Chapter Eight: Confronting the Werewolves(1/2)
“Don’t be afraid!!!!”
"Array!!!!"
Under Marley's order, the mercenaries of the mercenary group immediately formed a line of three, spread out and stood in three rows. The one in the front row was led by Fiona, and they were all mercenaries holding a shield in one hand and a sword in the other.
, and Karu consciously stood in this row when he saw this. The second row was led by Marley and Lista, holding double swords or one-handed swords, ready to charge at any time, while the third row was led by longbows.
It is the first row, because there are not many mercenaries in the mercenary group who use bows and arrows, so this row is formed with 3 shield soldiers on each side to protect the archers, and there is an archer in this row who is Aidan and Ma.
Lee recruited him temporarily before the war started, and I heard that his strength is very impressive.
Marley walked out of the queue and drew his sword. "Ready and obey orders at any time!!!"
The werewolves on the opposite side also gathered together, but the werewolves were savage and violent by nature, irritable and not very smart. After seeing that their strategy was ineffective, they chose to show their cards. Hundreds of werewolves gathered in a dark mass at the other end of the square.
, but there was no order on the werewolves side, they just stood there in a mess and howled. At this time, a slightly larger gray werewolf pushed through the werewolves and walked to the front, with a very disdainful appearance and expression.
This gray werewolf was the one that surrounded Lista and Fiona in the northern ruins. Of course Lista and Fiona also recognized him.
After walking to the front of the werewolf group, the gray werewolf spat, picked up the hammer in his hand, pointed at Marley, and then raised his thumbs down to mock Marley. Although Marley's usually straight-forward personality, it was easy to
Although he was angry, Marley, who was directing the battle, was indeed very calm. He whispered to Lista next to him, "Recruit, I heard Fiona say you are very fast."
Lista is "confident"
Marley: "Okay, follow my instructions and go rescue Deyun."
Lista "Okay..."
The gray werewolf patted the werewolf with a bow and arrow next to him, and pointed at Deyun between the two formations. When he saw the werewolf shouting excitedly, he quickly drew the bow.
"Ah!" An arrow landed on De Yun's shoulder, and De Yun screamed in pain.
Just when the werewolf was getting an arrow from behind and wanted to draw the bow again, the temporary mercenary archer in the last row of the mercenary group hit the werewolf between the eyebrows with an arrow. "Now, recruit."
After receiving the order, Lista rushed towards the center of the square. Seeing the change in the situation, the werewolves on the opposite side became furious. Hundreds of werewolves roared a few times and immediately launched an all-out charge.
Lista couldn't control the horde of wolves rushing towards him. He was confident in his speed, so he just went over to pick up Deyun and came back. However, it wasn't until he ran in front of Deyun that he discovered something tricky. Why was Deyun so stable?
She knelt on the ground and didn't fall down? Because the two knight swords passed through her thighs and calves and were deeply embedded in the ground. Marley in the distance also noticed something strange and saw the werewolf getting closer and closer to Lista.
It was also decided to take measures to cover it up.
"Recruit, lower your body"
Lista heard the instructions behind him. He was new to the mercenary group and didn't understand why he had to lower his body, but he still did it.
"The front row squats, the middle row lowers, and the rear row launches"
As soon as Lista buried her head, she heard Marley's instructions, and saw a row of neat arrows passing over Lista's head, instantly killing the werewolf running in the front row, but the werewolf's offensive did not decrease.
, Lista couldn't think of a better way to deal with it. She put the two swords in her hands back into their sheaths, grabbed the two swords inserted in Deyun's legs with both hands, and pulled them out with all her strength.
"Ah!" With a scream, Deyun finally fainted.
"emission"
Marley did not give Lista a hint this time, because he believed that the recruit would be fine. In addition, the charge of hundreds of werewolves did not give him more time to give orders. Lista lived up to his expectations and just held the
Deyun stood up and Lista lowered his body when he heard the command to launch.
The werewolf did not care about the casualties of its kind, and the charging speed was not slow. Just as Lista left with Deyun in his arms, the werewolf killed by the arrow fell to the position where Deyun was before, but as long as Lista
As soon as they moved, the matter was solved. On the way Lista returned, Marley kept giving orders to launch. Because of the werewolf's mindless charge, after several waves, the werewolf side was also greatly reduced.
Lista placed Deyun on the steps behind the queue, and two mercenaries immediately came to bandage her.
Now that the distance between the werewolves and the mercenary group was only a few meters, the archers stopped shooting, the front and middle rows also stood up, and everyone's momentum reached its highest point.
The shield soldiers in the front row watched the werewolf approach little by little, and Marley, who returned to the team, observed the distance.
"3...2...1, Shield Bash"
Bang!!!
The shield soldiers in the front row picked up their shields and swung forward according to Marley's command. Lista on the side was dumbfounded. He didn't expect Marley, who usually looks like this, to be so good on the battlefield. This command,
Not only did he block the werewolf's impact, but he also directly pushed the werewolf into a pile. Of course, there was another alternative, that was Karu. He didn't have a shield and threw his weapons, so he directly grabbed the two nearest werewolves and threw them into the pile of werewolves.
Throwing it over, it also fell into pieces.
"Middle Platoon, Assault"
As soon as Marley's command came down, the mercenaries in the middle row with swords jumped out from the gap between the mercenaries in the front row. As the werewolves screamed, the mercenaries in the middle row easily killed a group of fallen mercenaries with their weapons.
Werewolves on the ground.
"Return to the team." Seeing the werewolf gradually getting up, Marley gave the order to return to the team. Soon, the mercenaries returned to the middle row through the gap between the front row of shield soldiers.
