That Dazzling Blue Light
Hidden in the woods on both sides of the valley are beings that even Chen Mo must be wary of.
Without human interference, the trees here grow tall and lush, their dense foliage concealing everything within. Yet, Chen Mo, with his keen senses, can clearly see through the gaps in the branches and leaves the large number of werewolves hidden in the canopy.
Many werewolves hid deep in the forest, beyond Chen Mo's sight, but their heavy breathing and strong heartbeats were detected by Chen Mo's keen hearing.
According to the information he received, there were at least more than a hundred werewolves hiding in the woods!
Even if Chen Mo were to encounter this number of werewolves alone, it would be extremely dangerous.
Although he had Adamantium Armor, which could withstand most of the werewolves' attacks, there were simply too many of them. If they swarmed him, Chen Mo wouldn't be able to completely stop them with just the King's Sword.
Once they get close, with their strength being three or four times that of an ordinary person, a dozen of them working together would be enough to overwhelm Chen Mo, and he would truly become a lamb to the slaughter.
This armored combat suit is not Iron Man's armor after all. It has strong local defense, Adamantium Armor plates are enough to withstand any attack.
However, the connection between the armor plates is the weak point of the entire combat suit. Although Chen Mo has minimized the gaps through special design and the connection with bulletproof fibers is enough to withstand the attack of swords, it does not have the support and defensive function of a real Iron Man suit.
In other words, the pressure from the front and back of the body cannot be offset by the armor support.
If Chen Mo were to fall under the werewolf's control, he could very well have his arm bitten off through his armor by the werewolf's incredibly powerful teeth, or his neck twisted off, or even have its claws pierce through the only unarmored spot and into Chen Mo eyes.
Therefore, these astonishingly large numbers of werewolves could completely threaten Chen Mo's life.
As for the Knights, it was even more dangerous. Although the Knights were numerous, well-equipped, and far more powerful than ordinary Knight, such a number of werewolves were still very dangerous to them.
Although their armor was far more robust than that of ordinary Knight of this era, it still could not completely withstand the werewolves' fangs and claws. Even if they were to win in the end, the result would inevitably be heavy casualties.
It should be noted that when Chen Mo usually sends out Knight to exterminate werewolves in his territory, he always sends out five to ten times the number of werewolves as Knight to ensure safety. It takes one Black Iron Knight leading four squire Knight who are also fully armored to ensure that a werewolf is eliminated without any casualties.
If this ratio were reduced to three times its current size, there would inevitably be massive losses, not to mention that they are now in a valley, surrounded and attacked by werewolves hiding in the woods, who are high above them. The Knight's speed and charging advantage cannot be fully utilized. Once this World War I breaks out, the casualties will be heavy.
Actually, Chen Mo really wanted to fight these werewolves one-on-one.
When Chen Mo first rescued Andrew and the others, although there were dozens of werewolves attacking the village, they were scattered and easily killed by Chen Mo. Only the dozen or so werewolves that besieged the stone house at the end made him feel some pressure. In the short but intense battle, his strength improved a little.
Chen Mo felt he was improving in his subsequent battles with werewolves, but the largest number of werewolves he encountered was only about twenty. They put Chen Mo under pressure but did not pose a great danger, so his strength improved very little, and his mental strength improved even more.
There are over a hundred werewolves gathered here this time, and Chen Mo believes that this battle will bring him even greater gains.
Although it is indeed dangerous, his combat skills and mental strength, which are directly related to his time-travel ability, improve very slowly through regular training. Only through life-or-death trials can he improve rapidly.
Besides, he wasn't recklessly taking risks without considering the consequences. Even if he encountered a crisis, he still had backup plans.
If Chen Mo were alone, he would not hesitate to draw his longsword and launch an attack.
But that won't work now, because his three hundred Knight are still here.
Once the battle breaks out, Chen Mo will be unable to ensure the safety of the Knights. Under the siege of such a large number of werewolves, the Knights will inevitably suffer heavy casualties, which is unacceptable to Chen Mo.
Chen Mo had spent a lot of time and energy cultivating these loyal subordinates, and the results were remarkable. He was very satisfied with both their loyalty and combat effectiveness. He had no patience to spend a lot of time cultivating a new batch of subordinates.
Moreover, in this chaotic world, there are a great many werewolves. Even if he misses this opportunity, there will be many more werewolves for him to kill in the future. Compared to that, these limited number of subordinates are more valuable.
Various thoughts flashed through Chen Mo's mind, and he quickly made a decision.
Looking at the large number of werewolves hidden in the surrounding trees, Chen Mo shook his head with some regret, reached into his robe and pulled out two cool-looking silver pistols.
"Werewolves! Form a circular defensive formation!"
With Chen Mo's shout, the Knights who were on guard were startled. Judging from Chen Mo's tone, there must be a lot of werewolves. Encountering an attack by werewolves in the forest would be very disadvantageous for them.
The cavalry's speed advantage cannot be utilized, preventing them from launching a powerful charge, while the agile werewolves can use the surrounding trees to launch surprise attacks, making better use of their agility advantage.
A shadow fell over everyone's hearts, but under Chen Mo's command, they quickly shrank their formation, gathered together in an orderly fashion, and formed a circular defensive array.
The Knight on the periphery held a sword in one hand and a shield in the other, ready to defend against the werewolf's attack at any moment. The Knight behind them sheathed Knight longswords, gripped their lances with both hands, and pointed the tips diagonally upwards, ready to deliver a fatal blow to the werewolf.
The Knight in the middle picked up the crossbow hanging on the side of his saddle, quickly loaded it with an arrow, and pointed it at the woods on the hillsides on both sides.
Just as everyone was on high alert, gripping their weapons and intently observing their surroundings, guarding against the werewolves' attacks, Chen Mo launched the first attack before the werewolves lurking in the woods could.
A dazzling blue beam shot out from the muzzle of Chen Mo's gun, instantly covering a distance of dozens of meters and hitting a werewolf hiding among the dense branches of a tree.
Under the astonished gazes of the Knight who witnessed this miracle, the enormous werewolf was burned to ashes, which were instantly scattered into the air by the wind and disappeared without a trace.
Immediately afterwards, even denser beams of light shot from Chen Mo's hand into the trees on both sides, illuminating the huge figures of the werewolves hiding there.
