Chapter 61 33. Airborne Beheading
Walter jumped off the Cold Lizard, took out a serrated dagger and began to cut off his brother's head. Darkus looked at this scene and suddenly realized that Newkel asked him to protect Walter, and he killed all the members of the Thorn family. Isn't this also a kind of protection?
After destroying the Thorn Family's team, the initiative of the battle has gradually come to Dakus's hands. Still on the empty field, the Cold Lizard Dread Riders began to replenish food and water to prepare for the next battle.
The trumpet sounded again, and he wanted to call back the scattered dark riders and the Scourge Walker chariots.
Darkius began questioning the Dark Riders' captain.
"Where did they come from?"
"Sir, we searched the southeast all night and didn't find any trace of them until daybreak. They came in a big circle from the south."
Daxus nodded, he understood.
After resting, they set out again, with a group of cold lizards joining the team.
Coming to a ridge, Daquus looked at the stone ring of destruction in the distance, and an indescribable feeling of oppression arose spontaneously. This was a place full of ominous atmosphere.
A circular fissure split the land in the middle, with magma and flames occasionally gushing out from it, forming a stone ring of destruction with a diameter of nearly five kilometers. The fissure also had six traces of expansion along the outside, like a burning stove set on the ground.
This wonder existed long before the establishment of Clar Karond and has remained the same ever since. The six cracks have not expanded, and the stone rings inside have not flown up like the Disc of Tzeentch. Druch rode a flying mount to explore it, and found no standing pillars in the center of the Stone Ring of Destruction, nor were there orbs or books placed on the pillars for adventurers to obtain. There was only a barren wasteland with no grass growing on it.
Daxus didn't choose to fight in the Stone Ring of Destruction. The Akshay Wind was too strong there, and there was no fire sorceress in his team. He turned his gaze to a larger open space in the distance and pointed in that direction. "Go there!"
Calien drove the Scourgerunner chariot towards the place where the trumpet sounded, and the enemy was repelled with the help of two other Scourgerunner chariots.
Hearing the trumpet sound again, the three Scourgewalker chariots began to turn at the same time.
At this time, a serious internal conflict broke out in the Heart Eater family's team. Mangil and his brother quarreled. He thought that they should attack quickly, concentrate their superior numbers to fight with Daquus, and find an opportunity to kill Daquus in battle. However, his brother had the opposite idea and even had the intention of retreating.
After a long argument, Mangil won. He killed his brother with a rapier and hung him on a tree. Amid his brother's screams, he skinned him efficiently and quickly and put the skin on his own plate armor. His craftsmanship was amazing and there was not even any blood on the skin.
Mangil rode on the Cold Lizard, lowered his head and gently stroked his brother's face, grinning sinisterly. "Brother, I will win. I will prove to Father that I am the best."
The battle began. The Scourge Walker chariots had been harassing and fighting the Heart Eater's dark cavalry, engaging in a battle between scouts. Daquus's team just stood there waiting for the other side to come over. With a roar from the big guy, the Cold Lizards of the Heart Eater family stopped, and the riders led by three powerful people charged forward.
The Heart Eater family's manticore dispersed the dark Pegasus of Alyssa and the others. The shadow sorceress on the manticore released Melks's bewitching poison miasma at Darkeus, and then swooped down on the manticore directly towards Darkeus. The Reaper crossbow mounted behind her hit her accurately. She soared in the air with the impact of the crossbow arrow, and then fell to the ground.
Following behind her were the elite family guards led by Mangil. Facing crossbows and harpoons, these guards followed Mangil as he swooped down on the dark Pegasus, then jumped off the dark Pegasus and engaged in a fight with Daquus's followers.
Edmund's face changed drastically when he saw the sudden appearance of the poisonous miasma, and he rushed in directly with the Reaper Crossbow Captain.
A deafening roar and a blinding flash of fire overwhelmed Daquus's senses, and he felt his back hit the cold ground. Pain spread throughout his body, and his mind only remembered what hit him, what seemed to be a fireball, hitting the open space between him and Ren.
Fortunately, Daxus had taken the Soul Eater off the saddle beforehand. The big guy rolled on the ground and stood up, roaring and calling on the group of cold lizards in the forest to rush out to deal with the mantis lion, and then pounced on it and bit it.
Darkus, nearly deaf and unable to breathe, rolled to the side on the ground, his jagged sword slashing against the snow where his head had been. He held his breath, rolled over again, and stood up, using his messer to support himself as he watched the Heart Eater guards stab him.
Daquus dodged the jagged sword's thrust and slashed the guard's arm with his backhand, then kicked him down. As the tinnitus subsided, he was about to execute the guard when he heard a whistling sound behind him. He turned and thrust his Messer blade, slashing at the guard's armpit, severing his entire arm.
Daxus suddenly felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand up. He lowered his head and the fireball flew directly over his head.
"Damn, this Fireball spell has no cooldown?"
Mangil appeared, leaping to his feet and slashing directly at Dacus. Mangil was only 2.2 meters tall, but very fast. Dacus blocked his massive blade with the handle of his Messer, and the immense impact nearly knocked the Messer out of his hand.
Mangil opened his mouth and roared silently, then slashed three times in a row with his giant blade. Daxus dodged the first blow and blocked the second. For the third blow, Daxus rolled directly to Mangil's right side, pulled out the Tyrannosaurus tooth dagger from his shoe with his left hand, and stabbed it into Mangil's inner thigh. Daxus did not pull out the dagger, but chose to get out of the sweeping range of Mangil's giant blade. As Daxus expected, Mangil swept across, and only had some strength left when he swept in front of Daxus. Daxus held the hilt of the knife with his right hand and placed his left hand on the back of the knife, easily resisting the sweep.
Darkus suddenly gave Mangil a vicious smile.
When Darkeus blocked, Walter appeared behind Mangil and swung his leaf hammer directly at Mangil. Mangil heard the whistling sound behind him and immediately dropped his giant blade to dodge the leaf hammer attack. The leaf hammer was dodged this time, and Darkeus kicked Mangil in the back and then chopped Mangil's right elbow. After Walter used the leaf hammer to avoid the attack, he swung the leaf hammer back at a strange angle and hit Mangil's left elbow directly.
At this time, the bewitching poisonous miasma suddenly dissipated, as if it had never appeared.
Darkeus looked at the ring on Mangil's finger.
