Volume three blood and fire chapter one hundred and sixty-five wolves
Eloise couldn't help but sing the songs of the Shire. He knew that this trip was one step closer to returning to the Shire.
"Let's go!" Elos turned his attention away from the south and turned to the road to the west.
The road that seems to be very short actually takes a long time. As the saying goes, it is like running to death while looking up the mountain.
In the evening, the gray remaining light of the setting sun faded quickly, and the group temporarily stopped and waited for the night to fall.
Everyone was a little exhausted physically and mentally, the mountains were covered in the gradually falling dusk, and the wind was strong and cold.
Iloth let everyone eat and drink the dry food and honey wine of the high elves.
"It seems that we can't continue our journey tonight. Haste makes waste, and we have to rest here." Ilos looked at the tired Ekaterina.
Even though Yekaterina was riding on the back of a druid who took turns transforming into a beast such as a giant bear or a cheetah, walking in the rugged mountains was still very tiring, and even some relatively weak druids were unable to bear it.
.
Although the straight-line distance is about sixty miles, most of the time we are climbing or descending the mountain. The actual distance can reach more than one hundred miles, not to mention the difficult mountain road.
After hearing Ilosu's instructions to arrange a rest, Ekaterina relaxed as if relieved.
She was very ashamed because she had delayed everyone's schedule. Although she didn't know how many enemies there were, stopping to rest undoubtedly increased the risk.
No matter how powerful Ilosu is, he may not be able to take good care of everyone when facing a large-scale battle, and someone will definitely die because of it.
"Let's set off after a short rest. The exhaustion of traveling is better than the pain of fighting!" What Elos said was unanimously recognized by everyone. No one wanted to fight to the death with those dark races.
After hearing these words, everyone took the time to take a short rest and eat.
They could hear the wind blowing through the rocks and woods, making harsh and shrill sounds in the night.
Suddenly, Elos jumped up. He sensed the incoming enemies, and they were huge in number:
"This is not the howling of the wind! This is the howling of wild wolves! They are approaching us! Get ready to fight!"
Everyone climbed to the top of a hill, surrounded by a circle of old trees and scattered rocks.
In the center of this circle, everyone lit a campfire.
Because neither darkness nor silence can protect the prey in the eyes of the wolves.
Everyone was sitting around the campfire. Now, the sound of wolves howling could be heard from all directions, sometimes far away and sometimes near.
Everyone could also see many malicious eyes shining under the hill, and some even walked into the stone circle.
At the gap in the stone circle, a huge black wolf appeared.
It stared at everyone, as if it was sizing up delicious prey. Then, it let out a heart-rending howl, summoning all its wolves to start attacking.
Elos stood up: "Get ready to fight!"
The druids of the War Eagle clan transformed one after another, and instantly turned into various beasts: brown bears, black panthers and other beasts.
And Ekaterina also blessed everyone with various buffing spells, and at the same time concentrated her magic power, preparing to retaliate to the incoming enemies.
The black wolf grinned and lunged forward.
At that moment, there was a sound that broke through the air, and Elos gathered a fighting spirit spear and threw it at the giant black wolf.
After a shrill wail, the huge black shadow fell to the ground, and a vindictive spear pierced its throat, exploding its huge body.
The malicious wolf eyes suddenly disappeared one after another. Iloth and several druids walked forward, only to find that there was no trace of wild beasts in the surrounding area. The group of evil wolves fled completely.
Everyone stood in the darkness and silence, and there was no sound of any biological activity in the wind.
The sky is getting brighter and the moon is slowly setting in the west, the remaining light shining through the broken clouds.
Iroth suddenly woke up from his deep sleep. He sensed the appearance of a large group of wargs in the distance, attacking their camp from all directions.
"Enemy attack!" Elos shouted, everyone woke up from their sleep, the druids transformed, and the warriors guarded Ekaterina among them.
Everyone's bodies were constantly flashing with magical light, which was the buff spell released by Yekaterina.
In the jumping firelight, everyone saw many gray shapes leaping across the stone circle, and more and more wolves followed suit.
Elos suddenly became violent and killed dozens of first wolves in an instant.
