The small town of Umezu at night.

As the knights of the guard battalion quickly captured the streets and alleys of Umezu Town, the longbow regiment gradually occupied the commanding heights of the town, forming a distant fire coverage of all areas of the town, and most of the town was controlled by the Marquis of Luthor.

The knights of the guard battalion played no small role in this night battle.

No other legion is as familiar with street fighting as the knights in the guard barracks, and can so skillfully chase and intercept these fleeing hellhounds in the streets and alleys, at first, these hellhounds are still fighting to the death with the knights of the guard camp, but when several fierce roars are heard in the direction of the temple, the last remaining hellhounds in the town quickly crumble in their will to fight.

A series of fires erupted in the night sky in the direction of the temple, and it was the magician team riding the magic handle, supporting the Constructed Knights.

Mages can't concentrate on chanting spells in the air, so almost all of their magic is cast on expensive magic scrolls, and they don't waste the magic scrolls they carry with them unless they have to, after all, no one knows how long the battle will last.

Everywhere in the town, you can hear the cheers of the giant hellhounds besieging them.

The giant hellhound has been out of the category of low-level hell beasts, not only has a precious fur, but also may contain this magic core in the skull, not only can obtain the merits of the army, but also can pocket valuable fur and magic core, which is an unstoppable temptation for any combat team. Confused, there are even some battle squads fighting for hellhounds in the town.

……

Surdak led the knights of the supporting squadron through the small town of Umezu, and soon found the hiding place of the boy Buta, and when the knights raised their torches to the vent outside the basement, the brave boy Buta just shrank inside the vent, trembling to investigate the situation outside.

The corpse of a hellhound fell in front of Buta with a 'poof', and he quickly retracted his head in fright.

Then he saw a big foot 'bang' on the body of the hellhound burning with lava on its skin, and a big hand with thick skin quickly grabbed the head of the hellhound, and with a 'click', the head of the vicious dog was twisted off by force, and the purple viscous blood splashed on Buta's face.

The boy looked at the ogre in front of him, whose calf was thicker than his, and was speechless in horror for a while.

It wasn't until Surdak's figure appeared in the boy's sight that the boy slowly recovered from his panic.

The nightmarish days of more than a month have made him experience some reborn transformations, although there is some fear in his eyes, but he is not one of those civilians who only knows to wait for death with his eyes closed, he even thought of several plans the moment the corpse of the hellhounds fell to the ground.

He is bold and careful, physically flexible, and level-headed, and perhaps in the near future, there will be an amazing warrior in the maca plane.

The knights of the support squadron had no intention of staying here to rescue the townsfolk trapped in the basement. The town is not yet fully controlled by the Bednars, and there are still a large number of hellhounds in the city that need to be cleaned up by the Guards Battalion Knights. Clearing the town of Cerberus is the first task of the Reinforcement Squadron.

Surdak told Buta that they could save themselves first, and if they couldn't get out of the basement, the guard battalion would have to wait until the battle was over before the battalion could pull out their manpower.

The boy Buta nodded heavily, and the little figure 'swished' back into the vent, and disappeared in an instant.

Karl on the side didn't understand why Surdak was leading everyone through most of the town and rushing here with a support squadron, was it just to tell the boy in front of him that the Bednar army had invaded the town of Umezu and asked the surviving townspeople to save themselves? The answer is undoubtedly no. If that's all there is to it, it obviously doesn't have to go through a lot of trouble.

Buta disappeared from the vents in the basement, and Surdak did not let Karl leave with the battle squad, but waited a little.

The night shrouded the town of Umezu, and the shouts of the warriors were heard all around, and from time to time there were fires rising from all over the town, and some hellhounds fled everywhere in the town, and as the longbowmen gradually occupied the town of Umezu, there were fewer and fewer places for the hellhounds to escape.

After only a short wait, Buta's figure re-emerged from the vent.

