Chapter 20: The Silver Wolves
"Whew~~~" The silver wolves are very cautious, the height of the stone wall, they can jump up, but they have no defensive ability at all in the process, and it is too easy to be attacked in the jump, so the smart silver wolves did not make any signs of attack, just waited patiently outside the wall.
"What are they waiting for?" asked Catherine, puzzled, "Wouldn't it be good for them to delay time, what if we had reinforcements?"
"They're just wolves. Pannis replied helplessly: "Don't think of them as human, and consider reinforcements." ”
"They're probably waiting for the defense to be lax, for us to show holes. The camp commander, an experienced bear orc, thought for a moment about Catherine's question and replied, "In this case, they have no chance of winning if they attack. ”
"And what about us now?" asked Pannis, "are you going to spend it with them?"
"No, we'll suffer if we consume it. The commander shook his head and said, "It is impossible for reinforcements to arrive in the short term, if they are allowed to take the initiative like this, they will be consumed sooner or later." Now they must find a way to take back the initiative and try to make them attack now. ”
"That's not what they think. Pointing to the deep grass in the distance under the wall, Pennis said, "They are hiding there, as if they are not going to give us a chance to regain the initiative." ”
Pannith was right, the grass where the silver wolves were hiding was dozens of meters away from the Warhammer stronghold, and it was difficult for any ranged skill to attack them, and the two sides could only look at each other from a distance of tens of meters, and the wolves' flashing green eyes seemed to be mocking the orcs and humans for their powerlessness. The commander's face was not very good-looking, he glared at the wolves under the wall angrily, and was silent as if he stretched out his hand behind his back, and the guard behind him handed over a set of bows and arrows in due course.
"Shoot one, and I don't believe they'll be able to dodge. The commander held the bow and arrow and whispered viciously, and drew the bow with the momentum: "No matter how smart they are, they are just a bunch of beasts, and I don't think they can endure like humans at this time." ”
"So, are you ready?" said Lina, who was silent. Or maybe it's Diana, and says darkly behind her back, "Are you ready to face the wolves that have fallen into madness because of their anger, and then be completely devoured by them?"
"What do you mean?" the commander unleashed his bow and jerked back, staring at Diana's unwavering face. "You think we can't defeat them?"
"You're still an orc, you've lived on the grassland all your life, haven't you ever dealt with the attack of the silver wolf?" Diana's eyes widened, and the majesty in her gaze made the commander take a step back. The identity of the thousand-man leader can be regarded as one of the top of the middle level in the orc army. I also admit that I have seen a lot of upper-class people, but none of these people will put so much pressure on him with just one look like Diana. This kind of pressure is like facing a powerful and majestic king, and it brings him not so much pressure as an incomparable fear.
The unwarranted fear made the orc commander ashamed and angry, but the nature of respecting the strong made him only look at Diana squarely, and he had to bow his head to a human woman: "I really haven't dealt with the attack of the silver wolf, I don't know what the difference is?"
"Unlike other wolf packs, the Silver Wolf series is very unique. Diana was pleased with the commander's response. Instead of continuing to ridicule, he patiently explained: "They value their companions the most, and they will enter a state of bloodthirsty madness because of the death of their companions." The more companions die, the deeper they enter this state. In this state, they will have a significant increase in attack power, defense, speed and strength, and the deeper the state, the greater the increase, and the stronger the remaining silver wolves. ”
The Commander did not speak, he seemed to have heard such rumors, but because he had never seen an instance. So he naturally ignored it, and now when he heard Diana mention it, he remembered the rumored horror legend of the silver wolf pack, which made his clothes behind him soaked in cold sweat because of fear. With a little respect, he asked, "Excuse me, what do you mean by dealing with them?"
"Deal with them?" Diana sighed and said helplessly, "Why do you want to deal with them without even figuring out what they are here for?"
"They...... Didn't they come to attack the stronghold?" the commander felt a little confused, and asked puzzledly, "Is there any other purpose?"
