Chapter Ninety-One: As You Wish

A sudden cold arrow made Steward Clay say goodbye to the embarrassing situation.

In the carriage in front of the Marquise de Ryder, a guard of the Marquis's Mansion clutched his throat and widened his eyes trying to press the vital wound, but the blood gushing out quickly soaked his shirt and quickly took away all the strength of his body.

The guard slumped limply in his seat, the speed of the arrow was so fast that before he could hear the bowstring sound, a sharp pain came from his throat, and he lost all consciousness with it.

The driver beside him turned pale with fright, but he didn't dare to leave his seat without permission because of the strict family law where he was duty, otherwise if the car overturned and caused casualties to the young master or young lady inside, he would not be able to cut off ten heads.

Under the shroud of fear, the rider could only tighten the reins by bending his neck, barely controlling the carriage from losing control, and constantly muttering the prayer of "Blessing of the God of Light", hoping that the Great Emperor of Heaven would be the same as the last time, and bless him from a catastrophe.

"Enemy attack!"

The terrible siren sounded very timely, but it was extremely short, and the mercenary who raised the alarm had just spoken, and before he could raise his arm shield, he was already shot in the chest in an instant, and fell directly under the horse.

With the death of the warning, the sound of "buzzing" bowstrings came and went, the low vibration unique to the strong bow and crossbow was still echoing in people's ears, and dozens of sharp feather arrows were shot from the mountain walls on both sides, and the unprepared convoy immediately sounded screams, and more than a dozen figures fell.

The arrows are shot quickly and accurately, and they also pick on key points, either in the throat and face, or in the chest, abdomen and back, and the mercenaries and guards who are hit by the arrows will be seriously injured even if they do not die, and they will basically lose their combat effectiveness in a short time.

Fortunately, the attackers did not attack at the same time, the cold arrows fired on both sides of the narrow mountain road came one after the other, and the mercenaries in the team paid the price of their lives and shouted warnings, otherwise, more than a dozen people would have fallen from the arrows.

"Calm down! Dodge! Guard!"

Clay, the fat chief who was following the main car, rolled on a donkey, rolled over from the horse, and hid behind the mount, the image was a little embarrassed at the same time, somewhat funny, and he didn't forget to shout to the convoy for emergency response.

It's a pity that in the end, the party that was ambushed, no matter how quickly they reacted and responded properly, they still couldn't avoid chaos, especially horses and other mounts, which would naturally cause panic, not to mention the servants of the Marquis's Mansion and other people. Then there was a neighing of horses and a roar of horses in the valley, and the dust was flying, and the screams of young women when they panicked were incessant.

On the top of the mountain wall, a tall, thin figure scolded: "Damn!"

If it weren't for the group of targets below suddenly speeding up for no reason and jumping out of the ambush circle they had set up early in the morning, how could they be forced to disrupt their plans, catch up and force their shots, and the scene became uncontrollable?

According to their original idea, a poisoned arrow to take away a human life, it is standard, this is what he personally tested with a large living person, seeing the blood sealing the throat, the dose is absolutely nine out of ten, under the first wave of cold arrows stained with powerful venom, the convoy escorted by the mercenary group will lose dozens of lives, where is it as simple as only more than ten people have died now.

Another rain of arrows poured down towards the convoy on the mountain road, but this attack, which had lost the opportunity to sneak attack, achieved very few direct results except for a few wails.

The mercenary team was already vigilant, knowing that while disrupting the enemy's plans, it was very likely to cause the enemy with an unbalanced mentality to pursue fiercely, and among all the means, the bow and crossbow were the best choice to launch an attack, so almost every mercenary held their shield and prepared to meet the arrival of cold arrows.

It's just that as we all know, before the attack is actually launched, no one knows where the cold arrow will shoot from, and it is impossible to keep the practice of holding a shield to protect oneself all the time, and it is inevitable that some unlucky eggs will be shot. However, after the first cold arrow is fired by the sneak attacker, the sneak attack becomes an open attack, and as long as the attacked party no longer rushes and concentrates on guarding, the second wave of bow and arrow strikes will not achieve the same significant effect as the first one.

Indeed, after paying the heavy price of more than ten people who were hit by arrows, the cavalry of the Black Lion Mercenary Regiment quickly dismounted their horses, hid behind their horses, and held shields to protect themselves from cold arrows;

The infantrymen strode to the side of the carriage, or behind the horses of their fellow mercenaries, and covered themselves with the help of the protruding edges of the carriages and the shields in their hands, moving with unimaginable speed.

It is precisely because of this that after the second wave of arrow rain, everyone can find that only a few people have fallen in response to this response, and they are basically the guards of the Marquis's Mansion, and the drawbacks of the serious lack of actual combat experience are fully revealed at this moment.

"Everyone, be careful!

A rough voice sounded from a hidden corner, the shouting mercenary just dragged the partner who was injured and fell to the ground to a safe place, and was about to pull out the arrow to bandage the wound for him who was obviously just an arrow in the thigh, but he found that the partner had black blood from the mouth, and his face was black lying on the ground and convulsed violently, the situation was so serious that his life could not be saved.

