After nearly half an hour of resting here, and through Pauli's improvised traps and risking his life, Rhodes and his companions reduced the number of enemies to four and two dogs within seconds of the start of the engagement—he and Ciri against two, and Pauli alone with the other two. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 There was no more suspense in the Info battle, and after teaming up with the witch to kill the two opponents, he immediately joined Pauli's battle, and the last killer who tried to escape was chased and solved by the red-eyed and angry Rod.

The battle was fierce and swift, and in less than two minutes, this adventurous homage came to an end.

Pauli was injured.

Rhodes was also wounded, but at least he appeared unscathed on the outside, and the swordsman was not so lucky. With his strength, he wouldn't have been so embarrassed to deal with the two killers, but those two hounds affected the battle. The dogs didn't understand that the mission was complete if they killed Rhodes, and when they saw that Pauli had jumped from a tree and slashed the spy, their handler, they stared at him and bit him.

Under the siege of the two men and two dogs, Pauli was injured before Rod and Ciri could settle the opponent - he was stabbed in the back and injured his lungs, his right arm was bitten by the dog with a bloody tooth mark, his head was slashed by a sharp blade, and the skull could be seen through the wound, and even the hardest tissue on the man's body was scratched, but it was difficult to distinguish it by blood stains.

Whether the enemy is a little heavier, or Rod Hilly is half a minute slower to deal with the enemy, Pauli will become a corpse with a flowering head on the ground...... And if Rod and Ciri hadn't taken care of their opponents when he died, the outcome would have been different. Despite the fact that there were a bunch of dead people around, Rhodes felt that the wounds on the living were more terrifying, after all, the dead enemy could not be left alone, but the living companion could not be ignored.

He was at a loss and opened his mouth: "What should I do?"

Ciri rolled her eyes, how to solve the enemy and turned back into a little boy without opinions, and in desperation, he could only make the appearance of the eldest sister: "The wound needs to be cleaned and stitched, but we don't have the tools, we must find a place to repair and heal." ”

"Your life is more 'valuable', leave me alone, run. Pauli sat weakly under the roots of the tree and spat out lines that should have belonged to Dieter.

"No way. The boys and men replied in unison.

"Hmph...... "The man has no strength to speak anymore, he is not Dieter or Grom, he does not swear allegiance to anyone, he can be injured in order to complete his mission without complaining, but if he is injured and volunteers to stay and die, he is not so great.

"Where are you going?"

"It's not a ferry anyway, it's too far. Ciri pulls out the map from the Pauli bag and starts planning a new route. Soon, she discovered that the trio's location at this time was very close to the village of Buck they had visited...... When you think about it, it's certainly not a coincidence: it's only natural that they're traveling north, fleeing south in distress, and returning to where they have passed.

Buck Village is not the key, and when you run for your life, you don't have the heart to care about the living dead...... The point is, they met a doctor here, and he seemed to be quite reliable.

The two looked at each other, and the destination obviously did not need to be discussed.

"Stop the bleeding first. ”

A small cloud of snow white climbed down from a nearby tree and cautiously rubbed against the young man, they were prepared for the worst in this ambush counterattack, and Rhodes even released the little fox to hide aside...... Fortunately, the ending is not bad.

The little fox girl turned into a human form and clumsily helped to tear the cloth together to bandage Pauli's wounds, and this was the first time Ciri had seen her in human form...... It turned out to be a delicate and cute girl, and even though the situation was urgent, the witch still glanced at Rhodes suspiciously, suspecting that he was not as innocent as he seemed.

"Concussion. After quickly bandaging, Ciri spat out another word he hadn't heard of, "He can't move violently, take his time...... Since this half of the pursuers caught up with us first, the other half must have circled the Edelweiss Lake, and there must be some distance from us, so there is no need to be in a hurry. Hold on and move slowly. ”

Returning the same way as the pursuers' footprints, they found the place where the enemy was leading their horses. There's actually an enemy watching the horses here...... If this man had the same skills as the other six killers, and had gone into the forest to deal with them, the battle would have ended differently.

Although the battle time is short, the three of them all know that there is one more person on the other side, and they are all very different.

The pursuer who stayed behind saw that it was not his accomplice who came out of the forest, and although he did not know the situation, he still got on his horse and ran away very decisively, and soon disappeared in the direction of the pursuit.

"Good luck. Ciri breathed a sigh of relief, no wonder there were only seven people just now, and it turned out that there was still one guard horse.

"yes. "Rhodes lived sixteen years, safe and free...... These things had always been taken for granted, and he couldn't even realize that there would be a day when even survival would require racking his brains and doing his best, plus a series of coincidences under the favor of Lady Luck.

Rhodes returned the sword to Ciri, and now there was no shortage of weapons and horses, and if he escaped alone, he would soon be able to get out of danger. But the protagonist and hero of the adventure story will never leave behind his companions who have lived and died together, and neither will he.

The three of them did not leave the road too far, according to Pauli's analysis, at this moment, the entire Antelli is afraid that only the people who want to kill them are still continuing to track and search, if they are unlucky to bump into the official army or law enforcement officers, they will simply be captured.

And so it was, they didn't have any other trouble at all along the way, and as the scenes around them became more familiar, they knew they weren't far from their destination.

Pauli sat on his horse staggeringly, delirious from a head injury, and the two young men did not know much of the way, so they thought that they would first go to the small village of Baka where they had investigated the living dead, and from there, Dr. Mithelel's clinic would not be far away.

The autumn harvest has basically ended, there is not much work in the field, and the sky is dark, there is no one to meet along the way, and it took a while to meet the first one. The man looked up and let out an exclamation.

"Is that you?"

Where do we not meet in life, it is actually the wife of the person who was bitten when Ciri was investigating the case of the living dead not long ago, and she is carrying a basket at the moment, as if she is collecting something on her way home.

"Madam, your husband'......" is not the time to care about this, but since they met, Ciri can't help but ask in passing.

"Dr. Mithelel healed him, thank you so much. The peasant woman replied excitedly, and then looked at Pauli, who was almost lying on his horse in bandages, with some concern: "What are you?"

"We ......" Rhodesser, who was about to find a casual excuse to prevaricate, caught a glimpse of Pauli's condition out of the corner of his eye, and quickly shouted: "Be careful!"

The wounded man seemed to be unconscious, and almost rolled over and fell off his horse, but fortunately Rod and Ciri caught him between the left and right and reached out to help him in time.

Seeing this, the peasant woman also came to help, and the three of them worked together to get Pauli from his horse to the ground, and Rhodes restrained him.

"What's the matter?" asked the peasant woman, bewildered, "let him lie down in my house for a while." ”

Fearing that this was the only way, Rod took Pauli on his back, and Ciri and the peasant woman led several horses and walked together towards the small village.
