But at this critical moment.
He Wen looked through the gap in Eric's solid gauntlet and suddenly found a gleaming dagger stuck tightly to Eric's neck. This dagger is so sharp that it seems to be able to pierce through everything, making people shudder.
When Eric realized that something sharp seemed to be pressed against his neck, it was already too late.
The dagger was like a snake coming out of its hole, severing his throat fiercely. The skin that even a silver needle couldn't pierce was cut open easily by this humble dagger, and blood spurted out like a spring.
Eric was stunned for a moment, then his hand released from He Wen's cheek and covered his neck tightly.
A sharp pain hit him instantly, his eyes began to become bloodshot, and his whole body began to tremble.
Finally, he turned his head sharply, his eyes full of anger and confusion, and looked at the thin elf girl who was looking at him tremblingly.
"You...uh..."
Eric wanted to say something, but his throat had been cut and he couldn't say a word. His eyes were full of unwillingness and anger, burning like a flame.
"No, don't, don't, hurt... He Wen... you, no, human, you can't!!"
Shireen, the girl holding the dagger, her hands were stained red with Eric's blood. Her whole body was shaking like fallen leaves in the autumn wind.
Eric's eyes were staring at her, and the anger and disappointment seemed to penetrate her soul. Finally, Eric's body trembled violently, and then he fell to the ground.
He raised his head and looked at the sky. His hands dropped weakly, unable to stop the blood flowing from his neck.
This arrogant lord of Arnan County, the founder and commander of the South County Crusade, never thought that he would die at the gate of an orc village that he had despised for more than ten years. The village he once regarded as weak has now become his burial place.
He had thought that he would die in battle, but it would definitely be an earth-shattering battle.
However, reality taught him a cruel lesson.
He was unexpectedly attacked and killed by a weak elf. The elf's strength was so insignificant that he could be easily crushed to death with one hand.
This way of death was a great shame to him, and he could not accept such an ending.
Elves...elven beasts...
Eric suddenly thought of his purpose for coming to this forest, and then his face that had been twisted in pain slowly relaxed as if it had become numb.
Sure enough, elves are the eternal enemies of mankind.
Finally, the twitching of his body slowly stopped.
He Wen shook his still aching head, and then suddenly stretched out his hand to Eric on the ground. The moment Eric took his last breath, He Wen pulled his soul out of his body. .
[Congratulations to the host, a human soul has been harvested]
[This soul level: A level]
[A powerful soul will bring you considerable benefits. You can choose to keep this soul to refine the magic weapon, or you can choose to crush it now and absorb its power]
[At the same time, you can also make its soul into a bead. The bead allows you to strengthen your teammates and distribute the power of the soul to your teammates according to your wishes.]
He Wen ignored the system. He stood up and walked to Shirin's side with difficulty.
He first gently took the bloody dagger from Shireen's trembling hand, and then slowly embraced her into his arms. Her tears still kept falling, with endless fear and helplessness.
"He... He Wen, I, I... I'm afraid... I... I'm so scared..."
She sobbed intermittently, and even though she was held tightly by He Wen, her body was still shaking uncontrollably.
She raised her hands slightly, and when He Wen hugged her, she seemed to deliberately keep her hands away from He Wen's body, as if she didn't want the blood on her hands to stain He Wen's clothes.
"It's okay, it's okay."
Seeing this, He Wen slowly let go of Shilin, and then held her hand tightly.
"Thank you, thank you, Shireen, you saved me... Really, thank you."
"I...I do, can you help me...I..."
"You helped me, thank you..."
After saying that, He Wen hugged the elf girl tightly in his arms again. He was not just comforting the girl, but also really thanked her. If it hadn't been her just now.
My head may have been crushed by Eric Darren now.
He was too careless. He didn't understand the behavioral logic of the sixth-level warrior, and he didn't expect that the opponent could actually use a combat skill similar to returning to the light after suffering such serious injuries.
"Ugh...but, there's so much blood..."
