Chapter 39: Ambush

Someone's coming!

This was Chris's first reaction. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

This is the outskirts of the Booth Empire, not far from the main road, if it is a hunter who goes into the mountains to hunt in the early morning, it should not be so late to set off, or

The hunter who camped in the woods last night and was about to rush to the imperial capital.

It's just that Chrisse vaguely feels that it is not too coincidental. You know, you have just entered the woods, and the students of the Lantis School of Magic are missing

This is really a big deal, Mentor Clark reported this news to the official Booth Empire, how can it take more than ten minutes, of course, this

The news will soon be known to many forces at the same time, and then they will come to look for themselves with the message they left on the city walls, but if they come

If it was a searcher sent by the imperial capital, the speed seemed to be a little faster.

If it's not an official Booth searcher, who would it be?

Chris immediately thought of the assassination in the Warcraft Forest, and always felt that the person who came was not good.

He looked around, carefully and quickly bypassed the dead branches on the ground, climbed a large tree with his flying claws, hid in the shade, and held his breath

The sound of stepping on dead branches and the sound of clothes and armor rubbing against the bushes grew closer, but there was no sound of speech.

Chris waited silently for them to appear.

Finally, a group of people appeared in the field of vision, and at the foreground was a tall guy holding an extremely long two-handed sword, a sword

His body was half a foot longer than usual, and with a wave of his hand, the bushes and weeds in front of him fell in unison.

The sword was not only wide and long, but also very sharp.

There were five people in total, and they were all wearing black smocks that covered their bodies, and their hoods were also pulled very low

I feel that they are all war officers, but I can't tell the specific occupation.

Except for the guy who was the first to open the way, the rest were empty-handed.

Who are these people?

One of the guys in the middle suddenly said something, and the rest of the group stopped, and then, he stepped out of the crowd, walked to the front of the group, and bowed slightly

and look ahead.

Criston felt chills run through his body.

This seems to be a guy who is good at tracking.

He stretched out his left hand and gently stroked the long grass in front of him, pressing it down little by little, as if observing the footprints on the ground.

The straight-line distance between the two sides is about twenty meters.

Chris carefully brushed aside the shade of the tree, and aimed his right hand at another nearby tree, the claw's bracket already clinging to it, ready to be launched.

As long as he looks up!

There was silence in the woods, and everyone was staring at the guy on the ground.

He looked down for a moment, then took a few steps forward, looked up again, and continued to look down, while the rest of the people slowly followed him

As the distance got closer, Chris's palms were sweating slightly.

The man suddenly looked up, looked at the back of the line, gestured to the other guy behind him, and stood up, as did the people behind him

Looking behind him, his hands made several very complicated movements very quickly, so the rest of them nodded their heads, scattered, and hid themselves

The man in charge of the search hid under a tree six meters away from Chris and crouched behind a bush.

Chris saw a bow appear in his hand, and he pulled out a barrel of arrows, which hung diagonally over his shoulder.

Chris couldn't help but be secretly surprised.

This is not the common crossbow nowadays, but a real bow and arrow that is almost impossible to see, but the bow is only about one foot seven long, which is more than a normal bow

It is much shorter, and its appearance looks like a horn-end bow from the previous life, with an arc-shaped bow arm, and Takaki as the main arm, which seems to be inlaid with extremely elastic antelope horns

pieces, making the bow and arrow more lethal.

The guy who still uses a bow and arrow is definitely a master who is confident enough in his archery skills.

He carefully drew an arrow, grasped the bow arm with the four fingers of his left hand, pressed the arrow against the bow window with his thumb, and stared motionlessly ahead.

It was a few more moments before Chriss faintly heard a voice in the distance.

This guy's hearing is much better than Chris's.

He couldn't help but feel a tightness in his heart, and pressed his breathing to the minimum, and his body didn't dare to move a little.

Just as Chris felt his body tingle, a figure appeared in the distance.

The number of people who came was eight, all of them wearing the military standard light armor of the Booth Empire, and these were obviously not official searchers, but most likely as searchers

Scouts of the strikers.

They were apparently sent by the Booth Empire to assist in the search.

But it is definitely different from these people in ambush and belongs to one side of the force.

The scouts walked in, and from time to time someone shouted "speed up", and they gradually got closer and closer.

The archer behind the bushes had already pulled his bow apart, aimed it at the scout, and when the opponent was in the effective attack range, he put his hand down, "Huh."

With a thud, the arrow shot directly into the left eye of the leader.

The man let out a very short scream and fell to the ground, and the other seven were all startled, shouting "there is an ambush", and immediately went around

Scattered, only one person turned his head and ran back the way he came.

Chris knew that this person was not greedy for life and afraid of death, and the scout's task was to spy on the news, and there was a tacit understanding between them for a long time, one person

Tell the news, and the rest help fend off the invading enemy.

After the archers fired the arrow, the rest of the ambushers rushed out in unison, each slashing their weapons at the scouts.

Most scouts are not good at combat, they are more focused on physical dexterity, and the search and investigation of various details, except for a few in the back

One of the scouts raised his sword in time to block the attack, and the rest of the attackers were injured to varying degrees, and two scouts were almost split in two

Half, with the splattering of blood, screaming and dying on the spot.

Before the other side could gain a foothold, the four sneak attackers rushed in again, and almost in a few breaths, they slashed all the scouts to the ground, and then returned

Ruthlessly put a few swords on the scout on the ground, in case someone is not dead, and he looks extremely ruthless and skillful.

The archer, who had been the first to attack, put away his bow and arrows as the scout fled, and pursued him with great speed, and in an instant he was out of the woods and disappeared without a trace.

Four warriors, one archer.

As soon as they began to fight, Chris understood—

They came for themselves or for Pandis.

It's just that it's not yet certain which side they belong to.

Chrisse only knew that he had to flee now, and that it would be worse if he waited for the archer to return, and he believed that the archers would hunt him down

The scout won't be long.

He's a very dangerous guy, if he has the chance, he must kill this guy first, good at tracking and stealth, plus extraordinary archery, in him

Of the five, he is the biggest threat.

Chris crept into the canopy of another tree with his flying claws, and several times in succession, left the battlefield, and gradually lost the sound before going to the ground.

It was safer to be in the trees, but there was no way to see the clues Pandis had left behind. (To be continued.) )
