Chapter 106, Fight! Oath-Breaking with Knight Rumi

Knight Crow and Knight Rumi shouted together: "Soldiers!" before the monster could deafen the soldiers with its deafening cry.

"Kendall people!"

The two shouted in tandem.

“All the way south, you all showed your tenacity!”

"With bravery!"

"obey!"

“With Unity!”

Knight Crow holds the throwing spear in his left hand, and draws out the magic gem's gorgeous long sword in his right hand. This is the prize for the winner in the internal competition of the Imperial Frontier Knights. It shines in the afternoon sun. Knight Crow has already planned to use this weapon to fight with all his strength. .

"Today, monsters are coming."

"It's time for us to show it."

"The bravery of the Kendals!"

"With the will to fight!"

Knight Crow raised his sword high, and the horseman stood up. When the sword reached its highest point, it emitted magical light from the blade, like a torch, more like a lighthouse that everyone could see.

"We will all be attacked by monsters later and lose our hearing."

"Don't doubt it, this is a difficult test on the battlefield!"

“This is the time to rise to the challenge!”

"Let's join hands."

"Defeat the enemy!"

"Defeat the enemy!"

The two knights galloped around the army, one behind the other, throwing spears at the monsters flying in the air, trying to give them more time to arouse the soldiers' will to fight.

But although the monsters couldn't understand human language, they keenly felt the momentum of the human army rising as the two shouted.

But this can't happen anymore.

They then screamed with terrifying shrieks, interrupting the shouts of the two knights.

More monsters spread out and pounced down fiercely, the screams in their lungs and throats already brewing.

"Fight freely! Until all enemies are killed!"

"fighting!"

The two knights shouted one last cry that could be heard by everyone, and then they separated and started fighting completely freely.

As for the dozens of harpies that pounced down, the first thing they encountered was not the attack of the two knights, but hundreds of countless crossbow arrows shot neatly from bottom to top.

Whoosh——

As if the wild growth of weeds in spring has been accelerated ten thousand times, densely packed crossbow arrows are shooting at the monsters in the sky from the front or back.

Many young harpies were instantly frightened and had to scream out their suppressed screams in advance when they were still dozens of meters away from the human army on the ground.

"呷——————"

The elongated and high-pitched scream, which was even more distorted than that of an evil spirit, caused many originally excited militiamen to cover their heads in pain, even from a long distance away.

But the more deadly ones are the older and more experienced harpies.

These old monsters, whose wings are no longer as neat as when they were young, are cunning and not frightened by the terrifying counterattack of humans. Instead, they rely on their lifelong hunting instincts to flip their wings and dodge away at the last moment with extremely thrilling movements. Aim and shoot at them.

Whoosh, a standard crossbow bolt passed over the monster's head, then slowed down slightly, and dodged another crossbow bolt that would hit the wings.

When these courageous monsters were about to fall to the ground, they suddenly spread their wings and slowed down after eating enough wind.

At the same time, the monsters with ferocious eyes widened their mouths, and the muscles in their chests contracted, squeezing the lung-full of air through their throats.

The tenacious monster's vocal cords trembled, and it used an extremely high-frequency sound to deliver a blow that was not fatal but had very serious consequences.

"呷——————"

Or the screams of monsters.

But this time, the extremely close and large-scale coverage blow caused hearing damage and deafness to at least dozens of humans in one breath for every old harpy monster that came close to this distance.

Not only that, the sharp sound also caused a large number of soldiers around them to cover their heads and roll to the ground in pain. Some people raised their crossbows with red eyes and shot at the monster, but their trembling hands and the blurred vision made them Can't shoot anything.

Only some people were lucky enough to shoot the crossbow arrows into the monster's huge open wings, but most of them only passed the crossbow arrows through the monster's wing feathers, and a few who were particularly lucky shot the monster's wings and body limbs.

The monster that fell to the ground was immediately surrounded by the surrounding militiamen holding spears several meters long. "Ah!!!" The militiamen could not hear their own shouts. In addition, in such a special battlefield environment at this time, They shouted like crazy and rushed forward with their spears.

Although its wings were damaged, the harpy monster is still about three meters tall, with long legs. It tightens its wings and flaps left and right, swinging away the spears that are thrust at it.

The captain of the militia team with a sword and shield lowered his body to get rid of the spears of his companions. When the monster turned around and flapped its wings to hit the spears, he sneakily approached the harpy monster from behind.

