Chapter 400: War, Humans and Orcs, Knights and Warriors
Rosalind was indeed a little anxious, with red anger burning in her black pupils.
“Haven’t we been holding on for many days? Why is it suddenly so disadvantageous?”
Before he came, the Xiangshan Plain Fortress was peaceful, but less than two days after he arrived here, the Xiangshan Plain Fortress was overrun by werewolves.
As a demon hunter, he could see clearly that many soldiers on the battlefield were no match for the werewolves and could only rely on the fortress’s own defenses to fight back, but this was not a solution.
The North Wind Province is very important to Meyers. In thirty years, it can become a huge altar to eliminate the hidden dangers in the bloodline of the Meyers family. The invasion and occupation of the orcs is an unacceptable blow to Meyers.
But Rosalind was not here to fight these werewolves; she only had a few opponents.
Thinking of this, the legend raised his head. He felt a terrible, wild and fishy wind coming from afar. It was the breath of legend.
Then he saw a gray wolf running on the ground. It seemed to feel his gaze and jumped into the forest. Then it jumped to the top of the mountain and kept jumping on the top of the mountain. Finally, it approached the fortress.
“act recklessly.”
Rosalind snorted coldly. The war situation made him angry, and now another legend had arrived.
The legend rushed out, leaving a dark path behind him, and then a pair of hideous wings grew out. They were the wings of a devil. The wings allowed Rosalind’s speed to increase to an unimaginable state. He rushed towards the legendary werewolf, and in the latter’s horrified eyes, he stretched out his palm and smashed it heavily on the werewolf’s body.
Countless snow in the mountains and forests flew up, which was the violent noise caused by the werewolf’s impact. The gray wolf turned into a werewolf and looked at Rosalind in shock.
“demon?”
He knew demons, but demons weren’t supposed to look like this, and they weren’t supposed to walk around with humans.
The wings behind Rosalind disappeared, and she floated in the sky, looking down at the gray-haired werewolf below. When she heard the other party’s words, she sneered.
“An ignorant beast.”
The next moment, the two sides collided among the overlapping shadows. The speed of both of them was terrifyingly fast, and ordinary people could not notice their movements at all. The fighting methods of both sides were extremely primitive. Rosalind was an extraordinary person on the path of a legendary knight, but he did not have his own armor, weapons, or mount.
Instead, he collided with the werewolf with pure flesh.
Every time, the gray-haired werewolf was smashed to the ground. No matter in terms of strength or speed, he was no match for Rosalind. From beginning to end, he was just passively taking the beating.
“The human body shouldn’t be this strong.”
The werewolf climbed up again, feeling somewhat unbelievable, or rather, he couldn’t believe the fact before his eyes.
“Are you talking about humans from a hundred years ago?!”
Rosalind sneered and spread the demon wings behind her. This was not something that humans had more than a hundred years ago. Under the oppression of the Holy See, if humans grew this thing, they would surely die.
The next moment, Rosalind appeared behind the werewolf. Her right hand turned into a ferocious black and red claw and smashed towards the werewolf’s back. This time the werewolf did not fly away, but was pierced through the chest by the devil’s claw. A beating heart appeared in Rosalind’s hand. The next moment, as the strength in her hand increased, the heart shattered instantly.
The werewolf’s claws left a bloody mark on Rosalind’s chest, and then he was thrown out with great force.
Looking at the werewolf lying on the ground, Rosalind looked towards a certain location in the north. The Silver Moon Werewolf King who had just exposed his aura seemed to be surprised by his own condition.
But the other party still did not take action, and did not even think of rescuing the werewolf’s men.
“How cunning.”
Rosalind felt somewhat unwilling, as she had left some tricks for the opponent, but the werewolf king remained indifferent and did not even approach.
Just as she was about to leave, suddenly, behind Rosalind, the werewolf that had been lying on the ground like a corpse struggled to get up, and growled in a hoarse voice with bloodthirsty eyes:
“I am Suno, the blood of the Suno clan.”
