Heart of the Castle

Chapter 269 Fighting Wolves at Night, Beastmaster Raids

"Get ready, they are coming!" Li Wei reminded, a layer of silver-white dou qi flashed on the long sword.

A nimble black shadow sprang out from the forest, followed by the second one, and the third one. More and more beasts appeared, and soon the small camp was surrounded.A few gray shadows that walk upright are particularly eye-catching.

"The gray birds of the Beastmaster, it's really them!" Babrupa took a few steps back holding the small poisonous crossbow, and leaning his back on the rock, said hoarsely: "Come on, you greedy guys, Let you see how powerful Master Babrupa is!"

The pack of wolves uttered long, piercing howls one after another, but they all lingered and didn't pounce on them, as if they were waiting for something.This kind of waiting made people even more anxious. Babrupa's fingers on the trigger of the poisonous crossbow twitched nervously. .

Even Wilps, who had experienced many battles, seemed a little nervous. He squinted his eyes and looked at these wolves, and suddenly his tongue twitched.

"Damn it, are these wolves controlled by something?"

"It's the beast king, it must be that guy, he can control any beast and make them fight like an army..." Babrupa said in a trembling voice.

"Impossible, that Radha Brad doesn't have this ability yet. He may be able to drive the wolves to attack us, but he must not let the wolves have such a high level of discipline. Otherwise, he is not one of the mere blood daggers. He will definitely have a place in the elder seat of the Adventurer's Guild," Wilps retorted.

Li Wei is the calmest person, not because he is calmer than Wilps, but because he is the only one who knows the outcome of this battle best.In the heart of the castle, a large number of alchemy fighters are on standby at any time, ready to attack.Although this army failed to turn the tide of the battle against the Lich Hirok at the ruins of the high tower, the mere pack of wolves has not been taken to heart by him.

Only the Beast King himself is the enemy that needs to be dealt with seriously, because he has the power to summon wild beasts as his subordinates, if the battle situation is unfavorable and he escapes, it will cause very serious consequences.Li Wei didn't want to be missed by a guy who could manipulate beasts all the time. His eyes swept around among the wolves, hoping to find the trace of the beast king before the battle.

"About 100 wolves of level 2 to level 3, and a dozen giant wolves that have reached level 4. Those guys in gray robes are all professionals of level 5..." Li Wei was secretly vigilant. This force is no small matter. When Viscount Ryan sent half of the force in the castle to attack Li Wei, it was only 50 elite cavalry of level 3.

Now the wolves besieging Li Wei and others, if not counting the middle and high-level combat power of knights and above, have the strength to compete with the entire Viscountdom.

A mournful howl came from afar, interrupting Li Wei's train of thought, and the young knight raised his eyes to look in the direction of the howl.The probing technique allowed his gaze to penetrate the dim night and land on a huge rock 200 meters away from the right front of the campsite, where there are more than a dozen dark yellow light spots scattered around, guarding the two almost red dots in the middle. Huge spot of light.

"Red, is it around level 10?" Li Wei's eyes flickered. Enemies at this level are not easy to deal with, and they are already equivalent to the level of a great knight commander.

The wolf howled again, like a charge horn.Those wargs who were still lingering just now let out a ferocious roar, and the short, dry hair on their backs stood up, revealing their sharp teeth and rushing forward!

The black shadows surged and jumped in all directions, and an unknown number of wolves pounced on them for a while. Li Wei and Wilpus standing in the front roared at the same time, and the silver-white and fiery-red battle qi rays of light bloomed together, and the two long swords The sword pierced through the dark night, and the bodies of the few wolves rushing forward were sliced ​​open like butter, and their roars suddenly turned into shrill screams.

However, the death of the previous few wolves did not make these brutal beasts feel the slightest fear. The wolves not only tore the ground and rushed over, but some of them jumped over the bodies of their companions and rushed over from the air. .The first one to do this was punched in the mouth by Wilps, and then stabbed in the chest, fell to the ground and died. Following in the footsteps of his companions.But in this way, Li Wei and Wilps had to deal with the enemies under their feet and the opponents in mid-air at the same time, and they gradually couldn't hold on, and retreated step by step.

This scene fell into the eyes of the silver giant wolf and the beast king. The corners of the giant wolf's mouth were raised slightly, showing a strong sarcastic smile.

"Is this your enemy? Wolf-speaking humans, it seems that they will become food in the mouths of my subordinates."

"Wolf King, powerful, they will fail, now, but not." Beast King replied with a series of low-pitched growls, "A power, they have, burst, it's terrible."

"Then continue to increase the pressure, let me see their strength." After the silver giant wolf finished speaking, he raised his head and let out a long howl. The wargs rushed out towards the battlefield one after another, looking like a group of black ghosts.

The combat effectiveness of this group of wolves is much higher than that of their fellow kin. One of them suddenly opened its mouth wide and rushed towards Li Wei. The young knight slashed at him with a sword, but was dodged by the flexible body of the wolves.

