After dawn, everyone sat up from the fire, and let the two hunters standing guard on the wooden wall replace them. Knight Lanisa wiped her face with the snow in the corner of the passage, and then began to feed her mount some hay.
Keel held the baked potato by the fire in his hand, and the hot potato couldn't burn him through the heat through his gloves. Coming to the wooden wall, Keel broke the potato in half, ate half for himself, and passed the other half to his companion.
"Hoohoo, it's so hot, so hot!" Although the young hunter also wore half-fingered gloves, they were not particularly thick after all, so after receiving the food, he turned his left and right hands upside down to avoid being burned.
The steaming potatoes quickly cooled down in this cold weather, and the two ate small potatoes in small bites. Keel looked at the forest in the distance, listening to the surrounding movements in his ears.
He frowned, feeling as if something was wrong, took a few bites of the food on his hand, then turned sideways, took off his helmet, and listened carefully to the sound coming from the front of the passage.
Accompanied by the whining sound of cold wind, there were also some deep breathing sounds from a distance.
It sounds like a large group of animals breathing one after another.
Kiel blinked: "Partners, Lord Knight. They seem to have come!"
Everyone raised their heads to look at Kiel, and Knight Lanisa patted the long visors of the war horses: "Of course, everyone. They came a moment before dawn. I can feel the wolf king emitting The power comes out." She smiled: "Don't worry, after a long journey, the northern land wolves will definitely need to rest."
They clapped their hands: "Hurry up and take advantage of this time to deal with it, otherwise you may not even have time for convenience later."
It's okay if Knight Lanisa didn't say this, but as soon as she said it, Kiel felt that he had to go to make things easier.
Others were also a little moved.
-
After a while. Normally, the sun should have risen some distance above the horizon at this time. Unfortunately, although there has been no more snow these days, the sky has not cleared up either. Thick clouds obscured the entire sky, and it looked as if another heavy snowfall would fall at any moment.
Kiel stood on the wooden wall with a weapon in his hand. He hoped that there would be no snow in the sky. After all, compared with the northern land wolf, which can only bite and attack in melee, humans rely more on long-range projectile weapons to fight. Visibility is still required.
When the snow here falls, it will fall overwhelmingly. It is not the fog of monsters, but it is not much different from it.
The narrow rock passage was completely blocked by a wooden wall, and it was full of people. Eight hunters, young and old, and warriors like the female knight and Kiel.
Everyone stood close together, one next to another. The hunters stood one by one, while the female knight stood slightly to the right in the middle of the wooden wall. She was responsible for the close defense of most of the wooden wall, while Keel only used a small section near the left side of the wooden wall. Just stay on the defensive.
On the rocky ground in front of the wooden wall, all the metal clips have been relocated. After last night's battle, only two of them were deformed and damaged, and the others can still be used normally. So after Kiel cleaned up the wolf carcasses caught by them, he carefully unfolded them again.
However, this time, these metal clips were not placed too far outside, but were all evenly distributed from the entrance of the rock passage to the place under the wooden wall.
This point was also changed after Kiel learned a little bit from last night's combat experience. Arranging the metal clips together can effectively trap all the northern land wolves in the first wave of impact, and then kill them wantonly. But this also brought about a disadvantage. As long as the other northern land wolves crossed this distance, they could directly accelerate and rush under the wooden wall without being hindered.
Those four-legged guys were still very flexible in the battle. In the fierce battle, Keel found that it was very difficult for the hunters to hit the dodging and charging northern land wolf. Therefore, he widened the deployment range of the metal clips, all the way from the entrance of the rock passage to the wooden wall.
Considering the number of all assembled northern land wolves and the positions they prepared, this is not a process that can be ended in a single shock battle.
Killing in a short time is not the most important thing. Relying on layers of defense to kill the northern wolf is a more important thing. Of course, it is also necessary to assist Knight Lanisa in defeating the wolf king.
