1511. The Return of the Hero
The cold wind poured into her body through the cracks in the metal armor, and Delia felt a little cold.
The plate armor forged from magic metal is engraved with runes and made of magic patterns, which is obviously not suitable for Delia, with good defense and magic resistance, and a certain increase in strength and physique, but it is very bulky.
This type of Magical Pattern Construct is perfect for Construct Knights, but it can be a bit cumbersome for a hunter like Delia who is good at jungle combat.
Surdak hadn't thought about it too much just now, and now it seemed that she was more suitable for the Magical Pattern Construct made of light leather armor made of Monster Skin.
This kind of metal armor, especially when you can't wear a shirt, can feel quite poor when you wear it on your body and are blown by the cold wind......
However, this kind of light leather armor Surdak did not have it in his hands for the time being, so he could only let Delia stand in the cold wind like this.
Fortunately, when she rescued the magician Basil, she was given a very thick woolen blanket, and Delia felt much better after draping the blanket over her body.
At least there's a little warmth on my face......
The snow and ice at the foot of the mountain began to melt, and the water that flowed out of the snow merged into the originally dry stream.
Surdak carried the magician Basil on his back and walked along a small stream that was not too wide, out of the valley, and over a mountain ridge to see the battlefield of the North Pass.
It was getting late, and even against the wind, I could hear shouts of killing in the distance.
It looks like the battle for the North Pass lasted a whole day.
Basil was curious that Surdak and Delia had worked together to kill a demon leader, and asked for details along the way.
Surdak didn't say anything about the 'Temple', only an overview of the battle.
Along the way, Surdak treated Basil's injuries, the magician only broke a leg, and he himself also had potions and hydrotherapy scrolls, he also knew a little first aid, and had already given himself a simple first aid treatment, so Surdak's holy light technique was only able to speed up the healing of his injuries.
Delia was curious about Basil's magic, and every time he cast it, he would stand aside and watch quietly.
The three of them climbed the last mountain ridge as fast as they could, and the battlefield on the north pass side was still filled with a large number of evil spirits.
Surdak was a little anxious, and couldn't help but stride towards the north pass below the mountain range, this hillside is gentle, and only occasionally there are some mossy stones that require extra attention, and if you accidentally step on the air, you can easily sprain your foot.
Delia walked at the back, her amber eyes reflecting Surdak's back......
At sunset, he walked on the mountain, and the shadow was stretched so long.
His body is taller than the indigenous warriors of the Agrodi Clan, and his majestic body is wearing heavy armor, which always has an extra visual impact, and will bring people a little more sense of security and trust.
He was brave and wise, and his intellect always triumphed over greed, making him a lord of good character.
Biting his lip, he took two quick steps to catch up.
……
The shouts of slaughter in the distance had become incomparably clear, and the roars of the demon warriors could be heard over the city walls.
The demon warriors who rushed in from the city gate hole have all been cleared, and the military camp on the north side of the city wall is back in the hands of the Western Route Army.
The wounded who had been withdrawn from the battlefield lay in makeshift medical tents, and the aboriginal warriors were blessed with the blessing of the 'Divine Body', so that even ordinary minor injuries did not affect the battle at all, and almost all of the wounded who lost their combat effectiveness were seriously wounded with broken arms and thighs.
In the past on the battlefield of the Aigrod tribe, this kind of wounded person was withdrawn from the battlefield and transported back to the tribe to recuperate on his own, at most, the misplaced bones were realigned and a layer of herbs was applied to the wound.
Because of the blessing of the 'Divine Blessed Body', the pain will be greatly reduced, and the injuries heal quickly, and the great witches of the tribe feel that there is no need for additional treatment.
However, there is an additional medical team on the side of the Western Route Army, and those with broken bones will be reconnected, then fixed with splints, and finally carried to medical tents on stretchers to receive special care......
Whether it is a knight of the cavalry regiment of the Western Route Army or an aboriginal warrior of the Aigrod tribe, they will receive the same treatment in the medical tent.
