Home of the Brave
Chapter 9: Horsewoman vs. Ogre
Eight ogres came out slowly from the cave. For ogres who rarely prey in groups, this number is quite unusual. Everyone in the garrison has experience fighting ogres, but the numbers in front of them still make their faces turn green.
Basically speaking, to deal with a powerful monster with a height of more than two meters, a burly physique, and an infinite power like an ogre, under normal circumstances, at least three guards must work together to be able to truly attack. According to this standard, twenty-four guards are needed to deal with eight-headed ogres, but the number of people present is far less than this standard—ten guards, guard captain Dean, and foreign aid Xia Luwei, even if you add them There were only thirteen black-haired youths who were not combatants. It was a desperate situation to deal with eight ogres with such a poor fight.
"How come there are so many ogres?" Xia Luwei widened her eyes and asked everyone's questions.
"I think we should have broken into the ogre's lair? After all, there is no rule that only us can use this place..." Dai Yang scratched his head, calmly judging the status quo. "Perhaps sometime in the past year, a certain ogre found this place, then moved here with the group, and then met us who were going to camp...Well, what should this situation be called? Delivery?"
Dai Yang's words sounded a serious lack of tension, and Xia Luwei was a little dazed. At this moment, the guard captain who reacted gave an order to respond.
"...Retreat outside and get ready to fight! Two-person team to contain the ogres! Don't let them get close to the carriage!"
Dean ordered this to his men. The well-trained guards immediately acted upon receiving the order, and quickly exited the cave and put on a welcoming position.
Although the combat power of the two guards was not enough to defeat the ogres, it was barely possible to contain them for a period of time. Ten guards fought off the five ogres that came out first, and Dean drew out the double-edged battle axe behind him, ready to take over the remaining three ogres. I saw three ogres slowly coming out of the hole, all of them holding huge and heavy wooden sticks in their hands. This kind of primitive blunt weapon, which has not been processed, can be very terrifying with the strange power of the ogres. Striking force. Even Dean was not confident that he could deal with three ogres at once.
Fortunately, he still had a reinforcement, and Dean caught a glimpse of the female knight on the side of the carriage running towards this side from the corner of his eye. The gleaming big sword in her hand seemed to be very trustworthy.
"Miss Cavaliers, please try to contain the leftmost end as much as possible, and wait until I solve the other two ends..."
Dean told Xia Luwei about his tactical arrangements, but the female knight did not intend to stop listening.
Holding the Dragon Slashing Sword, Xia Luwei passed the guard captain without stopping, and rushed to the three ogres alone.
"Hey...hey! What are you going to do?"
This almost crazy behavior made Dean stare blankly. He recovered after a second, and hurriedly rushed to reinforce with the battle axe, but he was a step late. Xia Luwei had already waved the Dragon Slashing Sword to the first ogre on the left.
"Wow wow wow wow!"
Seeing Xia Luwei rushing towards her, the first ogre shouted with unknown meaning, then raised the giant stick in his hand and slammed it at Xia Luwei.
Xia Luwei flashed the ogre's attack sideways, and then swung the Dragon Slashing Sword from the bottom up. The blade of the Dragon Slashing Sword drew a fluent arc in the air, and the arm of the ogre holding the giant stick escaped from the body with the flying blood. The ogre who had lost his right hand screamed in pain, and Xia Luwei took the opportunity to turn to its back, revolved with the inertia of the dragon sword falling, and swung a deadly sword again.
This sword cut in from the ogre's left shoulder and cut out from the right waist, almost cutting the ogre's body into two sections.
Seeing the remaining two ogres killed by their companions, they couldn't help but roar in anger. They rushed to Xia Luwei from left to right, obviously intending to work together to deal with this invisible enemy.
Of course Xia Luwei wouldn't wait until they converge, and after breathing a sigh of relief, she rushed to the closer ogre on the right. The second ogre selected by her as the target seemed to have learned the lessons of her companions, swung the giant stick horizontally and swept towards Xia Luwei. The length of the ogre’s arm and the length of the giant stick itself made the ogre’s attack range reach It's more than three meters astonishing. This time Xia Luwei couldn't easily pass by anyway.
But the sweep of the ogre still failed.
Xia Luwei slipped from the ogre's crotch, and at the same time, the Dragon Slashing Sword also left a deep bone wound on the ogre's ankle. Because the place of battle was the slippery grassland by the stream, Xia Luwei could use this dodge method similar to a sliding barrier. As a result, the ogre not only failed to hit Xia Luwei, but exposed his back to the blade of the Dragon Slashing Sword. Xia Luwei, who regained her posture, swung a sword to cut off its throat while the ogre turned around.
"impressive…"
Seeing the two ogres lying on the ground in this way, Dean who was watching the battle was already so surprised that he couldn't speak. Xiao En's description of Xia Luwei's strength seems to be very different from the real situation.
Xia Luwei successfully eliminated the two ogres, but it also consumed considerable physical energy. The female knight poked her sword and panted in place, seemingly unaware that the third ogre was approaching quietly from behind.
"Hey, be careful behind!"
