While Roland, with great interest, spoke of the implementation of a fair trading system, the sound of a horn in the distance could be heard!
The patrol team would only honk if they were unable to cope with the current situation, warning the city to gather soldiers.
Roland and Carter looked at each other in surprise, and then immediately walked out of the castle's backyard, where the guards had already prepared horses. Roland directly climbed on his horse and rode with Carter and his men towards the wall.
When they reached the wall, they saw that all the militia members had climbed the wall and had taken their place, setting up a forest of spears. Seeing this gave Roland a feeling of relief - the eggs were not in vain at all .
Looking at the Northwest, Roland could see a group of black shadows approaching Border Town. He calculated that their number was more than twenty.
Iron Axe left his defensive position and ran over. After paying his respects, he said, "Your Majesty, this group of demonic beasts approaching us seems a little strange."
"Any? What do you mean they don't usually act as a group?"
"Not that," Iron Axe explains, "if they pack animals before autumn, then they will still maintain that habit - like the wolf species. But this kind of species does not belong to this type, they usually will not act like this, they seem to be on a mission. Previously hunters had seen the animals kill each other. "
Demonic beasts were merely mutations of their previous kind, their actions would mostly be similar to their original habits, but at the same time their desires would become stronger. In a sense, the intelligence of demonic beasts was inferior to that of ferocious beasts, due to their maniacal nature, they even crossed dangerous areas that they would normally never cross.
Roland carefully observed the group of demonic beasts. He could see very large and small animals and could distinguish at least two different types of beasts, one kind of wolf and the other bison. Species that would normally kill each other suddenly find out that they must work together to achieve something.
As they still had to pass through several obstacles and traps set up by the Iron Axe, they slowly crammed in front of the middle of the city wall.
Van'er felt his hands getting wet from sweat, his grip holding the spear becoming somewhat slippery. Taking advantage of the fact that no one saw her, she secretly wiped her clothes.
The Hunter Captain repeatedly said, "You should relax; take a deep breath." Van'er repeatedly tried to do this but was still unable to stop his speeding heartbeat. He had been living in the West for over a decade, and he had always heard about the evil deeds of demonic beasts. Since the beginning of the Demon Moon, the occasional demonic beast had all been shot down by the hunting squads, so he slowly lost his fear of demonic beasts. He even considered himself a brave and formidable warrior in battle, but today, facing so many demonic beasts for the first time, Van'er's legs still shook.
He reminded himself that he was chosen by His Majesty as vice-captain, so Van'er tried to show a calm appearance, and kept a defensive position.
The group of demonic beasts was now close enough that he could see their appearance. Running in front was one of the demon beasts of the bison species. On its head was a horn two arms thick, it looked like a black ram. The hair growing on his back seemed to cover him tightly like a robe. When it was only thirty feet away from the wall, Van'er could feel the ground shaking. He licked his dry lips, and waited for the Captain to issue an order to push.
Then a loud explosion could be heard.
The bison demon beast actually did not reduce its speed, but its head instantly hit the wall, its head completely shattered and its black blood splashed everywhere, painting the walls black.
Van'er didn't even have time to breathe, the bison was immediately followed by two wolves jumping off the dead bison's back.
"Push out!"
Hearing the Captain's orders, Van'er subconsciously thrust his spear - even though the wolf species was not rushing towards him. The effect of this boost is clearly not as good as their boost during exercise. Some people pushed their spears many times in quick succession, and some people who saw the wolves jump only once pierced their spears, while others did not react for a long time even after hearing the command.
As a result, only one wolf retreated and the other jumped through a crack in the spear forest and landed on the wall.
"Defend formation!" shouted the Captain once more.
Although Van'er wanted to turn into a bird and see the situation where the wolf had jumped on the wall, Iron Axe had stressed many times during their training that when something broke through and appeared behind the vanguard, taking their attention. So he stared straight at the next group of attacking beasts with his eyes, and gripped the spear as tightly as he could.
The elite hunting forces were clearly more trained than the ordinary militias.
Whether it was strength or defense, after the demon beast mutation both increased significantly. Such an attack obviously did not cause too much damage to him. The wolf was still able to stand up immediately after its collision, and revealed its sharp teeth.
Damn to the wolves, the muzzle of Iron Axe has already reached his head.
Bang! - The demon beast's skull exploded and its brain matter flew everywhere. Without his brain, the wolf retreated one weak step and collapsed while twitching.
"The beast is dead, keep your position!"
"My stomach ah!" Someone loudly shouted in despair.
Van'er could see it in his peripheral vision. He saw a friend leaning against the wall, holding tightly to his stomach, with a hand covered in blood.
"The juice flows out."
"The other wolf attacked the wall and clawed straight at him!"
"Help me …"
"Damn it, someone took some cloth to suppress the wound!"
It was a chaotic scene, the other demon beasts, like wild boars, also rushed towards the wall. Although the skin and flesh were rough, the boar was so close that it became a hedgehog due to the arrow arrows fired by the hunters.
"Everyone don't panic!" Roland thought, If Nightingale is here, she can save them from trouble. Then he shouted, "Have you forgotten what you learned during training? How do you treat the injured? Handle according to the rules!"
Hearing the prince's cry, Van'er immediately woke up and remembered his duty. As the Vice-Captain in charge of the defensive segment of the wall, he was responsible for arranging rescue whenever someone was injured.
He ordered his two subordinates, "You two, quickly take him to the medical center, quickly!"
Based on their previous experience, the subordinates believed that this person would not survive. However, His Majesty once said, doing something and not being successful is one thing, but doing nothing is forbidden! As Deputy Captain of the militia, Van'er needed to prioritize the execution of orders and regulations.
When the injured comrade was taken away, order was finally restored on the wall. This wave of demonic beasts seemed to be huge, but only a few could threaten the militia members on the wall.
The hunters shot the remaining demon beasts one by one. Seeing this, Van'er was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief. Although the entire battle only lasted half an hour, he felt hollow, and had no more manpower.
However, at this moment, the person responsible for watching the demonic beast shouted again, "Oh my God, what is that ...?!"
Van'er could also see the new beast.
Although the distance was still far from the wall, the outer line was still clearly visible. This beast is truly a monster! Van'er swore, even if ten oxen were stacked in front of this monster, they could not compare.
Only an experienced Iron Axe could immediately identify a newcomer.
He had to take a deep breath to calm himself down. No doubt this is a hybrid species, the militias are in trouble.
