07 Decisive battle against the White Wolf King
After a bumpy road, everyone finally came to the outpost a thousand meters in front of the fortress, and Anka, who was placed on horseback, directly found a place to vomit after getting off the horse, and the bumps along the way directly turned out Anka's food yesterday.
"Hmm, when did the fortress change its style?" Karn said as he stood at the front and looked at the fortress in the distance.
The entire outer walls of the fortress were piled up with the corpses of humans and beasts, the smell of rotting flesh was blown by the wind and rushed to the people, and the city was also ablaze, and the entire fortress was so shattered that it might not even be able to withstand a storm, and the huge white wolf had not even appeared.
When the crowd reached the bottom of the city walls, the soldiers above suddenly appeared and shouted: "Stop! ”
"Huh? It's Anka! ”
After revealing his identity, the ladder was slowly handed down from above.
"Anyway, why can't you even deal with this kind of walking corpse?" Karn asked, looking at the stunned guards around him.
"Whew!"
With a wolf howl, everyone turned their eyes to the front of the valley, and at this time, a large number of walking corpses had appeared in front of the valley because of the wolf howl and gathered around the white wolf, and Ankka climbed the lookout platform on a high place to determine more accurately whether it was the same white wolf and used the telescope placed there to take a closer look.
The white wolf's injuries have almost completely recovered, which makes Ankka a little strange, after all, the walking corpse should not have the ability to recover, and even the iceman with strong recovery power cannot continue to regenerate after being destroyed by the magic sword.
Just as Anka was standing on the lookout and thinking, the soldiers defending the city suddenly twisted and merged into a huge piece of rotten flesh that constantly emitted a foul smell, and continued to attack with slender tentacles, several heavily armored soldiers were directly caught by the tentacles because they were not prepared and swallowed into the cylindrical mouthparts full of fangs, and made the sound of armor and bones shattering when they were constantly chewed.
"Something!" Karn turned around as he was drawn to the sound and was stunned for a second by the piece of flesh before raising his gun and stabbing it away.
The spear stabbed into the flesh, but the flesh didn't feel anything, still attacking and wriggling forward.
Karn tried to draw his spear as several soldiers stepped forward to draw attention, and the hammer slammed into the flesh without causing any effective damage other than a moment of discomfort to the flesh.
Later, Karn saw that the soldiers in front of him were swept by the tentacles, and they were directly cut off by the waist, and kept wailing, and the tentacles began to attack him.
Karn then drew his spear and sword, and then used an unobtrusive swordplay, not only completely blocking the tentacle attack, but also slicing off most of the flesh with his sword, and then stabbed into the opponent's body, using the magic stored in the sword.
In an instant, the piece of meat burned directly, and then Ankka also noticed it and rushed to it.
As Ankka climbed down from the lookout, he noticed that all that was left of the scene was minced flesh and Karn standing there with a huge wriggling worm in his hand.
"What is this?" Ankka asked, noticing the strange bug in Karn's hand.
"Brain-eating worms, which can evolve the functions of those eaten parts after eating part of the host's brain, and control the host in times of crisis, but these creatures only live in distant swamps, how can they appear here?"
Another wolf howl behind them caught their attention, and the walking corpses began to advance towards the fortress.
"Brain-eating insects are afraid of fire and salt, if the monster on the other side is also controlled by brain-eating insects, then it's best to use fire, first find out if there are any remaining trebuchets and oil drums."
Karn calmly commanded the remaining soldiers, while Ankka had some respect for the calm man in front of him.
Anka thought to herself: "I didn't expect that there are such good things in the nobles!" I thought the nobles were all empty talkers. ”
Karn looked at the monsters that were burning in the distance as they were being hit by burning oil barrels, and thought to himself, "What kind of monsters are these, it's disgusting, no, I still have to keep my face paralyzed, after all, if I open my mouth in surprise, my face will crack, damn, I forgot to bring my medicine." ”
In a few moments, a semi-circular ring of fire formed in front of the fortress, and the monsters stayed in fear and lingered outside the ring of fire.
"It seems that they are indeed afraid of fire, so what now?" Ankka asked, looking at the silent Karn.
"You help me attract the monsters around the white wolf, I'll kill the white wolf, as long as I kill their commander, they will just lie on the spot and do nothing."
"Why don't I kill the white wolf?" Ankka was a little worried that the other party would also be bitten to death by the white wolf, so she proposed.
"Are you questioning me?"
Ankha felt that the other party might be angry, so he didn't continue to propose, but said that if the other party couldn't hold on, he would help.
"If we can't hold on, remember to just throw the rest of the oil drums." Karn spoke to the remaining soldiers on the wall before leaving.
