24.Chapter 24: The Dark Raid (3)
The bumps brought by the gallop of the war horse made Sally almost unable to recognize the road in front of her, and at this moment she couldn't help but regret why she didn't practice riding well in the past - although the nobles had to learn to ride horses, in order not to deform their legs, a girl like her would not spend too much time on riding, so at this time, Sally, who was rusty with her movements, didn't know how to make the war horse move faster, and only knew how to whip blindly with a horsewhip.
Looking back, faintly in the moonlight, she saw that the orc wolf cavalry had only divided a small part to deal with Old Gesen and the others, and there were still ten wolf cavalry rushing straight towards her!
This was absolutely unexpected, and at this moment, Sally also truly realized... How determined his own brother was to get rid of him.
After tearing the moral bottom line, Sally was really caught off guard by the fangs behind the shadow.
The war horse under the crotch slowed down slightly because of the master's distraction, and in just such a gap, the wolf cavalry following behind instantly approached the dangerous attack range of thirty meters.
I made a lot of calculations, but in the end, I still didn't count my brother.
Sally's eyes couldn't help but show despair. The shadow of death was already looming, and she hadn't even fully understood why her brother, who had always lost at her hands in the past, had won so completely this time—could it be that he was deliberately paralyzing himself in all the previous intrigues?
The self-confidence accumulated for a long time seems to have been destroyed in an instant by these unaesthetic orc wolf cavalry in front of him - let a girl who has never held a sword face a team of wolf-like orc wolf cavalry, the end is doomed.
Desperately trying to escape, Sally found herself unable to shake off the wolves behind her. She didn't even dare to turn back, for fear that if she made a mistake, she would be greeted with a fate worse than a tragic death.
Twenty meters.
The wolf cavalry, who did not have good vision at night, squinted slightly, and actually used his hearing to discern Sally's position - the wolf cavalry who rushed to the front had already raised the net in his hand and began to swing it...
Despite his poor eyesight, the wolf cavalry is confident that he will never miss the net - reminiscent of what appears to be a human woman being chasing, he has even begun to imagine himself being the first to "enjoy" the other... Although Lord Sarota ordered that no one should be left alive, before or after the death of their prey, these savage beasts who had coveted the delicate bodies of humans for a long time would never miss any opportunity to indulge themselves.
The excited roar of the wolf cavalry echoed across the steppe with undisguised desire.
However, the next moment, the orc who was about to throw out the net was shocked!
"Poof—"
Before he could react, an arrow from the side hit him directly in the side - the sound of the arrow hitting the leather armor sounded like it had been hit by a stone in the wind, and the arrow sank into the orc's body, causing his body to involuntarily tilt to the side...
In the next moment, the net he was about to throw was tilted to his side due to the deformation of his movements, and the net that had not yet been unfolded suddenly swept into the wolf of another wolf cavalry, causing the opponent's mount to be tripped directly to the ground!
"Phew!"
The fallen wolf directly threw the wolf knight away, and the orc, who was hit by an arrow on his side and held a net in his hand and didn't have time to let go, was torn off the wolf alive.
The screams replaced the excited roars just now, making the originally unsuspenseful pursuit suddenly become strange.
The sudden change in the night made it unclear to the wolf cavalry for a moment what was happening - they were not suitable for fighting at night, and if it weren't for the instructions of the witch doctor, and the "stupid" lighting of the torches by Sally and her party, it would have been difficult for these wolf cavalry to determine their target so quickly. But once the light source is gone, their disadvantage at night becomes more and more prominent.
At this time, although they were attacked, they didn't even know where the arrow came from!
In the darkness, Roddy rode on his horse and drew his bow to aim at the dark shadows in the distance... The silhouettes of those orcs at the top of the grassy slope were very clear to Roddy's eyes - to be honest, if he shot from above, Roddy would probably not be able to find the enemy's traces in the dark night, but at this moment, the special angle and timing allowed him to succeed in a sneak attack effortlessly!
However, a hit can only be regarded as his luck, usually a hundred shots and hundreds of arrows in extreme environments are absolutely greatly reduced, being able to hit fifty meters away is already Roddy's extraordinary performance, at this moment he has already quickly caught the second long arrow, and violently pulled the horn bow.
After archery reached the realm of Luo Di, there was no longer those cumbersome action essentials or formulas in the minds of beginners, but completely transformed into instinct - the calculation of wind speed and angle in the mind was no longer concretized, but gradually became a part of the subconscious...