Although werewolves don't like to use their brains, they are not stupid. They will not attack from the front after suffering a loss. The remaining eight or ninety werewolves are divided into two groups, trying to surround the mercenaries and disintegrate the mercenary group from both sides.
Formation.
This is where Marley has a headache. The mercenary group present is already small, and there is a high chance of winning by using the formation. But if the opponent is surrounded by sheer numbers...
"Fight Free!!!!" Marley finally gave the most exciting order.
"Goddess Morrigan is on top, charge forward!!!!!!"
The mercenaries shouted out the faith of this world, which meant that they were ready to win this war no matter what.
Ouch!!
Not to be outdone, the werewolf howled drowned out the mercenary's voice.
The meaning of free fighting is to freely display according to one's own fighting style.
"Haha!!!!" Karu, who was bare-handed like a beast, rushed towards his weapon with steps that shook the floor. This charge knocked out countless werewolves. But Fiona still maintained her
The unique fighting method includes defense, counterattack, slashing, defense, and occasionally adding a kick. It seems simple, but few people can connect the movements as smoothly as Fiona.
Lista and Marley charged side by side. The two of them had three swords in total, but they killed more than three werewolves in each charge. Lista's attack method was learned from Uncle "Charles" in the gladiatorial arena during his childhood.
Yes, charging with a step and slash. The high-speed movement can not only avoid the enemy's attack, but also increase the intensity of the slash. At least in front of a werewolf about the same size as a human, each slash can take away one, but the werewolf
The large number has limited Lista's performance.
The giant Karu in the distance had already picked up his battle pillar. He waved the battle pillar and charged towards the location with the most werewolves. Every time he waved the huge weapon, he would hit a large area of werewolves, although the attack with blunt weapons was not
It can cause death every time, but with the blessing of Karu's full muscles, it will lose most of its combat effectiveness even if it does not cause death.
Marley's command experience and combat experience were no worse than those of these people. He simply dodged, blocked, and attacked, but this simple attack was fatal. Soon, the battle between the werewolf and the mercenary group filled the entire ruins.
In the square, everyone in the mercenary group was fighting with the werewolves, but there were still some werewolves who had not joined the battle. It can be seen that the number of werewolves completely overwhelmed the Kablan mercenary group. The gray werewolf who was watching the battle behind the werewolves commanded
The werewolves surrounded the mercenaries, but no one noticed that an archer had disappeared from the mercenary group. He was the temporary mercenary hired by Aidan before the war started.
Just when no one noticed anything strange, the high wall made a harsh sound.
Uh-huh!!!
When the mercenaries and werewolves traced back to the source of the sound, the gray werewolf leading the werewolf side had been driven through several arrows to form a huge arrow that passed through his head and was nailed to the stone steps.
I saw the archer standing on the high wall, and the long bow in his hand had turned into a larger bow that was equal to his height.
Marley said excitedly, "Kay, you did a good job."
The archer known as Kay snorted coldly, his face stinking worse than Brin's, but he did not stop what he was doing, took the arrow from his back, and continued to draw the bow.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
This time, the arrows fired by Kai bounced between the werewolves. This was an archery technique that no one had ever seen before. Everyone who observed it was shocked. The arrows seemed to have been planned.
After penetrating the head of one werewolf, it will be refracted to the head of another werewolf. Until the arrow loses power, it will penetrate the heads of at least 6 werewolves.
Werewolves have no mercy, and their hearts will not be shaken at all when their leader dies, but their fighting spirit has always been the most admirable on this continent. In their eyes, as long as they still have
After a few breaths, he will definitely launch an attack. It was the spirit of the werewolf that killed several mercenaries. The werewolf who was thought to have been killed lay on the ground and bit off his own feet with his wolf mouth. Facing a large number of
As soon as the werewolf falls to the ground, he will be trampled and hammered.
Although the werewolves were severely reduced, many inexperienced warriors in the mercenary group were also killed. After half an hour of fighting, the number of hundreds of werewolves was reduced to forty or fifty, and the mercenary group was also reduced from five to fifty.
The number sixty people were reduced to only about thirty people. Everyone in the mercenary group had blood stains on their faces, but Karu's face was clean because he was too tall, but his battle pillar was already
It turned red, and of course there was Kai who was at a high place. There was no reason for his body to be stained with blood.
Since Fiona's fighting style was more stationary, there were more and more corpses around her, gradually forming a small wall around her. The corpses piled up, and the slowly dripping blood also flowed into a line at Fiona's feet.
River, and Lista always lowers his body and moves at high speed among the werewolves. Every part of his body is filled with werewolf blood. During the high-speed movement, the blood will coagulate, and when he stops, he will be stained with new blood.
His whole body felt as if he had been fished out of blood, and his eyeballs had been covered with blood many times while moving at high speeds. However, Lista endured the discomfort in his eyes until the minor crisis around him was resolved, and then took the time to rub them.
Eye.
Fighting makes people forget time. Everyone present is red-eyed, but the long battle makes the hands and feet of everyone in the mercenary group begin to weaken, especially Lista, who consumes a lot of energy with every impact.
Physical strength, because his fighting method is used to quickly kill enemies in the arena. He has never fought in such a long-lasting battle, and he never expected that it would last so long.
"Ouch!!!!!!" The werewolves' energy was much better than that of humans. Seeing that the mercenary group's movements were gradually slowing down, they howled one by one, overwhelming the mercenary group in terms of momentum. Marley was greatly surprised.
Not good.
