在金蝗城的守城戰之中，獸人軍團中出現了高大的攻城獸人，想要一舉把金蝗城的城門用鐵錘轟破！
第一箭，露西是瞄準那頭衝在最前的鬣狗，箭矢破空，如割裂氣流的音鋒，正中其眼窩，那頭猛獸翻身倒地，獸人騎手被拋出馬鞍，在空中還未落地便迎來了第二箭，而且是一箭封喉。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVl9ezKV1m
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlm90qPPFC
第三箭、第四箭、第五箭…… 箭無虛發，宛如森林之神的審判。鬣狗尖叫、獸人嘶吼，在這片岩坡前如浪花碎裂。每一箭都找準破綻，或穿透關節、或斷筋裂骨，讓衝鋒中的騎兵隊瞬間陷入混亂。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCqJzNoua8
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrszcqzwyil
當敵軍衝至十步之內，已經只剩不到半數倖存者，他們怒吼著跳下座騎，雙手持斧或鐵棍，瘋狂朝著山坡上的人類小隊衝刺而來。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHMRkzeU7e

「輪到我來發威了。」泰倫斯低聲道，雙眼泛起冰冷的光芒。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11qUTYwtXD
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTY0MNq5Ha
他從腰間拔出龍骨聖刀——那把以千年黑龍之肋骨所鑄的寬刃長刀，刃上隱約流轉著熔岩般的紅光，彷彿潛伏著古老的怒火。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFATXLK1JG
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryqKxbGWu3
泰倫斯迎向獸人步兵，如狂風捲入火場。他腳步穩如山石，每一次出刀皆精準無比。第一個獸人舉棍怒吼，他側身閃避，反手一刀自肋下斬出，連皮甲與脊骨一同劈開。第二名敵人尚未站穩，他已躍起旋身，聖刀劃出半月弧光，直接斬下其頭顱，鮮血在晨光中灑出如花。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kzhURliGy
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacxE5aifwJ
他不是狂戰士，而是一位受過精銳訓練的軍官，每一招都計算得如戰棋落子般冷酷。第三、第四、第五名敵人接連撲上，泰倫斯腳下變幻如影，招招奪命，聖刀在敵陣間翻舞，如死神手中的鐮刀。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrsCdPQjaF
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymIAEIypXl
不過片刻，地上便橫陳著滿地屍骸與碎裂的甲片，那些倖存的鬣狗早已夾尾逃去，獸人戰士們的怒吼轉為了哀鳴與恐懼。剩下三名逃兵試圖往林中退卻，但一記銳響，再次劃破空氣——露西最後一箭，從背後洞穿一名獸人的心口，將他釘死在一棵歪脖老樹之上。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaWpnAI9k9
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsyYZfN88t
泰倫斯立於戰場中央，血濺在鎧甲之上，他深吸一口氣，長刀點地，仿佛雷霆已歸於寧靜。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgclQiPDoL
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEqXaPj2l5
「清理完畢。」他冷冷地說。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWdT15p9cf

夸斯特點頭，眼神掃過地上殘骸，低聲道：「城中人應該也看見了。現在，他們會知道——這一場戰役，他們並不孤單。」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofMMns1QTv
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJIe0aAF6O
伊莉莎站在他身後，法杖微垂，臉色有些蒼白，但雙眼依舊堅定。她看著血光未散的戰場，緩緩道：「我們繼續推進吧。趁著城門尚未潰陷之前。」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOWtDtofuL

金蝗城的古堡佇立於中央高地，厚重的灰石牆上滿佈歲月的風蝕與戰火的痕跡，仿若一位滿身傷痕卻仍堅守疆土的老將。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGLpfMZDPQ
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5QzsZWLbJ
艾利歐特、蓋達、塔庫魯與派緹翻越內牆，借戰局混亂與古老的地道之利，悄然潛入城內。城中守備並不鬆懈，在主塔門前就遭遇了數名全副武裝的步兵。待艾利歐特亮出伊莉莎公主給的象徵王室信任的銀徽，並說明來意後，那些眼神戒備的士兵才稍稍鬆弛。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzualR0jCWs

「你們是從山坡來的外援？」守備長，一位銀鬚灰甲、聲音沙啞的中年將領從石階後現身，目光如鷹般銳利。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdqmjFIO8P
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexTnTYki4p
「沒錯，我們是受命協助你們防衛金蝗城的部隊之一，」艾利歐特沉穩地回答，「雖人數不多，但可望在關鍵時刻提供火力與支援。」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡht611DkKum
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTu5GRpmXce
將領正欲回應，便聽得遠處鼓聲急促，號角如巨獸悲鳴，一聲接一聲傳來。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTb7n55OZ99

數十盞火炬點亮夜空，伴隨而來的是沉重的腳步聲。獸人的攻城部隊自夜色中浮現，猶如鐵流奔湧。最令人驚駭的是——破城獸人——那是高達四公尺的巨型獸人亞種，體型如樓、肌肉虯結，手中握著用魔石強化的鐵槌與撞柱。牠們吼聲震天，如同怒潮拍岸，步步向金蝗城逼近。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTZQvmtgwh

「我們來不及組織反擊了！」守備長怒聲咆哮。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrlEtZ7ry8
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLUlID2qtm
「我上去！」派緹早已挽起長弓，身後箭囊裡插滿了三十多根的手製箭羽，能在命中後，透過口念咒語引發熾熱爆炎。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuN20lacGQ
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnw5Ekhdcv
她飛奔上城牆，站上缺口最寬的女牆。月光下，她彷如戰場之妖精，眉目如霜，雙眼閃爍著冷焰。她深吸一口氣，拉滿長弓，吟詠咒文。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GDW4XrAzY

「破魔～～～！」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMakFqToSRu

第一箭飛出，如流星墜落，命中一名破城獸人的胸甲，下一瞬，爆炸的火焰將牠連同周圍數名步卒吞沒。碎石飛濺，獸人哀號。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2RKYL9M5i
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMIreQ85ky
第二箭、第三箭…… 每一箭都精準無比，爆裂聲震耳欲聾，獸人的陣形被迫緩了三分，攻城架與撞柱一時無法推進。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoRAywAfTw
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohRZLf2fbh
「她得再撐久一點……」蓋達低聲說，雖然傷勢尚未痊癒，但他雙手已握緊雙劍，堅定地站在城牆內側。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGz57vtfOyr

隨著獸人長官一聲令下，兩架粗製卻巨大的木石投射機從黑暗中緩緩推進，巨石呼嘯而至，一枚石彈砸向派緹所站的城垛，將整段牆面炸裂，濃煙與塵土中，她跌落在地，險些從牆頭摔下。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXrlmQgz84
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LMMebi5Ke
「派緹！」蓋達怒吼一聲，衝上前將她拉住，抵住她後方的塌牆。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6mQ80G3US
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNCVAQjzpr
就在下一枚石彈呼嘯而至時，一道身影猛然擋在他們面前。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgTXYtuD7Q
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9eW9aFVNX
是塔庫魯。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6CNE8tjdg
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtOD3RI8x4
那位沉默寡言的鐵斧戰士，此刻如一堵黑鐵鑄成的城牆般屹立。他雙臂如盤龍，一斧劈下，將落石擊偏，碎裂成數塊飛石。他咬牙抵抗著衝擊，腳步不退。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Lb80kdr0i
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiuWPIPWld
「想動我們的射手，得先跨過我這把斧子。」塔庫魯冷冷地說。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDl2fCAANny
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswrZ7uSshD
獸人投石車持續轟擊，但派緹已在蓋達掩護下重新站穩，重新將背後箭囊內的箭羽抽出來搭上了『哈勒之弓』，眉頭緊鎖，語聲急促地説：「塔庫魯、蓋達，幫我擋三秒——我送他們上西天！」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaX1uwhrII

兩人齊聲應道：「三秒，夠了！」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGF1TnXGIH

「破魔～～～！」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYR0rir4yA
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNShcTWDhr
箭矢刺破夜空，劃出一道弧光，正中投石車的主軸核心。整架機械在一聲轟然巨響中爆成火球，周圍獸人如草木橫飛。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYA9R5wR33S
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjG55FDdaWa
另一架投石車見狀竟自行後撤，獸人攻勢再次被遏制。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nK9ORnAsq

守備長驚異地望著城頭燃燒的黑焰與那一男一女、一斧一弓的組合，忍不住低聲道：「這幾個人……不是什麼普通的援軍啊。」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzj4EgR22td

艾利歐特隨著副官穿越金蝗城深處的石磚長廊。火把搖曳在牆上，映出斑駁的牆面與古老的盾徽。他步履穩健，然而在這座受圍城池的心臟地帶，沉重的空氣中彷彿連時間也變得凝滯。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUEgWR1KdT
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxP1B4nyfWE
他被引領至王堡頂層的圓頂廳堂，那是一間富麗卻已略顯老舊的議事室，窗外可以望見城牆煙霧瀰漫的天際。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpVqG18E1O

金蝗城的城主——古柏——坐於高背的橡木椅上。他滿頭銀髮，肌膚枯槁如老橡皮紙，但雙眼仍炯炯有神，如同冰霜中閃爍的藍鋼。他身披繡有金線的袍子，手指緊扣著權杖，彷彿片刻也不願鬆懈這塊領土的守護者身份。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4CdiL8DCS