The level 30 threshold of "Ranger" is to see if a person can turn this skill into combat instinct, and Luo Di, as a shadow hunter who is about to touch the level 60 threshold at level 59, even if he has a level 2 physical ability at this time, he still plays a combat level that is unimaginable to ordinary people.
"Whoosh-"
The sound of the arrows breaking through the air made the wary orcs stand on end, and the wails that followed made their hearts even colder, and the second arrow struck the shoulder of a wolf, causing it to fall to the ground with the knight behind it.
It is important to understand that the hit rate of bows and arrows in the era of cold weapons cannot reach more than 30% at all. In the past, it usually took a swarm of more than fifty people to deter orcs, and it was common sense that a single archer could not pose any threat to a team of wolf cavalry.
Although they had been educated on these concepts before the battle, when the remaining seven wolf knights faced Roddy, these orc scouts felt a sense of panic that they had never felt before!
Throughout, these orcs were indoctrinated with the notion that "humanity is weak" and "our strength is overwhelming", and even their leader, the witch doctor, Sarota, told these brave orc wolf cavalry that "you need not be afraid of humans, because they are naturally afraid of us, and when they wave their scimitars, they will only be terrified!"
But the actual situation made them have to re-understand the strength of human beings: two arrows, three wolf cavalry fell off their horses, one was killed and two were wounded, and the team went to three percent of the combat strength in an instant!
And just as these orcs hesitated to find Roddy, they shot arrows one after another, causing one of the orcs to fall off the wolf again!
"Ge Laozi, you can't play the game for so many years in vain!"
Gritting his teeth and firing continuously, Roddy knew that he needed to start a tactical evasion, he fired a seventh arrow, kicked the horse in the belly, and ran in the other direction - squinting his eyes to make sure that Sally's shadow was already running away, Roddy relaxed slightly, and immediately began to concentrate on the battle at hand.
Speaking of which, Sally's escape was his purpose, but Roddy was not confident that he could escape with his life under the siege of these wolf cavalry, so when he saw those wolf cavalry finally turn to him and rush, he immediately began to run...
There were only six wolf cavalry left in the immediate vicinity, and Roddy's final arrow hit one of the orcs in the arm, but it didn't kill the other. At this point, the orc broke the shaft of the arrow, pulled out his net pocket with a hideous face, and let the wolf speed forward, ready to take revenge on the human who had caused them terrible losses - but they didn't even notice it... The team of ten people was disrupted by Luo Di alone, and unknowingly gave up the most important goal.
The wolf cavalry are not stupid, and let the guy with such accurate archery shoot freely, and it is estimated that it will not take a few minutes to wipe out the whole army, so they desperately rushed towards Roddy, only thinking of quickly solving this terrible archery master in close combat......
The wolf cavalry rushing down the grassy slope accelerated towards Roddy, and it took almost ten seconds to reach a range of fifteen meters behind Roddy, and in the dim light the orcs could even confirm his position by hearing alone, and the throwing net in his hand was picked up again - and this time, Roddy secretly cursed his mount for being too slow, but he also knew in his heart that it was too late to stop the other party.
Listening to the sound of the net pocket spinning through the air, he suddenly tugged on the reins at the moment when the orc made a move, causing the war horse to turn, and in order to balance the center of gravity, he even hid completely inside the war horse - such a rapid turn could easily make the war horse lose its strength and break the horse's legs, but Roddy had no choice but to bet that his war horse could survive this bend.
"Whoa!"
The net was almost attached to the butt of the war horse and landed in the air, and Roddy, who was holding his breath, breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had successfully dodged this fatal blow - but before he could turn over and return to the horse, Roddy, who was holding the saddle tightly in his hand, felt the war horse on his side tremble suddenly!
"Suffer!"
Almost instinctively, he let go of his hand, and jumped backwards with the help of the backkick of his legs—and in the next moment, the war horse actually broke its leg and rolled out with a neigh!
Even with experience, Roddy, who jumped away from the war horse and fell to the ground at the last moment, couldn't feel much better at all - he tried to curl up his body to reduce the damage, but he still rolled seven or eight times on the ground due to huge inertia before stopping, and the horn bow behind his back almost vomited blood, and the double knives were thrown and scattered on the ground - after stopping his body, it took Roddy more than two seconds to recover from his vertigo state, and the first action after he recovered consciousness was to pick up the horn bow and quiver and pounce to the side!
"Whew-"
The cold blade tore through the air, almost slashing against Luo Di's thigh, and Luo Di's action just now, even if it was half a second slower, must have been cut into two pieces!
