85_85536The sound of gunfire drowned out the vast majority of voices here. The screams, the roars, whether centaurs or humans, the hundred or dozens of people in the warband, their voices were more than all drowned out by the "bang" of a gunshot.

Of course, this "boom" sound immediately attracted everyone's attention. So, as a matter of course, this group of people saw the shaman with a hole in his head fall to the ground.

How could it be how could it be?

What the hell is going on?!What the hell is going on?!

Why did he die, who killed him? How could such a strong warrior, a terrible shaman who wielded the power of nature, die so inexplicably?!

Fear because of the unknown, the first reaction of the vast majority of people, as well as intelligent beings, is to resist what they do not understand. And then because of resistance, confrontation produces two very different reactions.

The first is something like a donkey. Unknown creatures are actually weak chickens. With a little bit of a push, you can puncture this mysterious costume. When the time comes, you can treat them as if they were Indians. Kill, kill, grab guns. The little that was left was driven into the barren reservation. Then they are self-satisfied and claim to have protected their intangible cultural heritage.

The second is to be taught a hard lesson by something unknown, and then learn the lesson and start to treat it with a more peaceful, or weaker attitude. Of course, there are also some guys who are usually arrogant, and they will fall into a state of chaos after being hit hard. And it's a long state of chaos. There is no additional discussion of this exception here.

Now, the centaurs are encountering a second unknown.

I don't understand why there is a loud noise, I don't understand why a powerful shaman dies. At the same time, I don't understand what kind of power William has, who is holding a strange, smoking short stick.

"Tall, strong and fast. At the same time, it also has strange supernatural powers. But after exposing these superficial things, it's actually just this level. Illiterate and uninformed centaur thieves. That is, when William thought so, the shotgun that was about to fall to the ground "boomed" and exploded like a grenade.

The barrels of gunpowder, lead bullets, and shotguns that had been blown to pieces scattered in all directions. The explosion, the shock wave from the explosion, and the scattered pieces of iron and lead bullets "exploded" several centaurs in the blast area to pieces. Large chunks were blown into the air, and then chunks of chunks crackled and fell.

"Ahh

The enormous power of the explosion, and the enormous visual impact of the power, terrified the centaurs who saw this scene. Back off, back off. The speed of retreat is getting faster and faster. In the end, in less than three seconds, it quickly turned into a rout.

The centaurs dropped their scimitars and spears. Turned around and ran away with his life. Despite being in jungle terrain, the group was still running fast. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared. All that was left was stumps and severed arms all over the ground, and there were human hunting parties who were at a loss for what to do.

"Saved......"

Miss Elise let out a long sigh of relief, then sat down on her knees and fell to the ground. She was frightened by the series of changes just now. And her behavior is like a signal. The rest of the nobles, including Elise's two female companions, fell to the ground like him.

"Alright, hurry up and go back to camp now!"

It was at this time that William spoke again, urging the group of guys to leave quickly.

"But, my enemy, haven't the centaurs fled?" asked Elise, a little strangely. Although just now, William's watch Xiàn was very unexpected, and it was simply cool. But Miss Elise hadn't forgotten the cold attitude of William when he spoke to her before.

In addition, William's appearance, and comparing it with her own embarrassing wolf bèi, made her feel even more unwilling.

If it was in danger, then she could most likely continue to obey William's orders unconditionally. But now that it is safe to do so, it is not useless to protest, to question, and to show that she is not useless, and that is Miss Elise's first choice.

“......”

William looked at Elise, who looked eager to try and looked slightly provocative, and almost blurted out the phrase "stupid woman".

Soon, however, William restrained his impulse. It's like in this situation, Elise wants to challenge William's position. In this case, William can't say whatever he wants like he did just now.

The situation has changed, so the way we do things must also change.

"What if the centaurs make a comeback?, or do you want to make a bet with me like Lord Michael?" said William in an emotionless, calm tone. Looking at William with a calm face, Miss Elise opened her mouth, but she still couldn't say "yes" or something like that.

