25. Tactics
"When the night comes, beware of ghouls, eat in the east, eat in the west, and eat when you meet, beware of not being a monster food."
This is a children's rhyme that is widely circulated around the world, and this creature called a ghoul has a reputation for making samurai fearful and young children crying.
On the battlefield, the ghouls were ignited by the fireball, and then ushered in two Ignidifa seals.
The monster has a very strong vitality, except for the first one that was directly pasted by the fireball and died on the spot, although the other three were charred all over the body, exuding a scorched smell of burning, but they were still not dead, and they moved freely.
The monster, which was seriously injured, turned around and tried to escape.
How could the demon hunters give up this opportunity to beat the water dogs, the two tacitly agreed to one side, and the silver sword stabbed directly, killing the two monsters with no fighting spirit in an instant.
How easy it is to win at the beginning, how ugly it is to lose later.
The huge explosion of the fireball alarmed all the ghouls in the battlefield, and in a terrifying roar, the ghouls rushed from all directions.
"Run~"
After quickly replenishing the last ghoul with a sword, the two witchers turned and ran, rushing out of the battlefield.
Emily was stunned to see the two men who had been so brave just now speeding past her at least twice as fast as when they charged.
"What are you doing? Run! ”
As she passed by the sorceress, Huck yelled at her, then rushed over without stopping.
"You ~bastards~"
The sorceress bit her silver teeth, her pretty face swollen red, and roared angrily.
Looking at the ferocious monsters that swooped down from all corners of the battlefield, she screamed and immediately turned into a golden bird, flapping her wings and flying into the sky.
Instead of turning back to their original directions, Huck and the others ran diagonally towards another hillside.
The ghouls were in hot pursuit, and one that was closer soon came behind them.
"Leave it alone and keep running!"
Seeing Huck look back, Viselmir immediately yelled, and returned with a blow to Alderseal.
The turbulent air collided with the pursuer like a hammer slamming into him, causing the ghoul to stumble and fall to the ground.
After shaking off the ghoul, the two quickly rushed up the hill. Then he continued to run forward desperately.
After a frenzied chase of a few hundred meters under the scorching sun, the ghoul finally gave up his goal and turned around and ran back.
After noticing that there were no more pursuers behind them, the two stopped, by which time they were sweating profusely and panting.
"You two bastards, you actually left me alone..."
"Didn't you run away?"
Huck glanced strangely at the little golden sparrow with flapping wings in front of him, his little eyes glaring at the boss, looking furious.
I told you to run away, how can I say that I left you?
"But, but~ I'm still behind, so you ran away!"
"You can turn into a bird, it's not dangerous at all, do you want us to wait until you're done before you run?"
"Anyway, anyway, it's just you!" The golden warbler argued, and simply landed on the witcher's shoulder, and pecked him the arm.
Huck grinned in pain, and finally couldn't resist a slap in the face.
Calm, calm, accidentally shot to death, it's also a sin!
"Alright, alright, it's me who is wrong! I didn't communicate with you beforehand, then, I said, can you stop spitting on me? ”
"Hmph~"
The golden warbler, who was a little embarrassed, flapped her wings and flew up, burrowing into the forest not far away, and disappeared without a trace.
"Hey, where are you going?"
"Don't worry about it~"
Hearing a coquettish cry coming from the forest, Huck looked helplessly at Viselmir, "What now?" ”
"It's better not to have her, so as not to attract another large group..."
"What did you say?" An angry voice sounded behind the old witcher, startling him.
I don't know when, Emily, who has turned back into human form, is already standing behind the two of them.
Teleport?
Huck's heart moved, when did teleportation become a rotten street skill? Is it a personal would?
"When I say I want to use loud magic, I'd better give everyone a breath first!"
The old witcher didn't get used to other people's habits, and directly expressed his dissatisfaction.
"I have an idea" Seeing the sorceress's increasingly dangerous expression, Huck hurriedly started a round.
"Emily's magic is very powerful, why don't you just shoot remotely every time, kill one and run, effective and safe..."
"No~"
"No~"
Two voices rang out at the same time, the sorceress and the old witcher, and both of them rejected the suggestion in unison.
Emily said with an unhappy face: "Why do I do everything, I'm here to help, and I'm not the protagonist!" ”
"This is a rare opportunity to fight, if you don't do it, how can you improve..."
Although Viselmir had different reasons, it was rare for her to share the same views as those of the sorceress.
"In that case, I have another tactic..."
Ten minutes later, the three returned to the edge of the battlefield again.
Seeing what had just happened, the herbalist had already run away and hid on a hillside farther away.
The death of their companions is quickly forgotten by the ghouls, who, driven by instinct, once again run to all corners and begin to gobble up.
“aenye!” (Ancient Language)
With a spell, a fireball flew towards a ghoul.
This time the fireball was much smaller, only the size of a fist, and the sound of flight was barely audible.
The fireball was still more than a meter away, and the ghoul sensed the danger, and immediately abandoned the delicious meal in front of him, and turned around and fled.
It was fast, but it wasn't as fast as a fireball, and even though it could change direction, the hot fireball still trailed it.
Under the guidance of the sorceress's spirit, the fireball made a few turns and hit the target, causing it to turn into a ball of fire and kill him instantly.
Due to the deliberate control, the small fireball explosion range is smaller, and the sound is much quieter.
Huck marveled at the sorceress's powerful mind control, and he now understood how small his poor magical talent was.
The three ghouls in the vicinity, who had been alarmed, roared and pounced on several people.
Seeing that there were only three, the three of them did not run away, and the two witchers stepped forward and raised their crossbows at the same time.
“aenye!” (Ancient Language)
The crossbow bolts flew out along with the second fireball, and the ghoul in the middle was stunned by the fireball without any suspense, and burned to char on the spot.
The other two were each shot by a crossbow arrow, each angrily lunging at the human who had inflicted damage on them.
Viselmir coped with great ease, confronting an Alder's Seal, knocking down the oncoming ghoul, then stepping forward lightly and stabbing the silver sword into the head.
Unlike their understatement kills, on the other side, Huck was already in a bitter battle at this point.
