429. Warrior Andrew
Surdak rushed to the eastern section of the city wall with the knights, and just saw a group of hell dogs climbing up to the city, several places on the city wall were captured by the hell dogs, the city head guards were defeated and retreated, many city head guards retreated to the arrow tower, and the captain of the guard was actively organizing a counterattack, and the hell dogs who attacked the city head fought fiercely.
All of a sudden, there was a tidal wave of shouts of killing in the city.
The rain of arrows fell on the city wall, and Viscount Emmett stood under the city, squinting at the hellhounds on the city wall, and waved his hand vigorously at the knights behind him, and the knights of the guard battalion divided into several battle squads and rushed up the city along the steps behind the city wall.
Surdak and Karl were at the front, followed by the knights of the supporting squadron, and such a fresh force rushed to the top of the city, which immediately boosted the morale of the city guards.
Several hellhounds jumped from the walls into the inner city, and were surrounded by the knights of the guard battalion who arrived behind.
Surdak raised the dwarven chain shield in his hand, rushed past Karl and rushed to the front, holding the craftsman's sword in his hand, ignoring the vicious dogs under the city, he took a few big steps and rushed to the city, and saw a group of guards who were being forced to retreat by the hellhounds not far away. Before he could rush up, he heard someone shouting not far away: "You want me to raise a son for you, go dream!" ”
“???”
Surdak had always wanted to say this to the dead man.
A pale blue aura of power appeared under Surdak's feet, and Karl immediately felt the source of power emerging from under his feet, instantly filling himself with strength.
'Aura of Strength'
As a knight, he naturally knew that the knight's aura was the sign of a knight in the middle of the first turn, but he had never comprehended any kind of aura after he stepped into the first turn, Karl watched Surdak rush to the city desperately, and hurriedly beckoned the various squad leaders behind him to quickly follow.
Seeing that the two city guards who said this had been pounced on the city wall by several hellhounds, Surdak ignored Karl's shouts behind him, and rushed to the city wall in a few arrows, he stepped over the guard warriors who were bitten by the hellhounds, and the craftsman's sword in his hand pierced directly into the jaws of the hellhounds, and the heavy long sword pierced through the skull, bursting out a tent of purple demonic blood.
The dwarven chain shield in his right hand smashed on the head of the hellhound next to him, and immediately smashed the hellhound into a 'whimper', and his dark body fell back into the canine.
Two bloodied city guards got up from the ground, supported each other and retreated, the dozen hellhounds on the city wall lowered the center of their bodies, stared at blood-red eyes, and let out a low roar at Surdak, followed by a dozen hellhounds pounced on Surdak at the same time.
At the same time as Surdak raised his shield, Karl led the knights to arrive, and the knights who rushed in front held the knight's light shield, forming a wall on the city wall, and Surdak was at the front, blocking the fierce pounce of the hell dogs, and then he held the craftsman's sword and slashed into the hell dogs.
The knights who fought alongside him found that standing by Surdak's side could actually feel their strength surge.
Originally, the knights who could barely block the bite of the hellhound, took a deep breath and strengthened themselves before raising the shield this time, and the hellhounds that pounced on them all of a sudden blocked the knight's light shield, and before the hellhounds counterattacked again, several spears stabbed out from behind the shield-wielding knight and stabbed heavily into the body of the hellhounds, even though the hellhounds had rough skin and thick flesh, but they were pierced by the sharp spears, and they would also poke out a bloody hole.
Only then did the shield-wielding knights realize that Surdak was actually stepping on a light blue halo under his feet, and everyone was almost standing side by side, and the city wall itself was only two meters wide, and in this narrow area, almost all the knights who formed the shield wall were shrouded in the 'aura of strength'.
Being able to block the attack of the hellhounds boosted the morale of the shield knights for a while, and the knights steadily moved forward, and the hellhounds on the city wall were constantly forced to retreat, and some of the hellhounds who had no time to retreat were directly picked off by the spears under the city.
Surdak held a chain shield in his hand, and the heavy craftsman's sword smashed on the Hellhound, smashing the Hellhound's wail, and also arousing the ferocity of the Hellhound, and the thick black claws scratched shallow marks on the knight's light shield.
