Chapter 33: Awakening
"Brothers, fight with me!"
"Blackhammer Castle will never fall!"
The rain of blood continued to fall, and in the beating firelight, Rhodes raised his sword and shouted. Despite fear, the soldiers persisted in fighting under the banner of the Black Hammer Lord.
A huge minotaur warrior smashed the human infantry around him with a single hammer, and the helmet of the Heidelberg warrior was stuck to the flesh, and the head instantly turned into a pile of red clay. The archer's arrows could not stop the beast from its path, and it slammed the human infantry like a baby and stomped their heads. Rod didn't even know how the thing got up.
But there was no time to think about it, and Rod could only go out in person again. He snatched the torch from the guard's hand and threw it at the minotaur, angering the beast. Then he quickly charged at the Minotaur warrior, who was also furious, letting out a beastly roar, and the two battle axes of the Minotaur danced wildly in the air like a butcher's meat axe.
However, Rod didn't give him a chance, and the moment he approached his opponent, Rod jumped up the nearest staircase, and the minotaur slashed with an axe, smashing the wooden ladder under Rod's feet, while Rod jumped early, roared, and flew towards the minotaur. He stabbed the Chilliron Sword into the beastman's chest.
The minotaur let out a cry of grief and fell to his knees, and when he tried to get up again, Rhodes took off the sharp axe from his waist and slashed at its skull like a bull, and the warm blood flowed all over the minotaur's head.
"Caroline!"
Pulling out the axe stuck in the beastman's forehead, Rod opened his throat and roared. However, there was still no response. Blackhammer is in shambles.
During the search, another beastman roared and rushed forward.
Rhodes used the battle axe in his hand to block the opponent's heavy blow, and his feet took advantage of the situation to approach hard, grabbing the neck of the beastman with one hand, and before the other party could react, the Hidden Blade in the hand of the Lord of Black Hammer Castle had already ejected, sealing his throat with a sword.
Blood soaked Rod's right hand.
Rhodes knew that he could keep fighting like this, killing one beastman after another, but there was always a limit to people's physical strength, and when he was exhausted, it was when these beastmen killed themselves. After all, no matter what, he is still a mortal.
"Caroline!"
He continued to shout.
This time, the witch responded, only to see a blue light flickering in the crowd not far away, and unnatural snowflakes swirling above the caster's head.
Her goal was so obvious, but Lawrence and Khufu and the others kept the witch tightly guarded. Arrows continued to emerge from the ranger's hand, blocking the Beastmen's approach to Caroline.
Caroline, on the other hand, closed her eyes tightly and concentrated on casting her spells. The frost spell sounded on her lips, and after thirty or so seconds, frost began to form on the edges of the walls, and the siege ladders that the beastmen used to climb the walls began to freeze slowly.
Immediately afterward, Caroline's incantation became faster and faster, and the ladders and walls froze faster and faster, and in certain areas, the temperature dropped rapidly. A minute later, the Beastmen's tall siege ladder was frozen into an ice ladder, and although it still retained its appearance, the slippery feet made it impossible for the burly Beastman to climb again.
The offensive was finally stopped.
"Follow me, kill them back!
The spell was successful, and Rod shouted in ecstasy.
The warriors of Ring City and Blackhammer fought side by side, firing a wave of bows and arrows, and then advancing with spears. The Beastmen continued to fight furiously, but there were no follow-up supplies, and their numbers continued to dwindle.
"Don't hold back!"
"Follow me!"
About thirty beastmen were crammed into the narrow corridors of the castle, the archers and javelinmen of Blackhammer kept firing, and the spearmen and sword and shield men advanced slowly under the leadership of Rhodes.
Behind her, Caroline, the Frost Witch, continued to cast spells, and the Frost Spell echoed through the cold castle.
The blood water stained Rhodes into a bloody man, he grabbed the beastman's wrist, quickly swirled, and with a quick step, flashed in front of the beastman, the sharp long sword pierced into the beastman's abdomen, and the huge figure fell in front of Rod. The bloodthirsty battle made him forget his exhaustion, and everyone was roaring and fighting. The high tension of the mind will forget the exhaustion.
They trampled on the corpses of the beastmen, pushed, and pushed again. A tall body fell before them.
