Chapter 9: After the Role Reversal
The sound of horses' hooves approached much faster than the lasso of a horse rider.
Although most of the beast spirit's power is slowly flowing back into the tail, this does not mean that the Tooth Wolf Hunter who only relies on his own strength will be trapped because of this.
"Miss Wolf, you're behind!"
Just as he expected the dangerous flight trajectory behind him, Gray Lu raised his left paw in the exclamation of the suspicious maid, and just reached into the rope ringβββ rope thrower galloped past on his warhorse, the rope ring instantly narrowed, and a powerful pulling force immediately came from the rope.
It is a common means of capturing enemies by human cavalry.
Bang βββ
"Ahh
When the lost horse's horse came to a stop after running dozens of paces, its owner had already fallen to the ground no more than five meters away from the ox cart because of the tight rope, and broke out in a cold sweat on his broken left arm. Because it hurt so much, except for a miserable howl at the moment of falling to the ground, the rider couldn't snort until the pain passed.
The rope loop was still tightly wrapped around the wrist of the gray claw, but unfortunately it could not be pulled.
"Although it was the first time we met, my intuition told me that I could trust you for the time being. β
Looking at the human wolf girl who cut the rope with just a swipe of her fingertips, and the maid who was close to her, there was a look of envy in her eyes that was difficult to hide. She also longs for such strong power.
"Thank you...... Miss Wolf, the master should be indignant at what happened to you, if you can......"
"Show me the way, we need to get out of here first. β
More cavalry were coming, and although they didn't seem to be equipped with sharp weapons that could hurt them, they couldn't get out if they were gluedβββ and of course, they couldn't kill them all.
"14 Hera Street. β
Gray Dew didn't grab the reins, but through the beast spirit, he pulled the cart to the black bull Zhizhao, and it pulled the cargo box and rushed out with them.
"I don't know where Hera Avenue is, you get in the car and tell me the directions. β
"Ahh β
Grey Dew was still on foot, and the maid was a little rough by her into the ox cart, and followed her into the west of the street. As he passed past the wounded street guards who were struggling to move to the side of the street, the hunter picked up a round shield from the ground.
As far as the eye can see, there are still some cowardices, but they don't want to be condemned as deserters, and try to stop her from leaving.
Bell β Bell βββ
Using his shield to block the lime balls thrown by the street men, Ash Lu drove the ox cart forward, speeding up as he slowly drove through the section of the road that might overwhelm people. Onlookers automatically moved out of the way, and another horseman who tried to block was knocked on his back with a shield by the jumping Gray Dew.
"Whew-"
There were more than ten horsemen who caught up from behind, but with the wolf roar of the girl of the tooth wolf clan, the frightened horses did not dare to go any further.
They weren't human, but they were threatened with death.
"Where do we go next?"
When the bullock cart stopped at an intersection, Grey Dew glanced down the street behind her. Her eyesight was good, and even though it was dusty, she could still see the guards at the eastern end of the street.
These armoured soldiers with spears and spears set up in formation, even if they had the help of beast spirits, they couldn't bargain.
"And if there is a crossbow, if we choose to resist, we will really die."
"After 300 meters to the north, there is an alley just big enough for this ox cart to pass through, drive in, and turn left in the middle of the alley into the vegetable market. There are a lot of people there, so it's easy to hide after you get in. β
Looking at the smoke and dust that was getting closer and closer, the toothed wolf in the forest of bricks and stones couldn't help but tense his whole body. The distance between them is less than 400 meters, and if there is a crossbowman, he is completely capable of attacking her.
It's really unwilling to run away with your tail between your legs.
"Miss Wolf, please trust me. β
"I see. β
Under the guidance of the maid, Gray Lu ran at full speed with the ox cart and shook off the street guards behind him, and fled into the mixed area in the north of the city. Or rather, the dividing zone between prosperity and prosperity and poverty and decay?
An hour laterβββ
When Grey Dew circled around under the guidance of the human maid, and finally turned into a dirt alley, the street guards and guards who chased them were long gone.
"Seems to have been shaken off?"
With that, Gray Lu turned around and slapped his claws twice on the neck of the black bull pulling the cart.
"Moo-"
Niu Niu was very tired, and gasped and mooed.
Patting the dust off her body, the maid stood up and held out her hand to Gray Lu, hoping that she could help herself. As a result, the hunter stood there unresponsive, and she had to jump out of the ox cart with her handguard on her own.