When there were only two meters left, he rolled forward and avoided the giant wings that the monster turned and swept towards him again.

The outermost feathers on the harpy's wings were particularly tough, and even after they collided with the tips of spears, they still managed to survive.

After getting out of the way of the monster's wings, the militia captain directly slashed the monster's lean legs with his sword.

Hereby——

The man immediately felt something was wrong with his hand. The skin outside the monster's legs and claws was particularly tough. The sword slashed horizontally, not as if it was cutting the monster's body, but more like it was hitting the trunk of a big tree.

Not allowing him to think too much, the harpy immediately raised its foot and scratched it.

He hurriedly set up his shield, but the wooden shield on his left arm crackled loudly. The monster's counterattack scratched a large amount of wood on the front of the shield.

The man knew that he was no match, so he prepared to retreat and fight again, but the monster showed no mercy and immediately flapped its wings and jumped towards him.

He had seen before what happened to the baron's personal guards after they were caught by monsters.

He was wearing a hard cowhide armor, and it was still scarred. He was just a fish with a leather half-armor hanging on his upper body. If he was caught by a monster, he would die.

But fortunately, the road is boundless, and the militia captain is not fighting alone. He is surrounded by his companions. Seeing the harpies landing here, they all rushed towards it.

"kill!!!"

Five tall and strong young peasants lined up in a row with a roar, holding up the spears tightly in their hands, and ran towards the monster with large strides.

They shouted together, pointing their long spear points directly at the ferocious monster showing off its power.

These are villagers from Duolalin Village. Thanks to the training of the veterans in their village, these people have a steady pace. They step firmly and give enough strength to each step before taking the next step.

At the same time, his arms were not stretched as straight as others, so he used the last possible opportunity of the spear to increase its strength early. Their arms are retracted, which looks awkward and cumbersome. In fact, when they finally pierce the enemy, the arms are stretched out, which can add more strength to the spear.

Their eyes were also fixed on the tall monster, even if they were afraid in their hearts, but it was either life or death at this time. They had completely forgotten the worries they had when they were mixed in the crowd and watched Kiel and the others fighting from a distance.

Several people moved in unison. At this time, they only had one thought: hit the monster!

"Kill!!! Ahhhhhh"

Roaring, the five of them quickly approached the monster. Seeing the right moment, the five of them stabbed their arms forward together. With the force of the whole person's forward thrust, at least four of the five of them pierced the monster's chest with their spears.

Puff puff puff puff!

Although the monster was tall and powerful, its body was extremely light. When the four of them hit the target, the force of the impact directly pushed the monster back. Opposite them, on the other side of the siege, other militiamen who could not hear could also see that this was a monster. Taking a good opportunity, more than a dozen people shouted in confusion and thrust their spears into the monster that was retreating.

Puff, puff, puff, the sharp spear tip penetrated the tough and dense monster's body, piercing the monster front and back. No matter how the monster struggled, flapped its wings, or scratched its claws, it could not be hurt by the several-meter-long spear. Other humans who live in it.

When the five people saw the monster trying to flap its wings and fly, they directly pressed the spears in their hands to the ground. The other side saw the same thing. The strength of more than ten people was far greater than that of one monster. They killed this old but experienced monster. The fierce monster was pinned to the ground.

Seeing this, he had already controlled the monster, and six people jumped out from the gaps in the spears.

They are all captains and deputy captains of the militia team who use swords and shields. They either squat down and walk quickly, or deftly step on the spears of their companions, or they work in pairs, with the shield in front and the sword blade behind. They stuck together and steadily approached the monster suppressed on the ground.

"Kill it!!"

"Go to hell! You ugly damn monster!"

They shouted obscenities that they could not hear, and used their shields to block the monster's frantically flapping wings, but the counterattack came immediately, swinging their swords and repeatedly slashing at the body parts of the monster's wings.

Tough feathers?

Then smash the feathers!

Can the bones and flesh be chopped into pieces?

Then slash repeatedly! Chop it into a pulp!

The militiamen shouted, smashed the monster's wings, and then approached the harpy monster's body and torso. They allowed the monster to continue roaring with painful screams. They directly rounded the weapons in their hands, smashed the monster's eyes, and chopped them. Break its teeth and crush the tongue in the monster's mouth.

Some brave guys took out their self-defense daggers and stabbed it into the monster's eye socket.

Phew!

