Freya bit her lip and watched as the wolves gathered in the canyon and then suddenly dispersed, revealing something in the center. It was several wolf corpses stacked on top of each other, and traces of Jiliè's battles were scattered around the snow.
It was arranged in advance to ensure that You Xi could enter their optimal shooting range.
After You Xi found these corpses, he walked over slowly. Four giant wolves, which were even larger and as big as heavy war horses, surrounded him. They were the ghosts in the winter land, Essis, who often appear in folk tales.
His descendant, the Pale Son, is a far more terrifying existence in this forest than the winter wolf.
"Are you sure?" Brund saw You Xi squatting down next to the wolf corpses and starting to inspect the corpses. He breathed a sigh of relief and turned his head and asked.
"You can try." Rollo replied.
After a simple question and answer, the Knights of the Broken Sword made the final adjustments. They took a deep breath, held their breath, kept the hand holding the bow steady, and then slowly pushed the bow to the string. The bow body made a creaking sound.
Most of the bows suitable for gold-level power are magic bows. Only compound bows that have been processed by 'strengthening', 'toughening' and other laws can withstand a hundred times the power of ordinary people. But even so, each bow is still equal to
This loss is irreversible in the service life of the bow. In Eruin, the magic bows on the market can even be purchased for 17,000 tols. Even if they are the handiwork of masters in workshops directly affiliated with the royal family, these bows
Most of the lifespan of the bow will not exceed one hundred firings. Each firing is almost equivalent to squandering gold coins as heavy as the bow.
The wind had not yet risen in the canyon, and You Xi was still unaware of it. It was just as if he had a natural sensitivity to danger that made him raise his head. His subtle movement seemed to touch the tense nerves of the Cruz people. Little Pelo looked at Fu
Leia, the latter nodded slightly.
Freya breathed out gently, as if to calm herself down.
"Shoot!" Almost at the same moment, Nymesis gave the order to attack in a cold voice.
The archers loosened their bow strings one after another, and the power attached to the arrows was so great that when they came out of the bow strings, they made a deafening sound. Wherever it passed, the air flow was so turbulent that it looked like space from a distance.
A general oscillation occurs.
The first arrow passed over the flank of the winter wolves, and the whirlwind it brought about knocked the running wolves around. Under such an attack, You Xi had no time to react. He had just turned his head, and the arrow had already struck.
Arriving in front of him, over a hundred yards away, everyone could even see his frightened and disbelieving face.
The giant wolf beside him saved his life. The huge Pale Son jumped up and blocked the path of the arrow. Then he was hit by an arrow in the back, and the huge impact directly penetrated it.
In the snow, a piece of snow dust splashed up.
Then a hail of arrows fell.
The four pale sons beside You Xi were instantly shot into hedgehogs, but they at least bought the Marquis time for him to finally realize what had happened.
He never dreamed that those desperate Cruz knights would dare to attack him. And when he realized this, everything had become irreversible.
You Xi immediately lay down and swooped down to hide among the winter wolves. He tried to use cover to retreat to the other side of the canyon to find a shelter. But unfortunately, Little Pello and Nymesis chose the ambush point for him.
The surrounding area was flat, and the small group of winter wolves that surrounded him quickly fell one by one, while more winter wolves were still far away on the wings or had already chased into the canyon.
You Xi began to feel regretful, maybe he shouldn't have been so rash. But it was too late to say anything now. But when the wolves gradually became sparse, an arrow hit him, and he screamed and fell down on the snow.
In the ground, the arrow penetrated his left calf and pinned him directly to the ground.
If he were still alive, he would be sweating profusely in pain at this moment, but one of the benefits of being undead is that he loses the sense of pain. You Xi quickly gritted his teeth and turned around, pulled out the sword from his waist, and tried to cut him with a sword.
Long feathered arrows on the ground.
At the same time, the wolves in the canyon finally discovered the attacker. The alpha wolf among the wolves howled one after another. The wolves that were closer had begun to turn around and turned towards the Knight of Cruz Folding Sword above the cliff.
They pounced.
The winter wolves that were slightly closer ran towards Marquis Youxi, trying to protect their master.
"Brend, Alaya, lead the team to stop them!" Freya stared at the winter wolves all over the mountains and plains, rushing toward their position like an avalanche in reverse direction. This scene was so similar to what she had seen in Ampelsel.
, as if it happened yesterday. The Valkyrie clenched the sword in her hand. It was absolutely impossible to say that she was not nervous. After all, she was just a knight captain at that time, and at this moment, every order she gave determined her presence.
Whether all the people were buried here or escaped.
She held it so hard that her knuckles turned white due to loss of blood, but she didn't notice it. Thousands of winter wolves were only a hundred feet away from them, and at the speed of the winter wolf, it only took two breaths.
Time can suddenly rush in front of them, the snow-wave-like wolf pack, each beast among them can be clearly seen with its teeth shining with cold light.
"Rolo, prepare for the second round of shooting." Freya took a deep breath and ordered in a calm voice.
Rollo licked his lips. Even for the Cruz people, such a big scene is not seen often, not to mention they are just 'newbies'. The battle in front of him even surpassed the one that broke out last night.
