Chapter 30: The Lone Wolf of the Great Plains (I)
"Boom!"
Accompanied by a dull thunder, heavy rain that had been brewing for a long time once again fell on the Great Plains of Hamp.
The surface of the earth, which had just dried up, had once again become a myre of mud and puddles, and in such weather, there was no living creature in sight in the entire Great Plains.
However, there are exceptions -
Outside an abandoned village in the Great Plains, a dark figure suddenly appeared, his soaked uniform clinging to his body, and a bow and arrow on his back, but the soldier limped into the village when he walked, slammed open the door of a house, and collapsed against the wall.
This soldier was Will, who had left Ron, and it had been no easy for him in the Hamp Plains for the past two days.
When he was separated from the large army, in order to facilitate his own journey, Will did not carry a lot of food and drinking water, and in his plan, he had to find the troops of the Principality of Noah within three days. As a native of the Hamp Plain, the location of every grass and tree on the Hamp Plain, and the location of every village, Will can almost give a rough idea.
However, the Belu scouts, who had been patrolling the Great Plains of the Hamp, still discovered Will, and the Belu army patrolling the Great Plains was like mosquitoes that smelled blood, and they would not let anyone who could be Noah's army slip under their noses.
If it were someone else, I am afraid that at this time it would have become fertilizer on the Great Plains of Hamp, Will used his archery skills to constantly fly kites with the Belu people, and the Belu soldiers who died under his arrows along the way were definitely not less than their hands.
Although this tactic can keep himself in a state of mobile combat to the greatest extent, but at the same time, Will has to face an important problem - that is, his arrows cannot be replenished. After a day and a night of wrestling with the enemy, Will's quiver was empty.
His food and water had long since been depleted - in fact, not so long ago, his drinking water was just rainwater accumulated in puddles. Not only that, but in the process of escaping, he also injured his foot, and his left arm was grazed by a stray arrow, and the power of the crossbow arrow was very great, even if it was a small abrasion, a large muscle in Will's left arm was directly torn.
Will gasped for breath, gently ripped off the strip of cloth tied to the wound on his arm, and the continuous heavy rain made his wound not heal at all, and the pain in his heart came from the wound in bursts, and the raindrops fell on the roof of the house, making a dull crackling sound, and outside the house, thunder was loud, and heavy dark clouds were like night, even if it was day.
Will swore that this was definitely the most painful experience he had ever had since he joined the army, and he didn't even know where the army of the Independent Brigade had retreated, and the heavy sense of oppression in the air was like the killing and war that had been bred in the Corridor of Death for many years.
Will even had suicidal thoughts in his mind, the game of cat and mouse was definitely not fun, all over his body, it seemed that every part of his body came from a painful feeling, and Will, who was proficient in herbology, knew very well that his wounds, in such weather, were soaked in rain for a long time, and there was definitely a risk of inflammation.
The villagers of this small village have long since fled, compared to themselves, these war refugees are the most painful, and this place can only provide temporary shelter for themselves, and Beru's army does not know when they will search here.
Struggling to his feet, Will tried to search the room for something to satisfy his hunger, but there was nothing else in the room except some furniture. Noah's army's tactics of fortifying the walls and clearing the wilderness made Will a victim at this time.
"I don't know, Brother Ron, if they succeeded. Will muttered.
Although Will is acting alone, he has been thinking about the situation in Yoder Town, and he has imagined a lot of scenarios in his mind, in fact, he wants to stay in Yoder Town, he wants to fight side by side with Ron and everyone, but the mission of the soldier dictates that he must take on this difficult task alone.
Ron, like an uninvited guest in his life, even now wondered if there really was such a person in the Independent Brigade, who was calm and calm in the face of the enemy, in close combat, in one-on-one situations, without any Beru being his opponent, and even had abilities that only magicians possessed. This person's body has always been covered with a veil of mystery.
If Ron and Meria, who had not resisted the attack of the Beru in Yod, would they have to continue on the run?
However, Will immediately dispelled such thoughts, as a soldier, the most basic and important thing is to trust his comrades. What I have to do now is to find Noah's army as soon as possible and bring reinforcements to Yode Town.
"Huh?"
There was a sudden faint cry from the monotonous sound of the rain, and Will's eyes snapped open, and he rose from the ground, opened the door, and staggered to the edge of the fence outside the cabin, looking in the direction he had come.
A pair of more than a dozen Beru soldiers, armed with sharp blades, quickly marched towards the village, Will could not judge for the time being, whether this group of people had been chasing his own group of soldiers, these people may also have come to the village to take shelter from the rain, but once he was discovered, he did not have Ron's terrifying ability to fight against ten.
Will tiptoed quietly towards the back of the village, and there was only one thing he had to do now, and that was to avoid fighting as much as possible.
The roads in the village were full of puddles, and Will's shoes were filled with water, and the wooden houses, haystacks, and even abandoned pergolas in the village were Will's best shelters, and the cloudy thunderstorms played an excellent role at this time.
"Who?"
Just as Will was about to leave the village, he remembered the creak of the hut door being pushed open, and a sharp shout rang out behind Will.
Will's footsteps faltered, and the cold hairs on his body stood on end, and being caught by the Beru soldiers in this place was tantamount to a dead end.
Without hesitation, Will took a straight step forward and ran wildly, and at this time, he forgot even the fact that he had an injury on his foot.
", catch him!"
The soldiers behind him spoke fluent Beru, and Will couldn't help but curse in his heart, in this village, there were already Beru's soldiers, and he really got out of the tiger's den and into the wolf's den.
