Chapter 19: Alley Battle (2)

  However, although Raymond's crisis has been temporarily alleviated, the situation on the entire battlefield is already very unfavorable.

  Raymond and his men were attacked from both sides, relying on the narrow streets to barely hold their ground. However, with limited numbers, they suffered heavy casualties under the alternating attacks of the wolf cavalry and the lion tribe people. It was only thanks to Robard's continuous use of Bloodlust, Iron Skin, and Mass Shamanism that they managed to hold on until now.

  But the spell assistance obviously cannot make up for the difference in strength, as more and more enemies rush in, the defensive battle becomes a big melee. Even if all the Minotaur warriors use their racial special skill Berserk, they still can't turn the tide of defeat.

  At this time, Robad, who was in the center of the defensive circle protecting the seriously injured Amada, knocked a lion tribe member to the ground with his staff. He was about to cast another shamanic spell when a wolf cavalryman broke through the obstruction of the Minotaur warriors and rushed up from behind, his battle knife slashing down fiercely.

  In the nick of time, Robard barely managed to bow his head and shield Amada, but his back was slashed with a vicious blow. Robard let out a stifled groan and fell to his knees.

  A Lion Tribe commander saw this and was overjoyed, hastily shouting: "Quickly charge for me, kill Amada!"

  The remaining enemies hurriedly strengthened their offensive, and in an instant, several Minotaur warriors fell. Seeing his mother in danger, Raymond rushed towards Robard, but due to the siege of many enemies, he could not get close, and the situation became extremely critical for a while.

  Just as their lives were hanging by a thread, suddenly, from the rooftops on both sides, countless torches flew out like shooting stars and fell into the enemy's midst.

  Suddenly encountering such a change, the enemy was in a state of panic, especially the war wolves. Due to the large number of torches thrown in, they were instinctively frightened and the wolf cavalry group was instantly chaotic.

  Immediately afterwards, countless dog-headed men suddenly emerged from the rooftop. They held long spears, rusty swords and other crude weapons, making strange cries as they jumped down from the wall and launched a surprise attack on the rebels, with some dog-headed men even using stones and short bows to attack from the rooftop.

  Compared to the elite warriors of the Wolf Riders and Lion Tribe, the Dog Heads' combat strength was nothing to write home about. But they had the advantage of numbers, and with a sudden surprise attack, their long spears and rusty swords came crashing down in a chaotic mess, causing heavy casualties among the rebels.

  But that was not all, for with a loud clamor, another large group of dog-headed men poured out from the streets behind. Taking advantage of the enemy's confusion and disorder due to the sudden attack, these dog-headed men launched an assault on the rebels from behind.

  It's really a case of the wheel turning, and the rebels have thoroughly collapsed after tasting the flavor of being sandwiched. They were trapped in the torrent of dog-headed people, with war wolves howling and lion-like men roaring, but wherever they went, there were only the short shadows of dog-headed people, and from all directions, weapons were summoned to attack them.

  "Are you mad, dog-heads? Do you know the consequences of defying Lord Verona?" a furious Wolf Rider commander demanded, but before he could get an answer, he was dragged to the ground by the surging dog-heads.

  Faced with the sudden arrival of reinforcements, Raymond's gang was also stunned. A Minotaur soldier's words represented everyone's inner voice: "When did the Dog Heads become so brave?"

  "Your Majesty, are you alright? I apologize for the late rescue... please forgive me." Just then, a strange voice echoed and several dog-headed men emerged from a large group of dog-headed people, parting the crowd to come before them.

  Not to mention that extremely obsequious and bizarre universal language, just the decorations that are hidden in a large crowd of the same kind, but exceptionally eye-catching, are enough to let people know who is coming.

  "Dave?" Robard and Raymond looked at each other in confusion.

  Rushing to the front, he saw Amada lying in Robard's arms, gasping for breath. The Dog Head Tribe leader's eyes suddenly welled up with tears: "Could it be that I'm really one step too late? Has Your Majesty the Queen left me?"

  "Hey, don't casually curse people to death." Raymond really wanted to kick this crow's mouth.

  At this time, Amada suddenly opened her eyes and weakly said: "Dave, is that you?"

  Dave stood up excitedly and stuttered: "Y-yes, Your Majesty Amada, your most loyal Dave has brought the entire city's Dog Heads to rescue you."

  "How did you find us?" Robard couldn't help but ask.

  Dave said with a proud smile: "I mobilized all the dog-headed people in Gouyacheng to find Your Majesty. Your Majesty, please rest assured that from now on your safety will be guarded by me, and our dog-headed clan will completely break with those traitors."

  Watching the frail Dave making a generous and heroic appearance, the feather decorations on his head swaying back and forth, despite still being in danger, everyone couldn't help but burst out laughing. Even Amada couldn't hold back a snort of laughter, then immediately furrowed her brow due to stirring up her wound.

