439. Battle in the Jungle

Fifteen hundred knights of the guard battalion descended into the dense forest, led by three local guides who knew the area, and headed along a mountain road in the jungle towards the town of Umezu, thirty kilometers away.

The town of Umezu was attacked by a large number of hellhounds as early as half a month ago, and only a small number of residents managed to escape to the city of Wožmara under the protection of the private forces of the local nobles.

The forest is densely vegetated, countless vines are hung with branches, the damp woodland is covered with moss, and everywhere there is a layer of green ground, wet and slippery.

The knights of the Plains Guard Battalion, who were at the forefront, followed behind the guides, and kept widening the forest road with machetes.

There are traces of some hellhounds everywhere in the jungle, these hellhounds are not afraid of human knights, when they find that the guard battalion knight brigade is passing in the jungle, they will immediately flee from the depths of the forest, of course, these hell dogs will not go too far, they find that these guard battalion knights will not catch up, and they are following all the way behind the guard battalion knights, these hell dogs from the very beginning, soon developed to dozens of ......

As more and more hellhounds gathered at the back of the group, the hellhounds were no longer afraid of the knights of the guard battalion.

They began to try to harass the knights of the Constantinople guard battalion from behind, and as soon as the knights of Constantinople stopped and raised their shields to attack, the nearly 100 hellhounds following behind the knights would quickly burrow into the jungle and disappear in the blink of an eye.

In order to be able to pass through this jungle as soon as possible and reach the intended destination, the three commanders asked the knights of the guard battalion to keep moving at a high speed, and after discussing on the way, they decided to transfer nearly fifty constructed knights from the three guard battalions of Prex, Highlandza, and Constantinople, and let the constructed knights gather at the back of the team and wait for the opportunity to deal with the group of hellhounds following the team in one fell swoop.

Surdak was also chosen by Viscount Emmett to join the team of Constructed Knights.

……

With his back against the damp towering trees, Surdak held his breath and fixed his eyes on the bushes in front of him.

The moss on the bark of the tree exudes a faint fishy smell, and the moss is covered with a layer of yellow flowers the size of rice grains, withering and blooming, like fine yellow spots on the moss, which contains this rich oil, which can be burned to repel mosquitoes when dried.

Fifty knights in costume were scattered in the dense forest, waiting for the hellhounds behind them to touch them.

Surdak felt that hunting Hellhounds didn't need to be so bloody, although the Craftsman's Sword was a kind of heavy sword, the body of the sword was heavy enough, and even the hardest bones would be broken if it smashed on the body of Hellhound, but it was not sharp enough, and it was difficult to kill the Hellhound with one blow unless it hit the head of the Vicious Dog.

He inserted the Craftsman's Sword into its scabbard and pulled an even sharper blood-red crescent from his magic belt, as long as the blade was not infused with the power of holy light, the wound cut by the knife would not have a strong healing effect.

The knight in costume beside him looked at the blood-red crescent in Surdak's hand with some envy.

Surdak smiled politely at him.

At this time, the bushes in front of the two suddenly trembled, and a huge hellhound with stumps and dead leaves on its head suddenly drilled out of the bushes, but when it noticed the towering tree in front of it, its pupils full of turbid purple veins contracted suddenly, and for a moment it suddenly felt the aura of danger, and immediately fled to the dense grass next to it.

The huge body suddenly changed direction, its front and hind paws shrunk together, splashing a pile of dirt on the ground, and before its body could escape, the hellhound behind it had already rushed out, and the two hellhounds almost collided together.

The body of the knight in the costume next to him reacted as fast as a cheetah, only to see the phantom of a war lord suddenly appear behind him, and the phantom disappeared in a flash.

He leaned half out from behind the tree, stabbed out from behind the tree with a spear in his hand, and pierced through a hellhound with unmistakable accuracy, and the hellhound was firmly nailed to the ground, and the constructed knight did not hesitate to stride forward, slamming his fist into the jaw of another hellhound that had pounced on him.

He then took the opportunity to pull out the spear that had been stuck in the ground again, and the hellhound was pierced in the abdomen by a shot, but did not die immediately, and lay on the ground and bit the knight in disguise. leg, the knight in uniform picked up the large iron spear in his hand, and the heavy black iron spear head was whipped on the head of the hellhound, and suddenly there was a 'pop' and a bone-shattering sound.

