Mercenaries and Adventurers

On the side of the rocky mountain pass, as a large group of northern wolves were forced back by the rolling boulders, the female knight and the wolf king, who had been fighting continuously, also gradually retreated cautiously towards their opponents after a high-speed staggered attack.

The Wolf King shook his head fiercely from side to side, staring at the human knights standing still on horseback, and observing the situation of the wolves. As it shook its head several times, it could clearly see the timid appearance of the wolves, which made it very dissatisfied. It grabbed the ground with its claws and made a mess on the wet ground.

And Knight Lanisa naturally heard the sound of the boulder falling to the ground just now. She sat upright on the horse, carefully observing the Wolf King, and paying attention to the retreating wolves at the entrance of the passage with the corner of her eyes.

"Haha. Good job." She muttered, pulled the reins, then gently knocked the horse's belly, slowly increasing the distance from the Wolf King.

-

The knight came to the entrance of the passage and found that the boulder that fell from the rock wall had broken into several large pieces when it hit the ground, but it would not block the entry and exit of her horse.

But this also means that the next time the wolves come in and out, the obstacles will naturally not be great.

After coming in, she saw that Kiel was carrying back the scattered pieces of the Northland wolf carcass. Others were either defending on the wooden wall, or helping to carry the carcass on the simple wooden bridge for entry and exit.

When she glanced around, she found no one there, which was a relief. The siege of the Northern Wolves should naturally be the strongest at the beginning, after all, they are the largest in number, and as they resist layer by layer, the offensive will naturally decrease as the number decreases.

Since the first wave has been blocked, as long as the Wolf King does not attack them later, the entire battle will naturally be under the control of their humans.

Seeing the female knight returning, everyone gathered around to ask about the battle with the Wolf King just now.

The Ordinary Northern Wolves have already gained confidence, so naturally the rest depends on whether Lanissa Knight can live up to expectations.

Knight Lanisa jumped off the horse, then took out a grindstone from the horse's shoulder bag, and rubbed the tip of her metal spear with the grindstone: "It's okay. I can only say that the thing hasn't been taken out yet." Ability. But so do I. We are all in the same league, it just depends on who’s physical strength or body can’t hold on first.”

"Sir Knight, I saw that the wolf king seemed to be very hot around him. Could it be the same as the weird northern wolf before? It would cause trouble during the battle." As Kil said, he put the frozen wolf on his gloves. Rub the blood ice crystals away.

Knight Lanisa waved her hand: "The Wolf King is not that hot. Hey, I guess that may be a specialized ability. And that is an adult wolf. Last year, we did not find any northern wolves. With this kind of ability, looking at it this way, it must be something created by the Wolf King."

Speaking of this, Knight Lanisa concentrated on polishing the tip of her spear. The tip of this spear had already appeared several dents from the collision with the Wolf King's sharp claws.

After a simple grinding, Knight Lanisha jumped up to the side of the mountain and observed the pack of northern wolves retreating to the edge of the forest. She found that there was no change in the number of adult northern wolves that appeared outside.

She looked down again and found that the wolf carcasses piled up at the bottom of the inside of the wooden wall were mostly young wolves whose size was no different from that of ordinary wolves.

She shook her head and jumped down.

The female knight carefully looked at the physical condition of the hunters and mentally calculated the approximate number of corpses of the young wolves. "Everyone, please retreat to the second wooden wall. The ones here are all the corpses of young wolves, and their main fighting force, the adult wolves, are still there. Set fire to both the wooden wall and the wolf corpses, and let's take a moment."

Kil calculated the time and realized that it was still morning. If he retreated now, tonight would be very difficult. He even hoped that the first wooden wall could be lit up at night to hinder the northern wolves.

Therefore, Kil quickly told Knight Lanisa what he meant.

Knight Lanissa put her spear on the ground: "So Kil, do you think this is better? But it will be difficult to survive today during the day. I have to drag the Wolf King outside the battlefield." After saying this, she looked at the passage The boulder fell to the ground: "Besides me, the only boulder that can cause harm to it has already been used. If it actively kills you because of the loss of the wolf pack, it will still be difficult for us to cause harm to it."

