Chapter 7: The Witch Hunt (3)
Are there two more werewolves? The soldier's legs began to tremble. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Don't panic! Those two are the soldiers who were taken away just now!"
Humans who have been bitten by werewolves will become werewolves, this is something everyone knows, and Murak originally wanted the soldiers not to be nervous, but it turned out to be counterproductive. One white werewolf is enough for the soldiers to fear, and now there are two more, so can they still fight?
"Attention...... Top!" Mulak shouted again, only to see one white and two black, three werewolves rushing side by side towards the crowd!
This time, the shield wall failed to withstand the onslaught of the three werewolves. A gap was torn open in the shield array, and although the soldiers on both sides immediately filled it, after the werewolf retreated, a few soldiers were still captured!
The werewolves are fighting more and more, while the soldiers are fighting less and less. Murak ordered the adjutant general to immediately lead the soldiers to maintain the formation, slowly retreat to the open area outside the forest, and choose the opportunity to rearrange the formation. Then he said to the heroes around him: "The black werewolf has nothing to fear, as long as we defeat the white werewolf, we can win the battle." Do any of you want to go hunt the white werewolf with me?"
One of the heroes said, "Sheriff, let's go to the open field, we don't have an advantage in the dense forest." ”
Other heroes chimed in.
Murak shook his head and said, "In the dense forest, the soldiers can't give full play to the advantages of group combat, but we should have no problem facing a few werewolves." The soldiers went to the open field, and after establishing a defensive line, it was difficult for the werewolves to break through. As long as the soldiers can defend themselves and the number of werewolves does not increase, we can hunt them one by one. ”
There was a scream in the dense forest, and it must have been the retreating soldiers' formation that was disrupted by the werewolves, and several soldiers were brutally killed.
Mulak knew that as a commander-in-chief, his duty was to command, not to charge like an ordinary hero. If the retreating soldiers are not properly organized, let the werewolves take the opportunity to sneak attack, and they are afraid that there will be more werewolves to face, so they have no choice but to nod and say: "Okay, let's be on guard outside the team and cover the retreat of the soldiers first!"
The heroes, standing on the edge of the procession, armed with bows and arrows, slowly withdrew from the forest and occupied a small hill.
The hill is a meadow with only a few low bushes, and the view is very open. The soldiers reconstructed their lines on the hills, with rows of shieldmen in the outermost layer, crossbowmen, archers, and javelin throwers in the middle, while Murak and the heroes were at the forefront of the line.
The wolves howled continuously in the dense forest, and more than a dozen werewolves jumped out of the dense forest and surrounded the foot of the mountain. It was easy for Mulak to suppress the urge to step forward and fight, and he raised his long sword and commanded: "Steady...... Steady...... Shoot!"
Javelins and crossbow arrows rained down on the werewolves who pounced on them, and in an instant, two werewolves were shot or shot. The heroes standing in front of the group rushed forward, quickly killing the two werewolves, and then cutting off the werewolf's head and holding it high above their heads. Seeing this, the soldiers raised their arms and shouted, and their morale was greatly boosted!
The werewolves were blocked for the first time, and they lingered in the distance, no longer daring to rush forward.
Mulak saw that his defense was solid, and he could no longer stand. He turned to his adjutant and said, "You command the battle like this, don't give up the defensive line, let alone lead your troops to attack!" Then he waved his sword and shouted: "Heroes, follow me to kill the white werewolf!"
Seven or eight heroes followed Murak and rushed down the hill. The werewolves rushed towards the squad. But these people are not ordinary soldiers, but powerful heroes, in the chaos of swords, not only did they kill several werewolves, but even the white werewolves were slashed by Murak. The white werewolf howled and hid in the dense forest with the rest of the werewolves.
Murak shouted to the heroes: "Look, the white werewolf will bleed too!
The three witches were in the cellar and at first heard more and more werewolves, knowing that Steig had the upper hand. But the further back he went, the werewolf's howl became less and less, and he gradually began to worry.
I didn't expect Steig to be so big, to believe in his own abilities too much, and to underestimate the enemy.
Maybe the reason he didn't let Tiva and the others interfere was because he was afraid that he would lose his nature and hurt them by mistake.
Stig really didn't take these people seriously at first. Werewolves themselves are a terrible plague, and every time a soldier is bitten, a werewolf is added, and if this plague spreads, the power is very terrible. At first, his plan did work, not only eliminating a dozen soldiers, but also adding a dozen werewolves himself. It's just that he didn't expect that Murak's mind was very calm, and he was good at commanding the battle, and from beginning to end, the soldiers maintained the basic formation and did not flee in all directions in a panic, so that he could not find every opportunity to break through, and the werewolves fought less and less.
"We can't hide here, Stig is still fighting outside! ”
An Jie'er said: "What if he doesn't recognize us and attacks us?"
Tiva said, "I can't care so much, I hope he can recognize us!"
Waitis nodded and said, "Let's fight! If we really can't beat it, we'll use summoning!"
The three of them got out of the cellar, and a wolf howled in the dense forest, only to see a white werewolf scurrying from the dense forest and squatting in front of them.
Tiva couldn't help but cry: "You ...... You're Steg, oh my God, you're hurt!"
