There have been several trumpets blown before, and most of them are dozens of evil beasts attacking the border one after another, and the militia team has been able to deal with it skillfully.

So Roland didn't panic, he announced that he would interrupt his training, let Wendy and Lightning go back to the castle to rest, Anna protected Nanava to go to the medical treatment and wait for the wounded, and he and Nightingale rushed to the city wall.

Unexpectedly, Lightning protested, "As an explorer, I have been in the western part of the continent for so long, and I haven't seen a large-scale evil beast attack with my own eyes, and I am ashamed of my identity to say it." I asked to come along!"

Roland refused the protest without hesitation, and instructed Wendy to keep an eye on the lightning and strictly forbid her to run around while the beasts were raging.

Then he looked at the nightingale, who nodded, stepped forward and grabbed Roland's hand, stepped into the mist, and headed straight in the direction of the city walls, which Roland had immediately become obsessed with since he knew that the nightingale could bring contact objects into the mist. Straight through obstacles, ignoring the terrain, taking a few meters at a time, quite the thrill of letting me go in a square inch.

Arriving at the foot of the city wall, Roland found a corner where no one was there to get out of the fog and walked up to the defense line alone. The field in the distance was snow-white, and he didn't see the beast attacking. This is a false alarm? Not only did he think so, but there was also a lot of discussion among the militia units that had taken up their positions one after another.

The prince found the iron axe, only to find him staring into the distance with a serious face, still holding the horn tightly in his hand.

"You blew the alarm?"

"Yes, Your Highness, look......" his voice was much drier than usual, "the guy is coming. ”

Roland looked into the distance, and saw a faint black spot at the end of his line of sight, which was difficult to spot even against a pure white background. According to the regulations, the assembly horn will only be sounded if it is determined that the patrol cannot solve the problem. But as an experienced hunter, Iron Axe must have a point.

"It's a hybrid," he swallowed, "the one I met six years ago." ”

Really? Roland frowned, theoretically all of the beasts would die during the attack on the fortress of Changge - they had no intelligence, and there was no concept of retreat in their heads. The fortress had never been breached, but it hadn't died, and it had survived until six years later?

However, at such a distance, he could only faintly see black spots, but the iron axe could clearly distinguish the type of evil beast, and this vision was too amazing. Perhaps, he was mistaken, the prince thought.

The beast didn't keep Roland waiting long, it began to move closer to the wall, and soon everyone noticed the unique target.

It is not as large as the previous hybrid species, and at first glance it looks like an enlarged version of a feline, but it has a pair of fleshy wings on its back that are hidden on both sides of the torso when not deployed. The head resembles that of a lion, but it has two pairs of eyes - if the extra pair of eyes is not ornamental, it can catch most of the movement in the rear without turning its head.

Carter and several hunters had loaded their ammunition and were ready for battle.

But the lion hybrid didn't go straight up, it stopped outside the range of its crossbow and looked around.

This distance is within the effective range of the flintlock pistol, but the chance of a starting hit is almost zero.

It didn't take long for it to leap to its left, its wings spreading, and its massive body soared throughout. As the Iron Axe says, it can fly short distances or glide. After overcoming the obstacles, the hybrid beast quickly ran towards the undefended section of the western end of the wall.

Roland chuckled in his heart, and he didn't know how to check it. Being able to judge the strength of an opponent by observation and to choose where to strike is a testament to intelligence - and this is exactly what the beast lacks. They will occasionally attack the weakness of their prey, but that is a thousand-year-old instinct that makes it impossible to judge when faced with an unknown adversary, let alone a comprehensive analysis of multiple targets.

What does it mean to have intelligence? Human beings, with their excellent brains and outstanding endurance, have gone from the hairy and blood-drinking steppes to the top of the biological chain. Roland didn't dare to think about it any longer, he beckoned, telling the chief knight to follow him, and the other hunters followed the iron axe to snipe the beast.

It ran to the no-man's land, leaped straight up, climbed the wall with ease, and ran towards the residential area, completely ignoring the Orions.

"Brute!" Roland scolded, "the people of the second wall section of the militia, come with me." The substitutes are on top and guarding the city walls for the time being!"

At this point, he didn't care about the militia and had only been trained to stab in place, and it was likely that the team would become disjointed and attacked by the beasts when he moved. Carter also led the guards to follow the prince closely, their individual combat strength was the strongest, ready to fill any gaps that might arise, and at the back of the team was the musket team led by Iron Axe.

After entering the old area, the view is blocked by bungalows, and the roads are narrow and covered with snow, so the movement of people is greatly restricted. Roland did not dare to scatter the team and search, so he could only make his way through the alleys, hoping to find the trace of the evil beast.

He regretted not bringing the lightning with him, and if there were a witch scouting in the air, a crowd would not be scurrying around like headless flies.

After searching for about half an hour, the screams of the townspeople suddenly came from the depths of the alley.

The team immediately shifted direction and scurried towards the source of the sound. Thanks to the fact that the militia were mostly residents of the old district, with a clear purpose, they skillfully traversed the trails and even waded through the backyards of other people's homes. When he arrived at the scene of the incident, Roland saw a man who had been bitten in two and his internal organs were scattered on the ground, apparently dead.

"Oh my God...... It's an iron fork, I know him!"

"Damn, did it run?"

"Watch out! Look to the right!" suddenly someone shouted. Before he could finish speaking, a black shadow swept out of the wooden house on the right, accompanied by scattered pieces of wood, it slammed straight through the wall of the wooden house, and pounced into the unprepared ranks, pressing down a militiaman with its front paws, opening its mouth to bite.

Iron Axe was the first to react, he wanted to raise his gun to shoot, but found that the scattered militia team blocked the alley, and he had no suitable opportunity to fire, so he had to squeeze through the crowd and walk in the direction of the target step by step. The other hunters found the same problem, and they all tucked their guns under their armpits, jumped up and buckled the eaves, and climbed to the roof of the house two or three times.

The hybrid didn't care about the spear that stabbed him, it spread its wings to block the panicked stabbing of the crowd, and the gun went off as it picked up the bloodied militiaman and prepared to leap away.

Several black blood flowers suddenly appeared on the monster's body.

The bridled that had been hit by the lead pellet roared angrily, and it shook off its prey from its mouth, spreading its wings to pounce on the hunter on the roof, and the iron axe just squeezed out of the crowd, and he quickly raised his gun in front of the beast and pulled the trigger.

There was no chance of missing a shot that was almost close to the face, and the gas of gunpowder even sprayed on the monster's nose. The bullet continues to eject from the chamber, passing straight through the target's eye and into the skull.

The hybrid beast stiffened and fell to the ground.
