Chapter 71 Successfully defended against the blood race's first attack
The day of the vampire attack finally arrived. The defense tower has been built, and a layer of ten-meter-high plants has been planted on the border. According to the original plan, a thousand archers with a large number of bows and arrows were in the defense tower, and the remaining two
One hundred archers and 811 knights were waiting in the woods, next to the defense tower and near the farm.
Werther and Linna also put on silver armor, each holding a sword, and stood among 200 knights and 50 archers, waiting together in the woods. The knight commander of Willy City led 400
The knights and a hundred archers guarded around the defense tower, while Ain, with two hundred knights and fifty archers, guarded near the farm.
In order to prevent encountering wild wolves, Werther also specially gave each of the soldiers guarding the farm two plants that could scare away wild wolves.
And Witte has also informed his people in advance not to go out that day. There is no one in the border area except those who need to fight.
The surroundings were quiet, and they concentrated on waiting for the vampire soldiers to attack.
In the evening, a huge sound of flapping wings was heard, and a large number of vampires armed with bows, arrows and swords appeared near the border of the woods. They flew neatly in the air, flying at a height of between two meters and two hundred meters.
The vampires are most densely concentrated at a height of two to ten meters, and there are fewer vampires as you go up. At the top two hundred meters, there are only a few vampires.
"They are coming!" Werther whispered to Lina, "First the soldiers in the defense tower will attack, and then we will attack. You must be careful."
Lina nodded: "You have to be careful too."
The first thing that group of vampire soldiers encountered was a row of ten-meter-high plants. Nearly half of the vampire soldiers were blocked. They had to wait for the vampires above to fly over these obstacles at their original speed, and then fly up and over.
Obstacles, this will undoubtedly destroy their combat formation and disrupt their combat plan.
While the vampire soldiers below were busy, the archers in the defense tower also began to prepare, and they shot arrows near the obstacles.
At this time, the vampire soldiers were even more confused. They did not expect that Daybreak Town had been prepared. Just when they were at a loss, more arrows were fired from the defense tower.
Some vampires were injured and unable to fight, and the remaining vampires continued to cross the obstacles and flew in. At this time, Werther and Lina rushed out of the woods with the soldiers, and a group of soldiers rushed over from the defense tower. They and
The vampire soldiers on the lower level fought together, while the defense tower continued to fire arrows.
Occasionally, some vampires flew near the farm and encountered another group of human soldiers.
The human side always had the upper hand, but the Vampire side looked very flustered. During the battle, Lina showed a strong force value. She flew in the air, and one person could even fight several Vampire soldiers at the same time.
Werther was also fighting several vampire soldiers alone. He occasionally glanced at Lina's position and felt a little relieved.
Although fighting at night is not good for humans, fortunately Werther and the others were well prepared and had more people, so Werther was able to get around them without too much effort. By midnight, they had driven away almost all of them.
Vampire soldiers. Everyone was panting from exhaustion.
Some soldiers were injured, and some were seriously injured. They were all sent to the castle for treatment by Ivan.
Werther looked at Lina for a long time and asked anxiously: "Are you injured?"
Lina shook her head and asked again: "What about you?"
"I wasn't injured either. Today's defense was too smooth."
Werther
After talking to Linna, he pointed his sword upward and said to the soldiers: "We have won the battle. Let's start counting the number of people."
After a while, everyone was counted. Then the knight commander of Willy City ran over anxiously: "Your Highness, Ain is missing."
Werther was surprised: "Which direction did he go just now?"
"Just now he chased several injured vampires and ran further away from the farm."
"Does he have a plant on him that can scare away wild wolves?"
"We all carried it with us at the beginning, but it might fall during combat, so I don't know if Ain still has that kind of plant with a special fragrance on his body."
"I understand, let me come to him. If anyone has a plant that can scare away wild wolves, please give me some if you can."
The soldiers who were guarding the farm just now looked for the plants that had not fallen from their bodies, and handed the plants they had to Werther.
After Werther collected a large number of plants, he said: "That's enough, I'm going to find Ain now."
As he spoke, he ran towards the plain next to the farm. He decided to go to a place without people and use his superpower eyes to find Ain's location. If Ain encountered any danger, he would use magic to save Ain.
come out.
He ran behind a big tree, concentrated his attention, and searched everywhere for Ain's whereabouts with his superpower eyes. Finally, he vaguely saw Ain and two wild wolves further away.
The wolf was looking at Ain with eager eyes, seemingly not afraid of him, while Ain was holding his sword in both hands, preparing to deal with the wolf's attack.
Seeing a wild wolf rushing towards Ain, Ain hurriedly dodged to the side. He wanted to escape, but another wild wolf blocked him.
