Chapter 167: The enemy must be retreated
Hawkins' blue eyes were red with grief, and now the reddened blue eyes saw Arthur suddenly turn his head and dodge the small crossbow bolts designed for assassination by a fraction of a second, and then he tilted his face and lowered his gaze to stare coldly at himself.

There was obvious impatience in the eyes of the boy.
Impatient? Hawkins found it incredible, and he thought that Arthur should clearly recognize his mistake.
In fact, Arthur was more than impatient.
After wrinkling his brows and smacking his lips and making a "tsk", Arthur Raised gave Hawkins a knife to the back of his neck, and Hawkins fell down before he could say anything.
Some time later, the army and the Magus came after them, and they discovered the Assassins' attacks on the young people, and although the Assassins quickly went into hiding, both the academy and the military saw the smiling masks worn by the Assassins and knew that they were from the Eagle's Nest.
The only one who can drive the Eagle's Nest out of the mission is the one with power.
The chasing hospital and the military quickly looked at each other, and both sides looked solemn.
Although Ozhivic was the most independent in the entire Rufia Kingdom, the situation in the royal palace was well known to the Ozhiwicchi. The appearance of the Eagle's Nest links the death of Saginko Knenev with the struggle for royal power, and the chasing court and the military, which had been on the same page, instantly cracked, and both sides were suddenly unsure whether they could trust each other and help.
Neither side did mean to, but they did subtly and gradually pull away from each other, riding and begging.
Although they had known for a long time that the old dean's death would not be simple, the mentors could never have imagined that they would face the Eagle's Nest, and the power and strength that the Eagle's Nest represented was beyond the reach of ordinary people. Their already heavy hearts seemed to be crushed by another boulder that suddenly fell, and the heaviness slowed them down.
In any case, it is the consensus of the mentors to save Hawkins.
However, when some Mentors tried to use magic, others objected, partly for fear of accidentally injuring Hawkins, and partly because they all saw that the black-haired boy who captured Hawkins and his companions were protecting Hawkins when the Assassins attacked.
So what now? The mentors couldn't tell whether Arthur and his gang were friends or foes to Hawkins, and what they had to do with the academy and the cruelly murdered old dean. Some mentors began to shout, hoping that everyone would stop running away and return Hawkins, as long as the explanation was clear, the academy would ensure their safety and Hawkins' safety.
The crowd did not respond to the polite but anxious shouts of the mentors, they continued to run, Arthur at the front had no intention of slowing down, and when the mentor raised his staff and tried to cast a spell, Naine immediately used his ability, causing the ground to break, and the mentors fell along with the men and horses.
Arthur didn't dare to be careless, knowing that the Assassins were still chasing him, even though he couldn't see it now, he gestured to Salina and Viterbi on either side, and the three horses headed straight for the forest outside the city.
In the process, Hawkins woke up again, this time without speaking, and went straight to the staff that was stuck in Arthur's waist. This time Arthur didn't speak, and another hand knife struck, and Hawkins snorted and continued to lie down without choice.
The crowd on the edge of the city was sparse compared to the center, and the speed of the crowd increased, and when the forest outside the city was visible, Arthur gave orders to Nain, who used his spiritual power to cause the ground to crack in a large area, and the earth pillars suddenly rose everywhere, blocking the pursuers behind him.
Although the army and the Magus scrambled to avoid the collapsed and cracked ground and the sudden rise of the pillars of earth, there were still people and horses who fell or were overturned by the pillars.
At this time, Nayin rolled up a strong wind again, and there was no need to care about the strong wind of the people with the loess rushing all over the sky, and everyone was suddenly caught in the sand and dust wind.
When the magic teachers unleashed their magic in unison and spread the barrier to expel the wind, Arthur and the others had already entered the forest, and the distance was widened again.
Everyone knew that it was not difficult to avoid the men and horses on the surface, but it was extremely difficult to avoid the enemies in the shadows, so they did not dare to slow down even if they entered the forest.
Unbeknownst to them, however, a group of Assassins waited quietly in the depths of the forest, waiting for them to crash into the trap.
It seemed that before noon, it was overcast, and then it began to rain, at first small droplets, which fell for a while, and then began to turn into bean-sized raindrops, which fell crookedly like a three-year-old child running.
Even if it rained, everyone still didn't dare to rest, Arthur always had a feeling of being watched, I don't know if it was the clammy and cold relationship brought by the rain, and he also felt that the cold murderous aura was always with them.
They slowed down slightly, hydrated their horses, pulled a few mouthfuls of dry food, and continued to run.
Not long after the rain became more and more intense, everyone's horses ran into the trap, and everyone fell into a deep pit, and for a moment people turned on their backs, and the neighing of horses and the curses of everyone came and went, and Hawkins also woke up at this time.
Arthur gritted his teeth and struggled to pick up the horse that had smashed on him, glancing at Werther and Hawkins to make sure they were okay, but there was a cry of pain from Salina's side, which was obviously not good.
After pushing the horse away, Arthur rushed to Salina's side, and saw that her leg was pressed by the horse, and she couldn't pull it out, and she was in a hurry.
Arthur hurriedly strained, and Werther also rushed to help after he got out.
When Hawkins woke up, the first image he saw was Arthur and Werther pushing a neighing horse together, and Naine holding Salina and dragging him backwards.
Hawkins' mind was still a little confused, and he tried to get up, the first time his legs went limp, and the second time he slowly straightened up, and saw many people wearing smiley masks gathered above the pit, they were holding bows and arrows, and arrows were aimed at him.
At that moment, Hawkins's mouth was slightly open, and his brain was empty.
Arthur shouted Naine as he drew his sword and lunged in front of Hawkins.
Although Nain urgently changed the terrain, raised earth and rocks to resist, and Arthur swung his sword and slashed, he still had multiple arrows in his body.
"Arthur!" Witt yelled anxiously, he grabbed the reins of the horse, and the force that burst out of nowhere, almost like a hard tug, dragged the horse, which was still unable to stand normally, in front of Arthur, and let the horse become a shield.
Hawkins' mind was still wooden, and when he heard the name Arthur, he only knew that the man who stood in front of him and shot him with an arrow was the black-haired boy who asked him about the unicorn statue that day.
Arthur felt that he was lucky, the previous swing of the sword finally worked, and the important organs were not hit, he was only injured.
He took a cursory look and saw a total of five arrows from top to bottom.
He gasped heavily, exhaling clouds of white air under the increasing rain.
Unsure how long he would be able to stand, he looked at Nain, tapped his chin to the anxious and worried girl, and said, "The enemy must retreat." ”