The constructed knights who can be sent into the ambush team are obviously the elite of the three guard battalions.

At the same time, similar battles broke out elsewhere in this forest.

There were hundreds of hellhounds in the woodland, but there were only nearly twenty constructed knights in front of them, and the other thirty constructed knights outflanked them from both wings, forming a left-right attack on these hellhounds.

Surdak also followed behind the knight with the gun, with a light blue 'aura of power' at his feet, and saw the three hellhounds pounce out of the grass, without hesitation, he rushed forward with the dwarf chain shield, waved the shield in his hand, and smashed it accurately on the open bloody mouth of a hellhound, and the blood-red crescent moon in his hand stabbed out diagonally from below, piercing into the heart along the gap between the neck of the hellhound, and the hellhound let out a miserable wail, rolled on the ground and died in convulsions.

Seeing the two hellhounds pounce on him, one silently biting into Surdak's lower abdomen, and the other hellhound had already put its paws on his shoulders and opened its mouth to bite down on his throat.

He shifted half a step to the right, using the dwarven chain shield in his hand to block the hellhound that was biting at his throat, and the canine teeth gnawed at the sturdy shield, bursting with a handful of sparks and emitting a screeching sound.

His body twisted half a circle in the air in an incredible posture, and his right knee was raised suddenly, slamming heavily into the jaw of another hellhound that attacked his lower abdomen, the 'Earth Shield' Demon Pattern Constructed Armor was originally a full-covered constructed armor, with iron thorns that were not prominent at each joint, almost at the moment when the hellhound's jaw was installed, the head of this hellhound snapped upwards violently, and the sound of the neck bone shattering was clearly heard.

Holding the blood-red crescent in his backhand, Surdak slashed the head of the hellhound that had bitten him by the throat with a single sword.

The series of moves was almost seamless, and by the time Surdak regained his footing, the three hellhounds had fallen to the ground.

The knight beside him, who had always envied the blood-red crescent moon in his hand, gave him a thumbs up, and the two of them quickly killed five hellhounds for the first time, and then covered each other and rushed to another bush, where a dozen hellhounds surrounded the three knights, and the fight was inextricable for a while.

Whether it is strength or speed, the Constructed Knights have a great advantage in the face of these Hellhounds, and the Devil's Pattern Construct itself is strong enough, even if several Hellhounds besiege a Constructed Knight at the same time, it will be difficult to show their defeat for a while.

The knights in the guard camp are also extremely experienced in combat, and when they fight, they always like to appear behind them at the moment of the outburst, so as to enhance the explosive power of the attack, and this kind of combat skill greatly increases the use of the "potential".

And among this group of knights of the guard battalion, Surdak is not the only one who has the aura of knights, among them, there is a knight who is at the peak of the turn with a 'defensive halo' under his feet, obviously wearing a set of leather armor and demon pattern uniform, and the hell dogs around him can't bite through the armor on his body.

As soon as the battle broke out, the hellhounds were defeated.

Only a dozen hellhounds escaped from the flanking attack of a group of knights, leaving the corpses of hellhounds scattered throughout the woodland, and only a few knights were slightly injured in the battle.

Surdak is not only somewhat famous in the Hylanza Guard Battalion, but the continuous treatment of the injured city guards in the past few days has spread in the ears of the knights of the guard battalion.

At this time, of course, he couldn't hide behind people, so he simply stood up and quickly treated the wounds of the injured constructed knight.

The saliva of the hellhound contains some extremely corrosive toxins, and the wound bitten by the hellhound is difficult to heal on its own, and only the toxins of the wound can be dealt with, so Surdak Surdak held the blood-red crescent moon in his hand, and the holy light emitted a layer of silver light through the scimitar, and Surdak skillfully scraped off the carrion of the wound, and then bandaged it with a hemostatic bandage.

I didn't see him use the Holy Light to heal, but I saw that the wounds of the injured Constructed Knights had healed quickly.

……

When the assembled knights of Surdak's ambush team caught up with the large force in front, they found that the three guard battalion teams were surrounded by a large group of hellhounds in a glade.

