Chapter 23 Melee at the Manor
The battle at the gate of the manor has now reached a fever pitch.
Although the jackals and kobolds were ferocious, with the addition of the rejuvenation potion, the knights and militiamen were tireless, and even the pain was much reduced.
Behind them are their families and food. Even if the lord dies in battle, their families will not be treated badly, and they will even be honored.
This gave them great courage.
On weekdays, they trained hard every day. Although the scene was very dangerous at this time, they did not rush. Instead, they formed a team of three people to fight against a jackal.
Whenever the gnolls attacked, the other two would attack from the side to attract the gnolls' attention. This is a small group tactic given to them by the lord.
The gnoll gang launched three attacks, each time being stubbornly resisted by the militiamen.
The kobolds are more flexible. They do not fight with the militiamen and will rush into the manor whenever there is a chance.
A few rushed into the square of the manor, but George and Barron organized a group of strong women to tenaciously hold on to the last line of defense.
These kobolds had no will to fight, and immediately retreated when they encountered a slight setback.
As the battle progressed, the Gnolls began to grow increasingly restless.
Under normal circumstances, as soon as they rush into a human manor, they will be scared to death, and even if there are some fighting organizations, they will be quickly broken up. Only the owner of the manor was desperate, and the serfs had no fighting spirit.
Judging from their fighting abilities, these humans in front of them are not powerful at all, but they are surprisingly tenacious.
A gnoll wanted to intimidate them and used all his strength to tear off the thigh of a militiaman alive, causing blood to flow all over the floor. He originally thought that these people would be scared away, but he didn't expect that they would rush forward, howling like chicken blood.
The original threat had the opposite effect, and the jackal was hacked to death because he lost his strength.
This group of gnolls already had regrets in their hearts. They were just passing by this manor, thinking that today was the last day of the year, so they planned to rob and celebrate, but they did not expect that there would be so many casualties.
Now we can only hope that the leader will quickly deal with the archers over there, and then come over and sweep across the area.
Vincent saw that the Jackal's attack slowed down and began to consciously retreat towards the door. He immediately shouted: "Brothers, work harder! Victory belongs to Sardin Manor!"
He held a big sword and was about to go to the door. A jackal greeted him, and suddenly he felt someone passing over his head.
He quickly stepped back and saw the knight captain Qiao Si falling from the wall and falling in front of him.
Vincent was immediately very surprised: "You six knights can't defeat two jackals?"
Qiao Si coughed up a mouthful of blood and said helplessly: "They are different colors."
Vincent curled his lips and stepped forward to kill Qiao Si. Si helped him up and said casually: "What's wrong with the different colors?"
As soon as he walked in front of Qiao Si, he suddenly noticed a red jackal chasing down the wall. He was holding a machete and was hiding with lightning speed. Er Zhizhi rushed in front of Qiao Si and slammed down on Qiao Si's head.
Qiao Si was thrown into a daze. He couldn't escape for a while. He felt miserable in his heart and closed his eyes to die.
Vincent didn't expect the red jackal to be so fast and powerful. It was indeed not on the same level as an ordinary jackal.
Seeing that Qiao Si was about to be dismembered, Vincent had no time to think and instinctively rushed forward, hugging the red jackal man from the waist and trying to throw him to the ground.
The red jackal was not knocked down, but he staggered and took two steps back involuntarily.
Qiao Si never expected that Vincent would save him at the critical moment. Their wives had fought before, and they were in a competitive relationship, so they had never been able to deal with each other.
"Vinson, don't get close to him!" Qiao Si shouted loudly, struggling to get up, trying to help this former competitor.
However, it was too late. The red jackal roared, cut off Vincent's left hand with a backhand knife, and threw him away.
Vincent fell to the ground, and the blood that burst out drew a long arc in the air.
The red jackal licked the blood from the knife edge, strode forward, and prepared to strike again.
At this moment, a long arrow suddenly shot through the air and hit the red jackal directly in the chest.
The Jackal's steps stopped and he looked at the arrow feathers on his chest in shock. He did not expect that in his bloodthirsty state, someone would use a bow and arrow to break through his hardened skin.
However, in his bloodthirsty state, he didn't feel any pain, so he pulled out the long arrow and looked forward.
I saw a young man standing in front of me holding a light blue sword.
It was Lomo who came to support.
"Here comes another one, kill, kill, kill!"
The red jackal's eyes were fierce, but he kept fighting forward. Fueled by bloodlust, his mind was close to madness.
Luo Mo had just killed the jackal leader, and he was already a little sexual at this time. This time, he did not choose to dodge, but rushed forward, ready to test his strength head-on.
With a bang, the Qingshuang sword and the machete collided.
Romo didn't move at all, but the red jackal only felt a strong attack, and even his arm was numb from the impact.
"Compared to the leader just now, you are still too weak."
Luo Mo held a sword flower in his right hand, rubbed his body and took advantage of the numbness of the red jackal's arm to draw the sword again.
One sword, two swords, each sword struck the red jackal man hard. This time he didn't use frost magic.
The jackal kept retreating, and a blood mist rose around his body.
After being slashed ten times, Luo Mo kicked him on the chest.
This sturdy jackal flew straight up like a kite with a broken string, and then fell heavily on the destroyed door.
"Brothers, the leader of the jackals is dead, it's time to fight back!" Luo Mo raised his sword above his head and shouted loudly.
"Kill!"
Seeing how brave the lord was, the remaining knights and militiamen roared loudly and attacked the gnoll.
The fighting spirit of the jackals was completely defeated, and they began to flee frantically out of the manor.
For a moment, the excited shouts of the militiamen and the desperate wails of the werewolves intertwined, resounding over the Saldin Manor.
An hour later, the manor became quiet again.
The surviving militiamen, led by knight instructor Nicholas, began to clean the battlefield and tally the results.
In this battle, several kobolds escaped, the gnolls were almost wiped out, and two injured gnolls were captured.
As a price, the militia suffered more than a dozen casualties, two of the eight knights were killed, the knight captain Jos was seriously injured, and the militia captain Vincent's left arm was cut off.
Everyone collected the corpses of the jackals, including the leader Blood Hammer, and dug out a lot of gold coins and jewelry. All were turned over to Barron, the steward.
In addition, there are also some special materials of ores and crystals.
Luo Mo was overjoyed when he saw these mineral crystals. These were actually the magic materials he had dreamed of.
He walked up to the two captured jackals and said, "Can you speak human language? If you can, I will spare your lives." One of the jackals quickly said: "
I can, I can, sir, please spare my life." . When I go back, I will spread your fame widely, so that all the jackals will not dare to provoke you again."
Luo Mo chopped down another jackal with a sword, and then pointed the sword at this jackal, He asked in a deep voice: "Tell me, where is your lair?"
