Othua's War Banner

Chapter 388: 0387

The attack came quickly, scarlet covered the winter house, and the enemies were densely packed.

Ken struggled to discern the direction of the monster's attack in the snowstorm.

Sentinels and followers gathered about him shouting that something was approaching, seeking the breath of the living, and baring its fangs from curse-soaked graves.

There was a faint sound of fighting in the snow.

Ken knew something from the storm had reached the village.

The violent atmosphere around him became more and more intense, his scarlet eyes throbbed like pulses in the black smoke, and the corpses approached the Knives and Axes inch by inch.

[Hostile: Undead Tide (Small)]

【Quantity: 21】

[Composition: Undead Badger, Corpse Burst Bear, Undead Skeleton, Hunting Orion, Hunting Bandit. 】

Ken's mind is full of Selena's instructions to him.

The wave of undead is coming, the wave of undead is coming.

The monster appeared within the range of the flickering fire, and both sides could see each other.

The enemy is holding a weapon. Except for the eyes, it is all skeletons covered with carrion and clothes. The identity of the opponent can only be judged from the only features... such as the ornaments pierced into the nose bone, or the fragments hanging on the armor.

What Ken had in front of him was only a small part.

The strongest monster is a particularly strong [Corpse Burst Bear].

Its fur is still intact, and the festering wound reveals the black muscles inside. Every time it breathes, it emits a black mist, with dense fangs, and sticky saliva patters on the snow.

[The state of hunting and falling is affecting your team. When fighting, you should pay attention to transfer, rest, and timely treatment. 】

"Well, it's not as bad as I thought."

[You can lead the team to attack, or sit in command. 】

Ken's gaze fixed on the Necromancer skeletons, and then he summoned the knife and ax team to point out the direction of attack, but he didn't mean to lead the team to attack.

The force needs to grow.

The members of the knife and ax team are very brave.

The combat experience of these people is several times stronger than that of the refugees. Whether it is the ability to execute orders or combat power, the refugees cannot compare. The most important thing is... the knife and ax team has the courage and blood to face monsters.

Part of their muscles were exposed to the cold wind, and they carried heavy and rough weapons, viciously chopping on the head of the undead.

There is a crisp sound when the skeleton's body breaks.

Lowndes took it as a song to move forward, the giant ax cut harder and harder, and the small monsters would be smashed into slag by the steel whirlwind he swung.

He rushed towards the center of the tide of undead.

[Hunting state: 1%]

Ken didn't stop the giant.

Lanz's [Qi and Blood] seemed to be able to counteract the state of hunting and corruption. For him, it was even a stimulant in disguise.

The strong Corpse Explosion Bear stood in front of him.

It was just beginning to decay, and the thick fur made strange grinding noises.

Ken felt that something was coming out of his body, and sure enough, there were a few thick…things that looked like human limbs extending from the corpse of the beast.

"Yuck~"

The nearby humans smelled a fermented corpse.

The monster's belly was suddenly exposed to the wind and snow.

There are no internal organs inside, only billowing black smoke, and two old swords.

[The corpse-exploding bear mutates into a bear spirit priest. 】

[Description: It used to have the mind and body of a human being, but it was eroded to pieces by the curse. 】

It let out a roar that was neither human nor bear, then stood up with two thick hooves, cut open the skin, took out the weapon from the ribs, and charged towards Lanz majesticly along with the erratic mist.

The giant waved his two-handed axe and greeted him with wild laughter.

He knew that he had met an opponent who could fight heartily.

The Knives and Axes still didn't follow his footsteps, so they could only let Langz disappear into the snow.

As the former leader, Valery felt ashamed.

He turned over and stepped on the back of the stag, leading the team to launch a fierce counterattack. Relying on the superiority in numbers, he was able to activate the buffs for the spiritualists and chanters, and instantly dominated the battlefield.

Ken watched quietly.

The sharp hooks and blades tore through the armor, and the monster roars of the corpses yelled at the humans.

Ken only needs to pay attention to those soldiers who are in a bad hunting state, call them back in time, and then use experience points to treat them.

He is no longer the lone traveler who needed to venture out for food.

He has troops, powerful magic, and deadly weapons, so dealing with this midnight sneak attack is like adding a little dessert to your dinner.

Bloody battles eventually turned into training.

The footsteps of the knife and ax team trampled the snow into black.

Most of those swaying [Humanoid Hunters] were mountain people who died suddenly. The curse increased their speed and strength, and their consciousness was taken away and made them fearless.
This is quite a challenge for the knife and ax team.

Ken kept withdrawing the team, allowing them to adapt to coordination and switching. "You will have many opportunities to fight side by side in the future."

He is the central conductor, not intimidated by raids and waves, mastering lineup matching and attack rhythm, and even able to keep monsters in a relatively fixed position waiting to be killed.

[The "Axemen" in the team are advanced to "Northern Warriors". 】

Ken stared at Valery, watching him gallop on a stag, expressing his appreciation with his eyes.

Sure enough, hard work and down-to-earth are never wrong.

What he learned under Ken's command is the capital to be able to survive on the battlefield or in the wasteland in the future.

As the tide gradually subsided, the sound of fierce fighting also began to subside.

Lanz roared like thunder.

The ground under everyone's feet was shaken, followed by a loud crash of heavy objects collapsing.

Holding the monster's head, the giant broke out of the encirclement without any scruples. After walking a few steps, he tied something to his waist and hips, then turned around and carried a giant axe, and returned to the encirclement full of fun.

He really enjoys fighting.

As the undead leader was beheaded, the process was accelerated infinitely.

Ken's training plan was forced to be suspended because of Lowndes, and finally even turned into a giant's solo show, with his fangs and claws and his shocking blood-stained body...

For a moment, people couldn't tell who was the hunter.

"Clean up the battlefield together, don't keep unimportant things, bone powder is used to make medicine, and other sundries are burned..."

Ken was still telling them to finish, but suddenly stopped.

Kuima and Lorgar looked at Zhanjing warily.

Ken looked up too.

Behind him, snowflakes and strong wind echoed in the silent village.

Ken was silent for a moment, then suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Don't let anyone go, and don't see blood, I want to keep alive."

Quema and Lorgar heard the orders from Warsign.

They each ran towards the snow slopes, like snow hares walking through the bushes, and lost all traces and signs in the blink of an eye.

The Sword and Ax team hadn't realized what happened yet, so they could only stand there dumbly.

"As for you...do as I say, and then gather near my winter house and stay alert."

Ken lowered his hand from his chest.

He grabbed the air, and with the sound of howling wind, a simple and majestic battle ax returned to his palm.

The members of the Sword and Ax team tensed their muscles.

Ken, on the other hand, left the battlefield in silence, and walked towards Mag's winter house with a certain aura that was not to be messed with.
