The cavalry gestured, and the infantry soldiers dispersed, and the cavalry reached for the Assaks' characteristic crossbow spear and pressed a prismatic thorn into the chamber. This is a typical defensive formation, with a fan-shaped step-by-step array allowing infantry fighters to deal with enemies from any direction in front. The cavalry behind would provide long-range support, and if necessary, the infantry warriors would sacrifice themselves to entangle the enemy, disengaging the most mobile cavalry in order to bring the information out.

The Twilight Forest is still quiet, and the dusk light gradually converges with the last rays of light, and night falls on the forest. The Rangers did not use any lighting, and at this time, the light could easily attract attacks. It was impossible for them to retreat at this time, and their duty required them to find out the identity of the murderer, so the team continued to advance into the forest.

Behind a piece of uneven woodland, the sound of water can be faintly heard. A stream passes through the forest, and on either side of the stream is sparsely wooded, each with an undulating meadow. On the other side of the stream is the village of the Huya clan. The clan is small in number, but every adult Huya is an excellent hunter in the forest. The corpse that the team found before was a Huya, and after seeing a hunter turn into prey, the team had lost hope in the Huya.

After all, the corpse was less than 1 kilometer away from the village, and it was impossible for the Huya people to be unaware of the killing of their people. Then there may be only one left, and the Huya people are finished.

The forest was so quiet that the soldiers' palms were already sweating under the pressure of the intense pressure. Finally, they came to the edge of the woodland by the stream. The cavalry reached out and gestured, and the squad stopped. Hiding in the woods and looking to the other end, the silhouette of the Huan village could be seen in the night. It was dark now, and there were no lights in the village, and it was eerily quiet.

Suddenly, a warrior pointed forward, and a corpse lay by the stream. The corpse lay on the ground, its hands stretched forward, as if struggling to crawl forward. It was supposed to be a Huya who had escaped from the village, but unfortunately died nearby. At this moment, two black shadows came to the corpse's side, and they each reached out and dragged one of the corpse's legs towards the village. One of the black images sensed something, and jerked its head in the direction of the team.

The cavalry had good night vision, and the reddish light of the sky sprinkled on the grass was used. He could see clearly that they were two monsters. It has a large head and humanoid body, covered in pitch-black armor leaves, and a row of bone spurs that stretch from the back of the head to the end of the tail glows. Intuition tells the knight that these guys are dangerous.

The other warriors also saw the monster's appearance, and everyone was extremely nervous, a creature that had never appeared before in the Twilight Forest. Quiet villages, the corpses of the Huyas, strange and dangerous creatures, all this shows that the black land has a new invader.

The news must be sent back.

The knight gestured for the squad to retreat. To be able to make the entire Huya village die silently, the number and strength of the invaders will not be much worse, at least not a forest patrol team can deal with it. The knight's judgment was undoubtedly correct, but unfortunately he still underestimated the intruder's ability. Just as they were about to retreat, something climbed down from the ancient tree above them.

At this time, the most keenly feeling is the knight's wolf. The wolf's nose twitched a few times, and he suddenly raised his head and let out a screech at the dim canopy above. The knight changed color and shouted, "Be careful, the enemy is above!"

The sound of breaking the air.

Black shadows swooped down from the trunk of the tree, and an infantry warrior was pounced. In his busy schedule, he saw that it was the black monster that was dragging away the corpse of the Huya on the other side of the stream. The warrior let out a low roar, and the long knife in his hand stabbed sideways into the monster's waist. As soon as the monster's long tail rolled, it jammed the sword. The blade and tail sparked a few wisps of spark, and the monster's tail was covered in black armor.

The warrior marched, and by this time the monster had already bitten his throat with one bite.