An old hunter said: "If the battle between the Lord Knight and the Wolf King takes place in the passage, the terrain is narrow and we have no place to dodge. As long as it rolls up and down the passage twice, everyone will be knocked down and finished."

Kil rubbed his hands and found it difficult. Previously, the northern wolves only sent wolf cubs to launch the first wave of attacks, which was far beyond his expectations. What does this mean? This shows that for the Wolf King, the importance of eradicating Knight Lanissa and her subordinate hunters is far greater than the lives of the descendants of the group.

Just when Kil felt that he didn't know what to say, the hunters saw Knight Lanisa's intention of asking them to light the wooden wall in advance. In fact, everyone had no idea, so they didn't want to give up the first wooden wall like this. They also feel that it is not the right time yet.

After all, it was still morning, and the battle just now was intense but short-lived, and only a short time passed. If they just retreated to the back, even though there were five wooden wall defensive lines behind them, they did not have enough confidence to hold on.

The hunters also expressed these concerns to Knight Lanessa, letting the knight know the thoughts of the hunters, who were the main force in the battle.

"Okay, let's endure it again. If we can hold it, we can retreat. But this time we have to arrange the metal clamps in front of the second wooden wall." After thinking about it, Knight Lanisha finally made the decision Decide.

Kil hurriedly and the young hunters laid out the metal clips that had not yet been scrapped in front of the second wooden wall behind them, while the old hunters broke up the excess wood and piled it between the bottom of the wooden wall and the wolf carcass for later convenience. Light quickly.

When everyone was almost finished, the northern wolves outside seemed to launch a second wave of attacks.

-

This time, all the northern wolves ran out of the forest. They boldly walked around the entrance of the rock passage from both sides to the entrance, not giving humans a chance to shoot arrows.

At this time, the direct distance between the large group of northern wolves and Kiel and the others was no more than thirty meters, which was really dangerous.

Knight Lanisa jumped on her horse, jumped out of the wooden wall, and looked at the hundreds of northern wolves on both sides of the entrance of the passage as if they were nothing. She quickly rushed towards the wolf king in the middle of the pack.

Different from the previous battle, at this time a white shadow was floating in the sky next to the Wolf King, but that thing was a pure white wolf skin that was one size smaller than the Wolf King at this time.

The wolf's skin was empty, its white hair fluttering in the cold wind, and there was a huge gash in the thing's abdomen that was obviously torn open.

"Have you finally shown some skills?" Knight Lanisa was not afraid, because the white wolf skin floating next to the Wolf King also had many signs of destruction, large and small.

Some are half-meter long marks cut by sharp blades, and there are also multiple marks of stabbing and cutting with spears.

"You only took out one skin, why don't you take out all your skins? Ha! How effective do you think these bluffing measurements can be?" As soon as Knight Lanisa finished speaking, she accelerated her war horse and turned Ninety percent of his mind was on the Wolf King, and the other half was paying attention to the Wolf King's old wolf skin floating in the air.

During the high-speed charge, she muttered: "The monster's strange tricks."

The wolf king obviously understood the provocative words of the human knight. Its eyes filled with murderous intent stared at the knight, but its legs and feet directly lowered and jumped back. Instead, it jumped back more than forty meters.

Knight Lanisa chased after him, completely ignoring the northern wolves running past on both sides of the horse. The northern wolves next to him were also quite afraid of the human knights, and their low bodies contained deep hatred and pain.

-

"The Lord Knight is at war with the Wolf King, everyone is ready, they are coming!" Kil shouted loudly, his breathing was rapid, his eyes were blood red, and the effect of the red-eyed mushroom had already taken effect.

He pulled out the long sword from his waist with his left hand, and grasped the wooden shaft of the spear with his right hand. His eyes were fixed on the first broken boulder that climbed over the entrance of the passage and roared at the northern wolf.

It's an adult northern wolf.

No, there are wolf cubs nearby.

It seems that the Wolf King still has no intention of investing all his combat power at this time.

That's right, if after killing these knight subordinates, only the adult wolf can slightly hinder Knight Lanissa in the battle between them, maybe the Wolf King still has this plan, so he is not here. At this time, all the main forces are put into the battle.