Everyone hurriedly stood up to the arrows flying in the air, and took the time to look at the partners who were hit by the arrows around them, and sure enough, all the mercenaries or guards who were shot in the first round of attacks, regardless of whether the part of the arrow was critical, had already fallen to the ground with black faces at this time, or stiffened, or curled up in a ball, most of them were constantly cramping and vomiting, and they were no longer alive.

For a while, everyone cursed one after another, scolding as ugly as they were, and cursing the attacker for cutting off his children and grandchildren.

The sneak attack is shameless enough, and the arrows are poisonous, it seems that the attackers clearly want to bury them all here, how can they not be extremely angry?

Since they knew that the enemy's arrows were infected with poison and would die when they were hit by the arrows, the people involved in the attack were even more engrossed in playing the role of a turtle with a shrunken head, lest they be injured under the poisoned arrows and die in vain.

As a result, the attacker's third round of feathered arrow attacks did not even kill a single one of the guards of the Marquis's Palace, who were inexperienced in combat, except for a few horses that were pulling carts or used as cover, and did not achieve any results.

"Damn, damn it!"

The tall and thin figure on the mountain wall scolded again, looking unscathed on the outside, but in fact, his heart was already dripping blood, if it weren't for the consistent image of the unfathomable, he could hardly help but jump to his feet.

In order to ensure that this sneak attack was foolproof, he made a special trip to buy some ambergris of poisonous dragons from the underground black market at a high price, because the price was too high, the weight of these ambergris could only soak more than a hundred arrows of feather arrows, even so, the price paid was so great that his flesh was painful, and he felt that the input was not proportional to the output.

At this time, every poisoned arrow is equivalent to a Jin Keen that represents a superior standard of living, and every time he misses, it means that this Jin Keen was thrown into the depths of the ocean in vain, and he disappeared without even a splash.

If according to the plan he had originally made after careful investigation, the site that the convoy passed by happened to be located in the middle of the valley, whether in terms of the convoy's footsteps or the size of the site, it was the best place to rest and have lunch, and the Black Lion Mercenary Group was experienced and would definitely not miss such a suitable repair site, then while the convoy was resting and preparing lunch, he led his troops to launch a sudden sneak attack, and the unsuspecting and hungry and exhausted target would leave more than a hundred corpses behind。

In this way, relying on the powerful lethality of the venom, regardless of whether it hits the strong among the opponents or not, it can directly kill most of the opponent's vital forces, and the remaining small number of people are limited no matter how powerful they are, relying on these master subordinates they specially brought to join forces to besiege and clean up.

However, after all calculations, he didn't expect that the opponent would violate the normal law, and would rather go hungry than suddenly accelerate away without warning.

One wrong step, one wrong step, the original perfect sneak attack plan has evolved into a bad one, the plot has turned into a strong attack, the situation is completely beyond his control, uncontrollable factors are becoming more and more, and the situation seems to be getting worse and worse. This made him, the leader who personally led the attack from planning to implementation, both dissatisfied and worried.

The latter financier spent a lot of money, not to attack and kill a few insignificant mercenaries and guards.

After three waves of arrow rain, the poignant killing field suddenly quieted down, except for the faint groans of pain from the unlucky ones who had not yet died after being hit by the poisoned arrows, the whole valley was quiet, and even the horses were extremely humane to quiet down, so as not to attract attention and become targets, the scene of ruthless killing just now seemed to be just a phantom, under the bright sun, quite unreal.

"Is it because you've run out of poisoned arrows?"

Normer said to Dawn.

As soon as the attack happened, the two of them tacitly got together, hiding behind Da Hei's sturdy Kui Niu, and relying on Da Hei's huge body to dodge all the poisonous arrow attacks.

They didn't expect the enemy to be so despicable and ruthless, and they were still infected with poison on the arrows used for sneak attacks, and in an instant, they subconsciously chose to hide behind the mount Dahei, Kui Niu is tall and strong, and his effect may not be very obvious in ordinary times.

But even if you know that the arrow is poisonous, you don't have to worry too much about the big black, the Kui Niu is a magical creature, living in the vast area where the human world and the demon world intersect, it has rough skin and thick meat, and it is born with the characteristics of not being afraid of ordinary toxins, as long as it is not extremely rare poison, even if it pierces the thick and hard skin of the Kui Niu comparable to a stone, the ordinary venom may not be able to help it, and the diluted poisonous dragon ambergris is not afraid.

Otherwise, how can the Kui Niu live unharmed in the gray area of the two realms where the environment is harsh and all kinds of poisonous insects are infested from time to time?

In other words, Dahei, a creature that is rare to see in a Kui Niu, simply exerts the advantages of "endurance" to the extreme, and is close to the level of perversion.

It's a pity that Da Hei, who is the "cow" in question, definitely doesn't think so, seeing Chenxi and Normer quickly flashing behind him and hiding, talking about the problem one after another, but letting himself accept the "baptism" of poisonous arrows, Kui Niu skimmed the huge cow's mouth, and rolled his eyes silently, obviously disdainful of the owner's behavior of using it as a shield.

It's so unrighteous!

After confirming that he and Dawn and Plitander were all safe and sound, the boy began to figure out how to fight back, lying on the ground and letting others beat him was not his style.
