Chapter 194: Forest Attack

Losing her ticket north to Norsca, Eleiria couldn't help but feel a little depressed. She knew that it would be difficult to find another ship heading north in a short period of time.

Unless you go back to Marienburg Harbor, but it's not a wise thing to do. From the guards, she overheard some news, some news about herself. The slave merchant he killed a few days ago was a wealthy local merchant in Marienburg, and he had a lot of contacts with local officials. So, the matter has already caught the attention of the mayor of Marienburg. It is normal for nobles to kill commoners, but it is really big news that a nobleman with great power and incredible wealth died at the hands of an unknown junior.

Of course, they didn't know that the one who assassinated the slave merchant was actually not a nobody, and the Lost Wanderer was an extremely rare existence among the Wood Elves. They spend hundreds of years in the forest honing their marksmanship and mobility. In terms of combat power, it is enough to crush most human generals. Aryria just didn't want to reveal her identity, after all, she left Etholoren to go north this time, which was a personal action, and she did not have the support of any Wood Elf Lord or the Lord of the Forest.

The night wind was blowing, and Elleria in the hammock was a little drowsy.

......

It was already the middle of the night when I heard it again, and the trembling screams and the neighing of war horses flickered among the distant trees. Alertly, Aryria jumped down from the tree and pulled out her longbow. She pressed her long ears to the ground, and some rhythmic vibrations came from the surface, and she could faintly hear some loud tremors of big steps. The evening breeze wafted the smell of blood.

The Wood Elves knew that something was going on. She didn't want to care, but it seemed to beโ€”the beastman......

She doesn't have a crush on humans, but the Beastmen ...... It was a beast that had invaded her homeland, and she couldn't leave it alone. Every Wood Elf can't ignore the Beastmen when they encounter them.

Under the cover of night, Aryria flew and galloped, one man and one bow, and between the grass and leaves, the figure had already flashed.

"It's the Beastmen! Protect the Emperor!"

Captain Rick's Guard shouted. But the spear flew from a distance and stabbed him into the shoulder socket, and blood gushed out.

Under the canopy, two tall minotaurs smashed two heavily armed Rick Guards away with a single hammer. The iron-clad Guards were smashed far away until the half-armor rubbed against the ground with a shattering sound.

Emperor Louis Bird rushed out of the carriage and personally wielded a rune sword to fight the beastmen. He sideways dodged the Minotaur's hammer blow, then lunged forward, stabbing the runic sword into the Minotaur's chest. The unwearable runic sword pierced the Minotaur's heart from the bottom up. The sturdy minotaur warrior crashed to the ground with a roar of pain.

But the centaur behind him stepped on the corpse of the Imperial Guard, delivering a fatal blow to Emperor Louibold, whose tomahawk tore his shoulder and cut the armor in two. Red blood poured from Louis Bird's shoulder.

Just as the centaur was about to turn around and trample, Rick's guard picked up his spear and stabbed it into the chest. The centaur and beast neighed, and its battle axe slashed weakly, but its forearm was cut off by the sword of Emperor Louis Bird!

Along the forest path, the Emperor's guards, griffon knights, sword and shield warriors engaged in a bloody battle with the ferocious beastmen. They are all elite forces of the Empire. No one expected that on this road to Marienburg, there would be beastmen. Nuancai Literature Network

Around the rich and prosperous Marienburg, there have been no beastmen for a long time. At this moment, a large number of beastmen continued to besiege the Imperial army in the middle of the road. Despite the valiant battles of the Guards and Imperial Knights, there were too many enemies.

Bloodthirsty beastmen poured out of the forests on either side of the road, and the human soldiers were almost outnumbered. One of Louis Bird's side of Rick's Guards used an iron shield to block a beastman's tomahawk slash, but just as he was about to fight back, two more Badhorns rushed out of him, like mad ghouls, attacking up and down, one biting the thigh of the Guard, and the other jumping on his back and biting the back of his neck.

The soldier let out a scream of pain, but the Emperor himself went into battle and slit the throat of the horned beast with his sword. Enduring great pain, the Guards continued to fight. It's just that their numbers are getting smaller and smaller. The increase in casualties put a sharp increase in the pressure on the soldiers guarding the emperor. They tried to break out of the encirclement and ran to a high ground to set up a shield wall to defend it, but there were beastmen all around, and even the knights who reported the news could not break out of the encirclement.

The Imperial knight who rushed to the front was dragged into the roadside and dismembered by the men and horses......

The entire forest trail was littered with the stumps and severed arms of Imperial soldiers. The Beastmen form a dense encirclement network. At least two hundred beastmen surrounded the Imperial Guard, which consisted of only two dozen men. The dead Imperial soldiers lay on the ground, covered in blood. Some of the ferocious beastmen even picked up the stumps on the ground and tore them up.

The entire forest echoed with the fierce howls of the beastmen.

"My son, stay in the car, trust me, I'll take you to safety. โ€

Louis Bird turned and poked his head into the carriage, comforting his son. He winked at the coachman. Signal him to stay in the car at all times and stick to his post.

Immediately, the Emperor turned to face the Beastmen and stood with his own soldiers. A large number of beastmen surrounded him. In the darkness of the night, the firelight cast out the distorted and terrifying faces.

In the herd, a tall giant walked out, facing the shield wall, the giant did not care, the giant hammer in his hand thicker than the trunk of the tree was the nightmare of the human soldiers. No matter how strong the armor of the guards was, they could not stop the thunderous onslaught.

Louis Bird was ready to fight to the death.

However, just when everyone thought that the darkness had descended and that there was no hope, a cold arrow burst through the air, and at a distance beyond the sight of all, an arrow shot into the giant's head!

Even the most advanced muskets of the Empire could not have pierced the giant's neck with a bullet, but this arrow pierced the giant's throat.

With a splash of black blood, the giant crashed to the ground as everyone looked at him in amazement. Even the Guards were stunned. Louis Bird clenched his sword tightly, looking uneasily at the forest at night.

After a moment of silence, the Beastmen went berserk, and some of the Beastmen continued to assault the human defenses, while more Beastmen scattered in all directions, looking for the Assassin who had released the cold arrow. If he's a human ranger, he's definitely going to have to be dismantled.

However, it wasn't a human ......
