Unknown Knight

Chapter 394 Bloodthirsty Battle

This repeated attack on the camp continued three or four times, and it was already the late night.

Although Aix pretended to sleep peacefully in the big tent, he actually couldn't fall asleep at all. The Nord archers kept shooting arrows and harassing him during the day, making him nervous all day long. When he thought he could have a good rest at night, the enemy kept attacking the camp.

At this moment, he only felt a stuffy feeling in his chest and a little itchy all over his body, but he couldn't find the specific itch, so he had nowhere to scratch. He felt indescribable discomfort, so he simply covered his head and went to sleep. However, he couldn't let go of the situation outside, and his ears unconsciously perked up to listen carefully.

Thanks to Nana's ears, which were strengthened, Axe's hearing was better than that of most people in the world, so any slight movement outside would alert him. However, the repeated attacks by the enemy on the camp tonight had made him extremely tired. His brain began to become dull and he was no longer disturbed by the outside world.

In a trance, Aix seemed to hear a low roar similar to that of a brown bear, but at this moment he was too tired to open his eyes. He thought he was dreaming and muttered:

"I haven't eaten steamed bear paws for a long time, so I made some to try that day..."

At this moment, a shout came from outside the tent:

"Who is it! Stop! It's the Berserker! Protect His Royal Highness! Protect His Royal Highness!"

The person who shouted was none other than Baron Nia, deputy captain of Aix's personal guard. She and Madam Sophia were divided into two shifts, day and night, and led the personal guards to closely protect Aix's safety.

As the leader of the Nord Shieldmaiden, Baron Nia was familiar with the situation of the Nords. He saw a group of people rushing out of the darkness. The three leading them were all giants over 1.8 meters tall, wearing bear-head hats on their heads and bare-chested. They either held two-handed giant axes or two heavy battle axes in both hands. Behind them were more than a dozen people, all big men in striped armor. Nia could tell at a glance that these people were the ceiling of individual combat power in the Calradia continent - the Nord Royal Guards.

However, the shock she felt from the dozen or so Nord Royal Guards was far less than that from the three leading men. These three men were roaring, making sounds similar to those of a brown bear, their eyes were red with a faint light, and they were baring their teeth, with saliva dripping down their chins.

When Nia saw them, her heart immediately began to shrink, and she couldn't help but yell out what she had just said, with a tone of genuine fear in her voice.

Others may not know, but Nia is very clear about it. As the top fighter of the Nords, she has an extraordinary pursuit of strength. She once longed to become a berserker and become the top fighter of the Nords. However, the high priest in charge of the selection told her that in order to become a berserker, the prerequisite is to have a body larger than an ordinary person and be extremely strong. As a woman, she is very strong, but far inferior to men, and does not meet the selection criteria for a berserker.

Although Nia did not select the Berserker in the end, she still knew a lot about Berserkers. It is said that every Berserker has to go through arduous training, and only after killing a brown bear with one's own hands and obtaining the brown bear's soul can one be awarded the title of Berserker.

Moreover, before each battle, these berserkers have to drink potions prepared by the high priest himself. After drinking these potions, the berserkers will enter a frenzy state, which not only greatly increases their strength and speed, but also makes them fearless of pain, extremely brave, bloodthirsty and cruel.

In one battle, Nia witnessed with her own eyes a berserker killing a small group of enemies, biting off their necks and gulping down their blood. The scene was unforgettable for her.

Now there are three such terrifying fighting forces appearing in front of the tent of her own prince. How can Nia not be panicked?

However, her shout also alarmed the guards around the big tent. The ten guards in front of the tent door quickly gathered together and formed a shield formation to protect the tent door. More than twenty guards quickly rushed out from the surrounding tents. In just a moment, they arrived in front of the big tent and guarded Aix's military tent tightly.

At this time, the sneak attacking enemy had come close. The three berserkers in the lead let out a loud roar like a brown bear and took the lead in rushing towards the guards who formed a dense shield formation.

There were three loud "bang! bang! bang!" sounds, and the three berserkers crashed into the shield formation heavily, causing the shield formation to shake and move backwards about a foot as a whole.

You should know that these guards are not ordinary people. They are carefully selected by the territory. Each of them is strong, loyal and reliable. Moreover, each of them has received one-on-one instruction from the shieldmaiden Nia, as well as the powerful generals of the territory such as Fatis and Resarit. The intensity of their usual training is several times that of ordinary soldiers.

High Priest James also used the divine artifact Nana to secretly strengthen the bodies of each of his guards by blessing them, bringing their physical fitness close to the peak of human beings.

Moreover, the territory also spent huge sums of money to tailor-make exclusive equipment for these guards. The full body armor they wear is made of fine steel, which is not only fit but also has amazing defensive power. Especially the giant shields in their hands, which are not only covered with fine steel on the outside, but also lined with iron birch wood that is as hard as steel. There are also buckles on the edges of the giant shields, so when forming a shield formation, adjacent giant shields can be tightly buckled to form an unbreakable whole.

Such a solid and integrated shield formation was pushed back about a foot by the Berserkers, which shows how powerful it was. The guards at the impact point were so shocked that their arms were shaking and they saw stars.

After the collision, the three berserkers were a little dazed. If it weren't for the effect of the potion, they would have felt bad too. They were even more surprised that they failed to break through the shield formation. They let out a howl of "Ah", obviously enraged. They swung the axes in their hands and chopped at the shield formation with a "bang bang bang". The flying sparks reflected their angry faces that were about to collapse, which looked very scary.

At the same time, a dozen Nord Royal Guards also rushed to the shield formation, and the axes in their hands slashed at the shield formation formed by giant shields.

You know, axe weapons have a bonus against shield attacks, but their arms were sore from chopping and their palms were numb from the vibration, but there was no sign of the shield formation being broken. Even though the fine steel on the outside of the giant shield was chopped to collapse or roll up, the thick iron birch inside still had very strong defensive power.

Although the guards behind the shields managed to withstand the enemy's attacks with the help of the giant shields, they were not feeling well either. Some of them had their arms drooping, which were obviously broken, but they used their bodies to hold up the giant shields. They were already bleeding from their mouths and noses due to the shock, and it was obvious that their lungs were injured.

Seeing that the shield array withstood the enemy's fierce attack, Nia finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly seized the opportunity to shout:

"Guards, kill!"

The guards who heard the deputy captain's order shouted "Roar" in unison, and then, as they had trained, used their bodies to push the huge shield forward. While pushing the shield, they shouted "Kill!" in unison.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Three loud shouts were accompanied by three shield strikes, which were so powerful, neat and powerful, like an overwhelming tidal wave, making the panting Nords in front of them stagger and retreat many steps in embarrassment.