Stunned by the liquid in the monster's eyes, the man ignored it and vigorously stirred the dagger left and right, killing the monster completely.

"Oh oh oh oh!!! I killed it! I killed it!"

He followed the others and shouted something he couldn't hear, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he stood up and looked around, only to find that there were several battle groups just like them here.

The crowd gathered together, roaring, and marched forward bravely, surrounding the harpy monsters that were knocked to the ground by the knights.

The formations taught before were scattered and completely thrown aside.

Everyone knows that this is a life-and-death battle. After all, human enemies can surrender, but they have never heard of monsters being able to surrender.

-

After the battle officially started, the two knights no longer cared about commanding.

They clearly understood that there were so many monsters that it was obviously impossible to prevent them from deafening most of the soldiers. Therefore, no sounds or orders can be heard, and the so-called command is no longer possible.

At this time, you should believe in the militiamen they trained. Believe that these young guys are not cowards. They know how to fight to win. If they cower or run away, not only will humans be unable to spare those guys, but the monsters will probably not let them get away easily either. of human food.

Knight Crow rode on his horse and threw his spear to disperse the monsters that wanted to gather to capture the soldiers on the ground. Then he pointed at Knight Rumi and made a circular motion with his sword.

The meaning is simple and clear. Let the two of them ride horses and run in a circle. They cannot just defend and support the battle in one place.

Because the enemy has wings and can fly in the sky. Not to mention other things, his ability to move far exceeds that of human beings who cannot fly.

They all fight on the side where they originally faced the enemy, and the monsters on the other side will concentrate their efforts to attack first.

He didn't forget what the baron said before. The biggest advantage of the harpies in fighting them was that they could grab heavy objects and throw them down from the sky, killing and injuring them, but they were unable to fight back.

Therefore, it cannot be defeated in any direction, causing the monsters to control a large number of human corpses.

The corpse is also a heavy object, and it can easily kill a person if dropped.

After receiving the prompt, Knight Rumi nodded and turned around, running towards the original front line of the army's militia team. The Crow Knights quickly moved towards the smaller militia team behind them to support them.

Sure enough, compared to the right side of the army that dispersed in advance, the militia teams in other directions did not completely disperse. This resulted in the monsters screaming to deafen all humans. The least people on the right side were affected, and many people were affected. My ears hurt, but I could still hear some sounds.

The crossbow-wielding militiamen who had dispersed before were now either alone or in groups of two or three, firing crossbow arrows at the harpies flying in the sky.

This makes it impossible for the monsters flying in the sky to support their companions who unfortunately landed.

The monsters were particularly cunning. They had rich hunting experience and saw that the right side of the human army was more difficult to deal with than other directions. So under the command of the big leader from high in the sky, the monsters on the right side immediately turned around and killed in other directions.

Knight Rumi held a shield in his left hand and several throwing spears in his right hand. When he saw a harpy monster trying to pounce down to grab a lone human on the ground, he threw two or three throwing spears in succession to drive the monster away. .

After saving the man, he yelled at the soldier to stay with the others and fight. If you don't have that ability, don't act cool and think about defeating monsters alone.

The deaf soldier was a little panicked and confused, but when he saw the direction of Knight Rumi's finger, which was the other gathered militia teams, he realized that the knight wanted him to join the others.

"I understand, sir! Thank you for saving my life! Thank you!"

The young soldier shouted words of thanks loudly, which made Knight Rumi, who was not deaf, speechless for a while. Why are you shouting so loudly? You can't hear it. Is this a sign of thanks? Do you know that when thanking someone, you should expose your belly?

(Joking.)

Seeing this young soldier who was alone and wanted to kneel down on the battlefield to thank him, Knight Rumi felt a headache. How long had it been since then to do this?

Riding on his horse and bending down, the knight caught the soldier and threw him towards the other soldiers with a clever move. Knight Rumi continued to fight.

He let his war horse gallop at high speed, knowing that it was not the time to counterattack yet, so he mainly focused his energy on rescuing people and providing support. He drove the scattered crossbow-wielding militiamen together and waved them to fire a volley of crossbow arrows, forcing the harpies to dare not lower their heights to catch people.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!"

Just when I was thinking about this, an unlucky guy was thrown down from a height of hundreds of meters by a harpy.

The soldier shouted desperately, but he was getting closer and closer to the ground.

And the landing point was right in the middle of a whole group of militiamen gathered together.