At the beginning of the battle, the forest patrol team showed a one-sided trend. The infantry warriors of the Asak clan were no match for this kind of monster at all, and the incident happened suddenly, and the four warriors either fell to the ground and were bitten to death in an instant, or let the monster tear apart. The cavalry barely fired an arrow to push back the monster that had fallen from its head. Taking the opportunity to clamp the wolf's belly, the giant wolf supported him and fled.

Behind him, three monsters chased after them, using their hands and feet together, and galloping through the forest like wild beasts, no slower than a wolf. What's even more terrifying is that whether it's fighting or chasing, these monsters are terrifyingly quiet, like cold machines.

The cavalry flipped over on the wolf, so that it was facing backwards. Shoot arrows and shoot a round of steel-edged spikes like arrows, and the Assaks' special crossbows are so powerful that they are found to pierce the trunks of hundred-year-old trees. The wolf cavalry is almost always a good horse archer, even when the wolf is galloping, it does not affect the cavalry's shooting criteria in the slightest.

The monster behind dodged a few steel ridges, but one of them was hit by an arrow in the chest, and was carried up by the huge impact of steel ridges. Flew out of the air for more than a meter, and when he fell, he couldn't move. The steel ridge is right at the core of it.

There are still two monsters.

In hot pursuit, the two monsters suddenly bounced up and hugged their heads in mid-air. The long tail is stretched and rolled up to the forehead, and after being connected from end to end, it quickly rotates to form a wheel covered with bone spurs on the periphery. The spikes spun and their speed skyrocketed, and they skimmed the ground. It bounced up as it passed a low slope and staggered towards the wolf cavalry. The cavalry dodged one, but was hit by the second stabbing wheel, and the whole man flew out of the wolf.

A cloud of blood was sprinkled in midair, but it was the thick back of the cavalry that ploughed a blood groove into the monster's bone spurs.

The knight bounced off as soon as he landed, and the wolf snapped back and roared at one of the monsters.

"Let's go, Sen!" cried the knight.

Each wolf was raised by cavalry, which was a method of training giant wolves for the Asaks. The giant wolf trained in this way will have a deep relationship with the knight. The giant wolf is not a simple mount for the cavalry, and sometimes the relationship between the two is more like that of a partner or even a relative.

For the first time, a giant wolf named Mori defies the knight's orders and pounces on a monster. The monster spun to meet it, and the wolf bounced away. After a few spins around the wheel, the giant wolf was disemboweled. The knight was furious, but there was still a monster in front of him.

There was a small sound in the woods, and the knight leaned against the trunk of an ancient tree and looked around. At some point, more black shadows appeared in the forest, and they were so dense that they looked like a black wave that was about to drown the Twilight Forest. The knight took a deep breath and pulled out a special arrow from behind his waist: "Come on, bastards. ”

The two monsters lunged at the cavalry at the same time, and instead of shooting the arrow in his hand, the knight pushed his own energy into the arrow. The arrow suddenly burst into crimson light, and the next moment, there was a loud explosion in the forest. The flames of the explosion erupted into the air at a height of dozens of meters, revealing the sea of forests. At night, you can see it even from a distance.

The watchtower of the Asak village easily saw the fire, and a warrior immediately reported the situation to the patriarch Gog. A moment later, Gog was standing on one of the watchtowers. As far as the eye can see, the fire in the forest sea is gradually extinguishing. Gog thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, "Notify all the teams to come back." ”

One by one, the falcons were released, and they brought messages from Gog. After receiving the message, the forest patrol team withdrew from the patrol area and returned to the village in the dark. However, when the number of people was counted, Gog found that some of the squads had not returned, and that there had been several explosions in the forest in a row. The visions weighed on Gog's heart, and the wolf cavalry let him go out as a scout, patrolling the woodlands around the village. Even so, a sense of unease still hung in the patriarch's heart.

Gog came to the village altar, where there were fires flickering on either side of the altar. The dim light cast shadows on the priest's crumpled face. The priest looked preoccupied, and when Gog came behind him, the priest whispered, "Something terrible is about to happen, Gog. ”

"Did you get any hints from your ancestors?"

