Mercenaries and Adventurers

"Pay attention, those things are approaching!" Knight Lanisa on horseback had sharp eyes and ears, and immediately spotted the approaching werewolf.

She didn't need to guess too much, she knew what sinister plan the other party was planning. But she doesn't care about this, because the forest she is in now is not a civilized world, it is a land of wild beasts, a paradise for monsters.

"Shoot it from the tree with an arrow!"

The female knight cried out.

The hunters immediately raised their bows to aim at the figure jumping on the tall tree. The bowstring is fully drawn and there is no need to command. Every hunter has different levels of archery skills. The most powerful old hunters are the first to shoot the bows and arrows in their hands.

Whoosh!

Whizzing!

Tost shot first, and then the other two old hunters shot bows and arrows.

The werewolf approaching quickly on the tree sensed the killing intent not far away in advance, and did not dare to charge up and jump up when the arrow flew, because it saw only half of the hunters who were shooting arrows. This is an insidious hunting technique, because It can't correct its movements when jumping in the air. Once it jumps up in fright, it will be directly hit by the remaining hunters in mid-air.

Therefore, at this moment, it didn't jump up, but lowered its body, stretched its legs back, and stepped on the air deliberately. In this way, its whole body fell from the branches.

The expected arrows came as expected. The three young hunters fully drew the hunting bows in their hands, and released their arrows with great momentum.

Whoosh, whoosh, three arrows were released at the same time, directly hitting the body of the falling werewolf.

But the werewolf was wary of this hand. Its legs and body fell downwards, but its long, strong, hairy arms stretched upwards as it fell.

With both arms scooping up the thick branch that he was stepping on just now, his whole body has a point of leverage. Then it exerted strength with its arms, and bent its waist and abdomen to exert strength, and the whole werewolf body turned sideways, dodging the young hunter's full bow and arrows in the same direction as the branches.

But before it could get too proud, the female knight and the old hunters in front of him all showed smiles for different reasons.

'This werewolf really understands, he is not a native monster in the forest. ’ Thinking of this, the smile that originally floated on the corner of his mouth disappeared again. She faintly felt that there was something else behind this werewolf, but this was not the time, and defeating the wolf king was her main goal.

If this werewolf is sensible, get out of the way, and don't get involved in the next battle between her and her men. Even if the other party had indirectly helped her when she was in the bear cave before.

But the old hunter is much simpler. Because it was a werewolf, they didn't use the hunting routines that they used to deal with ordinary beasts to deal with it, but used the tricky routines that were specially designed to deal with those cunning beasts to deal with it.

Now it's really counted.

Just when the werewolf turned his body sideways and dodged the young hunter's shot, three arrows quickly shot by the old hunter lightly crossed a straight arc and hit the palm of the werewolf who was holding the thick branch accurately. .

Among them, the old hunter Tost had amazing skills. At that moment, he set his target on the werewolf's fingers, which were much thicker than ordinary people. Even though it was nearly thirty meters away from the werewolf on the opposite tree, he still saw from a distance that the werewolf, like humans, had five fingers with long claws on its hands.

At that moment, he remembered a youthful memory back in the empire. At that time, when he was young, because his family had a lot of people, but the land was not enough to support them, he left his hometown early and went to a nearby big city to make a living.

It's a pity that he was born in a farming family, except for farming and serving plants, he doesn't have any personal skills. After lingering for a while, he still joined a gang of thieves running around in the streets and alleys. At a young age, he once saw with his own eyes a young accomplice who was stealing together was caught, and was lynched by the owner. The small stone hammer that was used to grind the flour directly smashed the little finger of his companion.

He knew that in some towns with strict criminal laws, those who used weapons to commit violence would have their thumbs smashed. And if the tools made by the craftsman are rotten and cause death, the index finger will be smashed. Those who steal will smash their little fingers.

After losing her little finger, although she can still live a normal life, her palms have lost a great deal of strength, and she can't do some physical work that can basically sustain her life.

