Chapter 16: Ambush

85_85536As time passed, those who pretended to be clever or who were not physically and willingly like before were found one by one and then killed. One centaur warrior after another, carrying the human head, hurried back to Selei's side. One by one, the news reached the ears of the future heir of the golden family.

After this, the centaur warriors did not stand still. After reporting the news and stacking the heads, they continued on, returning to the hunting game. According to the information provided by these fighters, Sai Lei also adjusted his tactics slightly.

In order to prevent harming the truly important Princess William and Elise, he forbade the centaurs to shoot at locations suspected of harboring enemies without being confirmed.

"All suspicious targets are to be identified by means of searches. Treat other humans as well, no matter what. But to the two people I spoke, do everything you can not to hurt them. Captured alive, must be captured alive!"

After listening to Seray's orders, the liaison personnel of the various centaur teams responded loudly and returned to the forest with his orders.

The Centaur squads use arrows and horns as communication tools. Despite the long distance, it is still possible to capture the location of each friendly team. This allows them to do unnecessary and useless searches. So much so that the efficiency of the search is remarkable.

"Huntaiji, you don't seem to be happy. The attendant who was following Seray asked.

"Well, yes. Seray replied casually.

"Why? Isn't the hunt going smoothly? More than a third of the human targets have been discovered and killed. The attendant felt that he could not understand what Seray meant.

"It didn't work. "It's no use killing as many of these targets as we doβ€”we're just targeting those two people. Other human beings mean nothing to us. No matter how many people are killed, the results will still be zero. ”

"Really...... But don't worry, Huntaiji. The attendant said, "No one escapes the slaughter of our warriors, not even the tigers of the earth, the dragons of the sky, and the sharks of the sea. As long as we want their lives. There's no way they can escape!"

"Yes, yes. I have enough faith in my subordinates. And in the last hundred years of conquest, we have repeatedly proven the excellence of the centaur race. It's just ......"

"Just?" the attendant asked.

"Nothing. All in all, it will only take another day at most, and the news will be coming. ”

Sele said.

The young centaur warrior's eyes flickered, "Maybe you can surprise me a little more, Willem von Hereford - if it weren't, it would be too boring." ”

Meanwhile, Her Royal Highness Princess William and Princess Elise ...... Of course, there were also the three attendants, John, who also felt a great sense of urgency.

Behind them, the shrill and piercing sound of arrows, and the heavy and deep sound of bullhorns, drew closer, closer and closer. At a high speed that Her Royal Highness Princess Elise could barely comprehend, gradually, with a huge sense of oppression and threat, pressed towards them.

The closer they got, the closer they getβ€”it feels like there's an invisible monster right behind them. You can't escape, and you can't escape. No matter how hard you try, you can't get out of the ascension.

Death is approaching inch by inch. Her Royal Highness Princess Elise only felt that she could almost smell the damp and cold smell.

"This, how can this be like this?!Why is it so fast?!Do they really not have to rest, eat, or sleep?!"

"So I've told you many times! These guys aren't people, they're monsters, monsters, my eldest lady!" said William to Her Highness Princess Elise.

"So, what are we going to do?" asked Her Royal Highness Princess Elise. She was visibly flustered. His eyes widened, staring at William's sleeve intently. At the same time, William could feel that the stupid man was shaking involuntarily.

After hearing her ask, William stopped in turn.

"Hey, why don't you run away? What do you want to do?!" Seeing William's cold, expressionless look, Her Royal Highness Princess Elise felt a little frightened.

"It didn't work. William said.

"What didn't work?"

"There's no point in running away any longer. "They're much faster than we are," William said. No matter how we run, they'll be able to catch up with us before we run away. ”

"So, what should we do?" said William, and Princess Elise became even more frightened.

"Believe me?" asked William suddenly.

β€œ...... Believe. Although there may be other answers in my heart, Her Royal Highness the Princess still gave such an answer.

"That's easy - remember what you said, Elise von Trieste. If this plan succeeds, it's all because of your words. And if it fails, it's the opposite. After saying this, William took her hand, turned around, and ran towards the southeast.

"Hey, William - wait a minute, what are you going to do?"

"I don't have time to explain in detail. Anyway, just take my word for it and do what I say. Don't worry, it should be fine!"

"'Should' be fine?!"

"All in all, all tactics and strategies have the concept of a success rate, and nothing has ever had a 100% success rate! If what I say is perfect, you should hesitate whether I'm a liar or not - just do what I say!"

William said this as he took Elise's hand and ran forward, and after a few minutes he came to a fork in the road, he looked left and right, and then nodded, "Yes, this is it." ”

"What is this?" asked Princess Elise, who was dragged by William into a bush, the sharp branches and leaves of which made her feel uncomfortable. The dust accumulated in the bushes and the looming cobwebs made her feel even more uncomfortable.

"Shall we hide here, can we get out of here?" she asked.

"It's not us, it's you. William said, "Now be careful - I am not leaving you alone. It's not even about any prejudice against you. Yes, that's it. You must not overthink it. As long as we do what I tell us, none of us will die. You stay here now, and no matter what happens, whatever the sound is, you must never come out and do not move. That's it, promise me, nod!"

Although she couldn't fully understand William's words, Princess Elise couldn't help but nod her head under William's stern gaze.

After this, William breathed a sigh of relief, then turned around and called out to John: "You, lie in ambush there, prepare your bow." ”

Compared with Her Royal Highness the Princess, who didn't know much about things, the squire John knew a lot about battles and wars.

After listening to William's words, he understood most of what William meant.

"Do you want to use Her Royal Highness as bait, young master, isn't that good?" John asked after a moment's hesitation.

"She's the only one best suited to be a decoy - you're not enough, I can do that, but I'm still fighting. ”

"Yes, Her Royal Highness is enough to participate in the battle, but she is a princess, young master, are we-"

John, who said this, was glared at by William fiercely: "I know what I'm doing! I also know that what I'm doing is the right decision! John, listen to my orders! Son of a knight, you should understand the meaning of the words 'sir' and 'order' on the battlefield, right? Do as I say, immediately, immediately!"

"I understand, young master!" Hearing William say this, John's body immediately straightened up like a javelin. Without any doubts or concerns, he immediately followed William's instructions and lurked not far from Princess Elise.

"That is to say......"

Then William looked up, and the sun shone through the dense foliage and on the ground.

Fifteen minutes later, Tronica's Techiwu, along with two of his temporary teammates, arrived. Look around, look around. Inexplicably, the Centaur language with the smell of sheep smell came over. Together with the greasy smell of their bodies, it went straight to the ears of Her Royal Highness Princess Elise.

Goosebumps, goosebumps. Her Royal Highness Princess Elise only felt that her whole person was tense and stiff, and her body was completely unconscious, not her own.

She wanted to scream, she wanted to turn around right away, get out of here, get out of these centaurs. The farther away from them, the better. Her body's instincts were desperately urging her to do itβ€”but she didn't.

"Just stay here, just stay here. Don't speak, don't move, and don't run. It's okay, it's okay. He said so, so he must be fine. ”

Princess Elise kept repeating in her heart what William had told her before. Repeating the ...... over and over again He kept comforting himself with what William had told him. However, although she thought so, it was nothing else, just her involuntary anxious feelings, it was enough to make Tai Chiwu and the others have an idea.

After exchanging glances, they walked towards the bushes where Princess Elise was hiding
