If you think you can escape just by relying on Heimer's sacrifice, you are undoubtedly wrong.
The speed of the carriage was not enough to get rid of the wolf head and the remaining wolves. If they could not truly escape from their pursuit, the young man and his party would eventually be buried in the belly of the wolves.
"Boy! You think of a way to deal with those beasts on your own, I won't be able to spare my time."
Zeref's voice came from the front, and the young man could tell that his voice was a little hoarse.
"Okay, leave it to us."
The boy had no reason to refuse, and had no intention of refusing. Zeref had to operate the carriage from the front, so naturally the task of dealing with the pursuing soldiers could only be left to the boys in the carriage.
And Heimer has sacrificed so much for the safety of everyone. Now, whether it is for himself or for the fallen Heimel, the young man must let everyone live.
"Nia, please help me remove the car's fender."
The young man held up the crossbow and while observing the movements of the pursuers, he asked the girl next to him to assist him.
"good."
Nia spread a few coats in the car on the ground, and then placed her sister Liana in her arms on the ground. Liana didn't cry when she left her sister. She seemed to understand that now was not the time to show off her temper and was very quiet.
"Why do you want to open the flap?"
Nia squatted down and pulled out the iron bolt that fixed the baffle, and the wooden baffle immediately fell over. Although she did as the boy asked, she still had doubts about this approach.
"Vision, I need vision."
This baffle greatly affects the young man's judgment of the outside situation. If he cannot clearly see the movements of the group of wolf-headed men, the young man will not be able to adjust his countermeasures in time.
"But wouldn't it be easier for them to get in?"
"It's okay, they can't come in."
The young man has his own confidence, and it is equally unreliable to entrust their safety to this thin wooden board.
The bowstring in his hand started to move, and the power on the bowstring made of twisted beef tendons was already full.
Align the sight and pull the trigger. The loaded steel arrow follows the trajectory and ejects with the sound of roaring wind.
Whoosh!
The arrow, which was powerful enough to penetrate the steel plate, hit the Tianling Cap of a fox wolf.
The fox wolf in front of him didn't even have a chance to howl. Almost all the steel arrows penetrated its head. The wolf corpse, which was less than two feet away from the carriage, fell down in the direction of the crossbow arrow, and then rolled on the ground.
It stopped after a few laps.
Ouch!
After the wolf was shot, the other wolves paused for a moment. They realized that if they continued to chase, their lives would be in danger. Just when they wanted to retreat, the wolf heads behind them immediately howled, and in the eyes of the pack of wolves
The strange excitement was ignited again.
The beasts returned to their fearless state and continued to chase the carriage.
"Isn't it true that we can't deal with those orcs?"
The young man realized that it was impossible to drive back the wolves just by relying on crossbows. Normal beasts would retreat due to danger, but these wolves were controlled by wolf-headed men and could no longer deal with them with common sense.
"Nia, give me all the crossbow arrows in the quiver."
The boy took the two steel arrows handed over by the girl and continued to load them. The crossbow arrows in his hand were not enough at all. To deal with the enemies outside, he had to take out at least the same number of arrows as the enemies.
Now the speed of the carriage is constantly accelerating, and the bumpy road surface makes the carriage shake more and more violently. This undoubtedly increases the difficulty of shooting, and the young man cannot be sure that he will not make a mistake.
"Okay, right away."
Nia went to rummage in the luggage pile to find what the boy needed. She saw the quiver placed on the outside of the luggage at a glance, but there were not many arrows in the quiver. If it were given to the boy like this, it would definitely not be enough.
of.
"Nia, hurry up, time is running out."
The boy was already loading the last steel arrow in his hand, but Nia had not yet handed over the crossbow arrow he wanted. Loading the crossbow arrows was already troublesome, and now the wolf closest to them could almost jump to the one he had just put down.
The baffle is on.
"Wait a minute, I'll come right away."
Nia wanted to pull out the quiver from her luggage, but found that the knot on the tie was too tight and she couldn't pull it out for a while.
So she had to bend down and untie the knot.
Wait, is this?
Just now, her eyes unconsciously glanced at a certain corner in the pile of goods, and the girl realized that she seemed to have seen something.
"Could it be?"
Nia looked at the object. It looked like an arrow, but it was completely different from the crossbow arrow used by the boy.
The arrow feathers are made from the feathers of a local bird, and they appear to be more slender than the crossbow arrows, obviously not for crossbows with narrow trajectories.
So what is it used for?
The answer to this question couldn't be simpler, right?
"Nia, hurry up."
The boy raised the loaded crossbow and pulled the trigger on a wolf's head.
This wolf once again suffered the same fate as the previous two wolves. The arrow penetrated the skull, and the beast's tenacious vitality was immediately deprived of it.
But the wolves are getting closer, and so are the wolf-headed men. Crossbows alone cannot defeat these enemies.
"Can you use this?"
Nia asked the boy while holding the things she had rummaged through from the pile of goods.
"Huh? This is... great! Of course I will, give it to me."
The young man couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he saw what Nia was holding. When he realized what he was doing, he was beaming with joy. He quickly threw the crossbow aside and replaced it with this object.
What the girl brought was a hunting bow and a whole tube of feather arrows.
Although the crossbow is powerful, it is too slow to reload. Now that there are so many enemies, it is no longer appropriate to use a military crossbow. The hunting bow we have now is not only relatively light, but the time for reloading arrows is almost negligible.
The young man held the hunting bow and felt the amazing toughness contained in the wooden strips that made up the bow arms.
"nice one!"
The workmanship of the hunting bow in front of me seems simple. In fact, the texture of the bow body is smooth and smooth, and there is not much deviation in bow strength. The workmanship is very sophisticated, and its material is equally excellent. Compared with the elite bows and arrows of the Qifeng Camp of the Badafener Legion
The enhanced battle bows used by the masters are also impressive.
This bow belonged to an unknown hunter in Difenni Village. It must have been regarded as a treasure, so he was unwilling to give it up. He put it in the car and took it away from the village with other goods.
Using this will definitely change the situation!
The young man took out an arrow, put it on the bow, pulled the bow string, and immediately shot the first arrow.
The gray wolf that approached again was shot through the forelimbs by the boy, and it could only fall down and roll on the spot with a howl. Its companions passed over it one after another, and the wolf-headed people who followed behind stepped directly on the disabled gray wolf.
Pass, no matter whether he lives or dies.
Because it was a bow, there was no need to worry about loading it. The young man took out arrows one after another from the quiver, and let these arrows become decorations on the pursuers.
"Uh?! How is that possible!"
When the boy pulled out the eighth feather arrow, he saw an incredible sight.
A man with blue lightning wrapped around his body was running towards them. He was as fast as the wind. His speed was not only faster than the group of orcs, but also faster than the galloping horses.
That is almost not something that normal humans can do. But the scene in front of them does not seem to be a false illusion, because even those wolf-headed warriors who do not know what fear is are frightened by the figure chasing behind them, and they are actually scared.
They involuntarily made way for this man to pass them.
But that wasn't what surprised the young man the most. What really shocked him to the point of grinning from ear to ear was...
"Verus, isn't that Uncle Hemel? He's fine!"
The girl's extremely happy voice gave the doubtful boy reassurance that he had not had any strange hallucinations.
Yes, that man was none other than Heimel who should have been devoured by wolves before.
