037: Rescue Success?
"It looks like we're missing out on a lot. www.biquge.info"Pete and Fennier rode a horse together, and they came to the battlefield that had ended. Seeing the corpses lying on the ground, Fennier couldn't help but cover his mouth, as if he was a little uncomfortable. "It's really strange that the doctor is not used to seeing blood?" Pete did not forget to tease her, which was regarded as revenge for being treated rudely before.
Fenniel ignored her, she turned over and dismounted, and helped the medic to look after the wounded, treating the wounds with great skill, and from time to time checking the corpses to see if they could find one that still breathed.
For an alternate priest of the Embra church, her kindness is understandable. Pete shook his head, not paying too much attention to her, he had more important things to do. "Are you sure that the Pope has already been killed?" he asked again, and the captain replied impatiently, "yes, yes, if you don't believe me, go and see his body for yourself, it's over there." ”
"......" Pete asked no more, because he had walked around the place again and again, but did not find a single word of corpse, which was in line with the image of the Pope. "I knew you weren't going to be done easily. Pete clutched the reins tightly, he had imagined that it was all over, but alas, it could only be an illusion.
Bestiality, for Arthur, is nothing more than a legend, though it is much younger than many legends. "Hehe, when Eve told me that he had seen a real bestiality, I never believed it. Arthur thought to himself. The mercenaries surrounded the monster, or rather, the beastly Thomas, but no one dared to strike rashly - they could all clearly see that Elias was thrown ten meters away by him!
"Roar!!" Arthur didn't know how to describe the monster in front of him, his whole body was covered in a thick layer of hair, his limbs became thick and long, and he had claws, and his face had become like some kind of beast, Arthur couldn't tell what it looked like, and the strangest thing was that he had a pair of antlers on his head. If it's a sheep's horn, it's a demon crawling out of hell.
"Don't be impulsive, use a bow and arrow!" Arthur saw that a few mercenaries couldn't bear it and wanted to risk their lives, he hurriedly reminded him that with his previous performance, it was difficult to defeat this monster in hand-to-hand combat.
"Yes, listen to this kid, let go of the arrows!" The mercenaries heard Arthur's proposal and expressed their approval, and several impulsive mercenaries also held back for the time being, staring at the beast vigilantly, forcing him into an encirclement, unable to escape easily.
Thomas waved his claws, unsheathing the spears that could threaten him, but did not move further.
Maybe it's a delusion, Arthur doesn't seem to have a strong desire to attack, it seems, reason is better than wild?
"Release!" the arrow pierced through Thomas's fur mercilessly, digging into the flesh beneath it. Thomas, who was in pain, covered his head with his hands in pain, and blood dripped from his wound to the ground.
Arthur was a hunter, or rather, he had been hunting with an experienced hunter for many years, and gradually he had mastered the way to judge the emotions of animals by their demeanor. There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with this applied to Thomas now.
Thomas didn't seem to have any desire to fight back, and he had several arrows stuck in his body, but he just kept backing away. "God, he's in ...... Afraid?" Arthur didn't know if he was a beast or a human right now, but either way, he came to the conclusion that Thomas seemed to be afraid of us.
"Wait, stop!" it was too late to judge whether this was correct or not, and there was no point in continuing to hurt this poor man who seemed to be vicious. Arthur spoke, but it was too late, and a second wave of arrows had already pierced Thomas's body, who was screaming in pain.
"I said, stop! something is wrong!" Arthur shouted with a headache, and only then did the mercenaries stop. "What's going on? We're going to kill this monster. A mercenary asked. "He doesn't seem to have lost his mind, I think he's still a human being. Arthur said that he was always right, but the mercenaries didn't buy it. "Who cares, it hurts our boss, and it may hurt many more people, and I will never give up this good opportunity to kill it!"
If Arthur was in good shape, he would have to give the mercenary a punch. Unfortunately, he didn't even have the strength to say a few more words.
The mercenary raised his hand, and the bow and arrow were attached to the bow. Thomas's eyes were full of timidity, and he looked at the arrows that shone with cold light in horror. "Roar!" seemed to overwhelm him with fear, and he leaped so hard that he disappeared from everyone's view in an instant. "Ahh Thomas waved his arms wildly, and Rao did so, still flying several of the mercenaries.
