Chapter 2: Death! Come on, Coyote!
Dressed in white, she wore a long blue pleated skirt with an emerald in the middle of a blue hairband, indicating Kasharis Stoll's status as a third-class clergyman. Judging by her deep-knit brow and pursed lips, it was clear that she was also in a difficult situation.
Seeing that Mrs. Stoll had been invited, Kusas hurriedly shouted, "Mrs. Stoll!" and quickly shouted, "......Mrs. Stoll!" and barely half shouted his words, and Bell jumped out with a cheer, limping not particularly slowly.
"Miss Hertz Coch, I'll help you!"
Not far behind Mrs. Stoll, the silver-haired Hertz Koch staggered over, the little girl carrying a large bundle of white feathered arrows in her arms, two short bows crossed on her back, and a slightly pale face covered with beads of sweat.
Hearing Bell's voice, her feet sped up a little faster, "Well, you take these first, I'll go back and get them!"
As she spoke, Bell had already taken the White Feather Arrow from her arms, and two short bows were hung around his neck, "No need, you and Uncle Herzmere can run away with Teacher Daniel." Uncle Kusas is right, there will be no emperor team to save us. ”
Hertz Keqi looked around in confusion, and some of the villagers had quietly moved in Daniel's direction.
"Mrs. Stoll, we Orions have the best say in the battle against coyotes. Bert reluctantly took two steps forward with his injured leg and continued, "Can you get through it, I think Uncle Herzmere knows better than we do, you can listen to his opinion first!"
Mrs. Stoll bowed slightly, and Kusas and Daniel put aside their quarrels and looked at Herzmere together.
Herzmere glanced at the people around him, and his eyes fell on the face of his daughter Hertz Keqi, "At least three coyote colonies have gathered outside, and they are still going on. They are waiting for the opportunity, such an orderly layout, there will definitely be a wolf king tonight. If there is no rescue from the emperor's ** team tomorrow, once our firewood runs out......" He did not continue, and there was no need to continue.
"As a clergyman, I need to protect the bodies of our loved ones so that they can rest in peace. Madame Stoll looked sadly in the direction of the temple, tears rolling in her eyes, her eyes gradually became resolute, and she suddenly turned to stare at the people, "But! As a member of the village of Loire! I need someone to live! to find out what all this is for! to avenge the death of my relatives!"
"You're right, but ...... Where are we going to flee to? How are we going to escape? The coyotes outside have surrounded us. Kusas stepped forward and pointed to the coyotes outside the circle.
Bell put aside the white feather arrows, "I remember that there is a tunnel in the school that leads to the outside of the village!"
Daniel nodded, but Herzmir frowned, "That passage is just a teaching facility for the academy, and it can't escape very far, once you encounter the pursuit of the coyote pack......"
"I'm willing to stay and get their attention. Bell straightened his back and stepped forward.
"I do, too!" said another teenager in the crowd.
"And me!"
"Count me in!"
"I'll stay too!" Kusas grabbed Herzmir, who was about to stand up, "Get out and remember to avenge us!" and then lifted his breath, "If you can still run, follow Daniel!"
After a brief discussion, Daniel led a team of more than fifty people to the tunnels of the school, leaving behind about thirty people, more than half of whom were wounded.
"Daddy~Bell, they ......" Hertz Keqi in the team looked back from time to time.
"They are heroes. Herzmere held the torch, the sparkle of his eyes never slipping.
Looking at the team that was gradually moving away, Bell and the others also began their work. In order to create more time for the escapees, they decided to take the initiative to provoke a fight with the coyote pack.
The thirty-two men were divided into four teams, the first team was responsible for attracting the attention of the wolves at the exit of the passage, the second team was responsible for blocking the coyotes that the first team had brought into the defensive circle, the third team was responsible for breaking through to the right side, and the fourth team was divided to hold the other gaps.
Bell, who was assigned to the second team, was lying in ambush behind a boulder in the ruins of the temple at this time, with three bundles of white feather arrows beside him. In order to prevent a coyote attack from behind him, dozens of white-feathered arrows were inserted upside down into the masonry, and the pointed arrows stabbed upwards ensured that he would not be the first to suffer a fatal attack from the arrival of him.
As the passage door of the academy closed, a new fire ignited outside the passage door, and the seven members of the first team raised their longbows with Kusas and fired eight oil-soaked rockets far in front of the exit of the passage.
Immediately after another round of rockets were fired, the coyotes gathered outside the fire began to be restless, and the wolves continued to howl, like a fuse, and the wolves outside the encirclement instantly became agitated.
A howl, a burst of low roars, Bell, hidden behind the boulder, like falling into an ice cellar, the sound of thousands of coyotes came from all around, and the scalp of people was numb when they heard it.
"It's now!" Kusas drew his bow, and three white-feathered arrows swooped out of the fire, poof, poof!
The actual attack aroused the wrath of the coyote pack, but they were unable to rush at it for a moment due to the fear of the flames. Taking advantage of this short period of time, everyone in the first team fired a salvo of three or four arrows, frantically harvesting the lives of coyotes.
Such a one-sided situation rekindled a glimmer of hope in people's hearts, and Bell relaxed a little, maybe he would succeed in attracting their attention, and possibly hold out until dawn.
"Okay, the longer it drags on, the better!" Bell clenched and bit his lower lip, his eyes full of hope.
In about half a wax time, the coyote corpses outside the circle were piled up, and the hit rate of the arrows began to decrease. Many coyotes were found hiding behind the corpses of their companions through the fire, and the human attack did not deter them, and it was clear that they were determined to eat a feast in the enclosure.
Suddenly, several wounded and undead coyotes howled and rushed to the fire! In the attack of arrows, one of them was lucky enough to rush in! The long mane of the coyote was ignited by the flames, and the whole body was surrounded by flames, and it was killed before it could gain a firm foothold.
Looking at the burning corpses on the ground, people's minds are no longer so relaxed. If you can rush in, the first one will have a second one.
Sure enough, after the impact of the coyote pack just now, more than a dozen injured coyotes began to attack. As the number and size of the coyote pack increased, Bell also threw himself into the fight.
Shoot your bow and arrows, aim and shoot! Kill those who have already rushed in, and the first team will snipe those who are ready to rush in.
Soon the uninjured coyotes joined the charge.
"The three teams are ready to break through!
Although the villagers' arrows hit these uninjured coyotes, the great inertia did not stop abruptly because of its death!
Poof! The coyote's corpse crashed into the fire, and sparks flew everywhere! Poof! Another coyote corpse crashed into it! The burning firewood flew out!
"Break out!" With a shout, eight men from the three teams with short bows and two arrows! After a round, they rushed out with both weapons in hand.
As soon as they rushed out, the defenses on this side completely collapsed! The burning wood that had completely dispersed could no longer stop the coyote's attack! Three villagers were pounced in an instant!
The arrows in Bell's hand kept being put away, but several members of the first team were quickly drowned in the coyote. Someone from the second team has already been killed.
Five or six coyotes rushed at him, whoosh, three in succession, and by the fourth arrow, the coyotes had already pounced!
Poof! Keep stabbing the arrow into the coyote's mouth! Bell has no time to take the arrow! Before the first corpse hits the ground, the second one pounces! The left hand bow rises upward, and the bowstring is put on the upper jaw of the second coyote! The right hand reaches into the waist! Draws a shiny dagger and rolls it at the neck and chest several times!
Letting go of the short bow, he took advantage of the situation in his left hand and drew a dagger, and the third coyote jumped up on the corpses of the first two ends! Before it could open its mouth, Bell stabbed upwards with the dagger in both hands and plunged into the coyote's choked throat!
