The Witcher: From the Academy of Knights

Chapter 58 Backstab
"Death to me!"

Welch roared, swung the battle ax in his hand, and slashed at the phosphorescent elephant.

Bang!
The battle ax struck the phosphorous giant elephant's front legs, and the giant elephant let out a roar, as if it was in pain, and violently picked up the curved ivory.

Welch stepped back quickly.

Immediately afterwards, the giant phosphorous elephant swung its trunk, rolled up the big tree on the side, uprooted it, and slammed it hard at Welch.

The dust was flying, and the tree trunks struck.

Welch swung his tomahawk vigorously and smashed the tree trunk in mid-air, but at this moment, the phosphorescent giant opened its mouth fiercely.

With a burst of power accumulation, the fiery fireball roared away!

"Father!"

Hall exclaimed, a trace of anxiety appeared on his pale face.

The next moment, Welch raised his battle axe.

The incoming fireball was shattered, and the stream of fire scattered towards the surroundings. Although Welch was old, the strength of the senior knight should not be underestimated.

Not far away, a complicated gleam flashed in Moxien's eyes.

"Lord Sauron, please act as soon as possible!" Hall couldn't help urging again.

"it is good!"

This time, Sauron did not refuse, and loosened the bowstring at the right time.

call out! ! !
The fierce sound of piercing the air suddenly sounded, and the arrow shot from Sauron's hand, like a ray of cold light, went straight to the phosphorous giant elephant.

Snapped!
The arrow hit the phosphorescent elephant's eyeball precisely, and it seemed to explode. Scarlet blood mixed with white liquid flowed out from the eye socket.

The Phosphorous Fire Giant Elephant roared.

The intense pain made it go crazy, and it opened its bloody mouth and spit out flames around it, turning everything around into a sea of ​​flames in an instant.

Welch stepped back and quickly distanced himself from the phosphorous giant elephant.

At this time, the giant phosphorescent elephant has fallen into a state of mania.

Even Welch didn't want to be tough, grabbed a spear from the soldier next to him, and threw it forward.

"Spear throw!"

Welch yelled, and the surrounding Riverrun soldiers threw spears one after another.

Although most of the spears were unable to break through the defenses of the phosphorous giant elephants, there were also a few spears that were lucky enough to be stuck in the giant elephant's forelimbs.

In the battle just now, Welch had used his battle ax to inflict some damage on the giant elephant. As several spears pierced into the flesh, the giant elephant moved more slowly.

In the surrounding area, the few remaining phosphorous beasts also became restless when they saw the phosphorous giant elephant being injured, and rushed towards Welch.

"Shield soldiers step forward!"

Moxien gave an order, and the soldiers with shields stepped forward one after another, forming a shield wall to block the impact of the phosphorous fire beast.

In the rear, more than a dozen spearmen stabbed their spears through the gaps in the shield wall.

Welch waved his hand, and the archers were ready.

Immediately afterwards, following a round of arrow rain, the phosphorous beasts fled in all directions, but facing the surrounding shield wall, they had no way to retreat.

Soon, the phosphorous beasts were almost killed, and the few remaining were like hedgehogs, with arrows piercing the soft parts of their bodies.

The isolated and helpless phosphorous giant elephant let out angry roars.

Sauron looked calm, and bowed his bow again.

The arrows that shot out hit the Phosphorus giant's abdomen and exploded into a cloud of blood. Welch also saw the timing and walked towards the Phosphorus giant with a grinning grin.

"Die! Beast!"

Welch roared, and the tomahawk slashed fiercely, breaking the leg bone of the phosphorescent giant.

Bang!
The Phosphorous Fire Elephant wailed, knelt down on the ground with its forelegs, opened its mouth and spit out a ball of fire, but Welch easily dodged it.

Immediately afterwards, Welch jumped up.

The next moment, the battle ax smashed into the head of the giant phosphorescent elephant, and the terrifying power originating from the high-ranking knight erupted in an instant.

Rumble!
Under such a fatal attack, the Phosphorous Fire Giant Elephant screamed and fell down like a hill, with hot blood like magma flowing from its head.

The soldiers of Riverrun cheered as they saw the Phosphorus Golem fall.

A smile appeared on Hall's face.

There was a glimmer of light in Moxien's eyes, and he winked at the subordinate next to him.

"Ha ha!"

Welch resisted the battle ax in his hand, with a smug look on his face, he said loudly: "Come on, drag this phosphorescent elephant back to Riverrun."

"I'm going to use its hide to make a suit of leather armor!"

Hearing Welch's words, the soldiers stepped forward one after another, and used the prepared ropes to wrap the limbs of the Phosphorus giant.

Although the Phosphorous Fire Giant Elephant is not dead at this moment, it is already at the end of its strength. Its skull has been smashed, and it is so weak that it can't even support its body.

"Father, drink some water."

At this time, Mosheen stepped forward and gave a water bottle to Welch who had just experienced a fierce battle.

Welch took the kettle and took a few sips without thinking.

However, the next moment.

As the liquid in the kettle entered his mouth, Welch's face changed, and at the same time, a grim expression appeared on Moxien's face opposite him.

laugh!
Moxien stabbed out with the long sword in his left hand, piercing Welch's abdomen, and slashed away with the short blade in his right hand, but was caught by Welch with his raised hand.

"Nizi, are you crazy!?"

Welch roared angrily, and sent Moxien flying with a fierce punch.

But then, Welch's face turned pale.

The abdomen pierced by the long sword was bleeding continuously, and the intense pain spread all over his body, causing Welch's figure to shake for a while, and an unbelievable gleam flashed in his eyes.

The sudden change shocked everyone present.

"Go!"

Moxien roared, and those men who were loyal to him immediately turned their swords on the other soldiers of Riverrun City around them.

Caught off guard, Riverrun soldiers suffered heavy casualties.

At the same time, the surrounding forest shook.

"Knight of the Wild Lion!"

Welch's pupils shrank, but he saw hundreds of soldiers walking out of the forest. The leader was a middle-aged man with a burly figure and long golden hair on his head.

Wild Lion Knight, Rotaire!

The well-known high-ranking knight under the Duke of the Western Territory once shined brilliantly in the tournament many years ago, but unfortunately lost to the night raven knight Orens in the end.

"Good day, Lord Welch."

The corners of Rotaire's lips were raised, and a sneer appeared on his face.

Welch's face was as gloomy as water.

The moment he saw the Wild Lion Knight, he already understood what was going on. He looked at Moxien with a smile on his face.

"Good! Good! Good!"

A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Welch's eyes, and he said hoarsely: "I never thought that you have already joined the Duke of the West Region, and you can still invite the mad lion knight Rotaire!"

"What? What did the Duke of Westland promise you? Is it worth betraying Riverrun?"

Mo Xien expressionless, shook his head and said: "I did not betray Riverrun City!"

"Father, you are old."

"River City is in your hands, and there will be no development at all. Only I can lead River Run City to a more glorious era!"

"In fact, you should have understood this point a long time ago!"
