478. Fierce battles
The town of Dixon is located in the hilly area southwest of the city of Warjmara, where the jungle is not very dense, and the southern slopes of many hills are covered with large forests, and the northern slopes of these hills are covered with a low shrub, which is called the tartar tree by the local aborigines, this shrub is rich in a type called the tartar berry, although the tartar berry is a seasonal berry, but the berry is mixed with maple syrup and boiled jam is very famous.
This shrub does not like the sun, and if it is exposed to the sun for too long, the tartar fruit will be very sour, and it can only grow well on the northern slopes of hilly areas that are protected from sunlight. This jam is cultivated in large quantities in the area, so the hilly landscape here is special.
From the south to the north, the mountains are covered in jungle.
But when Surdak turns and looks from north to south, he sees that the northern slope of the hilly land is covered with numerous bushes, and the jungles outline the hilly land in a complete line.
Dixon Town is not very big, standing on the high ground of the hills, the view can almost run through the whole town, the houses on the edge of the town are scattered a little, the whole town has only two main streets, the intersection of these two streets is the town center, only the buildings there are denser, the clock tower in the town center is nearly twice as tall as the other buildings, and it is extremely abrupt in the center of the town.
Now the town has become lifeless, the town is surrounded by some hellhounds, there are a few black crows hovering in the sky, these hellhounds are hiding behind the buildings on the edge of the town, from a distance it turns out to be a large black oppression, many buildings still stand on the roofs of some palms constantly burning fireballs Gog, the town is constantly emitting some fire and black smoke, many buildings have been turned to ashes, only some stone buildings are still standing.
Nearly a hundred giant hell guards a three-headed hellhound stood in front of the town, confronting each other with the guard battalion on the high hill not far away, and from time to time let out an irrepressible low roar.
Fifteen hundred knights of the guard battalion stood on the high post, the whetstone rubbed against the blade of the long sword and emitted dark red sparks, some of the knights sang the war song of the battle, in the Grimm Empire, probably only Bena Province still retains the tradition of singing war songs before the war, everyone believes that the war song can give the soldiers courage and guide the soldiers to victory, thousands of people sing a song at the same time, everyone's voice is not very loud, but the deafening song is like a burst of rolling thunder, extending in all directions.
The knights stared at the town ahead, and their hearts erupted with surging battle intent.
The three commanders, Viscount Emmett, Earl Collins and Viscount Owen, stood together, and the captains of the major teams also gathered behind the three of them, divided their respective areas of responsibility, and hurried back to their respective camps, all the knights were lined up in a neat row on the hilly ground, and more than seventy knights in costume were scattered everywhere.
These days, they have experienced more than a dozen battles with Cerberus, and everyone has a deep understanding of the tactics and weaknesses of these Cerberus, even if there is a three-headed Cerberus in the town, the knights are still high-spirited.
Viscount Emmett drew his sword and pointed high into the sky.
The knight team burst out with a knightly aura, and Surdak was also one of the knights with a power aura, and the knights of the supporting squadron gathered towards him, silently feeling the power that came to his feet.
"All the knights...... Offensive! Viscount Emmett gave the order.
The knight of the guard battalion rushed into the town of Dixon in three streams, and the ogre Gullitum stood out in the crowd, he could step seven or eight meters away in one step, and with the big stick called 'Broken Bone' on his shoulder, he rushed down the hill like a giant rhinoceros crashing into the camp of hellhounds.
Thousands of hellhounds also rushed out of the town like a black tide at this moment, and the two sides collided in the wilderness outside the town.
The ogre warrior was like a huge stone smashed into the pond, the moment he crashed into the hellhound camp, the bone-shattering stick in his hand was already rounded, and suddenly four or five hellhounds were hit by the bone-crushing stick, and the low roar turned into a whimper and a mournful roar, and they were smashed into the sky by the bone-crushing stick.
More hellhounds pounced on the ogre, the ogre didn't pay any attention to the other hellhounds around him, took another step forward, and swung a bone-shattering stick at a giant hellhound in the hellhound group, and the knights who rushed behind him drew their long swords one after another, raised the knight's light shield in their hands, and collided with the black tide formed by the hellhounds.
