Chapter 32: The Attack (6)

After wrapping Flanna's wound, Elendor tightened the linen strip a little, ready to tie a knot for him, but this action touched Flanna's wound, causing Flanna's body to twitch for a while, and even felt the pain in his sleep.

Alendor let out a long sigh as he finally finished bandaging Franner, who seemed to be able to recover slowly as long as he didn't have a fever. Seeing that Flanner was fine, Allendo's heart was really relieved, and he walked quickly towards Colin and the others, distributing his herbs to them.

Colin and Thomas each expertly put the herb in their mouths and chewed it, then applied the juice to their wounds, and then tore strips of cloth from their clothes to bandage them. Elendor walked straight to Ryan, who was now seated on the ground, having used the Shadow Shortsword to cut off the arrows that had struck him, and had taken out both severed arrows, while Faras bandaged Ryan's wounds with concern.

Alendor walked up to Ryan's side, crouched on the ground and asked, "Are you alright?"

Ryan shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter, it's just a flesh wound." ”

"Flesh wounds?" Faras, who was bandaging Ryan's wounds, immediately attacked when he heard this: "This is all flesh and blood blurred like this, and you are just talking about flesh wounds lightly? Ryan, you listen to me, you must not walk around until the injury is healed, if you are ......" Faras said this, suddenly his eyes turned red, and he slowly lowered his head.

Ryan took Farah's right hand with his left hand and squeezed it lightly to show gratitude, then he turned to Allendo and said, "Let's go, let's go to the river, Maia's life and death are unknown, we must hurry." ”

Alendor nodded, and he whistled to keep watch around while he strode towards the riptide embankment. Ryan struggled to his feet and walked behind Allendo. Faras wanted to be born to dissuade her, but when she saw the expression on Ryan's face, she hesitated again, and in the end she didn't say anything, just obediently supported Ryan.

Alendor looked at the rushing river, and suddenly had a big question in his heart, he asked Ryan, "What happened after you jumped into the river?"

Ryan shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Alas, I still can't believe this matter. With that, Ryan looked at Faras, who was nestled in his arms, and slowly recounted what happened to him when he just jumped into the water.

At that time, Lane's heart was sinking, he didn't find the carriage, and he didn't see Farrass, which made him anxious, although he had arrow wounds on his body and couldn't get wet, but Lane couldn't care about these things at all, he took a deep breath and forcibly sank again.

This time Ryan sank deeper than the last time, but still failed to reach the bottom of the river, the water of the Riptide River was far more rapid than Ryan had imagined, and even in the depths of the river, there was still an undercurrent surging, rushing the diving Ryan downstream. Ryan had no choice but to surface, he had made up his mind to pick up a big rock and try again, but he couldn't find a suitable one in a hurry.

Time passed minute by minute, and the pain of the arrow wound soaking in the river water made half of Ryan's body numb, but all this did not make Ryan have any retreat, and the life and death of Faras and others were uncertain, how could Ryan feel at ease? Ryan barely floated on the water, he took a deep breath, and was about to sink into the water again, but at this time, a pair of soft arms hugged him from behind, and a voice that haunted him sounded in his ears: "Ryan!"

Ryan turned his head sharply, only to see Faras floating on the water not far away, waving at him. Ryan was overjoyed, and his heart was immediately filled with a great sense of happiness, and he desperately swam to Faras, and hugged the latter tightly, even though the blood kept pouring out of the wound on his shoulder, Ryan would not let go.

Although the two have only been separated for a short time, they seem to have passed decades with each other, especially Ryan's heart is still almost thinking that Faras has suffered an accident, seeing that Faras is safe and sound, Ryan naturally asked about Faras's experience, but the answer made Ryan at a loss.

When Faras fell into the rapids in the carriage, it was mainly because she was frightened and had no other thoughts, and when the carriage fell into the river, it quickly sank to the bottom, and Faras was involuntarily "thrown" out of the carriage. When Faras was underwater, she thought she was dead at first, but she was soon surprised to find that she was unharmed, not even the clothes on her body were wet.

Soon, Faraz found out that it was all the credit of the magic robe on her body, this magic item that Ryan obtained from King Alexander's tomb, obviously contained too many secrets, and Faraz who wore it would not be violated by the river, most likely because the magic array on the clothes played a role.

Faraz floated unharmed under the protection of the dress, and she didn't know how to do it, but she just jumped lightly and stood on the water. The condescending Faras saw Ryan not far away, and Ryan plunged headlong into the bottom of the river under Farath's gaze. When Ryan came up again, Faras hugged him from behind.