"Be careful, these wolves are much stronger than before." Li Wei issued a warning, and at the same time, the silver-white grudge on his left hand flashed, blocking the sharp teeth of the wolf, and the terrifying fangs closed up and down, but followed by a vague Howling sounded, the wolf rolled backwards and fell out, leaving bits and pieces of wolf blood along the way.

"Master Li Wei, are you injured?" Wilps asked aloud worriedly while resisting the impact of the wolves.

Li Wei shook his arm, and there was a dull pain where he was bitten by the wolf, but there was nothing serious. "I'm fine, but that wolf will only be able to eat liquid food from now on."

Some small white things fell to the ground with Li Wei's movements. If you look carefully, you can find that those are broken wolf teeth, and there are still traces of blood on the broken places.

Glenn Warm joined the battle holding the "Thunderbolt". He didn't have the fighting spirit to protect his body like Li Wei and Wilps, so he could only rely on his agility to walk around the two knights. Stab hard, every time can seriously injure or kill a warg.

With the addition of Glenn Warm, Li Wei and Wilpus also violently counterattacked at the same time. The long sword swished across the body of the warg, blood was sprayed everywhere, and wolf corpses rolled everywhere.After the group of wolf king guards joined, the battle situation, which had been gradually tilted, was brought back by Li Wei and others.

The silver giant wolf's jaw staggered, and impatiently let out a urging howl. Hearing the urging of the wolf king, the wolves became visibly anxious, howling one after another, unable to contact Li Wei and the others for a while The worgs even snarled and fought at each other.

An extraordinarily huge warg stepped on the body of its companion, jumped up in the air, and wanted to pass over Li Wei's head, but when the body was still in mid-air, there was a light pop, and the warg howled triumphantly. He faltered and stopped, his body rushed forward and fell to the ground, he twitched violently a few times, and then remained motionless.

"Ha, did you see, Master Babrupa is amazing, let you try this again! 30!" Babrupa's voice came from behind. The poisonous crossbow in his hand. "30, 30, 30!"

After every yell of Babrupa, there was a soft bang, and one of the worgs in front of Li Wei and Wilps immediately collapsed to the ground.He was amazed by the power of Wilps' poisonous crossbow, but Babrupa's shouts also made him feel a little strange.

"Why did he call 30? Is that a battle cry I haven't heard before?"

Wilps is no stranger to battle horns. Many knights have their own battle horns, and attendants often share the same battle horn with the knights they are loyal to. Some professional soldiers like to use the name of their troops as their battle horn. Templars or templars, who are half religious and half knights, like to shout the names of their gods.

But shouting a number as a battle cry was the first time the well-informed Wilps had heard it.

"Well, that seems to be..." Li Wei burst out laughing, and his hand slowed down, almost letting a warg take advantage of the loophole and bite on his leg.The young knight hastily swung several swords in a row, and the criss-crossing sword lights formed a dense net of death. The rushing wolves fell to the ground and died, and the two who were lucky enough to be uninjured hurriedly fled back with their tails between their legs. go.

Li Wei moved two steps to the side, and continued speaking.

"That seems to be the price of those highly poisonous short arrows. Dark elves have always been expensive. Each exquisite short arrow costs 30 silver coins."

"Now I know why Babrupa's voice is so bitter and bitter." Wilps murmured, and then got up to deal with the wolves.

The silver giant wolf let out a low whine annoyed, because it found that the new tactics did not bring progress, but caused further blows to its subordinates. The light swished, and the tough fur of the warg was cut open like paper; the young human with a short knife was not easy to deal with, not to mention slippery like a hamster, every time the short knife in his hand stabbed As for the short, fat human hiding at the end, without the protection of the three people in front, the wolves could tear him to pieces in an instant, but under the protection of those people, But this guy kept shooting powerful short arrows with the toy in his hand.Any warg that was shot by those short arrows, even if it only scratched the tip of its tail, would immediately fall to the ground and die screaming.

The giant silver wolf shook its silver mane irritably. It looked like a cold flame ignited in the night. It watched the corpses of its worgs gradually piling up on the ground, with anger, hatred and faint dread in its eyes. Come.The campsite chosen by Li Wei and others was indeed convenient for defense. The four of them used the rock behind them as a barrier to form a small defensive circle.Although the wargs came up from all directions, the ones who could really get in touch with a few humans were the first ones.

A panicked neighing of a horse caught the attention of the giant silver wolf. Levi and the others were tethered to several large oak trees next to the rock. During the training, almost going crazy from the strong breath of the warg, he was jumping and kicking, trying to pull the reins.

"This is a breakthrough, wolf-speaking humans." The silver giant wolf roared at the beast king in a low voice, "Go let your people kill those horses, it will interfere with the will of those humans, my subordinates only need one chance .”

"The wolf king is strong, but we are weak." The beast king replied, "As long as we strengthen our offensive, we will win."

"These people are your enemies, you and your people must contribute." The silver giant wolf's gaze became menacing, and its roar also brought out a hint of threat. "You don't want to watch my subordinates die, and then come to deal with me?"

The Beastmaster almost showed a shaken expression because of this sentence, he took a step back with a stern face, "Wolf King, you need, obey, we will!" The vocabulary of the wolf's growling language is not rich, the Beastmaster thought To find a word of apology, but in the end he failed.