The knights kept flashing the phantom of 'potential', and a pair of eyes appeared behind Andrew, a native of the Nanai tribe, and at the same time, Andrew's eyes instantly turned blood-red, holding a double axe and following behind the ogre, like a farmer who rushed into a cabbage field, wielding the big axe in his hand to cut off the heads of the two Cerberus that pounced on him, he was wearing a set of full-cover armor, and he didn't care about the bite of the rest of the Cerberus around him, and stopped the Cerberus rushing up on the right side of his body for the ogre.
The knights behind came one after another, and for a while they raised their shields to stop the Cerberus who pounced, and the knights of the guard battalion blocked the first wave of Cerberus with their bodies with their shields, and a group of Cerberus suddenly fell under the long sword.
At this time, Surdak naturally followed Carl inch by inch, the dwarf chain shield in his hand frequently burst out with silver light, stopping the hellhounds that pounced one by one, every combat action is as standard as a textbook, I can't see how much strength he uses, the blood-red crescent moon in his hand can always accurately pierce the heart of the hellhound, every movement is smooth and natural, from the shield block to the slash is basically done in one go.
In this kind of camp melee, Surdak finally showed his combat effectiveness, this kind of battle is the best touchstone, and Surdak showed the other knights what it means to be experienced in a hundred battles, he never wastes a trace of extra strength, every action is clean and neat, and the purpose is very simple and clear, that is, to kill the Cerberus in front of him as quickly as possible.
With Surdak by Carl's side, he shared half of the burden for him, and the knight's sword in Karl's hand also reaped many results.
Samira walked at the back of the group, her forest bow firing feathered arrows as she rescued the downed knight from the kiss of some Cerberus.
When the knights of the guard battalion pursued the defeated Cerberus close to the town, a rain of fire flew out of the rooftops of the buildings on the edge of the town, and these small fireballs fell in the crowd, causing great trouble to the knights, even if the knights raised their shields to block, these fireballs would attach to the surface of the shield and continue to burn.
If these fireballs are not extinguished in time, these flames will soon burn the shields in the knights' hands, making them unable to hold the shields again.
Some knights even removed the water bladder from their waists, used their swords to remove the flames stuck to their shields, and poured water on their shields.
The three Cerberus leaders guarded the last line of defense, the three heads looked at the battlefield uncertainly, and saw the knights of the guard battalion rushing up in front of them, the three heads of the three Cerberus let out a roar at the same time, and he jumped down from a building, and nearly a hundred giant Cerberus around him followed, and instantly turned into a rolling torrent and rushed directly to the location of Viscount Emmett.
This new force came in, and immediately made the front line of the knights of the guard battalion who had been killing all the way pause, and the fur on the three Cerberus leaders was black, and dark red was born on their bodies. The magic pattern, with the breath of lava, it was not afraid of ordinary swords at all, and it resisted the long swords stabbed by several knights, and the three heads bit the three knights at the waist, and Surdak seemed to hear the cracking of their bones from a long distance.
As soon as they made contact, more than a dozen knights were bitten by the giant Cerberus that rushed up later, and these Cerberus went on a rampage in the rain of fire thrown down by Gog, and the rain of fire fell on the bodies of the Hellhounds, which would make the lava flow on their bodies more vivid, and the three Cerberus leaders shook off the three knights who did not know whether they were alive or dead, and spat out three magic bullets from their mouths, and the magic bullets exploded in the crowd one after another.
The ice mist and flames burst open, and suddenly some knights were frozen into ice sculptures, and some knights instantly turned into fire people.
Of course, Viscount Emmett and the other three big knights around him would not let the three Cerberus Leaders wantonly slaughter the guards camp knights here, and they immediately took the constructed knights behind them to meet the three Cerberus Leaders.
At this time, the giant Cerberus behind him also burst out with good combat power, blocking the front line of the guard battalion Viscount Emmett out of the town.
Earl Collins and Viscount Owen led their men to rush over, everyone was ready to work together to fight against the three hellhounds, and the knights of the guard battalions in other regions also slowed down the pace of rushing into the town, the three guard battalions had nearly seventy knights, and almost half of them surrounded the three hellhounds, if it weren't for the giant hellhound guards around the leaders of the three hellhounds, they were likely to be killed directly by these knights.
