Chapter 20: Deterrence

The people chasing in the woods were indeed attracted by the sound she made.

Wiping a handful of wet mud from her face, Freya looked at the guy behind her who was deliberately slowed down by her, and the speed of running like an ordinary person suddenly increased.

Most of these people were just ordinary soldiers, and their physiques couldn't catch up with Freya, who had the rank of half-knight, and after she accelerated, she disappeared from their field of vision almost instantly.

"What? What's going on? The target of the sudden chase disappeared in an instant, causing some people to stop.

"Keep chasing, those two girls have already seen our faces, and we must not let them live! They must have gone into hiding, so I searched separately! The bearded man behind him, who seemed to be the leader, yelled.

"Yes!" A neat answer rang out in the woods.

Watching everyone scatter, his bearded eyes narrowed slightly, and he also saw the figure that disappeared in an instant just now, although he guessed that he was hiding, but at that speed, he always felt that something was wrong.

"It seems to be a knight's skill." He muttered to himself, but then he shook his head, the two people they were chasing were obviously not very old, and they were both women.

"Maybe it's a mistake." He comforted in his heart, and immediately participated in the search.

Behind a big tree, Freya, who had disappeared, quietly looked at the Saladin soldiers scattered in the distance, and her neat words just now were also heard by her, which also confirmed what she said.

The two swords had already been drawn by her, and the silver blades reflected her cold, dirty face.

They had been separated by the woods and grass, and they turned their backs in the trees, and Freya tried not to expose her body as much as possible, and her footsteps in the distance were getting closer and closer.

She took a deep breath, and the strength of her whole body tensed to the point where she could explode instantly, her eyes fixed on the shadow under her feet.

The footsteps grew closer.

Freya's grip on the sword also became tighter and tighter, and her body slowly squatted.

The 'click' footsteps stopped abruptly.

Freya's eyes narrowed, and the whole person burst out from behind the tree, the cross sword in her right hand directly raised, and the short sword in her left hand stabbed straight at the same time.

'Huh!! ’

'Puff'

The soft touch was transmitted from the sword to Freya's hand, there was no imaginary resistance, a clear line of blood extended from the chest to the forehead, the throat was stabbed by the short sword, and before he could make a sound, the man with the machete slowly fell down in a daze, and he didn't understand what was happening until he died.

Deliberately dodging the blood spurting from the other party, Freya quickly put away her twin swords and groped around the man, finding a silver medal on his body.

After a cursory glance, the front of the medal was a lion-like pattern, and there was text underneath, which seemed to be the name of the holder.

Without looking closely, Freya took it directly into her arms and used her agility to quickly hide.

With one person missing in an instant, it was impossible for the scattered people to find out that Freya was gently wandering through the woods, using her agility to avoid the sight of most people.

Killing someone didn't bring her any psychological burden, since the incident with Olisses, Freya now has no fear of fighting, and death is gradually not worth mentioning in her eyes, after all, this world is supposed to be like this.

Crouching quietly in the grass, Freya looked at the three people who came over, her wrist holding the cross sword slightly upturned.

As it entered her attack range, almost instantly, a silver-white sword light suddenly lit up.

'Puff'

'Puff'

The sharp blade combined with the extremely fast speed sliced through the heads of two of them, while the last one was pierced through the throat by the short sword in her left hand, and she fell to the ground and died without a snort.

"What's going on! Harry, Ryan, what's wrong with you guys? The three of them suddenly collapsed, allowing one of the people next to them to notice the anomaly.

Suddenly, a silver dagger shot at him, slanting through his eye socket and out of the back of his head.

"Five!" Freya, who counted carefully, calmly pulled out the short sword from the man's head, and the red and white brains stained the sword body, making her frown slightly, throwing it away, and then hiding it again.

"Captain! Colt is dead! "A man with an axe found the first man killed by Freya.

"What?" The beard's eyes froze slightly, and he walked quickly towards the man.

The body lay there silently, with no signs except for two wounds on its body.

"It's an instant kill..."The beard suddenly yelled around, "Don't look for it, gather!" Hurry up and assemble! We've hit the nail on the head. ”

Hearing the order, everyone quickly gathered together.

Glancing at the number of people present, the beard frowned, there were actually five fewer people, and now there were fourteen left with himself.

"In such a short period of time... Looking away, this kind of power is really knight-level. After a little thought, the beard made a decision not to chase.

It is impossible to resist it with the Cheng dΓΉ of these ordinary soldiers, and looking at the opponent's fighting style, it is still at the level of agile knights, if it is more powerful, then it can be seen that it is definitely an overwhelming slaughter.

Of course, if the other party comes out directly with brain damage, maybe the number of people can resist for a while or be lucky to surround and die, but it is obvious that the enemy is not a fool and knows how to hide.

"Let's go!"

During the order, the soldiers did not speak, and they also noticed the horror of each other, and a group of people slowly retreated in the direction from which they came almost next to each other's nervousness, ignoring even the corpses of their companions.

Freya crouched on the branch of a large tree and quietly watched the scene below, her figure obscured by the wide, dense foliage, and if she didn't pay attention, she couldn't see that there was a person hiding there.

Killing five people in a row in a short period of time finally shocked the group of people, although she wanted to leave them all behind, but this was just an idea, she also knew where her limit was, and if she fought against five or six people at the same time, she still had the confidence to kill them without hurting a single one, if it was fourteen or fifteen, it would be another matter.

Of course, in this battle, she also understood the gap between herself and those ordinary soldiers, if she was really promoted to the knight level, then even more than thirty ordinary soldiers would not be enough.

Touching his chest, which was gradually heating up due to rapid movement, the air mass seemed to become more and more active in the battle.

It wasn't until the group had completely disappeared that Freya came down from the tree and followed her memory back to the place where the maid had hidden.

Casually pushing aside the weeds, the maid named Eri had fallen asleep in tension and detachment, and the sound of even breathing was heard.

Gently patted the other person's face and woke her up.

When she woke up, he pulled her straight into the woods.

It was impossible to go back to the main road, and there must have been more people waiting for Saladin's soldiers who had found them, and the carriage was not to be thought of, for the Grimm Territory was less than half a day's journey in this place, and although it was the speed of the carriage, it might be possible to rush back before dark on foot.

"I have to tell my father about this!" Freya frowned slightly as she walked, and when the soldiers of other countries entered her own territory, she only thought of two words, invasion.

The woods are overgrown with weeds, making it almost impossible to see in the distance, and if you were an ordinary person alone, you might lose your way.

However, this environment is not very difficult for Freya, who has seen the map and knows how to survive in the wild in her previous life, and can easily discern the direction, although there may be some deviations from the real destination, but the general direction is correct.

The dagger had been hidden behind her back, and Freya was now holding the crosssword and slashing at obstacles while pulling Ellie to trot.

This world is not where the wildlife of the earth is on the verge of extinction, where some ferocious beasts hide in the thick woods, some even more terrifying than people.