"Attention, they are coming." Lanisa Knight said, looking at the forest directly facing the passage.
Without the knight's reminder, everyone heard the movement. Continuous howls of wolves resounded continuously from a distance, and there was an exceptionally loud hoarse howl of wolves in the middle.
Compared with the howling of wolves in the distance, this sound is as clear and loud as if someone accidentally pressed the volume button on the TV remote control.
Kiel glanced at the old hunter beside him, and the old hunter nodded seriously: "This is the wolf king, be careful of Kiel, it's not just a much bigger northern wolf."
"cunning."
"cruel."
"Some strange abilities."
"And run away."
Knight Lanisa said little by little while leaning on her sword.
"Everyone, be careful. When it wants to attack you, you must dodge it. Don't think you can handle it. Leave it to me, and you fight more ordinary northern land wolves. This time they must kill those young wolves as well." Bring it out, hum, I can hear the cubs barking."
Several old hunters gritted their teeth: "Needless to say, these guys must be planning something bad."
An old hunter exhaled: "If we lose, they will definitely kill all the villages and avenge the northern land wolves who died before."
"Of course. They're very vindictive guys. But I think they must have hit the armor this time, with the layers of Keel's plan. They're finished, aren't they, Keel?"
"Ah? Oh, yes. Yes, it should work." Kiel put down the mask, but his face turned red. In fact, he didn't know what to do in his heart, but everyone, including the knight, seemed to be very confident.
He was not only a little nervous, but also worried about what would happen if everyone failed because of his plan this time? But when it was impossible to say these things at this time, he understood this point. Even if it is stubborn, the plan must be carried out, after all, the northern land wolves on the opposite side have already walked out of the forest in groups.
-
Even if it was hundreds of meters away, Kiel could clearly see the wolf king who was at least three times taller than ordinary northern land wolves.
It was a huge monster. Sorry, in Kiel's opinion, it is several times larger than the same kind, and it feels more correct to call it a monster.
The wolf king's hair is snow-white, which is completely different from the gray hair of ordinary northern land wolves. Looking at the tall snow-white hair, Keel felt as if he had seen something similar somewhere.
But he couldn't remember it anyway.
Although the overall body of the Wolf King is tall, he is rather thin. If it is not so big, it should look very handsome and beautiful when it is shrunk down. But after all, it is too big, and its single paw is as tall as an ordinary person.
Even at such a distance, Kiel could see bursts of hot breath from the wolf king's open mouth, and a mouthful of snow-white teeth no smaller than a child's arm.
Its claws also popped out, narrow and bright. Kiel had no doubts that he could tear his armor apart with one claw and cut him open in one fell swoop.
After hesitating for a while, Kiel opened the small pouch at his waist, took out a sugar pill inside, quickly opened the visor and put it in his mouth. The hunter next to him glanced at him, but didn't pay attention, only thinking that Kiel wanted to eat something to fill his stomach before the battle.
Within a few meters of the wolf king, no other northern land wolves dared to approach. It didn't look like pure awe, but it seemed that they were afraid of the wolf king again.
Kiel took a closer look and found that the snow on the ground around the wolf king who was walking slowly was melting away quickly. The messy snow-covered ground that was trampled by them and the pioneers of the northern land wolves was because they were close to the wolf king.
No, it should be that after the wolf king came over, it quickly melted and turned into wet water.
This reminded Kiel of the weird northern land wolf he fought before. If the Northern Land Wolf's ability comes from this, then it makes sense.
Obviously, everyone's eyesight is not bad, and basically everyone saw this scene.
Knight Lanisa raised her head slightly and took a deep breath, deciding not to let the wolves approach so blatantly and slowly.
Less than a hundred meters away, Knight Lanisa and the Northern Land Wolf King looked at each other.
The wolf king swept left and right a little, and Kiel even felt his hair all over his body get a little pricked up. He clenched the spear in his hand tightly, and his breathing became disordered.
