PS. It will be on the shelves tomorrow, please give it a try, eh eh eh ~
The front was in pieces, and the Nord soldiers, who could no longer withstand the pressure, were still resisting. The conscripted conscripts and militiamen were already in disarray, and they were scrambling to flee.
"Withdraw! Withdraw!" Nikolai, the Walnut Knight, signaled the soldiers to retreat. He personally led the great swordsmen to cut off the rear. Only about forty of these elite great swordsmen of Nord were left. They desperately held on to their positions.
Continuously destroying the barbarian soldiers who want to pursue.
It was their sacrifice that bought enough time for the retreating Nord soldiers. The soldiers who successfully evacuated into the city are working hard to reorganize the defense line.
The mace hit, and a barbarian soldier's head exploded, and the splattered brains stuck to Nikolai's armor, but the Walnut Knight didn't care so much. He immediately faced the next enemy and raised his shield to block the oncoming enemy.
The coming ax blade and mace slammed into the head of the next barbarian plunderer, and bright red liquid was left from inside his helmet amidst the screams of the barbarian soldiers. It was definitely not watermelon juice.
At this moment, the barbarian riders rushed over, and the barbarian chief rode a huge white bear into the battlefield. The great swordsmen blocking him were torn apart like rags in front of Birig, "Crushed
"The Bear of Pressure" raised his ax and fell, and one soldier after another was torn in half in front of him. The thin military formation could not provide cover for the Walnut Knight, and the barbarian chief quickly approached the Walnut Knight himself.
"Mr. Nikolai! Run away! We will cover you!" A swordsman shouted desperately, but he was soon hit by the barbarian champion Kurorin's sledgehammer. His life or death was unknown.
"No, this is also... part of the plan." Nikolai mobilized his war horses and personally faced the barbarian chief.
At the moment of the confrontation, the Walnut Knight barely dodged the oncoming axe, but his mace was easily deflected by the barbarian chief. Nikolai immediately turned his horse around and took out the weapon from his waist.
Got a blunderbuss.
"Bang!" The white bear under Birig screamed, and its shoulder was hit by a projectile.
"Uh-huh, uh-huh!" The barbarian chief was furious. He urged his white bear to rush towards the Walnut Knight like crazy.
The battle ended in a few seconds. Under Birig's amazing wrist strength, Nikolai's iron shield was blown away by the axe, and the Walnut Knight's mace left a shallow mark on Birig's arm.
mark, and he himself faced the attack of the barbarian chief's axe.
"I want you to die!" Birig's big ax cut off Nikolai's right arm, and the heartbreaking pain made the Walnut Knight scream in agony.
Even the screams were quickly extinguished. The Walnut Knight was pinched by the neck and lifted into the air by Birig, his throat was crushed, and the last sound was blocked in the Walnut Knight's throat.
"Hey, you incompetent person, how dare a knight of this level challenge me?" Birig wantonly laughed at the Walnut Knight's overestimation. He didn't even think about getting the head. Nikolai's body was like trash.
He also threw it to the ground.
On the city wall, Teresa's face was as cold as ice. The long battle had made the sorceress use up all her magic power. She was helpless in the face of the knight's defeat, because she still had to leave the last bit of magic power to ensure that she could use it in critical moments.
The scroll teleports away.
"The lowly southerners have been completely defeated, warriors! Charge! Blood sacrifice to the Blood God! Skull sacrifice to the Skull Throne!!" Berig roared loudly.
"Blood sacrifice to the blood god! Skull sacrifice to the skull seat!!!" The remaining barbarian soldiers followed the chief and broke through the last line of defense of the Nord army like a destructive force. What followed was their favorite show of massacre and arson.
However, something unexpected happened. A high-pitched horn sounded from the city, and humans burst out with a cry of hope. Groups of cavalry rushed out of the town, bringing death to every barbarian who wanted to enter the town.
There was a forest of spears. Under the leadership of Ryan, the Nord knights rushed into the barbarian position. The barbarian warriors responded calmly, steel against steel, and bright red blood splashed in the air. Birig was surprised that humans still have such ability.
A new force, but he will show up soon
I feel that these messy and complex human cavalry are not composed of knights at all, but a miscellaneous army composed of noble guards, church paladins and knight retinues. The leader is a Templar Knight, a White Wolf Knight and this
The lord of the city, the Count.
"Mr. Lane! We will fight for you, and the rest will be left to you!" Templar Froude used his sword and shield to attack the barbarian army's formation, followed closely by Alfred: "
Go ahead, good friends!"
