Chapter 150. People being targeted(1/5)
What are they doing?
Now these wolf-headed men looked like they were facing a formidable enemy, so it was obviously not a good time for them to take action.
Since I'm very curious about who these wolf-headed men are ambushing, it's better to get closer quietly to see what's going on, and maybe find an opportunity to strike.
After thinking for a moment, the young man lay down on the ground again, crawling toward the wolf-headed men silently like a snake...
"I feel like I'm being watched, Karen, do you feel it?"
Putmark wiped the sweat from his forehead. This was not due to fatigue, but an inexplicable cold sweat.
This is the survival instinct possessed by the adventurer Putmark after experiencing life and death. In layman's terms, it is the "sixth sense." Whenever danger is about to come, his body will have some abnormalities, such as sweating.
Weakness and other conditions, and often the body did not feel any discomfort before.
"No, right? There is no one else on the road except us. If there is, Onoga and the others will probably find it."
Karen didn't notice anything unusual. She and Putmark had been friends for a long time, and she also knew that Putmark had a very strong intuition.
"How about we stop temporarily?" Kallen suggested. She saw Putmark's anxiety, and she couldn't help but guess that there might be some kind of crisis ahead. It's just that the young man named Onoga headed by
None of the three scouts reported anything, and the other members with weaker perceptual abilities could not detect the problem. It was indeed a bit abrupt to stop moving forward like this, but safety was still the top priority anyway.
"Stop? Stop for what?" Observer Fano's horse was following behind the two leaders. Due to the loud noise from the galloping horses, Fano only heard a few key words.
"It's okay, maybe I'm overthinking." Putmark wiped the sweat from his forehead. He was not sure if there was really any danger approaching. He terminated the team's trip just because he felt slightly unwell. It was not Putmark.
style.
Maybe he was just too sensitive to the word "wolf-headed man". During a mission to defeat thieves about three years ago, he encountered a wolf-headed thief. That guy brought a lot of trouble to the mission:
The wolf-headed thief was impeccable in terms of strength and speed, and because of its tough fur, it was hard to be hurt by swords. Even though there were two adamantium-level people present at the time, several adventurers besieged it and still could not capture it. The last one
The Shield Warrior sacrificed an arm for a gap in its defense so that everyone could kill it.
After experiencing this suffocating opponent, Putmark also collected some information about the wolf-headed race and gained some understanding of the wolf-headed race.
In his opinion, if his team really encounters the group of about sixty wolf-headed men that the girl said, they will definitely be defeated. However, their entire team has horses, although there are wolf-headed men who can run faster than
Generally speaking, the running speed of a horse is said, but Putmark knew that just like a cheetah, a wolf-headed man could not maintain high-speed movement for too long.
Relying on the advantage of riding horses, they can attack or evacuate quickly according to the situation.
However, just when Putmark convinced himself that nothing unexpected would happen...
The sudden change!
When the scouting rangers shouted the warning "Everyone stop!", several horse ropes suddenly rose from the ground buried in the snow, and the adventurers who failed to rein in their horses in time fell off their horses.
All this happened in an instant. Onoga, an experienced ranger, discovered that there were signs of stirring in the snow, but it was too late. They had completely fallen into the opponent's trap.
Ouch!!!
The roars of wolves came one after another, and everyone seemed to have fallen into the wolf's den. The surrounding bushes were shaking constantly, and a group of black shadows could be vaguely seen running around them.
"It's a wolf?" The girl in the middle of the team recognized the true identities of those black figures at a glance.
Wild wolves in the mountains surrounded these adventurers. Both their way forward and their retreat soon became dead ends.
"I, we were ambushed!"
People clenched their weapons in panic, and the black emotion of fear spread among the crowd.
Putmark immediately took out a long broadsword half the length of a man from the leather holster on his horse, then held the hilt of the sword with both hands in front of him and shouted: "Don't panic! Work in pairs, in an offensive and defensive formation!"
"
After all, they were just a pack of wolves. Although these adventurers were confused for a while, they quickly set up their formation under Putmark's command.
The so-called offensive and defensive formation is that the team forms a circle, and the warriors roam around the outside to resist frontally, so as to cover the safe output of the archers and mages in the inner circle of the team.
Putmark held a broad sword and stood on the outer circle of the team with a group of warriors, constantly using the sword wind to push back the wolves that wanted to rush in. Five archers and two mages led by Kallen attacked in the inner circle and stood one after another.
The rising horses also became living shields, making it more difficult for the wolves to advance.
The adventurers organized effective resistance, and the menacing pack of wolves began to show fatigue. After a moment of fighting, more than ten wolf corpses were left on the ground, and the adventurers only suffered injuries to two warriors at the beginning of the battle.
There were no further casualties, except for minor injuries and one person who fell unconscious due to falling from a horse.
Knowing they were outmatched, the wolves began to retreat back, but they did not flee. Instead, they adopted an attitude of only besieging but not attacking, and faced off against the adventurers.
The guy who raised the horse rope has not yet shown up, and the adventurers did not dare to disrupt their formation and break into the wolves before the captain gave the order.
"The actions of the wolves are too orderly. It's obvious that someone is directing them." Karen looked solemn at the situation in front of her. She pulled the bowstring and aimed the arrow at a mountain wolf ten steps away. However,
The mountain wolf did not dodge but jumped up on the spot, twisting its waist and biting the iron arrow in its mouth.