The ogre Gulitum was also in the crowd rounding up the three Cerberus, the bone-crushing stick in his hand was stained with purple blood, and with one hand, he ripped off the giant Cerberus that pounced on his back and bit his shoulder, and poured it into the ground, and a huge foot stepped on the slender waist of the giant Cerberus, picked up the bone-crushing stick and smashed it on the top of the giant Cerberus, instantly smashing the giant Cerberus head.
Surdak followed Karl's side, but was a step behind.
At this moment, Surdak's vision suddenly appeared with countless fires, and more Gog suddenly appeared on the rooftops at the edge of the town, and one after another fire bombs pierced the sky and threw them at the battlefield here, like a rain of fire.
The battlefield was already full of smoke, and there was a smell of burnt paste in the air.
"Samira ......"
Seeing that the half-elf archers were still wasting arrows to save the knight who had been pounced on by the Cerberus, Surdak pointed to the Gog on the rooftop at the edge of the town and said, "Shoot the fire monsters as much as you can......"
Samira rubbed her hand against her face, dodged the bite of a hellhound without saying a word, half-crouched, and a light burst out of her right arm, and two arrows shot out of Samira's hand in no particular order, and suddenly there were two Gog with feathered arrows nailed to their foreheads on the roof, and one fell from the roof.
Before Surdak could catch up with Karl, he suddenly saw a Gog covered in flames stand from the highest place on the edge of the town, this Gog was more than twice as tall as the others, its upper body was almost wrapped in a ball of flames, and when it appeared, the flames thrown by the surrounding Gog became even more crazy.
Apparently this Gog is the king of all Gog.
And just as Surdak hesitated, the King of Gog's hands condensed a huge fireball, and the aura of flames flashed wildly on its body, and the upper half of its body lit up with flame patterns.
When it threw out the fireball in its hand, Surdak realized that it actually threw out three 'beaded fireballs' in one go.
The three fireballs landed in the group of knights and exploded one after another.
Several knights who were about to block with their shields were blasted into the sky by the Gog King's 'continuous fireballs', and the battlefield began to become extremely chaotic, and the originally routed army of Cerberus actually showed signs of holding their feet, followed by a rain of fire that continued to be thrown from a distance.
There was no Cerberus on the roof, and Surdak strode forward with the dwarven chain shield in his hand, and he ran directly past Karl to the red-eyed ogre, and pointed to the king of Gogg who was standing on the roof sixty yards away, and shouted:
"Gritham, throw me over......"
Karl, who was following Surdak, widened his eyes, he thought he had heard it wrong, but when he saw that the ogre had already leaned down, he picked up Surdak with both hands, and hurriedly stood in front of the ogre Gulitem, and shouted at Surdak:
"Surdak, you're crazy!"
Surdak raised the dwarven chain shield in his hand and waved his hand at the ogre, and Gulit threw Surdak out without hesitation.
Surdak only felt a burst of dizziness, like a cannonball was thrown into the air, and when he regained his vision, his body had already flown to the commanding height of the parabola, he hesitated slightly, and his body had already begun to fall rapidly, Surdak didn't want to smash it directly, it was estimated that if he fell on the stone wall of the building, even if he had the protection of the 'Earth Shield', he was likely to be smashed into a meat pie.
On the roof of the building where the King of Gog was, there was a flagpole that looked sturdy, but there were no flags on it.
Surdak found the right time to throw out the dwarf chain shield in his hand, and the shield hit the flagpole with an arc, and in the stunned eyes of everyone, it was accurately wound around the flagpole, and Surdak's body fell rapidly at this time, and when it fell to the lowest point, Surdak's arms pulled hard, and the whole person was like Tarzan of the apes, relying on the chains of the dwarf chain shield to cross the sky above the heads of countless cerberus, and landed steadily on the roof of the tallest building opposite, like a swing.
He stood in front of the bewildered King of Gog, and the blood-red crescent moon drew a blood-colored arc with one of his leaps.
Behind Surdak appeared a two-faced, four-armed demon god phantom, and one of the demon god's arms seemed to coincide with Surdak's arm......
A sharp aura poured out from the sword light, and before the Gog King could react, the blade slashed through its throat.
The next moment, all its movements stopped, and the six pitch-black eyes in the flames stared at Surdak deadly, and fell on its back in great reluctance, and then a flame shield suddenly appeared on its body!
