21. Jeronan's Wish



The dark night shrouded the mountains and dense forests, and countless pairs of blood-red eyes opened from the darkness.

The hyena rushing at the front was covered with fine steel arrows. The arrows shot by the long archers were so powerful that the arrows could easily penetrate the hyena's hard skull. The running hyena had arrows stuck in its head and fell down the slope.

On the ground, countless dead leaves splashed up.

The heavy armored infantry who fell behind the team quickly formed a shield wall under the command of the squadron leader, alerting the calf-like hyenas to rush up against the rain of arrows. The hyenas wanted to rush through the human wall on their shields. The huge

The claws grabbed the iron square shield, and immediately scratched the square shield with several deep scratches.

The hyenas' hind legs are very strong. They tried their best to rush through the shield wall, but were pierced by the Pagliu spears set up by the spearmen who arrived in time. Their heavy bodies continued to fall.

It hit the shield wall and made a dull sound.

Every collision of the hyenas is a great test for these shield warriors. The shield wall they form is like a canoe swaying in the wind and rain. There is a danger of being overturned by the wind and waves at any time. At this time, the soldiers behind can only use their shoulders.

Pressing on the back of the companion in front, the shield wall will not collapse.

The spearmen standing in the back row tried their best to kill the charging hyena with their spears.

Another wave of arrows fell, and the extremely penetrating steel arrows caused huge casualties to the hyenas.

He Boqiang put his shoulder on Suldak's back. When he saw a huge claw clawing at Suldak's face, He Boqiang thrust out the Roman sword in his hand without thinking, and immediately cut off the hyena's claws.

pierce.

The hyena let out a sharp cry, and a trace of venomous saliva flowed downward from its bloody mouth, biting towards Surdak's throat. Surdak tried to raise the square shield in his hand to block the hyena's bite.

But he didn't expect that one of the hyena's front paws pressed on the upper edge of the square shield, and Surdak couldn't lift the square shield at all.

Just when the stench from the hyena's mouth hit Surdak's face, a small buckler covered with iron sheets hit the hyena's mouth firmly.

Suddenly, a huge dent appeared on the surface of the small round shield wrapped with iron sheets and hard wood. The small round shield was almost shattered by He Boqiang's powerful shield blow, and the hyena's nose appeared exaggeratedly twisted, with two sharp

The canine fangs remained on the small buckler, and the hyena's body was hit so hard that it flew backwards, unable to even make a wailing sound.

Red Socks, who was standing side by side with He Boqiang, stared at He Boqiang as if he had seen a monster, and was so shocked that he couldn't even speak.

A hyena tried to jump over Red Sock's head. He Boqiang took the opportunity to raise his Roman sword and cut a two-foot-long hole in the hyena's belly. The hyena's internal organs leaked out, and Red Sock's head was covered with water.

He Boqiang stretched out his hand and punched Red Socks on the shoulder, indicating that he should concentrate at this time and protect the companion holding the shield in front of him.

Another hyena rushed up from behind, and before he could get close to Surdak, he was stabbed through the body by a spear thrust out of the gap behind him.

For a time, hyena carcasses were piled on the ground in front of the shield wall.

These ferocious round-eared hyenas do not belong to the category of monsters, but they have a large group and like to hunt in groups. As long as they do not provoke powerful monsters in the mountains and forests, they have almost no natural enemies.

It is not uncommon for groups of hyenas to attack humans, but a hyena of this size, with its eyes full of blood and ferociousness, is really rare in Handanar County.

Seeing the hyenas still rushing forward in the darkness, the captain of the 6th Squadron commanded the shield warriors to retreat.

At this time, the Fourth Brigade had also fully reacted. Captain Baron Sidney quickly rushed over with a wave of elite soldiers, leading the heavy armored infantry to launch a counterattack against the hyena group.

The soldiers in heavy armor were not afraid of the bites of hyenas. Baron Sidney rushed in front with his bodyguards. Baron Sidney's body was steaming with white cyclone. The hyenas could not rush in front of him and were killed.

His double-edged sword split it in half.

Baron Sidney arrived at the rear in time, greatly relieving the pressure on the rear defense line.

The surrounding soldiers saw Baron Sidney holding a big sword in both hands like a god descending from the earth. The people who were a little exhausted once again cheered up and joined Baron Sidney in resisting the hyenas.

Baron Sidney was like a flag, rushing to the front of the team, attracting the attention of a large number of hyenas.

The pressure on the defense line suddenly eased a lot. Taking advantage of the hyena attack to slow down, Suldak wiped his face with his hands and said to He Boqiang who was standing behind him:

"You see, Baron Sidney is one of the seven construct knights of our fifty-seventh regiment."

The black boy Jie Longnan on the side said with envy:

"I hope that one day, I can also become a construct knight."

When Jie Longnan was talking, a hyena took the opportunity to rush up. Captain Sam held up a square shield with one hand and hit the hyena hard on the head with the war hammer in his other hand. Blood immediately splattered everywhere, and he kicked the hyena.

After kicking away the body, Captain Sam turned back to Jie Longnan and cursed angrily:

"What are you thinking! Do you think you can break through the bottleneck of the first rank? Even if you become a first rank warrior, can you afford the magic pattern structure?"

Jie Longnan was scolded so badly by Captain Sam that he didn't dare to talk back, so he could only smile mockingly at Captain Sam.

Captain Sam reached out and patted Jie Longnan on the face twice, and then said:

"Be your infantryman honestly. When the military service is over, go back to your hometown, marry a wife and live a stable life. Don't think about these unrealistic things."

Jie Longnan protested softly:

"Uncle Sam, this is my dream."

Thinking that the 57th Heavy Armored Infantry Regiment came to the Tarapagan area of ​​Osorno County, Bena Province, it was not surprising that Jelonnan called Captain Sam uncle.

Captain Sam did not give Jie Longnan any good looks at all, and angrily said:

"Put away your dreams and go home when your military service is over."

The attack of the hyenas has slowed down, and everyone can say a few words in the interval of fighting. Veteran Ian lit a dry cigarette with trembling hands, took two sharp puffs, and handed the cigarette to Captain Sam next to him.

A dry cigarette passed through the hands of the members of the second team.

Finally, it was in Jie Longnan's hand, and there was only a piece of cigarette butt that was almost burned to his hand.

Jie Longnan took half a puff with a resentful look on his face, and the last bit of tobacco was burned out.

He Boqiang thought that these hyenas would withdraw if they saw that they could not take advantage.

Unexpectedly, within a short time, even pairs of blood-red eyes appeared in the forest on both sides of the team. Instead of retreating, the hyenas gathered more and more.

Surdak was the first to notice something strange around him, and said to his companions:

"What's wrong with these hyenas? Why don't they retreat even after so many people died? They're a bunch of crazy dogs!"

He Boqiang handed the kettle to Suldak. The water in the kettle was filled by the river during the day, and there was not much left at this moment.

Surdak drank the last sip of water from the pot and hung the pot back on his waist.

Captain Sam said loudly to the members of the second team: "Hold on a little longer and give me your attention."

The hyenas surged up again in the forest like a tidal wave.
