Chaos Crown

Chapter 322, Wild Hunt Knight!
In November 1362 in the valley calendar, in the dark forest, the Sunset Army was slowly advancing. The forests on both sides were covered with shadows, and creepy sounds could be heard from time to time.

This will be Aaron's last attack on Hurek Forest this year.

After that, winter will come, and Aaron is not confident that his newly formed army and casually recruited adventurers can fight against the severe cold, rain, snow and black forest environment, so he must fight in the first day of 1362. Before the snow comes, get rid of the extreme druid's "sacred forest" and the Huimin monastery.

However, even if Aaron can successfully break through the defenses of the druid's sacred forest and the Huimin monastery, this will only be the beginning. In the future, Aaron may need a lot of time and a lot of energy to carry out a long security battle against the forest , until all races are completely surrendered.

This is the country where wild monsters are rampant. As an area that has been theoretically included in the territory of Cormyr, Hurek Forest, after the conquest of King Yasan IV, Aaron still has to pay a lot if he wants to conquer this territory again. energy.

Gotta get on with it!
Aaron, who was sitting on the Tzeentch Sky Survey Chariot, was calm, and there were endless strange noises in the Black Forest. Eleanor and Nestia, who were sitting next to him, had different expressions.

Eleanor was a little nervous. Ms. Priest might have been involved in wars before, but this was the first time she had fought in the name of a commander. She was wearing the magical equipment that Aaron gave her—the elf commander's cloak, which symbolized leadership. The cloak of power was accidentally obtained by Aaron during his expedition to Myth Drannor. It was given to Aaron by the elven lich Bielsa-the unreasonable one, and Bielsa's research on the highest ladder was also given to him, as mentioned above However, Aaron plans to build his own Supreme Ladder and name it the Star Railway.

However, the dwarf craftsman Kim Mungon said he was helpless, and he was even a little angry.

You take the drawing of the pointed ears for us dwarves to make?

Find pointed ears yourself!
Kim-gon's subtext Aaron gets it right away - they can't read it and they can't do it.

Of course, Aaron asked Barrell Moonflower for help, but the fat sun elf didn't refuse, nor did he immediately agree, saying that he would write a letter to Queen Moonflower for consultation after dealing with the matters at hand.

Eleanor, who was wearing a beautiful purple priest's battle robe, a cloak of elf control, and a skirt lined with mithril armor, looked around nervously. Miss Priest said to Aaron, "Aaron, I feel something is wrong. There seems to be something in the forest."

"Heck, in the forest?" Nestia, the bloodthirsty dark elf sister, was dressed in a light leather outfit, hot and bold, and the silver zipper on the back of a pair of knee-high leather boots was like a jewel in the crown. Shining, her chest is wrapped tightly with cloth strips for easy movement, and her standard long silver wavy hair is tied into a ponytail to prepare for war at any time. After hearing Eleanor's somewhat unconfident words, the dark spirit elder sister said indifferently. Her own tongue licked the top of her beloved weapon: "It's best to have something in the forest, no matter what comes, just kill it all, I'm just annoyed that this war didn't have a bloody battle Woolen cloth!"

Eleanor rolled her eyes when she heard that, Miss Priest didn't want to see Sister Dark Elf anymore.

Nestia saw that Eleanor flinched and was about to take advantage of the victory to pursue her. After thinking about it, Nestia closed her mouth. She knew the weight of Eleanor in Aaron's heart. When they met for the first time, the little half-elf priest had already She belongs to Xiaocaiji, and Xiaocaiji also likes her very much, maybe her favorite.

Aaron frowned. He also faintly sensed the strange atmosphere in the forest. He was about to call Barrell to inquire. Before he could ask the soldiers to find someone, he saw Barrell running over panting. : "Your Excellency, be careful."

"You feel it too?" Aaron looked at the forest in the distance, and his chaotic magic power had already touched some less peaceful atmosphere.

"It's the Wild Hunt, Your Excellency." The Sun Elf Arcane High Priest wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hands, Ba Ruier also put away his usual greasy and honest smile at this time, and his face became very serious: "Your Excellency, we may have to Facing a very powerful enemy."

"What a coincidence, Wild Hunt likes to haunt the ancient forests in late autumn, and we happened to be at the right time." Ba Ruier grabbed the window of the Sky Survey Chariot with his hand: "But it's nothing strange, Fairy Princess's Knight of Flowers, it's only a problem if the Wild Hunt doesn't come to you."

"Wild Hunt? What is Wild Hunt?" Aaron asked puzzled.

All he remembered was that the Wild Hunt seemed to be a part of Norse mythology, and that some of the games he'd played in previous lives featured predators called the Wild Hunt.

"Didn't your Excellency have seen Oberon, the King of Fairies, and Queen Titania of Joy King's Court?" Barrell said casually, "Then you should also know that in the Fairy Wilderness, besides Joy King's Court, there are In a royal court of sorrow and wrath, there is also a god-like power named Queen of Space and Darkness in it, who is in opposition to the royal court of joy, right?"

Aaron nodded.

