Chapter Twenty-Five: Wolf's Den Lake: The Devil's Lair?

The wolves did not show any patience, and as soon as they arrived at the camp of the crusading army, they launched an impatient attack.

They didn't seem to see how high the walls of the camp were, how deep the trenches were, and how the soldiers who were heavily armed and armed with spears from behind the fence of the wall rushed straight up.

Their sturdy bodies contain great strength, and they can jump over the wide trench with just a slight jump, but when they want to jump over the wall, they are just a cut short, and even with all their might, they can only jump about halfway through the wall.

Jumping to this height, of course, is simply not enough.

Some of the demon wolves fell and fell into the trench beneath the wall, where they were stabbed by the spikes at the bottom of the trench and let out a miserable cry. Others, with their claws and good luck, managed to find a point of focus on the wall and jumped a little higher.

But that didn't make much sense, the point of focus found in a hurry was not enough to make them use their full strength, and although they jumped a little higher than before, they were still far from the top of the wall.

One of them was particularly lucky, or very strong, and even jumped to a height almost equivalent to a fence. But it was even worse, and the crusading soldiers, who had been waiting for a long time, stabbed their spears fiercely without saying a word.

This soldier's strength is not very strong, but spear stabbing is the basic skill of a soldier, even if he is facing a moving target, his hit rate is also very good, and a spear is poking at the demon wolf's body.

Although it was not a fatal wound, the demon wolf let out a terrible cry, even worse than the wolves that landed at the bottom of the trench and were stabbed by the spikes.

At this call, an experienced old knight—who had been appointed by Jaime as his lieutenant—smiled smugly.

"How does it feel to have a spear head plated with holy silver, you brutes, this is a gift for you!"

Looking at his vicious appearance, the panda was a little puzzled and asked, "It's worth being happy to stab a wolf?"

"Of course!" replied the old knight with a straight face, "the monsters of Wolf's Den Lake are completely different from other places, they are not beasts at all, but should be regarded as something more evil and terrifying. When you also participate in the battle and get up close and personal with them, you will understand - any person of reasonable mind, after coming into contact with them, will have a strong hatred and anger from the bottom of their heart, as if they have seen something particularly disgusting and disgusting. ”

The panda was a little puzzled and asked, "I've seen a lot of Warcraft or something, is it so exaggerated?"

"The monsters you see elsewhere are just beasts that know how to use magic. The Warcraft here is the Warcraft in the true sense. "When I was younger, I witnessed an incident with my own eyes—in the late stages of the crusade, I followed the captain to sweep up the remnants of the monsters, and I saw several demon wolves, probably she-wolves with cubs. Guess what they're doing?"

The panda shook his head, he couldn't guess.

"They are fighting each other, the she-wolf wants to eat her young, and the cubs want to eat her mother. "There is a cub on the ground that has been disemboweled, and its entrails have been eaten." One of the she-wolf's legs has also been torn to bone, and just like that, they are still fighting. ”

The panda imagined that scene for a moment, and suddenly felt creepy, and even his hair stood upside down.

"I vomited right then and the other young people weren't much better. Under the leadership of the captain, we killed all these disgusting demon wolves, and finally determined that they only had the appearance of wolves, and the inner things were not wolves at all! Although wolves are fierce, it is impossible for mother and son to attack each other!"

Panda thought for a moment and asked, "In this way, there should be no wolf cubs in the demon wolf clan who can grow up at all...... I was eaten when I was a child. ”

"Hehe, you're still speculating about this kind of thing with normal people's thoughts, but are they normal?" the old knight shook his head, revealing a confident smile characteristic of the elder, "The world is big, and there are always things that are completely contrary to our ideas. I even suspect that they are not magical beasts at all, but the product of a demon from hell that has merged with a wild wolf!"

Panda frowned and asked, "If that's the case, the priests should be able to find the clues, right?"

The old knight sighed and shook his head: "Of course, the priests have also studied it, but in the end they denied my conjecture, saying that 'although the power of chaos and evil has been detected in the body, the concentration is not enough'...... Hey, they've all been burned by the Holy Silver, aren't they demons? they're such old-fashioned!"

Panda thought about it and felt that he had a point.

Holy silver is silver blessed by the priesthood, and its greatest use is to fight evil, especially when fighting demons. Many clerics carry a weapon plated with holy silver with them to fight evil. And anyone who would be burned by the holy silver, if it was a human, would be immediately arrested, escorted to the temple for interrogation, or directly tied to a stake and burned to death...... Because, being burned by the holy silver means that this person has either signed a contract with the demon, or is simply a descendant of the demon.

Either way, it is hostile in the human world, and it belongs to the kind that kills both the guilty and the guilty.

Since these demon wolves can be burned by the holy silver, they have indeed been demonized, and in the face of such an enemy, they should indeed be full of hatred.

Demons are the great enemies of the world, and every time a demon invades the world, it will cause extremely terrifying deaths and injuries. Even the population of the entire human world has plummeted by three to five percent, which is not an uncommon thing.

If these wolves are also demons—at least low-level demons—then their strange habits can be explained.

For demons, killing and devouring each other is a matter of course. Especially those low-level demons are often very keen to kill other demons and make themselves stronger by devouring them.

Through this method, low-level demons can become stronger in a short period of time, so the great demons of hell can easily cultivate a strong team in a short period of time if necessary.

As for death...... Demons are not afraid of death, and as long as they are not purified by the priesthood or imprisoned by magicians, death is nothing more than a resurrection from hell. Perhaps this resurrection will weaken their power, but it will never let them die.

Panda heard a famous saying before crossing over, called "Eighteen years later, another hero", for the demons, it may take a little longer than eighteen years, but they are really even if they are killed, sooner or later they will come back, and they are a good man again.

If the demonic beasts in the Wolf's Den Lake have a tendency to demonize, then this area is almost equivalent to a demon's lair, no wonder there are so many of them and they are so aggressive......

The panda took a deep breath, the light of divine energy darting across his fists.

He is also a priest, and it is also his vocation to fight against evil and against demons!
