The black-pressed shadows leaped and leaped back and forth between the trees, like a giant ape, but in a moment they rushed in front of them, and a black shadow fell from the sky, swooped down high, and pounced on a soldier with a sword in his hand Although the cavalry had already drawn their weapons, they seemed to be a little illprepared for such a high enemy, and they were soon knocked down by three, one of them was already stabbed into the heart by a knife when he reached the ground, and the other two fought hard with their opponents.
The remaining dozen or so black shadows also instantly pounced into the crowd of imperial cavalry, Char felt a fishy breath rushing to his face, a huge shadow opened his arms and grabbed himself, Char didn't have time to dodge, he was thrown to the ground, the other party's hand twisted Char's neck frantically, Char snorted, grabbed the opponent's hand and squeezed it hard, clicked twice, the opponent's hand in the dark was broken, and then the two rolled on the spot, Char had already choked each other's throats, and his hands were forced case When he struggled to get up, Kevin next to him had already used a pyramid to smash a black shadow that was rushing towards him, Kevin had a short knife pierced in his shoulder, and the short knife stabbed into the gap in the shoulder guard, dripping with blood, thinking that he was injured when he was knocked down just now.
"What the hell is it" Watching a few black shadows retreat quickly, jumping up and about, a few jumps changed positions, obviously a burly figure, but as dexterous as a monkey.
Kevin gasped under his breath and roared loudly: "Come close, everyone, come together, this is Odin's Ice Hunter" In the first wave of pounces, the Byzantine scout cavalry had already laid down six people, only two were alive, and the other four had already died.
And the other party's "Ice Hunters" only died, except for the one whose neck was broken by Char, and the other one was smashed to death by Kevin's prism hammer and fell under the tree, with a large piece of his chest sunken, obviously his sternum was shattered.
In the darkness of the night, the sky in the woods was obscured by foliage, and the scouts did not light a fire for concealment.
However, Char, who was born with night eyes, still saw the appearance of these "ice hunters" clearly.
Each of these guys was dressed in black fur, tall, a head taller than the Byzantine scout cavalry around them, with long hands drooping, really like apes, and the tall bodies were covered with black fur in the dark, like a big bear, and it was really difficult to see their appearance in the dark.
The most bizarre thing is that these guys are obviously bloated, but they are so agile when they run and jump, and they don't even make any movement when they jump between the trees or jump on the ground After all, it was the elite 13th Cavalry Corps, the scouts gathered together quickly, everyone quickly formed a circle back to back, Char and Kevin were close together, next to the scout captain, the scout captain had blood on his face, he was also knocked down just now, his forehead was broken on the ground, holding the sword in one hand, and covering his left rib with the other, where the leather armor was cut, and a deep wound was bubbling blood.
"It's these, the sworn enemies of our Byzantine scouts" The captain gasped in a low voice, words burst out of his mouth, his eyes stared at the hunters in the dark, those guys retreated with a blow, but not far away, more than a dozen figures quickly moved back and forth on the big tree, jumping, as if looking for an opportunity to attack.
Kevin pulled out the short knife on his shoulder hard, frowned in pain, and gritted his teeth: "Char, be careful, these guys are Odin's scouts, they live in Odin's northern ice field area, and they run and survive on smooth ice fields and steep snow-capped mountain cliffs all year round, and they are the most agile."
No wonder one by one they are like apes.
Char squinted into the distance, both sides were patiently confronting each other, and the ice hunters kept changing positions Finally, with a whistle, a black shadow took the lead in pounced, and more than a dozen shadows behind jumped down from all directions, and the cavalry raised their swords to resist, but those guys were extremely fierce, often a cavalryman's sword obviously hit the other party, but the other party didn't care, and he stabbed into the vital point of the cavalry with a short knife After a few screams of pain, the circle of defense has been broken, Char kicked a guy who pounced on him, his strength was great, this kick out, that person was still in the air and sprayed blood, the turtle had already pulled out the fire fork with his backhand, he saw that against these guys who were agile, it was not easy to use a huge cross-edged double-edged sword, but it would affect his agility.
Then Char rushed up He jumped hard, just like these ice hunters, fluttering up several meters, in mid-air, he met a guy, Char opened his arms and hugged each other like an octopus, the guy's short knife had been pierced in Char's chest, but this guy miscalculated the strength of the turtle's body now, but it was not a short knife that could pierce Char's arms tightened, and with a few sounds, he crushed the opponent's bones The barbarian's strange power is really extraordinary, Char hugged this guy who had vomited blood and fell on the tree, Dropping the corpse, while taking the short knife from the other party's hand, looking at a shadow rushing next to him in the dark, Char threw the short knife hard, and the guy immediately covered his throat with both hands, Gege screamed a few times, and fell backwards.