The captain of that team seemed to have some skills. On such a chaotic and commandless battlefield, he actually kept the entire team full, with not only one person missing, but also refused the others' attempts to come closer.

After being deafened by the monster, the captain of this team still slapped his companions and gestured with his hands, asking the five spear militiamen in the team to raise their spears diagonally toward the sky, while the other five crossbow-wielding militiamen were in the team. In the middle, following the direction of his own finger, he fired a volley of attacks at the attackable harpies within the shooting range.

Although the crossbow arrows cannot hit the monsters flying high in the sky, the harpies will always fall down. When they grab heavy objects on the ground, they greedily want to snatch away the lone soldiers.

This is the moment the squad leader needs.

But what he did was completely exposed to the eyes of the monsters in the sky.

A harpy monster caught a lone human soldier and flew it high into the sky with fluttering wings. The leader of the harpy monsters immediately ordered to throw the 'bomb' at the place it chose. go.

After breaking up this group of soldiers, the surrounding chaotic human soldiers can be captured again by its other subordinates.

If this happens repeatedly, the human army will surely suffer the most disastrous defeat just like it did more than ten years ago.

-

Knight Rumi noticed that the soldier was taken to the sky. He really couldn't rush up to save him in time. When he was annoyed, he saw the monster that had just brought the man into the sky and threw him down.

"Damn it!"

As soon as he took a look, he could tell what the monsters were planning to do.

His legs slammed into the horse's belly, and the metal boots and the metal vest on the horse's belly made a clanging sound.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!"

The man was thrown from the sky, letting out the loudest screams a human could make all the way down.

But the worst thing is that the small circle of militiamen on the ground seems to be unaware of it. Under the command of the team leader, they still fire crossbows in the distance to hinder the attack on the harpies in the distance.

"Ha, ha, ha. This is the only way! Forgive me! My master!!!"

Knight Rumi roared and threw a spear.

But it wasn't the harpy he was aiming at, but the human who was dropped from the sky.

The throwing spear thrown by Knight Rumi vibrated in the air and accurately hit the still living Kendall militiaman in a straight flight path.

What's particularly amazing is that when the throwing gun that was supposed to pass through people hit the fallen militiaman, the vibration on the gun barrel miraculously deflected the trajectory of the entire throwing gun at the moment of impact.

The spear did not pass through the human body, but was shot horizontally on the torso of the poor militiaman who was still alive.

But just at this moment, the young man was interrupted by the force of the throwing spear and wooden pole, and most of the tissues in his body were broken. He was stunned at that moment. The destructive power brought by the huge force had not yet caused him any pain, so he lost consciousness.

The body of the militiaman who had been hit was seven or eight meters away, and hit the grass on the side of the militia group with a bang.

Even as the grass blades rolled around, and in the horrified eyes of the people around, one could still see that the small piece of grass had a curved olive-shaped dent made by the body that fell from the sky.

Only then did the team leader realize that he had just been pulled back from the world of death.

He and his men looked at the Knight Rumi who was running past. Everyone was frightened. Some were horrified that they had almost died just now, while others saw the dent in the side and realized it. What did Knight Rumi do just now?

The militiamen who were a little further away could see it more clearly. Although they were still fighting, they all looked confused as if they had lost half of their souls.

Knight Rumi's face under the steel helmet was of course even more ugly.

What can he do?

Are you watching an excellent soldier die and making the situation worse?

Not to mention that his actions just now, even if he acted in a hurry, still seriously violated the Warrior Hall Church that he had just joined, and the oath he made to the gods when he joined in secret.

This is no better than the knight's oath of allegiance to the monarch, which is bound by actual laws and regulations and social justice.

It was a vow from the heart, he spoke it, and the gods listened.

Nowadays, killing soldiers brutally is an sworn felony, but Knight Rumi doesn't know how the gods will view this matter.

Thinking of this, he stared fiercely at the harpies around him.

It's all to blame on these nasty monsters, kill them, kill them with all your strength, and maybe you can even out the merits and demerits.

The knight got excited again and urged his war horses to move at high speed. Not only did he cover the front line of the army, but he also expanded the area to include the scattered militia teams around him.

He waved his arms and asked the soldiers to gather in the direction of the carriage. Not only was there a carriage for defense, but Baron Kendall was sitting there, and the baron gathered the priests there. When can the battlefield magic be used?

Hurry!
