Throne of the North

"What the hell is Ryan doing? Why so slow?!"

On Thunder Cloud Mountain, Shaya Meyers was like a raging lion. During this time, she organized the nobles of Thunder Cloud County to fight against the werewolf army, and she was almost driven crazy.

This was different from the adventures she had taken before. She could not escape, take detours, or avoid its sharp edges. She could only prove hard resistance.

As a noble, you have to face all this and face the werewolf attack. It is precisely because of this that the casualties in Leiyun County during this period are countless.

If it weren't for the complexity of Thunder Cloud Mountain, the werewolves would have already occupied the Marquis's castle.

But Baron Lane is still arriving slowly, and has not arrived at the battlefield of Leiyun Mountain until now.

What is Ryan doing? He is still training.

He wanted to give these slaves' army the confidence to win, so that they would not be defeated immediately when facing the werewolves.

And this requires the joy of victory after victory to build confidence.

A defeated army is nothing to worry about. An army that is good at fighting is always victorious. Only with more and more victories can the morale and combat effectiveness of the army remain at their peak.

This is still a kind of deception, but this kind of deception can make humans no longer fearful. Fear is the werewolf's greatest weapon against humans.

As for what happened afterwards...

"They are not that powerful and cannot stop us from following the light!"

"After climbing over that mountain, you can see the warmer sunshine."

"No evil orc can defeat our faith in light!"

Ryan listened to the voice of the 'preacher' in his ears and raised his head to look at the sky. The sun was high, the sun was bright, and the golden halo dyed the end of the world. He was not sure whether these beliefs could arouse the God of Light. Attention, if there is no divine gift and no miracle, the war may not be easy.

…

At the foot of Leiyun Mountain, the fierce attack of werewolves once again defeated the human defense line. The knights practiced their dignity and faith and defended to the death in front of the nobles. When another dawn came, one knight still failed to survive. , the werewolf broke through the gap and rushed towards Leiyun Mountain.

There, Shaya was holding a knight's sword, and Rosalind beside her frowned, trying to pull the woman back, but she was angrily thrown away.

"Do you really think I'm the same as those women?"

"No, that's not the time."

Rosalind had no choice but to point to the knights below. They were fighting back crazily. In the end, the werewolf still failed to get close to Shaya.

The panting werewolves finally retreated. They bared their teeth and looked at the nobles on the mountain, and let out bloodthirsty roars.

When the werewolves retreated, Ryan also led the army to the camp at the foot of Leiyun Mountain. The place was already in a mess, and werewolves had destroyed it many times.

The soldiers in the flames of war raised their heads numbly and looked at the reinforcements, which were even more embarrassed than them. There was not much brilliance in their eyes. They had experienced the war here and knew what the war here looked like.

Except for the Lord Knight, no one can fight against those powerful werewolves.

The first time Ryan arrived, he dug holes and let tens of thousands of soldiers continue to dig holes and trenches on this land. He did not go up the mountain, but seeing the appearance of so many human reinforcements, the werewolf also hesitated briefly. , and then thousands of wolf howls sounded on the ground.

The werewolves were calling for more werewolves to come, and finally on the second night of Ryan's arrival, the werewolves gathered again and launched an attack.

"ignition!"

Ryan gave an order, and thousands of flaming arrows flickered in the night sky and landed in the ravines.

Rumbling, the flames burned on the dry grass, and the blazing fire reflected the ferocious face of the werewolf, and then the howling of the wolf came from the darkness.

"Ouch——"

The fishy wind carried the chill of the north, causing the fire to sway. A big foot stepped down, and a tall werewolf threw the werewolf next to him. The werewolf roared and flew into the air, landing on the other side of the flames. aside.

roar!

The threatening roar made the werewolf afraid, and when he turned around to face the humans, his eyes became bloodthirsty and violent. After a cry, he rushed towards the humans.

Werewolves were thrown over one after another, and then they charged towards the humans. When the werewolves were halfway through the charge, the ground suddenly collapsed, and then sharp spears penetrated the werewolves.

The knight looked at the soldiers around him without speaking, but the soldiers were all excited and trembling.

The werewolves didn't notice anything strange around them. They were still charging forward. In front, fully armed knights stood at the forefront of the army. The metal armor on their bodies covered every weakness, and their thick blood and blood The force held up the metal shield stuck in the ground, and only the tip of the sharp spear was exposed from the gap in the shield. The moment the werewolf collided, the shield tilted, and the spear poked out.

"attack!!!"

The best defense is to attack. From the rear of the Bucks Legion, thousands of soldiers rushed out from both sides. They had no more fear in the face of werewolves. They had participated more or less along the way. The action of killing the werewolf, and it was dark now. Under the light of the fire, humans could not see how many of their companions died in front of the werewolf at this moment.

The dead are no longer important to the truth, but the survivors firmly believe that what Ryan told them is correct.

Bang bang bang! ! !

The werewolves angrily hit the metal shields, but the owners of these shields were the powerful Bucks Legion knights. They had experience in dealing with werewolves, and also had the strength and reaction to surpass werewolves. They were stuck in place like nails. .

