Chapter 38: The Shadow of the Spring Hunt
A sudden wolf attack cast a shadow over the royal spring hunt.
Fortunately, the princes who participated in the competition came prepared, and each of their team members were elite hunters and warriors, and after the initial panic, they all survived this crisis without danger.
"Prince, the battle of this wolf attack has been counted. ”
Prince Gallaher closed his eyes slightly, listening to his Praetorian Commander, Nambo, report on the outcome of the attack.
"A total of nine hunting teams were attacked by wolves, and none of the hunting teams under His Highness were injured. The Second Highness was injured on the side, but judging from the light and shadow screen, the injury was not serious, but he was stabbed in the foot by the rock wolf's natal magic. The Fifth Highness has three wounded on his side, and one of them is seriously injured and can no longer move, and I have already sent someone to carry the wounded. ”
Prince Gallaher nodded, "You're doing a good job. ”
Nan Bo continued to report: "His Royal Highness the Ninth Highness has also injured three of them, including himself. ”
Prince Gallaher's eyes opened suddenly, "Why is Xiao Jiu injured too?"
"Don't worry, His Royal Highness the Ninth is not seriously injured, His Highness has been rushing to the front to fight with the thorny rock wolf, and he was accidentally bitten on the arm. ”
Only then did Prince Gallah relent.
"The ten princesses were seriously injured, three were lightly injured, and two were scattered, but the princess was unscathed. ”
Prince Gallah couldn't help but scold: "A group of unfortunate things, how can there be some people who are scattered?"
Nanbo forced a smile, "There are two cowardly, and when they see the wolves, they turn around and run away. Because they are out of range of the princess's light-leading glasses, we haven't found them on the light curtain yet, where did they go?"
"No need to look for it, it's best if these useless wastes die. ”
"No one was injured on the side of His Highness Eleventh, and His Highness Thirteenth and Fourteenth ......"
"Wait. Prince Gallah stopped the report, "Is there a small number of rock wolves attacked by Joan?"
Nan Bo shook his head, "Visually measuring the number of wolves encountered by His Highness Eleventh is not much worse, if not the most. ”
Prince Gallaher smiled once, "It looks like that little guy has hidden his hole cards!"
Nanbo continued to report: "There are five dead and wounded on the side of the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Highnesses, and they have escaped from the wolves, but the two Highnesses are safe at the moment. ”
Prince Gallaher sighed lightly, "You send two teams to bring them back, they are still too young, and this year's spring hunt is not normal." ”
"There are two other teams ......"
"I don't have to report the rest. "Prince Gallah doesn't care at all about the situation with the other hunting parties.
"The situation has been very clear, except for Xiao Qi and the Twelve Princesses, all the direct heirs of the emperor have been attacked by wolves, attacking the other two teams just to confuse, it seems that the target this time is the princes!" Prince Gallah said in a low voice.
"The prince doesn't think that this matter has anything to do with His Royal Highness, right?" Aru next to him asked with some concern.
"The manager is too worried, I won't suspect any of them casually, not to mention that Xiao Qi's current position is too far away from the position of the wolves attacking, if he is really playing tricks behind his back, he will not be so stupid that he is not attacked by the wolves. ”
"Prince, the old slave still hasn't figured it out, if it's really going down to your highnesses, I'm afraid that only using the means of driving wolves and attacking will not achieve the ultimate goal, right?"
Gallaher nodded slightly, "Exorcist beast attacks are not a clever method, many people have used this method in the hundreds of years of royal spring hunting. This time it seems to be just a temptation, and I still don't know what exactly it is. ”
"Then I will go back to the palace to report the situation tonight to the emperor, and ask the emperor whether to terminate this spring hunt or send additional guards. Aru said that he was about to get up and leave.
"No, wait, Steward. Prince Gallaher stretched out his hand to stop Aru, "It's not appropriate for you to leave now, there are not many generals and warriors beside me tonight, and what is missing is a top master like the chief manager." I'm worried that the other party may still have a back hand, and if there are several problems at the same time, I am not able to do anything, and I ask the manager to stay and help me take care of one or two. ”
Aru sat down slowly, "Then I will also report tonight's situation to the emperor through magic transmission." ”
......
Under the rock wall, there are twenty or thirty wolf corpses scattered around, and Golly and Becky are happily collecting the crystal nuclei of the thorny rock wolf.
Although the fur of the third-level demonic beast is also worth some gold coins, it is too time-consuming to peel the skin, and Joan and Arthur, who have deep pockets, are no longer very attractive.
"Why are you two standing there stupidly, don't you help in battle, don't you do your work?" Gly yelled at Arthur and Joan in dissatisfaction.
"Obviously, you told the two of us to stay back and not interfere. Arthur muttered a sentence and stood still still.
In this battle, Arthur and Joan really didn't make a move, and in order to practice team cooperation, only five people, Lugan, Huey, Golly, Becky, and Nini.
This is a very balanced team lineup of three martial arts and two demons, with Lugan at the forefront as a defensive tank, Huey and Golly providing attack output on both sides of Lugan, Nini providing magic protection and healing to ensure the continuation of the battle, and Becky of Demon and Martial Arts is responsible for support and special attack output.
Through this actual battle with the wolves, the power of this lineup was also confirmed, Lugan, Huey, and Golly blocked the siege of the wolves with the assistance of Nini's "water shield", and Becky shot to kill the wolf king at a critical time, and the wolves dispersed themselves.
"I think we should move around sooner," Joan said with some apprehension.
"Do you think this attack is abnormal?" Arthur whispered.
"I've never heard of such a large wolf pack in Sword Orchid Mountain, and these thorny rock wolves appeared a little suddenly. At this time, Joan did not know that multiple hunting teams were attacked at the same time, but she had a faint feeling that something was wrong.
"Well, I can't rule out the possibility that these rock wolves were deliberately brought in. Arthur was more sensitive than Joan, after all, he had an experience in the Orlando Mountains when he was lured by a demonic beast to attack repeatedly, "What are you going to do next?"
"No, it's speculation after all. We continued to walk into the mountains, keeping as much distance as possible from the rest of the hunting group, and at the same time staying in the same place as much as possible, so as to avoid being targeted as much as possible. ”
"Are there any little lord-level demonic beasts in the mountains?" Arthur thought of another possibility.
"Absolutely not, up to the sixth level of demonic beasts. If there is a small lord-level demonic beast occupying a territory in Sword Orchid Mountain, the local generals guarding the hunting ground will definitely notice it in advance. ”
Arthur's heart settled down a little, "Then let's stay in the mountains for another day, find a fifth- or sixth-level demonic beast to train a pair of people, and start returning after dark, there is no point in risking without benefits." ”
Joan, who had no desire for hunting results, was even more reluctant to stay in the mountains, and immediately began to pack up the barbecue that had not had time to eat before, and prepared to move immediately.
But there are many things in this world, and the more you try to avoid them, the more you can't avoid them......