Sure enough, his young companion could only hide in the darkest corner and pick up some unwanted garbage to survive.

This incident frightened him, so he fled from the hopeless gang of thieves, followed a recruiting militia, left his hometown all the way, and traveled a great distance to this newly established new kingdom. .

During the long migration journey, he learned archery from the mercenaries of the **** team, and he studied and practiced hard, and his skills became higher and higher until he became an official hunter who could hunt wild animals in the primeval forest.

Time turned back to the present, and the hint from distant memory made him aim precisely at the edge of the werewolf's finger.

The arrow flew past, and as he expected, it hit the front of the little finger of the werewolf's right hand.

The werewolf's body is full of solid muscles and thick hair and thick skin. At first, it was only worried about the arrows shot by hunters, but unexpectedly, these skilled old hunters would target it on the palm of its hand.

Its palms are naturally strong, and it has sharp claws that can gouge out hearts and lungs. But the palm itself is no match for the arrow's metal arrow.

Ordinary self-made leather armor can be shot through by bows and arrows, not to mention its thin palm compared to the torso of the body.

"Awwhhh!" the werewolf cried out in pain, the back of its left hand was shot directly by two arrows, the arrows shot from the back of the hand, pierced through the bones and tendons in the palm of its hand, and then superficially nailed the palm to the branch above.

But the other hand was even more miserable. Tost's arrow just hit the root of its right little finger, cutting off the entire finger.

The broken finger fell directly from the tree, and after rolling, the tip of the sharp claw plunged into the snow, and disappeared into the snow.

"Damn, damn! Die! You, damn!" The werewolf lay his body horizontally along the cover of the thick branches, yelled and hid behind the big tree, and cursed the hunters while climbing higher up the tree trunk.

After it climbed to a high place, after confirming that the hunters below could no longer shoot it, it changed hands to hold the bark of the big tree, and checked its two palms alternately.

The left hand was shot through, which looked serious, but in fact, after it broke the arrow shaft, the wound was not very big, leaving only a penetrating wound. Although the strength of the palm was slightly affected, it did not affect the scratching of the claws of the left hand.

But the right hand is much more serious. When it climbed up just now, it felt very inconvenient with only four fingers left. Now when it was holding the palm of the hand, it found that the whole hand had lost almost half of its grip strength.

"Tost, you dare to shoot my finger off. I'm going to take out your heart and crush it!" The werewolf whispered cruel words in his mouth, but he didn't dare to speak loudly, for fear of Lanisa underneath. The knight noticed his true identity.

-

On the ground below, Knight Lanisa immediately praised the hunters after seeing the werewolf was injured by a few arrows and escaped: "Great job! Drive the werewolf away, just don't dare to come here to provoke them. We mainly deal with wolves king!"

With one finger of the epee, the huge body of the wolf king appeared in their sight.

Although the wolf king on the opposite side was running on the ground, his head was raised high, and he kept staring at the werewolf on the high tree, and even roared some incomprehensible incomprehensible roars.

It naturally also found the group of humans directly opposite, but it was blinded by hatred and could no longer see anything else.

A few northern wolves had been holding the metal spears that the wolf king had snatched from humans in their mouths. Seeing the wolf king turn his head to look at them, these northern wolves immediately lay down and raised their heads, letting the wolf king hold them. Take this human weapon to use.

Cracking and biting the metal gun shaft, the Wolf King's abdomen pumped and breathed for a while, barely retracting his magic power to suppress the pain on his body, and then ran quickly, biting the metal spear, and rushed straight to the trunk of the big tree.

When the wolf king started to run, Knight Lanisa naturally wouldn't just wait in place. In order to ensure the overall impact, she drove the horse directly and circled around Kiel and his team.

This is not only to gradually increase the speed of the horse in the circle, but also to protect the hunter team at a distance that she can take care of at any time.

However, the female knight immediately saw that the wolf king did not charge straight at them, but turned his head at the bottom of the big tree where the werewolf was, and used the metal spear in his mouth to hack horizontally to the bottom of the big tree trunk.

