Chapter 47: The First Encounter
"Captain Burroughs, I was dragged into the 'Ranger' by you, but you have to be responsible for me, I have an eighty-year-old mother in the imperial capital, and I have a ...... who can just climb."
"What? You have a baby?"
"No, no, it's wrong, it's wrong, it's me who still has a few younger siblings to raise......"
"Yes, that's not right, how old did you say your mother was?"
"Haha! Don't worry about these details, you are responsible for me anyway!"
"Hmmm......"
Burroughs told Jerome and Galen to hide in a tree on the left, and he stayed where he was, so that he could form a cross-attack and support each other to a certain extent, so that if there was a fight, the orcs would not make dumplings.
And after Jerome and Galen left, he suddenly felt that his surroundings were too deserted, and his heart was also fluttering, and he suddenly felt extremely lonely, and for a moment he was in a trance, and he actually recalled a conversation when Jem first came to his group......
"I ......" Burroughs wanted to say something to break the trance-like silence, even if it was to himself, but there was nothing in his mouth. Apologize to Jem, remorse, blame yourself? Jem who is dead doesn't need that. And......
At this moment, a leaf fell on Burroughs' shoulder, and Burroughs looked back, and his eyes saw the leaves, a hand that came to mind, a hand that used to appear whenever Burroughs was in a bad mood and confused—the hand of the tank.
"As I said, I'm older than you, so I'll just call you Burroughs when there's no one else. ”
"Big Brother Tank. ”
"Don't, if you get used to it, if you hear it when outsiders are there, a 'ranger' team leader calls his big brother, won't you make a joke. And...... Big Brother Tank, Big Brother Tank, isn't it too ugly?"
"Then why aren't you afraid of calling yourself accustomed to it?"
"I'm tight-mouthed!"
"It's just because it doesn't sound good!"
"Haha! Let's call it a tank, it sounds strong and strong, and it fits my body well. ”
"Okay. ”
"What, I saw that you were very lonely just now, and there was something wrong at home?"
"The family is the same, nothing happens, my parents are my only child, and now my salary is sent home, so my parents don't have to work too hard. ”
"Do a good job! If you have the ability, you have to take care of your parents! Unlike my brother, it's too late to take care of me......"
"What's wrong with them?"
"Alas, he was conscripted into the 'hilly defense line' for hard labor, and was ...... Alas......"
"I'm sorry...... Big Brother Tank...... "Burroughs removed the leaves from his shoulders and whispered......
Then, he looked back at the woods, and soon noticed that there were shaking and marks on the left and right of the trees that were different from the usual ones.
After giving instructions to his companion in the left rear, Burroughs tightened his grip on his bow and arrows, and several armor-piercing arrows were stuck in front of him, and the mortal intent grew stronger in his eyes......
On the other side, the Yaksha Demon Wolf, hidden under the dead leaves, is in a rage!
It hasn't eaten since yesterday, but because of its easy nature to treat its prey, it chases two humans who are very good at climbing trees, and it is helpless to do anything about it.
While this nature makes its prey afraid, it always makes the Yaksha wolf hungry, and it becomes more and more irritable along the way. It also wondered how those two humans could climb like that when they were still wearing armor......
Eventually, it gave up and chose another target that seemed easier to deal with - at least the guy couldn't climb trees.
This time it's easy, just wait for the opponent to be exhausted or relax and unleash the fatal blow, and then you can have a big meal.
However, two more humans disrupted its plans, and he, who was becoming more and more impatient because of hunger, attacked when the three of them had already merged, and because he was afraid that his strength would be a little lacking because of hunger, he used his own innate magic, which he also felt extremely weak.
"Whew!" it worked! The Yaksha wolf screamed with excitement! After that, it was happy eating time, and the feeling of satisfaction made it forget the time.
But it didn't take long for this happy time to be interrupted!
The anger of the Yaksha demon wolf went up at once, but he still held back at the critical time, hid first, waited for this human to leave before eating, let him go, one human was enough to eat, and hunted the prey and couldn't eat it, wouldn't it be wasted.
"Whew!" the Yaksha Demon Wolf couldn't help it, screamed angrily, pounced on it, and bit the man's neck with great precision!
It turned out that the man was vigilant around and in the sky, and he didn't notice that the Yaksha Demon Wolf in the dead leaves under his feet had stepped on the tail of the Yaksha Demon Wolf!
This man, the infantry of the orc squad as the "bait", had forgotten to fight back under the severe pain, and even dropped the Ge in his hand, and grabbed the head of the Yaksha demon wolf with both hands, and because the throat in his neck was broken, his loud scream became extremely strange.
"Whew, whew!" The two poles flew from the left and right directions towards the Yaksha Demon Wolf who was biting the infantryman's neck.