He blinked his big bright eyes, looked at the knight in the courtyard, bravely crawled out of the ventilation opening, came to Surdak's side, stood up straight, his short and slender body, and said bravely: "Lord Knight, I want to fight with you!" ”

Looking at the little guy in front of him whose clothes were worn out by the passage, Surdak smiled and touched the soft curls on the top of his head and said, "Okay! If you're not afraid of death, I promise you. ”

He puffed up his emaciated chest and said very seriously: "I'm not afraid of death, my mother was bitten and dragged away by these guys, and my father died in front of us in order to push me and my sister into the sewer, I want to avenge them with my own hands!" ”

Surdak glanced at the dark residential area ahead, where the alleys were so dense that even in the daytime, combat teams could get lost if they walked in. Surdak asked the boy Buta, "I want to hunt down the giant hellhounds hiding in this town, Buta, can you help us!" ”

Buta clenched his fists and confidently said to Surdak: "Of course, no one knows their hiding place better than I do!" ”

"Alright, Buta, then you will be responsible for leading the way in front, and Samira will be in charge of guarding!" Surdak said to the boy Buta.

……

Carl and the battle team didn't quite understand why Surdak did this at first, but after Buta joined the battle team, he directly replaced the half-elf archers and became the guide of the battle team in the town of Umezu, and began to carry out a highly targeted hunt against the giant hellhounds hiding in the town.

The battle team crossed a courtyard, stepped over a stone arch, and then walked from a front alley to a back alley filled with a foul smell.

Buta cautiously pointed to the distance in front of him against the wall, and said to Surdak: "There is a big guy lurking in the depths of the alley at the left turn in front, be careful, we can just turn a corner from here and walk over, but this alley is very narrow, and only three or four people can fight the big guy head-on......"

Surdak stepped on the alley full of garbage, carefully observed the surrounding terrain, and asked Buta, "Buta, is there a way to go around from behind and let our knights intercept it from behind?" ”

He was worried that the giant hellhound would choose to run away when he saw the battle team.

Buta covered his mouth with his hand and explained to Surdak: "At the other end of this alley is a dead end, there was originally a butcher's shop in it, so it will always be entrenched in this neighborhood, I have a way to take you from the side, the roof in this vicinity is not very high, from here you can go up to the second floor terrace of this house directly to the roof next door." ”

He pointed to a nearby safety ladder.

Surdak commanded the ogre, who had squeezed out of the narrow door with the cat's waist bent, "Glitham, you will walk in from the front, and if you meet the giant hellhound, you are welcome, and give me a beating of it." ”

When the ogre heard that he didn't need to continue drilling into the low doorway, he immediately came to his senses, raised the big wooden stick in his hand, and snorted heavily.

Surdak then said to Carl and several squadron leaders, "Carl, you take some of your men through the roof on the left side of this alley, and Andrew follows Carl. ”

Although Karl expressed his dissatisfaction with Surdak many times in private for taking away his leadership without permission, he had no opinion on Surdak's deployment, and quickly led ten knights to the terrace from the safety ladder over there.

Surdak instructed the last remaining knights: "I and the others will ascend to the roof from the right, and you will follow ......me, Samira."

A group of people quickly split into three groups and disappeared into the night of the alley.

Not long after, a giant hellhound with black fur was smashed open on its head, and I don't know how badly it was hit, it always shook its head from time to time, its huge body 'swished' up the wall, and its claws scratched a few pieces of rubble on the wall, but before it could stand firm on the wall and stick its head on the roof, it met the team led by Carl.

The ogre's big wooden stick had been smashed from behind, and the giant dog could only run to the roof, Carl stood on the roof and drew his knight's sword and stabbed it into the mandible, Andrew followed behind Carl, carrying a big axe and smashing it into the giant dog's bloody mouth, the giant dog did not dare to bite Carl again, so that Carl cut a wound on his neck, and then went back to the alley in embarrassment.

The giant hellhound did not want to face the ogre chasing from behind, and the moment its body landed in the alley, it bounced up again, and its claws scratched a few deep claw marks on the stone wall, and its body climbed against the opposite wall, this time it ran towards the roof, ready to escape through the roof.

It was only after the giant dog had fully climbed onto the roof that he noticed a team of knights standing on the ridge.

Holding the dwarven chain shield, Surdak didn't give the giant dog any respite at all, and the shield that burst out with a layer of silver light instantly hit the giant dog.

With a "bang", the giant dog fell from the roof.

In mid-air, he was hit by an ogre wielding a large wooden stick.

The body flew out more than ten meters away, and smashed on the wall at the end of the alley with a bang, smashing a big hole in the wall, and the collapsed stones almost buried most of the giant dog's body, and the ogre strode in front of the ruins, stepping on the stomach of the dying giant dog, and smashing the giant dog with a stick to break its last breath.

……

With little effort, six giant hellhounds were dealt with one after another, including countless ordinary hellhounds.

However, after successively emptying the hiding places of four giant hellhounds, most of the area of Umezu Town has been captured by the Bena army, and the giant dogs that usually hide in the town have also been dispatched to participate in the battle.

At this time, most of them were hunted by other combat teams.

Unable to find more giant dogs, Buta looked a little uneasy in the next moment, and he reluctantly smiled at everyone.

"Sorry, they look like they're gone......" Buta said.

Karl took the initiative to stand up at this time, patted Buta on the shoulder, and comforted: "It's not your fault, this town is not just our squad fighting!" And it's good that we have the results we have now! ”

Karl's words, though the voices of many knights in the battle squad, did not comfort Buta.

He looked a little sullen, but when he walked out of a messy alley with everyone, and saw the big bell tower a few hundred meters away from the tower, Buta's eyes lit up, and he quickly pointed over there and said: "There were originally some little monsters in that bell tower that were on fire, and when they first came in, they burned down a lot of houses in the town, and then they lived in that bell tower for some reason, and I didn't dare to get close, for fear of being discovered by them." ”

A quarter of an hour later, Karl's battle squad took over the bell tower in the small town of Rimezin and killed four Geg hiding in the oil tank in the gear room.

This kind of fire-controlling monster is also the lowest existence in the Flame Hell, their bodies are weaker than those kobolds, although they can throw fireballs, but the fireballs they throw are not very powerful, without forming a certain number of Gege has no combat power at all, and the knights of the guard battalion are wearing armor, and they can kill them almost effortlessly.

Although these guys have no abilities, their number is far less than that of Hellhounds, so the military department rewards a lot of merit points.

……

The boy Buta pointed to an alley where the battle had taken place, and muttered with some chagrin, "...... There should have been a giant hellhound on this street. ”

As the battle progresses, the hellhounds in the town become harder and harder to find.

Several combat squads encountered along the way even began to expect Surdak to come to the aid of the wounded.

Surdak felt that the sound of the battle in the direction of the temple was gradually weakening, especially the magicians' fireballs no longer continued to explode, and he realized that the battle in the town was likely to be coming to an end, so Surdak quickly changed his train of thought, and he asked Buta beside him:

"Buta, if those giant hellhounds in the temple want to evacuate the town, from which way can they leave the town as quickly as possible?"

The boy immediately thought about it seriously, then he looked in the direction of the temple and said to Surdak, "I know this......"

After going through a few alleys, the boy finally stopped at a street near a river and told everyone that this was the only way to leave the town of Umezu from the temple, because the temple had a large fountain, so there was a river leading to the temple, and if you didn't want to cross the river, you had to walk along the river, and this was obviously the way to go.

Cal and a group of Guards Battalion knights crouched on the roof, and when they saw several hellhounds silently coming out of the dark alley, and a giant hellhound lying in the shadow of a small demon, everyone was finally convinced by Surdak's keen combat instincts.

And the body of the little demon half-human and half-dog lying on the giant dog makes people look creepy, as if a demon face grows on the body of the hellhound, but obviously this is still a cub, and he can't even walk yet, but the face full of symbols is really a little terrifying, and there are demon horns on the top of his head.

Karl endured the discomfort and said, "This is the son of the devil?" ”

Surdak ignored his knowingly question, and just instructed the half-elf archer beside him, "Samira, shoot the little demon riding on the back of the giant hellhound first......"
