ebookland Chapter 392 Bloodfang Werewolf
Chapter 392 Bloodfang Werewolf
Even without Lorraine's belated reminder, the Blood Elf squad was already prepared for battle.
Captain Terra had a vague premonition that something was amiss, but the giant dragonhawk rider flying overhead reported that the ground was safe. Trusting her sentinel comrade, she relaxed slightly.
Passing through the ruined town, the ordinary zombies and ghosts were all transformed from mortals and had little fighting ability.
Terra was confident in their team's strength; they had faced many challenges... This situation was not unexpected. High school reconnaissance cannot be completely thorough, and oversights are inevitable.
The team was unknowingly surrounded by an unknown enemy. As the leader, the first thing to do is to know who the enemy is.
Location, number, combat strength...
Being anxious will only hasten your death.
......
Terra judged that the surrounding wooden houses and wall ruins blocked the view from the sky. Under the cover of night, she was cautious, but still accidentally walked into the enemy's encirclement... This shows that the other side is particularly good at hiding!
Its red eyes make it look like a wild beast.
Wild animals are adept at hiding and surprise attacks are common hunting tactics.
Blood elves do not have night vision like night elves. They are accustomed to walking during the day and are naturally inclined to arcane and magical powers, which has led to a significant decline in their perception.
Terra wanted to get a better look at the enemy, so she made a hand gesture... The ranger archer in the middle of the group immediately understood her intention, and a cold light magic flare arrow immediately rose into the air... The sharp sound of it cutting through the air wasn't too loud, just enough to illuminate a thirty-yard range around the squad.
Lorraine looked up in surprise. Could this be the flare her teacher had mentioned, the kind hunters often used?! After the smoke from the silent, cold-light magic arrow dissipated, the surrounding enemies were immediately exposed in the cool light...
The outline in the shadows is clearly visible.
A wolf's head and a human body, with sharp teeth and claws!
More than thirty werewolves, about the same height as ordinary humans, with hunched backs, lay in ambush all around.
No matter where they were, their blood-red eyes were fixed on Lorraine... Lorraine had a feeling that these werewolves were coming for her?
......
A werewolf, noticeably taller and with a tuft of mixed-colored hair on its forehead, stood on the second floor of the collapsed house. It turned its head to the side, seemingly sniffing the blood in the air.
It also seems like they're using their sense of smell to identify Lorraine and the others...
All around were the stench of burnt charcoal and corpses... Lorraine wondered if it would choke its nose...
But the other side spoke; the scruffy werewolf opened its mouth and let out a long howl to the sky...
The other werewolves below followed suit, baring their teeth and howling in unison.
It's like a signal.
Suddenly, a werewolf peeked out from the corner closest to Lorraine, pulled out an old-fashioned musket inlaid with silver wire, and aimed it at Lorraine. The fuse ignited rapidly, the bolt snapped, and the dwarf's cannon roared dramatically.
A large lead bullet came straight at the stunned Lorraine's face...
"Holy crap, werewolves use guns!"
Lorraine instinctively used Blink to dodge the sudden attack of a heavy gunpowder bullet—an instinct honed through countless brushes with death. Turning around sharply, Lorraine saw that the brickwork of the wall where he had been standing had been blasted down by tremendous force.
Debris was scattered everywhere...
I was still shaken. If I had reacted any slower, I probably would have been crippled or killed!
......
"Protect the plague messenger!"
Suddenly attacked, Captain Terra has confirmed the enemy's location and approximate number...
The enemy appears to be a werewolf... a monster that is not common elsewhere but is rampant near Silverpine Forest.
However, she hadn't realized that werewolves could use weapons for sneak attacks until they made a move; these werewolves seemed different from those she'd seen before. Without time for further thought or analysis, the captain had to react.
She moved faster than Lorraine, who only saw one werewolf attacking him. Little did he know, there was more than one werewolf responsible for firing from a distance.
