Chapter 17: Killing
85_85536As the three centaur warriors got closer, so did the fear in Princess Elise's heart. She closed her eyes, covered her ears, her body trembled involuntarily, her throat tightened, her eyes sour, tears swirled in her sockets - despite desperate patience, desperate patience, but many times some things are not "desperately patient" can get by.
It's like this is the case. Techiu and the other two centaur warriors were already certain that the bush was in an abnormal condition - of course, that was actually what William wanted to see.
A little, a little, a little...... The sound of horses' hooves is getting closer, closer and closer. Her Royal Highness Princess Elise endured as hard as she could, but at last she cried out quietly—and then, after Techiu had swept away the bushes with the shaft of his gun, she looked at this monster as hideous as she could be, and the deepest fears of her soul in the deepest nightmares, in the worst fantasies, were at this moment completely stereotyped, and became one with the expression of the centaur who grinned before her. After this, Princess Elise's brain went blank completely. Uncontrollably shouted-
"Lucky! Tengger bless, it's her, that's it! We have made meritorious service!"
In complete contrast to Princess Elise, who was on the verge of breaking down in fear, Taichiu was in the middle of a different extreme, ecstasy, yes, ecstasy—so many centaur warriors, so many detachments, and in the end he got the jackpot. If that's not lucky, then the definition of the word "lucky" should be changed.
"Yes, yes, bring him back, and the first work of this operation will be mine! Then will be the bounty, the horses, the cattle and the sheep, the harness of gold and the armor of steel, the best ug steel zuò scimitar, and the strongest wine. The position of centurion, this qiē is all mine, as long as I-"
Thinking so, Techiwu stretched out his hand to Princess Elise, who was going to grab her wrist and snatch her out of her pitiful, ridiculous hiding spot, and take her away to give it to their master.
Then he heard a roar of rage—he turned his head sharply, and almost immediately raised his scimitar as he saw a tall and sturdy human leap out of the bushes on the other side, releasing the bowstring in his hand.
"It's just—"
Seeing that this rookie shooter had an unstandard shooting move, Tai Chi Wu almost laughed - the plan was good. Caught in the obvious bait, he and his two teammates ignore the enemy hiding in another place. If it were replaced by a qualified shooter, then at least one of the three of them would have died. But this time......
Just as Taichiwu was thinking this, next to him, blood from the carotid artery of a centaur splashed all over his face. He turned his head in astonishment, and saw that there was sometime another person on the centaur's body—William jumped down from the trunk of the tree, and landed on the centaur with a fluttering lightness, barely making a sound, and then pierced the other man's neck with his short sword.
At the same time as killing a centatrium, William's left hand pulled the trigger, which was already wound and reloaded, and he held it flat and shot out with a crossbow aimed at another centatria - less than two meters away, the speed and power of the crossbow were fully realized. Before the other could react, the bolt shot straight into his eye socket and through his brain.
In an instant, William struck at the same time two centaur warriors who were taller than him, stronger than him, faster than him, more experienced than him, and much stronger than him—
"It's the human child!" Tychiu recognized William's identity at the first moment—not that he was the heir to the Hereford family and the Hereford Barony, or that he was the Red Knight, the son of Otto. The centaur warriors from Tronica had absolutely no idea what these things meant.
His deep impression of William comes from a series of bold, surprising, and even cruel tactics and methods made by William when he "negotiated" with Seray before this.
After seeing how William subdued his master, the Golden Family's Sere, step by step, he no longer dared to regard this thin-looking human boy as a child, or a minor.
This is a formidable warrior, a formidable foe that can be killed at the slightest mistake. And what happened just now also proves that his judgment is correct.
Two skilled tactically qualified centaur warriors who had grown up in the savannah were killed by him in an instant. Dead silently. Tychiu had never experienced anything like this before.
At this moment, he only felt that Wilhelm von Hereford, mounted on the back of a centaur, was the strongest, most cunning, and most difficult enemy he had ever faced in this life. It was a monster made of a wolf, a fox and a leopard.