"It's okay...I'll wash you, I'll clean you up. Are you hurt?"
He Wen looked at the girl with concern, and the girl shook her head with tears in her eyes.
"I...No, no injury, no pain..."
At this time, the Nanjun Crusaders were all in disarray after discovering that their legion commander and lord had been killed. The terror of the demon soldiers had already caused considerable turmoil in the originally well-formed army.
At this time, the backbone fell again, and the army immediately began to fall into panic.
"Lord!! The Lord is dead!!!"
"Impossible!! Absolutely impossible!!"
"I, I saw it with my own eyes!! The Lord's throat was cut by an elf!!!"
Various voices began to ring out among the South County Crusaders. Now they not only had to face these terrifying magic soldiers and the giant wolf, but also faced the death of the lord.
The disorganized Nanjun Crusaders were quickly put away by He Wen's demon soldiers. Thousands of cavalry were driven to death and fled in all directions. During this period, the Lord of the Forest also rejoined the battle, killing those who had left the team. A small group of cavalry was dragged into the deep pit.
Soon, the battlefield fell into a one-sided massacre. In the end, only more than 700 Nanjun Crusaders fled the forest in panic.
After confirming that the war was over, He Wen dared to breathe a sigh of relief.
He touched Shirin's head, and then looked at the magic soldiers in the distance who kept approaching them from all over the forest.
Shirin was so frightened by the thousands of demon soldiers that she trembled all over. He Wen protected her behind him and said, "Don't worry, they won't hurt you."
These magic soldiers are of different types, including orcs, human knights, and animals in the forest.
And they only did one thing after getting close to He Wen.
That's when they all knelt down.
The horses of the knights knelt down and saluted. In fact, they knelt down on one knee with their black flame swords in hand. The orcs also knelt on the ground, and the animals also lowered their heads towards He Wen.
He Wen nodded with satisfaction. As for the corpses scattered in the forest, he did not intend to harvest their souls for the time being. After all, in this war, he had to constantly harvest souls and create magic soldiers. This really consumes too much power. .
At this time, he already needed Shirin's support to stand up.
"Congratulations!"
Eve also ran over at this time.
"Didn't I ask Shalia to imprison you? Why did you escape?"
He Wen looked at Eve in confusion. Before he left the village, he specifically asked Shalia to keep an eye on Eve and never let her show up.
At this time, Shalia, who was slowly floating in the air, gave an explanation.
"Because I think it might not be a good idea to stay in the village now."
He Wen was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly understood something. He turned around for the first time in this war and faced the direction of the village.
At this time, the entrance to the village and the city walls were crowded with orcs.
They all looked at He Wen and his monster army with horrified eyes. Now their fear of He Wen was no less than their fear of the human knights.
He Wen sighed.
It seems that this village cannot stay any longer...
Just as he was thinking this, a familiar roar sounded from the entrance of the village.
"What the hell are you doing standing still! Didn't you see that the professor was injured!? Hurry up! Come out and help!"
The elders Huck and Harudo ran out of the village entrance with several strong orcs.
At the same time, Hal also rushed out with some orcs.
He Wen was a little confused. He stared blankly at the orcs who ran in front of him.
"Professor! I'm sorry... We were indeed frightened by your... power, but we know better than anyone else that you fought for us and for this forest, so for your We will never waver in our loyalty.”
Harudo said firmly.
At this time, the orcs who were still standing at the entrance of the village and on the city wall seemed to have figured out something after whispering to each other.
Finally they rushed out of the village together.
"Damn it! Let the devil be the devil! He saved us anyway!"
"He saved my child's life! Even if he is a devil! So what!"
"Humans will not be so kind to us!"
“If it weren’t for the professor, I would never be able to stand up in my fucking life!”
Looking at the orcs who rushed out to cheer for victory and greet him at the same time, He Wen's idea of leaving just now was slowly dispelled.
He smiled bitterly, slowly looked at the group of beasts, and then said with a hint of exhaustion in his voice.
"Now...you are free."
