Chapter 95: Rescue and Knight Rumi’s Action

Kil was eager to fight, but he still glanced at Bloodfang, who was left behind by the previous harpy monster.

One of Bloody Fangster's legs was scratched through, including the leg and saddle, but the rest of his body was luckily uninjured. At this moment, after he was left on the grass, although he was dizzy, he had not yet recovered from the previous fall on his horse. But he still knew what he should do at this time.

He immediately took out his dagger in a hurry, first disassembled the other leg that was mixed with the fixed belt on the saddle, and then cut open the leather pants on his injured leg. He looked at the wound with pain, and then cut the cut leather pants into pieces. Make it into strips, knot it into a rope, and tie it tightly around the injured leg close to the torso to stop the bleeding.

After realizing that Bloodfangster was generally unharmed, Kil turned his horse's head and charged towards the wounded harpy that landed on the ground.

Behind him, the other three monsters jumped up from the ground noisily, fluttering their wings and aiming at this guy Kil.

The sound of horse hooves rattled faster and faster. Keir grabbed the reins with one hand and the end of the handle of the two-handed ax with the other, and rushed towards the lone monster sideways.

The monster targeted by Kil opened its mouth full of sharp teeth, and its human-like head and face showed a hint of fear amid violence. It wanted to jump and fly away, but after being hit hard on its abdomen, the pain made it unable to move even a little bit.

"Xiaxia, Xiaxia."

The wounded harpy wanted to repeat its old tricks, but the sound it made when opening its mouth was very limited. Its abdomen was injured, and it was difficult to breathe even in its chest.

This time, it became really panicked, flapping its wings and jumping around.

Keir stared closely at the monster, making a cheering sound that he could not hear. As his horse passed by the monster, the blue ax fell heavily.

A touch of blue passed through a semi-arc. He first used the downward swing to accumulate strength. Just when the arc crossed the bottom, the ax collided with one of the wings swung by the monster.

The harpy's wing feathers are relatively hard, but the feathers are messy and ugly in color, and the skin and bones in the wings are tough, powerful and unusually strong.

The height of the horse-riding Kil was exactly the same as the height of the standing harpy monster. After the ax wings intersected, the seemingly powerful monster wings actually scattered feather fragments, broken bones and blood.

"Yah!"

The monster wailed and retracted its wings, but only half of the wings were left.

The other half was broken off by the axe, spinning and falling to the ground aside.

Gere swung his ax and immediately slowed down and turned the horse's head. The three monsters in the distance tried to fly over, and the distance kept getting closer. Kil pursed his lips, calculating the distance and time for the monsters to arrive, and considering whether he could give the injured monster another hard blow.

But his body reacted much faster than his brain. While his brain was still making judgments and thoughts, his body took the lead and drove the horse to charge again.

The traumatized monster was so frightened when he saw Kiel coming to kill him again that he fell down on the ground and tried to climb down to avoid the attack of the human on horseback.

"What a beautiful thought! Die——"

Kil shouted, telling the weapon in his hand his strong intention to kill the enemy, and the blue surface of the ax suddenly burst out with blue light.

Still a few meters away from the monster, Kil waved his arm and threw the ax directly towards the monster.

As soon as the thrown ax was out of hand, it immediately started spinning, whistling and creating a whirlwind. It made a strange jump in the air, jumped up, first flew upward, and then fell straight down.

The target that fell was the harpy lying on the ground.

boom!

This time is different from the force with which Kil wields the weapon. Let this spiritual weapon exert its own power, which is far more powerful than Kil's hands.

The rotating ax fell from the air and struck the monster directly in the middle of the back. The monster also covered its body with the other half of its wings, trying to provide some defense.

If it were an ordinary sword, I'm afraid it would take some effort to destroy the monster's strong wings, but this two-handed ax that emits blue light is completely different.

Just like a hot knife cutting through butter, a thin blade cutting through tender meat, when the ax fell, the wings and the monster's strong backbone were all smashed into pieces of meat.

The monster was immediately split in half by the ax in the middle of the chest.

Bloody Fangster on the side was stunned when he saw Keir's performance after barely stopping the bleeding.