The giant beasts transformed by the druids knocked the attacking giant wolves to the ground or tore them into pieces. Among them, the druids who transformed into giant bears were the most ferocious. They could be torn into pieces in the blink of an eye.
There were several giant wolves.
But Yekaterina's magic was the most successful. The ice and ice walls that appeared out of thin air around her slowed down the attack of the giant wolves. Many giant wolves fell on the ice one after another, skidding and rolling to the Druid.
Or in front of the soldiers, and then were killed.
With the release of Yekaterina's evocation spell, this group of giant wolves suffered unprecedented losses.
I saw a huge light yellow Bigby Vajra Palm smashing dozens of giant wolves into a pulp in an instant.
I also saw several Ma Youfu strong acid arrows being shot fiercely into the heads of several giant wolves. The strong acid corroded the brains of the giant wolves, killing them instantly on the spot.
Once again, a huge and terrifying light yellow battering ram smashed into the oncoming wolves, knocking dozens of giant wolves into bloody fragments. This was Bigby's battering ram spell.
Immediately, a huge ice storm swept into the wolves' attack route, crushing a large number of giant wolves to pieces...
Ekaterina's magic seemed to be playing the music of death at this time.
Even if he is as strong as Iloth, killing these giant wolves, which can be regarded as magical beasts, is not as efficient as a gold-level mage like Yekaterina.
When it comes to the efficiency of killing low-level enemies, magicians rank second, and no other profession dares to rank first.
In this one-sided massacre, Ekaterina alone stole the show, making everyone in the War Eagle clan even more admirable and loyal to the future queen.
In the swaying firelight, Ekaterina's figure seemed to suddenly begin to grow.
She grew taller and taller, looking like a monument to an ancient king standing on the hillside.
She picked up a burning firewood and slowly waved it, and the ferocious wolves gave way to her fire.
She threw it hard and threw the fire into the sky.
The firewood suddenly erupted with incandescent light like lightning, and her voice instantly became as shocking as muffled thunder.
“selamaashal‘anore!”
Yekaterina recited the language of the high elves loudly to increase the power of magic. At the same time, the ring of dominance on her finger continued to output a large amount of magic power into Yekaterina's body.
In a burst of roars and thunder, the old tree above Yekaterina exploded into a ball of dizzying flames.
The flames jumped from one tree to another, and the entire hill was enveloped in a storm of flames.
The swords of the warriors, including Iloth, were stained with fiery red flames, and the druids were surrounded by flame shields, which instantly ignited the giant wolf that rushed towards them, and then burned them to charcoal.
Under the illumination of the fire, Elos saw the wolf king hidden among the wolves. It was a huge wolf with white hair all over its body. It was far more majestic than other giant wolves.
But now that it has been discovered, its death is coming.
Since the distance was far, Elos immediately took out the holy spear Kungunir and threw it at the white-haired wolf king.
The holy spear Kungunir burned in mid-air, carrying the blazing flames and piercing the heart of the strong white-haired wolf king, piercing through the chest in its incredible anthropomorphic eyes.
As the white-haired wolf king fell to the ground, the wolf pack lost its backbone and after losing nearly half of its kind, other giant wolves fled again.
They really escaped this time and will not come back. Even if the dark elves control them, these giant wolves will not dare to attack anyone again before a new wolf king is elected.
Slowly, the flames weakened until everything was burned down to nothing but soot and sparks flying in the air.
Helpless black smoke rose from the charred tree trunks, drifting over the entire hill in the first rays of morning light.
The enemy who took advantage of the darkness to sneak up on us will never return.
After it was fully dark, there were corpses of giant wolves everywhere. It was initially estimated that there were nearly two hundred of them, not counting the corpses that were reduced to pieces by Ekaterina's magic.
The number of these giant wolves is astonishing, and they can rush up and attack everyone without fear of death.
If it weren't for Yekaterina's large-scale destructive spell and Ilosu's timely killing of the White-haired Wolf King, everyone would definitely have been killed or injured by the time Yekaterina's magic power was exhausted.
The weather changed again. Under the clear sky, everyone could see quite far away.
The clouds disappeared to the south and the sky turned blue.
When they were standing on the hill ready to set off, a pale ray of sunlight fell down.