"All the troops! Advance!!!" The earl rode on the elf war horse, and the lance in his hand penetrated the heart of a barbarian rider. The earl let the lance break, and then immediately took a new one from his guard:
"For Nord!"
"For Nord!!" The cavalry shouted loudly. They rushed into the barbarian formation like a whirlwind of death. The barbarian formation was thrown into chaos, and the battle situation was about to reverse.
After all, there were too many barbarian soldiers, and the cavalry gradually fell into the quagmire. Birig was very surprised to find that these people were actually charging towards him, so he gripped his ax and shield tightly and prepared to fight.
Strange things happened in front of Berig's eyes. The Nord cavalry scattered when they were about to rush in front of him. Only one young man waved his warhammer and walked towards him. This young man's black hair was draped over his head.
On both sides of his handsome face, he wears a fine iron chainmail with a breastplate. The White Wolf Knight badge on his chest is shining. His young face shows his identity. He is the "Sledgehammer" Ryan, leading the cavalry to charge.
leader.
Facing the tight formation of spears of the barbarian soldiers, the young knight suddenly raised his warhammer with his right hand towards Birig.
The barbarian soldiers subconsciously pointed their spears at him. The young knight immediately dismounted. Birig immediately understood what he meant. The barbarian chief waved all the soldiers to get out of the way. He clenched the battle ax in his hand and stepped forward alone.
.
The championship showdown is the most important ceremony of the northern barbarians. The winner will get everything, and the loser will lose his head.
"Young White Wolf Knight Ryan, you are brave and powerful. I fought all the way from the north to here. You are the most courageous knight I have ever seen. For this reason, your head will become my collection.
." The barbarian chief sneered disdainfully. He opened his mouth, revealing a set of yellow teeth, and even made a
Jin Ya: "You are amazing for being able to advance to Legend at this age, but I am already a high-level Legend, and you are just a Beginner Legend. You clearly understand that as long as you hold on for one more day, reinforcements from the empire will arrive.
But you still want to rush in foolishly and die? Haven't you learned 'glorious retreat'?"
Ryan understood the words of the barbarian chief. As long as the defenders retreated into Miljödenhaven, carried out fierce street fighting, and finally defended the Earl's Castle, it would not be a problem to hold on for a day.
"Ha~ That's right. As long as we retreat into the castle, we will definitely be able to hold on until sunrise. Or if I meet you in the wild, I will run away without hesitation, because it is not a shame to run away if you can't fight."
"But, it's different here. Behind me are the people of this city, and I am a knight of the kingdom."
"The duty of a knight is to protect my country and my people!"
"Of course I can hide in the city and build a new line of defense."
"But what about these citizens? What will be their fate?"
"I will not stand on the castle walls and watch you bring death to the people, because this is not a knight."
"Life is precious, but after all, there are some things that are worth paying for. This has nothing to do with the price. This is faith, this is honor, this is responsibility. This is the backbone of our human beings that has stood firm for thousands of years!"
"Let's fight! No matter how big Nord is! Behind us is Winter City!" The knight of the kingdom raised his war hammer.
Birig's expression changed.
Since breaking through the Storm Fortress and heading south, he has seen countless so-called knights and nobles fleeing in confusion under his iron heel. He has seen how those self-proclaimed "higher people" begged for their lives in front of him. The look on his face
No longer sarcastic, but serious, the barbarian chief nodded deeply: "Your head will become my most precious collection!"
So the barbarian chief got off the huge white bear in front of Ryan, and Ryan also chose to dismount. The two opponents stayed still, leaving only the sound of the cold wind blowing across the battlefield. The smell of blood in the wind was very strong, and among the countless corpses
In the middle, Ryan and Birig stood facing each other.
All fighting around them stopped. Nord soldiers and barbarian warriors stopped fighting. An oppressive silence enveloped the battlefield. Countless eyes stared at the two people confronting each other.
Everyone, whether they are Nords or barbarians, knows that this momentous moment will determine the outcome of this battle. Both the opposing sides are great warriors, and they are the epitome and representative of the strength of their respective races.
Standing on the city wall, Teresa realized why Ryan refused to go back to Sky Castle with her. The sorceress reached out and covered her mouth. Hot tears couldn't help but fall from her beautiful red eyes.
Emilia also looked shocked.
After a brief pause of a few seconds, Ryan suddenly raised his hand, and a very strong psychic light radiated from his hand, shining on Birig's body. The barbarian chief subconsciously closed his eyes because of the sudden bright light.