"Don't be stunned, get on the horse!" Kil didn't care how his ax defeated the enemy. After throwing the ax at the monster, he rode towards the Bloodfangster on the ground. He lowered his body and stretched out one hand. , slowing down the horses and preparing to take their companions away together.

It's impossible not to take it away. This harpy monster is really difficult to deal with. Ordinary weapons are completely incapable of killing it, and it also has long-range sound attacks. Keir had no way to resist and did not dare to get entangled with them.

-

Bloodfangster watched as Kil was riding towards him, and his ears vaguely heard something that Kil seemed to shout amidst the noise and the roar of the wind. Although he didn't hear clearly, but just looking at Kil's movements at this time, the caravan guard didn't understand.

No one wanted to die. Even after the horse rolled and fell, he knew that he was finished, but he did not lose the idea of ​​​​survival.

But he didn't expect that someone would actually choose to come to rescue him in a windy environment when facing four harpies.

"I don't want to die!" He shouted, jumped up hard, endured the blood pumping out of the wound on his leg, and reluctantly leaned out and stretched out his hand.

The two hands slammed together with a loud bang, and Kil's steel-protected palm held tightly against Bloody Fangster's gloved palm.

Even though his palms hurt, Xueyaster gritted his teeth and did not dare to relax.

Kil rushed past on horseback, using his strength to lift the injured companion on the ground along the connected arms. He clamped the saddle and the horse's belly with his legs. Amidst the neighing of the horse, he swung the man behind him.

"Hold on to me!" Without Kil's reminder, Bloodtusk sitting behind the saddle tightly grasped the cloak and metal belt on Kil's body, even though the armor he was wearing hit him in pain.

"Drive! Run!" With a flick of the reins, the horse accelerated again, heading straight towards the front militia team in the distance.

At this time, due to the appearance of the harpy monster and several attacks on the mounted patrol team, the entire Kendall team had stopped.

The wind was strong, but it did not affect everyone's vision. They saw someone falling off their horse in the distance, and then the horse was killed by the monster, and even the people were taken flying.

The militiamen who could see this side were quite scared. The monsters were so powerful. Can the things in their hands be able to deal with them?

Fortunately, a cavalryman came to the rescue. He not only stabbed the monster with one shot, but also turned his horse's head and chopped off one of the monster's wings the next time.

"Okay! Well done!"

"Who is that person?"

"who is he?"

"Idiot, it's Master Crow's knight apprentice, Little Kil!"

After the blue-light-emitting two-handed ax took the initiative to kill the injured monster, many militiamen secretly took a breath of cold air. After seeing Kil successfully rescued the person, the militiamen even gave a low cry.

But Kil was wearing iron armor, and there were two people crowded on the horse, but he couldn't run fast.

But the three harpies behind him were chasing after him.

Everyone's heart was in their throats, fearing that something bad would happen next.

-

"Hmph." A cold snort came towards me, followed by a tall and strong war horse rushing out of the front militia team against the wind, but it was Knight Rumi who came to the rescue.

Rumi Knight is good at knight sword and shield martial arts, but when paired with a team of humans, this weapon can suppress the weak with strong force, but it is too short to deal with monsters. Therefore, he delayed for a moment to commandeer some cavalry lances from the baron's guards who had just rushed to the front of the militia.

It is wrong to say that it was a delay, because Knight Rumi had already taken into account the armor that Kil was wearing when the accident happened.

He expected that he would be protected by iron armor and he would be able to rush over in time.

But he didn't expect that, not to mention being surrounded and attacked by monsters, Kil actually killed a monster and rescued another person without any injuries.

This made Knight Rumi a little surprised, but also extremely satisfied.

This kid Kil looks like nothing, but he is able to face the battle with monsters with ease. Not only are you not nervous, but you can also work hard to get results.

But Knight Rumi's cold snort was addressed to the several baron guards who had just escaped from the monster.

These guys, faced with the monster attack, actually fled without fighting. Although this was also what they should have done, luring the monster to the large army was a step that was explained before, but compared with Kiel, it was far behind.

Boom, boom, boom.

The tall war horse ran with all its strength, and the trembling sound when it touched the ground could not even be suppressed by the roar of the surrounding wind.

Different from ordinary horses, the extraordinarily tall war horses can run much faster than ordinary horses. Knight Rumi gave way to the two fleeing Kirs, and the spear in his hand was directly aimed at the three monsters that followed.

"呷-"

The monsters saw that this new enemy was not easy to mess with, so they started with an unstoppable scream.

The speed of sound was so fast that it swept past Rumi Knight in just an instant.

But what surprised the three monsters was that their attack, which had always worked well in the past, only made the metal human in front of them sway slightly?

"Huh." Knight Rumi certainly didn't feel comfortable, but with the blessing of life energy, the knight's physical fitness was still a little bit worse if his ears were hurt by the sound of such force.

Not only was he okay, but even his war horse was not afraid of the monsters' high-pitched calls, and faced several monsters without slowing down.

Knight Rumi was about to thrust his spear out to get a victory when approaching the monster. The three harpies cunningly flapped their wings at this moment, riding on the wind to avoid the range of the knight's spear attack.

Not only that, they flapped their wings continuously and raised their altitude. They did not dare to fight directly against the steel-wrapped humans, but instead attacked the fleeing Kiel duo and the ordinary militiamen further behind.

Avoiding the sharp edge and focusing on killing the weak is one of the reasons why the harpy is feared by the locals.

But Knight Rumi was unwilling to give in. Why did he let the monsters escape without taking down any of them?

He took his feet in steel combat boots out of the stirrups, retracted his dexterous legs, held up his hands, and squatted directly on the horse's back.

The war horse that communicated with its owner immediately changed direction without slowing down. Then, there was a shock on the horse's back, and the four legs of the war horse pressed down for a distance. Fortunately, the ground was soft, and a lot of force was sent to the ground along the four horse legs. Go up.

But Knight Rumi jumped on the horse and jumped up high.

The speed and height of his jump were even faster and higher than those of the winged harpies. Since the three harpies all had their backs to him at this time, Knight Rumi's helmet and visor raised confidently. From the corner of his mouth, he immediately waved his arms in the air, watched the harpy's flight trajectory, and projected the two-meter-long cavalry spear with a whine.

With a real whine, the tip of the spear broke through the air, followed the direction of the strong wind, faintly drew a strip of ripples in the air, and accurately hit a harpy with a low arc that was almost a straight line. Strange wing roots.

With a distance of tens of meters and such an urgent time to throw the spear, Knight Rumi had no more time to aim. This result is already very good. Moreover, although the harpy monsters bully humans and have no means of dealing with them flying in the air, so the flight path is a bit careless, after all, there is still a strong wind hanging around. Those monsters who want to fly by the wind will inevitably rely on their instincts to fly in a small area. Adjust flight path.

Being able to hit the target with one shot is already a high level of martial arts performance.

But he said that the harpy whose wings were shot, no matter how strong the wings of the monsters were, was no different from ordinary birds when faced with the spears projected by the knights.

The spear head broke through the hard flight feathers, passed through the tough muscles, and finally hit the hollow wing bone of the harpy monster and got stuck.

At the same time, the barrel behind the spear exploded with great force and broke into pieces, piercing the monster's feathered skin and wounding and smashing most of the monster's body.

"Wuxia——"

Like a downed plane, the harpy let out a continuous howl, and when the other intact wing was deflected by the wind, it spiraled and fell to the ground.

Due to the poor grasp of the final angle of falling, this harpy monster has never been knocked down from the sky in its life, and it has never seen other companions like this, so naturally it cannot master the safe method of falling in a short time.

They monsters usually play around with each other, and they would not do such dangerous actions. After all, the landing angle is not good, and the strong and dangerous claws do not need to fall first. If other parts of the body collide with the ground, the bones will be broken and feathers will be broken.

Although this is not fatal to a monster with such tenacious vitality, it is also uncomfortable. It is very easy for oneself to be ridiculed and ridiculed by other harpy monsters in the settlement.

As a result, the harpy plunged into the ground, its hard skull even smashed through the turf, and its entire head was buried in the soil.

"Gah?"

"Yah!"

The other two harpies were startled, turned around in the air, and saw Knight Rumi who was slowly falling.

It is self-evident who knocked down their companions.

One of the two monsters seemed to be frightened. After seeing it, he immediately flapped his wings and flew higher. After all, he is a flying species in the sky. When encountering danger, his first instinctive reaction is to fly higher.