Soon, the siege ladder behind the beastman made a sound of ice breaking, and countless small cracks appeared in the tall ladder, and then, these cracks spread rapidly under the effect of ice magic, and in less than a few seconds, the entire siege ladder was like a burst of ice, completely falling apart, and the ice slag fell from the sky, and the beastmen who had no time to dodge in the future smashed their heads and broke their heads. At the same time, it also cut off the possibility of these beastmen continuing to climb the city walls.
"Roaring ......"
The beastmen below the walls let out a furious roar, and the beastmen on the walls responded with a mournful roar. But they will inevitably be slaughtered by the human coalition.
A deformed beast man fell, and the scales of victory slowly tilted in favor of Blackhammer. In the fire-filled castle, the triumphant song seems to have been slowly played.
However, on the battlefield of the flesh-and-blood castle, Rhodes suddenly remembered Dennis...... His daughter was still in the room! He told her not to come out. God, I hope she is obedient and doesn't come out, otherwise, how can a thin little girl avoid the butcher's knife of the beastman!
"Virgil, lead the soldiers and kill all those beasts!"
Rod yelled.
At the same time, he squeezed his way out of the crowd again and ran towards Dennis's room.
Along the way, there were stumps and broken arms and bloody corpses, blood stained the castle floor, through the corridor, slammed open the wooden door, Rod only wished that his daughter was still in the room, however, the blood stains and scattered corpses along the way made Rode's heart cold.
Because the corpses were intermittently spread from the outer part of the castle to the inner part of the castle, the blood stains were everywhere, even extending all the way to the innermost rooms.
"Dennis!"
Rod called out in his heart, hoping that the worst would not happen.
He walked through the final hallway, and the smell of blood and beast made Rhodes have to accept the fact that the beastmen have been here.
The guards were dismembered and crushed, however, not a single beast-man corpse was seen. They rushed to the deepest part of the castle. It's not much, but it's enough to cause devastating damage.
Rhodes stepped on the spiral class and ran all the way, and finally came to his daughter's room. The scene in front of him made him dumbfounded.
Everything, completely unexpected. At the door of his daughter's room, the blood coagulated, the door was slammed open, and the door frame was covered with thick frost......
Rod's first instinct was that Caroline had been here, however, rushing into the room, Rod was shocked by what he saw. The entire room was covered in extreme cold, from the floor to the walls, to the furniture and ceiling, all covered in a thick layer of ice!
Several of the beastmen who broke into the room were also frozen by the powerful power of the frost, and the power of the ice was so strong that even several of the beastmen still maintained their appearance and posture before they died.
"Dennis!"
Rod shouted. Anxiously searching for his daughter.
In desperation, he slipped on the ice and fell to the ground, only to see his daughter Dennis hiding in the gap between the cupboard and the bed crying. She panicked, her face frightened, her hands stained with frost, exactly like Caroline looked when she cast her spell!
"It can't ......"
Rod said in a lost voice. He leaned over and hugged Dennis.
Dennis cried and hugged his father, his almost frozen hands hugging Rod tightly, and Rod could feel a chill coming from his back, piercing his clothes and covering his skin. If it weren't for his extraordinary physique, his back would have been frostbitten.
"It's okay, baby. ”
Rod whispered. He carried his daughter to the bed and spread out her hands, and the cold air turned into white smoke and continued to rise from the palm of Dennis's palm. At this moment, Rhodes has to accept a cruel reality - his daughter Dennis is also a frost witch. Moreover, she is a Frost Witch with great talent......
Caroline studied and trained at the Kislev Academy of Magic for six years before she was considered a third-order wizard and had the ability to freeze enemies. And his daughter Dennis, who is now only eight years old, has frozen an entire room without any training or learning, along with the five beastmen who entered the door!
"It's okay, Daddy is here. ”
While Rod comforts his daughter Dennis, he has mixed feelings in his heart. The Frost Witch, according to the laws of Kislev, once someone in the kingdom awakens the Frost talent, they must be brought to the capital city of Kislev for formal training, training under the nose of the Ice Queen. What kind of place it was, Rhodes knew very well that Dennis must not be discovered. Rod silently read in his heart.
