Chapter 525 Liberation
However, the next day, Rodrigo found that the pursuers had disappeared; but his party was also being targeted by unknown existences in the mountains; although everything was normal during the day, there were crowds of noises at night , making people sleepless at night wandering outside the firelight of the campsite.

On the third day, when they were on the road, they found a large mess of wild animal footprints, as well as piles of chewed fresh bones and feces.When Rodriguez and his party were walking on the road, they heard more and more howls of wild beasts, and from time to time, there was a flash of intense movement.

However, when Rodrigo personally led the team to investigate, he had already fled and disappeared without a trace; but when he turned around, he got unexpected news that the companions who were looking after the mules, horses and mounts were attacked by many large wild animals.Although because of his high vigilance, he was only slightly injured.

However, several of the transporting animals in the team were culled and killed on the spot, and more than a dozen of them were scattered and fled; the fleeing team lost more than half of its animal strength at once, so that some people could only Walk forward; the speed of travel also slows down.

This result also raised Rodrigo's vigilance to the highest level.After all, beasts that act by instinct are not terrible, even beasts that suddenly become huge under the influence of changes in the celestial sphere; because they at least have the awareness of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages.

However, this time, for the first time, a group of giant wolves the size of a calf appeared in the mountains and forests, but they broke this common sense with obvious actions.They are not for hunting at all but purely for attack.Therefore, Rodrigo rejected without hesitation, the suggestion of assigning manpower to retrieve the escaped livestock;
And at noon on the fourth day, a small mountain village/settlement that Roderick encountered once again proved his conjecture and judgment.Because all the living things inside were killed and dragged away.And on the only intact wall inside the village, blood and internal organs are used to depict strange figures.

The only pond and the mouth of the well were also deliberately thrown into the fragments of corpses, making it undrinkable.This result also brought the tense and depressive atmosphere to the limit in the team of only 30 people left.But Roderick didn't flinch, instead he took the initiative to comfort and encourage them.

And vowed that he would never give up any of his companions before he fell down; as a result, the village was attacked that night by a herd of beasts emerging from the darkness.But this time, Rodrigo, who had been prepared for a long time, set up simple traps and ambushes in the ruins of the village.

Driven by some invisible force, the herd of beasts rushed in, but failed to find enough hunting targets; instead, they were frightened by the sudden ignited fire around them.It also became a conspicuous target for arrows constantly shot from high places such as barns and churches; leaving behind a pile of corpses, they scattered in all directions.

After dawn, it was discovered that more than a dozen giant wolves, as well as several deformed big-horned deer with sharp teeth, had been killed in this deliberately left village.But this result also angered the manipulators who had been hiding behind the scenes in disguise; they took the initiative to show up in front of them.

However, seeing that the terrain is getting lower and lower, and the wilderness beyond the mountains and forests is far away; a small mistake has driven the survivors to a dead end.They went in the wrong direction in the melee, and were forced onto the edge of a precipice; just below the precipice was the road.

Think of the beautiful hometown of France,

Even if the mountains are high and the water is deep

First, a few seriously wounded people on the frame were dragged away by the attacking wild beasts under one another without time to cope; then some people couldn't bear it anymore and had a mental breakdown, shouting the taboo of God in their mouths, and took the initiative to charge Where the herds of beasts were densely packed, they were torn to pieces on the spot in order to get relief in a disguised form.

Think of the heroic knights of my kind;
He sighed, couldn't stop the tears from rolling down..."

He even used extraordinary strength to impale a shepherd who was closest to him with a section of the flag gun that was thrown out of nowhere, temporarily saving and alleviating the critical situation.But his bravery still didn't help to change, and he became more and more declining under the seemingly endless attacks of strange beasts.

However, Rodrigo could vaguely see that it was a series of scorching iron balls bouncing and flying among the herd of beasts with faint smoke trails.At the bottom of the cliff, a whole-body army is rapidly approaching; what is held high in the air is a banner of a golden sun with a blue background and a smiling face.

no food, no clothes
since the enemy came forward

Facing Spain, recalling the past:
He thought of the vast rivers and mountains captured;

We are all pilots

in the dense woods

no gun no knife
the enemy made us

In the end, with the dense stronghold of the last group of Druid believers, they were destroyed and leveled by the Crusaders; they were forced to convert or slaughtered.The legend of the shepherd related to it has also become one of the materials used by mothers to frighten children who refuse to sleep peacefully in various versions of Hessian nursery rhymes.