Fighting, and when the wolves charge in the open terrain outside the forest, the momentum is definitely not the same.
Including him, everyone's palms had a thin layer of oily sweat.
However, the daily training worked. The young knights of the Cruz people raised their long bows in unison. The moment they opened their bows, the knights in the back row had already picked up their shields and came out with their long swords, leaving the front line.
A thin blocking formation was formed ten steps away, led by Brund and Alaya.
The wolves are no more than fifty feet apart.
The knights put down their long shields, inserted the pointed end of the shield into the snow, and lowered their body center of gravity, ready to accept the impact.
Rollo squinted his eyes and raised the long bow in his hand a little higher. He kept raising his aiming line, crossing the line of surging wolves, and the arrow clusters with cold light were still aimed at the bottom of the canyon.
"put!"
Nymesis waited until all the archers were adjusted and then immediately issued the order.
At the same time, You Xi finally turned around and cut off the arrow stuck in his left leg with a sword. Although the undead felt no pain, it did not mean that he would not be troubled by the pain. The loss of soul power almost made him
He took a breath of air. After he finished this, he did not rush to escape. Instead, he dropped the long sword in his hand with some dejection, turned over with difficulty, and then looked at the sky.
There was a dark light shining in You Xi's pale eyes, and the look inside was both crazy and desperate.
In his field of vision, arrows rained down from the sky.
He opened his mouth, exposing his white teeth, as if he was sending out a final cry. But no sound was made. Almost instantly, more than twenty arrows pinned him to the ground together with the winter wolf that had just arrived.
superior.
You Xi raised his head and held on for the last moment before lying down slumped.
…
The winter wolf and the knight's shields made a dull sound when they collided with each other. The impact of these beasts was so great that if they were ordinary human soldiers, they would have been blown away at this moment. The Long-Blade Duke fought against a large number of people on the plateau
When fighting the Tundra Wolf, it is often necessary to arrange the soldiers into a large square formation of seven columns. This is far beyond the level of fighting against heavy cavalry.
But the winter wolves are also facing extraordinary opponents. The dozens of Cruz knights in the front row all have gold-level strength. In front of them, there is no big difference between the winter wolves and ordinary wolves.
The knights used their shields to push away the approaching wolves, or used their swords to pin them to death in the snow, and then took a slight step back, waiting for the second attack. Unlike Alaya, who was slashing and killing, Brund was
Carefully calculating their retreat distance, according to his calculations, they must persist in attacking for at least five rounds. Before that, they must buy enough time, the more, the better.
But after the third impact, the Cruz knights suddenly felt that their vision was empty, and the repulsed winter wolf did not rush forward again.
"What's going on?" Everyone looked subconsciously into the canyon below. In the mist, countless white beasts were scurrying away in the distance.
It wasn't until this moment that the shooter behind him let out a cheer.
Little Perlo, Nymesis, and Freya all looked nervously at the place where You Xi fell, because no one could say whether the Winter Wolf would leave after You Xi died. The only thing they could count on was
, at least after losing their commander, the winter wolves are left with only the instincts of beasts, at least they cannot act in an orderly manner like an army.
It is undoubtedly a fantasy to break out of the encirclement in a large army, but if the opponent is just a group of beasts acting on instinct, then it may not be possible.
But the reality was far better than they imagined. At the moment You Xi fell, although there were still a few winter wolves still attacking them, farther away, the large-scale wolf pack there had begun to hesitate.
, scattered signs.
The Cruz knights holding longbows were the first to notice this sign and couldn't help but cheer in unison.
Then little Pelo couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. He turned around, half relaxed and half thankful to congratulate Freya and said: "It seems we made the right bet, Commander."
Freya just nodded slightly. You Xi was dead, and everyone saw it with their own eyes. The wolves were also dispersing. Although there were still a few who were still entangled with them, the number compared to the overall number was completely insignificant to them.
threaten.
But even so, she was still a little worried.
There is only one problem. The premise of their ambush is that if the silver monster is not with You Xi. What if the monster is lurking around? No one can say for sure.
Nymesis was keenly aware of her junior's worries. She turned back to look at the latter and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I'm a little worried." Freya replied: "Senior Sister Nymesis, I think it's best for us to leave here as soon as possible."
"Are you worried about that monster?" Little Pelo also thought of this question: "But if it were here, it wouldn't be able to let You Xi be ambushed by us, right?"
"I don't know," Freya shook her head gently: "But I have a hunch that something is wrong."
"You are too nervous, Commander." Little Pelo shook his head. He has received professional military training. For soldiers, premonition is probably the most unbelievable thing.
But Nymesis was completely opposite to his judgment. The female knight frowned and asked: "Hunch? Did you miss something?"
Freya was slightly startled. She looked at her senior sister in surprise. She didn't expect that the other person would be so clear about what she was thinking. Just like this, she always felt that she had missed something.
Nymesis stared at her and said nothing. But if Brando were here, he would definitely be more vigilant.
The premonition of the Valkyrie was a very famous rumor in his world.