Dean saw the ogre raising the stick and immediately shouted to remind Xia Luwei, but he was a step late.
The ogre's giant rod pulled down with the howling wind, Xia Luwei reacted at the moment of her death and raised the Dragon Slashing Sword to block it.
If it is an ordinary knight sword, it will probably shatter at the moment it receives a heavy blow from the ogre monster, right? However, the thick body of the Dragon Slashing Sword turned into a strong shield, stopping the murder weapon full of harm, but at the same time it put Xia Luwei in danger. Xia Luwei held the hilt in one hand and the spine of the sword in the other, working hard to resist the heavy pressure from above, and the ground under her feet was deeply sunken.
"Damn it!"
Dean cursed at the fascinated self, and then rushed over with a tomahawk in a panic. However, at this moment, Xia Luwei over there suddenly made an incredible move.
I saw Xia Luwei suddenly let go of her right hand holding the hilt, and quickly moved her foot to the left. The ogre’s great stick fell to the ground because it lost its load. At the same time, Xia Luwei switched to holding the sword with both hands reversed, swinging the Dragon Slashing sword like a warhammer, and the heavy sword easily shattered the ogre’s head. .
A second later, the ogre who lost his head fell to the ground, and Xia Luwei knelt on the spot and panted fiercely.
The trick she used just now was the "hammer-killing" of the Wuming Five Types, that is, using the Dragon Slashing Sword in reverse and striking with a cross-shaped sword. The principle of this trick is to concentrate all the quality of the Dragon Slashing Sword at one point and inflict the highest intensity damage on the target. It is said that a full blow can even penetrate the dragon scale. However, since the sharp edge of the sword will cut the palm of the hand when holding the knight's sword, this trick can only be used on the non-edge dragon sword.
It was the first time that Xia Luwei had used the "hammer-killing" in actual combat. Coupled with the shock of just receiving the blow of the ogre, she even felt that she didn't have the strength to stand up.
"Hey, are you okay?"
At this moment Dean rushed over and looked at her worriedly.
"I... it's okay."
Xia Luwei tried to stand up with the Dragon Slashing Sword, but she suddenly lost her strength on the way, and when she fell back swayingly, she supported her with both hands from behind.
"Don't be brave. The stick of the ogre is not light. You should have difficulty even standing now?"
※※※
The person holding her was Dai Yang.
Xia Luwei leaned her back against the chest of the black-haired youth, raised her head slightly, and saw a look of concern appearing on that chiseled face. I don't know if it is an illusion. In those dark eyes, there seemed to be some kind of indescribable deep light radiating, Xia Luwei couldn't help being startled. However, Dai Yang turned his attention to the guard captain next to him and reminded him.
"She will take care of me. Dean, you can help them deal with the remaining ogres."
"Then leave it to you." Dean nodded, dragging his battle axe with a happy expression. "I just saw something wonderful, we can't lose too much here."
Due to Xia Luwei's activity, the number of ogres was reduced to five, and the pressure on the guards was greatly reduced. Dean wielded a heavy battle axe to join the battle, and soon cooperated with the others to cut down two ogres. Those who draw their hands join the battlefield of other groups, and in turn form an advantage in combat power against the ogres. Before long, the ogres were driven to the brink of ruin.
"...It seems that this time is a surprise."
Dai Yang supported Xia Luwei while observing the battle over there. When they saw that the guards successfully defeated an ogre again, they were relieved.
"Well, it seems like this..."
Xia Luwei nodded in agreement with his opinion, but at this time, the situation on the battlefield suddenly changed.
Perhaps seeing the companions being defeated one after another, the remaining two ogres suddenly went mad. They ignored Dean's tomahawk, turned around and smashed the unprepared guards on the other side. Dean's battle axe left deep cut marks on the back of the ogre, but the corner of the encircling net collapsed. While the ogres were waving their giant sticks frantically, they rushed towards the forest, but unfortunately, Dai Yang and the others happened to be in the direction the ogres were heading.
"Tsk..."
Dai Yang smacked his tongue, preparing to take Xia Luwei out of the ogre's escape route, but the female knight in her arms suddenly made an unbelievable action.
"I'll stop them!"
Perhaps out of the idea of protecting her companions, Xia Luwei pushed Dai Yang to the back, and then rushed to the two ogres with the Dragon Slashing Sword herself.
"Hey...hey! Do you want to die?"
Unprepared, Dai Yang was pushed out of balance and could only stare at the female knight's charge.
To be honest, this is a very stupid idea.
Although Xia Luwei had successfully eliminated the three ogres before, her current state could not be compared with that at that time. Crazy ogres are more terrible than angry giants. They will wave their giant sticks frantically, smashing everything close to them like a storm. With Xia Luwei's current state, she would suffer another blow from the ogre's fury, and she would be seriously injured if she didn't die.
At this time, Xia Luwei had already raised the Dragon Slashing Sword in front of the ogre. Dai Yang gritted his teeth as he watched the ogre swung down with the giant stick, and suddenly stomped his feet bitterly.
"Fuck it!"
