So the path of fate divided everyone in two, and at least for the time being, the team needed to act separately to make their own efforts to break through the current predicament.

Urs turned his head to look back, his gaze moving beyond Koto, who was prostrate behind him, to keep an eye on the dark elves' pursuers, and saw the black war lizards carrying the knights on their backs, and the wolf maidens who were also carrying themselves and the dwarven warriors were in hot pursuit. While Thea's speed wasn't slow, the well-trained Drow Knights were still able to seize the opportunity to unleash some bits and pieces of harassing attacks.

The long-bladed spears they had used in close combat were temporarily hung back in the leather harness behind their armour, and then they loosened the reins with their own balance, and their right and left hands drew their bows and arrows from each side of the saddle and began to fire.

Castaño's mounted archery skills originated in the Hessac steppes east of the northern part of the Golden Warbler Empire, and as the pride of the steppe peoples, it is not common in areas outside the nomadic realm, not to mention that the geographical environment is not suitable for large-scale combat of cavalry troops.

Miera's elite soldiers appear to have been trained in a variety of combat techniques. Although their accuracy of cavalry was far worse than that of the steppe nomadic cavalry that Urs had in his previous life, when the flying arrows swept around them on a large scale, there were always a few flying tracks that seemed to fall on the three of them, but fortunately, the fortress shield of Koto's deputy was wide and large.

The dwarven warrior rode halfway on the wolf's back, and raised the blue tower shield diagonally to resist the arrows, as if he had lifted a strong steel plate to separate the raindrops that hit it from himself, so that the enchanted giant shield in his deputy suddenly covered the small part of the space where he and Urs were like an open umbrella—

The arrows of the dark elves could not hurt him or the young man for a while.

In her giant wolf form, Thea is large and susceptible to arrows, but her newly acquired druid transformation ability not only greatly strengthens her physical fitness, but also makes the surface of her skin extremely tough, as if her whole body is covered with an invisible layer of iron vest, which bounces off all ordinary arrows that do not have any enchanted qualities.

The Drow knights in the saddle of the black lizard continued to pursue the three of them, and after a while, as the open and flat subterranean plain in the field of vision gradually took on a hilly and undulating slope, it seemed that they finally realized that their shooting was not an effective means of attack, and that the reason for the ineffectiveness was not that they were not skilled in riding and arching.

Soon, one of their riders began to report to his commander: "Lord Servis, our bow and arrow have failed to penetrate the dwarf's shield and the wolf's skin. ”

“…… Change the crossbow. Servis calmly and calmly analyzed the situation, and then calmly and decisively ordered a platoon of soldiers at the front of the formation to change their weapons.

As the commander of a cavalry unit, he didn't like crossbows very much, after all, the crossbows used by the Drow soldiers were generally used to deal with special monsters in the dark regions, at least the Zelgon family in Morberas City was armed with the army.

Such a crossbow is relatively bulky, the shooting angle is limited, it needs to be equipped with a specially made thick crossbow arrow, after a round of shooting, it takes a short time to twist a new crossbow arrow to carry out a second shot, in terms of flexibility is not as good as a short bow, rather than to use it for cavalry, it is actually more suitable for infantry, and the few weapons have the advantage of being very domineering in armor piercing.

The drow knights in the front row of the formation were instructed by the commander to lay down their bows in unison, and drew the crossbow from the other leather bundle on the same side of the saddle.

Their crossbows were wrenched in advance, and as soon as they drew them, they raised their hands to aim, and then launched a new round of fire with neat movements!

Koto held the shield obliquely, and his ears under the helmet suddenly heard the nearby air seem to tear out a terrifying "whoosh" sound, and then the left arm holding the shield felt several heavy forces hit the shield, and the sudden impact almost knocked him off the wolf girl's back.

"Strange thing! Why did their arrows suddenly become fiercer? The dwarven warrior cursed in his heart, and suddenly grinned and complained.

He tilted his head slightly, and his eyes were just about to poke out of the edge of the shield to see what was happening, but Urs's voice suddenly exploded in his ears and shouted, "Thea! ”

Affected by the sound, he immediately stopped what he had just planned, and reflexively lowered his head to look at the wolf girl first, it didn't matter if he didn't look at it, he was so frightened that he opened his mouth and exclaimed: "Oh my God! Thea, are you alright?! ”

"I... Can hold back ......" Thea replied, gritting her teeth from the cold sweat on her forehead, her breath rushing and disrupting under the influence of the severe pain, the source of which came from a thick crossbow bolt stuck in her hind legs.

The rod of the crossbow bolt was exposed, and the triangular arrow with the barb had sunk deep into the muscles beneath the fur, causing pain to the wolf maiden while releasing a paralyzing poison smeared on the arrow between her muscles, which quickly slowed her running.

She inhaled coldly, her throat trembled and gasped for the cold breath she had inhaled, and suddenly she looked up and saw several large stalactites protruding from the ground like low walls not far ahead, as if to prove that everyone's route was not wrong, as the area under her feet approached the nameless hill from the exit plain of the broken mine, and the surrounding terrain was gradually becoming rugged and complicated.