The skin also made a sizzling sound due to the burning pain, and the barbarian chief had to retreat subconsciously.
Ryan took a deep breath and took the opportunity to launch a charge. The war hammer in his hand flashed with electric light, and the White Wolf Knight badge on his chest shone like starlight. The Kingdom Knight seized the opportunity and rushed towards his enemy, hoping to take this opportunity to kill him with one blow.
.
Years of rich combat experience saved the barbarian chief. He subconsciously raised his shield to resist. The heavy war hammer hit Birig's shield. The pain like a broken wrist and the burning sensation of thunder and lightning made the barbarian chief scream.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to block the attack, Birig swung his battle ax horizontally to counterattack. The sharp ax blade cut through the icy air. Ryan had to withdraw the war hammer. The handle of the war hammer made of fine iron intersected with the ax blade and emerged.
golden sparks.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Biregi opened the distance between him and the young man. The young man's despicable methods made him lose his rhythm. The barbarian chief was adjusting his breathing and preparing to launch the next offensive.
Birig is much taller than Ryan. The two-meter-tall barbarian chief only has simple leather armor on his body. It looks like a hill made of muscles, which contains explosive energy. Of course, Ryan
Knowing clearly what fate he would face once the barbarian chief adjusted, he planned not to give Birig any time to adjust. Regardless of the convulsive pain in his body, the kingdom knight rushed towards the barbarian chief again.
Of course Birig knew what this young man was planning. The barbarian chief adjusted his pace and took a deep breath. Steam-like mist spurted out from his nostrils. His battle ax wanted to drink this.
The knight's blood, his shield almost as tall as a man, he was ready.
The warhammer hit the shield heavily and was bounced away by Birig. The barbarian chief was ready to counterattack, but at this moment, the kingdom knight suddenly took out a double-barreled firecracker from behind his cloak and pointed it directly at the barbarian chief.
Xia Sanlu pressed the trigger.
The barbarian chief was shocked. He did not want to lose his fertility and become neither male nor female, so Birig could only interrupt the rhythm of the counterattack and reluctantly raised his shield to resist.
"Boom!"
The shield protected his vitals, but there was still a bullet hole in the barbarian chief's calf, and blood flowed from the bullet hole. Ryan threw the blunderbuss and took advantage of the situation to carry out a series of blows.
The wound seemed to eliminate traces of Birig's rational thinking. He regained his most primitive instinct and charged forward more ferociously. The two of them fought together, with a series of blows and subsequent parries, dodges and reorganizations.
The rivalry continued to unfold, and the duels were so swift that the surrounding soldiers could hardly see their figures clearly.
Only the constant roars, the sound of gold and iron clashing, and the sparks flying in the air explained everything: the city's last hope was fighting to the death with the barbarian chief.
…………
Thirty minutes later, the young knight of the kingdom realized that he was losing. His hands had begun to lose strength, and his body was slowly becoming numb. He could feel the blood spraying from the depths of his throat and the taste of rust in his mouth.
His strength is declining and his legs have become stiff, but his opponent is still launching a powerful offensive against him.
"Ah!!!" Ryan took two steps back under Birig's powerful attack. The numbness in his arms made it almost impossible for him to hold the war hammer. A stream of blood spurted out from his throat. The White Wolf Knight forcibly swallowed the blood again.
Going down, he forced his hands to grip the handle of the war hammer.
"Hero of Nord? Sledgehammer Ryan? You are no match for me~" Birig did not show any signs of fatigue. The tall figure of the barbarian chief approached Ryan, and the barbarian's footsteps were knocking Ryan towards his end.
's death knell.
The barbarian chief used his favorite skill - whirlwind, and the constantly rotating ax blade pressed into Ryan's defense line. The legendary high-level barbarian chief was much better than Ryan in terms of wrist strength and endurance. The White Wolf Knight was still too young.
Now, he is already in his fifties. He is almost twice as old as Ryan. He is rich and full of blood.
With the bloody battle experience and the blessing of the divine power from the blood god Khorne, Ryan felt that every blow of the barbarian chief had the power to shake the earth. At the legendary level, there was a huge difference in his abilities with each level he advanced.
You can temporarily gain an advantage through some tricks, but over time, the gap in hard power will put Ryan at a disadvantage.
The White Wolf Knight retreated again and again, with shallow wounds on his shoulders and arms, muscles spasming, and blood surging.
The championship showdown failed! Am I going to lose?
Ryan's vision gradually blurred, was he about to lose?