Boom!

With a single shot, a large piece of hard bark exploded and flew away, leaving a huge gap in the trunk protected by the old bark.

The whole big tree trembled. Although there were no leaves flying, the snow that fell on the branches of the whole big tree fluttered and fell.

The werewolf at the top of the tree naturally gritted his teeth and roared. The wolf king's intention was too clear, that he wanted to bring down the tree, so that the werewolf at the top of the tree would be severely injured when the tree fell.

The wolf king of the Northern Land without dexterous arms naturally couldn't climb a tree, but it was no problem to take advantage of his huge size to knock down a tree in a short time.

That werewolf's strength was limited, and he couldn't survive falling from such a high place without being injured.

-

Knight Lanisa naturally saw the action of the wolf king, and she didn't know what to do next. Although she knew that her main target was the wolf king, she should focus on dealing with the wolf king. But seeing that the wolf king was focused on dealing with werewolves, she also planned to let the two monsters fight for her own benefit.

She turned her head and looked at the hunters under her command. Before she could speak, the old hunters who had fought against Knight Lanisa for many years knew what the knight meant.

"My lord, deal with the northern wolves first. As long as the wolves under the wolf king are eliminated, the wolf king will have no power to fight against us at this moment."

Hearing what an old hunter said, Knight Lanisa yelled, "Okay, let's bypass the wolf king and kill those northern land wolves first!"

Afterwards, she led the whole team to move forward obliquely. The female knight slowed down the speed of her horse so that the team behind her could catch up. The hunters held the bow in one hand and three or four arrows in the other, and they started to run in big strides. And Kiel also followed Tost's instructions and fell at the end of the team to ensure that no one was left behind in the fast forward.

The young man has the support of the God of Saturn from the long sword hunt, even if he is wearing full-covered hard cowhide armor, he can easily follow behind the team, holding the shield in his left hand and holding the long sword upside down in his right, pushing with both hands. The two old hunters, who were a little weak in stamina, moved on their backs to keep up with the team.

The distance between the various forces was extremely close, and they only made a short detour before meeting the pack of northern wolves.

Although the northern wolves wanted to get close to the wolf king, they were not afraid at all when they saw the human team coming to block them, and rushed forward.

Knight Lanisa handed over the one-handed epee against the wolf king to his left hand, pulled out the spear from the horse's weapon rack with his right hand, and directly raised the spear to provoke a northern wolf cub.

For the wolf cub that was picked up into the air, she swung her left hand directly, and the strong and heavy one-handed epee split the northern wolf into two neatly.

Her war horse was very brave in the face of dozens of northern land wolves, and it directly raised its four hooves and charged straight away. Although it hasn't eaten well in the past two days, it can show its greatest courage in the battle at this time, assisting its master to fight bravely.

When the northern wolves saw the human knights charging forward in armor, they were frightened by the unstoppable impact of the horses. Some of them were timid and wailed and avoided, while a few bold ones tried to bite the looming legs of the horses under the vest.

This is what they have always used against large herbivores.

But as soon as they got close to the charging horse, they were directly swept away by the vest that had been draped off by the horse. After flying upside down for two or three meters, they lay on the ground shaking their heads, trying to relieve their dizziness and get up.

Lanisa Knight ran straight through the wolves all the way, chopping left and right. Of course, Kiel and the others behind him didn't have that ability and strength.

They were not stupid, they knew that they couldn't rashly rush up with the knight at this time. As hunters, they naturally have to rely on long-range arrows to ensure output.

Backed by a tall tree with a thick trunk, the hunters stood very densely one by one. As the knights pierced through the pack of wolves, they immediately aimed their shots at the northern wolf that was closest to them.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh.

All six of them opened their bows and shot arrows, and the arrows flew continuously, immediately knocking the approaching Northern Land Wolf to the ground.

And Kiel also stood in front of the team, with his sword and shield in good posture. Facing the Northern Wolf who was lucky to dodge the arrows, he directly hit the shield head-on, and then cut through the stopped Northern Wolf with his long sword. skull.

