075 Breathless Night

After the wolf beast retreated, some tired knights raised their visors, revealing their faces dripping with sweat after a fierce fight. The water vapor and sweat brought out by the violent breathing had already made their armor linings extremely damp. If they were allowed to take off their armor now,

, you can definitely see large water marks. Extremely tight

The knights who relaxed after Zhang didn't speak, and held the weapons in their hands tightly. They just stood at the intersection and waited, but the insect beasts never came back. Time passed by, even if it was a summer night.

It was late and the sky was getting darker.

Leonardo looked at the blood-red sunset on the horizon, feeling a little anxious. In this situation, which was entirely illuminated by unstable flames, there were dark corners everywhere. In such a low-light environment, human vision was completely unable to

Compared to animals. Not to mention

There is a gap in sense of smell and hearing. These blind spots may be exploited by wild beasts. Wild beasts hunt so many at night, and they turn into monsters, don’t they still come out in the middle of the night? What if these fires suddenly go out in the middle of the night, everyone will be trapped

It's pitch black, isn't it going to happen?

The sound of rumbling footsteps sounded, and he looked back and saw that Backlund came over with the knights who were changing defenses, carrying some steel pieces. Backlund waved to Leonardo upstairs: "Okay, you guys

Pack these things up, put the big ones as high as possible, and put the small ones as close to the ground as possible. Go ahead." The knights scattered in all directions. Backlund climbed up from the collapsed wall to the second floor: "How is the battle going?"

"It's okay. This place is nice. There was no melee. There was a fight for a while, but then they all ran away. Did you see that deer?"

Leonardo pointed to another block behind him.

Backlund turned around and saw the giant deer lying among the collapsed houses: "Why is this thing so big?"

"Don't mention it, it's just a mallet. It hit the front line of defense immediately. All the casualties occurred at that time."

"Then it's still quite powerful. You guys quickly change defenses. Food and drink will be brought to you later. Go back and get some rest."

"Be careful. Although we can't see the insect beasts now, I can feel that they are right in front, right in front. What are those things you brought here?"

"Oh, Boru and the others came up with something temporarily, lighting."

"That's so timely. I was worried about what to do if it gets dark. How did he think of doing this when he's not on the front line?"

"Tezier said that when they were escorting civilians to the factory, they asked him for lamps, and he made a batch of them."

"Easy? So many? How can you do it so fast?"

"I don't know. Anyway, it's for temporary use. There may be some restrictions. I tried it before moving it up. The big one is OK, and the small one is about the same as a torch, better than nothing. Hurry up and arrange a defense change, and go back to eat and drink. There won't be any tonight.

It’s so good.”

By the time Leonardo returned to the small square with the replaced knights, it was already dark. The lighting panel placed in the corner had begun to turn on and start to glow. Stonewall, who was walking beside Leonardo,

Taking off the helmet: "Hey, it's quite bright. This thing is good."

"Of course this thing is good. Alchemists from the engineering school can solve these problems much better than those from the entertainment school in the capital. It's a pity that there are only two of them." An old gentleman in a tuxedo with his hands behind his back came from a shed.

Then he walked out. "Leonardo, organize your people to eat. Today's conditions are not good, so let's make do with it."

Leonardo went over to the shed and took a look: "There is meat, there is soup, there is? What is this? Mantu? What is this? Did he do it again? Oh, the bread is baked too slowly, this does not need fire? It is flour

, as long as it’s cooked! Now it’s a field dinner, it’s ready!”

He turned his head and said: "Queue up! Eat!" He walked towards Mr. Sweeto with two "Mantu" and an iron cup, and took a bite as he walked: "Hey, this Mantu is quite good, the original one

Eating dried meat and rusk will definitely make your throat sore. It tastes almost like fresh bread." He stuffed the remaining half of the steamed bun into his mouth at once.

"It's a steamed bun, Qinghuo, not a steamed bun." Mr. Sweeto laughed. "Don't look at me like that. I don't know if bread can do this, but it's really convenient. You don't need to bake it for a long time. Otherwise, the bread tonight

There is no supply, and you can’t fight a war when you’re hungry.”

"This Bolu is just a loser when it comes to fighting. He's not on the front line. I didn't expect that he would have a strong sense of presence just from behind as a support?"

After Leonardo wolfed down 6 or 7 steamed buns, he raised his head and drank the soup in the cup. He then returned to the front line with his weapon in hand.

The flames in the distance have not been extinguished, the lighting nearby emits a faint light, and the howls of wild beasts can be heard in the distance. It was still a prosperous handicraft town at noon, but now it has turned into a pile of ruins.

Leonardo sat on the roof: "Just for a moment, just for a moment, the Red Mountain became like this. It was fine in the morning, it was fine in the morning."

Beside him, Beckland remained silent. Suddenly, the two of them pricked up their ears and said at the same time: "Something made a noise."

The knights in the front row raised their weapons and were ready for the attack. The knights in the back row who were resting in shifts stood up one after another. They were waiting for the monsters to pounce out from places where the light could not reach. The sound of footsteps sounded, and it sounded like

He started running, and at the same time, the sound of steel armor rubbing against each other gradually became clearer.

"It's a human! Over here!" A knight pointed in a direction.

Marco and Campbell swung their arms desperately and ran. Campbell opened his mouth wide and inhaled with all his strength. Tears and snot flowed from his face with despair. He did not reach out to wipe it. He felt that he could no longer run.