Having just escaped one disaster, three more muskets immediately emerged from the shadows behind him. With three loud "Bang! Bang! Bang!" sounds, Lorraine felt a wave of heat wash over him.
A sense of foreboding washed over me...
Three sniper shots struck Lorraine in the back, and he felt a dark figure pounce on him. His face slammed into the rubble, and before he could even complain, Terra had already grabbed him by the neck and carried him away like a duck being twisted.
He felt himself enveloped in a purple light, unable to move.
It's that familiar magic again...
Anti-gravity magic?
Void spell?
Living Imprisonment... The Great Shift of Heaven and Earth... This move was once named by the teacher for the mysterious Sunreaver Temple battle mage girl. The teacher thought Terra was a blood elf girl, but in fact she was already quite old and had been through countless battles.
Blood elves once lived to be three thousand years old... Captain Terra, who practices arcane magic and void magic, remains eternally youthful; as long as her magic power doesn't run out, she will forever appear as a human of eighteen...
Gunfire erupted in waves...
Lorraine felt himself moving rapidly through a hail of bullets, even seeing old-fashioned dwarven solid bullets whizzing past him as Terra moved him as far as he could. He was trapped inside the purple monkey ball, bouncing around at will...
A feeling of suffocation that no man could bear washed over me...
"Put me down, I can fight!"
Lorraine screamed, but Captain Terra ignored her; it seemed there were many werewolf gunmen lying in ambush nearby... She held Lorraine in one hand and used the other to move the surrounding rocks into the air, shielding them from the hail of bullets...
As a mage who looks like a beautiful young girl, Terra does indeed run around like a ranger.
As expected, the high elves all received basic training in rangers, archery, and magical combat... their final class changes were simply choosing the area they were best at. The battle mages of the Sunreavers' Temple are not simply warriors wielding magic staffs.
They also use daggers and longswords...
......
"These werewolves are suspicious! They're an army! Watch out for heavy weapons!"
No sooner had she spoken than Terra heard an explosion. Turning around, she saw one of her teammates lying unconscious on the ground, seemingly a priest... Another blood knight raised his shield and quickly stood in front of him, while the ranger and spellbreaker rushed to his aid.
The squad was forced to cut off in the middle, and several of his men had to retreat under enemy attack.
Besides having firearms that far outnumbered the enemy, the werewolves also ambushed the blood elf squad from all sides, pouncing from behind and attacking with their claws... In close combat, neither the elven rangers nor the blood knights gained the upper hand; the enemy's strength was immense, and arrows seemed ineffective.
Upon closer inspection, these werewolves were actually equipped with armor...
To make matters worse, their numbers were increasing, constantly surging forth; the thirty were just the enemies that had been closest to them a moment ago... Left with no other choice, Terra shouted from afar, "Split up!"
She protected Lorraine as they escaped alone.
Magic Shield, Floating Stone Needles, Illusionary Clone, Arcane Blast...
The werewolves that lunged at them were repeatedly knocked back... Even so, the number of attacking werewolves continued to increase, constantly emerging from the shadows. Seeing the critical situation, Lorraine pounded the surface of the magic orb: "Take down the leader!"
She didn't know who he was giving the orders to... Terra didn't have time to pay attention to him... She leaped over the nearest low wall and had no choice but to hide in the dilapidated mayor's courtyard.
洛林呢？
Lorraine's voice came from the ground in the distance...
Lorraine was enveloped in a purple magic sphere, thrown into the wall like a basketball. He involuntarily spun and tumbled inside the sphere, feeling dizzy and seeing stars...
"I know the way! Will you listen to me?"
Lorraine and the others were located at the intersection of the first line of defense outside the former town hall. He was indeed very familiar with the surroundings. When his teacher disguised himself as a bard, the thing the two of them did most was to memorize the surrounding terrain and routes.
"Stop talking nonsense, the Bloodfang Worgen are the Gilneans' trump card! I know what to do!"
