Chapter 13: Al's Determination (Part I)
Silverfang's angry howl visibly startled the horses of the human ranks.
After a horse was frightened, it staggered in a panic, and the carriage carrying the white wolf gradually fell to the back of the line.
Here's your chance!!
Al rushed out of the jungle at once, his target was not humans, but one step over the humans around the carriage, and he opened his mouth to bite the horses pulling the cart.
Under the sharp teeth of the demon wolf, even a sturdy horse could only neigh and struggle.
The guards next to the carriage were stunned for a moment, and immediately organized an attack on Al.
Al's goal was clear, he bit the horse's neck and writhed left and right to avoid the attack in a very small area, even with the sword added.
In this way, the horse in Al's mouth quickly tilted his head and lay down, killing him on the spot.
Under the siege of the humans, Al also suffered multiple injuries.
The moment he let go of his horse, a human militia stabbed him angrily, dodging a frontal attack, only to be hit in the stomach by a human stick from the side.
The huge blow caused the juice of the Kalia fruit in his stomach to spurt out of his mouth mixed with his blood.
The highly corrosive liquid sticks to the besieging militia, and it acts as if it were a biological weapon.
Several militiamen hid their faces and wailed.
Yes!!!
My eyes!!!
My face!!!
Movement at the back of the line caught Dark's attention.
He ordered the forward team to move on, and he brought a few people to the rescue.
Al struck a successful blow and stopped attacking, glancing at Aya and Phil in the carriage cage with a determined look in his eyes.
"I'll save you!"
Al, enduring his pain, turned and fled into the jungle before enemy reinforcements arrived.
......
For Dark, this turn of events was both expected and unexpected.
He knew that the wolves would come, but he didn't expect that the first to arrive was a wolf cub.
The wolf cub was so clever that he chose to attack the horses.
This is clearly stalling for time for the wolves in the rear.
Darker snapped the reins of the dead horses with two swords and replenished them with his own horse, telling Luna to jump into the carriage and act as a guard at the cage.
Luna searched around for the wolf's whereabouts.
Vaguely, she felt that this figure was somewhat familiar.
It's a bit like that little wolf a few days ago!
Dark's approach paid off, and after a short period of repairs, the two wagons were able to continue their journey.
With the Guardian Knight in charge, Al did not dare to risk attacking, so he continued to follow, and kept roaring to inform the enemy's movements.
Now it has come to the most critical time, and both sides are anxious.
Long-distance running is not Al's strong point, his body has long reached its limit, and it is completely up to his will to keep up with the human team all the way.
Al gasped for air, his throat numb with pain.
His vision began to blur a little, and he no longer had the strength to call out loud.
He knew he couldn't stop.
Once stopped, he might not be able to get up, and he would never be able to catch up with the human team.
After a non-stop journey, I saw that I was about to reach the edge of the jungle.
Beyond the jungle lies a large meandering river with a valley tens of meters deep, a natural boundary formed by the power of nature, separating the El Zhisen inhabited by demonic beasts from the plains controlled by humans.
There is a suspension bridge in the river valley, which is the only way for humans to travel between the nearby villages and forests.
The first time Al left the White Wolf territory, there was no way he knew about the existence of the drawbridge.
But he can see from the fact that humanity has picked up the pace again.
The final moment came.
Al gave up tailgating, and he sped desperately to the front of the human team, and saw the end of the forest in the distance.
and the wooden suspension bridge at the end of the forest that connects the two sides of the canyon.
As a monster, Al didn't understand the function of the drawbridge, but he could tell from the terrain that once humans passed through the drawbridge, it would be basically impossible for the wolves to pursue it.
Can't let them pass!
Al no longer had the strength to think of what to do, and he relied on his beastly instinct to use his hidden talent of strength to the extreme, and slammed his head into a small tree on the side of the road with all his might.
Boom!
Whoa!
A tree that is not too big or small breaks off from its roots, and suddenly stands across the path of human progress.
In Madter's squad, some of the fast personnel had already rushed over.
But there was still a large part of the team that was blocked by the sudden fall of the tree.
Al jumped onto the trunk of the tree and let out his final roar at the humans who followed!
Whew!!
Hiss~hiss~
Some of the people in the middle of the team didn't have time to react, and for a while, people turned on their backs.
This time, even Luna found it incredible.
The look of the little wolf in front of her was all too familiar to her.
It's it!
It's the little wolf who fought against her.
However, now she is also a little confused.
Because she couldn't believe how this little white wolf could behave like this.
Beneath its humble exterior, there is such wisdom hidden.
Several encounters, the wolf's various manifestations flashed through Luna's mind one by one.
Attack on Palamir's weak point.
Surprise attack on horses.
Use trees as obstacles to block your team's progress.
It's inconceivable that such a move appeared on a demon wolf!
However, Duck didn't make Luna sigh.
He leaped off the horse that pulled the cart, and his magic-infused sword burst into green light.
γBlade of Gale!γ γ
Dark's famous martial arts.
With the swing of the greatsword, the immense force turned into a gale that could tear through any opponent and split the trees that stood in its way.
The monster's instinct to perceive danger once again saved Al's life.
At the same time as Dark's martial arts, Al subconsciously chose to dodge.
However, even if Al dodged the frontal attack of the Gale Blade, the massive wind pressure knocked him to the ground.
Al lay in the grass by the side of the road, and there was no pain in his body.
Al felt the blood in his body flowing through the wounds around him, soaking the ground around him in a matter of moments.
The loss of blood had more serious consequences, and Al felt that his physical strength was also losing at an accelerated rate, and the paralysis of his limbs made him unable to get up several times.
Losing the ability to move in battle is the most terrible thing, and all that remains is to be slaughtered.
He was very unwilling.
Al looked up at the swaying grass in front of him, and the face of a human soldier emerged from behind the grass.
It's all coming to an end!!
Al is not afraid of death, he is afraid that he has worked hard for so long, and in the end, even if he takes this life, he will not be able to save his mother and sister.
But now, he doesn't even have the strength to bare his teeth.
Whining!
It's all my strength that is too weak!
It's all because I don't work hard enough on weekdays!!
It's all to blame......