"This is, Your Excellency, many groups of our elves live in the Fairy Wilderness. These compatriots have merged with the power of the Fairy Wilderness, so they are also called 'Elding'." Barrell-Moon Hua narrowed his eyes: "However, most of the Eladrin belong to the King of Joy."

"And those elves who belong to the court of Wrath and live in the ice fields and snow fields of the Goblin Wilderness are called Wild Hunts."

Barrell Moonflower told Aaron what she knew about the Wild Hunt.

The Wild Hunt are elves from the Goblin Wilderness. They ride huge stags, knights in snow-white armor and ragged cloaks, with pale skin under a dead gray mask, and will-o'-the-wisp eyes, like dead people.

Every time after the autumnal equinox, the King of the Wild Hunt will lead the army of the Wild Hunt across the night sky. In summer, the King of Joy is powerful, and the people of the Queen of Darkness just fly high in the sky. The ride of the Wild Hunt will be even more frightening when the Darkness Queen is powerful, and they will descend upon the world with an evil breath, screaming in the wind, restless livestock, and lightning and thunder.

The wild hunts will take away humans, dwarves, and even elves on their rides. This kind of thing has not been uncommon for many centuries. Throwing back to the original world, only an empty shell remains, and the soul has already been swallowed up by the greedy wild hunts and goblins.

"Get ready, Your Excellency, the Wild Hunt is definitely coming for you." Barrell Moonflower covered her face in pain, "Do you still remember your title? The Fairy Princess' Flower Knight? Since you Standing on the side of Joy King's Court, then your soul and head are definitely what the Wild Hunts want most."

Aaron's answer surprised Barrell. Not only did the Fairy Princess' Flower Knight not show nervousness, fear, or uneasiness, on the contrary, Aaron's face glowed with a bloodthirsty halo: "Bariel, do you mind if I slaughter your fellow elves?"

"Compatriots? Who are my compatriots?" Ba Ruier was amused by Aaron, and the Elven Arcane High Priest clapped his hands: "Are drow still elves? Are they my compatriots? My Moonflower family, men, women and children, my beloved relatives and friends Which one of the brothers and sisters does not hope that all the drows, from the spider queen down to the arachnids, will die? Of course... we are still willing to give them a chance for the drow followers of the dark girl, the daughter of the father and god."

"Remember, your Excellency, only the sun elves, moon elves, and star elves are my compatriots of Barel, and the rest, whatever you want." The arcane high priest said meaningfully: "If you don't mind, your excellency, please order all Army beware!"

Barrell's attitude made both Eleanor and Nestia frowned, and Miss Pastor felt a little chill in her heart. She knew that Barrell didn't like her blood, and usually only respected her because she was Aaron's girlfriend. , but some things are ugly when put on the table.

It doesn't matter, anyway, she doesn't agree that she is a member of the elves. She is Su Lun's pastor and Aaron's real girlfriend.

Nestia sneered, thinking, do you think I treat you as a compatriot?
For the children of the Moonflower family, even the Holy Day of the Spider Queen in Menzoberranzan City is a very heavyweight sacrifice.

"I kind of understand why there are always rumors of ghosts in the Hurek Forest." Aaron touched his chin: "Very good, pass my order, the whole army is on alert!"

"It seems that we are not only facing Druids and Huimin this time."

…………

After Aaron gave the order to the whole army, the advancing speed of the soldiers gradually slowed down. Everyone put on their armor, put their hands on their weapons, and advanced slowly in the forest.

Yes, normally, when the army is marching, except for the scouts in front, most of the soldiers don’t wear armor, because the weight of the armor is often more than 20 kilograms, wearing such heavy equipment, the soldiers are considered to be elite fighters will feel burdened.

Although theoretically speaking, it is not too big of a problem for an elite junior warrior to walk more than ten kilometers wearing a few kilograms of armor, but according to the authoritative data research of Candlekeep, such a warrior enters the world after walking for a long time in armor. The explosive power and reaction speed possessed by the battle are in a state of sharp decline, and the displayed combat power is naturally much inferior.

Because of Aaron's warning in advance, the soldiers were mentally prepared, and the adventurers were even more excited.

Fight the legendary Wild Hunt?
Now even if there is no rich loot, there is still something to brag about in the tavern when you go back!
"hu~hu~hu~"

The cold wind passed through the forest, and there were dense whistling sounds on the edge of the armor. The forest seemed to become dark in an instant. There was the sound of demon spirits passing through the sky above the sky. The sun quickly faded away, followed by It's a squall.

"Drip~drip~drip,did,did,did,did~"

The first drop of rain fell on the armor of Orc Sword Master Doherty and Guard Knight Fiorena. Doherty couldn't help showing a smile, while Guard Knight Fiorena approached silently with a serious expression. Sky patrol chariot, hold your hand on the handle of your sword.

The drizzle fell from the sky, and there was lightning and thunder.

"Boom~" The army stayed in place directly, and the soldiers raised their heads, watching the raindrops as thin as a hair grow bigger under each lightning roar, from drizzle to light rain, from light rain to rain like weaving, and then from Thunderstorms turned to downpours.

