Heart of the Castle

Chapter 73 The Demon Knights Attack

There was unprecedented anxiety and fear in Uncle Donner's voice, and Hua Lun's expression changed immediately. He grabbed the spear beside him and stood up.

"Brother Donna, what did you hear?"

"Brother Hua Lun, don't listen to Uncle Donna's nonsense, he would come and say this twice every night. At first, I was so scared that I didn't dare to go there, for fear that the devil was waiting outside the house."

Hans' greasy voice caused a burst of belly laughter from several villagers, and the laughter quickly spread, and the neighboring villagers also laughed, and finally even Martha couldn't help but bent down and giggled .

Only Donner and Warren didn't have any smiles.

"Martha, take the girls and hurry back!" Warren's voice was harsher than ever before. Martha raised her eyebrows, and when she was about to refute, she saw a trace of difficulty under the ranger's livid expression. Perceived plea.

"Warren, is what Brother Donna said true? But in such a dense forest, how could there be cavalry rushing over?" Martha said in a low voice.

"I believe Brother Donna is right. Before he was injured, he was the best ranger and scout." Warren's expression was tense, and the corners of his mouth barely moved. He said in a low and fast voice . "Let's go now, go to the camp to find Lord Li Wei, and let him get ready."

"Warren, what do you do?" Martha finally began to realize the seriousness of the problem.

"With our two legs, we can't outrun the cavalry! Instead of being chased and killed by the opponent when we are retreating, it is better to stay here. In any case, the forest is not the home of the cavalry!" Hua Lun's voice was like a bowstring , stretched tightly.Having said this, he took the lance in both hands, stepped forward, and shouted the order.

"Brothers, if there is a situation, step back immediately and put up all the logs!"

"Warren..." Martha yelled worriedly. Warren's body shook, but he used his willpower to stop his determination to look back. Warren was terrified. If he saw the tears in Martha's eyes, Will his belief in fighting to the death be shaken?

Warren's order was obviously much more effective than Donna's warning. Although the villagers still looked half-believing, they immediately began to prepare. With a strong arm, they lifted up the logs piled on the ground and exchanged opinions. It formed a horse-shaped thing.A few minutes later, the empty field turned into a pile of wooden racks on the east and a pile on the west. The ends of the logs that were cut into sharp ends were all facing the direction of the depths of the forest.

The sound of horseshoes coming from the ground, even ordinary people can clearly hear it now, they are really cavalry, and there are quite a few of them.The dense horseshoes knocked on the ground like a storm. These sounds seemed to step directly on the heartstrings of the villagers, making everyone pale.

Tang Na's lips were moving rapidly. Half a minute later, he seemed to be relieved, and then said softly, "Fifty cavalry."

This number made Warren beside him couldn't help but groan.

There are more than 60 villagers in charge of logging, but these villagers who have not been trained and have only a handful of strength have no way to resist the same number of cavalry attacks!
"Be careful, the enemy appears!"

Tang Na suddenly gave a sharp warning, then raised his hand, and a stone made a sharp sound of breaking wind, and smashed into the depths of the forest.Then a small black animal appeared there like a ghost, and was hit on the head by a stone.With a piercing scream, the figure riding on his back was overturned.

There was nothing natural about this monstrous black animal, like a wolf and a donkey that some bad sculptor has kneaded together to form a monstrosity that can only be seen in nightmares.The place where the stone hit happened to be the monster's mouth. Two of the sharp yellow fangs were broken, and the smelly blood flowed out. There was a faint smell of sulfur in the air.

"Is it the devil's breath?" Hua Lun blurted out in surprise.

Tang Na shook his head slowly, and said with a heavy tone: "It's not a real demon, but a creature distorted by the power of the demon. These things are controlled by the demon, and they are involuntarily sad puppets. Among them will be a The real devil, only by killing the real devil can these walking dead be eliminated."

As if to verify what Tang Na said, the figure thrown to the ground by the mount suddenly struggled to stand up. When he was thrown to the ground just now, his left foot had obviously bent over, but the figure didn't seem to feel anything. , just use that leg bent at a terrible angle to support the body and climb up!

There was a commotion of fear among the villagers.

"Don't be afraid, there is a repelling horse formed by a big tree here, these monsters can't rush over. And Martha and the others have gone back to report to Lord Li Wei, and the support from the camp will come soon!" Hua Lun's stern voice whipped these hearts The fearful villagers, and after seeing the figure standing up, did not make any more movements, just stood there blankly, and the villagers gradually calmed down.

They held the felling ax and the saw tightly with both hands, as if there was some courage coming from their shoulders that were close together. The villagers glanced around anxiously. Every dark shadowy place seemed to be filled with many evil spirits and ghosts. The devil is trying to devour flesh and blood, biting its throat.

More riders appeared nearby, like ghosts, wandering among the bushes and shadows, flickering.Their mounts let out strange laughs like hyenas, and from time to time there were stinky saliva in their open mouths, and they made a clear corrosion sound when they touched the ground.

The monster that was injured by the stone roared in a low voice, its scarlet and ferocious eyes stared at Tang Na's direction like a wild wolf, as if threatening, but hesitant to rush forward.

Tang Na sneered, and picked up another stone from his feet. Just as he gestured to throw it, the monster let out a strange cry and fled into the forest with its tail between its legs!
"Hahaha..." The embarrassed look of the monster made the villagers laugh, and the deliberate laughter dispelled the fear of these shadows, "Since it is a cowardly beast, there is no need to be afraid." With the idea, the hands of the villagers holding the axes and saws became firm.

Tang Na also laughed, but just after he laughed, his voice was cut off suddenly.

A wail came from the depths of the dense forest, and then a strange looking corpse was thrown forcefully, falling in the middle of the empty field with scattered blood.The monster that just ran into the forest with its tail between its legs had already lost the part above the neck, and the sharp wound proved that the person who killed the monster only slashed with a sword.

There was a heavy sound of hoofbeats, and then a black cloud poured out like the deepest dark night. The villagers let out low cries of surprise. Only Warren and Donna didn't make a sound, but their expressions were even more ugly. .

As the black clouds gathered, it was only at this time that it could be seen that what appeared from the forest was not a black cloud, but a knight who covered half of his body with a hooded cloak. Both the man and the horse were wearing thick black armor. Sharp iron thorns protrude from all parts of the armor, and the thick rust color is accumulated on it, which looks like a terrifying murder weapon.

"A real knight?" Hua Lun asked in a soft voice with the corners of his mouth moving.Tang Na, who was being questioned, smiled bitterly, and then replied in a soft voice: "It must be, and he is a knight who has reached the threshold of a high level, and has already comprehended the Sanhua of Dou Qi."

"Look, what is blocking the way of the Demon Slave Knights? A group of country bumpkins, with the smell of mud on their hands." A strange and hoarse voice sounded, with a strong devilish tone, and then a man with a long back on his back Monsters with two huge bat wings appeared on the treetops, and some of them looked like a mixture of apes and dogs, with extremely evil smiles on their faces.

"Sir Lorshaw, your Demon Slave Knights are just a bunch of trash, right?"

"Waste? Puske, just open your eyes and see, these trash under my command, crush all enemies who dare to block the way!" The black knight replied coldly, and then he took off the saddle. A black longbow with a height of half a man was mounted on a jet-black and sharp arrow.

"Slave Knights, attack!"

After the cold order, the knight suddenly let go of the bowstring, and the pitch-black arrow made a sharp sound of piercing wind, and shot towards the villagers lined up for defense!