In the shoulder blade of the white werewolf, there was a long wound, and blood was oozing from it. The white werewolf looked at the crowd, howled, and ran into the dense forest behind the house.
"It knows us!!" Tiva shouted, but heard several sharp cracks in the air, and the three of them dodged sideways, several arrows nailed to the walls of the cabin.
"Witches, lay down your weapons and follow me back to Baulston!" Murak commanded loudly as he gathered around the hut with a few heroes.
"Mulak, as a sheriff, you've solved many difficult cases in the town, but don't you think there's too much mystery about what happened in the grove? If we really sacrificed the lives of babies, why don't we destroy the evidence? Isn't this deliberately leaving you with clues?"
"The facts are clear, after you took away the baby of the orchard owner, the four of you sacrificed in the grove on the night of the full moon, and there was still a lot of blood left on the scene. The next morning, you were afraid that the matter would be revealed, and you were ready to abscond in fear of sin. It's just that you didn't expect me to move so fast!"
"Four of us, you've seen all of us along the way, and it's only the three of us all the time!"
"I just wanted to ask you, where is Mellind now?"
"Mellinder has been out to practice for many days, and she didn't return to the town yesterday, you just need to ask the guards, don't you know?"
After being forced back to town by a poison fly on the stone bridge, Murak saw that there were only three witches, and suspected that the other person was McLind, so he questioned the guards and confirmed that she had not returned.
Who was the other one? Did the witches have other accomplices?
"You must go back with me! In the Heroes Guild, I promised my mentor with my honor that as long as you cooperate with the investigation, I will never embarrass you. ”
"All I can tell you is that we worshipped the moon god, but there was absolutely no sacrifice. We have nothing to do with the disappearance of the baby, someone must have framed us. Murak, you are a man of integrity, you cherish honor, and we cherish honor in the same way. Can you guarantee our safety when we go back with you? Do you think Madame Grey will let us go? It is better to die on the battlefield with dignity than to be wronged and executed in confusion!"
"It seems that you will not go back. Alright, let's get ready for a fight!" Murak drew his sword and pressed forward with a few heroes.
The witches began to chant incantations.
"Attack! Don't give them a chance to chant spells!"
Nearly ten heroes besieged the witches, and the witches' spells were interrupted after only half of their recitation, and they immediately fell into a disadvantage, stumbling left and right, and danger abounded.
Suddenly, from the back of the heroes, cold arrows were shot non-stop. The heroes were caught off guard, several people had been hit by arrows one after another, and there were continuous lightning strikes in the crowd.
The heroes were so attacked that they had to split up half of their men to deal with the sneak attackers. The witches were relieved of the pressure, fought and left, and finally managed to escape.
Several heroes were wounded by arrows, gritted their teeth and pulled out arrows, each healing his wounds.
Murak was furious! he finally defeated the white werewolves, and was about to take down the three witches, but was disrupted by the sneak attackers. Unwilling, he ordered the heroes to retreat to the hill first to join the soldiers, and continue to follow the werewolf's blood.
Gu Shiyu and Youlande succeeded in the sneak attack, and immediately fled from the battlefield far away before stopping to rest.
Youlande gave Gu Shiyu a thumbs up in admiration and said, "It seems that you are right." If it were up to me, I would definitely choose to follow the forces of the Great Thunder to the West. ”
Gu Shiyu was actually because the giant thunder was too powerful, and he didn't dare to rescue the witch in the hands of the giant thunder, and it was impossible to rescue him from him. Persimmon looked for a soft pinch, so he found the relatively weak Murak to follow, but unexpectedly stumbled into it, just in time to save the witches. Even so, he still said proudly: "I think the giant thunder is just like you, but he is just a reckless man! Westward is the route that everyone can think of, and if the witches choose to go west, they will definitely not be able to get rid of the giant thunder." Only by going north to the mountains can there be a chance of escape. In a war, you have to think from the enemy's standpoint, so that you can anticipate the enemy's opportunity, and you can't just follow your own feelings. ”
Yolande nodded and said, "Murak is also powerful enough! Not only can he think of the escape routes of the witches, but he is also good at tracking, and he is really an excellent hunter." ”
"I think it's not bad for him to command the battle!" Gu Shiyu praised.
Yolande nodded, "It's okay, it's just a little worse than me." ”
"You just blow it!By the way, you didn't shoot anyone with my Phantom Divine Bow, did you?"
"You think heroes are so easy to shoot to death? "Yolande doesn't bother to care about their lives or deaths.
"It's hard to say! Let's just talk about the black dragon, if it doesn't hit the vital point, it will be difficult to hurt it with dozens of arrows! If it hits the vital point, one arrow can solve the problem. People are much more fragile than black dragons!"
Yolande rolled his eyes and said, "Do you think I'm going to shoot them?"
"Well, it's good that there aren't dead people! I laughed to death when I saw Murak go crazy after being attacked. Those human heroes he brought with him shouldn't be Catherine's people, right?"
"Catherine's people are in your company, and that's Roland's people. ”
Gu Shiyu was a little gloating when he heard that he had beaten Roland, and said with a smile: "Well, that's good, we beat Roland's people today, don't say it." ”
Yolande glared and said, "Are you stupid for me?"
"We don't have to look for it, just follow Murak, if Murak doesn't find it, they will be safe, if they find it, we will attack again!"