The sun was still shining in the sky not long ago, and the temperature began to cool down rapidly. A deep chill gradually penetrated into the soldiers' bodies along with the rainwater through the seams of the armor.

It’s so cold!

The deep chill penetrated into the joints of everyone's bones, the sound of demon spirits in the distant sky became more and more clear, and the moment when the downpour gradually turned into a blizzard and came to the earth, the Wild Hunt came here!

A black rider wearing a huge stag horn helmet stepped out of the forest. The wild hunting general Karius of the Fairy Wilderness Royal Court led the army. The tail of the phantom steed was burning with black flames. , Four wild hunting dogs bigger than brown bears surrounded Karius, and the wild hunting general with a skull mask on his face waved and pointed at Aaron's frame.

The enemy is there!

"Doo~ woo~ woo woo woo~"

The desolate and violent horn sounded through the forest, and the blizzard that fell from the sky immediately swept away the entire formation of Sunset's army, freezing the entire army in a snow-white world!

With the sound of horns and thunderous hooves, hundreds of Wild Hunt knights rushed out of the forest. Without exception, they were riding phantom warhorses, armed with heavy weapons, and their figures walked on the ground in the chaotic forest. Behind each knight was followed by at least two wild hounds, and their fangs, which were bigger than a bear, were enough to make anyone terrified.

The knights rushed straight to Sunset to lead the right flank of the center army.

"This is the legendary Wild Hunt." Aaron, who was sitting in the chariot, squeezed his chin and looked admiringly.

Law, cavalry, dog, and footsteps, the four levels of serial tactics can often catch mortals by surprise. Every Wild Hunt knight is a high-level professional strength. If they are rushed like this, the army will probably fail Crashes immediately.

Fortunately, I was prepared.

"Eleanor!" Aaron yelled.

"Understood!" Miss Priest stood up immediately, grabbed the magic book on her waist with her little hand and slammed it.

In the Twilight Realm, five-ring divine art—a halo of power!
The halo of the moon, as warm as a mother, passed through the entire battlefield, and the radiance of Su Lun's numb magic embraced the frozen soldiers. The lady pastor raised the flag of Salian to maximize her energy: "Sunset Soldiers! I am with you!"

The sunset in the light took the chill off the soldiers, and they realized what kind of predicament they were in. Under the muscle memory and advance warning, under the scolding of the purple dragon knight and the soldiers, the pikemen and halberds The soldiers immediately formed a solid shield formation, ready to meet the charge of the Wild Hunt knights.

However, some people reacted faster than ordinary soldiers. The snow elves from the highest ice field had already got rid of the influence of the wild hunting before Eleanor raised the aura of power.

"It's so cold, how can we subdue our snow elves?" Under the leadership of Leierta, the magic archers battalion bent their bows and set arrows. More than 100 magic archers drew their bows like a moon, and drew their bowstrings in the blizzard.

"Exploding Arrows!"

The locust-like arcane shot passed through the blizzard in the air and fell straight into the ranks of the charging Wild Hunt knights. The force field energy exploded one after another, blowing up snowflakes, and the twenty or thirty Wild Hunt knights who rushed at the front fell on their backs. Before the spear shield formation, the wild hound behind him also suffered from the shooting and was swept away by the way.

"Get ready, shoot!" The dwarf musketeers fired in volley, and even the Wild Hunt knight wearing mithril armor was blasted into holes one after another under the explosion barrage of flat shots. Strings of bright blood flowers look so dazzling in the snow-white forest.

"They are alive!"

"The Wild Hunt are creatures too, don't be afraid of them!"

Seeing that the killing was effective, the officers and the purple dragon knights shouted excitedly, and the steel torrent formed by the remaining fifty or sixty wild hunting knights hit the spear array, and the line was immediately torn open, and stood at the forefront Almost all the soldiers in the platoon were killed or seriously injured on the spot, but there were not a few Wild Hunt knights who were pierced by spears.

The hound finally caught up, and the creature, which was more ferocious than the bear than the wolf, looked for the target and began to enjoy a delicious meal.

The forest in the blizzard immediately turned into a battlefield of flesh and blood.

A world of white, bright red.

Wild Hunt general Karius looked at the scene in front of him with dissatisfaction. He realized that his surprise attack had not worked, and the human army might have someone who knew about Wild Hunt.

Was it the Fairy Princess Buyer who taught her the Flower Knight?

Without time to think, General Wild Hunt waved his hand, and hundreds of armed infantry slowly entered the battlefield.

"Send a signal, it's time for our allies to come to our aid." Karius said coldly, he was checking his black longbow, and today he was going to shoot the Cavalier of Blossoms in the head with it.

As soon as the wild hunting signal was sent out, Aaron immediately got the news.

"Your Excellency, there are enemies behind!"

"Your Excellency, there are enemies ahead!"

"Order all the troops to stand firm on the defense." Aaron remained calm, and he sat firmly in the middle army with a calm expression.

"Just use the blood of the Wild Hunt to tell everyone that we Cormyrs are back."

"After today, the territorial sovereignty of Hulek Forest will once again belong to us Cormyrs!"
