(280) Wolves

In the depths of the canyon shrouded in thick fog, there was a sudden howl of a beast dying and struggling, and with another muffled sound, everything returned to peace.

"Oh my husband, that's amazing! The thick skull was shattered...... That's a ...... It's so cool! A crisp and pleasant female voice shouted.

Princess Edgar Midknight trampled on the boar's corpse with her boots, and the great beast died a terrible death, its body full of arrows, its head split open by a great axe, and its brains splattered everywhere.

Princess Edgar "Drink!" With a thud, she pulled the blood-stained axe out of the boar's skull, and several blood spots were splashed on her fair face, and she wiped it with the back of her hand, and the slimy blood spots became a large blood stain.

"Haha! My new axe works so well! She kissed the handle of the axe;" I'm going to have to wax and oil it every time I go on, but I can't let this baby rust! ”

Prince Maxim came over and patted his sister's hunting coat to help her remove fallen leaves and dirt from her body:

"Sister, don't laugh, go back and look in the mirror, you can go to the opera now, you don't need to wear makeup to play the red-faced demon in the horror drama, you can perform on stage with a horn on your head."

"Oops! What's wrong with my face? ”

Edgar changed his hand and wiped his cheek again, this time it was even worse, the black-brown dirt on his hand mixed with red blood, and his beautiful face was completely a big flower face.

"Haha! Look at her ridiculous look! ”

Young Master William at the back of the line was smiling, he was in the best mood today, and Constance, who helped him push his wheelchair, had never seen his friend so happy.

"It seems that my sister likes your gift, congratulations, William, if you work hard, you will become the master of our empire."

"Hmmm! I'll do my best! Strive to be your brother-in-law! Master William nodded vigorously.

Baron Victor walked up to the boar, crouched down his huge body, put the longbow he held in his hand on the ground, and began to pull out the arrows from his prey.

Edgar patted him on the back and complimented:

"Awesome! You can hit every shot from such a distance! And every arrow pierced the thick boar skin, Brother Victor, who did you learn this archery skill from? ”

"Of course, it was taught by my grandfather, Lord Jason, he is an old man, I will learn a few tricks from him every time I go back to visit relatives in the Starfall Islands, my grandfather was recognized as the strongest knight in the whole continent when he was young, and the students he taught are naturally not too bad.

As for the power of the arrow, the tensile force of the bow in my hand is 105 pounds, plus my family's special cone-shaped armor-piercing arrow, and the weight is increased by tying an iron cone to the shaft of the arrow, such an arrow is as powerful as a projectile fired by a gunpowder weapon, and can penetrate even the thickest plate armor, let alone a wild boar skin. ”

"Good fellows! The pull of your bow is as strong as the crossbow in the armory! Brother Victor, come back and give me a longbow like this! And, of course, the matching arrows! ”

"No problem, when we return to the imperial capital, I will send you a new set!"

"Thanks!" Edgar stood on tiptoe and pinched the other's strong arm.

When she was a girl, an old servant of the palace always told her the legend of the emperor's conquests, and from then on, she aspired to become a great hero like her mother.

Not only her mother, but she also admired the brother in front of her, the young guardian of the Holy Sepulchre, Baron Victingströnghold,

He was one of the most powerful warriors under his mother's command, once participated in the famous battle of the Banshee Fjord, and at the last moment dived to the bottom of the sea, saving the life of the emperor,

It was in that battle that Emperor Saranitus Midknight completely defeated the anti-Valsta Tongmei siege and became the true overlord of the continent of Oracis.

"Victor, you are the tallest and strongest person I have ever seen, I really want to have a few tricks with you, it must be quite exciting."

Baron Victor shook his head with a smile and stroked the princess's long silver hair with a giant palm:

"Spare me, Your Majesty Princess, you have inherited the power of the emperor, no matter how powerful I am, I am just a mortal, and I am not your opponent at all."

Edgar pouted, "Humph! How do you know if you haven't tried it?

I've heard that your grandfather, Lord Jason, and my mother fought a knightly joust, and it was quite a wonderful fight, and there was an old general, and that battle was the pinnacle of knightly jousting. (Note: The plot here refers to Chapter 98 of this book)"

"Yes, I was still cheering on my grandfather at the time, and I thank His Majesty the Emperor for her kindness, she showed mercy from the beginning, so that my grandfather could survive that battle.

Not only that, but she also took me as her adopted son, took me out of that barren island, and let me receive the best education in the imperial capital,

In this way, I have the opportunity to see the vast land, and most importantly, I have the privilege of meeting your sister and finding the love of my life. ”

"In that case, you can accompany me to fight, and you should repay my mother, how about it?"

"Forget it, your sister won't be upset if she knows,"

"She didn't come today, so don't tell her? Come on! You take the sword, I take the axe! Let's have a good time! "Then Princess Edgar is about to do it.

Victor hurriedly waved his hand: "You can't use a real guy, you must pay attention to safety, with the strength of the two of us, even if it is just a light rub, it will cause heavy support."

In this way, when we return to the imperial capital, put on a full set of professional combat armor, and try again with a safe training weapon, but you have to promise me that you must hide it from your sister, and you must not let her know. ”

Edgar grimaced at the other party: "Oh, our Guardian of the Holy Sepulchre is really a strict wife, and he is afraid of his wife before he gets married, so he will be flirtatious in the future?" My sister really has a set of things to make you obedient. ”

Victor smiled and said: "I don't dare to mess with her, if your sister is angry, she can't be coaxed several times, she is like a child who doesn't grow up, naïve and cute." Then, he looked down at his pocket watch: "It's not early, let's go back." ”

At this time, a clear and long wolf howl came from the woods.

"Whew......"

The howl was terrifying, echoing around for a long time.

"Na! Damn it! There are wolves nearby! It must have been the bloody smell of the boar carcass! ”

Prince Constance was frightened, he pushed his wheelchair and hid behind Victor, and Young Master Wilhelm raised his arm and shouted: "Look, it's there!" What a big one! ”

From a distance, a huge wolf could be seen hiding in a low bush, its fur was black, and as the color became dim, the wolf's figure gradually became blurred, and a pair of blood-red wolf eyes emitted an unsettling light.

"Whew!" It threw up its head and howled again.

Princess Edgar spat on the ground and said contemptuously:

"Don't be afraid, it's nothing, it looks fierce, it's just a big dog, such a wild wolf, I'll have an axe! Wait, you'll all go and unload its big furry head! Take it home and make a specimen to hang on the wall! ”

With that, Edgar raised her beloved axe and stepped forward confidently.

"Wait! Don't go there yet! ”

Baron Victor saw that something was wrong, and he hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop the princess: "Heart! This kind of canyon black wolf is a group action! ”

And the truth is exactly as he said,

A few minutes later, several pairs of blood-red eyes appeared in the bushes not far away, glaring viciously at everyone in the shadows.

Edgar shuddered, "Hey...... It's so dangerous, I almost fell for it, I can't imagine that these black dogs are quite insidious! ”

Victor said calmly: "Don't act rashly, there is still time before the dark, let's wait for a while." ”

In the process of confrontation between the two sides, time passed quietly, and the color became darker and darker, and more than a dozen pairs of blood-red wolf eyes appeared around.

A long wolf howl echoed around for a long time, and the atmosphere became more and more oppressive, and everyone's nerves tensed.

Constance and William looked around uneasily: "What can I do now?" They gather more and more, and we are surrounded! ”
