Chapter 319: Sunshine, Chasing and Blocking
Chapter 319: Sunshine, Chasing and Blocking
As the sun rose to the sky, it shone through the clouds onto the ground. The killing in the city gradually subsided, but the fighting outside the city intensified. The fires had gone out, but thick smoke billowed, covering the sky, as if the whole world was shrouded in darkness.
Inside the city, the streets were littered with broken rubble and debris, and the once bustling market was now in ruins. People hid in corners, looking at the outside world in horror, their hearts filled with anxiety and fear. They didn't know when this battle would end, nor did they know if they could survive this difficult time.
Outside the city, the battlefield was filled with smoke, and the knights fought hard, with the flashes of swords and shadows interweaving into a bloody scene. Their shouts and screams came one after another, shaking the entire battlefield.
Every attack was carried with endless anger and despair, as if the anger in his heart could only be calmed by completely defeating the opponent.
However, despite the fierce battle, neither side could achieve a decisive victory. They all knew that this war would not end easily, and only by continuing to persevere could they change their fate. So they gritted their teeth, brandished their weapons, and continued to engage in this brutal battle.
"Lady Athena, we are surrounded. What should we do now?" Alpha asked anxiously.
Due to the constant destruction of the Knights of Athena, the werewolf corps in the city had to evacuate frequently, which seriously violated the Dark Council's order to fight to the death, making the Dark Council hate them to the core. In the end, the Dark Council decided to use 20,000 werewolf troops to encircle and suppress the Knights of less than 500 people.
The original plan was to have hundreds of thousands of werewolves fight a desperate battle with the knights in the city, even if it meant the complete annihilation of the entire army.
However, Athena's blocking plan successfully cut off the subsequent message transmission, resulting in the werewolves in the city being unable to obtain the latest intelligence and without the support of the weather, and finally chose to retreat.
Even though they later learned that half of their personnel had already evacuated, they were unable to suppress humans under the circumstances. Their plan to wipe out the entire knight order in the city also failed, and they could only vent their anger on the Knights of Athena.
"Lady Athena, we should break out. We can't go back to the city of Alman now. They must have sent heavy troops to guard it." Alpha immediately turned his horse's head and rushed towards the enemy, even though there were almost no werewolves in the direction of the city.
Athena hesitated for a moment, but finally chose to trust Alpha's judgment. She knew that only by acting quickly could she have a chance of survival. So she shouted loudly: "Kill!"
Following this order, the entire Knights rushed out of the encirclement like an unstoppable force. Although the road ahead was full of unknowns and dangers, they had only one belief in their hearts: fight for light!
"We can't succeed. There are tens of thousands of werewolves in front of us. We must retreat." The knights in front fought to the death, but facing the densely packed werewolves, the knights behind were scared. Their eyes were full of fear and despair, and the weapons in their hands were shaking slightly because of nervousness.
"Don't hesitate. We are knights. The enemy can't have so many werewolves sniping us from behind. If we fight our way out, we will be the winners." Alpha's voice was firm and powerful, trying to awaken the fighting spirit of his teammates. However, his call did not receive much support. Most of the knights were still hesitant, and only a few stood firmly by his side.
At this moment, Athena appeared. Her eyes were firm and calm, as if they could penetrate the chaos and fear on the battlefield. She walked to Alpha and whispered, "We can't retreat. Only by uniting together can we defeat the enemy." After hearing this, most of the knights gathered together and cheered up again.
Eventually, a few dozen people chose to retreat. They chose the direction of the city, thinking it was safer. As they left, the remaining knights felt more isolated and helpless. However, they did not give up hope and continued to fight against the enemy's attack.
"I see it, I see it, there is an open space in front of the enemy." The knight in front almost broke through the enemy's blockade, but the enemy also began to attack from both wings.
Their situation was extremely dangerous, but they still went forward fearlessly. Every swing of the sword and every charge was a challenge to death and a commitment to their beliefs. On this battlefield, every knight was using his life to interpret what true courage and glory were.
"You two stop one wolf king, and I'll take the other one." Alpha saw the right moment, leaped up suddenly, and rushed towards the wolf king with the power of high-speed sprint. His figure was like a flash of lightning, cutting through the clear sky and heading straight for the ferocious beast.
The wolf king did not dodge or evade, his eyes full of mockery, as if saying: "You think you can challenge me with such little ability?" He let out a deafening roar, his voice full of disdain and provocation towards Alpha.
The two of them collided fiercely, and the shock wave generated by the huge force instantly destroyed everything around them. Trees were uprooted, deep cracks appeared on the ground, and dust flew up, covering the sky and the sun.
This battle is not only a contest of strength, but also a contest of courage and wisdom. Alpha knows that only by defeating the wolf king in front of him can he protect his teammates and homeland from being harmed. The wolf king vows to defend his dignity. The two sides fight back and forth, with fierce moves, and every collision is terrifying.
However, in the face of absolute strength, determination and perseverance seem to become insignificant. The gap in strength between Alpha and the Wolf King is so great that it is impossible to make up for this gap by relying solely on the difference in skills.
As time went by, Alpha gradually showed signs of decline and was defeated. In this unfavorable situation, he could only gasp for air and use the obstacles around him to delay time, hoping to find a ray of hope.
Now, the only thing Alpha can rely on is the power of discipline. This is his last hope and his only chance. If this attempt fails, then they will surely die.
At the same time, the situation of Strong and Gilliana on the other side was even more critical. After being knocked away by the Wolf King's punch, Gilliana didn't recover for a long time, and the situation was very bad.
At this critical moment, Alpha took a deep breath and tried to calm his disordered breathing. He knew that he had to concentrate all his attention and strength to prepare his second commandment, the power of silence.
Alpha closed his eyes, silently chanted an ancient spell in his heart, and drew complex runes in the air with his hands. The air around him seemed to vibrate because of his spell, and an invisible force gathered in his body.
This is the method that Alpha humbly asked Knight Commander Arthur for. It is possible to use the power of the spell to speed up the duration of the power of silence, thereby enhancing the explosive power of the power of silence.
Suddenly, a dazzling light burst out from his hand and shot straight at the Wolf King (this was the power of light magic, to scare the Wolf King). The Wolf King was startled by the sudden light, but soon reacted, roared, and rushed towards the light. The moment the two collided, the entire space seemed to be torn apart, making a deafening roar.
When the light gradually dissipated, the wolf king actually took a few steps back, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. Obviously, he did not expect Alpha to release such a powerful force. Alpha took the opportunity to breathe heavily. Although this attack consumed a lot of his physical and mental strength, it at least temporarily stopped the wolf king's attack.
The Wolf King couldn't believe this attack. There was someone who was theoretically as strong as him. Even the Wolf King who was fighting next to him stopped fighting and watched the situation here.
At the same time, Strong and Gilliana were also trying to recover. Strong helped Gilliana up and used his body to block possible attacks for her. Although Gilliana was seriously injured, she still gritted her teeth and insisted on not letting tears flow. She knew that now was not the time to give up, and she had to cheer up and face the enemy together.
"We have to find a way to leave here." Alpha panted and said, "The wolf king is too strong. It's hard for us to defeat it alone."
"Right," Strong nodded in agreement, "We need to find a safe place to re-formulate our plans."
The three of them supported each other and slowly retreated, while vigilantly observing the movements of the wolf king. Fortunately, the wolf king seemed to have been affected by the attack just now and did not immediately launch a pursuit. This gave Alpha and the others a brief respite.
"Go over there!" Gilliana pointed to a dense forest in the distance. "The terrain there is complicated. Maybe it can help us escape the wolf king's pursuit."
However, the other wolf king would never let Alpha and the others go. He glanced at his companions who had just been repelled by Alpha and dared not move, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he chased after them without hesitation, disappearing into the night without looking back.
"My arm is broken, you have to be careful." The wolf king who had fought with Alpha had a broken arm at this moment, bleeding and groaning in pain. Seeing the human and his companions leave, he fell to the ground helplessly, his eyes full of worry and helplessness.
Unfortunately, his companions had already chased after him, and it was unknown whether they had heard his warning. The air was filled with a tense atmosphere, as if a more intense battle was about to begin.
Alpha and his crew quickly evacuated the battlefield. They knew they had to find a safe place to rest and receive treatment as soon as possible.
Alpha looked back and saw another wolf king following closely behind him. Alpha could only recite the spell silently again and begin to activate the power of discipline.
However, Alpha was not familiar with the power of the spell, and could only speed it up by twice as much at most, which meant that he needed ten minutes of preparation time.
"Hurry up!" Alpha urged in a low voice. He knew that time was running out and every extra second he stayed might make the situation more dangerous.
Looking at the wolf king getting closer and closer, Alpha calculated the time. There were at most three minutes left, and there were still seven minutes before the power of silence could explode at its strongest. They had to delay time.
"Lord Alpha, I will intercept the wolf king, you go first." Looking at the wolf king approaching, Gilliana knew that she would die if she stayed, but she still resolutely chose to stay. Her eyes were full of determination, as if she had already prepared for the worst.
"Knight Strong, help Gilliana buy me three minutes." Alpha's voice was calm and firm. He and Strong also stopped, but Alpha did not choose to join the battle directly. He knew that in this duel of disparity in power, he was not the best helper.
"Leave it to me in three minutes." Strong immediately accelerated and rushed towards the battlefield. His armor flashed brightly in the sun, and he held the sword tightly in his hand, ready to meet the upcoming challenge.
This time, Jilliana was knocked out, but she did not give up. She gritted her teeth, quickly got up from the ground, and regained her footing. Only by really fighting with the Wolf King can you know how terrifying the Wolf King's strength is. That kind of power is simply incomparable to humans, and every attack carries devastating power.
Only a knight with fighting spirit could fight against the wolf king. Strong was such a brave knight. He kept swinging his sword, trying to resist the wolf king's attack. However, despite his best efforts, the gap between him and the wolf king was still obvious. After several confrontations, Strong was hit hard by the wolf king and fell heavily to the ground.
At this time, Gilliana rushed forward again to buy a little precious time for Strong. She chopped down with the long sword in her hand, but was knocked back dozens of meters by the wolf king's punch.
However, this pause also gave Strong a chance to catch his breath. He panted, adjusted his posture, and prepared for the next round of more intense fighting.
Strong panted, roared, and rushed towards the wolf king. Each of his steps made a heavy sound on the hard ground, as if even the earth was trembling at his courage. Facing the endless provocation of humans, this time the wolf king was ready to kill with one blow, and there was a cold light in his eyes, as if he had foreseen the outcome of victory.
The wolf king is tall and mighty, with clear muscle lines, showing an unparalleled sense of strength. Its sharp claws are more than one meter long, emitting a cold light, like an extremely sharp blade, ready to tear apart any creature that dares to challenge it. The wolf king's hair is thick and smooth, showing a dark gray color, blending in with the surrounding environment, making it even more difficult to be discovered in the dark.
As Strong rushed towards the wolf king, the air was filled with tension. The distance between the two gradually shortened, and time seemed to freeze at this moment. Strong tightly grasped the weapon in his hand, staring firmly into the wolf king's eyes, trying to find a flaw. The wolf king quietly waited for the best opportunity to launch a fatal attack.
Suddenly, the wolf king moved! Its movements were so fast that it was almost impossible to catch the specific details. A silver light flashed, and the wolf king's claws had already swung towards Strong. This strike condensed all the power and anger of the wolf king, enough to tear any enemy into pieces.
"Wolfdog, your strength is just this limited. I am so disappointed."
