Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

Chapter 526: Double Attack

"Awwww——"

The howling of wolves came from all directions and had already surrounded us.

Fenlig also gritted his teeth, staring at the flying snow in front of him and let out a threatening growl.

"Letina, come to Torret first!" I said to Letina, who had difficulty walking, and she followed my instructions without any hesitation.

In the next second, in the hazy snowfield, a ball of blazing fire suddenly rushed out, flew onto Fenlig, and they began to wrestle with each other.

Sure enough, it was the red wolf of Radagon.

Following the charge horn of the leader wolf, the wolves also rushed forward with their fangs and claws bared.

Although the gray-white fur of these guys provided good cover in the snow, even if they pounced upon us, we would still have enough time to react. The real threat was...

Phew——

In the wind and snow, the horses' hooves gradually rose.

A dark figure suddenly charged forward, the flail in his hand clanking as he swung it towards the man's head.

I hastily dodged the attack.

What followed was a powerful blow from a long spear that was dragged across the snow.

Combat skill - hound step.

By moving at high speed, he barely avoided the opponent's halberd blade. When he turned around, the figures of the two Night Cavalrymen had already merged into the flying snow and wind.

——Damn it, in reality, the visibility in this icy snowstorm in the Holy Snowfield is even lower than in the game. It is completely impossible to see clearly beyond five or six meters.

"Letina, go help Fenlig. The red wolf's sleep resistance is not high. You can try to attack it with Torina's sleep arrows." I hurriedly gave the order, "Millicent, Pollyanna, please help me deal with these two night cavalrymen."

"Yeah." Millicent moved closer to me.

"Since you've asked me for help, it's not impossible for me to help you." Pollyanna was still as honest as ever.

"Thank you."

Da da da--

The sound of horses' hooves kept running around us, but we could only vaguely see their shadows in the wind and snow, making it impossible to tell where the Night Cavalry would launch their attack.

- Oh, this annoying ice and snow. If there were no visual obstruction, it would be easy for the three of us to deal with the two Night Riders.

Just as I was secretly complaining in my heart, the Night Cavalry holding halberds suddenly rushed towards us from the front.

Almost at the same time, the sound of the flail's iron chain was heard from behind.

They surrounded me from the front and back, and the speed of their horses was too fast. As soon as a black shadow emerged from the ice and snow, in the blink of an eye, the long spear was already slashing towards my head.

I then leaned back and heard the sound of a flail behind my ears. I quickly kicked my legs, but the flail still grazed my calves, causing me to fall to the ground.

Millicent and Pollyanna both dodged, but apparently because I fell to the ground, they quickly turned their horses' heads and rushed straight towards me instead of circling around to find an opportunity like before.

Da da da--

But at this moment, Millicent seemed to have adapted to the opponent's speed. The moment the Night Rider approached, she suddenly leaped towards the opponent.

Even the Night Rider seemed to have not expected that she could jump so high. She directly flipped over the halberd's swing and slashed the cavalryman's mask with a knife.

Pollyanna once again used the combat skill "broken steps" to dodge the flail cavalry. Then she opened her hands and two strands of insect silk shot out, skillfully entangled the opponent's flail.

"Well done, Polly..."

"what!"

Before I could finish praising her, Pollyanna was about to be dragged forward by the Night Riders, so she quickly pounced, helped catch the insect silk with one hand, and picked up the Night Fire with the other hand and poked it hard on the ground to help stop the vehicle.

If Pollyanna is still a female warrior who focuses on agility, I am now a real strong little man.

I guess even the flail rider didn't expect that he would be grabbed and held on to the flail. As a result, he was thrown off the horse by Pollyanna and I.

--good chance!

I was just about to use the hound step to quickly move forward and give the Night Rider who fell to the ground a finishing blow.

Unexpectedly, a huge burning fireball was thrown towards him, forcing him to dodge subconsciously.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out that it was not the red wolf of Radagon, but Fenrir who had activated the dragon blood in his body.

The red wolf was also afraid of the flames on Fenlig's body and did not dare to attack him closely. It opened its mouth and suddenly sprayed out a stream of magic debris like a broom star.

Fenlig dodged nimbly by jumping away, causing a large patch of white snow flowers to form in the snow. Then, he shook his head, and the rune light gathered to form a golden halberd, and then he rushed towards the red wolf again.

Red Wolf watched and was not willing to be outdone. He summoned a red magic sword and charged into battle with Fenlig.

And Letina, riding on Torret, also found an opportunity and shot a bunch of lavender arrows at the red wolf.

"Zero, Pollyanna, are you okay?" Millicent approached while cautiously looking around.

"Ah."

However, because Fenlig and the others interrupted them, the cavalrymen who had been dragged to the ground by Pollyanna and I took the opportunity to ride back on their horses and once again disappeared into the wind and snow.

——Once you have had this experience, it will be difficult to fall for the same trick again.

"We need to think of a way to pull them off their horses. Or should we focus on dealing with one at a time?" I suggested.

"Yeah," Millicent just agreed, but said in confusion, "Wait, they seem to be slowing down?"

"Hmm?" I also listened carefully. Indeed, as Millicent said, the footsteps of the two horses gradually slowed down. What was going on?

"Faded One, may I ask your name? Is it Zero?" One of the cavalrymen suddenly asked in a loud voice, "The one who led the expedition to the Giant Snowfield above, ignited the cauldron, and burned the golden tree, Zero."

“······You actually know me?” I was quite surprised.

The other party was silent for a moment, and actually walked over from the wind and snow, even dismounted and bowed slightly to apologize to us: "Since it is you, please forgive our brothers for our recklessness. We thought you were the malicious bloodthirsty people who appeared on the snowfield recently, so we came here to clean up."

Perhaps seeing that we were still a little confused, another knight explained, "The King of Blessing has ordered that if the Faded One named Zero appears in the Holy Snow Plain, we should do our best to help him."

——Teacher Mungert?!

Ah, speaking of which, the Night Cavalry was a fighting team led by the evil omen demon. After the Shattered War, they were assigned by Mungert to various areas for patrol and surveillance.

Just like the one in the forbidden area, he also helped me defeat the Black Sword followers guarding the Lord Grand Elevator.

Thinking about it this way, what Lani said was indeed correct.

After that battle, Teacher Mongget deliberately let me go.

Although Mongget put me in jail, probably because he wanted Vic, who had the same experience as me, to persuade me to calm down, but he actually didn't want me to sink completely. He even entrusted more hope to me, asking me to find a way to solve the problem of the fire, while he stayed to guard the royal city to buy time for me.

My heart couldn't help but warm up, and I clasped my fists towards the two knights and said, "Well, please give me your guidance."

"So, why don't you stop that red dog?" Pollyanna asked, pointing at the red wolf and Fenlig who were still fighting on the other side.

The knight shook his head. "It is said that the red wolf was left here by the 'Golden Hero' Radagon. It has nothing to do with us. The white wolf is also your companion? Do you need help?"

"No need," said Millicent, "they are already victorious."

The Red Wolf seemed a little dizzy and shaky. After all, he had been pierced by several of Tolina's sleeping arrows.

And Fenlig naturally would not miss this opportunity. He rushed forward, took on several shining swords, and then jumped up.

It spun in the air, like a falling fireball, biting the golden halberd in its teeth and chopped down the red wolf accurately.
