Chapter 695: Beast Night Attack

When Solandale chatted with Joshua before, her attention didn't drop.

Before the team was stationed, she left observation posts along the way, and those sentinels hid high in the mountains, and once they sensed the movement of the remnants of the Six Kings, they would immediately use fire as a source to convey a signal to the station.

During this period of rest, the northern region was dark and silent, and there was no signal from the observation post, which meant that there were no enemies approaching, and the camp was safe, so Solandale was more relaxed.

When Solandel walked up to the sleeping Garrot, she noticed that he had an uncovered blanket and one hand was exposed, so she crouched down and prepared to stuff his hand into the blanket.

But who knows, as soon as Solandel touched Garrot's hand, he suddenly breathed and opened his eyes suddenly, and those sharp pupils stared at the darkness ahead like a wolf.

Solandale thought that Garrot was too tired from the fierce battle during the day, and his spirit was tense and a little stressed, so he comforted: "It's okay, it's me, I saw that your hands were outside, so I pulled the blanket, you can continue to sleep." ”

Still staring at the darkness, Garrot asked in a deep voice, "How's the observation post?" ”

Solandale followed his line of sight and replied, "There are no warning signs, everything is normal." ”

At this moment, a cold night breeze blew, bringing a biting chill.

"Hiss-sss ”

The soldiers woke up one after another, sleepy-eyed and muttering some complaining words.

These people have just fallen asleep for a long time, fatigue is like this, when people are very sleepy, they can stand up for a long time, but if they fall asleep upside down, and they don't sleep for long and are woken up, they will feel tired, and it is better not to sleep.

Garrot saw the soldiers open their heads one by one, and they were still a little rubbing, and kicked directly to the ass of the person closest to him: "Hurry up!" ”

Solandale noticed that Garrot's reaction was a little abnormal, and she didn't dare to be careless, so she hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Garrot looked north into the wind, his nose twitching, as if he was sniffing something, and said solemnly, "Something is not right... The wind smells of wild beasts..."

"Beasts?" One soldier packed his bags and muttered, "I guess it's the animals that live nearby, these beasts are afraid of fire, and there are many of us, so they don't dare to approach." ”

"Roar!! Without warning, a deafening roar rang out from the darkness, and a huge shadow swept past the soldier, flickering fangs piercing through his body, and the sound of flesh tearing and bones shattering was incessant.

In the midst of the terrible screams, the soldiers were dragged into the darkness by the shadows, and the cries for help grew farther and farther away, and finally came to an abrupt end, leaving only a deathly silence.

Before everyone could react, another huge shadow rushed out of the darkness and rushed towards Solandale.

Garrot had already raised his guard the moment he woke up, and his reaction was also very fast, he immediately protected Solandelle behind him, and the greatsword slashed out from the bottom up.

Grain

However, the incoming shadow had a sensitivity that did not match the size of its body, and it dodged its blade with a flip back and leaped to the side, letting out a dull roar.

The torch was lit, and everyone finally saw the true face of the giant shadow.

It was a huge beast, with a streamlined body like a feline, nearly two meters high at the shoulders, with strong limbs with well-defined muscles, and canine teeth in its mouth like two inverted swords, reflecting bloodthirsty and cold in the firelight, which was extremely terrifying.

Veterans who had served in the frozen fortress for many years quickly recognized that this was the saber-toothed tiger, a fierce beast living in the Arctic Ice Field, a predatory animal with a strong physique, quick movement, and strong hunting ability, and that pair of sword-like canines could penetrate the skin of any creature except the ancient dragon, and if three or five saber-toothed tigers gathered together, even the land overlord Earth Walking Dragon would have to be avoided.

Among the tribes of the remnants of the Six Kings, especially those who directly use the saber-toothed tiger as their totem, they have great respect for the saber-toothed tiger, and the most powerful tribal warriors have special rituals, they will go alone to the snowy forest to challenge the saber-toothed tiger, and tame them as the highest honor.

These warriors are often the best of their natural powers, and they have been trained as elites since they were young, and they will also add natural treasures that can stimulate physical strength in their diets, and Rao is like this, and the survival rate of their saber-toothed tigers is still not one in ten.

Those who are strong enough to successfully tame the saber-toothed tiger will be revered by the members of the tribe and will be trained to become the most elite class of troops in the future, the saber-toothed tiger cavalry.

The saber-toothed tiger cavalry has both a physique beyond mortals and a fighting against beasts, both in terms of the strength of the frontal charge and the mobility of the mountains, all of which are not comparable to the infantry.

At this time, the saber-toothed tiger in front of Garrot was not wild, and on its back was a tall tribal warrior, none other than Apollo, the younger brother of Jupiter, the lord of the Northern Regions, known as the "No. 1 Master of the Snow Field".

Apollo held the leash in his left hand, carried a heavy broadsword in his right hand, and hung several human heads from his waist, the blood on the human heads had been frozen in the cold current, but they could still be identified from the details of their faces, they were all observation posts that Solandel had set up earlier.

Saber-toothed tigers are snowy creatures that walk on glaciers, and they have very soft pads on the soles of their feet, making them almost silent when running.

Those observation posts were apparently under silent surprise attack by the saber-toothed tiger cavalry while on alert, and before they could even give the signal to meet the enemy, their heads had already landed.

Seeing the heads of those observation posts, Solandale's heart seemed to have fallen into an ice cellar, and the observation posts did not send a signal until they died, which meant that the silence before did not mean safety at all, and during the time when everyone was stationed and repairing, the enemy was most likely taking advantage of the night to approach on a large scale.

Sure enough, Solandale's bad premonition became a reality, and more and more saber-toothed tiger cavalry rushed out of the darkness amid the fierce tiger roar.

The remnants of the frozen fortress were defenseless, and the enemy's impact was tantamount to a tiger entering a flock, setting off a wave of blood in the blink of an eye, and many soldiers had already been bitten in the head before they could even see anyone clearly.

In the midst of the panic, in the face of the cavalry night attack, the battle-hardened Garrot was much more experienced, and he shouted: "Take out the fuel and light the fire!" ”

The soldiers had a lot of oil bottles in their bags for making fires, and they quickly understood what Garrot meant, and poured oil directly on the combustibles such as tents, sleeping bags, and firewood, and then the fire broke a little, and a rising flame rose.

Although the saber-toothed tiger is an extremely domineering predatory animal, it is also a beast no matter how it is, and there is still an instinct to fear flames in its nature, and at this time, a monstrous fire rises around them, and they suddenly let out a violent hiss, curled up and retreated.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, everyone didn't even care about packing and hurriedly fled to the rear.

However, how long those flames will hold back the saber-toothed tiger cavalry, no one knows...
