In the darkness, the coldness began to spread infinitely.
Suldak curled up. He felt a little cold on his back, but his sleepiness was like countless tentacles pressing tightly on his eyes, preventing him from opening them.
But suddenly a feeling came over him, a feeling that danger was approaching. He wanted to raise his hand to grab the knight's sword beside him, but that hand came up empty. He suddenly opened his eyes.
, seeing that the knight's sword was still standing upright next to the tent, he turned over and climbed out of the tent, and found that the bonfire at the door was dying. The cold wind poured into the tent and made him shiver. He saw Darcy Christie sitting on the bonfire.
She was sleeping soundly in front of the pile, surrounded by wolves, but she was still able to sleep.
The next second, Surdak saw a group of wolves slowly approaching from the darkness. Without the blazing bonfire, the last fear in their hearts also dissipated in the darkness. Countless pairs of green eyes appeared in the woods.
Surdak broke out in a cold sweat. This scene reminded him of the tragic scene when he faced the red-eyed hyena in the forest camp. At least at that time, the Fourth Brigade had 300 heavy armored infantry with strong armor and sharp swords, but under those crazy
The red-eyed hyena is still facing heavy losses.
The wolves were far more ferocious at night than during the day. Suldak leaned forward to pick up a few pieces of firewood and threw them into the fire with only a few embers left, causing sparks to fly.
The slowly approaching pack of wolves let out a low roar...
Suldak leaned over and patted the sleeping Darcy Christie, and found that she had no reaction at all. He quickly reached out and touched her forehead.
She still had a fever, her face was red, and her forehead was hot. It seemed that she was seriously ill this time. Even if she was blessed with the "Blessed Body", her condition still could not improve.
These hungry and scrawny forest gray wolves are slender, and the adult gray wolves can be at least two meters long. They hunched their bodies, got in from the cracks in the rocks, and surrounded Surdak in a fan shape. The leading male wolves were as big as
Huge. After a brief howling sound, a dozen gray wolves in front of Surdak pounced on Surdak almost simultaneously. In such a narrow stone crevice, there was no way to dodge.
Surdak assumed a defensive posture of lunging, and the dwarf chain shield in his hand slammed outward. The three hungry wolves that rushed towards him were immediately hit by the shield in Surdak's hand. The one on the far left
The gray wolf received a solid blow from Surdak. The gray wolf's skull was immediately shattered, and the protruding corridors on both sides took the opportunity to bite Surdak's legs and arms, with quick eyes and quick hands.
Surdak stabbed a gray wolf into the mouth with the knight's sword in his hand. The smelly wolf blood splashed onto Surdak's leather armor as he drew the sword.
The two gray wolves took the opportunity to bite Surdak's thigh, but their sharp teeth could not bite through Surdak's Warcraft leather armor immediately. They could only squeeze the Warcraft leather armor to deform it. Surdak did not
Feeling the expected pain, he had already freed his hand and chopped off the head of a forest gray wolf with his sword. The other gray wolf was thrown out by him, and the shield in his hand took the opportunity to attack the gray wolf.
body, causing it to let out a scream of 'whimpering'.
The wolf was like an old dog whose legs had been broken. He lay down and kept wailing. However, this tragic situation did not make the other forest gray wolves want to retreat. They were still lying aside, waiting for an opportunity.
As long as there is a slight gap, they will pounce on it without hesitation.
Fortunately, this knight's long sword was quite thick. Even after killing more than a dozen gray wolves, the blade was not bent. However, the sword was stained with wolf blood. The blood stained the sword's handle, making it sticky and slippery.
, there were more than a dozen wolf carcasses lying on the ground, Surdak's arms were also a little numb, and his gauntlets and leather pants were covered with bite marks from gray wolves.
These forest gray wolves are not magical beasts. They are just ordinary beasts in the forest. They are usually invincible in this forest and rely on their huge numbers.
There are no ferocious beasts nearby that can resist them. Because of this, the number of gray wolves will become larger and larger. They gradually cannot find enough food. Most gray wolves are so hungry that they are as thin as a stick.
Even after preying, he refuses to give up easily.
