Chapter Eighty-Seven: A Brief Confrontation
A mighty lion with flaming red hair was ridden under the crotch by a tall brown-black skinned orc, which stood out from the boat because of its color, and its hideous fangs were faintly visible, contrasting with the orc's mouth on its body.
However, Eren and his party didn't find anything interesting, and they were waiting for it as the orc was staring in the direction of the boat.
Although before the orcs found the boat, they were already lying in the boat without revealing their figures, and it seemed that they were not discovered by the orcs, but for some reason, Alan felt that the orcs were not looking at the boat, but them!
"Was it really discovered?"
That gaze was full of malice, although there was no such thing as a sixth sense, but judging by the orc's current behavior, it seemed that he did not intend to let the ship go, but was full of interest in it.
The lion followed the boat in the middle of the river with a brisk step on the shore, while the orc looked sideways at the boat. Although it felt that the orcs should have discovered something, Allen and his party still peeked cautiously, trying not to expose their figures.
Father and son Amis and Sugi vigorously trumpeted the abilities they had been given to speed up the boat.
It's just that even though the speed of the boat is getting faster and faster, even so fast that the father and son can't control the direction, they haven't thrown off the orc.
It was just past noon, the sun was still shining, and the acceleration of the boat was clearly visible, which made the orc let out a muffled howl, and then out of nowhere he took out a longbow engraved with tadpole characters, drew his arrow, and shot in the direction of the boat.
"Whoosh!"
With the buzzing sound of piercing the air, the long sword shot rapidly in the direction of the boat, and from the sound, you could see how great the force attached to this arrow was, and Alan had no time to blame the Emis father and son for urging the boat to speed up the exposed action, because he was already covered by two shields!
The arrows were very accurate and powerful, crossing the wide river, shooting directly at the side of the boat, and the iron arrows even pierced through the ship's baffle, bringing out scattered sawdust with a pop, exposing Allen's eyes.
"Bang!"
It was really exposed in front of him, because it was lying on his stomach, so Allen's head was leaning near the baffle, and the steel part exposed after the arrow was pierced was close to his eyes under his stunned expression, the arrow was cold and sharp, trembling slightly, only a short distance, it could be close to his eyes!
"Holy!"
A chill rose from the bottom of his heart, and Alan couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth. Then before he could react, the sound of arrows breaking through the air reappeared!
Because he was covered with two shields, Alan didn't know what was going on outside at this time, but it was clear that he wouldn't sit still here.
Although it is unlikely that the arrow will be aimed at him all the time, because he is not exposed to the orc's line of sight, who can say this kind of thing, if the orc feels that the place where Eren is is very pleasant and wants to shoot another arrow, then he will be unlucky to go to his grandmother's house.
So when he heard the noise, he immediately grabbed the shield on his body and stepped forward!
However, this act did not seem to have any effect, and just as Alan scooped up his shield, a soft shout sounded from the boat, and then Alan heard a sound of gold and iron on the side of the boat.
Subconsciously looked up, and a rather magical scene immediately came into view.
I saw that the arrow that shot was blocked by a stone that could be seen everywhere on the side of the road, and the stone seemed to shoot from the boat, and the volley quickly rolled in the air, colliding with the iron arrow!
Because of the fast reaction, Alan can see the last afterglow of this picture, the stone and the arrow because of the attached force of the hedge, and the pop of falling into the water in pairs, so that he involuntarily rose a wave of admiration in his heart, and turned his head to see that the bald Andre was staring at the shore, and at the same time put away the projectile action.
The pebble that shot out speaks for itself.
"That's accurate!" Alan exclaimed, a little surprised that Andre, who usually looked unreliable, was so accurate.
However, he didn't think much about the scene just now, because the orc began to shoot arrows with his bow again, and was about to shoot the third arrow.
However, he was only halfway through his operation and had to be terminated prematurely. In the face of the attack of the orcs, the small boat will naturally not be restrained, as the eldest brother Andre is defending with a shield, and the younger brother Andre is also not idle after throwing the stone, just when the orc is about to build a bow and want to shoot the third arrow, Andre has already done the same thing one step ahead!
I saw the bowstring in his hand hum and make a pop, followed by an iron arrow with golden fire that pierced the void, dragging out a bunch of flaming tails and shooting like lightning towards the orcs on the shore.
The orc didn't seem to expect a counterattack from the boat, so he didn't dodge at all, or he wanted to dodge, but it was too late.
The arrow was as fast as fashion, and in the blink of an eye after it was shot, it was already close to the orc, and the orc only had time to resist with his arm before he was pierced by the golden arrow!
Yes, piercing, because the arrow burning with golden flames was so conspicuous that Eren could cross the wide river, and clearly see it disappear through the orc's body, not knowing whether it would continue to fly for a while or if it had pierced through the dirt and pierced into the earth.
But it doesn't matter anymore, because even more alarming situations have emerged!
The part where the orc was shot through didn't seem to be critical, he just trembled slightly as if nothing happened, and planned to continue to pull out the long arrow from the quiver to attack again, but his behavior was interrupted by a sudden sharp pain in his body, and then after a while, a terrible scream appeared from the shore and reached Eren's ears.
"Seems the orcs are set on fire?"
Alan stared at the shore, because of the distance, he could only see a rough idea, but could not see the specific happening, vaguely, there seemed to be some fire on the shore, and the orcs seemed to be struggling, what the specific situation, but he couldn't understand.
But before he could be confused, Andre responded to his question with a smile.
"If you plant my incendiary arrows, that guy won't be able to die if he doesn't want to!"
"Flaming arrows?" Alan looked at Andre with interest, asking for some details. Andre was also scared, and it seemed that he had no intention of hiding anything, and he opened his mouth and was about to speak, when a strange howl suddenly interrupted him.
The howl came from the shore, loud as if breaking through the sky, the sound was like a lion and a tiger, startling the countless hidden birds in the surrounding plains, Alan subconsciously frowned, and couldn't help but turn his head to look in the direction where the sound came from.
As he had guessed, the cry came from the mouth of the orc, and the vast voice full of savage breath appeared from the mouth of a humanoid species, strange and mysterious, and Alan was quite shocked to see.
The scream only lasted for a few seconds before it came to an abrupt end, and Alan and Amis couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief at this, although they didn't know exactly what this cry was, but just from the fact that the sound was made by an orc, they didn't have to think about it to know that it must not be a good thing.
The orc had finished howling and collapsed on the shore motionless, the brightly colored mount hovering around him, wailing from time to time.
Alan looked at the situation on the shore at this time, and then looked at Andrew: "What did he just do?"
Andrew's face was serious, and he replied in a deep voice, "He's signaling." ”
"Signal?" Alan couldn't help but think of something, and his mood sank a little.
Andrew nodded, "Yes, the signal to summon other orcs, whenever the orcs are facing death or can't cope with the situation, they will let out a loud howl like this just now, which will attract the attention of nearby orcs." ”
"We had to prepare early. ”