For the arrangement of the command post of the Western Route Army, the elders and patriarchs of the tribes could not find any fault, although the battle was extremely difficult, but the soldiers had always held the defensive line, and occasionally the demon general with a team of evil ghosts broke through the defensive line, and it would also be cleared out in time by the soldiers in the rear camp.
Many people died on this day, but the morale of the Aboriginal warriors was still high.
The last of the Constructed Knights were also removed from the walls.
The head of the city, which was more than five meters wide, was almost covered with viscous purple blood, and the battlements were covered with the corpses of demon warriors, and a group of aboriginal warriors who had just been replenished from under the city were dragging these corpses down with long hooks, and then throwing them all to the north of the city wall.
The warriors waiting inside the city walls will take sharp axes to cut off the heads of the demon corpses, and then these headless corpses will be distributed to the skinners to peel off the most valuable black demon skins, and the remaining useless demon corpses will be thrown into the pit for incineration, except for feeding the ghost tattooed red ants.
On the other side of the wall, the demon legions, which had been reduced by a quarter, were still storming the walls.
The demon warriors rushed to the city wall in a line, and the demon corpses piled up under the wall in the middle of the city wall formed a gentle slope, and a large number of demon warriors rushed to the top of the city by stepping on the corpses of their companions.
At this moment, at the head of the city, nearly fifty tribal warriors led their respective squads to alternately fight against these demon warriors who rushed up.
……
In the camp of the cavalry regiment on the north side of the city wall, groups of ant cavalry and giant ghost-patterned soldier ants lined up in a phalanx, and everyone was quietly waiting for the moment when it was completely dark.
After dark, the cavalry regiment of the Western Route Army will blow the horn of a counteroffensive.
Due to the fact that the gate hole was completely blocked by stones, and countless demon corpses were piled up on the south side of the city wall, the Constructed Knights could no longer enter the battlefield on the south side of the city wall through the city gate hole.
Only the ant cavalry and the giant ghost-patterned soldiers who ignore any terrain can enter the battlefield in the darkness of night.
Andrew, Gullitham, and Wolf Knight Tiger have all given up their horses, and they have each chosen a giant ghost-patterned soldier ant to stand on top of the giant ghost-patterned soldier ant like Selena.
The atmosphere in the Legion was a bit dreary at the moment.
It's been almost a day since Surdak left the battlefield, and so far, no news has come back.
Even Basil, the magician who flew along, did not send any magic signal.
The two-headed ogre regretted his decision in the morning, knowing that he had said it at the time, he would have followed what he had said.
"Cheer up, Surdak will be fine, trust me!" Selena stood on top of a giant soldier ant and said to the others.
Andrew said with a little weakness: "Now I can only hope that he will come back soon, don't miss the most exciting battle on our side, you must know that for this battle, we have been preparing for more than a month." ”
Thinking about the headless horseman who was full of power, everyone suddenly lost the confidence to win.
Selena frowned and said calmly:
"The casualties of the aboriginal warriors of the Aigrod tribe are almost equal to those of the demon army, and our purpose in rushing to the battlefield this time is to block the charge of the demon army, strangle these evil spirits to the greatest extent, and buy our allies a whole night to rest."
Hearing Selena say this, everyone regained their spirits and responded, "Got it......"
This battle plan has been set a long time ago, but there is no such thing as a headless horseman in the plan, but the battle has been fought to this extent, even if it is hard-headed, it must be carried out.
Whichever side is defeated now will bear the consequences of defeat......
As the druids blew their whistles, seven thousand giant ghostly soldiers left the cavalry camp and ascended the steep walls from the north.
Andrew and Wolf Knight Tiger were the first to rush forward, followed by the two-headed ogre Gulitham.
The two brothers sat on a giant ghost-patterned soldier ant, which looked a little discordant, but fortunately the ghost-patterned soldier ant was strong enough to carry the two-headed ogre to the city wall very smoothly.
When the three second-turn powerhouses ascended to the top of the city, they quickly cleared a space at the head of the city.
They wanted to ensure Selena's absolute safety, and then one of the largest giant ghost-striped soldier ants carried Selena up the city walls.
