Chapter 1187

In the end, the situation did not develop according to the best that Melti had envisioned, but it did not turn out for the worst either.

Melti and the enemy troops attracted by the fireworks flares rushed to the vicinity of Rajes' location almost on the front foot and on the back foot.

In order to facilitate the concealment of himself, after launching the fireworks flare, Rajes took Prince Henry to find an extremely lush bush more than a meter high and hid it in, and the blades of the extremely dense bush completely concealed the figures of the two.

Prince Henry did not want to burrow into such a low bush, which seemed to him to be humiliating, but unfortunately he had to burrow under the threat of Rajes' sword, and he had to be quiet after burrowing, and was not allowed to make a sound.

Because Rajes knew very well that if he made a noise, he would probably attract the attention of Melti's terrifying auditory sense, and his whereabouts would be exposed.

He deliberately left Prince Henry in place to hide in order to avoid Merti's pursuit. If you move, it is difficult not to make a noise when you step on it, and it is also difficult to walk without colliding with the surrounding plants, trees, leaves, and other things, which can also cause noise.

Rajes wasn't sure if this level of noise would be detected by Merti's terrifying hearing, but he didn't dare bet on it, because Merti's performance when she led them through the woods was a bit too impressive.

So, now it's really wise to just find a place to hide, and then stand still, trying not to make any movement. Otherwise, if they blindly rush with Prince Henry, it is more likely to increase the probability that they will be locked in by Melti.

Although the release of the fireworks flare is actually equivalent to revealing his position, but after all, Rajers is still a little clever, he did not directly stand under the fireworks flare and wait for the reinforcements to come over, just to avoid this.

As long as he hides well, when others are attracted by the fireworks flares, he can not be in a hurry to show up, observe the identity of the comer first, and then come out after confirming that it is his own reinforcements that come.

And if it is Merti and the White Rose Knights who come first, then he can continue to hide, as long as he insists on waiting for the reinforcements sent by Country B to arrive, and then with the support of reinforcements, he will naturally be able to take the advantage, and he will no longer have to worry about the danger of being besieged by the White Rose Knights.

It's just that Rajes thinks it's good, but he underestimates the speed of Melti's arrival, and he also seriously underestimates Melti's perceptual detection ability.

Although they hid in the dense bushes where their fingers were barely visible, they were barely visible to the naked eye, and they also maintained a forbidden posture of trying not to make a sound.

But when Merti came to the vicinity of the location where the fireworks flare was raised, she had already noticed their tracks.

Although it is true that Rajes and Prince Henry did not make any noise, it was just what they thought they were. And in Melti's perception, the sound of breathing and heartbeat coming from them is very clear and provides powerful data for Cui when she discerns and calculates the location of the two.

If it was at a distance of relative distance, Melti and Cui really couldn't directly lock the position of the two of them based on the sound of their heartbeat and breathing, after all, although these two sounds did exist, they were indeed too weak, and they were still in the dense forest, an environment that had a relatively strong absorption and blocking effect on sound waves.

It's a pity that the fireworks flare helped Merti a lot, helping her roughly delineate the location of the two Rajes.

In order to be able to spot and join the reinforcements as soon as the other reinforcements follow the guidance of the fireworks flares, Rajes did not go too far away from the initial release location of the fireworks flares.

As a result, when Merti approached the location indicated by the fireworks flare, he was also closing the distance between him and Rajes.

When the distance between the two sides was close enough, and the impediment effect of the dense forest on the propagation of low-decibel sound waves became less strong at short distances, the breathing and heartbeat of Rajes and the others were naturally captured by Merti and Emerald.

It is precisely because with the help of Emerald that she can also perceive such subtle sounds in her ears and clean them out, so that Melti was able to lead the team through the dense forest before and easily deal with the poisonous insects and beasts hidden in the dense forest and waiting for an opportunity to attack them in advance. Because the closer you get to her, the harder it is to hide from her at the slightest hint of wind and grass around her.

"Are you there......"

With a distance of more than fifty meters, Merti managed to lock onto the bushes where the two of them were hiding, and then immediately slowed down her movements and began to climb lightly onto the trunk of a thick tree more than five meters above the ground, moving silently the whole time, very careful to avoid attracting the attention of Rajes, who must be very nervous at the moment.

She couldn't let her figure appear in Rajes' sight, especially not the iron-stringed bow on her body, otherwise according to the wisdom of the experienced veteran, she would probably guess the fact that the left behind Litt had been planted.

Once Rajes sees the iron-stringed bow in Melty's hand and is on guard, it will be basically impossible for Melty to save people by surprise like he did when he dealt with Little before, and he will face great difficulty.

Merti silently took the arrow from her quiver, and as soon as she put the arrow on her bow, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she turned her gaze in other directions.

“...... Are they all already here? Then you have to move quickly. ”

With Emerald's help, Merti had already noticed that there were people approaching again, and there were quite a few of them, forty or fifty people had already stepped into a radius of five hundred meters centered on the point where Rajs had released the previous fireworks, and there were many more people coming here from farther away!

Among them, the distance between the nearest few people and the bushes where Rajes was hiding had been reduced to within fifty meters, and it would only take half a minute at most for them to look at each other.

Melti would never allow that to happen. So, she had to be the first to strike.

Of course, her first target was Rajes, after all, Prince Henry was still being held hostage by him, and it would not be good if Melti attacked the others first time, and Rajes noticed this movement and raised his vigilance.

