Chapter 9: Winrio's Arrow
"Falcon" Winrio raised his bow with a solemn face, pulled the bowstring, and began to aim at the priestess who was fighting the "giant bear" Misha with a dagger. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The bow in his hand has been with him for more than ten years, and every wrinkle on it is extremely impressive; Ever since his hound "Anne" was killed by a wolf, the bow has become his most loyal companion.
Wen Lio didn't want to shoot, although he used to be a good hunter, but he was self-aware when it came to shooting. At least not to the point where Quel'Salas's group of rangers was almost a hundred paces.
His current position was about a hundred yards away from Misha and the female priest with the dagger, and it was naturally not too difficult to shoot the priest at this distance, and it could almost be said that he was almost eighty or ninety percent sure.
But if you want to not hurt the life of the priest, it is a bit difficult, after all, the sword is merciless.
It's not that Winrio is kind and unwilling to hurt people's lives. Rather, he knew very well that kidnapping an apprentice priest and killing an apprentice priest were two completely different concepts.
The consequences of the former were not particularly serious, and as long as he got the ransom and flew away and released the captives, Lordaeron Cathedral probably wouldn't have looked into it. The latter would make him and the prestige of Lordaeron Cathedral completely enmity, and even the other party would hire other adventurers to hunt him, which would be troublesome.
Because of this, the weapons he assigned to Peter and Misha were stuffy sticks and wooden clubs, just to prevent excessive damage to their prey; Unexpectedly, he encountered this kind of accident during the ambush, so that he had to take action, which was really unexpected.
So Winrio was very careful before releasing the bowstring.
Sharp arrows shot at Bridget's back like lightning, and the poor girl was still wrestling with the "giant bear" Misha in front of her, completely unaware of the real danger behind her.
"Shot!" Winrio clenched his fist slightly, but immediately let go.
It did hit, but even at the moment of piercing the girl's body, the speed slowed down slightly, and then deflected.
I saw a holy light sprinkle on Bridget's body, and then a white shield appeared, barely blocking Wen Lio's arrows.
It was Jon, who had been carefully observing the surroundings, intending to search for the vanished thief, but suddenly heard the sound of a sharp arrow piercing the air, and without hesitation, he released a "True Word: Shield" on Bridget's body.
Because Jon knew very well that in this case, if the other party sneaked attacked, he would definitely target Bridget, after all, Bridget was the main combat power, and he was estimated to be a priest apprentice with no combat power in their eyes.
The strength of this archer, who was hidden in the shadows, did not completely block his arrow, but only slightly deviated from the direction of the arrow, so that Bridget's talent was lucky to avoid it.
The sudden cold arrow made Brigitte startled.
"There are archers!"
In a panic, she was almost hit by the wooden stick of "Giant Bear" Misha, although Misha is much worse than Brigitte in fighting skills, but after all, the strong body is here, and Brigitte can't be distracted.
"Be careful, Bridget, concentrate on your opponent and I'll kill that archer!" In a hurry, Jon hurriedly said.
"Okay!" Bridget nodded, and she knew there was no other way but to give Jon her back.
She swung the dagger in her hand vigorously, hoping to deal with the opponent in front of her as soon as possible, because she knew that Jon's strength would not be the match for the archer, let alone a thief with a fierce eye on him.
Wen Lio, on the other hand, calmly drew an arrow from his quiver again, which seemed to him to be nothing more than an accident.
Before he could take aim at his opponent, he saw a blazing light grazing Wen Lio's shoulder, burning his beard slightly.
I saw that the priest who had been watching nearby before emitted a blazing light and shot towards this side.
Jon used Holy Striking, which was almost the only damage skill he could use in his divine talents, and in short, it sent a blast of light to attack his opponent. However, the power is not high, and even if it hits the target accurately, it is difficult to make the opponent lose its combat effectiveness.
Winrio was initially taken aback by Jon's behavior, but soon found out that the spell didn't deal too much damage to him, and he calmed down.
Although he still wondered how this young priest's apprentice had discovered himself hidden in the grass! You must know that you are hiding very carefully, even if you have just shot an arrow, you have not exposed your position, and you should not be discovered!
But don't think too much, at this time, Wen Lio's attention was completely focused on Jon, motionless.
Looking at the quiet ahead, Jon suddenly moved, and he ran at full speed in the direction where Winrio was hidden.
A sinister smile appeared on the corner of Winrio's mouth, and he pulled out an arrow from his quiver, not the previous quiver, but a smaller quiver on the other side.
It is filled with arrows that have been tempered with the venom of poisonous snakes.
Wen Lio had already discovered that among the two priest apprentices in front of him, the female priest was likely to be the eldest lady from a noble background, while the male priest knew at a glance that she was born a commoner.
If the former dies, something will naturally happen, and if the latter dies, I am afraid that the death of Lordaeron Cathedral is barely acceptable.
What's more, now that the warning flares have been issued, it won't be long before the guards will arrive, and time is running out, so Winrio is ready to quickly resolve the battle in front of him.
Quickly get rid of the male priest first, and then join forces with Misha and Peter to kidnap the female priest.
Then extort a ransom and fly away!
Winrio aimed at Jon's heart, and just as the bowstring in his hand was about to be released, his eyes suddenly flashed with a strange color, it was a light of fear!
Wen Lio's hand couldn't help but let go, and the bow that had been with him for more than ten years actually came off.