A group of knights in full covered heavy armor formed a simple shield wall with knightly light shields in the outer circle, and the other guards battalion knights relied on this shield wall to start a melee with hundreds of hellhounds in front of them, and the surrounding dense forests continued to emerge from hellhounds and join the battle.

The knights of the guard battalion are well-equipped, and they are not too afraid of these hellhounds when they form a defensive formation, but some knights are still constantly injured in the melee.

Even some knights carelessly were bitten by several hellhounds at the same time, and it won't take long to be completely torn apart by the vicious dogs dragged into the dog group, these hellhounds are extremely fierce, they are almost not too afraid of the sword and shield in the hands of knights, all the bites are a lose-lose style, and they want to bite the knights when they are stabbed through by the sword.

This kind of battle is extremely tragic, if it weren't for the shield wall composed of light shields, and a few captain-level constructed knights would always appear in time to relieve the knights in crisis, I am afraid that the casualties in this battle would have increased exponentially.

Carl was left in the brigade by Viscount Emmett, and at this time, he was fighting two hellhounds in front of a group of knights with the magic pattern on his body.

Standing side by side with Carl with an axe in hand, the indigenous warrior Andrew fought against the hellhounds rushing from the front, and the outline of a ferocious wolf emerged behind him, and the native warrior turned on his 'momentum' and raised his power to the limit.

By the time the fifty costumed knights of the ambush team returned, the situation on the battlefield was instantly reversed.

These knights are all commanders at the level of captains of various guard battalions, and when they see the brigade besieged by vicious dogs, they no longer retain their strength like when they are in ambush battles, and they have shown their 'potential', these 'potentials' appear to be varied, although most of them are knight phantoms holding swords and shields and riding on horses, and some are swordsmen holding big swords in both hands, but the most striking is the chest of both hands. The phantom of the angel in front of him, and simply a sword or a shield.

There were at least a dozen constructed knights with knightly auras, and Surdak only felt that his body was affected by these auras, and his strength and speed were instantly increased, and a group of constructed knights appeared, which immediately turned the tide of the battle quickly.

The large force of the guard battalion also sounded the horn of counterattack in an instant......

Surdak rushed to Karl's side almost immediately, and the blood-red crescent in his hand pierced the two hellhounds that bit Karl's shield at the same time, and the dwarf chain shield in the other hand was thrown out and smashed on the hellhound in front of the indigenous warrior Andrew, and the heavy shield suddenly made the hellhound waist short, and half of his body almost lay on the ground.

Andrew, an indigenous warrior with a lot of combat experience, certainly didn't miss this opportunity, and the giant axe in his hand slashed down, cutting off the head of the hellhound.

A Hellhound, almost half a year larger than the other Cerberus, slammed into front of Surdak, its back covered with a hard, exaggerated mane, and its body was not bare with magma veins, but a layer of shiny black fur with a shiny sheen, and a pair of eyes full of purple. Demon pattern, that head is actually bigger than the head of a one-horned bison.

The giant hellhound, which probably weighed at least a thousand pounds, spewed hot fire from its throat, and its massive head bit straight into Surdak's head.

Surdak didn't have time to withdraw the dwarven chain shield thrown out, so he could only release his 'momentum' as soon as possible, and then a two-faced and four-armed demon god phantom appeared behind him, and the face of the demon god phantom god flashing with a faint holy light quickly stretched out his two hands, making a virtual hug movement, and protected Surdak in the middle.

The mouth of the giant hellhound seemed to hit the invisible air wall, at this moment Surdak's body was violently shaken, and the golden phantom of the two-faced four-armed demon god behind him shattered into pieces like porcelain, seeing the head of the giant vicious dog infinitely enlarged in front of Surdak's eyes, Andrew's roar came from the opposite side, and several feathered arrows shot into the eye sockets of the giant vicious dog at the same time.

He only felt that the demonic pattern structure on his body bloomed into an earthy yellow six-pointed star array, and an earthy yellow shield appeared in front of him, and the head of the giant vicious dog immediately hit it, and the earth shield exploded into countless rubble, flying in all directions......

Surdak raised the blood-red crescent moon in his hand and stabbed out at the head of the giant hellhound, and the blood-red scimitar stabbed along the mouth of the giant hellhound, peeking through the back of the hellhound's head.