"Alas. Diana felt even more helpless. Rubbing his forehead, he sighed: "What kind of wolves have you ever seen attack a human camp when it is just dark? ”
The commander's face was hot, he felt that he had no face to see people, and he scratched his head in embarrassment and didn't know what to say to relieve his embarrassment. Seeing the tall and mighty bear man in front of him as helpless as a child, Diana couldn't bear to hit him again, sighed lightly, turned to Catherine and Pannis, and said, "I'll go down and have a look, you wait here for me to come back." ”
"You...... Go alone, no problem. Catherine asked with some concern: "There are hundreds of silver wolves below, in case ...... Why don't we go along? ”
"yes. Vivien was also rare not to be distracted, she had been silently watching the development of the situation just now, and when she heard that Diana was going to face the wolves alone, she was also very uneasy and persuaded: "Although we may not be able to help much, as long as we stand on the sidelines, it is also a deterrent to the silver wolves, so that they dare not mess around at will." ”
Diana smiled, smiled happily, gently touched Vivien and Catherine's heads, shook her head, and said: "No need, we are the same kind, the purest kind, unless we compete for the throne, we will never show our claws to the same kind, so you don't need to worry about me." The situation of these children is a bit strange, I have to go down and see, you will only provoke the wolves to be wary, so you can watch me perform here. ”
After Diana finished speaking, without waiting for Catherine and Vivien to answer, she gave Pannius a look of approval, then turned and jumped down. The commander didn't hear Diana's words clearly, and was startled when he saw Diana suddenly jump down, but fortunately Pannis explained in time: "Don't be nervous, our companion has some experience in communicating with wolves, she went down to negotiate, wait patiently." In addition, there is no need to be so nervous, let everyone relax a little, even if you want to fight, you will fight after negotiations, and now you have been so vigilant, and when you are going to go to war, it is estimated that everyone has already been tired and half dead. ”
Lina jumped off the city wall, and she seemed to really turn into a silver wolf in the dark night, and only flickered in people's sights for a few moments, and then disappeared into the tall grass on the grassland. As soon as he entered the grass, a mighty howl came out, and the grass that was originally calm immediately became restless, and it seemed that the hundreds of silver wolves lurking in the grass were making moves, and all the silver wolves were roaring in a low voice.
"Is it really okay?" Although Lina was sarcastically sarcastic several times in a row, the commander understood that it was because he was not good enough, and what the other party said was indeed reasonable, so he did not hold a grudge, but asked this foreign powerhouse who had never seen it before: "Do you want support?"
Pannis was in no mood to answer, just shook his head casually, staring at the swaying grass with the same nervousness, the orcs couldn't see what was going on, but Pannis's keen senses allowed him to see everything. Vivien and Catherine were equally nervous, grabbing the hem of his shirt left and right, and Catherine even felt her palms sweat for fear of the Silver Wolves suddenly attacking Lina.
"Huh. Pannis burst out laughing, this chuckle seemed to others to be meaningless, but Catherine and Vivien let go of their hands at the same time, and the tension on their faces turned into lightness, Catherine lowered her voice and asked, "What do you see?" ”
"Do you want to tell Lina when Diana leaves?" asked Pannis, with a weird smile, "What about the story of a few silver wolves who flatteringly licked her fur almost all over her body?"
"Life is so precious, why don't you understand?" Catherine glared at Pannis with a headache: "I won't stop you if you want to find death, but it's best to arrange the aftermath first." But since you've suddenly become so idle, it seems that everything should be fine over there, except, of course, about licking your hair. ”
"Then everything is fine. "For the sake of his life, Pannis regrets the decision...... It's better to tell Lina this story. But before he could describe the story in his head, the wolf howl sounded again in the grass, and the silver shadow of the avatar reappeared under the wall, jumped up on all fours like a wolf, and returned to the crowd safely.
"Sure enough, it wasn't an invasion of the camp. Diana immediately said: "The children were migrating and wanted to find a new territory, and the day before yesterday they heard the cries of other silver wolves, and they followed them all the way and came directly here. Originally, they didn't want to come to the camp, but your stronghold, the big beasts within twenty or thirty kilometers of the vicinity were almost scared away, and they didn't find anything to eat nearby, so they came to try their luck, and if they had the chance, they would come in and eat, and if they didn't have the chance, they would evacuate in the middle of the night to forage elsewhere, after all, it was common to be hungry for a day or two. ”
"The other silver wolves are coming here?" the commander asked, puzzled, "but no one has found any other silver wolves around here?"
"Ha, ha, ha. "The people in the party looked up at the sky in unison, acting as if I didn't know anything, I was just looking at the stars.
"You don't have to worry about that. Diana made up solemnly: "The silver wolf has left. ”
"That's good. The commander was relieved, but immediately asked another question: "However, I have never heard of wolves migrating in the spring." ”
"That's the problem. Diana said with a strange expression: "The children's house is occupied, and the occupants are, according to them, a bunch of bones. (To be continued.) )