Not the same, really different from the previous World of Warcraft. Although the wolf king was far smaller in size than the spider-shaped monster they had defeated before, the oppressive force was completely different when viewed in person.
Keel even felt that the other party seemed to be able to grab him in two with one claw.
"Huh." The knight took a long breath and said slowly, "Don't look at that guy."
Keir and the two young hunters quickly turned their heads away, no longer looking directly at the wolf king.
There were at least two hundred northern land wolves squatting together in piles. Keel took a look and found that not all of them were adult northern land wolves, and some fast-growing young wolves seemed to be mixed in. inside. This made him breathe a sigh of relief. Although these northern wolves did not seem to be all assembled, it was obvious that most of them with fighting ability had already come here.
-
The two sides were in a stalemate for a while, and the human side was on the alert, and everyone was on guard against the attack of the wolves at any time.
To be honest, under normal circumstances, the wolves would never attack a human stronghold that had made such a defense. It's a pity that Knight Lanisa and her hunter team have a deep hatred with the Northland Wolves.
Usually the northern land wolf attacks human roads and villages everywhere, and hunters will also kill wolves in winter. Of course, there are also some reasons for the knight himself, but the matter has come to this point, and the two parties are already dead.
"Woo!"
The wolf king let out a short cry, and the wolves behind him squatted in place one by one, as if they had heard some order.
Then the huge wolf king approached in small steps, walking quickly towards the rock passage.
Keir felt that ordinary people like them must not be opponents of each other, so he looked directly at the female knight. After seeing the wolf king's movements, Knight Lanisa closed her visor and squatted slightly.
After accumulating power, a backflip on the wooden wall landed on the back of the standing horse behind the wooden wall.
The female knight sat on the saddle accurately. The heavy impact brought by her full body armor did not knock down this unusually powerful war horse, and her body only swayed slightly.
Then the knight put the soles of his feet into the stirrups on both sides of the horse's belly, pulled the reins, and the horse stood up carrying her.
Hululu, the war horse neighed, and after the raised forefoot fell down, it lowered its body to accumulate strength, and without a run-up, it jumped straight forward, leaped over the two-meter-high wooden wall, and came from behind the position to the front of the position.
Boom.
The four hooves fell, and Keel and the others could feel the vibration on the wooden wall. Then the horse ran forward without the driver of Lanisa knight. The knight tugged the reins slightly, guiding the horse around the metal clips scattered on the ground, rushing out of the rock passage, and facing the wolf king.
-
Seeing the female knight charging forward, the wolf king opened his mouth and exhaled hot air, revealing his sharp teeth. Then when the knight was approaching, he jumped sideways and dodged the female knight holding a spear.
It ran two steps in a row, and came to the mound of the ditch dug outside the passage, glanced at the wooden thorns at the bottom of the ditch on both sides and the wolf blood left by the northern land wolf the night before.
As if disdainful, it let out a short roar.
Boom boom, boom boom. Cavalier Lanisa steered the horse, quickly turned around, and charged towards the wolf king again unhurriedly.
Unexpectedly, the wolf king just glanced at the female knight who was rushing again, then took two steps forward, and came to the entrance of the rock passage. The hunters all drew up their bows and arrows, and Kiel also held his spear tightly, and came to the middle of the wooden wall.
Unexpectedly, the wolf king had no intention of moving forward, it just stretched out a front paw, and fiddled with a metal clip with its sharp claws.
Ka ballast.
The metal clip that was pulled closed quickly.
Knight Lanisa slowed down and approached the wolf king, and the spear in her hand hit the wolf king with a strong sound of wind.
But the wolf king just jumped on the spot, jumped four meters high, then kicked his hind legs, stepped on the mountain at the entrance of the rock passage, and leaped longitudinally towards the direction of the wolves.
Knight Lanessa tugged on the reins to slow down, keeping her steed from the metal clips. She turned her head to look in the direction of the wolf king, and found that the opposite wolf king had returned to the front of the wolves, and was barking in a low voice, as if explaining something to the northern wolf under him.
