Chapter 15: Pursuit and Ambush
85_85536 Next, it was twelve o'clock the next day. Although this was not the case when I signed the contract before, in order to make my actions more beautiful, I made up a whole number after a short time after confirming that the time was up.
Twelve o'clock, twelve o'clock. Yes, yes, twelve o'clock. After confirming that the time had reached twelve o'clock in the afternoon, Sele only felt that his whole body was much more relaxed.
"Very good, very good! Warriors of Tartaria, go hunting, and you slaves of Tatar, if you want to atone for your sins, take advantage of it now! Of course you can try to escape. Abandon your family and see if there is a place for you in this world!
Hurry, hurry, hurry! Get moving, march with all your troops to hunt down the cowardly and incompetent human beings. In addition to that, don't hurt those two people - the thin, dark-haired man will be my most important subordinate, and the long-haired princess Mazovia will be an important guest ?!!of Father Khan!
The roaring young centaur seemed to be a different person. The day before, the cultured, responsive, cunning fox-like young man who had spoken to William had disappeared and was replaced by a true steppe herdsman, a nomadic warrior, a savage, a conqueror, fierce, brutal, fearless of life and death.
Enemies of humanity.
The words of the young leader of the Golden Family, the descendants of the Blue Wolf and the White Deer, seemed to inject an invisible force into the bodies of the centaurs. His original subordinates, the warriors of the Golden Family, and the Tatar centaurs, known as the Slaves, who had regrouped after the rout, all raised their bows and arrows and roared at the sky.
The pursuit began.
Consistent with William's previous calculations, the centaurs did use groups of three, spread out to track down the people of the hunting party.
Unlike what William had thought before, their number was not more than fifty, but close to ninety. Most of the Tatar centaurs, who had been following the shaman and had fled in fear of William, consciously moved closer to Seret, giving him nearly thirty more strong soldiers.
At the same time, Her Royal Highness Princess Iris also saw that William's face became more and more ugly. Oops, very, very bad.
No matter how bad William's attitude was before, how Princess Elise secretly swore before that she would "repay" this guy well after she got out of trouble. It doesn't matter if Princess Elise will do what she thought before. At least at this time, Princess Elise admits that William is his only hope.
Yes, she's in a very bad condition right now. But if it weren't for William, then her situation would have been ten times worse than it is now. So, although she put on a cold face on the surface. But in reality, Princess Elise is very, very concerned about William's condition. It can even be said that the concern is a bit too much.
"What's wrong?"
As soon as William's face became ugly, Princess Elise, who had discovered this, immediately asked a question.
"It's time. William sighed, then said, "The centaurs are in pursuit. ”
Hearing William say this, Her Royal Highness the Princess's face did not look very good. But soon, she regained her composure: "Even if it is, there is nothing to worry about. We were a day ahead of them, and they couldn't catch up. yes, so say—"
In fact, we were only about thirteen hours ahead of them. It's not a day's time. William was not at all comforted by the other man's words. In fact, Her Royal Highness the Princess's words were completely counterproductive.
"Thirteen hours—have you really counted the time?" asked Her Royal Highness in surprise.
"Even so. William scratched his head. Calculating such a boring thing or something, of course he didn't really do it. Being able to accurately say this number is nothing more than a by-product of soul records.
"But even so...... They need to rest too, right? They can't be on the march all day, right?"
"-Alright. Hearing that this fool was still deceiving himself, William became more and more unhappy, and directly interrupted her: "Those monsters are not as delicate as some stupid princess. Whether it's speed or body, they're much stronger than the average human!"
Hearing William say this, Her Royal Highness Princess Elise was slightly surprised. Then he lowered his head. Twisted the corners of her skirt and stopped talking.
Seeing that she suddenly became like this, William felt very helpless: "What are you doing, in the end, you even want me to comfort this guy...... Is it better to just wipe away her tears, or is it better to hold her in your arms?"
After a moment's thought, William took Her Royal Highness the princess in his arms and said:
"Alright, alright. Maybe it's not that bad. William controlled his tone as much as he could, making it seem light-hearted. Immediately after, he said in a deep voice: "And." ”
"And?"
Perhaps what Her Royal Highness wants to hear is the "and" thing after this. After William mentioned this "and", Her Royal Highness looked at him with her head held high and with tears in her eyes.
