Chapter 127: The Hunter and the Prey
Rhodes did that strange and horrible dream again.
In the dream, he stood alone on Tsar's Boulevard, surrounded by people fleeing for their lives...... There were civilians, there were soldiers, and even, there were knights...... The city of Kislev is being destroyed, not burned, but covered in ice......
Rhodes stood on the frosty avenue, without a single deputy around him, and the roar of a dragon was heard overhead, and a cold current was spit out of the dragon's mouth, flooding the palace, the magic academy, and the temple of Daha, which symbolized light and fire......
Even more terrifying than burning, the whole city was covered in layers of ice, and those who were frozen in the ice struggled helplessly. He saw the fear in the eyes of the people, and at the same time the destruction of the vampires and the undead in the city. Ice kills, all living things are frozen under this apocalyptic cold wave. And the cold current is blowing from a giant dragon overhead.
Rhodes could see it, like a messenger of death, flying over the city and walking death through the world. In the distance, Rhodes even saw the familiar person - Caroline.
The wife had turned into a half-undead body, she was standing on the platform on the roof of the magic academy and casting spells, and under the spell, hordes of zombies crawled out of the ground, and under the breath of the ice dragon, wave after wave fell. Their rotting bodies were blown to pieces. Rhodes wanted to shout Caroline's name, but found that no matter how much he shouted, he couldn't do it.
Finally, when he yelled in anger, he had already woken up from the dream.
The dwarven butcher Bogur ran in breathlessly, "Found it, found it!"
"Found Seedorf?"
Rod asked.
"No, it's the battlefield. ”
Bogur grabbed the bottle from the table and said aloud as he drank bitterly.
A few hours later, the team arrived on the land that had once been stained red with blood. The scene in front of me was outrageous, and the endless wasteland was densely packed with the corpses of imperial soldiers. Spears stabbed the dead Imperial soldiers into the ground and stood on the ground. There are so many that there is no end in sight.
Due to the extremely cold climate of the Northlands, most of the corpses have not yet decomposed, maintaining the most painful death in life. Some had their heads removed and half of their bodies stuck in the shafts of their spears. Some had their hands and feet cut off, leaving only a piece of their body and head nailed to a wooden pole. In addition, the whole face was skinned, and the flesh and blood were glued together, and the appearance was extremely terrifying. Rod guessed that it was the work of the skinning werewolf.
Stepping on the slush, Bogur kicked the corpse at his feet, a corpse that had been eviscerated by the beast. The entire abdomen and chest cavity of the dead soldier were hollowed out, and only a skeleton remained, and the ribs that wrapped the internal organs were still glued to the minced meat, but the internal organs were all gnawed clean.
It can be seen that this is an Imperial musketeer, and because he is not wearing heavy armor, his body has become the object of devouring by ice wolves and various beasts.
"This is a massacre, there are no prisoners of war. ”
Bear Knight Captain Sibes said with a serious expression. Rhodes imagined the brutality and bloodshed of the battle, how the Imperial soldiers struggled in despair and died under the fangs and claws of the beasts and the butcher's knives of the savages.
"I doubt that the rabbit would be alive in this case?"
Bogur kicked over another corpse and sat on top of it.
"Aren't you afraid that these corpses will suddenly stand up and hug you?"
Rhodes said jokingly.
"There are no necromancers here, they can't stand up. Bogur shook the snowflakes off his body, "Even if they stand up, they will only be cut in two by my axe and die again." ”
As he spoke, he took out the flask and took a sip.
"Wait, did you hear that?"
Suddenly, Rhodes seemed to hear a strange sound from afar.
However, no one present, whether it was the rangers of Dulong City or the accompanying hunters, heard it. Rod rolled over and dismounted, his ears close to the cold ground, and the sound became more and more pronounced.
"Cavalry, beasts!"
"We've been discovered!"
Rod shouted.
"No way! We made sure we were safe while we were scouting. ”
The dwarven rangers didn't believe it, and still stubbornly defended. But the next moment, when a sky of dust and snow appeared on the horizon in the distance, everyone understood that their lord was right!
As the Chosen One, Rhodes has a sense of hearing and smell that is several times better than ordinary people.
"Withdraw!"
I saw the Norsca marauders approaching like a tidal wave.
The Icewolf chariot roared, and the barbarian cavalry, spear in hand, hurled at the dwarves and Kislev Bear Knights on the ground like hunting prey.
Sibes held the spear thrown by the enemy with his bare hands, and the next second, his bear roared and pounced on the predatory cavalry, the rider had no time to dodge, and even the man and horse were thrown to the ground, and in the struggle was bitten off by Sibes's grizzly bear and broke an arm. Another slap smashed his face.
Bogur fought excitedly, the Icewolf chariot roared in, and the Dwarven Butcher rushed head-on. At the moment when he was about to collide head-on, the butcher's small body leaped into the air and smashed into the chariot like a bombshell.
In an instant, the improvised Norska Icewolf chariot was shattered to pieces by this crazy butcher. The marauder shooter on the chariot was instantly smashed, and white brains and red blood splattered.
The bloodthirsty Icewolf turned and pounced, but was killed by Bogul's backhand, choking the neck, and then the butcher picked up his sharp axe and slashed into the wolf's body. The massive Icewolf let out a muffled roar and collapsed in a pool of blood......
Stomping on the massive body of the Icewolf, Bogul pulled out the rune battle axe.
Seeing this, the other marauder hunter pounced angrily, but was struck directly in the head by a throwing axe from Bogur, and fell to the ground with blood......
On the other end, Rhodes pulled out a one-man-high dragon tooth greatsword, one sword at a time, and slashed down the nearby Norsca Marauders one by one, without any Marauder Hunter's shield to block Rhodes' ferocious slash.
The greatsword swung in the air, slashing the last two Marauder Hunters straight away, and the Marauder Hunter closest to the High Lord was tragically stabbed through the throat by the Dragon's Tooth Greatsword. The whole person fell straight down.
In less than a few minutes, the Horde vanguard cavalry and chariot units had turned into a pile of broken copper and iron lying in the snow. However, more large forces have already pounced. A large number of marauders, warriors, skinned wolves are pouring in from all directions.
"Withdraw!"
Rod yelled. The battle cries grew louder and louder, and Rhodes knew that this was an encirclement ambush, not a simple encounter. The dwarven rangers of Dulong City, who thought they were capable, were followed by Norsca hunters. Obviously, these Norsca warriors were very different from the tribal warriors who recklessly marched south to plunder Marienburg. They definitely have a good commander.
