Throne of the North

When Weiss, the leader of the 'Gage' clan, came to the battlefield, he tore apart the big tree next to him with his extremely angry claws.

The battlefield was in a mess, but except for the werewolf corpses, there was no human corpse. It was obvious that those humans had time to take away the corpses of their companions when they were thorough.

That was a big win.

So naturally, for the werewolf, it was a disastrous defeat.

"attack!"

"I will attack human settlements at night, and I will let them know what cruelty is!"

Weiss roared loudly.

On the other side, in the tundra territory, Ryan was relieved that the extraordinary legion had returned safely. He was also worried that the cavalry would be broken on the wrong land in the highlands.

"The war horses can no longer be used. On the battlefield of the Tundra Territory, the Buck Legion fights as infantry."

After listening to Brand's description, Lane knew that the cavalry would not be able to participate in the subsequent war, and made such a decision.

For the next two days, the atmosphere around the Tundra Territory was quiet, and everyone knew that this was the calm before the storm.

The fifth watchtower.

This is the fifth watchtower built by the Tundra Territory. It serves as Ryan's eyes to patrol the broad foothills. After Fenrir's people pledged their allegiance to Ryan, there are twenty militiamen and ten Fenrir inside this defense tower. A team of hunters composed of your people.

They each have their own strengths and are responsible for alerting the surroundings.

The fifth watchtower is the closest to Winter City, and the people inside have been very nervous in the past two days because they are not sure about the direction of the werewolf's attack.

"Maybe they will attack from the sixth watchtower, which is directly north of Winter City. Our fifth watchtower is northwest of Winter City, and it is seven miles away. There is no reason for the werewolves to come to our side."

Although this is not a good thing to say, the soldiers in the fifth watchtower still prayed like this.

"You said..."

Under the dim sky, the top of the fifth watchtower was burning with flames, which also illuminated the darkness inside the watchtower. One of the soldiers said nervously.

"Tell me, if the werewolves really attack from our side, how long can our watchtower last?"

"Don't be so clumsy!"

An older soldier scolded, but when faced with this problem, no one has a clue.

"As for your question, why not think about what Lord Ryan will give your family after you die..."

"Stop talking!"

A hunter wearing animal skins suddenly shouted coldly. His eyes narrowed and he sniffed his nose. Somewhat uncertain, he came to the window again. The window was very small, and he could only stick his head out. , he didn't do this, he just put his nose close to the outside air and sniffed.

"The smell is wrong. Mountain forests covered with snow shouldn't smell like this. The smell is too strong."

The hunter spoke out, causing everyone to move quietly. At the bottom of the watchtower in front of the ten soldiers, although the ironwood door there was tightly closed, manpower was still needed for defense.

Three of the other ten soldiers went to the top floor, seven appeared in each window, and ten hunters also came to the gap in the window, all with spears and long bows in their hands.

"No way...what if you make a mistake?"

One soldier said nervously, his palms covered with sweat.

"Stop talking and listen."

The watchtower was extremely quiet. Only the sound of the flames in the brazier pierced and buzzed in the ears, and there was nothing else.

"Everything..."

"How can there be no sound at night? Have we cleaned up the wild beasts in the forest? There is not even the sound of insects. This is not normal."

"Light up the surroundings!"

Someone screamed, and his voice reached the top of the watchtower. A soldier bent his bow and nocked an arrow, sinking the burning arrow into the trunk of a striking tree outside the watchtower.

The arrow penetrated the trunk, and the flames ignited the grease accumulated in the hollow trunk. In an instant, the entire tree burned, and the raging fire illuminated the darkness for dozens of meters around it.

Boom boom boom——

Arrows flew out one after another, and around the watchtower, at least seven big trees burned. The fire boiled, and the dark night sky was illuminated at this moment.

The soldiers in the windows of the watchtower also saw the gloomy green eyes reflected in the firelight.

"It's a werewolf!!!"

The soldier yelled and fired arrows outside without even looking.

"Ouch——"

“Send the signal!!!”

A wolf howl and the captain's frightened roar echoed through the night sky almost at the same time. At the top of the watchtower, on top of the huge crossbow, a special magic arrow lit up amidst the heavy sound of the machine. Two The soldier pushed the crossbow and pointed it towards the sky in the direction of Winter City.

Just when the soldier controlling the launch of the crossbow on the bed was about to release the mechanism, in the firelight, an extremely agile figure jumped up and stepped on the tree trunk. The tree was shaken crazily with the help of the force, and then jumped to On the trunk of another tree.

"He wants to come up!"

A soldier yelled and threw the spear in his hand, but the werewolf's speed was too fast. Even when he was flying in the air, he stepped on the thrown spear and made a second borrowing. With great strength, he jumped to the top of the watchtower.

"Stop him!"

The captain on the bed crossbow roared, the sound of the machine gun had ended, he pressed the button, and in an instant, the terrifying three-meter crossbow arrow flew out.

