Chapter 278: Danger
Perhaps due to the wind and snow, the road leading to the town has extremely obvious horseshoe prints on the thin layer of snow.
The wind and snow were mixed with a language that Kane didn't understand, and it seemed to be the language of those crazy humans.
Sneaked into an alley.
Get close to the source of the sound.
Look carefully.
I saw 4 light cavalrymen, wearing light armor and riding on war horses, with a few dried heads pinned to the back of the war horses.
The armor of these knights was also covered with blood and a stench.
Behind the knight were two teams, a 12-man infantry team.
And 8 of them all carried bows and arrows behind them, and crossbow machines hung from their waists.
They stood in a neat line, a light cavalryman on a war horse talking to the town's caretaker.
Obviously, these human beings have fallen into madness, but they still retain some kind of social system, and their madness seems to be only aimed at those who are relatively normal.
And now in this space, the only normal people are Kane.
Why did a regular soldier suddenly come to town, it is almost certain that they came to trouble Kane.
Kane: They've been wreaking havoc in this town for six days, and someone must have gone to the middle city and called for backup.
The soldiers still had the city's insignia on their bodies.
It's exactly the same as the badge on the central city marker on Kane's map.
As if the conversation was over, the town's administrator took the soldiers to a certain building in the snowstorm.
Seeing them leave, Kane disappeared into the night.
Hearing a slight howl from outside, Claire removed the shelter that was blocking the entrance to the cave.
The giant wolf shook off the wind and snow on his body and burrowed into the hole.
"You're back, how's it going? Did you find anything? Claire asked Kane.
The wolf had a very human and solemn expression on his face.
"We'll leave tomorrow morning as soon as the snow stops, and a group of regular soldiers has entered the town, four light cavalry and a lot of ranged soldiers, such a force is an invincible existence for us now, once they catch it, then our exploration will be over."
Hearing Kane's words, Claire nodded solemnly.
If it's just a normal soldier, that's fine, because if you can't beat it, at least you can run away.
But with the light cavalry on the horses, it was dangerous, and in addition to Claire's ability to have a certain advantage in speed, there was a good chance that Kane would be caught up before he had time to escape.
When the time comes, it will be dangerous.
Claire had re-sealed the hole, and now that the nighttime blizzard was restricting their movement at night, they had to rest well and cope with the day in good condition.
……
"Ding!"
There was a crisp sound from the cave.
Hearing this sound, Claire and Kane woke up directly.
It was a guard trap set by Kane, and now the sound sounded to indicate that the trap had been touched.
Kane rushed out of the cavern, and Claire picked up Lilulu and followed.
The wind and snow are still there, but it has stopped a lot compared to late at night, and the night should be almost over.
Kane stood in the snow, his ears twitching, trying to make out the strange sound in the distance from the howling of the wind.
The crisp sound of horses' hooves, and the sound of armor grinding against each other.
Kane didn't expect it.
The soldiers who had arrived in the town last night had begun to search in the forest before the snow had stopped.
The vigilant trap just now was touched, and it was very likely that these soldiers had discovered it, not because he was not confident enough in his trap, but because he completely trusted the qualities of Ekron.
How could it be possible to make Kane feel better.
"Let's go, let's go this way." With that, Kane led Claire in one direction.
As for the obvious footprints behind him, it's too late to cover up, and now it's the time of life and death.
After a while, the sound of horses' hooves chasing behind them sounded, and it seemed that their escaping footprints had been discovered.
Torches and shouts pierced the wind-swept forest.
Kane, who was running forward, stopped.
Because he sensed that there seemed to be someone in front of him, the captain of these soldiers had already arranged people to guard the main road outside the forest.
I can feel that these people have formed a siege and surrounded Kane.
Now you have to think of a weak direction to break through.
Kane pricked up his ears and began to carefully discern the direction in which the horse's hooves were coming from.
Most of the horse's hooves were heard behind Kane, and in front of them were the sluggish infantry.
"There should be soldiers in front of this direction, and the two of us will quickly deal with them and then flee."
Hearing Kane's words, Claire nodded, and the two of them rushed in the direction of the woods.
Kane's location was only a dense wood, and there were very few areas where they could hide their figures.
So they were heading to the other side, in the direction of Kane's previous tree hole, where there was a large forest, and only in that it was possible to escape the soldiers' tracks.
He didn't take two steps before he saw a guard with a spear, and a ranged soldier with an archer and a crossbow machine beside him.
Kane and Claire dispersed and flanked the two soldiers.
The two soldiers had apparently heard Kane's rushing voice, and were watching around warily.
Leaning on the pad of flesh under his feet, Kane stealthily reached behind the ranged soldier.
Then he lunged straight behind the soldier, and because of the armor, Kane's mouth couldn't bite his erec, and he could only throw him to the ground.
But that's enough.
Without the long-range threat, Claire rushed out from the other side.
Facing the spear that stabbed at her, Claire's blade slid diagonally and pulled the barrel away, then turned the blade and slashed at the soldier with a single blow.
The tip of the sword slashed through where the armor had not been protected, and blood spurted out.
The giant wolf lying behind the ranged soldier quickly turned into Kane's appearance, and his hands quickly stretched out to hug the soldier's head, and twisted it backwards hard.
"Card Bar"
A sound of dislocated bones sounded.
The soldier, who was struggling, fell to the ground and was silent.
Kane quickly took the bow and arrow and crossbow machine from the soldier, but only a few arrows were missing, and the rest were reduced to ashes with the soldier.
Claire quickly removed the spear from the soldier's hand in front of him, so that it would not be reduced to ashes with the soldier.
Lilulu slipped out of Claire's arms, quickly picked up the loot, and shrank into the backpack containing the supplies.