"This is the wolf king? No, it's a bit strange." The wolf's deft reaction ability just now is definitely not something that ordinary mountain wolves can possess, but it doesn't look like the one giving orders. There is not much time to wonder, Ka
Lian drew another arrow from the quiver and continued to attack the wolves.
"They... are coming." Nia bit her thumb, as if she saw a replay of that scene.
"Little girl, do you know anything?" Layton asked Nia, suppressing his trembling voice. At this time, the old man felt a little tight in his chest. The situation in front of him seemed to have been restored by these adventurers, but
The calm now is more like the prelude to a storm, so depressing that it makes people breathless.
Compared with the adventurers in the inner circle such as Kallen, these non-combatants are safer. They are now protected by the adventurers, and the wolves cannot hurt them at all.
But...who can be sure that the protective circle surrounded by these adventurers is unbreakable?
"Wolf-headed man, these wolves were released by the wolf-headed man. Those guys must be nearby." Nia hugged her sister tightly. She didn't know what she could do, but her will to protect her loved ones prevented her from doing so.
fear.
Through the confrontation, the four stumbling ropes that hindered the movement of the horses have been cut off, and the adventurers in the inner circle have climbed onto the horses' backs.
"The captain will lead a team to break out of the encirclement later. You guys should follow together." The young man named Onoga was holding a spear. This ranger looked really reliable.
Nia climbed onto the black horse, and two observers also rode on the horse. Putmark turned back to confirm the status of the others, and then led everyone to break out along the original route...
"Lord Nursha, these people are very weak. They are probably not the group of human knights that Barono encountered." A wolf-headed warrior wearing brown leather armor knelt on one knee in front of the wolf and reported the battle situation.
Nursha was sitting cross-legged on a rock and meditating with his eyes closed. There was no rule in the orc army that required subordinates to kneel down and report to their superiors, but there was an invisible pressure on this giant wolf that made these proud wolf-headed men
The soldiers knelt down to him involuntarily.
"Of course not. This group of people can't even deal with the 'babies'. Of course they can't be Barono's opponents, and certainly they can't kill...them." Nursha took a deep breath, then slowly opened his eyes.
When he opened his left eye, the remaining eye was filled with violence.
"Then what should we do with these people? They're running away."
"Are you running away?"
Nursha looked at the stone in his paws, looked at it for a while and then crushed it into pieces. Then he stood up. Under the shadow supported by the tall body of the giant wolf, it seemed that there was no trace of the stone.
Nothing can resist him. Nursha ordered the soldiers under his command: "Kill! Kill them all, don't let any of them escape."
"yes!!"
The wolf-headed warriors clenched their weapons, their brown beast eyes filled with fanaticism.
Finally, I can taste the flesh and blood of the weak again!
"Come on! My warriors!"
Nursha waved his hand, and the wolf-headed people howled excitedly. These bloodthirsty invaders stood up from the dense forest and rushed towards the human team.
Putmark and everyone saw the group of terrifying figures rushing towards them in the forest. With just a quick glance, Putmark knew that he had made the wrong move.
What crusade? What capture of the wolf-headed man alive? Ridiculous!
These orcs with their ugly wolf faces and strong limbs prove with their high momentum and neat order that they are by no means stragglers, but a real "army".
Puttmark shouted: "It's a wolf-headed man! Don't be reluctant to fight! The warriors and swordsmen will come to the rear with me, and the rangers and archers will clear the way in front!"
You must not fight with them, otherwise everyone will die here!
Putmark waved his broadsword with one hand, tightened the reins with the other, turned the horse's head, and slashed at the charging wolf-headed men.
At this time, the only way to escape is to fight a bloody path.
However, the five adventurers who took the initiative to resist the wolf-headed man together with Putmark immediately understood the gap between them after fighting the wolf-headed man.
The strong man holding a pair of axes wanted to take advantage of being on horseback and cut off the nose of a gray-haired wolf-headed man. However, he found that the two axes he had struck were directly used by the gray wolf with its mace.
Stop, at this moment he felt that he was chopped on the rock, and no matter how hard he tried, he could not shake it at all.
Then the gray-haired wolf-headed man roared loudly and pushed back with all his strength. The double axes in the strong man's hands were almost knocked off, and the strong man himself was almost pushed off his horse.
This is true for the stronger men with two axes, and the other weaker adventurers are even more in danger. They can't stop the wolf-headed man's brute force, and they are injured in the fight. And one of them wears
The middle-aged man in leather armor was even more miserable. He was attacked by two wolf-headed men and failed to avoid the sharp weapon in the hands of the wolf-headed men in time.
His abdomen was cut open, and the severe pain made the man roar loudly, but when he turned his head to ask his companions to lend a helping hand, his legs were grabbed by the wolf-headed man on the left, and then his whole body was
Pulling off their horses, the two wolf-headed men immediately swung their spiked maces at the man on the ground at the same time, causing blood and flesh to fly everywhere.
"Wendler!! Sun! These damn beasts!"
The strong man with two axes shouted the man's name, but the man was already lying on the ground covered in blood, his chest was completely collapsed, and although his eyes were wide open, he was no longer breathing.
However, before the roar of the strong men stopped, their horses began to scream, and soon these adventurers were thrown off their mounts. There were wounds on the legs and bellies of these horses, and it turned out that the wild wolves also