The Iron String Bow is very powerful, but it moves too much when it is used, which is an unavoidable flaw. With this bow, Melti was doomed to not be able to hide herself perfectly.

Slowly pulling the bowstring, Melti's eyes were as calm as water, quietly staring at the bushes on the ground dozens of meters away.

In the view of the pupil, the virtual auxiliary line provided by Emerald begins to build.

The bushes, though dense, were unlikely to perfectly cover the bodies of the two big men. There's always a little crevice that comes out.

These gaps are really very small, and from the perspective of ordinary people, it is not enough to make an accurate judgment on the target state of the bushes based on the little sight leaking from these gaps.

Moreover, Rajers and Prince Henry were still wearing the same camouflage garments that the team had made from leaves and vines when they were walking through the woods at the beginning.

Dressed in a camouflage suit that blends almost perfectly with the blades of grass of the plant, it blends under the dense bushes, and even if someone happens to be staring at this bush, it is difficult to detect anything unusual inside.

This is the main reason why Rajis is safe to hide in. As far as he could see, Melti only had extremely sharp hearing, but her eyesight was not exaggerated.

As for the other White Rose Knights, they don't have that terrifying and inhuman eyesight. Even if the captain Lotus has better eyesight than ordinary people because he has practiced archery, he is actually very limited.

It's a pity that Rajes obviously underestimated Melti, and also seriously underestimated how much help Emerald had provided to her, who was housed in Melti's body.

Even if Melti's extraordinary strength and physical fitness have been sealed, the foundation is still there, and her abilities are still at the limit of mortals. This is true for hearing, and the same is true for vision.

Through the gaps that were visible between the leaves of the bushes. Merti could see the scene very clearly.

At a distance of only a few tens of meters, she could even clearly distinguish the shape and color of each leaf in the bushes.

And the camouflage suit that Rajers was proud of was not as reliable as he thought.

Perhaps this camouflage suit was indeed very effective for others, but in the eyes of Melti, who was able to distinguish the difference between the leaves and leaves from such a distance, the stark difference between the leaf vines used in the camouflage suit and the grass blade form of the bush itself was a rather obvious flaw.

However, Melti was not in a hurry to make a move.

Because there is a more serious problem - she has not succeeded in locking down Rajers's vital position at the moment.

Melti must ensure that Rajes is killed with one stone, leaving him with no room for resistance, otherwise Prince Henry, who is close at hand, will inevitably be in danger from his counterattack. For this reason, her first arrow must directly attack Rajs's fatal point.

But Melti had to admit that the cover of the bushes did play a role in this regard.

At least, through the bushes, Merti could now only determine that there was a person hiding inside, but she couldn't determine where the person's head, chest, or neck were......

In this case, if the arrow is released directly, Melti can only ensure that it will hit the target, but it is difficult to say which part of the target's body will be hit.

Fortunately, Cui's assistance is still very powerful in this situation.

Master, please give me a few seconds. In her mind, she remembered Cui's voice.

[Do you have a way?] Melty asked curiously in her mind.

Well, I'm going to extract the image impression information of the camouflage clothes on Rajes and Prince Henry in your previous memory, and then compare the image information with the image information captured now, and analyze the body parts to which it belongs at this moment according to the color and texture of the leaves on the camouflage clothes in the current captured picture.

[Can you even do this kind of thing......?" Melty said in amazement.

For our brains, it's just a trivial matter. Cui modestly responded, and then after a slight silence for three or four seconds, he suddenly said, "Okay."

As the words fell, in Melti's perspective, two circles of humanoid silhouette drawing phantoms in a half-crouched posture appeared on the bushes.

Based on her physical characteristics, Merti was able to tell which of the two humanoid silhouettes belonged to Rajs.

At the same time, the virtual auxiliary line of the long-lost arrow trajectory also reappeared in Melti's eyes.

[Very good.] 】

Merti was slightly happy in her heart, and immediately adjusted the angle of the arrow according to the correction of the auxiliary line, and then let go of the bowstring between her fingers without hesitation.

"Boom ——!" accompanied by the crisp sound of iron wire shock, and the two arrows instantly broke through the air with terrifying power.

Unsurprisingly, Rajes, who was hiding in the bushes, couldn't react to what was happening, and was suddenly pierced into his brain by an arrow that suddenly fell from the sky through his eye socket.

At the same time, the hand that he had been holding a short dagger and pointing at Prince Henry's neck was also hit by another sudden arrow in the wrist at this moment, and he was taken out at once.

It's only that Jacks deliberately looked out between the branches and leaves of the bushes in order to observe the outside world in the bushes, and because of this, his eyes appeared in Melti's eyesight range. With this best option, Merti is naturally unceremonious.

Before, I deliberately asked Cui to help analyze it, just to determine his hand movements, in case Prince Henry, who might be being kidnapped and restrained, was injured because of the body's stress response when he killed him.

"This ...... It's ......!"

Prince Henry looked at Rajes, who was suddenly killed next to him, and was directly stunned, and when he reacted, his eyes were full of horror, and he was almost frightened to roll out of the bushes.

But Melti didn't have the heart to take care of his emotions, because, with the arrows of the iron string bow, the loud vibration of the bowstring had completely exposed her.

The dozens of enemy soldiers who had been surrounded by the dense forest at this moment immediately noticed this movement.

"Who is it!?"

"It's ...... Archer!!"

"Over there, be careful, there's an ambush!"

"Quick, kill it!"

Looking at the enemy soldiers who were rushing towards her, Melti's pretty face became very calm, like a merciless death.