The knife became so heavy that I could hardly lift it. My mind went blank except for the idea of ​​running fast and running with all my strength. The two of them had already explored the vicinity and several intersections in the afternoon.

They were able to touch the defense line established by the knights during the day, but the fierce fighting in the afternoon made them afraid to approach, and the wolf beasts that retreated later occupied the road. Marco and Campbell had to hide in a sewer to escape the wolves

The beast's search lasted until dark. They followed the sewer to a place not far from the Knights' defense line. Something desperate happened: the sewer in the workshop area ended here.

Marco lifted the wooden cover and observed it, and said in a voice like blowing air: "There is an intersection, 50 meters, run past and you will reach the defense line. Don't hesitate, don't look back, and you must run with all your strength!"

Campbell nodded and got ready. The two of them gently opened the lid and climbed out of the sewer. They crawled in the shadow of the roadside. Marco looked at Campbell and nodded. He held out three fingers, 3,

2,1, The two ran with all their strength. The sound of footsteps attracted the attention of predators in the dark, and they gathered towards them one after another. There was a soft sound behind them and above their heads.

There was the sound of paws on the ground, and something seemed to be breathing. Campbell didn't dare to look around, and kept his head down and sprinted with all his strength. He was almost there! The moment he stepped into the intersection shrouded in light, a heavy sound sounded behind him.

There was a sound of wind. Marco, who was running with all his strength, had no time to turn around. He closed his eyes in pain, so that he did not see another figure flying towards Campbell above his head.

Leonardo pulled out the straight knife stuck on the roof and jumped behind the two people. He had vaguely heard and vaguely saw a group of flexible figures following behind the two people. The head of the knife was not to the right.

In the middle of the leaning position, the figure jumped behind Campbell. There was a pop, and the relative speed between the two made the knife plunge straight in. The inertia carried the beast forward, sharp and sharp.

The blade of the blade simply cut the back half of the beast in half. Leonardo's hand flicked, and he knew that his weapon had been released, so he picked up the knife and slashed at the other one, howling and jumping down.

Figures on the ground. This howl seemed to be the trigger for an all-out war. Figures jumped towards the knights from the shelter on the roof, from the dark corners, and from the broken windows.

These vigorous and graceful figures jumped over from the opposite roof. Backlund only had time to shout: "Go all out!" before fighting with them. Leonardo slashed one by one and chopped them down in a few seconds.

He saw the last black shadow rushing towards him, and had time to lower his head and take a look. There were several black panthers with beautiful fur lying on the ground. It seemed that their bodies were perfect enough, as if they didn't have any carapace. He didn't have time to look through it, and was about to

When I returned to the roof to help, I heard a gust of wind behind me.

A huge claw as big as a washbasin fell to the ground, making a big hole in the solid sand road and sending dust flying. The claws it exposed were long and sharp, exuding a metallic luster. One end looked like it could carry a passenger.

A tiger as big as a horse-drawn carriage came out. The red light in its eyes was so intense that it was about to burn, and it showed no politeness. The other giant claw shot towards Leonardo with an afterimage.

Who dares to take this?

When Leonardo saw the tiger's shoulder move, he turned over and jumped up. He was still in the air, and the dagger in his hand struck the tiger with a gleam of light. The tiger twisted his waist and dodged the vital point, and the dagger's light was in the air.

He licked the ground and silently left a straight crack several meters long.

Backlund, who was standing upstairs, had just finished off his opponent when he saw Leonardo using his vindictive sword. He shouted at the top of his lungs: "Get out of the way! The leader is going crazy!" After that, he ran away.

, the knights seemed to be anxious when they heard this sentence. They used their best strength to quickly deal with the opponents in front of them. They gathered into a group and began to fight while retreating away from the group leader.

Leonardo seemed relieved when he saw that the knights had retreated. A ferocious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "You dogs, no, cats, have you finished? I have been very restrained! If it weren't for the young people,

If I have a chance to exercise, I’ll do it at noon

You guys are drunk! Do you really think I am a vegetarian?" He threw off the breastplate on his body, and the fighting spirit on his body was no longer a thin layer, but began to evaporate and burn like a flame. This was when he was no longer operating at full strength.

Proof of control. The tiger turned around and pounced again

Come, Leonardo did not dodge this time, flicked his hand burning with fighting spirit, and grabbed one of the tiger's claws that was falling rapidly and shining with metallic light. There was a scratch, and the tiger's own strength

It tore off this claw. Tiger

With an angry roar, Leonardo raised his other claw and swept it sideways. Leonardo was not afraid. He shook the handle of the knife in his right hand, and flames surged along the tip of the knife, stabbing straight into the tiger's claw.

Direction, cut its claws in half!

Blood mist sprayed out from the tiger's paws, but the tiger, which had lost its mind, had no intention of retreating. It stood up and struck with both claws inwards! It seemed that it wanted to slap Leonardo flat. Leonardo

With one more sliding step, he stepped aside at a speed that seemed invisible to the naked eye, and picked up the knife in his hand: "The child below

Why did you old guys jump out to fight with each other? So did the dead deer, so did you, and the bear, don’t think I didn’t see it! When I wasn’t paying attention, I killed two of my people and injured several others.

I'll dehydrate your immediate family members!" With a click, the tiger's two huge front paws were cut off and fell to the ground.

The tiger lost its support and fell to the street immediately. Leonardo jumped up, with the flaming knife in his hand as fast as a meteor, he slashed hard at the tiger's neck!