At this moment, Tai Chi Wu completely forgot what Huntai Giselle had said, to keep William alive.
In the face of such a terrible opponent, only by going all out can you survive, and only by going all out can you have a chance to win.
The next moment when William shot his sword and crossbow, killing two centaurs at the same time, Taichiu went all out and concentrated all his energy and attention on William. Immediately afterward, he saw something wrong in William's smile.
It was a kind of smile that appeared after the conspiracy had succeeded. After seeing this smile, Taichi-wu instinctively felt bad.
The "collapse" of the bowstring came from his side. After that, Taichiwu realized what mistake he had made.
He has another enemy on his flank. And he had a bow in his hand, which had been mounted with an arrow, and it was not fired.
"Oops!"
At the same time that Taichiwu had such thoughts, a sharp arrow pierced his body - fortunately, the arrow missed. Like most Gothic knights, John was more familiar with spears and swords, and only a little about bows and arrows. In addition, because of nervousness, he couldn't play his strength well, and because of the previous shoulder injury, he couldn't shoot the target well at such a close range.
Then, unfortunately, the bow and arrow struck Techiu's arm—John's shot was not very accurate, but it was powerful. The strength of the bow and arrows he used was naturally a bit outrageous. This arrow directly abolished Tai Chiwu's right arm holding the knife, and the scimitar fell to the ground with a "snap".
"Bastard!"
Tai Chiwu endured the severe pain, and continued to rush towards William regardless of the fact that he killed him, and he had to take an enemy with him before he could do it! The ferocity of the nomadic warrior was undoubtedly revealed at this moment, and William, who was less than a meter away from him, suddenly felt a suffocating pressure.
The next moment, William threw the short sword in his hand, and the pressure disappeared in an instant. Tai Chi Wu clutched his bleeding, bleeding neck, and fell down with wide eyes. At the same time, William jumped off the dying centaur he had cut through his throat. He fell down with Taichiwu one after the other.
So far, from the discovery of Her Royal Highness Princess Elise to William's jumping off the back of the centaur's horse. The whole process is actually only six seconds. First use Her Royal Highness the princess as bait to make the other party lose judgment under the ecstasy. Then John's assault was used as another layer of insurance. After completely distracting the other party, he really attacked.
William's strategy worked perfectly. All three centaur warriors fell to the ground. None of the three of them were injured.
"Then it's easy. William thought so in his heart, and was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but he didn't expect Her Royal Highness Princess Elise to rush at him. hugged him and cried desperately in his arms.
"Well done, Elise. William smiled and stroked her long hair: "It's okay, this time it's definitely okay." Rest assured, I assure you. ”
Her Royal Highness Princess Iris cried in a daze, just choked up, couldn't speak, just nodded. William was very patient this time, and he was very patient when she finished crying, and the love was stable again.
This made Princess Elise a little embarrassed. She said to William uneasily, "It really doesn't matter, we've been delayed for so long......
"It's fine. William replied with a smile, then picked up a bag of bows and arrows and horns from beside the centaur's carcass, and handed them to John.
"Young master, do you want to disguise yourself as a centaur?" John asked, taking both of them.
"Well, that's it. William nodded.
After understanding that running away was useless, William quickly thought of this tactic.
The Centaur squads have a clear division between them, and they all use the Ratting Arrow to communicate with the horn, and they don't meet at all. This gives William a lot of room to manoeuvre.
After annihilating the Taichiwu group on the edge of the search team, impersonating them can safely move forward and finally escape from the ascension.
The two main points of this strategy are the way the other side plays the horn and the use of arrows, and the annihilation of a search team in a short period of time without attracting the attention of the centaurs.
The former was obtained by William's soul recording ability, while the latter was executed by William's tactics and strong combat effectiveness.
In this way, both points were addressed. Although William's party cannot be said to be "complete", in general, it can be regarded as safe