Rosalind was still thinking about what the other party meant, the Suno clan, what happened, but the next moment, the heartless werewolf rushed towards her, with a bloody glow on its claws, leaving several bloody marks seven or eight meters long in the air.
Roar–
The werewolf roared deeply, and Sunuo, who was covered in blood, attacked madly. He gave up all defenses and let Rosalind’s attacks fall on him without any reaction. Every serious injury made the werewolf more violent. Rosalind’s original words were not wrong. At this moment, the werewolf had completely turned into a wild beast.
“Sunuo, I remember now, the name of the Immortal.”
Rosalind recalled that the name Suno had been given as the name of the immortal, which meant, directly, that he could not die.
The werewolves’ powerful vitality allows the werewolves in their clan to constantly restore their bodies. The stronger the werewolves are, the weaker their weaknesses are, or no one has found their weaknesses yet.
To kill them, for ordinary werewolves, you have to chop off their heads, but for those who have stepped into the extraordinary realm, you can only burn their bodies to ashes with fire, or wait until their strength can no longer be fully recovered, and then kill them like ordinary werewolves.
As for the legendary werewolf… I’m afraid only the purifying holy light of the Holy See can do it.
In the Xiangshan Plain Fortress.
The nobles all understood the importance of this fortress. According to the nobles’ description, the Xiangshan Plain Fortress in the eyes of the soldiers was almost everything to them.
After the initial panic, the human soldiers gradually began to fight back.
However, this counterattack seems somewhat powerless.
boom!
A spear pierced through a werewolf’s waist. The next moment, the werewolf turned around and slapped Matteo away, causing him to hit the wall heavily. With blood flowing from his mouth, Matteo looked at the werewolf approaching him in horror. As the werewolf approached, the spear that pierced through the werewolf’s waist and abdomen was actually being pulled out bit by bit.
The werewolf’s claws are not as flexible as human hands, and therefore, the process of pulling out the spear is extremely bloody. This is also where Matteo’s fear lies. As the bloody scene ends, the werewolf’s tattered flesh and blood is actually slowly repairing itself.
When he walked in front of him, the werewolf’s body had recovered.
The werewolves belonging to the Suno clan are gradually bringing out the most primitive shock to the humans in this fortress.
“Weak human.”
The werewolf laughed grimly, and the next moment, a shadow fell from above his head. The Flying Wolf Cavalry grabbed the werewolf and flew it into the sky. The knight stabbed the werewolf in the chest and then threw the werewolf down.
The seriously injured werewolf was unable to recover for a while. He fell to the ground with many broken bones. At this time, Matteo quickly crawled over and slashed at the werewolf’s neck frantically with the dagger in his hand.
Finally, the werewolf’s body stopped moving, and Matteo sat on the ground gasping for breath. But he could not rest the next moment because the sounds of fighting around him could be heard.
“I can’t stop it.”
He raised his head and looked at the fortress wall. More and more werewolves appeared on the wall, and then jumped into the fortress like dumplings. The fortress was boiling with chaos, and he didn’t know how many soldiers were still fighting.
Suddenly, the flying werewolves were blown away by the devil’s wings. Dozens of werewolves flew high into the air and fell to the ground, unable to move.
“We need to retreat.”
Rosalind appeared beside Viscount Landa, his body covered in blood. The witcher didn’t seem to care about the blood on his body at all. Instead, he was somewhat excited by the blood.
However, seeing him like this, Viscount Landa felt a little scared.
Especially, this person was holding a pool of meat paste in his hand, and the meat paste was still moving, as if it was alive. The scene was weird no matter how you looked at it.
“No retreat.”
Viscount Landa gritted his teeth and roared.
“This is the last line of defense. Either we die here or we defeat the orcs. There is no other choice. Without the Xiangshan Plain Fortress, the orcs will march straight in. In the entire North Wind Province, no city can stop these werewolves.”
“Do you know how many people are in this fortress? Two hundred and fifty thousand!!!”
“A full 250,000 people, retreat? How?”
