Volume 1 The Lonely Arcane Road 002 Woodland Distress on
Along the Jungle Avenue, about three kilometers of stone paths, into the mud path, they entered the depths of the Elwin Woodlands.
The sky was heavily covered by the thick canopy of trees, and the woodland entered the night in advance, and a moist smell mixed with the smell of rotting leaves and earth came to the face, and the bare skin did not feel a layer of goosebumps, and a layer of cold dew was wiped with my hands, and the chill was pressing.
Brian lit two torches and planted them on the left and right sides of the carriage, and the flames swayed in the wind, illuminating the surrounding area.
Charlie lifted the corner of the curtain, raised his eyes and looked out, it was pitch black, the shadows of the trees in the forest on both sides were longing, and from time to time there was the sound of inexplicable beasts neighing, and occasionally two points of green could be seen in the grass to follow the carriage movement, which made people feel hairy in their hearts.
Not long after, a small caravan came from a fork in the road, looking at the banner should be a trading house in Henes City, it is still a small trading house, it does not use mercenaries, but has its own escort team, the guard has thirteen people, including shield warriors, swordsmen and rangers, the combination of professions near and far is reasonable, and the strength is not weak.
Brian drove the carriage to follow, and the caravan did not expel them, after all, they are of the same race, everyone is mutually beneficial, to put it mildly, once they are attacked by a demonic beast, the people behind can also be thrown out as bait, which greatly improves the survival rate of the former.
The carriage followed the convoy, one in front of the other, dozens of meters apart, and traveled several kilometers in such a tacit understanding.
Suddenly, there was a rustling sound in the jungle, mixed with a low roar, and the horses neighed uneasily, and Charlie jerked open the curtains, and saw a little bit of light shining in the bushes, so dense that the scalp of the man was tingling.
It's a demon wolf!
A stream of blood rushed to the brain, Charlie's hair exploded, and the picture of the demon wolf raging involuntarily appeared in his mind, bloody and terrifying, a single demon wolf may not be too strong, but when they are in groups, they become a terrifying existence, judging from the number of green eyes in the grass, the number of demon wolves is really a lot!
Charlie suddenly had a strong instinct that this group of wolves might be a trap for him, and the consequence of being alone would be death, and that the convoy in front of him was not arranged by them, otherwise, it would be a mortal situation.
Charlie yelled at Brian, "Rush to the front!"
Brian was not slow to react, and the whip slammed into the old horse's buttocks, drawing out two blood marks, and the horse was frightened and rushed towards the caravan.
At the same time, the caravan reacted accordingly, and the neighing of horses, the roars of warriors, and the exclamations were incessant.
"All in formation!" one of the knights roared with his sword raised.
The chauffeur of the convoy showed great driving skills, and several carriages turned counterclockwise around the muddy road, and soon a circle was formed, the rear of the carriage was unanimous to the outside, the horses were protected in the center of the circle to prevent the threat of the demon wolf from fleeing in terror, and the servants skillfully put blindfolds on the horses and plugged earplugs.
Praise be to Allah, the true God!
The convoy didn't stop the two men's last hope of survival, and Brian drove the carriage through a narrow passage that the convoy had clearly left him, reining in the horse's head in time to fill the last gap in the circle.
Brian didn't have time to catch his breath, and hurriedly thanked: "Thank you! Thank you very much!!"
At the critical moment, this caravan showed their good intentions, otherwise, if they were left alone under the siege of the demon wolves, they would be dead and lifeless for the two masters and servants.
"Good driving skills!" a bearded man praised.
Brian said modestly, he noticed the emblem on the carriage of the convoy, and secretly screamed in his heart, this is a local trading firm in Haynes City, with the "reputation" that Charlie has accumulated in the past, it will definitely not be treated by them, and if they find out Charlie's identity at this time, will they throw the two of them out directly?!
Brian pondered what kind of lie he had to make up so that Charlie would not come out of the carriage.
At this time, the carriage door opened, Charlie stepped out of the carriage by himself, Brian was anxious, but he couldn't express it, and he was stunned when he saw Charlie.
Clever!
It turned out that Charlie didn't know where to find a face towel to cover his face.
Next, as the owner, Charlie personally expressed his gratitude to the owner of the team, and there was no jerky feeling of hairy boys in his words and deeds, and he could also talk to those rough samurai, and did not show an arrogant attitude because of their humble background.
When did Charlie become so sensible?!
Brian didn't believe his eyes a little, he felt that the little master was both familiar and unfamiliar, not only exposing his excellent memory ability, but also becoming witty, he was going to observe for a while, if there was really some change, it was to risk the anger of the Grand Duke, and he had to find a way to tell the Grand Duke about this change, and he was happy to save some of the situation.
But before that, you have to get over the current predicament.
One after another black shadows appeared on both sides of the bushes, and under the light of the torch, it could be seen that this was a blue wolf about 1.6 meters high, as strong as an adult horse, with unkempt hair, interlaced canine teeth, and the most striking thing was its pair of wolf eyes that shone with demonic light.