The strength of this group of gray wolves is far less than that of the red-eyed hyenas in the mountains and forests of Handanar County in the Warsaw plane. Although Suldak was a little tired, he firmly blocked the wolves from the rock crevices with his Warcraft leather armor and shield and sword.
He was like a solid shield wall, resisting all the ferocious attacks of the forest wolf from the front, at least ensuring that Darcy Christie, who was lying next to the campfire, was safe for the time being.
He stepped on a wolf carcass and almost fell to the ground. His center of gravity was a little unstable, and two gray wolves took the opportunity to bite the wrist holding the sword, and then the two gray wolves dragged him backwards.
Suldak was pulled forward by the gray wolf. He knew that once he fell, more forest wolves would pounce on him, and he could not get up from the ground again.
So Surdak concentrated his mind and released the phantom of the devil in the sea of consciousness with great concentration. A huge five-meter-tall phantom appeared behind Surdak. The god's face looked like Surdak's, and the four arms were phantoms.
Instantly materialized, four huge fists fell down instantly, smashing the gray wolf biting Surdak's arm until his brains exploded.
The moment the demon god's shadow appeared, Surdak's body was instantly infused with powerful power. He took the opportunity to stand firm and continuously swung his shield to attack the wolves in front of him, knocking several gray wolves flying out.
The sword was also used to chop several forest wolves in succession and directly drive them out of the rock gap.
At this time, the newly added firewood in the bonfire behind Surdak burned again. The fire dispelled the coldness of the night and illuminated the stone gaps in front of the tent. In the jumping firelight, the group of forest gray wolves remained.
More than twenty gray wolf carcasses were laid down, and they retreated into the dark forest with an unwilling wailing sound.
Looking at the wolves receding like a sea tide, the 'moment' behind Surdak gradually disappeared. A wave of fatigue hit him, and Surdak sat back next to the campfire.
He rested for a while, silently wiping the blood on the knight's sword, and then wiped the wolf blood on his hands. Both hands were almost stained red with wolf blood, and the wrist guards on both arms
Several cracks were cut out. The leather armor on Surdak's body was also stained with wolf blood, and his clothes were torn into strands. He looked very embarrassed, but the wounds on his body were very limited, and they were still in the holy state.
Heals quickly in the light.
Seeing that this set of leather armor was almost unusable, Surdak remembered that he still had a set of standard armor from the guard camp in his magic waist bag, but it had been used as a bait in the past few days, so he never had it.
Opportunity to wear.
Now he is no longer a bait.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh to himself.
I planned to lure Samoa out, but unexpectedly I caught the big fish from the Black Magic Monastery, and the big fish almost swallowed my bait in one gulp. If the guy wasn't too confident and thought he wouldn't
After waking up from the 'Sleeping Cloud', I'm afraid I've been taken back to the secret stronghold of the Black Magic Monastery, where I'll inevitably be tortured by those guys. They probably want to extract information from me about the whereabouts of the Dark Red Knight.
Took off the monster leather armor on his body, wiped the blood on his body casually, and then put on the full-coverage armor mixed with black iron.
This set of armor is not considered heavy armor, but the metal shell covers almost the entire body. If the forest wolves can't bite through the leather armor of Warcraft, then I'm afraid they won't even be interested in biting this set of metal armor.
In particular, there are some iron spikes at some movable joints, which are probably prepared for these beasts.
Surdak put the helmet aside, and after putting on the armor, he moved around for a while and found that the design of this Grimm Empire standard armor was very mature, and there was no inconvenience at all, and there were also holes near the belt
There are special buckles for hanging swords. This type of armor is better than that of the 57th Heavy Armor Infantry Regiment.
He dragged Darcy Christie back to the tent, took off her leather armor, and put her into the sleeping bag again. It wasn't until her breathing stabilized that Suldak breathed out softly. As a member of the Bena Advanced Swordsman Academy,
The physical fitness of a female swordsman is so poor. Surdak really has nothing to say.
…
Early morning the next day.
Dacy Christie woke up slowly and found that she was lying on Suldak's back again and continued to walk along the woods.
Her head was still dizzy, and Darcy Christie even suspected that Suldak had hit her on the head with a sap, causing her to lose the memory of last night. Moreover, she also had a splitting headache, and she found that she was tied up again.