As the knights of the Hylantha Guard Battalion reoccupied the city wall, the hellhounds that kept climbing up the city behind them were shot down by the heavy hammers or giant axes that came at the head of the city, and some of the hellhounds that rushed up to the city were immediately surrounded by the knights.
Surdak led a group of shield-wielding knights to the bottom of the arrow tower, and together with the guards at the head of the city below the arrow tower, he cut down all the hellhounds that rushed to the head of the city, and finally took this section of the wall back from the hellhounds.
……
Karl took the squadron of knights to quickly take over this section of the city defense, due to the addition of a new force, this time the city left dozens of corpses of hellhounds, but there were also dozens of guard battalion knights who were bitten by vicious dogs, and the city guards showed gratitude when they saw the knight reinforcements who rushed over.
Wearing black iron armor, Carl took more than a dozen squad leaders to patrol the city, as a large number of hellhounds gathered under the city, from a distance, the city became black and oppressive, and some city guards carried the captured hellhounds to the city, taking away their share of the spoils, and only then did they end the whole seven days and nights of guarding duty.
The guards dragged their tired bodies and helped each other down from the city, their waists were almost covered with the heads of hellhounds, and some people didn't even have the strength to walk back to the camp at all, so they simply found a secluded place not far from the city and lay down directly, closed their eyes and fell asleep.
The guards were almost covered in bruises, and I don't know how they survived these days.
The hellhounds here are not as fierce as those hellhounds who have been raised by the dark mages of the Dark Magic Hermitage in Highlandsa City, and they are suppressed by the power of the world laws of the Maca plane, which is weaker in terms of strength and speed than those hellhounds on the Roland Continent.
Surdak felt that the longer they remained on this plane, the more likely it was that their strength and speed would return to their original state.
When they die, the lava on their skin will slowly cool and turn into gray rock, and their dark skin is interspersed with broken rock fragments, which have no value at all.
The military exploits recorded by the Vorymala City Defense Headquarters are basically the completion of the tasks issued by the military headquarters and the number of heads of the hellhounds hunted, each of which is a military merit, Surdak looked at the mountains of hellhound corpses under the city, and thought: When the low-level hell demons attacked the city, the military merit was really worthless!
At this time, a knight of the guard battalion stood on the jogging platform of the city wall and shouted to Surdak: "Surdak, come here for a while......"
Beside him, a bloodied guard soldier was slowly walking down the city with a seriously wounded on his back, and seeing that they might fall headlong at any moment, the knight of the supporting squadron stopped them and took the initiative to ask Surdak for help.
Surdak was bandaging the wounds of a guard battalion at this time, so he could only smile apologetically at the knight and say, "I'm sorry, there is a seriously wounded man over there who seems to need me more, I'll help you later." ”
The knight sat down behind the battlements, nodded to Surdak, got up from the ground, and took up his weapon to join the defense.
The walls of the city are still full of hellhounds, probably the giant crossbow arrows on the head of the city are not enough, the bed crossbow shooting on the arrow tower has stopped, and the two sides enter a quiet period of recuperation.
"Okay, I'll do it!"
Surdak hurriedly raised his hand, signaling that he had heard the knight's call.
……
When Surdak saw Andrew, he was lying on the back of his companion and fell into a deep stupor, he was seriously injured, although he was wearing leather armor, but the leather armor easily penetrated by the sharp teeth of the vicious dog, almost biting his right arm. His leg was also badly torn, he was bleeding profusely, his face was frighteningly pale, and if it weren't for the faint breathing, he looked like a dead man at first glance.
This is a very strong man, if ordinary people shed so much blood, I am afraid that they would have been completely cold.
With a sad look on his face, his companion said to Surdak, who came by, "He is dying, and I will carry him back, and maybe I can die in him. Mommy's arms! ”
Surdak kept a straight face and did not speak, the warrior in front of him had brown skin, the cheekbones and eye sockets on his face were a little protruding, his nose was a little flat, and his thick lips were stained with blood, he was not from the Grimm Empire, not a mercenary recruited from elsewhere, or an indigenous warrior on the Maca plane, the muscles on his body looked very solid, and his body exuded an inexplicable strength, or it was this trace of strength that prevented him from taking his last breath.
Surdak recognized the warrior in front of him, the one who had entrusted his family to his companion, and he rubbed his forehead with some annoyance, and commanded the warrior in front of him:
"Put him down, maybe he will have a chance to live."
