The Witcher: Elemental Lords

Victor entered the village and quickly saw the true situation. There were indeed over a hundred wolves, seemingly charging directly from the ridge. By this time, half of the wolf pack had entered the village.

Victor and a few others beside him hid to the side for a brief discussion and decided to charge in from the side of the ridge.

The people of Erdao Bridge didn't see Victor and the others at this time. The ridge was too large, and they were focused on fighting the wolves, so no one paid attention to this side.

They had already lost seven or eight people, and the rest were all wounded, making for an exceptionally tragic scene. Angry roars, shouts, and cries came from all directions.

This pack of wolves charged in while they were eating. To deal with these damned things, they didn't even have time to worry about the houses and could only kill the wolves first, which is why the houses caught fire.

Town Chief Moses was currently charging ahead, using his broadsword to block, thrust, and slash, taking the lead and holding off the most formidable forest wolves. Each of these wolves was enormous. A sword strike would, at most, draw a bloody gash, but it couldn't inflict serious damage. The only real threat to them was the archers in the watchtower.

However, at this time, everyone was preoccupied with their own survival, and they simply couldn't organize an effective defense.

Just then, he saw that the wolf pack in front suddenly became chaotic. So, he swung his sword to force back the few wolves in front and jumped onto the roof of a nearby house.

He saw that several people had come from the foot of the mountain at some unknown time and were attacking the wolf pack from the side. After taking a closer look, Moses was overjoyed. It was Victor, a high-level warrior apprentice!

He saw him casually slash down a forest wolf with a single sword strike. The broadsword in his hand danced, directly cutting into the wolf pack with tremendous power.

"When did this guy become so powerful? Is he about to reach the entry-level?" Moses didn't have time to mutter to himself. He immediately shouted towards the back, "The brothers from Sanhekou Town are here! The wolf pack is in disarray! Archers, immediately grab your bows and get on the roofs!"

His shout made the atmosphere even more tense.

Some people dropped their swords and retreated to retrieve bows, while others desperately created space for the archers to operate. The few sharpshooters in the village immediately had room to display their skills.

Swish, swish, swish.

Several swift arrows shot down, and forest wolves immediately fell to the ground, never to rise again.

Moses raised his broadsword, jumped down from the roof, and charged towards Victor's direction. Earlier, to conserve his strength, he hadn't deliberately used his power. Now, there was no need to conserve. He chopped off the head of a forest wolf with a single sword strike, his muscles bulging, clearly using some unknown martial skill.

His feet swayed, and he continuously slashed in all directions. In a short time, he injured four or five forest wolves in one breath, but his strength also reached its limit. He paused and gasped for breath.

At this moment, Victor arrived. He suddenly leaped up and slashed his sword in front of Moses. A wolf was quickly dismembered.

Victor looked at the panting Moses and immediately shouted, "Where's the wolf king?"

Moses took a deep breath and pointed in the direction of the ridge, "Over there."

Victor slashed down a forest wolf that was trying to sneak attack him and looked towards the mountain.

On the mountainside, a mighty forest wolf, larger than the other forest wolves, stood on a high rock, coldly watching the foot of the mountain. It was motionless, as if it were a god, surveying the human world. That familiar gaze immediately reminded him of the forest wolf that had attacked the village last time.

It was this guy.

Victor itched with hatred, but then he was shocked. He looked at the surrounding forest wolves. There weren't this many wolves last time. The wolf pack had grown stronger. It seemed that the situation in the mountains wasn't good this winter.

He jumped directly up and, along the ridge, charged towards the mountain. His strength was immense. With each sword strike, the forest wolves suffered broken bones and tendons. The wounds immediately split open, revealing the bloody flesh. The qi and blood in his body surged, almost forming a circle of bloody mist around him.

Moses was stunned when he saw Victor's figure. This guy, is he really about to reach the entry-level?

...

At the edge of the pipeline, Dolay and Merkel had already stopped, standing beside the carriage, watching the slaughter on the opposite bank of the river.

Dolay already knew Victor's strength. This guy, as expected of someone about to reach the entry-level, his strength is powerful. One sword for each ordinary forest wolf, his attacks are very ruthless. This ordinary wolf pack, the wolf king is also about to reach the entry-level demon beast, similar to Victor.

He charged in alone, disrupting the wolf pack. Coupled with the townspeople of Erdao Bridge, the situation quickly stabilized and slowly began to organize a counterattack.

These are just ordinary wolf packs. As long as one or two people can stabilize the situation, they can be repelled.

In winter, the wolf packs in the mountains are also consuming themselves. They must reduce the number of the group to maintain the survival of the large group, otherwise all the wolves will starve to death. This is the law of survival in the forest.

These are all seen from books.

Soon after, a loud 'da da da' sound rang out on the official road. Hundreds of majestic soldiers came from the official road, their steps uniform and full of murderous aura, heading straight for Erdao Bridge.

When passing by, they just glanced at Dolay's carriage and rushed into the village.

Immediately, the sound of the second round of fighting came. This time, the battle ended very quickly, and the wolf packs quickly fled into the mountains.

Dolay also saw the real soldiers. They seemed to be fighting purely for killing. Their combat power was much stronger than ordinary villagers. The armor on their bodies was not afraid of being bitten by ordinary wolves, and the weapons in their hands were even more sophisticated. Ordinary soldiers could also slash down a forest wolf with a few swords.

What if he faced the soldiers?

Dolay thought carefully and shook his head. He would definitely be instantly killed unless he reached the entry-level and occupied a geographical advantage to drag this group of soldiers to death. If possible, he must not be exposed, Dolay thought.

Time passed slowly. Before long, the fire in the town was extinguished, and Victor also walked out from the bridge. Everyone was fine, at most with some injuries.

Dolay then discovered that Victor's face was not very good, but full of worry.

From discovery to the present, more than an hour had passed, and everyone seemed to have passed several days, full of exhaustion.

Back beside the ox cart, Victor waved, signaling everyone to set off.

Dolay also followed behind, moving forward slowly.

Before long, Victor came to his side, with a worried face, and said, "Lin Rui, I know you are knowledgeable, help me analyze it."

At this time, Merkel was also beside him. He perked up his ears, still wondering, isn't this guy a doctor?

Victor told the story of encountering the wolf king just now.

Dolay lowered his head, thought for a moment, and then slowly said, "This winter's snow is particularly heavy. Under the heavy snow cover, rodents and many shrub animals will be covered by heavy snow, and herbivores will also starve to death in large numbers. Whether it is forest wolves or gray wolves, they will be in a situation where there is no food. They come to attack the village for two reasons: one is to eat, after all, we humans are also on their food list, and the second is to consume the number of wolf packs. They themselves grew up in the mountains and can advance and retreat, but we will not go deep into the mountains, which gives them many opportunities to use."

Victor was a rough man. He could understand Dolay's words as soon as he heard them, and his face changed slightly.

He said, "That's true. Last time our village was attacked, there were only more than sixty wolves. Now their wolf pack has grown to more than one hundred. It is very likely that they have absorbed other wolf packs. Last time they attacked our town, now they are attacking Erdao Bridge Town. It is estimated that they will attack other towns in a few days, after all, the entire mountainous area is their territory."