A mercenary was flown up to Arthur's side, appearing unconscious. "It's good now, we're all going to die here. Arthur picked up his bow, only to find it difficult to even hold it. "Ha, the 'beast' is going to die at the hands of a real beast. He thought to himself as he shook his head violently, endured a strong feeling of vertigo, and joined the mercenaries who were already on the verge of collapse.
Even in his heyday, Arthur didn't think he could help. I have to admit that although I have hunted many wild beasts, not many of them have been hunted with bows and arrows, at least not with arrows.
"Whew!!" Thomas's emotions were agitated, and he created a vacuum for himself, and no mercenary could get close to him within half a meter. "Stand back, all stand back, you're no match!" Arthur ordered the rest of the mercenaries as he pulled out one of the wounded mercenaries. "Let me come, I have a way to deal with him. ”
He must be crazy, the mercenaries have only one thought in their hearts. Still, they did as Arthur had instructed, and they all stepped out of the way to make room for him and Thomas.
Thomas looked around in horror, fearing that they would come up again and hurt himself. Arthur took a deep breath, and if his guess was wrong, he would have to take his life. "Thomas, Thomas Jorgen, huh?" the mercenaries didn't think it was, Arthur wasn't trying to duel him, it was a good way to kill himself.
When Thomas heard his name called, he focused his attention on the red-haired boy in front of him. "Roar!" at least he responded, much to Arthur's relief. "Listen, I don't know what's wrong with you, but if you're still sane, listen to me. Arthur paused and added. "I promise you won't get hurt again, I'm going to ask you a few questions, all you have to do is nod and shake your head, okay?"
Perhaps it was Arthur's friendliness that calmed Thomas down a bit. He looked hesitantly at the soldiers around him, then nodded.
Arthur breathed a sigh of relief, then threw the bow in his hand on the ground, he didn't want Thomas to be stimulated and start to lose control again.
“...... First question, have you ever worked for a merchant named Francis again?" Thomas nodded, the question unquestionable. "So, is he the one who took you here?" Arthur continued. Thomas nodded, then shook his head. "Hmm...... It seems that the situation here is somewhat complicated. Arthur thought for a moment, and at least made sure it wasn't much different from what they had thought at first.
"Do you know Bishop Hakan, the man who brought you all the way here?" Thomas nodded vigorously, of course he couldn't forget that the sanctimonious but ruthless old fellow had made him suffer a lot along the way. "He made you look like this?" Thomas hesitated for a moment, then shook his head slightly. "So, that's true, the legend of the Jorgen family?" Thomas looked sad, but he nodded his head anyway, indicating that Arthur was right.
“...... Why are you hanging in the sky and being cast by someone with evil and infiltrating magic?" Thomas shook his head, he didn't know anything about it. "Well, do you have a way to turn back, uh, normal?" Thomas's wounds had healed, the arrows had been squeezed out of his body by the muscles, and Arthur was secretly amazed at his recovery power.
Thomas seemed to be puzzled by the question, he nodded, shook his head again, then nodded, and then clutched his head in anguish, and fell into confusion.
"Hey, take it easy, don't get too excited, or I can't guarantee that you'll get another bow and arrow. Arthur dissuaded, Thomas looked like he was about to get out of hand again, and now was not a good time.
Thomas opened his mouth to say something, but couldn't say anything but meaningless whimpering.
"Listen, whether you can change back or not, I hope you don't move around now, you just stay here, I'll figure it out, okay?" Arthur suggested, hoping that Thomas would understand his situation, and that if he made any more moves, maybe he wouldn't be fine, but Arthur himself certainly wouldn't be able to get out of it.
Thomas nodded slightly, and then, as Arthur had suggested, he went to the ground in a distracted manner.
Seeing this, the surrounding mercenaries' tense hearts finally relaxed, and they were originally determined to die to fight against this monster.
Arthur has not let his guard down, because the current peace is fragile, and any external stimulus can easily break the situation.
And Arthur's concern is not unreasonable, because the thrill that can easily break the situation is here. When the group of knights rushed here, the mercenaries would have despaired if it had not been for the leader of the group, Lady Eveluna Falst, whom they knew. Arthur, however, noticed more details, such as Eve's unusual demeanor and the lance he was holding tightly.
"Wait!Eve!Don't be impulsive!" Arthur thought for a moment to understand why, but he was still a step too late - Eve rode up the platform, and before Thomas could react, Eve's spear pierced through his body!