Even if a single sword can't kill the northern wolf that is fighting, if it is chopped on the head by the heavy hunting sword, the northern wolf will pass out for a short time, and fall to the ground limp and unable to fight any more.

The hunters don't carry many arrows, but they are more than enough to deal with dozens of northern land wolves, so they no longer use arrows sparingly, but draw bows and shoot arrows at high speed. All the northern land wolves were forced to shoot and wounded.

After fighting for a while, Knight Lanisa immediately turned her horse and rushed back.

"Ha!" She trampled on the wolves with her horse. At the same time, she continued to use the flexibility of the spear to pick up a not too heavy northern wolf cub, and then swung the sword with her left hand to kill it.

If she was facing an adult northern land wolf, it would be difficult for her to use a spear. At this time, she lowered her body and let the war horse lean towards the northern land wolf on her left side. At this time, the one-handed epee in her hand could reach the northern land wolf.

Her sword was very heavy and powerful, so she didn't need to carefully attack the back and spine of the northern wolf, but just slashed at the hard head of the northern wolf.

Solidity is relative.

For the short dagger and hatchet in the hunter's hand, the skull of each northern land wolf is basically difficult to break open, so they will be very dangerous when facing the northern land wolf's pounce at close quarters.

And for a fighter like Kiel with complete defensive equipment and powerful weapons, it's not impossible to directly hit the head of the Northland wolf that is pounced on. It is best to kill it. situation.

But for Jenny Lanisa, a formal knight of the knight rank who is far more powerful than ordinary people, the one-handed epee in her hand can kill with a single stroke no matter whether it is horizontally or vertically slashing. The weapon of the dead boreal wolf.

So, when she galloped her horse back and forth a few times, relying on the weapon in her hand, she lowered her body and wiped out all the adult northern land wolves in the wolf pack.

Two leading wolves wanted to flee to the wolf king, but Knight Lanisa threw the spear in his hand and the rapier at his waist, and killed them on the edge of the battlefield with double double strikes.

She has been paying attention to the wolf king who repeatedly destroys the big tree not far away, for fear that the other party will turn around and kill them.

Although she has the support of her subordinates, she is not afraid that she will be repulsed, but when she fights with the wolf king at close range, it will inevitably hurt the hunters who are too close~www.readwn.com~ But it’s okay Well, maybe the wolf king didn't notice the battle behind him, or maybe he noticed, but those wolves under him were not as important as the enemies in front of him.

The wolf king didn't respond until the last cub at the end of the pack fled into the depths of the forest.

-

Whoops, whoops, whoops.

Knight Lanisa's war horse was panting heavily, and from the metal-covered nose of the horse, large groups of white mist sprayed out from there.

"Everyone be quiet. Gather the arrows and kill the injured northern land wolves that are still alive." She moved slowly on the horseback: "Let's repair it, and go to kill the wolf king after the arrows are retracted." !"

Everyone quietly did not answer yes, but nodded quietly.

The hunters quickly retracted the arrows, and the flesh and blood stained on the arrows were simply wiped on the Northern Land Wolf. And Kiel quickly followed Lanisa Knight's instructions, and stabbed each of the surviving northern land wolves to the ground to prevent them from howling indiscriminately.

Afterwards, Kiel ran out to retrieve the long spear and armor-piercing rapier thrown by Knight Lanisa, and handed them to the female knight.

Afterwards, Knight Lanisa saw that the hunters were almost ready, so he brandished his long spear. The hunter team spread out and formed a battle formation for hunting monsters, while Kiel followed Knight Lanisa at a distance, and followed the knight together. Attacked towards the wolf king.

The battle is finally entering its final stage.

Kiel guessed that the wolf king's strength should be less than half of the peak period at this time. Although Lanisa's knight status is not full due to burns, but with the assistance of warrior hunters like them, they will definitely be able to completely take down the northern wolf this winter. wolf king.

A piece of tranquility in the northern villages of Kendal.