It is said that the attributes of the demon wolf can be spied from the color of the wolf's eyes, red is to fire, cyan is to wind, yellow is to earth, green is to nature, they are born to control elemental energy, can release different spells, the reason why demon wolves are more difficult than ordinary wild wolves is because of this reason.
The beard frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Our battle is a battle of life and death!
Charlie bowed his head and said, "Okay! We'll do what we can, and hopefully we can help." ”
At this time, no one can hide it, Brian quietly took out a magic staff, stuffed a cloth bag for Charlie, and said solemnly: "Be careful." ”
Seeing the movements of the two of them, his eyes lit up, and he kindled a little hope, whether there are mages in one team or not is two teams of different levels.
At the same time as they communicated, the convoy escorts all entered a state of imminent battle.
The five rangers were distributed in five different directions in the circle, and a ranger next to Charlie took out a delicate and small quiver from his backpack, opened the seal, and it was only loaded with three arrows, he carefully took out one and put it on the bow, the arrow body lingered with a faint light, and he could feel the surging of the elements when he stood next to him, not all rangers were qualified to use this kind of special arrows.
The bow is half full, the arrow is on the line, and the target falls between the eyes.
The demon wolves lowered their bodies, their four legs bent like springs, ready to attack.
As the situation became more and more solemn, Charlie's heart beat uncontrollably, and his blood was surging, and he didn't know if it was because of excitement or fear.
Suddenly, only a high-pitched wolf howl was heard, and dozens of demon wolves rushed in from all directions, terrifying jumping power, and even more frightening was that their discipline was no less than that of an army.
"Release!" a loud shout from the crowd ignited the entire battlefield.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The sound of taut bowstrings being released was incessant, arrows were shot in all directions, and the shield axe men carried their shields, blocking the gaps in the chariots with their thick bodies, while the swordsmen stood behind them, watchful.
Among all the arrows, only one is the most special, with the sound of the arrow breaking through the air, the body of the arrow glows with a pale orange light, a tortuous inscription loop is lit, a flower in front of the eyes, the arrow out of thin air seven can measure the arrow, fan-shaped launch......
Brilliant Split Arrows!Boom!Boom!Boom......
Before the demon wolf landed, the six arrows burst violently, tearing a huge gap in the wolf's body, which showed the fresh wriggling internal organs, the blood arrows burst out, and the huge momentum stopped the momentum of the demon wolf, the power was really amazing, and it scared Charlie!
A round of volleys, seriously injuring four demon wolves, lightly injuring eleven heads, had little impact on the battle situation, what is surprising is that these seriously injured demon wolves are ferocious, and their combat effectiveness does not decrease but rises.
And look at their own side, the carriage and the car were torn apart by sharp teeth, the goods were scattered all over the place, and the entire circle was overviewed, there were several positions where the guards were weak and on the verge of collapse, and several demon wolves jumped directly into the car formation from there, tearing everywhere, creating greater chaos, and several swordsmen blocked it and fought with the demon wolf.
Demon wolves also have intelligence, and after a brief moment of confusion, they set their sights on the man who was being guarded by the shield axemen and the swordsman, and their eyes full of magic fixed on the target.
"Protect the master!" the captain of the guard roared, his strong arm slammed into the bloody mouth of a giant demon wolf.
Steel and canine teeth clashed, shattering a few wolf teeth, the steel blade was also missing a few cuts, the machete cut the upper and lower jaws of the wolf's head a full ten centimeters, and the turbid sputum and blood mixed together gushed out, emitting a fishy smell, constantly stimulating Charlie's hungry stomach, and the acid boiled.
The seriously injured giant wolf was aroused to ferocity, biting the blade and wrestling with the captain of the guard, the wolf's head swayed wildly, tearing the wound, triggering more violent bleeding, and it seemed to not know what the pain was, and for a while, it actually dragged the command of this team.
At this moment, Charlie forcibly held back the discomfort of his body, glanced around, the information of the entire battlefield was collected, and a large amount of data came to his mind, and he guessed the possible collapse point of the battle situation in just a few seconds.
Seeing the situation clearly does not mean that the problem can be solved, according to the current trend, the entire defense line will collapse in thirty seconds, Charlie's back is cold, he has smelled the smell of death, and yelled at Brian, who is dazed and confused: "Hurry!
It doesn't matter if Brian can do this or not, at least he has an authentic magician's staff in his hand, and he has more means than his own magic apprentice who can only use two basic spells, right?!
A demon wolf felt this particularly calm existence in the crowd, stared at him with red eyes, and roared, two strong retreats suddenly accumulated, and like a taut spring, it was released, and the wolf claws threw a heavy ball of mud, and the huge wolf body flew up in the air......
And at this moment, Brian, who turned around, couldn't take care of him anymore.