Knight Lanisa checked the weapons and equipment she was carrying, and then said to Kiel and the others: "Everyone, the battle has begun, and everything is going according to plan."
After finishing speaking, she gave a quick knight's salute, and then steered the horse to charge out again.
But this time, the wolf king quickly howled and finished explaining things, then turned and rushed towards the human knight.
The difference is that from the direction of the forest where the wolves came, a white object rose from a direction higher than the forest, flying away towards the battle place between the wolf king and Lanisa knight.
Compared with just now, Knight Lanisa clamped the horse's belly tightly this time, and instead of holding the rein, both hands were holding the metal spear. The horse knew how to run by itself, and the knight only needed to control it. The speed of the horse will do.
Flying hooves, snow and melted snow splashed, the knight rushed towards the wolf king at high speed. The spear in his hand also changed positions on both sides of his body, not giving the opponent a chance to lock the weapon. Even so, when Knight Lanisa waved the metal spear, she faintly directed the point of the killing spear towards the wolf king.
On the wolf king's side, all the claws on his limbs popped out from the soles of his feet, and he didn't rush towards the human knight, but jumped forward from left to right. Although the speed is not fast, it does not need the speed of running to fight. With its tall body, long front claws and sharp claws, it can completely fight like a human knight's spear.
It jumped left and right to avoid the frontal impact of the human knight. After all, although its body is larger, it is actually thinner than it looks, and its wide body is more of the feeling brought by the long hair on its body. Therefore, its overall weight is far inferior to that of a human knight with armor on both horses and horses. It was known a few years ago that a frontal collision would be a disadvantage.
Therefore, the wolf king jumped left and right, not only avoiding the frontal collision of the human knight, but also taking advantage of the inflexibility of the opponent's horse, which needs to slow down first and then turn, so as to find opportunities to attack from the side or back of the knight.
Knight Lanisa's eyes scanned left and right under the helmet visor, judging the next landing point and the next landing point of the wolf king's left and right jumps, and then! She didn't go straight to the wolf king at this moment, but slightly adjusted the direction of the horse by hitting the horse's belly with her left and right legs~www.mtlnovel.com~.
This is a driving technique that young knights or young cavalry cannot know. She is helping Baron Kendall in the provincial capital, which is why the baron talked about Knight Claw and let Knight Crow teach her the skills of fighting beasts.
The war horse inherited from her father matched her very well. This war horse with rich combat experience, reliable and delicate personality instantly knew the intention passed on to it by its owner.
The direction of the body's running changed slightly, but at the next moment, it directly approached the wolf king who would have avoided it.
"Ha!" Knight Lanisa yelled, the spears that were dancing on both sides of her body retracted, and the shadows of the spears merged into one, piercing the Northern Land Wolf King with the sound of howling wind.
The wolf king's ferocious eyes narrowed for a moment, retracted one of the front paws at the moment of landing, and only used one front paw to land on the ground, and the free front paw instantly slapped the side of the stabbing spear.
High and high.
The moment the spear and the wolf's claw collided, a handful of sparks burst out, but the ear-piercing sound spread from the point of confrontation to all directions. At least they could hear Kiel on the wooden wall in the passage clearly.
Afterwards, Knight Lanisa slammed into the fallen wolf king with his horse and man. The barrel of the gun in her hand rubbed a layer of green smoke with her glove, and seeing the wolf king approaching instantly, Lanisa opened her eyes wide under the knight's mask and was quite excited.
Years of hard training in martial arts is not a waste of time. From being defeated at the beginning, to being driven away, then to a stalemate with it, and then to being able to bring significant damage to the wolves.
As time passed year by year, she gradually gained the power to defeat powerful enemies and take revenge.
Last year, it was difficult to deal with the wolf king's repeated jumping and changing positions. This year, this trick was declared broken at the beginning of the battle.