In the sleeping bag, he asked weakly: "What happened last night? Why is my memory only half of it?"
Suldak was walking along the hillside, towards the heights of the mountain. He was wearing a set of standard armor from the guard camp, and he actually looked a little bit heroic.
He heard Darcy's first question after she woke up, and decided to tell her the truth: "You passed out again, right next to the bonfire. If I hadn't woken up in time, I'm afraid you would have been buried in the belly of a wolf, and then I might have
He was bitten awake by these wolves, and then escaped with injuries..."
At this time, Darcy finally remembered some things from last night, and there was a scene in her memory where she fainted. She had the kind of straight-tempered attitude of standing upright after being beaten, and said to Suldak: "...I'm sorry, I didn't expect that either.
That will happen!"
"Can you walk by yourself?" Suldak asked. Seeing that Darcy Christie didn't say a word, he said: "Forget it, when I climb to the mountain, I have to see how to get out. By the way, you are facing the sea.
Are you familiar with the suburbs of Lanza City?”
This time, Darcy Christie finally said: "It should be possible. There is a sand table in the Helensa City area in my father's study. As long as it is near Helensa City, I will definitely be able to identify the general shape of Helensa City.
position."
Being able to place a sand table of the city of Halanza in his home study, Suldak felt that Darcy's family must be a big noble in the city of Halanza.
Neither of them spoke. There was silence for a while, and the forest became extremely quiet.
Only Surdak’s feet stepped on the snow, making a crunching sound. Although there were more than a dozen forest gray wolves following behind him, it seemed that Surdak didn’t take them to heart at all.
Overnight, the number of wolves decreased by half. Darcy guessed that Surdak had done something to deal with the wolves.
She hesitated for a moment and then said: "Knight Surdak, if you can return to the city of Halanza this time, in addition to erasing the grudge between us, I will owe you a favor."
Suldak slapped his forehead and thought of how Darcy Christie rushed up to her when she walked into the college gate, looking like she was going to have a fight with him.
He felt that he needed to have a good discussion with Darcy Christie. He did not want to make enemies with an aristocratic lady for no reason, especially her name was suffixed with Christie.
So Suldak said: "I don't remember any grudges between us!"
Darcy Christie snorted softly.
Surdak told her: "I have never had any intentions against you young Bena swordsmen, but you did not forget to find trouble for me when you were in Handanar County. I am just a soldier from the battlefield.
The soldiers who survived were rewarded by Count Mondgos and had the honor to become a knight. Now I just want to be able to claim a small fiefdom in the city of Helensa and then build a knight territory properly."
Darcy Christie originally wanted to control her temper, but finally she couldn't help it. She said angrily: "Huh, you also said... I will never forget that it was you who ruined my life in Bena City.
Life!"
Suldak felt a little confused.
Darcy Christie said indignantly: "Is it wrong to give up two stupid guys who overestimate their own capabilities in a desperate situation and escape from the pursuit of evil spirits with a few partners who are willing to survive together? Hathaway and
Beatrice wants to be a hero, that's their business, it doesn't mean I have to do the same, in that case I just want to survive."
Suldak asked speechlessly: "...but I don't understand, what does this have to do with me?"
"Hathaway and Beatrice became heroes in everyone's eyes, while I became a coward on the battlefield and was laughed at by everyone. Isn't it because of you that they are respected?" Darcy Christie said
reason.
Suldak did not expect that her resentment came from this way. If she had not encountered such a dilemma, it would have been difficult to resolve.
"That's your own choice! But as you said, I don't think you are a coward. Like you, I escaped from the battlefield. The battle of Moyunling failed, and almost all my friends died.
, I am the only one who came back alive." Suldak said.
Dacy Christie snorted twice and said bluntly: "No wonder Hathaway and Beatrice still miss you after returning to Bena City. You really know how to say nice things."
Then he smiled at Suldak and said: "I would suggest you find a time to go to Bena City to meet them. You may get some unexpected gains. Neither of them are stingy people."
Suldak recalled the scene when he passed by the Bena Advanced Swordsman Academy and said: "I have never thought about this, and I don't want to disturb their lives. My life is pretty good now."
Dacy Christie stared at him in surprise and said: "Knight Suldak, has anyone ever told you that you are a little special?"
