69.Chapter 69
Roddy sensed this, but he didn't choose to retreat immediately - because if an army retreated without a fight without any exact reason, morale and sharpness would be greatly affected, and it would also be a great blow to his prestige, so Roddy ordered Ruger to take the team around to the southeast where he could retreat to the steppe at any time, while he and Sodrore approached from another angle.
If it is confirmed that nothing is wrong, you can always order an attack ... If there is an anomaly here, then simply order to leave.
Sodrore was left behind because he was better at observation and reasoning than he was, and Roddy admitted this inwardly, so there was no hesitation in making this decision.
Turning his head and looking at Ruger in the distance with the scouts in a formation waiting for the charge, Roddy raised his hand and motioned for Sodrore to follow him, carefully observing the front as he approached the village-
"If it's a trap, then the other side is already very calm. ”
Roddy frowned, trying to find clues, but just when he didn't notice anything unusual, he heard Sodrol next to him suddenly grab the reins and say out: "Over there - there are traces of a large number of slaughtered animals in the animal pen there. They killed a lot of animals last night or morning." ”
Because of the angle, Roddy didn't confirm with his own eyes what the "beast pen" in Sodrore's eyes looked like, but out of trust in his heart for this future legion, he would never question Sodrore's words, but when he carefully pondered the information contained in these words, Roddy only felt that cold sweat oozed from his forehead instantly!
He tugged on the reins, and as the horses stopped moving, Roddy saw the "empty" pens in the village—the sight of the cover and the blood and dung on the ground seemed to prove his judgment...
"Oh no, it's a wolf cavalry!"
Roddy shouted, immediately raised his hand and made a "retreat" gesture towards Luger and the others in the distance, and then turned the horse's head sharply, and said to Sodrol urgently: "Hurry up!
The sound of horses' hooves suddenly rang out and expanded in the grassland, especially in the open grassland.
Ruger and the others had already ordered a ban in Roddy's training, although they didn't understand why they had to retreat, but no one thought of disobeying the order, and the twenty-eight horses immediately turned to the distance and began to retreat in an orderly manner - because they did not realize the danger and danger involved, these scouts were not moving fast, but when there was a dull sound behind him, Ruger looked back curiously - and the scene in his vision almost frightened him almost fell off his horse.
The originally peaceful Cossack village suddenly tore through the camouflage of calm in a few seconds, like a stabbed hornet's nest, and a large black figure instantly poured out!
"Damn! It's the wolf cavalry!"
"At least fifty, no, seventy!
Luger couldn't imagine how so many wolf cavalry were hidden in such a tent, and the wolf cavalry rushing in front of him shouted slogans and rushed straight forward, giving people the feeling of being a crocodile that had been lurking in the water for a long time, at the moment when the prey approached... Suddenly opened the bloody mouth!
Ruger, Carter and the others kicked the horse's belly frantically, although the acceleration was one step later than Roddy and Sodlore, but because of the position, they rushed ahead on the way to escape - behind them, more than seventy wolf cavalry less than 400 meters away had already rushed out of the village and roared!
And less than 200 meters away from the wolf cavalry, Roddy and Sodrore were running wildly... Although they had confirmed such a danger and warned them a few seconds in advance, the two of them were extremely surprised at this moment - they had no idea that the other party would send so many wolf cavalry!
The wolf is not a mount that can be raised at will like horses, cattle and sheep, and it is extremely expensive to breed, and the bloodline must also require purity, so from a certain point of view, a qualified wolf cavalry is even far more expensive than the light cavalry of the human kingdom. And even a tribe like Rohar's Hammer is still the most ordinary infantry in its main combat power, and the total number of wolf cavalry can add up to 500 is already the limit!
At this time, more than seventy wolf cavalry, if you count the team of Xhosa and those more than thirty people who have been killed, they are enough to become a decisive force in the thousand-level orc tribal battle!
Luo Di didn't understand, who had the courage to muster more than 70 wolf cavalry to ambush him?
The war horse was running, and the wolf cavalry's advantage of short-distance explosive ability was undoubtedly highlighted in the short distance, and it actually bit Roddy and Sodrore at a very fast speed, and Roddy's gaze was still calm when he turned his head - because they discovered the other party's conspiracy in advance, so the opponent's ambush had lost its original effect, and the wolf cavalry could not directly bite it no matter how much they chased it in the 200 meters.
But the next moment, he realized that he seemed to be oversimplifying.
Far away, on the hillside of the Cossack village, the lanky figure in a robe waved the wooden staff full of bones in his hand a few times, and a reddish glow appeared on the wolf cavalry who had just rushed out of the village-and then, Roddy and Sodlore heard the dull footsteps of the wolf behind them speeding up at the same time...
Looking back, the orcs who had been running wildly accelerated again in an instant, and rushed towards them with amazing might!
"Range: Bloodthirsty, but fucking Sarota!fuck!"
Almost immediately, Roddy understood who ambushed him, and his heart instantly froze—but after thinking about it, he had to admit that the only one who could have such a strategy and courage among the orcs could be this cunning witch doctor.