Two thousand five hundred knights and attendants were all that Ryan had brought out from the frozen soil, but this number could fight against tens of thousands of werewolves.

How many werewolves were rushing in front of them at this moment? There is no such quantity.

In the darkness, Ryan looked at both sides of the battlefield. The slave soldiers rushed out from both sides, and then were gradually reacted and defeated by the werewolves. Gradually, the werewolves began to gain the upper hand in the situation.

"charge!"

Bang!

The big shield fell, but it did not fall in the direction of the knight. Instead, the knight took the initiative to push it down and fell in the direction of the werewolf. They were manipulated when they were inserted. It was difficult to go inwards, but it was difficult to go out. Very simple.

The knights ran back two steps, then got on their horses, drew out their swords and pointed forward.

"charge!"

Boom! ! !

The knights drove their war horses towards the werewolf army and killed them. The northern war horses ran wildly on the ground. In front of them, in the potholes, soldiers led by the knights raised wooden door panels one after another. Some soldiers took them. Here comes the round wooden stake under the door panel.

"withstand!"

Only the knights know what will happen. The iron hoofs of the war horses will pass over their heads. If everything goes well, they will win tonight.

"Kill them all!"

In the pit, the soldiers heard the roar above their heads. It was the roar of the knights from the Tundra Territory. They also heard the desperate wails and angry roars of the werewolves. The intertwined sounds made these people turn pale, especially those above their heads. The door panel seemed to be almost unable to withstand it, and dirt kept falling from the gaps around the edges.

The cavalry charged in the darkness, and the eyes of all the horses were covered with cloth. In the face of the fire, the knights led the horses to turn in front of the blazing flame trench and gallop towards the side.

On the opposite side of the flames, the tall werewolf let out an angry howl, and then he flew directly towards the flames in a rage.

In mid-air, a knight bent his bow and drew an arrow while breathing, and shot the arrow at the flying werewolf. The huge force caused the werewolf to fall into the trench, and the burning flames ignited the hair on his body.

Hundreds of meters away, the cavalry slowly stopped and turned their horses to face the direction of the battlefield again. At this moment, the burning flames were no longer raging. The werewolves were excited. The werewolves who were furious in the flames of war finally crossed over quickly. In the gradually extinguished trench, more werewolves were killing the human army ahead.

"Wait a little longer."

General Michaela was looking for the location of those potholes, and finally he saw that among the countless werewolves rushing forward, some of them suddenly fell down.

"There."

Michaela pulled the reins, and the northern war horse ran wildly again. He adjusted his direction and led two thousand cavalry in a staggered direction to prevent the war horse from falling into those potholes.

"Kill them through!"

The most severe challenge came. The cavalry rushed into the werewolf army, and their speed changed from galloping to slow. The two generals of the Buck Army, Michaela and Harrington, faced hundreds of people in front of them and blocked the front. The werewolf had to pull the reins, causing the horse's front hooves to leap high, and then hit it hard. The knight's sword cut off the claws that were coming, but it still could not prevent some of the werewolf's attacks from falling on the horse.

The horse armor blocked part of the attack, but blood still flowed from the gaps. On the left and right sides, werewolves in the darkness leaped up from the ground and charged towards the knight on horseback.

"The Bucks cannot penetrate the werewolves."

This is the first time that Ryan miscalculated. The cavalry used to face many enemies and was able to cut through the army during the charge, causing the huge number of enemies on the battlefield to be divided into two and divided into eight, bit by bit. The battlefield became chaotic, thus establishing the dominance of cavalry.

But werewolves are more powerful than any previous enemy. The cavalry can only penetrate half of it. The werewolves with hunting instincts will fight back bloodthirsty, thus slowing down the cavalry. Without the blessing of speed, the cavalry's combat effectiveness is reduced by more than half. .

"Support them."

After Ryan finished speaking, the war horse under him had already rushed out. The attendants behind him naturally did not dare to hesitate when they saw this. The war horse trampled with iron hooves and charged forward.

The power of the Sky Knight allowed Ryan and Brand to easily fly away the werewolf in front of them, and the knight's sword fell down. The werewolf's hard bones were as fragile as paper in front of the legendary sword.

"Dismount! Surround the horses in the middle!"

Arriving in front of the cavalry, Ryan shouted loudly. More than two thousand attendants strictly obeyed the orders and quickly formed a formation. They were knights, and they also had enough suppressive power when facing werewolves. Gradually, finally on the battlefield, Stabilized the status of this legion.

"Michaela, lead your army to attack to the left!"

Michaela heard Ryan's voice, roared and knocked the werewolf in front of her, her blood was boiling and she hit the werewolf in front of her. The defense of the Bucks Legion shrank from a rounded square to a long and narrow one, with werewolves from time to time. He rushed over and tried to attack Ryan, but every time he couldn't reach Ryan, he would be killed by the knight's sword.

The thousand-man army accompanying Mikaela forced the werewolf formation on the side away, and finally a piece of land was vacated in the middle.

Ryan dismounted, patted Winter's butt, and then pulled off the cloth strips on the eyes of the war horses behind him.

"Charge!"

