Chapter 247: Frost Wolf
The giant wolf did not attack, it scurried, its eyes were always on the eyes of the knight passing in front of him, and its eyes were full of vigilance. This scene fell in the eyes of the young man who had seen the strength of the knight, and at this time he was no longer surprised, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief. At least before himself, there was a team of knights standing in the way.
But this little peace of mind in his heart vanished when he saw a knight who was about to pass in his direction deliberately slow down the speed of the horses under him.
This knight was the one who intended to put him to death.
The young man asked himself if he was a bad person, especially in this situation where he was targeted three times and twice, and he was about to die, a nameless fire rose in his heart, and a pair of eyes that were almost on fire stared at the knight unabashedly.
It's just that the situation is stronger than the people, and as soon as he turned his gaze away, the giant wolf roared there, forcing him to take his attention back.
It was also this roar that startled the crowd into a commotion. Just when the young man lamented in his heart, "My life is at a rest", a scream suddenly sounded in his ears, and in the blink of an eye, a person who had been beside him seemed to be unable to withstand the might of the giant beast anymore, and in the surprised eyes of everyone, he broke away from the crowd and ran towards the side, and at this moment half of his body had already disappeared into the woods on the side.
Normally, if it is a herd herbivore, a gap in the defensive circle will be immediately filled by other strong members. But they are human beings, selfish people.
The wolf is a cunning animal, and in this case, instead of following the usual experience, he pursued the lone prey, but took the opportunity to leap in front of the crowd. In the next second, as if there was a response, the people with knives and sticks on the periphery were so frightened that they immediately dispersed to both sides, and the crowd was easily torn open by a giant wolf.
In the midst of the lightning and fire, the knight, who had just been in his spare time, just watched the giant wolf howl and rush into the crowd, and his whole face twitched.
These fools!
In addition to the secret hatred in his heart, he kept moving his hands, and immediately urged the horse to gallop towards the giant wolf who was rampaging through the crowd. At this moment, he only hoped that he could stand in front of the giant beast before it killed more people, and he could no longer care about the life and death of a poor man whom he only did not like.
It's just that the civilians who have not yet been trained, after this change, immediately dispersed, and were no longer under the control of those knights, and even those knights were at a loss for a while.
As soon as the defensive circle was broken, the giant wolves in other directions finally threw themselves into this slaughter field one after another with a happy roar.
Humans, who have always been known for their wisdom, were tricked by giant wolves and collapsed. The "adult" who was fighting with the giant wolf in the distance looked back and saw this scene, and his eyes were split. Seeing that several giant wolves were already surrounding him in other directions, he roared, and his body erupted with a momentum that was several times stronger than that of Fang Cai, and an abnormal flush appeared on his face.
The situation couldn't be more obvious, and the new knights were caught up in the crowd and had no time to take care of themselves. And these giant wolves seem to be deliberately gnawing off the hardest bone first, and that is himself.
Unable to support it alone, he urged the secret method without hesitation, hoping to deal with the behemoth in front of him before the other "little guys" rushed to cause trouble.
As if guessing his thoughts, the moment the momentum around him changed, the giant wolf immediately jumped out, intending to temporarily get out of the battle.
"It's useless to want to drag. ”
The knight whispered, and in an instant he swung a sword in his hand.
Before the giant wolf could react, the sword light was already approaching.
Seeing this, the knight breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and his eyes changed to a look of victory.
Deal with one, he secretly cheered up.
"Bang!"
There was an explosion, a shockwave hit, and the knight's body shook.
The smoke and dust cleared, and a tall figure that was a little smaller than the giant wolf, but more thin and tall, fell into his eyes full of horror.
It was a white wolf, with hair as white as frost all over its body, and the clear glow of the bright moon rippling in its eyes.
"Frost wolf, it's a frost wolf!"
The knight muttered to himself.
The frost wolf is a rare deviant in the giant wolf clan, a natural leader of the clan, the physique is particularly strong, and although it is from a low-level race, it is born with the ability to cast spells that only high-level demonic beasts can have, and as soon as it becomes an adult, its strength is equivalent to that of a great knight. And he himself, who has been training hard for many years, can only touch the edge of the big knight, and now he is only a high-level knight. Therefore, the moment he saw the frost wolf, he had already lost the spirit to resist, and his broadsword was taken off, and his face was full of bitterness.
Over there, after the frost wolf appeared, he only straightened the hair that had been disrupted by the knight's sword before he had just slapped the knight's sword with his forefoot, and there was no further movement.
In the distance, when the other giant wolves saw the frost wolf appear, the knights gave up resistance and no longer rushed to come, but reflexively slaughtered the humans who fled nearby, and cooperated with other giant wolves to besiege those new knights.
Seeing this scene, the high-ranking knight was discouraged, and at this time, the statute of limitations of the secret method had expired, and the momentum around him suddenly dropped, and the feeling of weakness could be seen at a glance by a discerning person.