“Soldiers can evacuate, but can civilians and slaves evacuate?”
Hearing this, Rosalind also fell silent. She didn’t expect that there would be so many humans in this fortress.
“But we can’t hold this place anymore. The soldiers from the Northern Wind Province cannot be wiped out here, otherwise we will lose all our chances.”
“Then what were they doing when I told them to send more troops!?”
Viscount Landa was completely furious and roared at Rosalind. “Three times, three times!”
“I have watched the orcs plunder and occupy my land three times! The glory of Viscount Landa’s family has been trampled by me like dirt, and the nobles are all laughing at the dignity I carry!”
“But what about them! They have never been willing to send all their troops here.”
“If we have 300,000 troops, we can hold the fortress no matter how many werewolves there are.”
Viscount Landa turned and left, sending his knights to give orders continuously.
“Fight to the death, fight to the death! This fortress is a whole day’s distance away from the nearest Hanshan City. It will take a whole day’s running to get there. In between is a plain without any obstacles!”
“Can you outrun the orcs? Look at the speed of the werewolves. Can you outrun them?”
“Fight to the death. Only by fighting to the death can we survive!”
Viscount Landa’s voice echoed throughout the huge fortress, and naturally there were magicians around him.
Hearing the sound of his description, the soldiers also recalled the appearance of the Xiangshan Plain. When they came here, they were also amazed that the land here was so flat, but now, the flat land cut off their hope of retreat.
“No one is allowed to leave!”
Viscount Landa grabbed the Flying Wolf Knight who was delivering the message and yelled at him:
“Without my order, no one of the Flying Wolf Cavalry or the Dragon Blood Warrior Legion is allowed to leave!”
“I swear in the name of the Viscount that no one can leave this fortress.”
Most humans couldn’t leave even if they wanted to, because their panicked escape and the chaotic war had made them lose their direction, and there were too many werewolves. No matter which direction they ran, they would encounter werewolves, and when they encountered werewolves, there was no other choice but to fight.
The roar of the nobles inspired the human army’s last bit of morale and courage to survive in desperate situations, and within the army, the mutual encouragement was more cordial and real.
“War bears witness to our glory!”
Matteo was also roaring. His identity was still useful in front of the lower-level soldiers. He had nothing to say and could only repeat what Baron Ryan had said.
Then, he led the army of an unknown noble and rushed towards the stairs of the fortress wall.
The glory of mankind can always shine in desperate situations. In the army, many knights led their soldiers to rush towards the fortress walls. Several times, they actually recaptured the walls, preventing more werewolves outside the fortress from entering smoothly.
But every time they took it back, they would lose it soon. After all, that was the first place where the werewolves would stop after entering the fortress, and the number of werewolves and their desire to attack were the most intense.
The human soldiers continued to counterattack and recapture the high walls, while the werewolves captured them again and again. Looking down from the sky at the entire Xiangshan Plain Fortress, there was almost no peaceful place to be seen.
boom!
On the city wall, a werewolf violently knocked a knight away. The knight flew out of the city wall and fell heavily to the ground inside the fortress. His fall also meant that the battle for the city wall ended with the failure of mankind.
The knight fell to the ground and vomited blood. He knew very well that he would not survive. He abided by the knight’s code and fulfilled the knight’s honor. He fought for his lord and for humanity until the last moment.
The next moment, his cloudy vision became clearer as his eyes suddenly widened. He watched the werewolf that was stepping on him run over, his mind filled with fear.
That location was in the direction of the fortress gate. Dozens of werewolves were surrounding it, holding some terrified and incontinent slaves and civilians in their hands, and roaring loudly about something.
The Cavaliers knew what they were doing.
“Can’t open, can’t… open.”
As the gears of the mechanism slowly swayed, the werewolves left the powerless humans behind, and dozens of werewolves bit the gears with their fangs, then slowly raised the three gates of the fortress little by little.
As the knight’s eyes faded, he saw the world outside the fortress. The bloated werewolf army crawled on the ground like wolves and crawled in through the gaps before the metal gate was fully raised.
“It’s over…”
The knight watched in despair as the werewolves, no longer hindered and no longer having to perform acrobatics on the city walls, swarmed into the fortress.
Rumble.
The werewolves were running wildly on the largest road in the fortress. The werewolf in the front bit down with his bloody mouth while running, feeling extremely excited. He had just come in and actually picked up the corpse of a human knight. As his fangs tore at the opponent’s throat and the warm blood flowed in his mouth, the werewolf felt his body boiling.
“Human blood!”
The werewolf whimpered and showed off, continuing to run forward. He saw another human running in front of him and was eager to escape and devour more blood.
The next moment, a pitch-black claw landed in front of his eyes, and his vision instantly became completely dark. His eyes were blinded, but after a long time, the feeling of rolling down made him realize that it seemed that his head had fallen off.
There was another violent impact, and the werewolf felt his teeth become loose. This feeling was very familiar.
It was other werewolves. Another werewolf was snatching the corpse of the human knight from his mouth, and then it was shaking its head frantically trying to shake off the other head that was biting the human.
As a werewolf of the Suno clan, the werewolf with only his head left felt that his consciousness had not completely disappeared, but his fighting power had disappeared, and he flew high again.
boom!
A hideous werewolf head with a mouth full of blood fell to the ground and rolled in front of the metal boots. As the metal big feet stepped down, the werewolf’s head shattered.
Retracting his feet, the dragonblood warrior, who was covered in metal armor, held the greatsword in front of his shoulders with both hands.
Looking at the countless werewolves rushing towards him, the dragonblood warrior bent his legs slightly. When the werewolves appeared within ten meters of him, a dull roar came from his mouth under the visor.
“kill!”
“kill!!!”
Behind him, thousands of dragonblood warriors wearing heavy armor and holding swords in both hands rushed forward. They were slaughtering. The werewolves’ claws could not leave any marks on the metal armor, while the heavy and sharp swords could take the werewolves’ lives at any time.
“Glory splashed in dragon blood!”
As the leading dragonblood warrior shouted, the dragonblood warriors behind him also issued a deafening roar.
“For Zoro!!!”
The roar resounded through the sky, startling the clouds in the sky. As the hazy clouds dissipated, the wings of the unicorn wolf were exposed.
A group of Flying Wolf Cavalrymen appeared in view, with the knights on their backs swooping down with swords in their hands and leading the extraordinary legion. They descended from the sky and dispersed the werewolf army that surrounded the Dragon Blood Warrior Legion. The huge flying wolves roared at the werewolves and sent their claws towards them. The knights on their bodies waved their spears, and then stabbed three or five times, and the Flying Wolf Cavalrymen took off into the air again.
Below, the werewolves jumped up, trying to catch the flying unicorn wolf. Then, more than a dozen werewolves grabbed one and dragged the unicorn wolf down.
Without all the flying wolf cavalrymen, they could not fly into the air and fell down. The one-horned flying wolf and the knights who were submerged in the werewolf army could only struggle frantically, and then were pounced on and bitten to death by werewolves from all directions.
“Humanity’s strength is much stronger than it was a hundred years ago…”
The Silver Moon Werewolf King Hati looked at the battlefield in the fortress, and the next moment he let out a howl.
“Ouch——”
On the snowfields of the north, the flying snow was rushing towards the south like an avalanche. When it got closer, people discovered that there were huge claws on the ground.
The worg of the North is a mount unique to werewolves.
As the flying snow was gradually melted by the werewolf’s blood and energy, a group of ferocious Silver Moon Wolf Cavalry appeared behind Hati.
Each orc race has its own extraordinary path, the orc warrior.
Werewolves are no exception.
The claws of each of these wolf cavalrymen are different. In the gaps between the hand bones, three sharp and hard bone blades actually grow.
“attack!!!”
Ouch——
The howling of wolves resounded through the sky and the earth, and thousands of wolf cavalry rushed towards the fortress.