Thea froze and didn't think much of it, but rushed behind one of the large stalactites in severe pain, regarded it as a temporary cover, and then bowed down and confessed to the young man and the dwarf: "Urs, Koto, we can't get rid of those pursuers like this. ”

Urs heard what she was saying, suppressed his anger and looked at the arrow wound on her hind leg, and turned back to signal Koto to get down from the wolf's back with him and asked, "What do you want to say, Thea?" ”

"I'll lure them away."

"What? How can this be—" Koto froze, and nearly slipped and fell to the ground.

"At least then, we still have a chance to turn the tables, as the crow said." Thea explained, raising her claws and snatching the Lurker's Ring from the baggage around her neck and handing it to her, "Right, Urs? ”

In the previous escape, she had figured out the plan that the crow had proposed.

Urs looked at her with some shock. Although he had understood the poet's thoughts thoroughly at the time, the thought that he had to trade Thea's safety for a glimmer of hope made him feel extremely nonsense.

He hadn't forgotten the battle in the Temple area of Twilight City two months ago, and he had almost lost the girl in front of him once!

However, time is as cruel as death, and he will not be allowed to hesitate for too long at this juncture. He knew why Crow Que suggested that Xia break through with him and Koto, and why did Xia say at least then everyone would have a chance to turn around......

He knows all these reasons. Reason knew these damn reasons!

“…… Wait for me to come back. So about a second passed, and he forced himself to make a ruthless decision, his determined gaze burning like a clenched fist, but the words seemed to be squeezed out of his throat with a lot of strength.

"Hmm...... Waiting for you to come back. Thea looked at him, her golden eyes blinked in her sockets, and her meek smile inadvertently soaked the corners of her eyes, then she turned her head and ran out with a hidden fog technique.

Druid 1 Ring - Hidden Mist: Creates a magical fog that blurs vision in a specific area.

Thea's giant wolf size was undoubtedly a conspicuous target for the pursuing forces commanded by Servis. The dark elves' eyes were keenly aware of the wolf girl's reappearance, but they were misled by the magical fog created by the divine arts, so they could not immediately see if the girl's silver wolf was still riding on Urs and Koto, and the formation was immediately led away by its turn.

With Thea's help and the cover of the terrain, Urs and Koto seized the opportunity to move on towards the distance in the objective.

Perhaps because the dwarves weren't technically mentally retarded, or because some of the memories that the Grey Court Sage Festina had helped him retrieve had allowed him to recover some of his pre-head intelligence, Koto had succeeded in activating the invisibility effect of the Lurker Ring when he left with yours.

Although Urs's Cloak of Shadow Scales has used up the twice-daily shadow attack stunt, there is still a fixed reward for the level of the Hide Stealth skill, and his not-so-ordinary agility attribute is barely qualified, ensuring that both he and the dwarven warrior successfully escape from the pursuit.

He and the dwarf struggled to restrain the inhibition in their hearts and not turn back.

After walking forward for a while, feeling the sound far away from his ears, Koto gritted his teeth to control himself from yelling, and then turned his head to look at the young man unwillingly: "Captain, is it really okay for us to do this?" We left Thea behind! How can we leave our companions behind?! ”

For the key to the Gate of the Forsaken must be your blood, Your Highness...... If the Sage of the Grey Courtyard hadn't lied to us.

And the Ring of the Warbler only recognizes the nobles of the empire as the masters, so my identity is so good that I can't die.

Urs replied to him in his heart, and the thought of simply leaving everything behind and going back to fight to the death with those dark elves flashed through his mind, and then he suddenly felt his neck heat up like fire.

He froze for a moment, looking for the source of the fever, and raised his hand to feel the brand on the side of his neck, the shackles of the slave and the knight's coat of arms, and he remembered that this set of patterns symbolizing the slave knights of the empire was undoubtedly only the mark carved on his neck by a northland officer with a red-hot blade.

Urs couldn't figure out for a moment why this artificially left imprint pattern suddenly caught his attention like a lit fire, but the next moment he felt some kind of silent call guiding him—just like at the same time, Koto suddenly felt the blood in his body boiling, as if some divine being was hiding behind the darkness in some direction to summon his soul.

This summoning was like the guidance of a mission, running through intuition, causing the two of them to turn around in unison, as if they had determined something in their hearts, and then relied on this strong intuition to run straight to that side, and after a few minutes finally found that the other side of the pitch black had come to an end in their eyes—

But there was no other way there, and the huge underground space was as dead and silent as a lake for a while, only a tall and thick gray rock wall like a city wall blocked the front, so anxious that Koto was stunned and scolded on the spot: "Hell! Are we going in the wrong direction? The Oblivion's Gate isn't here? ”

As the words fell, his left hand holding the giant shield of the fortress suddenly trembled, as if he couldn't accept the efforts of everyone to hold on to such a result at this moment, and his eyes hurriedly looked up along the surface of the rock wall, but he still couldn't see through the height of the dome in this underground area.

Urs's heart was not much calmer than he was at this time, but fortunately, he observed the huge rock wall in front of him much more carefully than the dwarf, and after a few seconds, he immediately reminded the latter like a life-saving straw: "Wait a minute, Koto, look here-"

As he spoke, his finger raised to signal His Royal Highness the Prince of the Hearthfire Clan to look at the place he was pointing.

Koto came back to his senses and hurriedly leaned closer, only to realize that the surface of the rock wall seemed to hide a secret, and there was a not-so-conspicuous handprint-shaped groove in the direction of his gaze. ()