  Only Raymond didn't laugh, he was very clear that for the Dog Head tribe, who had always been looked down upon, it took a lot of courage to do so. Just thinking about it, if Yviro's rebellion succeeded, they might be exterminated, and he couldn't smile anymore.

  So, despite the foolish, weak and vain Dave's ridiculous behavior, Raymond's heart was filled with admiration. They, who were always looked down upon as trash, had performed in a way that would make many beastmen ashamed at this critical moment.

  Unfortunately, even his own mother did not realize this.

  Seeing Raymond's unusual expression, the cat girl who was grinning from ear to ear couldn't help but ask in confusion: "Young Master, what's wrong?"

  Just as Raymond was about to speak, another loud noise suddenly came from the chaotic rebel army. Before long, dozens of blood-soaked Minotaur-like creatures rushed towards this side.

  As soon as Robard appeared, one of the officers exclaimed in surprise: "High Priest, you are indeed here."

  Robard was also startled: "Jules, how did you get here?"

  The Minotaur officer, called Zuru, said: "We accidentally bumped into these dog-headed people. They said they were coming to rescue Your Majesty, so we tried to come and take a look. We didn't expect you to be here."

  He said with a sorrowful tone: "High Priest, our troops were ambushed by the Wolf Riders and the Lion Men, we have been completely annihilated, only us few managed to escape."

  Although he had expected that his troops would not escape the rebellion unscathed, Old Ox Head's face still fell at Juel's words.

  Only then did Zhu hear the urgent words: "As we rushed here, we saw from afar that many enemies were heading this way. Please, Your Majesty, hurry and leave immediately, or you will be surrounded."

  It is clear that what has appeared here has already attracted the attention of the main rebel forces in the city.

  Everyone was shocked, Robard hastily picked up Amada: "Then let's hurry and go."

  Dave also jumped up: "We Dog Head People will definitely protect Your Majesty!"

  At this time, Amada suddenly beckoned to Doghead, and Dave immediately ran over with a thud.

  "Just listen to her say: 'Dave, you did a great job this time, thanks to you I was able to escape, I'm very happy.'"

  All the dog-headed men below Dave were excited and wagging their tails wildly.

  "So, now I have an important task that I'd like to entrust to you."

  "What is it? Please go ahead and tell me." Dave said excitedly.

  "There are many enemies coming after us, can you stay here and hold them off for me?" Amada asked the dog-headed man in a softer tone than she had ever used before.

  Dave thought for a moment and then replied: "Of course... of course..."

  Suddenly, he seemed to understand what Amada wanted him to do, and his face turned white: "You mean, we have to fight all the werewolves, lion people, and those Bimon people?"

  "Yes, only with the brave Dog Heads holding them off can I survive." Amada continued in a soft voice: "Didn't you swear to protect me? Now I'm counting on you all."

  Facing the queen who had never been so gentle to him, Dave's blood rushed up, and he patted his chest, saying: "No... no problem, we Dog Head people never break our promises. Your Majesty, I will definitely take your place and block those pursuers for you."

  Amada nodded in satisfaction, and then her eyes turned cold as she ordered the crowd: "Leave this to the Dog Head people, we'll head to the West City Gate immediately."

  Raymond was well aware what Amada's order meant, the loyal and devoted Dog Heads who had rushed to her side would be discarded in an instant, abandoned here. If the rebel main force arrived, not one of these Dog Heads would survive.

  But no one thought there was anything wrong with this, because the beastmen had long been accustomed to using the dog-headed people as sacrifices. In their view, as long as they could block the rebels, even if the entire dog-headed tribe died, it would not be a pity.

  The ox-headed men all responded in unison and were about to escort Amada away.

  Raimon walked a few steps, then turned back and whispered to Dave: "We will escape from the west gate, Mom told me to tell you that she will never abandon the brave Dog Head people, we will wait for you outside the city to leave together."

  Dave was so moved that he was choked with sobs, and he stuttered: "I knew Her Majesty the Queen wouldn't just throw us away like others."

  As he spoke, he fiercely tore off the feathers on his head, gritting his teeth and swearing: "I, Dai Fu, must hold back those rebels and let Her Majesty the Queen live!"

  Then, the generous and enthusiastic tribal leader exposed himself: "Then, escape with Your Majesty..."

  Looking at the dog-headed people who were boiling with enthusiasm because of their own fabricated words, Raymond could only sigh silently, what a simple and foolish bunch.

  He didn't do this out of mere sympathy. Unlike other beastmen's attitude towards dog-head people, Ramon was very clear about the kind of power these humble beings, who were treated as trash, represented. So, within his capabilities, he at least had to find a way to keep Dave alive.

  He whispered a few more words to Dave and then hurried after the others. Behind them, Dave's loud cry echoed: "Protect Her Majesty the Queen!"

  The dog-headed people let out a loud, ear-piercing but passionate cry in unison.