It was at this time that a giant wolf with a particularly prominent physique and wounds everywhere came out from behind the frost wolf, limping towards the high-ranking knight with a bloodthirsty gaze.
It was the one who had just fought him.
At this moment, the enemy's eyes were very red when they saw him, and even he couldn't help but be resentful.
"Do you want to use me as a whetstone for your generals? Heh, I don't want to die like this. ”
Glancing at the frost wolf, the knight immediately turned and dismounted, picked up the broadsword that had fallen to the ground, and also charged in the direction of the giant wolf.
At this moment, as if sensing something, the frostwolf jerked his gaze and looked into the distance.
"Whew!"
It let out a long roar, and the other giant wolves immediately stopped their movements and turned to look in the direction of the frost wolf, even the one in front of the high-ranking knight.
When things changed, he was startled, and then he stopped, looking at the frostwolf on guard. Once the determination to die is gone, followed by the desire to survive, at this moment, seeing that the giant wolf clan no longer pays attention to him, he does not dare to make any more moves.
The development of events was strange - the giant wolf clan was gone, and they walked very neatly under the leadership of the frost wolf, which made him glad and a little confused.
But at this time, he didn't care so much, and immediately propped up his weak body, and ordered the few remaining new knights in the distance to start collecting the surviving civilians. It's just a mess in the valley, after the giant wolf left, the rest of the people died, the crippled, and most of the people who were still in good health also escaped to distant places, and there were only two or three big cats and kittens left here. So far, this mission to recruit soldiers has been a complete failure.
Failure is failure, anyway, this situation is a natural disaster, not a man-made disaster, even if there was no chaos in the rear before, as soon as the frost wolf appeared, they were only left to be killed, and when they said this, the superiors would not blame it.
The most important thing at the moment is to speed up the pace and rush back to the lord's rule, so as to avoid encountering other demonic beasts again, save your life, and recuperate your body.
Therefore, he is not ready to order the hunt down of those who have escaped, in the wilderness, monsters are rampant, and those guys will pay the price of being deserters with their lives.
After thinking about it, he didn't think much about it, and turned to go down in person, and clean up the battlefield with the other knights. Time was urgent, and the smell of blood might attract more demonic beasts to come, and he no longer held his identity, but only tried to speed up the speed of closing the team.
It's just that after such an investigation, he made a little unexpected discovery.
"You killed this?"
He pointed to a giant wolf that was small and had fallen to the ground. Next to the corpse of the giant wolf, there was a young man with a kitchen knife in his hand and covered in blood.
Hearing the question, the young man raised his head in a daze and said "um" in a wooden voice.
The High Knight's face was strange.
"It's a bit of a skill, whether it's a sneak attack, or good luck, since you killed it, that's your credit, cut off the wolf's head and put it on, and from now on, the rest of the civilians are under your control." ”
For him, the military exploits of a giant wolf are nothing, and handing over civilians to this young man is just throwing the mess out so that he can spare his strength to ensure the safety of other knights. It's just that these words fell on the ears of the young man, but it was like a long drought and a rainstorm.
Hearing this, the young man's eyes were full of disbelief, and his face could not suppress the look of surprise. At this moment, he didn't notice that the face of a knight in the distance who was taking in this scene suddenly distorted to the extreme. But the high-ranking knight on the side, with his keen facial features, sensed the sight that fell here in the distance. However, the moment he turned his head to look, the knight with a distorted face had already changed into a smiling face and was on his way over.
"What's the matter with you?" asked the High Knight.
"I think this little brother doesn't know how to do a good job of management, maybe someone should take him. ”
The young man's expression tightened, he didn't know what this guy was thinking, and he clearly jumped out to be a demon again. If he fell into his hands, would he be fine?, but before he could argue, the high-ranking knight spoke.
"Oh, you're kind. ”
The high-ranking knight smiled inexplicably, as if he had seen through the knight's mind, but he didn't break it. The young man's face changed, and this high-ranking knight didn't seem to mean to be on his side.
Sure enough, as if to confirm the young man's thoughts, the high-ranking knight nodded.
"Then he's yours, take it well, at least, don't lose the wolf's head. ”
This high-ranking knight regarded the knight as if he had come to snatch military merits, and even acquiesced to his plan!
But whether or not the high-ranking knights knew the knight's true thoughts, I am afraid that in the eyes of the two of them, they are all dead.
Thinking of this, the young man's face was ugly, and subconsciously, he remembered the scene that had just happened.
At that time, between life and death, he seemed to have become a ruthless killer, and in an instant, he was thoughtful and fast, and his backhand ended up with the giant wolf who had just pounced in front of him.
Is it talent? He didn't know.
I just hope that when the next life and death moment comes, I can still enter such a state.
The three of them had their own plans in their hearts, and none of them noticed that a kitchen knife stuck in the neck of the giant wolf was bleeding from it, but not a drop of blood dripped from the blade.