"What a fool - I mean myself. I know that this guy is going to be a bastard who uses women's special skills and special handy skills to manipulate men, but I still can't help but feel like I want to protect her - ah, no. If you think about it this way, a guy like me who has such an awareness is more robbed than those stupid people who are ignorant and have been used and don't know yet...... Although the principle is the same. ”
Thinking of this made William feel helpless. Of course, he is not the kind of guy who will become nymphomaniac, unable to walk, and weak knees because of such and such actions of women. But at the same time, he is not going to ignore the girl's pleas, ignore the people who are suffering, and only care about his own cold-blooded so-called hero. Or the kind of god who can regard all things as ants, think that he is otherworldly, and control the fate of all people.
Should I evaluate people like myself a little higher or a little lower? It's a hard question to answer. Cleverness and understanding are indeed commendable. But knowingly committing this is probably not as good as some stupid people.
But, in any case, William had already made up his mind. Protect this stupid princess. Even if there are some rude and willful, some unsatisfactory, some small calculations and careful thinking. But all in all, this fool is not guilty of death. And for a fifteen-year-old girl, William felt that he could barely be tolerant and forgiving.
"And I'll protect you. William said to Her Royal Highness the Princess. As he spoke, he hugged her arms harder.
“...... Well. After this, Her Royal Highness blushed slightly. Although the blonde and blue-eyed Prince Charming is gone, it seems that the black-haired and black-eyed Prince Charming or something, it seems that you can still look forward to it. Take off the colored glasses that you had been wearing before. William von Hereford is not only an excellent young man with ability and skill, but also a beautiful young man with good facial features and extraordinary handsomeness. After the gloom and cowardice of the old William were removed, the newborn William was already qualified to be a moving girl's eye-catching device.
"Then, I'll leave it to you. Lord William. Her Royal Highness said.
That's it, whether it's going with the flow or the drawbridge effect. All in all, after this, William and Elise got closer. One step closer......
Then came the continued escape. Continue to flee in the direction of the Barony of Hereford to the west...... Although the things were similar to before, Princess Elise was surprised to feel that she seemed to be much more relaxed. The stomach is less hungry and the body is less tired. It seems that as long as William holds her hand, the strength will unconsciously gush out.
The second hour after the start of the pursuit. Unexpected prey is in hand.
Such a harvest surprised the centaurs of Tartaria very much. The centaur warrior from Tronica, Tychiu, was sensitive to movement in the bushes next to him as he ran.
This centaur, who had been fighting on the front line of the battle against the Ottoman Empire for many years, did not think about it, immediately raised his bow and shot an arrow, and heard a scream of "ahhh
Of course, neither a rabbit, nor a fox, nor a deer, nor a timberwolf, can make an "ahhhh Techiwu and the other two centaur warriors immediately stopped, turned around, and walked towards the bushes, and when they tossed the bushes with their scimitars and bowstrings, they saw two trembling human teenagers, and a corpse with an arrow in the chest, lying on the ground and twitching.
"Don't kill us, we are nobles! We demand to be treated in a way that is commensurate with our status! Captive, captive! Our father will pay to ransom us!"
A noble teenager shouted at the centaur. It's just that, very unfortunately, the centaur from Tronica does not understand the Gothic he speaks at all.
"Isn't it?" He ignored the boy, but turned his head to look at his two companions, who were not very good at discerning human faces. The vast majority of humanity seemed to him to be the same.
"It's not. The other two centaurs looked closely, then shook their heads together.
Although they also didn't understand the language of the centaur, the two aristocratic teenagers could see from their expressions that the other party had bad intentions towards them.
"It's all you bastard!" Extreme anger brewed in extreme horror. One of the teenagers suddenly roared angrily and flipped the other to the ground: "Say anything, as long as you hide, it's no problem." You're the one who hurt me—"
If you didn't, why didn't you run away on your own?! You are not responsible for this? Why are you up to me now!"
The other teenager said this as he got into a fight with him.
"That's going to be easy. "Taichiu didn't pay attention to the two teenagers. He smiled happily, raised his scimitar, and then slashed down without hesitation, cutting off the head of the young man on top.
"Ahh!!h
The young man who was pressed under the other party watched the next moment, and the other party's head disappeared. Immediately broke down and shouted. Then he pushed him away with all his strength and ran as hard as he could.
The three centaur warriors had no intention of hindering him from escaping. Let him run far away, and then they looked at each other.
"Head?"
"Afterheart. ”
"Ankles. ”
After saying this, the three centaur warriors raised their recurve bows in their hands and aimed them at the running boy, one of the three wolf's fang arrows hit the back of the head, one in the back of the heart, and finally one of the arrows of Tai Chiwu hit the ankle
