Chapter 18 – Wolf Pack

The fire pots had all been set alight, and Blackflag Outpost was thoroughly illuh the entire outpost like a teue The sound of sobbing and screa beast wave drew closer and closer

Beast waves! They were thenatural disasters which existed in the wastelands! This was a unique type of battle for survival which only wastelanders would ever encounter, a battle launched by large nuainst the outposts where athered

Cloudhawk had just arrived here a o, and so he had naturally never experienced one of these beast waves personally And yet, he had heard so beast waves from the older mercenaries Supposedly, the vastdestroyed by beast wave outbreaks Each beast wave portended a calamitous baptish to resist the beast wave, it would still suffer heavy losses and rivers of blood would for to suffer this same fate as well?

An atmosphere of terror and despair pervaded the outpost Even Cloudhawk felt rather nervous He had never experienced a calamity like this before, and he had no idea as to what he would be facing

Just as everyone’s hearts were in a state of disarray, a series of frenzied growls could be heard ru landslide, like waves crashi+ng against the shore! The terrifying sounds represented pure bloodlust, ether and then unleash in a single tidal wave of noise The spiritual pressure they brought alone was enough to shake even the deepest parts of one’s soul

What sort of terrifying creatures could possibly make such hideous sounds? Cloudhawk stared frouely ures were advancing at high speeds under the reen eyes that blazed like abyssal fire, and they brought a coht!

What in the world were these things?! Just as Cloudhaondering this question to hi outpost archers as standing with bon in one of the archery parapets let out a terrified shout “Oh, shi+t ROTWOLVES!!”

“fuck, fuck! I can’t even count the number of rotwolves!”

Every single outpost soldier was a carefully selected elite warrior They were reliable in both personal power as well as ht even people as strong as the the horror that they felt As for the squads of irregulars? They were even more terrified

“The wastelands are filled with those rotwolves”

“Oh my God… we are all doomed”

“There’s no e can beat that many rotwolves Everyone, run for your lives!”

The ulars captained by Lain alan to break down Rotwolves were enormous mutant wolves that roamed the wastelands, and they were named that way because their flesh was so putrid and poisonous that there was no way to consuraht lis of enorrams!

These particular mutabeasts were not only brutal, they were also extremely crafty Every ordinary rotould be a uards in power, but tonight at least seven or eight hundred rotwolves had already appeared Things were looking very gri in wait Even if there really were just eight hundred, it would be a calamity for the outpost!

Captain Lain had clearly never expected for the situation to be this gri hand was starting to tremble, but he still spoke out in his hoarse voice to calm his men “Just a few hundred wolves, while we have several thousand warriors The hell are you all afraid of? Man up!”

But who could possibly h the outpost held thousands of warriors and was protected by a defensive periuarantee that front-line soldiers like them would be able to survive? More and more soldiers started to move to flee

“Archers!” Captain Lain was able to tell that the situation was about to spiral out of patrol He ih into the air, and the six archers behind him immediately drew their bows The archers on the watchtowers all turned towards him as well “Kill them!”

Cloudhawk could clearly hear the bowstrings twanging The first wave of arroeren’t aimed at the beasts outside; they were actually ai! Twang! Twang! Several fleeing soldiers let out round As for the archers, they once more nocked their bows and aimed the cruel arrowheads towards the others

“That’s what happens to deserters!” Captain Lain’s hoarse voice rang out in everyone’s ears “If Blackflag Outpost is destroyed, do you really think you’ll be able to find another place to live? hell, without Blackflag Outpost, will any of you even be able to survive these wastelands? Pick up your damn weapons We live or die with the outpost!”

Faced with those taut bowstrings, everyone had no choice but to acquiesce silently As for Cloudhawk, he felt a degree of respect for Captain Lain He truly was a valiant and charis Outpost fell, would they ever be able to find another place like it?

He ht not love this place, but this wasn’t the time to leave it! He’d rather die than end up a wastelands scavenger once rip around his shortsword He had decided to defend the outpost to the bitter end

Captain Lain’sthe chaotic situation He split up the regular soldiers and inserted thehout his troops, as he knew exactly how unreliable his irregulars were Not only could his regular soldiers help to sth in each section, they would also be able to serve as his supervisory sergeants once battle began

The wolf pack was ht was filled with their long, drawn-out howls Even the earth was shaking slightly as the crazed, bloodthirsty wolves advanced like a foul wind, and it was as though a dark haze had appeared around the hearts of the men who saw them

“They are about to attack!”
