Chapter 15

By a stream in the forest, a gargoyle wolf rider was fetching water.

Around him, there were four companions on alert.

Those who were experienced in the wilderness knew the importance of water, but because it was so important, it became a natural trap.

A wolf rider finished fetching water and signaled to his companions to rotate.

At this moment, he suddenly smelled a hint of unease and immediately drew the scimitar at his waist.

The other four wolf cavalry soldiers were shocked by their companions’ actions and instantly began to look around nervously.

However, nothing happened.

The forest was silent, with only the rustling sound of a gentle breeze blowing through the treetops.

The wolf cavalry soldiers did not let down their guard. Instead, they became even more nervous.

It was too quiet!

“Whoosh!”

“Whoosh!”

“Whoosh!”

The whistling sound of arrows suddenly broke the suffocating silence.

Following that, there were two miserable screams.

The remaining three trolls did not have the time to check if the two companions who were shot were alive or dead. They quickly turned over and climbed onto their dire wolves, turning around and running away.

“Chase!”

Knight Bliss shouted loudly and took the lead to rush out.

Behind him, hundreds of human cavalrymen galloped out.

The peaceful morning was completely broken, and the bloody prelude to slaughter sounded again.

The dire wolves were generally better than warhorses at short-distance sprinting, but when it came to long-distance sprinting, their endurance was relatively poor.

Therefore, after the three troll wolf cavalrymen charged out a distance, they were losing ground incredibly quickly.

Moreover, after closing the distance, the human arrows struck again.

Not long after, two more wolf cavalrymen were killed by the arrows.

When the last remaining wolf cavalryman saw this, he stabbed the dire wolf’s buttocks.

“Awooo!”

Under the pain, the dire wolf instantly increased its speed and pulled some distance away from the pursuers behind it.

However, the acceleration buff from self-injury did not last long.

The dire wolf finally bled out too much and gradually lost its stamina. Inevitably, the human cavalry caught up with it and shot it with an arrow, causing it to roll on the ground.

The troll rolled a few times on the ground and then climbed up in a sorry state. It actually wanted to continue running forward.

“Chi!”

Bliss patted his horse and caught up, cutting off the troll’s head with a single slash.

Before he could catch his breath, the forest in front of him started to move, and more troll wolf cavalry jumped out!

They were still one step too slow!

Bliss sighed to himself. He knew that he wasn’t fast enough to deal with this batch of trolls, which attracted even more enemies.

“Formation!”

After taking a look at the distance of the opposing wolf cavalry, Bliss knew that he couldn’t avoid this battle, so he ordered loudly.

“Advance!”

The human cavalry that had just attacked for a while took a short breath, and under Bliss’s order, they pulled down their masks again, ready to face the enemy.

“Speed up!”

Fortunately, the wolf cavalry that attacked did not have too many people, so they could fight.

“Charge!”

As the distance closed, both sides began sprinting at the same time.

They did not retreat, did not dodge, and did not show mercy.

The brave would win when they collided on this narrow path!

“Kill!”

“Kill!”

“Ah!”

“Bang!”

Amidst the loud collision sounds, blood and broken bones splattered everywhere.

It was bloody, barbaric, and tragic.

Life became the sacrifice, and blood was the embellishment.

The quiet forest instantly turned into a terrifying altar.

After a fierce battle, the humans still gained the upper hand in the end.

This group of knights from the Saint Hilde family was indeed elite.

Moreover, Colin’s guess was right. The trolls didn’t deploy any heavy troops in the direction of the north.

Obviously, the other party didn’t expect that this group of human deserters would dare to return to the main battlefield.

“Chase!”

Seeing that the remaining trolls wanted to escape, Bliss immediately gave the order to chase.

He could not let these guys escape, or else he would definitely attract more pursuers.

At this moment, a ball of blue light suddenly bloomed in the forest.

The direction in which the trolls retreated seemed to have suddenly changed seasons. A layer of frost covered the ground and treetops at a speed invisible to the naked eye. Then, it instantly enveloped the dire wolves, making it difficult for them to move.

“It’s magic!”

The leader of the wolf cavalry let out a miserable cry, and despair appeared in his eyes.

Yes, the female mage who was hiding at the back had finally completed her chant. A tier 3 spell, Frost Nova, was cast at the perfect time, slowing down the speed of the wolf cavalry’s escape.

“Kill them all!”

Bliss took the opportunity to charge forward with his army, easily beheading the idle trolls one by one, as if someone had frozen them in place.

Colin rushed to the front of the leader of the wolf cavalry and chopped off the other party’s right hand that was holding the weapon. However, he did not kill him.

“I’ll try and see if I can get any information out of him.” Colin dragged the half-dead leader of the wolf cavalry and shouted at Bliss.

“Alright, but you’d better hurry up. We can’t stay here for long.” Bliss nodded and then ordered his subordinates loudly, “Hurry up, hurry up! I’ll give you ten minutes to clean up the battlefield!”

“Yes!”

“Young Master Colin, do you need help?” Knight Raymond came over.

“No need, I can do it myself.” Colin rejected Raymond’s good intentions. He dragged the leader of the wolf cavalry behind a big tree alone and asked, “Tell me, are there any other troll armies nearby?”

“Bah!”

The leader of the wolf cavalry spat out a mouthful of bloody spit and rebuked angrily, “I won’t tell you even if I die!”

Colin tilted his head and nimbly dodged the saliva. Then, he pulled out his dagger and cleanly cut the other party’s throat. “Alright, then you can go to hell.”

“Huh.” the leader of the wolf cavalry widened his eyes, as if in shock!

After the other party had completely stopped breathing, Colin raised his head and looked around. Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he quietly took out his water bag.

“Gulp… gulp…”

That’s right, Colin’s real goal wasn’t to interrogate him.

In the previous battle, he had noticed that the leader of the wolf cavalry was a warrior.

Similar to human knights, warriors were a unique profession of the trolls. They served the God of War, and thus had the potential to advance beyond tier 6.

After discovering that the blood of warriors didn’t have any special effects, Colin felt that he should try to see if the blood of trolls could help him increase his strength, just like human knights.

Moreover, this wolf cavalry leader’s strength should be between tier 2 and 3, which was higher than Colin’s current level.

Therefore, if the warrior’s blood really had an effect, he should know about it very soon.

Ten minutes passed in a flash. Colin hid the water sacks that were filled to the brim and returned to the team.

The battlefield had been cleaned up. All the trolls and their mounts had been killed, and their corpses were casually laid out in the forest.

Meanwhile, the human casualties had been hastily buried.

After this battle, there were less than a hundred people left on this team.

Colin roughly counted, and there were only seventy to eighty people left.

With a sigh, Colin got on his horse and prepared to set off.

At this moment, Bliss led the female mage’s warhorse to Colin’s side.

“Knight Colin.”

“Madam, what can I do for you?”

The female mage lowered her head slightly as if she was avoiding Colin’s gaze. There was a hint of shyness in her words:

“May I… ride on the same horse as you?”
