Chapter 65 Unknown Signs

There have been several times before when the horn was sounded, most of which were dozens of evil beasts attacking the border one after another, and the militia team has been able to deal with it proficiently.

So Roland didn't panic, he announced the suspension of training, let Wendy and Lightning go back to the castle to rest, Anna protected Nana and went to the hospital to wait for the wounded, while he and Nightingale rushed to the city wall.

Unexpectedly, Lightning protested, "As an explorer, I've been to the western border of the mainland for so long, yet I haven't seen a large-scale evil beast attack with my own eyes. It's ashamed of my identity to say it. I want to go together!"

Roland rejected the other party's protest without hesitation, and told Wendy to keep an eye on the lightning, and strictly forbid her to run around during the time when the evil beasts were raging.

Then he looked at Nightingale, who nodded, stepped forward and grabbed Roland's hand, stepped into the mist, and headed straight towards the city wall - ever since Nightingale knew that Nightingale could bring objects into the mist, Roland was immediately fascinated This way of traveling. Going straight through obstacles, ignoring the terrain, and counting meters at a step, it is quite a pleasure to let me do whatever I want.

Arriving at the foot of the city wall, Roland found an unoccupied corner to get out of the fog, and walked up to the line of defense alone. The wilderness in the distance was completely white, and he didn't see the scene of the evil beast attacking aggressively. Is this a false positive? Not only did he think so, but there were also discussions among the militiamen who were taking their positions one after another.

The prince found the iron axe, but found that he was looking into the distance with a serious face, still holding the horn tightly in his hand.

"You sounded the alarm?"

"Yes, Your Highness, look..." His voice was much dryr than usual, "That guy is here."

That rascal? Looking far away, Roland saw a black spot at the end of his line of sight, which was hard to spot even against a pure white background. According to regulations, the assembly horn will only be sounded if it is judged that the patrol team cannot solve the situation. But as an experienced hunter, Iron Ax must have his reasons.

"It's a mixed breed," he swallowed, "the one I met six years ago."

Is it? Roland frowned. Theoretically, the evil beasts would all die when attacking Longsong Fortress - they have no IQ, and there is no concept of retreat in their minds. The fortress has never been breached, but it survived six years later? An ominous premonition faintly rose in his heart.

However, at such a long distance, he could only vaguely see the black dots, but the iron ax could clearly distinguish the type of evil beasts, his eyesight was too astonishing. Perhaps, he was wrong, the prince thought.

The evil beast didn't keep Roland waiting for too long, it began to move closer to the city wall, and soon everyone noticed this unique target.

It is not as large as the previous hybrid. At first glance, it looks like an enlarged version of a feline, but it has a pair of fleshy wings on its back, which are covered on both sides of its torso when it is not unfolded. Its head is similar to that of a lion, but it has two pairs of eyes—if the extra pair of eyes are not for decoration, it can capture most of the movement in the rear without turning its head.

Carter and several hunters have loaded their ammunition and are ready for battle.

But the lion hybrid didn't charge straight up, it stopped outside the range of the crossbow and looked around.

This distance is within the effective range of the flintlock, but the first hit chance is almost zero.

Not long after, it suddenly leaped to the left, and its wings spread, causing its huge body to take off. As Iron Ax said, it can fly or glide for short distances. After overcoming the obstacle, the hybrid evil beast quickly ran towards the unguarded area at the west end of the city wall.

Roland's heart skipped a beat, feeling ominous. Being able to judge the opponent's strength and weakness by observation, and choose the weak point to attack, is a proof of intelligence-and this is exactly what the beast lacks. They would occasionally attack their prey's weaknesses, but that was the instinct inherited from generation to generation for thousands of years. When facing unknown opponents, they had no way of judging, let alone comprehensive analysis of multiple targets.

What does it mean to have intelligence? Relying on their excellent brains and outstanding endurance, human beings have risen from the prairie of raw hair and blood to the top of the biological chain. Roland didn't dare to think about it any further, he beckoned and asked the chief knight to follow him, while the other hunters followed the iron axes to snipe the evil beast.

After running to the uninhabited section, it jumped straight up, climbed over the city wall easily, and then ran towards the residential area, completely ignoring the Orion team.

"Bastard!" Roland yelled, "People from the second wall of the militia team, follow me. The substitutes will go on top and guard the city wall temporarily!"

At this moment, he could no longer care about the militia team who had only received in-situ stabbing training, and the movement might cause the team to lose touch and be attacked by evil beasts separately. Carter also led the guards to follow the prince closely. They had the strongest individual combat effectiveness and could fill any gaps that might arise at any time. The last team was the musketeer team led by Iron Axe.

After entering the old area, the line of sight was blocked by bungalows, and the roads were narrow and covered with snow, so everyone's movement was greatly restricted. Roland didn't dare to disperse the team to search, so he could only walk through the criss-crossing alleys, hoping to find traces of evil beasts.

He regretted not bringing the lightning over. If there were witches scouting the sky, a group of people wouldn't be scurrying around like headless chickens.

After searching for about half an hour, the townspeople suddenly heard screams from the depths of the alley.

The team immediately adjusted its direction and rushed towards the source of the sound. Thanks to the fact that most of the militiamen are residents of the old districts, with a clear purpose, they skillfully cross the trails and even wade through other people's backyards. When he arrived at the scene of the incident, Roland saw that a person had been bitten in two, and his internal organs were scattered all over the floor. He was obviously dead.

"My God...it's Tiecha, I know him!"

"Damn it, did it escape?"

"Beware! Look to the right!" Suddenly someone shouted. Before the words fell, a black shadow swept out from the wooden house on the right, accompanied by scattered wood fragments, it went straight through the wall of the wooden house, and rushed into the team caught off guard, knocked down a militiaman with its front paws, and bit .

Iron Ax was the first to react. He wanted to raise his gun to shoot, but found that the scattered militias blocked the alley. He had no chance to fire at all, so he had to push through the crowd and walk towards the target step by step. Other hunters also found the same problem. They tucked their guns under their armpits one after another, jumped up and clasped the eaves, and climbed up to the roof two or three times.

The mixed species didn't care about the long spear stabbing at itself. It spread its wings to block the panic attacks of the crowd, and when it picked up the bloody militiaman and was about to jump away, the gun rang.

Suddenly, several black blood flowers appeared on the monster's body.

The mixed species that was hit by the lead shot roared angrily. It shook off the prey in its mouth and spread its wings to pounce on the hunter on the roof. The iron ax just squeezed out of the crowd, and he quickly raised his gun in front of the evil beast. Pull the trigger.

There was no possibility of missing the shot that was almost close to the face, and the gas of the gunpowder even sprayed on the monster's nose. The speed of the bullet's ejection does not decrease, passing straight through the target's eyes and penetrating into the skull.

The hybrid evil beast froze and fell to the ground.
