Chapter 173: Hunting

The next morning, it was bitterly cold.

Those who were ready to leave gathered outside the camp, exhaling and rubbing their hands.

"It's so cold. "Some people complained that it was much colder than in the city in this kind of place, and when they came out of their tents in the morning, they thought it was back in the snow season.

According to the rules of hunting, everyone will be divided into different teams, and there can be no people of the same force in each team.

Leon stood in front of the camp, waiting for the arrows to be distributed, each person only had thirty arrows, once they were used, they could not be taken back and reused, and when the people in the team used up the arrows or gave up, then they returned directly to the camp, and the latest was before dark, and those who were late were considered to have given up.

"Ten thousand gold coins, you Ravenwood are really rich. Fury took the black gloves and made fun of the gamble as he wore them, which seemed to him to be completely self-willed, and gave Hampshire so much money for nothing.

"So you're agreeing to cooperate. Leon looked ahead and said with confidence.

"You lost 10,000 gold coins, do you still have any money?" Fury didn't finalize.

"We'll know the results tonight. Leon thinks that confidence still needs to be there, in case it wins.

The soldiers took out their assigned arrows, each with exactly thirty arrows.

Emma took the quiver and looked through it, and it seemed to others that she was checking the number.

The hunt didn't know when it would end, so he asked Emma to enchant a one-day time limit, trying to make sure that each one worked before it got dark.

Grant walked over.

"Ten thousand gold coins. Grant already had the word victory written on his face.

Leon just smiled and didn't respond, if it was just an ordinary arrow, then they would definitely lose, if there was an enchanted arrow, the result would not be necessarily, even if it was a loss, then it couldn't lose that breath, it might be stupid to do so, then be stupid once.

"Your Excellency. Emma brought the quiver and handed it to him.

"Oh, do you want to send a woman on the field today?" the corners of Grant's mouth went up, adding ten more women couldn't win.

"My lord, I want to ride around the camp tonight, too. Emma said that she was fed up with the provocative tone, and if she could, she would have pinned him to the stake with a javelin.

"Of course, there are a lot of people in Hampshire. Leon glanced at Grant, "You said yes, right?"

Grant had been prepared for a long time, and he guessed that Leon might be playing tricks in the hunt, so he arranged for the knights to follow their team and keep an eye on their every move.

Eventually, if there is a Ravenwood, there will be a Hampshire and an Elspool.

After the team was distributed, everyone set off towards the mountains and forests.

In Leon's ranks, there were Grant, Albert, and the lords of the other two counties, followed by two servants who specialized in gathering prey.

I came here yesterday because of luck, and if you are lucky, you can meet one, and if you are unlucky, you will not meet anything.

In order to make hunting fun, there are special people who release prey in the forest today, so there is no worry about not having a harvest at the end of the day.

After walking some distance into the woods, they found several rabbits, each of whom drew an arrow and shot it indiscriminately, and luckily, according to the paint on the arrows, one Leon, one Grant, and one other lord.

"I thought you were good at archery. Grant withdrew his bow, he had just observed Leon, there was obvious hesitation when shooting the arrow, probably not so confident in himself.

"Everyone's pretty much the same. "Leon shared three arrows, and Grant also used three, and the count is the same.

"yes, almost, haha. Grant was very proud, he was most worried about Leon, because hunting was a regular activity for the royal family, and now it seems that it is nothing more than that, as for those knights, they don't even have titles, how can they win over others.

In the time that followed, Leon began to save money, and Ravenwood only had four people, and it was still difficult to surpass them.

He rarely practiced shooting, and if an archer from a small town came, the final harvest must be around twenty, and he could only play temporarily at this time.

As we continued to go deeper, we encountered fewer and fewer other teams, and everyone scattered farther away.

Leon dismounted sideways, took his bow and hid in front of the grass, he found a spotted deer drinking, drew his bow, and was just about to take aim, when two or three arrows had already slashed and scared the spotted deer away.

"Damn. Then he remembered what Fury said, hunting is a fierce game, no one will wait for you to strike first because you find your prey first, whoever gets the hand is whoever gets it.

The spotted deer fled to the other side, was hit by an arrow shot from the shadows, and fell to the ground and struggled.

After a while, the minions brought their prey back.

"Good archery, I don't know who it is?" Grant saw clearly, shooting his prey and knocking him down at high speed, that person was by no means simple.

"Just go back to the camp. Albert on the side said, the arrow was in the neck, and it was easy to recognize.

The two men had always been talking about something before, but today they were quite quiet, and they didn't say a word along the way, and if Leon hadn't seen it before, he would have thought they didn't know each other.

This Albert, in particular, not only did not speak, but he was only watching the hunt, he did not use a single arrow, it seemed that he was just coming to see the excitement, or to spy on someone.

"Lord Leon, let's go. Grant wanted to keep going, but there was still more than half of the arrows in his quiver that were useless.

Leon calculated that for large prey, such as spotted deer and shorthorn, he could not knock down with one arrow like the man just now, he would need to count arrows or more, and in that time, he would create opportunities for others, because the prey was the fatal arrow.

There are also small game in the whole hunting grounds, such as rabbits and foxes, and birds in the sky, but they hide in the trees and have no chance to attack, and they will only waste arrows.

Grant finds a fox and chases it with an arrow.

However, the shot missed the leg, and the fox was injured and was still able to escape.

He couldn't give up easily and wanted to catch up.

"Whoosh. ”

An arrow from behind hit the chest, and the fox fell to the ground lifeless.

"Thank you. "Leon put away his bow, this prey is his own.

"How is that possible?" Grant didn't believe it, how did he do it at such a long distance, but there was no one else here, and the bow in his hand was also taken randomly, there could be no fraud, what was going on?

"It's just a fox, and you care so much, or do you care about the 10,000 gold coins and are afraid of losing that bet?" Leon wouldn't explain anything to him.

"Count yourself lucky to have picked up a bargain. "Grant rode his horse on, and by now he had four prey, and Leon had six, and everyone had half the arrows, and the difference would be three or four at most. As for the knights under their hands, their skills will be stronger, so in the end it will only be themselves who will win.