"roar--"

Strangely, the werewolf fell from the sky and hit the crossbow arrow. The huge force penetrated the werewolf's body and took him away into the depths of the dark forest.

But it was precisely because of the werewolf's body weight that the crossbow arrow could not fly to the sky where it should have arrived. A burst of light flashed in the dark forest, but with the mountain blocking it, the distant Winter City would never see this light.

"Is he dead?"

"Who cares if he's dead or not now? Load it quickly!"

The centurion roared angrily. They had missed the initial time, and this time might cause all of them to die here.

One second, two seconds, a full twelve seconds passed, and the second signal crossbow arrow was finally loaded. The sound of the mechanism came to the end. The centurion released the mechanism, and in an instant, the crossbow arrow shone brightly into the depths of the distance.

"Guard this place, don't let the werewolf jump up!"

The centurion got off the bed crossbow. The werewolf had already come to a close position. This thing was no longer useful. Now all they could rely on were the thirty soldiers in their fifth watchtower.

He was desperate that he and his men could only defend the watchtower and fight, and he was also glad that there were still thirty powerful soldiers in the watchtower.

Boom!!!

At the bottom of the watchtower, the tall werewolf's shoulder fiercely hit the position of the ironwood gate, and the vibrating metal brought up the mud in the stone gap.

The rebound force made the werewolf's eyes blurry, and there was a more fierce roar behind him.

"Get out of the way!"

The 'Gag' werewolf warrior rushed over from more than ten meters away. Seeing his momentum, the soldiers in the observation port of the ironwoods shouted palely:

"Hurry up, stop it!"

All ten soldiers were crowded here. They must not let the gate be knocked open. They would never be the opponent of the werewolves outside.

But——

Bang!!!

The flesh and bones collided with the ironwood door. The metal buckle connecting the door and the stone wall loosened. Two soldiers pierced the spears through the hole next to them and pierced the werewolf's body. But the next moment, a stronger force came from the front of the spear, and the injured werewolf used his body to pull out the two spears.

Inside the watchtower, the two soldiers trembled their hands wildly. During the wrestling process just now, the skin on their palms was worn off in the pulling.

The bloody hands lost some strength and retreated to the back. The rest of the soldiers pushed forward, but they did not dare to attack as before.

Bang bang bang bang bang! ! ! ! !

There were at least hundreds of werewolves outside with heavy collisions again and again. During the crazy collision, the ironwood door shook more and more violently.

"I can't hold on any longer!"

The centurion roared, and his voice was for the others above his head.

Just above the first floor, at the window, several soldiers kept shooting arrows, aiming at the werewolves attacking the gate below.

"Damn it, our arrows have too little killing power against these werewolves."

The soldiers were still accurate, and there was only one way down. The werewolves were tall, and they could be shot with their eyes closed, but there was no follow-up. The running werewolves were pierced with human arrows and still rushed towards the gate, hitting it fiercely.

"I was careless, and I didn't know until these werewolves touched me."

A hunter's heartbeat accelerated. If he could find these werewolves earlier, the crossbow on the top would become a killer.

But in the dark night, the werewolves shuttled through the mountains and forests, and no one could react.

The arrows were not lethal, unless they hit the werewolves' heads, but the werewolves were not fools, they would also avoid their vital points, and the werewolves' perception was strong enough, and there was a 50% chance that they would react the moment the arrows arrived.

Bang!

The werewolf fell to the ground during the charge. In the darkness, another werewolf rushed over, picked up the fallen werewolf and threw it behind him.

"Cunning human, I must kill you with the most cruel means."

"I will tear your chests open bit by bit, dig out your hearts and eat them!"

The werewolf roared, and five werewolves behind him rushed out, holding their chests with their claws like human hands, and rammed the gate of the watchtower with their shoulders.

"When will the support arrive?"

One of the three soldiers on the top floor of the watchtower asked.

"Don't worry about the support!"

The centurion roared, wanting to slap the head of the soldier who disturbed the morale of the army. His eyes looked into the distance, in the direction of Winter City.

It was already night, but the sky over there was a little trance, as if it was illuminated by fire.

He had a guess that Winter City was probably also facing a more terrible attack at this moment.

Boom——

With a roar, several human soldiers fell to the ground, and in their sight, the ironwood door shook, and a ferocious werewolf claw stretched out from the gap.

"The door is open."

The pale face shouted, and finally the centurion behind him with crazy eyes drew out his long sword and slashed at the claw.

"Stop them, don't let them rush in!"

"This is our only chance to survive!"

The centurion shouted, and ten soldiers blocked the first floor, and the werewolf outside rushed in violently with a wail.

...

In the cold winter, torches were thrown towards the outside of the half-level city wall, falling into the V-shaped trench and igniting the grease inside.

The soldiers on the city wall looked at the other side of the ditch with some fear, at the werewolf with long, thick hair and a ferocious head. The werewolf was forced by the flames and did not dare to attack, but they were waiting, waiting for the flames to become smaller.

"How many werewolves are there...out there?"