And being able to use this spell means that the other party has exceeded level five in the advanced profession "Witch Doctor", although the opponent's total level may be around level 15 to level 20, but with the existence of the advanced profession of "Witch Doctor", Roddy is destined to have no way to compete with the opponent head-on.
What's more, behind him were more than seventy ferocious and terrifying wolf cavalry!
"Hurry up!
Roddy, who knew the skills of the witch doctor well, naturally understood the duration of the "range bloodthirsty technique", and this made him even dare not turn around and shoot arrows... Because at this moment, any small mistake can lead to being caught up by the opponent... And once the net falls, there is no need to think about the fate of himself and Sodrore!
The bug of upgrading back to blood is not enough to see in front of more than seventy wolf cavalry.
The wolf was rushing wildly, and the sound of chasing footsteps was like thunder that pressed the nerves of all the scouts, and Ruger and the others who were running in front were okay, but Sodlore and Roddy in the rear were gradually getting closer by these guys.
100 meters, 900 meters, 80 meters.
The feeling of suffocation made the two of them bear unspeakable oppression, Roddy looked ahead intently, his body tried his best to run with the rhythm of the war horse under his crotch, Sodrol next to him also looked tense, the oncoming wind blew their eyes painfully, the mud splashed by the horse's hooves just landed, and they were swarmed by the wolf cavalry in the rear, and the gap between the two sides had approached twenty meters under the frantic pursuit.
Although they didn't look back, they both heard the sound of the net being thrown as it swirled in the air.
In Sodrore's mind, such a scene was tantamount to "sitting and waiting" - whatever action he wanted to take, but he also knew that if he had any distraction, he would probably cause the speed of the war horse to slow down... But if you run like this, the enemy will definitely catch up.
What should I do?
His gaze was slightly deflected, and Roddy stared straight ahead, but Sodrore noticed that Roddy had already grasped the horned bow at some point, and four arrows appeared on his right hand holding the reins.
The sound of the net spinning behind him suddenly became urgent, and Sodrore gritted his teeth to try to speed up, but heard Roddy's shouting in his ears-
"Keep running!
The sound made Sodrore stunned for a moment, and he turned his face to look to the side, only to find that Roddy had already released the reins, turned around and raised the short bow...
Is he trying to sacrifice himself?
Sodrol instinctively thought of such a possibility, but the net that had been unfolded in the afterglow had already flown towards this side the moment the orc let go!
In this moment of life and death, everything in his field of vision appeared as if in slow motion, and Roddy, who had raised his short bow, had already mounted a long arrow and turned his body to point at the wolf cavalry behind him - but at this time, he used a completely different way of archery... The arrow, which has always been on the left window, is on the right side of the bow, and the bowstring is no longer pulled by the index finger, middle finger and ring finger "Mediterranean" style, but by the "Mongolian" style of pulling the string with the thumb!
His short bow wasn't aimed at the orcs, but it was pointed straight into the air.
The net fell, and Sodrore could almost imagine Roddy being caught in the net the next moment—but there was a strange bowstring sound in his ears, as if someone had whipped him in the ear...
"Smack!"
The moment the arrow left the bow, it began to skew, and in a very short moment, it twisted ninety degrees in the air, and it actually hit the throwing net in a horizontal impact!
The huge throwing net was stopped in the air like this, and he fell to the ground grazing the butt of his war horse!
Sodrore, who tilted his head slightly, could hardly see what was happening in front of him, but in the next two seconds, Roddy shot three arrows in succession as if "strafing"!
At a distance of about twenty meters, Roddy missed an arrow by using the rarely used "Mongolian" style of bowing, but the much faster rate of fire than usual made up for the advantage of accuracy - in just two seconds, the nearest wolf cavalry was shot down by two people, and the cavalry fell to the ground, causing the approaching team to pull a slight distance.
The wolf cavalry's spirit was completely frustrated by what had happened in the past few seconds, but just as they were about to speed up to catch up again, the effect of the "bloodthirsty technique" finally disappeared.
The wolf cavalry began to slow down as if suddenly giving up the pursuit, and the magnitude was so large that Sodlore thought that the opponent was scared away by Roddy's arrows - but only Roddy knew that the effect of the "Area Bloodlust" was to provide a 10% attack and movement speed bonus for 1 minute, but once the time was over, it had to bear the side effect of reducing the movement speed by 10% on the basis!
Only when the skill level is increased, the "side effects" of this witchcraft will be reduced accordingly, and it is clear that the skill level used by Sarota is not high now, and Roddy and Sodrol were able to escape from the scythe of death...
The horses of the two gradually ran out of the pursuit range of the wolf cavalry, and the others in front of them also slowed down slightly, and after Roddy and Sodrol followed, they entered the vast grassland together - perhaps the heavens favored these scouts, at this time it actually rained again in the sky, and the visibility plummeted, and the wolf cavalry saw that they could not pursue, so they had to slowly stop, and watched the more than thirty scouts disappear into the rain.