Char seemed to have transformed into an ice hunter, his movements, the speed of his jumping, and his sharpness were even far above the other party, and if the other party was an ape, then he was simply a tanuki Killing three in one go, he quickly aimed at the next target This is the tallest guy, the guy has already cut the neck of a scout cavalry with a short knife, his face is covered with blood, and when he rolls up from the ground, Char has already pounced on him, bringing the opponent's body back down.
The two twisted on the ground, and Char immediately felt that the other party's strength was not small, much stronger than the several ice hunters he had dealt with before, and he tried to break the other party's neck, but this guy actually struggled to break his own hand.
Char didn't do it, Uncle wants to kill you, and he dares to resist The two rolled on the ground, Char made a little space, bent his knees up fiercely, and pressed heavily against the base of the other party's thighs, the guy was in pain, his body was twisted, Char took the opportunity to let go of his arm, and an elbow hit each other's hearts.
With a few clicks, the sternum burst, Char jumped up quickly, jumped up the tree like a tanuki, and saw that Kevin was smashing an opponent, but another ice hunter pounced on Kevin's back from behind The guy wrapped his legs around Kevin's waist, this stunned young man struggled a few times but was unable to shake off, and the ice hunter on his back had already stabbed Kevin's neck with a short knife Char didn't hesitate, the fire fork in his hand was thrown like lightning, Kevin had already felt the cool air on his neck, and his heart was desperate, and suddenly he heard a pounce, blood spilled on his ears, and the guy who went north fell down as soon as his body stiffened.
Turning around, the other party's head was directly pierced by a fire fork Char jumped down and pulled out the fire fork, Kevin gasped and whispered, "I owe you my life" Char grinned At this moment, only four of the Byzantine scouts were still alive, and the ice hunters finally whistled, jumped out of the battle circle, and jumped quickly to the trees, and a few shadows no longer fell in love with the battle, and hurriedly jumped away from the darkness Fourteen scout cavalry were killed in the attack, and the death toll of the Ice Hunters was ten.
Char and Kevin killed six of them.
It is conceivable that if there were no Kevin and Char, then the fate of this scout cavalry would probably be annihilation For the first time in his heart, Char had a deep impression of the strength of the Odin.
The enemy was far away, Kevin immediately sat on the ground, several or the scouts were unsteady on their feet, the captain was still alive, he reached out to hold the tree, and the blood from the wound under his ribs had stained half of his body.
Kevin looked at Char's expression differently, pulled him, and said in a low voice: "The Odin people are originally ferocious, these ice hunters are natural scouts among the Odin, although they are enemies, but I have to say that in terms of individual combat effectiveness, they are stronger than us Byzantines." ” After a pause, Kevin added, "But the general said that these guys are gathered together, but they are a rabble, and we can always defeat them." ” After a moment's fighting, the fourteen companions who had eaten and slept together for several days were reduced to cold corpses.
For these cavalrymen, they didn't seem to show too much sadness, they just silently cleaned up the battlefield, moved the corpses of their companions together, and at the same time carefully examined those who were not dead and did not hesitate to mend their swords.
The process was silent, and no one said a word For these people, it seems that they have become accustomed to this kind of parting of life and death on the battlefield, and there is no grief on everyone's face, but only the grief turns into hatred, which flashes in their eyes The wounded captain stood in front of the corpse and watched for a moment the first soldier to be shot through the neck by an arrow during the attack, and when he fell from the tree, the water bag and neck were pinned together by a sharp arrow, and the water in the water bag was already running out and mixed with blood The captain looked at the young soldier silently, and for a moment, there was a deathly silence in his eyes Then he turned his head with all his might, and his voice was hoarse: "There is no time to delay the discovery of the enemy, we must immediately bring the news back, everyone get on their horses and set off immediately" The captain took the lead and quickly climbed onto his horse, and the rest of the cavalry followed him, quickly leaving the killing woods.
It wasn't until he ran more than ten miles that Kevin whispered to Char "The dead soldier is the captain's son."
Char was stunned.
This dead young cavalryman, these days, did not leave a deep impression on Char, I only remember that he had a simple face, resolute eyes, and only occasionally when he laughed, he would show a little shyness And these days, when facing the captain, he also shouted "captain" with everyone, and never called his father.
He didn't get the slightest preferential treatment from the captain, and he was on reconnaissance and vigil, as if the hardest things were left to him In just a moment, a father sent his son away.
In just a moment, life and death were so cruelly separated from family affection This was the first battle Char had experienced in his military experience, and the captain's death-like eyes when he looked at his dead son were deeply engraved in Char's heart like a knife.
For the young hunter, he was suddenly reminded of one thing by the small but tragic battle that took place before him: War is not hunting in the mountains and forests War is not an adventure on the wildfire field War, is war:
