Chapter 278 Dangerous
Perhaps because of the wind and snow, there were extremely obvious horse hoof prints on the thin snow on the road leading to the town.
There was a language mixed in the wind and snow that Kane could not understand. It seemed to be the language used by those crazy humans.
Sneaking in from an alley.
Get closer to the source of the sound.
Look carefully.
Only four light cavalry were seen, wearing light armor and riding on war horses, with several dried heads pinned to the backs of the war horses.
The armors on these knights were also covered in blood and the stench of blood.
Behind the knight were two teams of 12-man infantry teams.
And 8 of them carried bows and arrows on their backs and crossbows on their waists.
They stood in a neat line, and a light cavalryman riding a war horse was talking to the town administrator.
Obviously these human beings have fallen into madness, but they still retain a certain social system. Their madness seems to only target those relatively normal people.
And now in this space, the only normal people are Kane and the others.
Why do regular soldiers suddenly come to the town? It is almost certain that they are here to cause trouble for Kane and the others.
Kane and the others have been wreaking havoc in this town for six days. Someone should have gone to the city in the middle and called for support.
These soldiers also bear the emblem of that city.
It's exactly the same as the emblem on the city mark in the center on Kane's map.
As if the conversation was over, the manager of the small town in the snow took the soldiers to a certain building.
Seeing them leave, Kane disappeared into the night.
Hearing the slight howl coming from outside, Claire moved the barrier blocking the entrance of the cave.
The giant wolf shook off the wind and snow and got into the cave entrance.
"You're back, how are you? Did you find anything?" Claire asked Kane.
The wolf had a very human and solemn expression on his face.
"We will leave as soon as the wind and snow subside tomorrow morning. A group of regular soldiers entered the town, four light cavalry and many long-range soldiers. Such a force is invincible to us now. Once caught by them,
If we stay here, our exploration will be over."
After hearing Kane's words, Claire nodded seriously.
If you just have ordinary soldiers, that's okay, because if you can't defeat them, you can at least run away.
But with light cavalry on war horses, it would be dangerous. Except for Claire's certain advantage in speed, Kane would most likely be overtaken before he could escape.
At that time, it will be dangerous.
Claire blocked the entrance to the cave again, and now the night blizzard kept restricting their movements at night. They could only take a good rest and be in good condition to face the day.
…
"Ding!"
A crisp sound came from the cave.
Listening to this sound, Claire and Kane woke up immediately.
This is a warning trap set by Kane, and now the sound sounds to indicate that the trap has been triggered.
Kane rushed out of the cave, and Claire also picked up Lilulu and followed closely.
The wind and snow outside are still there, but they have calmed down a lot compared to late at night. It seems that the night is almost over.
Kane stood in the snow, his ears erect and trembling, trying to distinguish the strange sounds coming from the distance from the roar of the wind.
The crisp sound of horse hooves and the sound of armor scraping against each other.
Kane didn't expect that.
The soldiers who arrived in the town last night actually started searching the forest before the snow stopped.
The warning trap just now was triggered, and it was very likely that it was discovered by these soldiers. It was not that he was not confident enough in his trap, but that he completely trusted Aiklon's quality.
How could it be possible to make things easier for Kane and the others?
"Let's go this way." After saying that, Kane took Claire and ran in one direction.
As for the obvious footprints behind him, it was too late to cover them up, now was the time of life and death.
Soon there was the sound of horse hooves chasing behind them, and it seemed that the tracks of their escape had been discovered.
Torches and various shouts pierced the forest where the cold wind howled.
Kane, who was running forward, stopped.
Because he felt that there seemed to be someone in front of him. The captain of these soldiers had actually arranged for people to guard the main road outside the forest.
It can be felt that these people have become a siege, surrounding Kane and the others.
Now we must find a weak direction to break through.
Kane pricked up his ears and began to carefully identify the direction from which the sound of horse hooves came.
Most of the sound of horse hooves came from behind Kane and the others, and those in front of Kane and the others were the slow-moving infantry.
"There should be soldiers ahead in this direction. Let the two of us deal with them quickly and then escape."
Hearing Kane's words, Claire nodded, and finally the two of them rushed out of the woods.
The location where Kane and the others are located is just a relatively dense forest, and there is very little area where they can hide their figures.
So they were heading to the other side, which was the direction where Kane and his friends were in the tree hole before. There was a relatively large forest, and only there could they escape from the tracking of these soldiers.
He didn't take more than two steps before he saw a guard holding a spear, and beside him, a long-range soldier carrying an archer and holding a crossbow.
Kane and Claire immediately dispersed and attacked the two soldiers.
The two soldiers had obviously heard the sound of Kane and the others rushing towards them, and were looking around vigilantly.
Relying on the fleshy pads under his feet, Kane secretly touched behind the long-range soldier.
Then he pounced directly behind the soldier. Due to the protection of the armor, Kane's mouth could not bite his neck, so he could only throw him to the ground.
But this is enough.
Without the long-range threat, Claire rushed out from the other side.
Facing the spear thrust towards her, Claire slid the sword blade in her hand and pushed the gun away. Then she turned the sword blade and slashed hard at the soldier.
The tip of the sword struck through a place that was not protected by the armor, and blood spurted out.
The giant wolf lying behind the long-range soldier quickly transformed into Kane's appearance. He quickly stretched out his hands to hug the soldier's head and twisted it backwards.
"Stuck"
A sound of bones dislocating was heard.
The soldier who was struggling fell softly to the ground and made no sound.
Kane quickly took the bow and arrows and crossbow from the soldier, but as soon as he took out a few arrows, the rest turned into ashes along with the soldiers.
Claire also quickly removed the spear from the soldier in front of him to prevent the spear from turning into ashes along with the soldier.