His companion's eyes lit up, and he looked at Surdak expectantly and asked, "Lord Knight, can you save him?" ”
Surdak glanced at his companion, saw that he was also seriously injured, and said, "It seems that you have a good relationship!" ”
The companion gently placed Andrew on the stone slab, looked up and said to Surdak, "We are all children of the god Pagorio, and he is also my best brother!" ”
This is a jogging platform for stepping the steps of the city, and there are knights passing by next to it, they are carrying supplies to the city wall, and the battle in the section of the city wall next to it has also calmed down, and the knights on the city head are still staring at the city with a nervous face, obviously those hellhounds have not withdrawn.
Surdak pulled out the blood-red crescent scimitar from his magic waist bag, and with a cloud of holy light condensed in the palm of his other hand, Surdak carefully poured the holy light into Andrew's body, activating the last bit of life force in his body.
In the faint light of the Holy Light, Andrew slowly opened his eyes, and he saw the Imperial Knight crouching in front of him.
"Warrior, what's your name?" Surdak asked.
"Andrew!" Andrew replied weakly.
Surdak held the blood-red crescent, a silver glow appeared on the blood-red crescent scimitar, the thin leather armor on Andrew's body was not much tougher than the rags under the sharp blade, cutting through the tattered leather armor, revealing the bloody arm inside, the saliva from the huge mouth of the hellhound was very corrosive, and some parts of Andrew's arm had been corroded to reveal the white bones.
Surdak said calmly to him: "Andrew, bear with it if it hurts, your wounds will heal soon, but you must not fall asleep now." ”
"Thank you, Knight." Andrew said weakly.
Surdak took the blood-red crescent scimitar with the Holy Radiance to scrape the rotten flesh on Andrew's arm at an extremely fast speed, and the power of the holy light contained in the scimitar was nourishing the new flesh on Andrew's arm at the same time, and Andrew finally understood what it was like to have pain when Surdak said, just like ten thousand ants devouring his heart.
He was in unbearable pain, his blood was surging, and he only felt that there was an unfamiliar force in his body that made him a little irrational, but the pain in his body was weakened a lot, Andrew's eyelids were so heavy that it was like a boulder pressing on them, which made him want to close his eyes and rest for a while.
However, with the last bit of faith in his heart, he tried to endure the pain and wait for Surdak to heal his wounds.
Surdak had actually been worried that in the process of treatment, the warrior would die because he couldn't bear the severe pain, but when he cut off all the rotten flesh and bandaged the wound again, he found that he was still lying there and holding on silently, as if he was not injured at all, and the whole treatment process actually did not make any painful sounds, this kind of strong and perverted endurance, even Surdak admired it.
Surdak once again injected a trace of holy light into Andrew's body, and Andrew only felt a warm power in his body, followed by a surging sleepiness like a tidal wave, and his eyes rolled upwards and fell into a deep sleep.
Looking at Andrew's thighs and chest and abdomen, Surdak frowned and said to his companions: "His injuries are only temporarily stabilized, I need a quiet room to treat other wounds......"
Before Surdak could finish his words, his companion immediately said, "I know ......"
Surdak made a simple stretcher out of two spears and a blanket, and the two carried Andrew down the tarzan platform of the steps of the wall.
Andrew's companion pushed open an arched warehouse door, and the two carried Andrew into an empty room, which was built under the city wall, and the room was filled with a faint smell of fire oil, and there were several empty oil drums on the ground, and a row of wooden boxes in the corner.
The room was clean and clean, and the companion said to Surdak, "It's here!" ”
Surdak made two wooden beds in the room out of a wooden box in the corner, made Andrew lie on one of the wooden beds, and said to Andrew's companion, "Stay outside, try not to disturb me!" ”
"Yes!" The warrior gave Surdak a military salute and walked out without hesitation.
The reason why Surdak wanted to find an ashram was to open the sacrificial altar, and he found that the combat power of the head of the hellhound was not much worse than that of the primary demonic beast, so he wanted to try to use the head of the hellhound as a sacrifice and sacrifice it to the demon god in exchange for the blessing of the 'blessed body', otherwise Andrew might not be able to survive the last hurdle.
For this indigenous warrior, Surdak has an inexplicable obsession in his heart.