And the Yaksha Demon Wolf may be greedy for the blood that spurts out of the infantry's throat, or it may be unable to move because the infantryman's hands hold its head, and finally the two shots are inserted into the Yaksha Demon Wolf's body almost at the same time, one in the head and one in the body!
The rod inserted in the Yaksha Demon Wolf was the most deadly, and it directly made the Yaksha Demon Wolf angry. And because the two poles brought kinetic energy in different directions, the corpse of the Yaksha Demon Wolf fell to the ground with its head to the left and its tail to the right, and at the same time, it drove the infantry to the ground as well......
"Click!" There was a crisp sound, and the neck of the orc infantryman was broken off at the midpoint of the bite......
Burroughs, who was hiding in the tree, watched coldly at what had just happened, while the other orc soldiers, probably thinking that the danger had been eliminated, most of them showed their figures, and slowly approached their teammates who were obviously dead.
"One, two, three, four...... Nine!" Burroughs counted the number of orc soldiers who were no longer hiding, and counted twice and was still one orc.
Burroughs wanted to wait for all the orc soldiers to show up before attacking. But when he saw that the nine orc soldiers who had already appeared had gathered in a certain area and had a tendency to separate again, he still drew his bow and arrows and decided to make a move.
"Don't miss the opportunity, you can't wait any longer!" an arrow with a small magic hedron flew out at the last second when Burroughs finished his calculations.
At this point, Burroughs' face was resolute.
The arrow with the magic crystal of "......" was louder than the ordinary arrow, and when it flew in the air, it immediately attracted the attention of all the orc soldiers under the tree.
"Cut, human archers dare to get axes in front of us, don't you know why we new humans don't have archers?" a sneered orc infantryman with empty hands and no weapons when he saw the sound of a wooden arrow flying.
He sneered as he casually fanned the flying arrows like a fan. In an instant, a small visible stream of air flowed in the direction from which the arrow was flying.
"'Air Wave', this usually completely useless technique, is very good against arrows, let's guess which direction this arrow will fly in the future?"
"Haha, okay! I guess this way!"
"I guess over there!"
"It's going to fall ......"
The flight of arrows is easily affected by the wind, and all the orc soldiers under the tree did not arouse much vigilance at all about the sudden arrows in the sky, and they all easily guessed where the arrows would fly after being affected by the technique......
However, what happened next made them regret it immensely.
When the "air wave" collides with the arrows, the arrows will not be affected by the air currents to change the direction of flight, or stop flying and fall, as the orcs thought.
Moreover, in an instant, a dazzling light flashed from the magic crystal on the arrow, instantly stabbing all the orc soldiers who had just wanted to see the change of the arrow.
At this moment, the corners of Burroughs' mouth on the tree pulled up and pulled out a smile, and his hand did not stop, and when the light flashed, he squinted and shot nine armor-piercing arrows in a row!
Nine orc infantrymen, each with a branch, and no one was left behind!
Burroughs didn't stay there and observe the results, but shook his right hand, which was a little sore from pulling the bow too many times at once, and then quickly ran and sprinted on the branch where he was, and after a few steps, he used his momentum to jump to another tree.
As a safari, you have to "swim" while hunting. That is, while striking the enemy, you must also protect yourself, pay attention to often shift your position, and swim and attack it, so that the prey can not even find the shadow of the attacker, which is for the strong hunter.
For this reason, rangers are generally humans who mainly use long-range attacks, and they often fight alone.
"Hey, ......" Burroughs exhaled hard after jumping four trees, stopped, and quickly found a leafy spot to hide.
He didn't notice that the vulture, which had originally flown above the Yaksha wolf's head, was now hovering above his head.
On the other side, the orc leader who had not yet appeared, that is, the multi-ability scout, was lying behind a tree at this time, and was gritting his teeth as he looked at the ten infantry temporarily assigned to him, because half of the ten orc infantry had been killed or wounded before the official battle!
Except for the one who was bitten to death by the Yaksha demon wolf at the beginning, the rest of the casualties were all casualties under the wave of attacks of the human archer just now.
"What kind of elite, can be exposed when you advance covertly, so you can't see the big branches? Now nine people can still be killed and wounded by the archers, and the cards that play more and less secretly can be like this, I can be regarded as serving this group of melee players......" The leader is very angry now, and he can't enter, and he is afraid of losing face when he calls for support, so he can only scold the infantry of the melee unit in his heart.
The incomparably familiar chirp of "Ga ......" made the angry leader look at the sky, and a cruel smile appeared on his face.
"Hehe, my pets are better than you infantrymen...... Now let me meet you - the human archers who should be in the garbage!"