One soldier said tremblingly that he was just a militiaman and had never participated in a war. He was extremely frightened at this moment.

He didn't want to get the answer to his question, because he could see the densely packed tall werewolves in the shadows outside with the naked eye.

"How did they get past the watchtower? Why didn't we receive any news before?"

"Maybe... those watchtowers have been lost."

On the city wall, Harrington walked quickly on it. He was the second general of the Tundra Territory. At the same time, he also commanded the city's militia as the guard commander of Winter City.

Behind him were Wolf the wolf and Brunakis the fox.

"Will there be support from Rhinoceros Mountain?"

"Won't."

Harrington said directly:

"It's night now, we can't be sure how many werewolves there are in the dark outside, and the Buck Legion and Armored Bears need to protect the safety of Rhinohorn Mountain, which doesn't have the strong walls we have here."

"Tonight, the safety of Winter City can only depend on us."

The two people behind them were somewhat silent. Winter City's defense strength was simply not enough, and the thousands of city guards they had recruited were all trying to catch up.

"I will organize the people."

Foxpelt turned and left. This city is full of Garm's people. Although they are not all soldiers like Fenrir's people and are natural warriors, Garm's people are also struggling in the doomsday. Yes, they have fighting experience and courage.

Not just here, but in the entire Tundra Territory, there are no ordinary civilians in the strict sense. They come from all different worlds and can be warriors who take up arms.

The folk customs are strong and strong.

In each family, strong men came out, and women were waiting at the back.

And around Winter City, the flames in the trenches were extinguishing little by little. These werewolves were very smart, a little too smart.

They carried the snow in the dark night, and then threw it towards the burning trench. There was never a shortage of snow in the northern land, and they were the biggest challenger to the flames.

"Damn it, stop them!"

There were officers shouting on the city wall, but it was useless. The werewolves' agility and strength exceeded these ordinary soldiers. They could stand outside the range of humans and flood the burning trenches with snow.

The sky was somewhat dim, and in this pitch-black night, the burning flames were no longer enough to illuminate the surrounding world.

Ouch——

The werewolf raised his head and roared. He couldn't help it anymore. Seeing that the flames were no longer so high, he rushed out, jumped up, and jumped over the ditch. His claws were firmly embedded in the stone crevices, his legs were bent, and his muscles were Inflated, he raised his head ferociously and looked at the human soldiers above him. The next moment, he jumped up and tried to jump on top of the half-finished city wall.

A long sword slashed out from the shadows, cutting off the werewolf's claws, and then kicked it out. The huge force kicked the werewolf into the ditch outside the city.

The wooden spikes pierced the werewolf's body, and no matter how hard he struggled, it was to no avail.

"Don't let them rush up, this city wall is our last line of defense!"

"If we survive this night, victory will belong to us!"

Harrington roared, raising his weapon.

"For the glory of Ryan!"

"For the peace of the Tundra Territory!"

"For our own lives!"

"Kill those werewolves!"

In the dark night, densely packed werewolves began to charge, shuttling through the woods like shadows in the night. The moment they rushed out of the woods, they slew toward the light of the fire.

"kill!"

The knights stood at certain sections of the city wall. They were the tip of the spear. Without their presence, ordinary soldiers, even if they had the courage and desire to fight, would not be able to block the terrifying werewolves.

The battlefield could still maintain a clear distinction between offense and defense at the beginning, but within half an hour, when the first werewolf rushed into Winter City, the war became extremely chaotic.

More and more werewolves rushed into the human soldiers. Even the knights were constantly retreating under the attack of the werewolves. The death of a knight meant that the place where more than thirty people were located collapsed. Garm's people were stunned. In battle, they have never faced an extraordinary enemy, especially the werewolves, one of the six royal families among the orcs.

The werewolf's claws fell on them, and they were no less sharp than a metal dagger, enough to break through the animal skins of ordinary people.

The shouts of killing were deafening. In the light of the fire, humans did not need to look for them at all. Werewolves rushed at people when they saw them. The only thing they could do was that the humans facing the werewolves could hold on for a while longer and let other soldiers around them surround them and use their numbers. advantage to kill the werewolf.

"If this continues, Winter City will not be able to survive tonight."

Fox-skinned Bruni Makis has cold hands and feet. Every time he takes a shot, an arrow can penetrate a werewolf's head. No matter what the werewolf's recovery power and speed, such an injury will result in immediate death.

But because of this, he was also targeted.

There are also powerful orcs among the orcs. A werewolf ran wildly, his speed left a phantom in the dark night. He used his hind legs to kick the wall to gain momentum and jumped 50 meters away, and rushed straight towards Fox Fur.

Faced with such an enemy, Fox Fur Brune Migis could only flee. With his agile steps, he turned and entered the alley. When the werewolf approached the corner, the sharp edge of the longbow slashed out, but the next moment, the edge of the longbow was stuck on the werewolf's chin. The werewolf used his bones to block this fatal threat.

The next moment, the pain and boiling made the werewolf swing his claws.
