Orlan easily broke the siege in front of him, or the people had no intention of leaving him behind.

Lillian rode her horse behind, and the stragglers on the periphery barely got close to her. In the blink of an eye, the two of them had already broken through this seemingly impossible encirclement.

Then Orlan skillfully climbed on his horse and sat down behind Lillian, so that the two of them were riding the same horse as before.

Orlan found that not far behind him should be reinforcements that had just arrived, and it seemed that there was still a large number of cavalry. The two of them galloped towards the dense forest outside the town. There are not only the traps they have laid in advance, but also the final target location - the Faceless Church.

Controlling the horses to swing left and right in the woods, those traps are perfectly circumvented. And the reinforcements behind him are probably not so comfortable. Although the time was short, and there was no way to set more effective traps, the beast braces specially prepared by Orlan for these cavalry still had some effect.

This lasso, which was originally used in the forest to lock the limbs of the animal, is difficult to loosen once the prey is tied. As for the fact that animal pelts are also torn and destroyed, Oran used to be largely unused.

It may have little effect against horses, but as long as one of them can be hit, it will undoubtedly cause a certain burden and influence on the hearts of the whole cavalry.

And Orlan's bow and arrows were not carried on their backs, although they were unloaded and handed to Lillian during the duel just now, she didn't forget this big killing weapon that belonged to Orlan when she left.

1.4-inch wrought iron angular arrows mixed with other ordinary arrows filled with a quiver, Orlan handed the reins to Lillian, and he turned around and began to bend his bow and draw arrows.

The cavalry that gradually approached behind him was a little stunned, and turned upside down to shoot the bow on horseback? It turned out that this silver-haired man was indeed an elf, and only this race had such a talent for playing these tricks on horseback. Just the right head?

The results did not disappoint them, and the arrows used to pierce the armor were two silver coins each, and three of these arrows were about enough to cover a month's living expenses of an ordinary family, and a thrifty man like Orlan did not waste it at all.

The three arrows caused the three to fall from their horses, and at the same time made the group of cavalry stop the pursuit. This kind of armor-piercing arrow is very effective in penetrating armor, but the actual damage caused is weaker, and in the case of Orlan's deliberate intention, I am afraid that the cavalry who were hit by the arrow will still have their lives.

This group of cavalry was reduced by nearly a third in the blink of an eye, but they had no reason to continue the pursuit after receiving the reinforcement order. So they made the intention of giving up, and it was wise. For Orlan, this saved them their lives and expensive arrows.

……

"You mean you're going to leave me behind and jump off here? And then go to that church alone, is that the way you treat your friends, or do you not believe me? Lillian frowned and stared at those watery eyes, angry.

"Lillian, I need you to wait here for me. Listen, it's because I believe in you that I chose you as my backtrack. Orlan tried to convince Lillian.

She had never seen Orlan so determined, and she knew that Oran's decision would not be changed easily. So she chose to believe in Oran, as she had always believed. Even if it was a very difficult decision, it was the same as when it was done to William whether to "kill" or "be killed".

She could imagine the dangers that Orlan would encounter on this trip, even more dangerous than a dozen times the enemy's siege. Then instead of becoming a burden, it should become his retreat. So she would look forward to it, and the Guardian would wait until he returned.

She took the string of rubies that Oran handed her, and Oran said it was the key to coming back.

"Then I'll wait for you here until you come back...... If you don't come back, I'll ...... I'm starving here! Lillian expressed her reluctance to Orlan in her clumsy way.

"I'm not going to let you starve." Oran smiled, then put his hand on the top of her head and patted it, the movement a little awkward and rusty. He looked at the girl who had just reached his chest, and recalled the moments he had spent with her during these days, in fact, it was quite like an ordinary brother in the village who had been taking care of his sister.

Suddenly, he remembered William's farewell before leaving, saying that he wanted to touch Lillian's head and comfort her like a good brother. But looking at Lillian who was asleep, he still didn't do it, and just left a sentence of "take care of her for me".

And at this moment, Oran is back to the way he was at the beginning for Lilian, except that at this moment he is not a "sister", but a "brother".

The Astra greatsword that belonged to her was back in her hand again, and Oran took it back, because he said that it all started with this dagger, so let it all end.

Hopefully, the "everything" in Orlan's mouth is not the same as her "everything".

This dagger, or rather, is now known to Lillian as "Anri's Straight Sword". It was Oran who got it from the "Church of the Faceless" through the old hunters.

Regarding the Faceless Church, the old hunter is from this place. What Oran knows is what the old hunter taught, so as to explain why Oran, as a hunter, has some fighting styles and skills that are not meant to be hunters. Whether knights, warriors, hunters, or assassins, Orlan is always able to use different attacks in different situations.

And the Hunter Brotherhood is undoubtedly a shell and surface of the Faceless Church in the world. The Brotherhood of Hunters was undoubtedly born at the hands of the old hunters of the Faceless Church. It's just that it seems that the old hunter's idea has gone against the original intent of the Faceless Church.

Orlan would not have doubted that the old hunter was a real hunter, at least by that time he had been a pure hunter, no matter what his past was. Orlan also believed that everything he did was only for the hunters of Odingenam, for the village, and for Orlan himself.

Perhaps it was a sudden disagreement that led to a complete break between the old hunter and the Faceless Church, leading to the siege of the Hunter Brotherhood by the black hand of the Church. And finally ended with the death of the old hunter and the disappearance of Oran.

But that's not the end for Oran, he's back.

……

"Little Oran, maybe it's not a good choice, huh...... But I still have to thank the gods for letting me find you, though that may be what the Faceless Sage meant. But if you choose the sword, maybe you should choose a gold coin, a scepter, a glove, or even a fork...... Now that you have chosen the sword, I can only obey the will of the Sage. ”

……

"Little Oran, you really shouldn't have chosen that sword, I mean I should have given you to ...... in the first place A farmer? Forget it, I'm afraid you'll either die young, or you'll be treated like a little monster...... I mean, I kind of like you. I really shouldn't have taught you this, you see that I'm not your opponent right now, maybe I can still have a draw with you when I'm younger. So...... It's your choice, and it's mine. ”