Winter understood what Ryan said and neighed. It was originally the horse king in the wilderness. Following its call, the war horses raised their heads and charged towards the open space where Michaela had fought.

"Get out of the way!"

The first person to react was Michaela. He caught a glimpse of the galloping of the war horse and pulled the shoulder of the knight next to him back.

The speed of the war horse rushed again, knocking the werewolf out. Michaela hesitated for a moment, but still grabbed the reins and rode a war horse in a flash, gradually coming to the front.

Finally, the werewolf army was penetrated, and the price was that the Stag Legion was surrounded in the middle, and only most of the war horses rushed out.

But Ryan believed in his legion, and he would not be defeated even if he was surrounded by werewolves in the dark.

"Defense, don't let the werewolves find a chance!"

At this moment, the Bucks Legion was like a hunter with his back against a big rock, surrounded by wolves. Whoever showed a flaw first would have to accept the failure of the hunt.

On the remaining warhorse, Ryan took the beast bow of an unknown servant. As the bow and arrow flew out, a werewolf in the dark also wailed.

The formation of the Bucks Legion shrank again. Hundreds of knights came to the protected center and used the beast bows to continuously attack the werewolves outside. The knights who were blocking the periphery were even more trapped in an irresistible battle. Except for behind them, there might be attacks from werewolves in any direction.

Until dawn, the bloodthirsty werewolves still couldn't accept the outcome of the failed attack, and frantically attacked the location of the Bucks Legion.

The sky gradually whitened and the battlefield became clearer. There were both werewolf and human corpses everywhere. It was hard to say who was more. All the remaining werewolves gathered around the Bucks Legion. No matter how brainwashed the slave soldiers were, a night of fighting also made the surviving soldiers have no more strength to support.

Fortunately, Michaela, who was at the edge of the battlefield, led the warhorse to gallop again, and rushed towards the werewolves in one direction. Thousands of werewolves were defeated, and the knights turned over their horses. They were exhausted and their strength was gradually recovering.

This was the power of the horse spirit blessing, which made their blood and qi reach a certain fit with the blood and qi of the warhorse.

The knights who slowly recovered their strength once again launched a fierce attack on the werewolves. When the sun shone down, the werewolves retreated unwillingly.

In the afternoon, Ryan finally climbed up the Thunder Cloud Mountain with the damage.

"There are only 3,000 werewolves killed below. The recovery ability of the werewolves is too strong. Many werewolves left with injuries, but our soldiers died more than 5,000."

More than 80% of the 3,000 dead werewolves came from the Bucks Legion, which means that the tens of thousands of slave troops killed less than 600 werewolves.

Of course, this war loss is not the real war loss, but just an approximation. For example, when Ryan went up the mountain, he saw the corpses of werewolves on it. Obviously, last night, many werewolves still crossed his army and rushed to Thunder Cloud Mountain.

But similarly, the combat effectiveness lost by humans is not just the number of 5,000.

"You are too late."

Shaya complained, but when she saw Ryan coming, she felt much more at ease.

"I came too early and couldn't stop this war."

Ryan turned and looked down the mountain. The army was cheering and celebrating their victory.

It was too dark last night, and humans couldn't see what was around them, so they didn't know that most of the time, werewolves killed humans wantonly.

Ryan would not tell them about the war losses and tragedy, but share the joy of victory to keep morale.

This is the result of his preparations along the way, but it is still not satisfactory.

"Earl Winter issued an order in the name of the commander-in-chief of the North Wind War, asking Thunder Cloud County and Longshan County to resist the attack of the werewolves and wait for the opportunity to counterattack."

"The magical thing is that the Flying Wolf Cavalry can actually issue this order to all nobles, even those whose castles have been surrounded by werewolves."

Ryan smiled and didn't care.

"Orders are secondary. He wants the nobles to understand who is making the decision in this war."

"I don't know if the werewolves know."

The first war in Thunder Cloud County ended briefly, and the army still had to dig pits and trenches.

"Are you going to completely destroy my farmland?"

Shaya shouted in dissatisfaction, but Ryan didn't care about the woman's wishes.

"We must defend against the werewolf's attack. You don't think that the war like last night will continue, do you?"

"Do you know how many of my knights died?"

Ryan glanced at the woman coldly. It was funny. The short-lived victory in the war last night was based on the combat effectiveness of the 2,500 knights under Baron Ryan. In addition, there were knights in the hands of the nobles of Lingdu County and Tieshan County, which added up to more than 3,200, and this number...

The entire Leiyun County could not come up with 2,000 knights.

The impact of Earl Weiss's defeat has not disappeared. The military strength of Leiyun County is pitifully weak. Of course, 3,000 knights, this number itself is also very scary.

The war like last night cannot be replicated, because the werewolves will change, and humans will also change. In the daytime war, humans are the most disadvantaged, because those slave soldiers can clearly see how the werewolves killed them, and how weak their strength is in front of the werewolves.

Just like the original soldiers here, they knew very well that werewolves were much more powerful than humans, and only knights could fight werewolves.

While the soldiers were digging trenches, Viscount Hogg of Yinchuan County also arrived late. He had been waiting for news from Ryan. After Ryan arrived, Viscount Hogg appeared here.