The silver giant wolf didn't care about the Beastmaster's tone, it silently stretched out its front paws towards the front battlefield, the meaning could not be more clear.

A whistling sound different from that of the giant silver wolf shook the night sky. Beastmaster Radha Brad was ordering his gray-robed lycanthropes to join the battle. Then he bent his body to the ground and supported his body with his hands and legs. Bursts of deep roars emanated from the depths of the Beastmaster's throat, full of animalistic and bloodthirsty impulses.

The Beastmaster's body was trembling violently, his muscles squirmed under the skin as if they had life of their own, his gray robe swelled up, and he tore it off his body.

The silver giant wolf looked at the Beastmaster with a hint of surprise in his eyes, and a disgust that was several times as surprised.Beastmaster Radha Blood is growing a lot of gray hair on the surface of his body, his mouth protrudes forward, several thick and hard beards appear on the sides, and a pink tail is growing from his ass come out.

Radha Brad howled to the sky, his voice was as sharp and unpleasant as iron nails scratching on the glass, his current appearance has completely lost his human form, and he has transformed into a big rat bigger than a wild boar, a rodent The sharp, animal teeth bared from the lips, gleaming with an evil pallor.

"Warlord Rat Demon!" The silver giant wolf said in a cold voice, "After killing these people, you must pay twice the reward, otherwise... this cooperation is the last time, and I will use your head to make up for mine loss to the community."

"As you wish, Wolf King." Radha Brad, who had turned into a big mouse, replied, with a rat-like squeaking sound in his voice, which seemed indescribably evil.

The frightened horse neighed loudly, and several guys in gray robes rushed out from the dark forest, all holding heavy black wooden sticks in their hands, because Wilps' mount seemed majestic and calm, while Wilps Grunwalm's horse was barking and jumping, and couldn't get close for a while, so one of the guys spun the stick around his head a few times, and smashed it hard on Babrupa's mount.

The pony that originally belonged to Li Wei has also received combat training, but there is no good way to resist this kind of attack. The pony dodges the first blow, then takes a step back, and avoids the second blow Attacking, but the reins tied to the tree were at the end, and the guy let out a grin, and was about to smash the pony's head with a hard blow.

A palpitating long hiss came from the other side of the oak tree, followed by a gust of wind. The gray-robed man who was about to hit the pony's head had just turned half his body when his forehead was hit heavily by a huge black horse's hoof. In the kick, the force of this kick was really terrifying, the gray-robed man's skull couldn't bear it, and it exploded with a disgusting sound, red blood and gray-white brain splashed all over his companion behind him.

A gigantic black horse stood next to the body of the dead gray-robed man, and its blood-red eyes seemed to be burning with fierce fire from hell.The gray-robed men couldn't help but tremble when they saw this scene, and one of them who recognized the black horse even blurted out.

"Nightmare of the North!"

The black horse responded to the gray-robed man with a fierce hiss, and then the black figure trampled towards these guys. The gray-robed man standing in front immediately wanted to fight back with the heavy wooden staff in his hand, and replaced the companion behind him. It took some time to transform into beasts, but as soon as they raised their hands, they were knocked away by an irresistible terrifying force, and the gray robes on their bodies immediately burned violently.

Resist the Ring of Fire!

The bloodline from the nightmare of hell once again showed its terrifying power, the black nightmare soared into the air, and stomped viciously towards the gray-robed men who had begun to transform.These guys have just transformed into a mouse head or a hairy arm. The pain of the transformation made them unable to move at all. They could only let out a miserable howl, and then they were trampled on by the black flame-burning hooves of the black horse. physically.

This was the miserable scene that the Beastmaster, who was running over under the cover of night, saw. The gray birds, which were almost his status symbols, were trampled and smashed by a terrible black horse, and they were routed.Rada Brad's mouse eyes flashed fury, but he didn't have the slightest intention of stopping to help his subordinates, but quickly rushed towards the battlefield between wolves and humans.

Radha Bullard, who is experienced in killing, has judged that this dark horse is an enemy that he is difficult to deal with. Now he only hopes to bite the neck of the young knight who is the first target, and inject the curse of revenge That youthful and healthy body.

Of course, Radha Bullard wouldn't mind taking the same sip on that guy's neck if the booze dealer didn't triple... no, five times his pay.

5000 gold coins?This is too much of a loss-making business.

Thinking like this, the beast king quietly came to the place where wolves and humans were fighting fiercely. It could be seen that several people, including Li Wei, had put all their energy into dealing with the waves of wolves that were rushing up. The two figures burning fiery red and silvery white douqi are like two torches, which are particularly conspicuous in the night.

Li Wei turned around and drew out his sword fiercely, a silver sword light radiated, and the surrounding wolves retreated one after another. Two of them were a step behind, and half of their heads were immediately swept away by the sharp sword light.

"It's now!" Beastmaster Radha Brad kicked his hind legs on the ground suddenly, his whole body flew up, and leaped towards Li Wei who had just retracted his sword and hadn't gained a firm footing in the air!
