Chapter 15 All the way north
Chapter 15 Going north
A troll wolf cavalry was fetching water by the stream in the forest.
Around him, four companions were on alert.
People with rich experience in survival in the wild know the importance of water sources, but it is precisely because of its extreme importance that it has become a natural trap.
A wolf cavalry finished collecting water and signaled to rotate to his companions.
And at this moment, he suddenly smelled a hint of uneasiness and immediately pulled out the scimitar on his waist.
The other four wolf cavalry were also shocked by their companions' actions and instantly began to look around nervously.
However, nothing happened.
The forest was silent, with only the rustling sound of the breeze gently blowing through the treetops.
However, the wolf cavalry did not relax their vigilance, but became even more nervous.
Because, it's too quiet!
"Swoosh!"
"Swoosh!"
"Swoosh!"
The howling sound of arrows suddenly broke the suffocating silence.
Then there were two screams.
The remaining three trolls had no time to check whether the two companions who were shot in the arrow were alive or alive. They quickly turned over and climbed onto the dire wolf, turned around and ran away.
"Chase!"
Knight Blis shouted loudly and rushed out first.
Behind him, hundreds of human cavalrymen rode out.
The quiet morning was completely broken, and the bloody killing overture was played again.
Generally speaking, direwolf is better than war horses in short-distance sprints, but their endurance is relatively poor if they run long distances.
Therefore, after rushing for a distance, the three troll wolf cavalry not only did not shake off the tail behind them, but were chased closer and closer.
Moreover, after getting closer, human arrows attacked again.
After a while, two more wolf riders were killed by arrows.
In the end, the only wolf rider who left saw this, he stabbed into the dire wolf's butt with red eyes.
"Aowoo!!!"
The dire wolf was in pain and accelerated suddenly, and then distanced himself from the pursuers behind him.
However, the accelerated buff obtained by self-harm in this way did not last long.
The direwolf, who had lost too much blood, gradually lost his energy, and was finally caught up by human cavalry, shot an arrow and rolled to the ground.
The troll rolled on the ground for a few times, then got up in a mess, and actually wanted to continue running forward.
"Chew!"
Bliss caught up with him and cut off the troll's head with one knife.
Before he could take a breath, the woods ahead moved, and then more troll wolf cavalry jumped out!
Still one step slower!
Blis sighed secretly, knowing that he was not fast enough to deal with these troll whistle drivers, and attracted more enemies.
"Cross!"
After visualizing the distance between the wolf cavalry opposite, Bliss knew that he could not escape this battle, so he ordered loudly.
"go ahead!"
The human cavalry who had just rushed for a while took a breath and pulled down the armor again amid Bliss' orders, preparing to face the enemy.
"accelerate!"
Fortunately, the number of wolf cavalrymen attacked was not too many, so they could fight.
"charge!"
As the distance gets closer, both sides enter the sprint stage almost at the same time.
There is no concession, no dodging, and no kindness.
The brave one wins when we meet on a narrow road!
"kill!"
"kill!"
"Ahhhhhh--"
"Bang!!!"
With the huge impact, blood and broken bones splattered everywhere.
Bloody, barbaric, tragic.
Life becomes a sacrifice, and blood is an embellishment.
The quiet jungle instantly turned into a terrifying altar.
After a fierce battle, humans finally gained the upper hand.
This team of St. Heard's cavalry is indeed elite.
Moreover, Colin's guess was correct. In the direction of turning north, the trolls did not arrange heavy troops.
Obviously, the other party did not expect that this group of human deserters would dare to return to the main battlefield.
"Chase!"
Seeing that the remaining dozen trolls wanted to run away, Blis immediately ordered a pursuit.
You can't let these guys run away, otherwise you will definitely attract more pursuers.
At this moment, a blue light suddenly bloomed in the forest.
The trolls retreated seemed to have suddenly changed seasons, and a layer of frost covered the ground at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then instantly covered the direwolf, making them struggling.
"It's magic!"
The wolf cavalry leader screamed, and his eyes looked desperate.
Yes, the female mage hiding behind finally completed the chanting. A third-level spell [Frost Nova] smashed it out just right, slowing down the speed of the wolf cavalry's escape.
"Kill them all!"
Bliss took the opportunity to lead his army to rush forward and beheaded the trolls who seemed to have been pressed to slow down.
Colin rushed to the leader of the wolf cavalry and cut off the opponent's right hand holding the weapon with one knife, but did not kill him with another knife.
"I'll try to ask for some information." Colin shouted at Bliss, dragging the half-dead wolf cavalry leader.
"Okay. But you'd better hurry up, we can't stay here for a long time." Bliss nodded, then shouted at his subordinates, "Hurry up, hurry up! Give you ten minutes to clean the battlefield!"
"yes!"
"Master Colin, do you need help?" Knight Raymond came over.
"No, I'll do it myself." Colin rejected Raymond's kindness and dragged the Wolf Cavalry leader alone behind a big tree, asking, "Tell me, are there other troll troops nearby?"
"Pooh!"
The leader of the wolf cavalry spitted out a bloody spit and angrily said, "I won't tell you even if I die!"
Colin tilted his head, quickly avoided his saliva, then pulled out the dagger, and cut off the other party's throat in a neat way: "Okay, then you go and die."
"Ho...ho..." The leader of the wolf cavalry widened his eyes, as if asking - Why don't you play according to the routine?
When the other party was completely dead, Colin looked up and looked around. Seeing that no one noticed him, he quietly took out the water bag.
"Gudu...gudu..."
Yes, Colin's real purpose is not interrogation.
He noticed in previous battles that the wolf cavalry leader was a warrior.
Similar to human knights, warriors are unique professions of the trolls, serving the god of war, and therefore have the potential to be promoted to the holy realm.
After discovering that the blood of the warrior had no special effect, Colin felt that he should try whether the blood of the troll warrior was like that of the human knight, and could also help him improve his strength.
Moreover, the strength of this wolf cavalry leader should be between the second and third levels, higher than Colin's current level.
So, if the warrior's blood really works, he should know soon...
Ten minutes passed in a flash, and Colin hid the filled water bags close to his body and returned to the team.
The battlefield has been cleaned up, all the trolls and their mounts have been killed, and the bodies are laid out in the woods at will.
The people who died in the battle on the human side were buried in a hurry.
After this battle, the number of people in this escape team was less than one hundred.
Colin probably counted, and there were only seventy or eighty people left.
With a sigh, Colin rolled over and prepared to set off.
And at this moment, Bliss led the female mage's war horse to Colin.
"Knight Colin."
"Madam, what are your instructions?"
The female mage lowered her head slightly, as if she was dodging Colin's gaze, with a hint of shyness in her words:
"Can I ride the same horse with you...?"