Ankka, along with Karn, and a dozen heavily armored soldiers, then rode over the ring of fire and struck at the white wolf.
These heavily armored soldiers can easily dispose of some ordinary walking corpses, which allows the two of them to reach the white wolf safely, and after Ankh attracts the powerful monsters around the white wolf, Karn will have to go up and fight the white wolf alone.
Ankh quickly shredded all of these monsters with just a normal slash, and then used the flaming magic sword to completely destroy the brain-eating worms inside the corpses.
The white wolf bared its teeth and struck Karn, the great white wolf running fast and shooting hard fur as it ran.
Karn struck the white wolf in the eye with a single blow of his spear, but the white wolf turned around sharply and wrenched the spear, throwing Karn flying out, and Karn slammed into the ground and fainted.
After freeing himself from the soldier's restraints, the white wolf slowly walked towards the unconscious Karn, and just as the white wolf was about to finish Karn, Ankka jumped directly on the white wolf and used his magic sword to cut off the white wolf's head again.
This time, in order to prevent the white wolf from escaping again, Anka directly cut the wolf's head into several pieces with a single sword, and destroyed the brain-eating worm in the skull.
After that, the wolf body miraculously got up again and pounced forward.
Anka's thoughts on this situation are: "Is there that kind of bug in the body?" ”
Ankh then used his magic sword to block the white wolf's pounce, and then kept swinging his sword to slash at the white wolf who was exposing his abdomen.
Just as the white wolf was disemboweled, a large amount of carrion and food residues in the stomach all fell out.
Ankh resisted the vomiting caused by the stench and jumped up and split the white wolf in half, and the remaining walking corpses were all incapacitated after losing their heads, and they were all froze in place, and they were all cleaned up by the soldiers after a while.
"My head hurts!"
Karn covered his head and got up to see the broken white wolf, after all, he had just passed out, who did it?
"Who did this?" Karn asked, gesturing at the broken white wolf in front of him.
"It's that kid!" A soldier cleaning the battlefield pointed to Ankh, who was sitting on the ground resting.
Karn looked at the leisurely Ankha and pondered, "It seems that he is really as powerful as the legend, so how did the castle lord die under his protection?" Was it because something angered him? But those things don't matter anymore, now how to make this powerful force stand by us and tell the countries about it so that he can become an important weapon that we can use to deter other countries is the most important thing. ”
"Kid, are you hungry?"
Karn stepped forward and pulled out some jerky and soft white bread and handed it to Ankka and began to make a gesture of affection, but Ankka was a little puzzled by the sudden turn of hands.
Although Ankka didn't see anything on Karn's face, he could tell from his tone that the other party must be trying to get him to help.
Ankh then took the food and asked, "Is there anything I need help with?" ”
Karn was a little stunned by the other party's decisive question, and kept thinking, "Did you see something?" I didn't expect to be so young, and my scheming is quite heavy, do you want to tell him truthfully? No way! How can the hole cards be revealed? ”
"I just hope you can always return to the royal city with us, and even if this situation arises, we can handle it even if this happens."
Karn thought to himself, "That's right, we can gradually control him by taking him to the royal city and giving him preferential treatment to make him dependent on us." ”
Ankh's request for Karn even began to think that the other party was also parasitized by the brain-eating worm, after all, he was so arrogant when he first saw him, how could he beg himself so much now?
However, when Ankka quietly approached the other party with a flaming magic sword, he found that there was nothing abnormal about the other party, so he dispelled the idea that the other party was parasitized.
Then Ankh said, "If I can always be guaranteed to have these things to eat, I will follow you." ”
Ankha thought to herself, "After all, I don't have a place to go, and I still have good food with them." ”
After a quick brainstorming session, Karn confirmed that the other party had indeed agreed to his request, regrouped his troops, and began to prepare to return to the royal city.
"Shall we not see if there are any survivors?" Ankh asked, gesturing in the direction of the fortress.
Karn looked at the others and thought to himself, "Even if there are survivors, they must be infected, and they must not stay." ”
"Of course you can, but the weather is getting worse and worse, there may be local storms at night, so let's hurry to other forts, you guys go explore!" With that, Karn made a gesture for some of the soldiers to go inside and explore.
"Alright, let's go first!" Hearing the other party say that there would be a local storm at night, Anka could only promise the other party to hurry quickly, fortunately, the nearest fortress is not too far away, but I don't know if there is a monster there.
The soldiers who were then instructed to go inside the city walls to take out a large number of surplus oil drums and dump them on some important flammable facilities and roads, and set them on fire directly after the departure of the large army, and then wait at the major exits for a while before leaving.