But the other strong harpy who led the team seemed to be provoked and was dissatisfied that his side was defeated by humans in the sky. For a moment, it couldn't care less about Kil who killed one of them.

He immediately turned around and pounced on, uh, the knight's horse?

After all, it is a cunning monster that knows how to attack the horses ridden by humans first.

But it thought too much. The knight's horse was no ordinary horse. It soon began to suffer.

-

Kiel and the injured Bloodfangster rode up to the militia team. He did not approach the militia team directly, holding spears like hedgehogs. Enter the team through a special gap.

Pulling the reins to stop the horse, Kil first supported the saddle and got off the horse, and then helped Bloody Fangster off the horse.

The wound on his leg that was directly pierced by the monster's claw was still bleeding, which made Xueyaster's face extremely pale. Before, he still had the strength to tie his leg to reduce the bleeding, and even got up and stretched out his hand to grab Keir.

But now, it seems that he is out of the most dangerous time. Bloody Fangster has lost all his strength and can only breathe in small mouths, unable to move.

"Stop the bleeding first, stop the bleeding first." Kil muttered to himself, even though he couldn't hear what he said, but he still immediately took off the rope made of leather pants tied around the injured leg of Bloody Fang, and emptied the blood. Before losing a lot of money again, Kiel took a piece of rope from the horse of the baron's guard next to him.

This time, Kil tightly bound Xueyaster's legs. Although tightly binding his legs like this could easily break the legs, this was the best way to stop the bleeding in a short time.

At least lives were saved for a short time.

But with the presence of the priests accompanying the army, his life was saved and his wounds were not a big problem.

His ears were ringing, and only then did Kil realize that the lips of the people around him were opening and closing, but no meaningful sounds or words could be heard. Fortunately, it was not just Kil who was like this, but also several of the baron's guards who escaped early. They shouted loudly at a volume that could not be covered by the strong wind, but they themselves could not hear anything.

It wasn't until one person removed the guard-style helmet that he discovered that there were blood stains flowing out of both ears under the helmet.

This was deafened by the monster's attack.

If everyone hadn't known that the priest was there, they would have been in a panic by now.

The same was true for Kil. He knew that the injury would be cured by the priest, so he didn't care about anything else. He looked at Knight Rumi fighting a monster in the distance behind him, and the fighting spirit surged out of his heart, which he couldn't suppress at all.

‘Gotta help Knight Rumi. ’

With this thought in mind, Kil turned his head and looked in the direction of the logistics carriage in the middle of the army, and found that Knight Crow on a carriage was guarding the surroundings with a sword, especially in the direction of the militia team on the other side where Knight Rumi was not present.

Obviously the knights were worried that there were other harpies around and could not throw their knights' combat power in one go. If Knight Crow also joins the battle of Knight Rumi, let’s not talk about whether it will damage Knight Rumi’s knightly dignity. Let’s just say that both of them have taken action, and they are still on one side of the team. If a few more eagles are killed on the other side, If a monster attacks, can they make it in time?

And as previously judged by Knight Crowe and Baron Kendall, the harpies were already very dangerous in number due to the tribute animal meat from the traveling trade, exceeding the upper limit of the number that the local grassland should naturally survive.

It is very possible for multiple monsters to ambush you.

Although Kil didn't think much about it, he still vaguely sensed this meaning from the behavior of Knight Crow. He knew that Knight Crow was not able to take action at this time, and he must be guarding against more harpies that might be hiding.

He took a deep breath, got on his horse, and in the surprised eyes of the people around him, he once again rushed out of the tightly defended militia team.

Go straight to the place where the battle is taking place.

At this moment, the harpy monster leading the team was extremely careful. It only used volley attacks to test Rumi Knight again and again. It never flew at low altitude for a long time. Once the attack failed or was blocked, it immediately flapped its wings and tried again. Pull up.

Moreover, this cunning guy was afraid of being shot down by the knight from behind by throwing a cavalry lance. When it raised its flying height, it actually flapped its wings facing Knight Rumi.

There is no flaw at all.

Therefore, Knight Rumi put away his previous contempt for the local knight lord who died deep in the strange wind grassland.

If the harpies are so difficult to deal with, then when there is only one knight, it is really not unfair to be defeated.