Ain was in a stalemate with the two wild wolves. Fortunately, his force value was very high, otherwise he might have been torn into pieces by the wild wolves.
Seeing Ain's predicament, Werther immediately used teleportation magic and soon arrived near him. Werther threw several plants with a special smell in his hand towards the two wild wolves, while still holding a few plants in his hand.
While the wild wolf was stunned, he quickly ran to Ain and waved the plant in his hand towards the wild wolf.
After the wild wolf asked about the strong smell, he immediately stepped back and looked back at the two of them after a few steps until he was far away.
Witte stuffed two plants into Ain's hand, shook the two plants in his hand, and said, "Now that we are safe, let's go back."
Ain nodded: "Thank you, Your Highness, for saving me."
"I heard that you were chasing some vampires just now. Where are they?"
"When I was chasing them, they were already injured, and then they all flew out of the border. Your Highness, you look very relaxed now. Have we won?"
"We have won. This battle went smoothly. Thanks to your help."
"Actually, I didn't help much this time, and now His Highness has to expend all his energy to save me."
"Don't worry, we are fighting side by side."
Witte and Ain walked back together. He was thinking at this moment that when he used magic to come near Ain, he deliberately reached the rear of Ain. Coupled with the dark conditions, Ain must not have realized that he was in an instant.
After arriving here, I won’t doubt that I can do magic.
He carefully glanced at Ain with his eyes, and felt that there was nothing strange about Ain, so he felt a little relieved in his heart.
Back near the woods, the soldiers from Willy City had tidied up and stood in several queues.
"temple
"Exit." The knight commander of Willy City said respectfully to Witte, "I have sent someone to send news to Duke Willy. Before we came, Duke Willy once told us that if we win this battle, we will also
We have to stay in Dawn Town for two more days. If there are no other dangers, we can go back."
Werther nodded and said, "Thank you very much. I will prepare a celebration banquet to reward everyone."
"Also, Your Highness, after Duke Willy receives our news, he will tell the king everything truthfully. There is no need for Your Highness to do this, as long as Duke Willy does it, and the people I send will rush on as fast as possible.
When he returns to Willy City, Duke Willy will also send people to go to the palace in Frank City to inform the king, so within a week, the king will know everything.
When the time comes, the king will understand your loyalty and you will feel better."
After hearing what the other party said, Werther was suddenly moved: "I don't know how to express my gratitude to Duke Willy and all of you. I just hope that you can help me bring a message to Duke Willy. If the city of Willy or
If Duke Willy is in need, I will do my best to help him."
"I am also here to thank Your Highness in advance."
"I will go back to the castle now. Tomorrow is the banquet. I will prepare it with the servants. You can enjoy the delicious food in the castle or outside the castle."
Laughter rang out all around, and everyone felt extremely relaxed and looked forward to tomorrow's banquet.
Werther and Lina said goodbye to the others and returned to the castle.
On the way, Werther looked at Lina and asked with concern: "Are you exhausted today?"
However, Lina didn't say a word and just walked along minding her own business.
"Lina?" Werther walked quickly in front of her, obviously feeling something was wrong with her.
Lina stopped, raised her head, and looked at Werther in a daze. The two looked at each other like this for a while. Suddenly, Lina burst into tears and threw herself directly into Werther's arms.
Werther was shocked and stunned. This was the first time he saw Lina cry. He opened his arms, neither daring to hold her nor push her away, not knowing what to do.
After being silent for a while, he asked cautiously: "What's wrong with you? Are you sad?"
Linna sobbed softly, and said in a tearful voice: "The people I hurt today are all my own people! In the past, the vampires were at peace with humans, and the Brudin royal family was also very kind. Why are the vampire princes now?
But his personality suddenly changed, why did he want to attack Notland and let the vampires and humans hurt each other?"
Only then did Werther understand why Lina was sad. She was also a vampire, and fighting her own kind must be very painful. She had been suppressing the pain for herself. Thinking of this, Werther understood more about Lina's feelings for him.
Feelings.
He looked at Lina, whose body was shaking uncontrollably, and suddenly felt distressed. He slowly reached out his hand, touched her head, and comforted her softly: "You are not wrong. You are always on the side of justice. If we don't have any defense today,
If the vampires attack, Dawn Town and even other places in the Kingdom of Notland may fall into disaster."
Lina pushed him away, stood up straight, stretched out her hand to wipe her tears, looked at Werther firmly, and said, "I'm fine."
"Is everything really okay?" Werther blinked at Lina, "Let's go back and make some midnight snacks by ourselves."
Lina gave him a strong smile: "Okay, hurry up, I can't wait any longer."
With that said, Lina transformed her wings, and she pulled Werther and flew up into the night sky, where the stars were shining brightly above their heads.
