Chapter 170 Hunger
Several members of the Dragon Claw Guard stood up from the bonfire, moving their bodies while moving them, while the overwhelmed refugees stood up one by one - but their movements were still too big and too obvious.
A few slight "bang bang" sounds in the night sky, followed by the sound of flying objects quickly cutting through the air. An experienced dragon claw warrior immediately reacted and shouted loudly: "Bound arrow! Enemy attack!!"
Holding an iron shield in hand was blocked in front of him at the first time. Every member of the Dragon Claw Guard quickly raised the shield. A few inconspicuous silver lights fell on the iron shield in his hand, making a jingle sound. Some arrows even broke through the not-too-thick iron sheet and sank into the wooden board inside.
The next second, the light of the fireball ray shone between the ruins, and a hot fireball hit the iron shield of a dragon's claw guard.
The explosion of the fireball illuminated the surroundings, and the villagers around Amy ran away in panic in fear. The panic shouts sounded, and the situation instantly became chaotic. At the scene where the sudden chaos occurred, Amy's loud shouts rang out: "All refugees enter the cellar! Others look for cover to meet the enemy!"
The figures of the attackers emerged from hidden places one by one. They kept shooting the Dragon Claw Guards that supported the iron shield with crossbow arrows and the unarmed panic refugees. Because aiming in the dark was difficult, many crossbow arrows lost their accuracy. Then they pulled out all kinds of weapons and rushed out from all directions while shouting.
With the flash of the fireball explosion before, Amy and the old werewolf instantly saw the appearance of the attackers - they were a group of desperate people who looked as embarrassed as refugees, but were actually wearing armor and weapons. Some of them even wore knights' shirts and spellcasters' short robes. Their faces were muddy, their clothes were torn, and their bloodshot eyes were red. They rushed out and shouted like crazy. No one would have thought that they were once the glorious nobles of the Thorn Kingdom and their appearance was high above them.
They were hiding very well after the pursuit soldiers. However, after the defeat, the group of people broke away from the large army in the pursuit battle and disappeared in a very hidden woods. In the occupied area, they have now become time bombs that may break out at any time.
Amy even saw two ornate thorn patterns among the yelling outlaws, holding long swords in the hands of the Thorn Kingdom, and a spellcaster wearing a ragged mage robe!
When Amy was dispatched, he also experienced this kind of response training. He hid under the rock on the side without hesitation, then pulled out the sword of the Thorn Kingdom that had been seized from him not long ago, and immediately followed the werewolves warriors from the Dragon Claw Guard to meet the bandits who fell into the robbers.
At the same time, the information I heard from other occupied areas along the way in recent times also emerged in his mind.
After the defeat of the Thorn Kingdom Legion, the high-level nobles and spellcasters of the legion mixed with the defeated soldiers also fled with the defeated soldiers. Many of them became prisoners of the dragon in the cruel pursuit, while the remaining people separated from the large troops during the escape and were lucky to escape from the pursuit. Some of them fled along the path in the wilderness to the east forest area, hiding in the jungle full of wild animals, trembling - because they had just occupied a large area of territory but had no time to find trouble for those fish that had missed the net, and the defeated soldiers who had hidden were not very capable of surviving in the wilderness, so they could only look at the lonely civilians in the occupied area again, and they became robbers who fell into the grass.
The strongest warriors under Renault's command, almost all of them were concentrated near the White Moon Fortress because they wanted to attack the White Moon Fortress. In addition to separating most of the warriors with the second-sequence of Dragon Claws, they were only able to escort most of the management personnel.
The remaining Dragon Claw Warriors can call only less than 500 directly. Five hundred Dragon Claw Warriors still need to move in the entire occupied area and hunt down the escaped soldiers everywhere, which makes the population look short of people.
However, the news that "the dragon will occupy the entire occupied area" has spread throughout the occupied area. In addition, the only passage across the Grand Duchy of Steel, the Baiyue Fortress was surrounded by heavy soldiers of the dragon's claws, so these defeated soldiers who were wandering in the wilderness did not dare to go to Baiyue Fortress - the serf soldiers or civilians among them were fine. After all, they were originally civilians. As long as they threw their weapons and changed into ragged clothes, they could directly mingle among the refugees in these farmhouses without any psychological pressure.
But those legion soldiers who practiced fighting spirit, especially the nobles with status and status... they are still active in the wilderness and... hungry.
The chaotic battle unfolds in the mane root that has been looted.
Not long ago, the attackers regarded themselves as the sovereign state of the Iron Principality, the nobles of the highest rank, the civilized nobles of the highest rank, and the warriors who maintained the territorial order of the vassal state, but now they are just a group of hungry and crazy robbers.
Hunger, it can make people weak and bring death, but before it fully exerts its power, it can also make people go in another direction: crazy and cruel.
Amy didn't know how many people were attacking. He only felt every ruin around him, every collapsed wall outside the castle, and even the grass and earth slopes farther away were enemies behind them. The screams of frenzy and even ecstatic came from all directions, and there was no sound of humanity in the shouts.
He waved the thorn kingdom standard sword in his hand. He was not a skilled swordsman, and even his strength after wielding the sword was not much stronger than a civilian holding a pitchfork, but he was always surrounded by a powerful and powerful dragon claw guard.
Each time these zombie guards swung their swords, they were enough to drive the hungry and crazy enemies far enough. In the swing of the swords, Amy clearly saw the ugly appearance of the attackers.
