Chapter 19 – The Alpha Wolf

Several of the wolves in the wastelands raised their heads to let out long howls This was a signal, a signal to launch the full attack!

The swaran to accelerate, as though physical inhibitors inside their bodies had suddenly been unlocked or as though they were a group of chained beasts who had suddenly slipped out of their shackles The ferocious black wave of wolves began to launch a true assault on the outpost

The area around the outpost was littered with boulders and ruined tires which were stacked together to form a rampart In the wastelands, a defensive peri An attack from a few dozen rotwolves would be co to this outpost, but the probleht hundred rotwolves and an unknown nu around them!

The outpost defenses were breached in multiple areas alaps The entire world seehter, screams, and frenzied wolf-howls

In order to avoid the giant bats, Cloudhaas forced to scurry forwards in a crawling position He could already hear the sounds co from outside the ramparts in front of him, as a number of rotwolves leapt upon the bodies of their peers to try and clamber up Soon, they would be able to make it inside To just lay here would result in certain death!

Cloudhawk rose to his feet, wanting to flee backwards… but he didn’t even ilely leapt past the rareen eyes swept across thelittle white hairs that were tres, then let out lols from their throats

Only now did the rest of the terrified soldiers rise to their feet and begin to flee But it was too late! The rotwolves leapt into the air, pouncing forwards and knocking down quite a few people Their sharp claere five centih as steel nails; each swipe of their claas enough to tear a man open from chest to spleen

“DIE!” A particularly valiant guard lifted up his iron warhammer, them smashed it doards towards the rotwolf’s head This bloas heavy enough to leave a large crater in any boulder, and even the rotwolf hunched over from the force of this bloever, what no one would’ve expected was that its brain matter didn’t splatter out Clearly, this creature’s skull bone was even tougher than stone! The vicious rotwolf retaliated with a swipe of its claws, and half of the guard’s face disappeared

The guard didn’t even have ti hi out his vocal cords and his carotid artery at the same tiuard’s body twitched a few tiain

The rotas in no rush to feet It raised its gore-covered snout, then turned its ghostly, oily-green gaze towards the others It was already in search for its next target Its flickering gaze was filled ild savagery, and it coulars

These beasts were clearly quite different froery, and cleverness, they surpassed the beasts of the Old Times many times over

Just as everyone was about to retreat, a single person charged forwards Captain Lain drew out his longsword as he raced forwards He delivered a vicious kick to the rotwolf’s side and knock the heavy beast flying into the air, then chopped his longsword down against thethe wound, Captain Lain then leapt onto the rotwolf’s corpse, used it to launch hiher into the air, then stabbed doards as his sword flashed with cold light The stab just so happened to pierce all the way into a second rotwolf’s eye socket!

“AWOOOO!” The final rotwolf howled furiously as it charged towards Captain Lain Captain Lain relinquished his stuck longsword, as there wasn’t enough ti it free He suddenly fell to his knees and bent all the way backwards, just barely dodging the rotwolf’s flying pounce

Riiiiip! A sharp knife suddenly flew out frouard The knife easily cut into the rotwolf’s soft underbelly Thein an enore of blood and foul-s Captain Lain in gore

Only now did the others cal just a little bit He stepped onto the second rotwolf’s head, then forcibly tugged out his longsword His entire body was covered with that reeking blood, and he looked like a soldier who had just escaped from the depths of hell He bellowed hoarsely with his dale step back dies!”

The captain had just slain three rotwolves as easily as chopping through vegetables His dazzling display of skill and valor then their morale, which had truly been at the brink of collapse just now

However, an to fly over the walls and press the attack, and every so often the giant bats circling above their heads would swoop down to rip off an ear or tear out an eyeball, or perhaps just rip an entire face off This battle was an extre Outpost Even Captain Lain ended up receiving a claw-strike as he dispatched one rotwolf after another If it hadn’t been for his layers of armor, he would’ve been disemboweled by that attack

Souards tried to use their bows to shoot down those infuriating giant bats, but they siht to ets The bats themselves were pitch-black in color and moved incredibly fast Not even the finest sharpshooters were able to shoot down more than just a few of them

The outpost’s casualties were growing heavier and heavier These orous than Cloudhawk had i or as skilled as Captain Lain Ten or so people were so pikes to stab bloody wounds into a rotwolf, but the berserk rotould still be able to tear half of the

“You are not permitted to retreat!”