Perhaps it also expected that before the hunters ran out of arrows or stamina, those bows and arrows would always bring losses that ordinary northern wolves could not accept.

Adult wolves are much more cunning than young wolves, and can even be said to be cold-blooded.

They are accompanied by a young wolf, or in other words, they hide beside the young wolf. When the hunters on the wooden wall fired the first wave of arrows, these cunning guys slowed down a little and hid sideways behind the young wolf running in front of them.

Without the obstruction of the metal clip, the first wave of arrows from the hunters was not effective. Although all the arrows hit the northern wolf due to the narrow rock passage, the arrows that were deadly before were not effective this time. At that time, he could only shoot and injure the northern wolves, and none of them was hit at all.

"Kiel! Here we come!" A young hunter shouted.

Kil responded in a low voice: "Got it!" In the surprised eyes of the hunters, he stabbed an adult Northland wolf that was trying to climb sideways from the rock wall directly with his long spear and nailed it to the rock wall. .

Poof, boom.

Letting go of the spear, Kil grabbed it from behind, swung it sideways, threw the ax with both hands, and split a northern wolf with the same intention on the other side of the passage in half, and then hung it on the rock wall with blood and flesh flowing.

"Well done Kil!" This move not only boosted the fighting spirit of the old hunters, but also surprised and shocked the northern wolves who came over one after another.

Kil moved the long sword from his left hand to his right hand, then took off the metal shield behind his left shoulder and put it on his left arm and held it tightly.

White light lingered on the long sword, and the shield was light and tough. To the surprise of the hunters, Kil jumped directly from the wooden wall.

"Uh, Kiel is crazy! As soon as the Northern Wolf attacked, he jumped down again!" Just as the hunters were about to support Kiel, they heard Kiel shouting from below: "Keep shooting, don't worry about me! "

Immediately afterwards, Kil's next battle surprised the hunters on the wooden wall.

As soon as Keir landed, three northern wolves pounced on him.

Keir instantly dodged a step to the right, passing the adult northern wolf on the far left. Then the shield blocked the adult northern wolf that was also charging head-on, while his long sword struck hard at the northern wolf pup on the right.

The young wolf was vulnerable to a blow, and Keir's long sword struck down hard, directly smashing the young wolf's head into pieces, breaking the young wolf's seemingly ferocious roar into two halves right in the middle.

Killing the northern wolf, Kiel hit the left rear without looking, squeezing the adult northern wolf at the bottom of the wooden wall.

Boom, he blocked another wolf claw swing from the northern wolf in front of him, and the leather on the front of the metal shield could no longer hold up, exposing the silver-white metal underneath.

The wolf's claws were not hard enough and not strong enough. After the swipe, not a single trace was left. The long sword was retracted, placed horizontally against the upper edge of the shield, and then retreated far back.

To retreat is to fight back.

Kil ignored the northern wolf leaning against him, scratching and biting behind him. The wide waist made it unable to open its mouth, so it had to use its thick canine teeth to try to bite under Kil's armpit.

As soon as the northern wolf in front of Kil finished his swing, he stabbed the tip of his sword along the shield.

The target was the bright yellow eyes of the Northern Wolf. In Keir's eyes, everything around him was not very fast. In the bright eyes of the Northern Wolf, it only took a short time for the wild ferocity to turn into fear.

The sword covered in white light brushed against the shield and stabbed into its eye socket bit by bit. The eyes that were originally like gems were pierced and torn, and the tip of the sword that was more than ten centimeters long was inserted into it.

Kil even seemed to see white light spilling from the open mouth of the Northern Wolf. It doesn't seem to be the case, it is indeed the case.

The northern wolf's other eye had lost its luster, which pleased Keel.

He boldly let go of the handle of the long sword and touched the dagger at his waist with his right hand. Then he turned sideways and lowered his head to see that he was eye-to-eye contact with the frightened Northern Wolf.

Their eyes met, but Kil's hand did not stop. At this extremely close distance, he inserted the entire dagger into the Northern Wolf's ear.