"Communicating with the souls of ancestors is also deceiving those ignorant little ghosts, you are already past that age, aren't you?"

Gog sat down and said with a wry smile, "Sometimes I'd rather be that little ghost who has a reverence for the souls of my ancestors. ”

"Awe doesn't have to come from the ethereal talk of ghosts, it comes from the heart, my patriarch. The priest turned and said, "Although I do not have the power to communicate with the soul, I do not have the power of yours. But the old stuff isn't useless, at least it's still useful. ”

Pointing to his head, the priest said, "Patriarch, maybe you should consider evacuating the people who are not capable of fighting. Let me guess, we've lost more than 10 rangers, haven't we? It already shows that the forests are no longer friendly, and many places are out of our control. I always felt like a big net was coming around us. ”

"Before this net envelops us like birds in a trap, Patriarch, you should consider my previous proposal. While it's still too late. ”

Gog nodded, "I see, priest." You should also prepare and leave with everyone. ”

The Asak village came alive with activity, and old men, women, and children began to evacuate the village. Gog asked his son Dima to lead the team, leading twenty wolf knights and two hundred foot warriors to protect the clansmen. They will bypass the Poison Mountains and pass through the Thorn Jungle into the Sacred Mountain region. Gog released two falcons at the same time, one of which would fly to the Amandan village to inform Bajin to pick up his people. The other flies directly to the Sanctuary and informs the Sanctuary of the Assack migration and the situation in the Twilight Forest.

When he had done all this, Gog picked up his half-man-high crossbow and sat cross-legged on the ground facing the village gate. Until the people have safely evacuated, Gog will never leave the village even half a step. It is the responsibility of the patriarch to protect the clansmen.

Under the moonlight, the Kuroshio Current, like an undercurrent in the sea, is approaching the village. Gog could feel that the breath in the air was becoming more and more oppressive. Finally, a detachment of wolf cavalry returned to the village. The leader of the team was Abe, who was the first to challenge Zero that day, and Abe turned over from under the wolf and went to the ground, stepped forward and said, "Patriarch, here." ”

"How many are there?"

"A lot, and, besides, those things are monsters. Abe corrected.

Gog stood up and said loudly, "Whether it's a blood rider or a monster, we Assaks have never flinched. Warriors, take up your swords, we must keep these damned things here so that our people can leave in peace. ”

All the Asaks raised their crossbows or swords and roared loudly.

"Prepare for battle. Gog strode towards a watchtower, crossbow in hand.

All the watchtowers in the village were already crowded with warriors, most of whom had sharp machetes in their hands. Only elite wolf riders are able to wield powerful crossbow guns. All the steel edges used for the ballista were removed from the storeroom, and ten bags were placed at the feet of each wolf rider. More infantry warriors gathered behind the gate, and the huge stakes they held together were lifted by them and placed diagonally on the gate to resist the onslaught of the enemy.

Gog calmly pressed a steel edge into the chamber of the crossbow gun, and he looked out at the grass outside the village. The torches erected on all sides illuminated the grass outside the village in a fiery red, and in the red light, it was faintly visible that black shadows began to appear in the forest on the other side of the meadow.

The crossbow was pointed in the direction of the woods, and Gog's voice echoed in the ears of every Asak: "Don't rush to attack, Warriors of Asak. Make sure that every shot you shoot hits the enemy, after all, we are no richer than the Amandas, and we have limited ammunition. But we don't lack the courage to let these miscellaneous people know that they have picked the wrong opponent!"

The patriarch's words calmed down the warriors, who were still a little nervous, and Gog aroused the courage in their hearts, and everyone felt that a fire was burning in their bodies. The flames will illuminate the darkness, and the warriors of the Asaks are fearless!

The enemy is coming!

