The Witcher: From the Academy of Knights

Chapter 57
The soldiers charged towards the phosphorous fire beast, but Welch remained motionless.

"Lord Welch won't make a move?" Sauron raised his eyebrows.

"Not in a hurry."

Welch looked calm, and said: "This group of phosphorous beasts is not qualified enough for me to take action. It's better to save your energy and deal with that phosphorous giant elephant later."

Hearing Welch's words, Sauron nodded slightly.

Next to him, Viscount Hall bent his bow and set an arrow, and shot an arrow calmly.

puff!
The arrow made of refined iron was shot at a phosphorous fire beast, but failed to cause any damage. The arrow slipped through the tough animal hide.

Seeing this scene, Sauron shook his head in his heart.

As the youngest son, Hall, although he is valued by Welch, his strength is not very good. He has not yet been promoted to the realm of knights, and he is probably not as good as ordinary soldiers.

"These bloody bastards."

A hint of embarrassment appeared on Hall's face, and he quibbled: "I am not good at bow and archery, which made Lord Sauron laugh."

Sauron smiled lightly and shook his head, but didn't say much.

Not far away, under the leadership of Mohien, the soldiers of Riverrun besieged the phosphorous beasts, and quickly killed two phosphorous beasts.

However, at this moment.

There was a shake in the bushes, and more phosphorous beasts rushed out, and with the previous ones, the number had reached about thirty.

Phosphorus, like a wild boar, rampaged around.

Their slender fangs seem to have extremely high temperature, and their tough skin makes it difficult for ordinary soldiers to break through their defenses.

"Lord Sauron doesn't want to play?"

Next to him, Hall's eyes flickered. It was he who invited Sauron to Riverrun, but he still didn't know the strength of the lord of Night Crow City.

"it is good."

Sauron did not refuse, nodded, took out a long bow, bent the bow and set an arrow, and shot at the phosphorous beast not far away.

call out! !

As Sauron loosened the bowstring, the sound of piercing the air sounded in vain, but an arrow shot away, instantly piercing through the head of a phosphorous fire beast.

Immediately afterwards, Sauron shot three arrows in quick succession.

The arrows drew arcs in mid-air, and precisely hit the vital points of the three phosphorous beasts. Amidst a burst of shrill screams, the three phosphorous beasts fell to the ground.

"hiss!"

Hall gasped, with a look of surprise on his face.

Although he had heard for a long time that Sauron, who graduated from Shenghui Academy, must have good strength, but he did not expect that the opponent's archery skills were so terrifying.

Thinking of the arrow he shot just now, Hall couldn't help but blushed.

"Good archery!"

Next to him, Welch couldn't help admiring, the luster in his eyes flickered slightly, as if he had reacquainted with the young man in front of him.

With Sauron's help, the morale of Riverrun is boosted.

Each of the arrows fired one after another could kill one phosphorous beast. In a short while, at least ten phosphorous beasts had died under Sauron's arrows.

Suddenly, the ground trembled.

Moxien, who was fighting fiercely with the phosphorous fire beast, his pupils shrank for a while, and a look of vigilance appeared on his face, and he loudly ordered the soldiers in Riverrun to retreat.

"coming!"

Welch narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his hand, and the two servants next to him immediately brought up a battle ax and handed it to him.

The next moment, a giant came out of the forest.

The surrounding trees broke down one after another, and even the ground trembled slightly. It was several times larger than ordinary phosphorous beasts. A giant elephant with long red hair all over its body came out, bloodthirsty luster shone in its scarlet eyes, and a pair of curved ivory were particularly sharp.

"Phosphorus giant elephant!"

A thought flashed in Sauron's eyes. When he was at the Holy Knight Academy, he had seen the record about the Phosphorus in the library.

This is a monster that has awakened magic power.

Not only are they huge in size and amazing in defense, but they also have the ability to swallow flames, especially when they are in estrus, they often cause forest fires.

"Everyone be careful!"

Moxien shouted loudly, with a nervous expression on his face. Even with his knight strength, he was still not enough to face the phosphorescent giant elephant.

The surrounding soldiers dispersed one after another.

Such a colossal monster was simply not something they could deal with. A giant phosphorous fire elephant could trample an ordinary soldier into a pulp.

Welch took a deep breath with his tomahawk in hand.

Next to him, Hall's face was slightly pale. It was obviously the first time he had seen such a monster. He resisted the idea of ​​turning around and running away and stood there.

At this time, the giant phosphorous fire elephant suddenly let out a roar.

It opened its mouth wide, and a flame spewed out. The soldiers in front had no time to dodge, and were instantly swallowed by the flames.

"what!!!"

The soldier's miserable scream made people feel scalp numb.

The next moment, the giant phosphorescent elephant rushed forward, piercing another soldier's chest with its curved ivory, and threw him into the sky.

"Karoo!!"

The surrounding companions exclaimed. The moment the soldier fell, the phosphorous fire elephant had already raised the soles of its feet, and the flesh and blood he trampled on was blurred.

After two soldiers died in succession, Welch finally shot.

"drink!"

But seeing Welch rushing straight towards the giant elephant with a tomahawk in his hand, the strength of the senior knight exploded, and the momentum of the whole person rose steadily.

Stab it! !
The battle ax slashed towards the phosphorescent elephant, but was blocked by the curved ivory. With a harsh sound, Welch stepped back one after another.

Obviously, in a competition of strength, the Phosphorous Fire Giant Elephant was superior.

"This beast!"

There was a trace of seriousness on Welch's face. After standing firm, he decisively released the power of the life seeds in his body, and his whole body seemed to glow with a golden-gray light.

The next moment, he charged again.

"Why are you still standing still?"

At the same time, Viscount Hall, who was far away from the battlefield, also gave orders to the surrounding soldiers, and the archers and spearmen launched long-range attacks one after another.

Puff puff!
It's just that, compared to the Phosphorous Beast, the Phosphorous Elephant's defense is more terrifying. Even if the spears thrown by the elite soldiers hit the Phosphorous Elephant, it will be useless.

Seeing this scene, Hall couldn't help but look at Sauron.

"Don't worry, I have my own measure."

Sauron nodded slightly, bowed his bow and set his arrow, aiming at the phosphorous giant elephant, but didn't shoot the arrow immediately.

The skin of this phosphorous giant elephant is too tough, even with Sauron's archery, it is difficult to cause effective damage if it does not hit the vital point.

So Sauron had to bide his time.

In the distance, Welch, holding a battle ax, was in a fierce confrontation with the Phosphorus Elephant, and several Knights of Riverrun rushed forward.

To deal with monsters like the Phosphorous Fire Elephant, even if ordinary soldiers stepped forward, they would just die.

Only those who have reached the realm of knights are eligible to participate in this battle, but even so, at most they can only assist from the side. The person who can really fight against the giant elephant is the senior knight Welch.