"You know, Miss Wolf, if you endure it any longer, I can pay the fine for you. β
"It's different. Taking off his hat and robe, Gray Lu walked to the cargo box, picked up another robe from the ghost, and said as he tried to put it on: "The tail of the tooth wolf clan can only be touched by relatives and spouses, and I have not killed the human, I have been very restrained." As for the fine, I really don't have it, but the people I travel with do. β
Enduring the discomfort and buttoning up, the belt was fastened, and Gray Lu glanced at the other side of the alley.
"Uh...... Miss, what is your name?"
"In Yunman, there are such eyes...... It means death. β
"Huh?"
Muttering, Grey Dew walked over to the human maid and stretched out her right paw towards her. Before leaving the village, she had learned some human etiquette.
"It's nothing, my name is Luxue, and I used to be a hunter. Right now...... Presumably a companion of a traveling merchant. Following Gott's instructions, Grey Dew didn't use her real name, "Thank you for your help, but I think I should go." β
"Huh?" The maid was a little stunned as she held her right paw, which was different from the perception of Gray Dew, "Is that so...... But those street guards and guards are still after you, right?"
"It's natural, but there's not much I can handle. β
"That'...... Do you know how to get around?"
"It's no problem to go back the way you came. β
"That's sure to collide with the pursuers, and you'll have to take a detour from another way. β
"Hmm...... Then I might get lost. β
Looking at the human maid who didn't know her, but was eager to help, Gray Lu narrowed her eyes slightly, wanting to see something from her. Even the orcs who inhabit Yunman know the truth that no profit can not be made early.
"In that case, let's go to our tailor's shop for a snack and then go!" Holding Gray Dew's right paw with both hands, the human maid couldn't hide her excitement and added, "The master is a lover of beast ears, and he likes us subhumans very much!"
The maid's eyes revealed sincerity, and Gray Lu judged that the person she was talking about did like orcs. However, what kind of preference is that, it is not appropriate to judge it at this time.
"Oh, wait, you just said ...... We?"
Seeing that Gray Lu was aware of this, the maid let go of her right paw and smiled meaningfully. Under the watchful gaze of the hunter, the maid raised her hands and removed the ornament named Katyusha from the top of her head.
"My name is Yuna, and I'm a subhuman maid, Miss Luxue, please take care of me. β
Looking at the maid who had lifted up her skirt and performed a strange etiquette to herself, Gray Lu stretched out her paw and poked lightly on the fluttering ears above her head, "Cat people?"
"Whew-"
"What's wrong?"
Looking at Yuna, who suddenly covered her ears and stepped back, Gray Lu narrowed her eyes and began to think back to the cat people she had tried to hunt in Yunman when she was young. It seems that they will have a similar reaction when they suddenly touch each other's ears.
"That...... I'm just a subhuman with cat-human blood, but ...... The ears are still as sensitive as they ......."
"Ah, I'm sorry, I was rude. β
Learning from the wolf-eared Yaman at the city gate checkpoint before, he stroked his chest with his right hand and bowed slightly to Yuna, and thought about the future plan, and let down his guard a little.
"We're all girls, so it doesn't really matter...... So, Miss Luxue, can you consider my proposal?"
"I'm a little hungry, so it's disrespectful. β
So, led by the maid, Grey Dew led the ox cart out of the alley, not looking at the young and helpless sub-Asian and orcs in the dark corners......
At the same time, the streets of Dongcheng District ββββ
Watching the wounded street guards on the ground being carried away one by one, Riot kept pounding his mouth, and Goth sat with his arms folded and thoughtful.
"Tea for two, please use it slowly. The owner of the shop on the street brought tea, and at the same time did not forget to sigh with emotion, "The subhuman female dolls of the tooth wolf clan are so capable of fighting, if they are replaced by orc males, these street guards are afraid that they will lose their lives." β
"But it's not, and it looks like the doll doesn't use its claws, if it's ......"
"Thanks, please bring us two more desserts. β
"Okay, wait a minute. β
The boss was sent away by Gault with a silver coin, and Rioat, who had lost his conversation partner, picked up his teacup with some annoyance and took a sip. The temperature of the tea is just right, otherwise it will have to burn his tongue and brew.
"This tea is good, you get what you pay for. β
"So, Rioat, do you still think that my trip to the Yunman Mountains was for nothing?"
When the boss who turned to leave completely disappeared from sight, Gott picked up the teacup and took a sip, and asked.
"This can only keep me neutral for the time being. Looking at the armored guards on the street, Rioat picked up the cute dessert and held it slowly, "Gort, you have to understand that whether we humans, orcs, or subhumans, after all, are mortal beings. β
When the words fell, the dessert in his hand had turned into caramelized powder and spilled on the table.
"Of course I understand. Looking at the church clergyman who carried the last injured street man away, Gott smiled coldly, "But if it's God, anything can change." β