After some stirring, the northern wolf also calmed down.

Regardless of the dagger, Kil reached out and grasped the handle of the long sword in front of him, kicked with his left foot, and pulled out the long sword to hunt.

At this time, the slow sounds of surprise from the hunters came from the wooden wall behind them.

Keir didn't have time to say a witticism or anything else to his companions above, as multiple northern wolves appeared in front of him.

One had an arrow in its leg, one in its back, one in its belly, and one lodged in its head.

Kil didn't care, and accelerated with strides, knocking over a young wolf, causing the arrow on its head to completely penetrate into its head, making a new friend with the brain inside the wolf's head.

The adult northern wolf next to him rushed at him. Kil saw that the arrow was hit in the leg of the opponent. His body was not flexible. He took half a step around, cut off the front legs of the northern wolf with his sword, and then ignored the northern wolf. Earth wolf.

The other two northern wolves crossed Kiel and were climbing up and down under the wooden wall.

"Kiel catch it!"

Just then, on the side of the wooden wall and rock wall, a young hunter just finished shooting the quiver at his waist, so he had his hands free. When he was fighting under Kir, he pulled out Kir's spear from the rock wall. come out.

Kil looked at the spear thrown from the air, and he handed the long sword to his left hand and held it upside down. Then catch the spear accurately.

Putting the tail of the gun on the ground filled with blood frozen into ice crystals, Kil tilted the spear to one side and pressed the tip of the spear against the belly of the young wolf standing on the back of the adult wolf.

Stepping on the tail of the gun with his left foot, Kil tensed his arms and fell backwards.

The young wolf, which had just put its front paws on the wooden wall, felt a pain in its stomach before it could bite any human, and then it flew up in the clouds.

It looked down and saw that it had been lifted up by the human spear on its belly.

"Woooooooo!" It howled in surprise, and then was thrown away by Kil, and fell heavily to the ground.

Kil leaned the spear against the wooden wall, passed the long sword in his left hand to his right hand, and then blocked the claw of the adult northern wolf underneath that was originally used as a meat ladder.

Swinging his right arm backward, he then slashed forward with great force.

Behind the northern wolf is the human wooden wall. It has no way to retreat, and in the end it can only pounce on Kiel.

Boom boom.

It was slashed horizontally in mid-air, and half of its ribs were chopped off. You can even see the beating heart inside from the wound that is filled with white light.

The northern wolf fell to the ground and turned sideways, clawing and pulling with its limbs, but immediately after, its head was stepped on by the feet of a human wearing something hard.

Then the cold metal stretched into the body along the wound.

It felt as if its heart was cold, as if it had swallowed a large piece of crushed ice.

After a few seconds, it gradually became weak and closed its eyes.

Kil killed the northern wolf and turned to look at the entrance of the passage.

"Great job! Keep up with Kil!" On the other side of the wooden wall, another young hunter threw Kil's two-handed ax down with both hands.

Kil reversed his sword and thrust it into the ground, then reached out and took the axe.

The ax thrown from the wooden wall was quite powerful. Kil took it with one hand and did not resist. He turned around in a circle and then let go. The ax flew sideways again.

woo woo woo woo.

The blue ax head of the two-handed ax made a terrifying wolf howling sound. It was obviously not very fast, but it gave everyone in the rock passage a feeling of suffocation.

The adult northern wolf that was targeted by Kiel when he threw the ax had lowered his body and tried to avoid the axe, but no one expected that the blue surface of the ax bloomed with a layer of blue light, and the few words originally printed on it bloomed. The images of monsters and beasts mixed together and made their roars.

The sound was so weird that it actually controlled the ax to change the throwing arc, and suddenly hit the head of the northern wolf who was originally planning to lower his body.

The hard skull of the northern wolf is like the mud that children play in. When it is smashed by it, the flesh and bones are scattered everywhere.

The strong and powerful body of the northern wolf seemed to be made of water. When it was hit by it, its internal organs and fur flew away.

The flying speed of the ax continued unabated, making weird random turns and hitting left and right.

Kiel, the hunters on the wooden wall, and the boreal wolves. They all stopped at this moment.
