one after another, and the soldiers slashed with the steel swords in their hands in despair, slammed with their bodies, and smashed them with their shields. Flesh and blood fly, and the white wolf suffered huge casualties. Cheer up the soldiers.
Then under the tide-like attack, many soldiers were thrown to the ground by the white wolf, and then several or even dozens of white wolves continued to work hard to bite through the soldier's armor, and then buried him silently.
On the higher mountain opposite the Fire Dragon Castle, there were already many people on the cliff who were looking this way. He was still muttering: "The first-level demonic beast is really not good!" The head of the armor can't be bitten, and the body is not good! Well, the first-level demonic beast is almost dead, and the killing is less than five? Isn't it of much use to have a numerical advantage here? Combat effectiveness can only be mid-to-bottom. Then start the second-level Warcraft test ......"