The last glimmer of light was about to be swallowed up by darkness, and at this moment, a green magic flare suddenly rose from the hillside to the northwest of the battlefield, and the huge green fireball rushed into the sky and exploded into a cloud of brilliant fireworks.
The soldiers of the cavalry regiment let out bursts of cheers when they saw the magic flares.
At night, Andrew's eyesight was far inferior to that of Tygo, the wolf knight, especially without Surdak's blessing, so he hurriedly asked Tygo:
"Look at ...... What's going on over there? ”
Before the wolf knight Tiger could answer Andrew's question, the ant cavalry around him had already begun to cheer:
Surdak ......
Surdak ......
It's just that then the cheers of these ant cavalry were suppressed by the louder aboriginal cheers, except for the aboriginal warriors who fought at the head of the city, the rest of the hundreds of thousands of aboriginal warriors were shouting the same name:
"Delia ......"
"Delia ......"
"Delia ......"
Their shouts even raised the mood of the aboriginal warriors at the head of the city.
Selena also saw Surdak who rushed back before dark at this time, and saw that he could still walk like a fly with a person on his back, so she knew that he should be fine.
"Our lord has returned safely, and it looks like he's doing well, and I'm curious where he took that big guy with him." Tiger the Wolf Knight shouted excitedly.
The two-headed ogre was in high spirits at this time, and immediately responded, "You can ask Duck in person later." ”
"There's no rush here, friends, it's time for our show, ready to go......"
Andrew didn't even wait for Selena's 'fog of war', and jumped from the top of the head of the ghost-patterned soldier ant to the head of the city with the 'butcher's pupil' in his hand, although the wounds on his body were not completely healed, but after Nika's treatment, and the witch of the Aigrod tribe blessed him with the 'Divine Blessed Body', so it didn't affect the battle too much.
Selena's body was already enveloped in a thick black mist, and as a jerky spell sounded, the mist quickly spread in all directions, enveloping all the giant ghost-patterned soldier ants who had already reached the city.
At this time, the cavalry regiment of the Western Route Army sounded the horn of the charge.
As the fog of war rolled towards the south of the city wall, a large group of giant ghost-patterned soldiers and ants slowly crawled outside the city wall as they cleared out the demons at the head of the city......
The only unexpected thing is that the part of the aboriginal warriors who were originally fighting in the bloody battle at the head of the city did not retreat because the giant ghost soldiers and ants occupied the city, they saw with their own eyes the evil ghosts under the fog of war running around like blind people on the head of the city, and these dozens of aboriginal warriors with their respective combat teams almost unanimously made a bold decision.
They actually followed behind the giant ghost-patterned soldier ants, stepped on the corpse of the demon warrior in the middle of the city wall, and rushed to the battlefield to the south together.
Even when they saw the billowing fog coming, the demon warriors still maintained their offensive formation and charged towards the city walls.
It's just that in the next second, they crashed into the fog of war, and what was waiting for them was the huge teeth of the giant soldier ants, and then there were aboriginal warriors and ant cavalry armed with spears in the back to mend their knives, making this 'fog of war' form a giant meat grinder, not counting devouring the lives of demon warriors.
……
Surdak ran to the edge of the camp in the North Pass, and was surrounded by a large number of aboriginal warriors.
Of course, these aboriginal warriors did not welcome him, but welcomed the safe return of their forest princess, Delia.
Surdak struggled out of the crowd with the sorcerer Basil on his back, first throwing him into the medical tent before rushing towards the battlefield on the other side of the city walls.
He had seen the black mist pouring out of the city......
Probably because there was such an obelisk in his body, Surdak looked at the rolling black fog gushing out of the city at this moment, and felt that the center of the fog was like a huge dark vortex, and a large amount of dark aura poured down from the night sky like a waterfall, and then it was swept by the vortex and spread outward.
Right in the center of the whirlpool, Surdak could clearly feel the faint divinity contained in Selena's body.
It should be a hint of the goddess of the night that descended on Selena......
He didn't have such a strong insight before, but when he returned from the temple this time, he could not only feel some of the laws of this plane, but also perceive ...... Divinity!