A guard swooped out of the woods first, and while his body was still flying in the air, a steel ridge appeared as if out of thin air. Suddenly, it flashed before its eyes, and it was nailed into its head. The guard flew backwards into the woods, and then a sharp sound of breaking through the air rang out.

Gog shook the crossbow gun in his hand and said loudly, "Look, they're not that scary. ”

The patriarch made a big move, which greatly encouraged the Asaks. Next, one after another, the guards pounced out of the forest, and the distance between the forest and the village was three hundred meters. These 300 meters have become the territory of the Grim Reaper. The wolf knights of Asak shoot out steel edges of lightning, each of which is sure to hit a guard. The destructive power of the steel ridge is enough to pierce through the steel plate within 300 meters, blasting through the guard's sturdy armor blades.

The guards were shot almost as soon as they could get out of the woods, and the farthest of them ran only about a hundred meters. However, as the number of guards increased, the line of death formed by the power of the Assaks was moving towards the village, and the black waves that poured out of the forest were endless, and the endless stream of guards was intimidating.

Even Gog looked nervous, the number of intruders exceeded his estimates.

Another arrow strung the two guards together and nailed them to death, and Goge cursed secretly: "Damn, where did such a ghost thing come from?" ”

The corpses of the guards were gradually approaching the high walls of the village, and if they had relied on the wolf knights alone, they would have been able to approach the high walls in just five minutes. What's more, during this time, the steel edges of the Asaks will shoot into the air. Fortunately, after the last Albert incident, the Asaks had been prepared to prevent the same attack.

At Gog's orders, the infantry warriors pushed some of the barrels over. Each barrel was half a man's height and contained explosives made by the Asaks. There was a fuse left outside the barrel, and when the soldier lit it, he pushed the barrel out of the open side door of the village. The barrel rolled towards the guards, and after about a hundred meters, the fuse burned out and the explosives exploded.

Several fireballs rose from outside the village, and the violent shock wave shook most of the guards away, and the power of the explosion covered a radius of twenty meters. Despite being a homemade explosive, the power is not weak at all. The guards at the heart of the explosion were directly blown to pieces, and the ones on the edge of the explosion were also killed and injured by the blast wave. After five or six barrels of explosives exploded, the guards fell in pieces, and the occasional lucky guy passed through the explosion point and was greeted by a crossbow from a wolf rider.

"Tastes good, offal!" roared Gogg, then at the wolfriders, "Boys, greet them with bursting arrows!"

Burst arrows are special arrows filled with gunpowder with a fuse at the end of the arrow. Once ignited, the fuse burns through the arrow's hollow pipe all the way to the arrow. The most pointed arrow is filled with gunpowder, and a violent explosion will be detected. At the same time, the explosion causes the arrow to splash with a round of fragments, causing more damage.

Under the dual attack of bursting arrows and barrels of explosives, explosions continued outside the village, and the guards left corpses behind. The latecomers changed their attack patterns, and they were connected from end to end, like a spinning wheel. Advance at a faster pace to evade the Asaks' attacks. As he saw the flywheels slamming through the flames and slamming against the gates and walls, Gog knew that he couldn't kill the monsters as easily as he had done before.

The patriarch roared and jumped off the guard tower with his crossbow in hand. Gog landed on his feet and sent a shockwave with him, sending several guards flying. He used all four hands to nail two of the monsters together at close range with his crossbow gun, and then pulled out the steel ridge as a short spear, and volleyed into one of the guards, and smashed it to the ground, nailing it to the ground.

Gog roared, "Boys, the time has come to fight hard. ”

The side doors of the village opened, and the infantry warriors poured out from both sides, meeting the guards who were constantly rushing out of the fire curtain. As soon as it touches, it collides with blood-colored waves!

From the sky, there was not just one firelight in the Twilight Forest, there were several other fires in other parts of the forest besides the Asaks' village. The guards from the coastline are invading the Black Lands at the same time in several rear forces, but the Assaks have received more guards.