Finding Faras lifted Ryan's spirits. Under the guidance of Faras, Ryan dived under the water again, this time Ryan insisted on diving as much as he could, but the undercurrent at the bottom of the river surged, and Ryan only dived about ten meters before being swept downstream by the river.

In the end, Ryan had no choice but to give up, his wound was already swollen under the soaking of the river, and the long dive in the water also greatly consumed Ryan's physical strength, and more importantly, on the shore Alendor they must have fallen into a bitter battle. For Mai Ya, Ryan had done his best, and now, as the head of the group, Ryan had to make a difficult choice, albeit one that was not so pleasant.

Eventually, Ryan carried Farah on his back and slowly climbed the 5-meter-high embankment with the help of the plants and protruding rocks on the shore. When Ryan returned to the main road, he saw the crisis facing Elendor at a glance, so Ryan launched an attack from behind and ended the battle without any suspense.

Elendor poked his head out of the icy water, greedily breathing in the fresh air, and shook his hand at his companion on the embankment. This action made Ryan and the others very disappointed, and it seems that Allendo's search and rescue failed again. After the battle, Alendor entered the rapids several times, but unfortunately still could not dive to the bottom of the river, and then Alendor picked up a boulder weighing more than 200 kilograms, which was not washed away by the undercurrent in the river, and finally sank.

However, walking in the river is not an easy task, and one of the most critical issues is how to breathe. Alendor spends much longer time underwater than Ryan, but never more than 10 minutes, and this time is minus the distance of diving and afloat, so there is not a lot of time left for Alendor to search the bottom of the river.

Seeing that the sky was already dark, Allendo had no choice but to give up the search and rescue and climb back to the embankment.

Ryan and they sat around the campfire, everyone was not in a very good mood, this attack during the day today was the biggest loss since the establishment of the Ryan mercenary group, Ryan was a little annoyed, since he came out of his hometown, everything basically went well, and when he rarely suffered, even against the lich, the rebels, and even hundreds of thousands of orc troops, Ryan could still win.

Maybe it's been smooth sailing for too long, Ryan and they are all a little paralyzed, at least Ryan hates himself very much for losing the necessary vigilance, they gave Senat a slap in the face in Seabreeze City, plus that time in Sheephorn Town, how can Senat not hate Ryan and the others? Under normal circumstances, Ryan and they should have thought that Senate would inevitably retaliate, but no one expected that less than a day away from Seabreeze City, Senate's elite troops appeared.

Although in the cleaning of the battlefield afterwards, Colin and they did not turn over anything useful, in addition to weapons and equipment, those attackers were nothing more than some gold coins and other gadgets, but these attackers all showed the characteristics of soldiers in their gestures, which Ryan and they all deeply understood, and they were able to not flinch in the face of Allendo's huge pressure, and even formed a phalanx to fight against it, the bow and arrow salvo that only the army would use...... All of this has revealed the identity of these attackers, and the only one who can have such an elite in the south and ambush Ryan and them is Senate's men.

But since the incident has happened, Ryan and they don't blame themselves too much, they keep this account in their hearts, sooner or later, Ryan will settle it with Senate well. Due to the fact that he had experienced too many things during the day, Ryan and his party were very tired, and the injured person also needed plenty of rest, so Ryan and his party slept in the nearby woods at night.

Over the next three days, Allendo and Faras took turns diving underwater, finally finding the wagon. The envoy Robin didn't know how to get his body stuck in the carriage after it fell into the water, and in the end, it was Elendor who used Ryan's shadow dagger to completely destroy the carriage and get Robin's body out. The whereabouts of the Pastor Maia are unknown, and Allendo and the others have searched the bottom of the river hundreds of meters downstream, and even found a distance of several kilometers along the Rapids River in the direction of Seabreeze City, but they still have no success, and finally have to give up.

Ryan's carriage had been completely destroyed, but the attackers had quite a few horses, and Ryan placed Robin's body on the horses and headed east back to Seabreeze. Because Ryan and the others deliberately kept a low profile, most of the people in Seabreeze City didn't know that Ryan and his party were back, and in the central square of Seabreeze City, those operas were still being staged, but Ryan felt like a world away when he saw this scene.

Led by Oz, Ryan returned to the headquarters of the Tempest Mercenary Regiment in Seabreeze City along with the surviving carriage driver, explaining in detail what had happened, after all, the Tempest Mercenary Regiment had lost two people to this attack. Robin's body was also delivered to the Royal Guards of Seabreeze City, and through them, the current situation of Ryan and his party was transmitted to the Imperial Capital.

While doing these things, Ryan and the others were also silently licking their wounds, and after more than ten days, the Ryan mercenary group quietly set off, and their destination was still a free paradise.