As for the three animal shepherds who had already appeared, two of them were suddenly knocked down, trampled over, and trampled by the wild beasts around them; they were never able to stand up again.The knights who saw this scene couldn't help cheering with tears streaming down their faces: "Saint Laurent bless you!" "God has appeared."

During the short interval when the herd began to gather, these young knights, their subordinates, and mercenaries even sang the oldest song of the Holy Kingdom in unison in a farewell style. "The Song of Roland" with the model Saint Laurent:
"Roland lay under the green pine tree,

The time that followed turned into harassment and sneak attack regardless of day and night, endless offense, defense and counterattack.And Rodrigo, who was originally tall and burly, also became bruised, scraggly, and emaciated under several days of continuous fighting and fighting...

After losing a companion, the animal herdsmen became more vigilant and cautious, and no longer obsessed with frontal attacks in one go; instead, they took turns to attack more and more frequently to weaken and wear them down.As a result, more and more casualties and exhaustion accumulated inadvertently.

It is said that some of them gradually acquired the ability to psychic and drive certain mutant beasts after the celestial sphere changed;It once played a very important role in fighting against the invasion of the Roman Legion.

However, the drop of dozens of meters has become their last obstacle of despair.However, most of the people who persisted until this time calmed down because of this; they all began to thank and express their gratitude for being able to fight these aliens with Rodrigo until the last moment.

But the Holy Kingdom, as the birthplace of chivalry, is also the country with the toughest attitude towards these heretics; how could it be that in the Pyrenees mountainous area in the south of the mainland, a plurality of animal shepherds easily appeared; What about his fully armed fugitive team?
Even Rodrigo didn't want to think about the possible meaning behind this.At this moment, he already wanted to leave this mountainous area full of crises and threats.However, since the other party took the initiative to show up to demonstrate, how could it be possible to easily give up the established goal?

However, the sudden roar of thunder interrupted their chanting, as well as the howling of the beasts around them.Rodrigo, who was full of grief and indignation, couldn't help but look up at the sky, but the sky was still clear with clouds, and there was no sign of thunder or rain at all.

We have countless good brothers

As a price, at least hundreds of deformed beasts were beheaded by his great sword; when the battle was most intense, his usual dual-wielding great sword was broken, and he was killed by a huge six-tusk wild boar. In the body; but can only continue to fight by stimulating the blood power of the honor knight.

They were a few savages covered in mud, wearing dirty animal skins, and wearing cage crowns with tree branches and vines on their heads.However, when Rodrigo led people around secretly, intending to launch an assault unpredictably; these wild men in animal clothes with tree crowns seemed to sense it, and pushed into the forest first.

However, in this difficult and dangerous situation, as a captive Simone who was forced to accompany her, she showed a surprising other side; she no longer had any self-pity or condemnation and complaints, but she took the maid to help And took care of the wounded and comforted them with words.

Although it was only a brief demonstration and meeting, the images of these savages also reminded Rodrigo of the records in ancient texts; as a certain legend of the Germanic people in the forest.The druid priest group known as the son of the forest, a cruel and bloody branch - the orc herders.

The animal shepherds who appear and disappear in the woodland once became the nightmare of Roman soldiers.However, as the influence of the changes in the sky gradually subsided; in the end, it was difficult to resist the continuous killing of the army armed to the teeth, and the advancement of a large number of foreign immigrants to cut down the mountains and build settlements and fortresses.

Everywhere is the camp of comrades-in-arms

At the same time, there are faint musical instrument playing and chorus singing:
"We are all sharpshooters
Kill an enemy with every shot

on a high hill

Afterwards, those same scarred and restless beasts gathered on the edge of the cliff under the forcible restraint of a certain will; suddenly, without warning, their flesh and blood exploded one after another; while the other deformed beasts Suddenly frightened bombardment scattered around.

Then, he persuaded him to leave alone with Simone.Because, for the physique and blood of a knight of glory, there is still a certain probability of surviving this level of height difference.In this way, they would not be in vain, following Rodrigo's original intention of fleeing all the way.

we grew up here

Every inch of land is our own
no matter who wants to take it

We'll fight him to the end."

As the background of singing and musical instruments, there is the roar of cannons firing one after another; almost chasing the swaying movement in the mountains and forests, knocking down trees, bursting a lot of soil and dead branches and leaves.