After this, William clapped his hands to draw everyone's attention, and then said in a loud voice:

"Alright, folks, if you want to be scared, if you want to cry. Whatever you want. When we're safe, it doesn't matter if you duel with me. But only if we can get out of this place safely. There's no time to hesitate, hurry up and get back to the camp!"

At this moment, Elise didn't want for the time being, or didn't dare to argue with William again. And the other person who would definitely oppose William, that is, Michael is falling to the ground, not knowing whether he will live or die. He had a few feathered arrows stuck in the vital or non-vital places on his body. It seems that even if he survives, he will not be able to trouble William in the short term.

In such a situation, William's proposal was passed as quickly as possible. The survivors of the hunting party supported the wounded and retreated as fast as they could, in the direction of the camp.

"Very well, we will probably be able to go back to camp before they react and regroup. There was more equipment, horses, and more than twenty guards left behind. With these things, it's not like being caught off guard like this anymore. Then we will have the capital to fight against the centaurs. ”

During the retreat, William used his abilities to observe and record the situation around him. While thinking about what to do next. Because of his previous cousin, he temporarily became the leader of this hunting unit. Of course, this is in accordance with the laws of the kingdom - after all, this is the domain of the Hereford family. As a landowner, William did have temporary command of the military forces by law.

"But why did the centaurs ambush us? Do they want to rob? Is it just a hunt? Or is there some other reason? In this case, there is no way to capture the captives, so there is no clue at all...... Forget it, don't think about that kind of thing for a while. ”

William paused for a moment to continue thinking. continued to urge the incomplete remnants of the defeated generals to speed up.

Because the journey time was not long, and the fear that the centaurs would kill a horse gun. So at this moment, the vast majority of the team gritted their teeth and persisted. There is no one who complains about being tired.

Of course, this "vast majority of people" does not include a few young ladies.

Elise and her two female companions were very tired.

But it's no wonder that the girl's body is a little worse. And after the action in the morning, there was no rest and no food at noon. After being attacked by the centaur again, the body was basically bottomed out. In addition, the dresses and high heels they wore were also very cumbersome.

"So, can you take a break, Lord William?"

After a little discussion, Miss Elise gritted her teeth again, walked over to William, and said so, or rather demanding.

"It's not that far from the camp, just refuel. William ignored the other party's big flickering eyes, Chu Chu's pitiful expression and half-coquettish tone, and said this mercilessly.

After being stunned for a moment, Miss Elise became angry - how could this man be like this? How could he be like this? Didn't he say that a moth or something would throw himself into the flames without hesitation? would he do this even if he died......?

Miss Elise, who was thinking so in her heart, stamped her feet in anger. Then she heard the words of William, who was in front of her and began to walk forward again: "If you feel tired, tear off the hem of your skirt and knock off the soles of your high heels." So that there will be no problem. ”

"What?!How is that possible?!"

By the time Miss Elise tried to protest to Lord William, he had already gone far away. Can't hear can't hear can't hear. Not inaudible at all. Even if you hear it, pretend you don't hear it. I don't have the time, the experience, and the plan to continue to play with such a stupid girl. If you want to put out a fire, just let the moth do it. I had never heard that Hai Dongqing would go to put out the fire. Just kidding, miss, you're getting the wrong species.

That's it, that's it. Experienced a little bit of a glitch along the way. For example, a stupid person who yells at the slightest bit of wind and grass. Suddenly I had a nervous breakdown, a screaming idiot. I couldn't help but recall the scene just now, and then fell to my knees and vomited stupid or something. However, in terms of results, this time the action was quite smooth.

The centaurs did not pursue. The worst did not materialize. The group returned to the camp without incident.

Or rather, the ruins of what used to be a camp.

Burning, burning, blazing, barbecued tents, the unpleasant smell of wood and canvas carbonization. Of course, there were corpses, human corpses and the corpses of war horses falling to the ground in all directions, dead without blinking their eyes.

The camp was destroyed.

"Damn it—is it over?!" William took a deep breath before looking at John, who was speechless beside him.

This loyal and reliable friend is the only person in this hunting party that he can absolutely trust
