Chapter 48 assembly
While Roland, full of interest, was talking about i system, the sound of distant horns could be heard!
The patrol team would only blow the horn in the case that they couldn’t cope with the current situation, alerting the town to assemble soldiers
Roland and Carter looked at each other surprised, and then iuards already had already prepared horses Roland directly mounted his horse and rode with Carter and his men in the direction of the walls
When they arrived at the wall, they saw that all members of the militia had already cli up a forest of pikes Seeing this gave Roland a feeling of relief – the eggs hadn’t been a waste after all
Looking North-West, Roland could see a group of black shadows approaching Border Town He reckoned that their numbers were over twenty
Iron Axe left his defending position and trotted over After giving a salute he said, “Your Highness, this group of dee”
“Strange? Are you saying that they would norroup?”
“That’s not it,” Iron Axe explained, “if they were to pack animals before the fall, then they would still retain that habit – such as the wolf species But this kind of species doesn’t belong to this kind, they normally wouldn’t act this way, they seem to be on a mission Earlier the hunters had already seen the beasts killing each other”
The demonic beasts were only a mutation of their forinal habits, but at the saer In a sense, the intelligence of a demonic beast was lower than that of a wild anierous areas that they would normally never cross
Roland carefully observed the group of de and suish at least two different kind of beasts, one kind wolf and the other bison Species which would normally kill each other had suddenly learnt that they had to work together to acco
Because they still had to pass through some obstacles and traps set up by Iron Axe, they slowly crowded together in front of the center of the city wall
Van’er felt his hands beco the pike had becoe of the fact that no one was looking at him, he secretly wiped his hands on his clothes
The Hunter Captain repeatedly said, “You have to relax; take deep breaths” Van’er repeatedly tried to do this but still could not stop his accelerated heartbeat He had already lived in the West for s of the de of the Months of the De demonic beasts were all shot down by the hunter squads, so he slowly lost his fear of the deht of himself as a brave and battle-hardened soldier, but today, facing so s still trembled
He rehness as a vice captain, so Van’er tried to show a calm appearance, and kept the defense position
The group of deh that he couldin the front was one demonic beast of the bison species On its head it had two arrowing on its back seehtly like a cloak When it was only thirty feet away fro He licked his dry lips, and waited for the Captain to issue the command to thrust
Then a loud bang could be heard
The bison demonic beast actually didn’t reduce its speed, but hit its head straight against the wall, totally crushi+ng its head and splashi+ng black blood everywhere, painting the wall black
Van’er didn’t even have the time to breathe, the bison was immediately followed by tolves which jumped up off of the dead bison’s back
“Thrust out!”
Hearing the Captain’s command, Van’er subconsciously thrust out with his pike – even though the wolf species wasn’t rushi+ng toward hiood as their thrusts during their training Some thrust their pikes many times in succession, and some people who saw the wolves jump thrust their pikes only once, while others did not react for a long ti the command
As a result, only one as driven back and the other juap in the pike forest and landed on the wall
“Keep the formation!” yelled the Captain once more
Although Van’er would have liked to turn into a bird and look at the situation where the wolf had ju their training that when so their attention, the front would turn into the roup of attacking beasts with his eyes, and gripped the pike as strongly as he could
