Light Spirit Epic Chapter 2282: Interleaved Fate (2)
Chapter 2282 Staggered Fate (2)
"Enemy attack!" Arthur reminded loudly, and after a second, the group of guards shouted and drew their weapons.
The speed of reflexes would not pass as a knight, Arthur thought. Although the group of guards were pushing the cart just now and couldn't free their hands for a while, the slow response was basically a dead end on the battlefield. It is really worrying that the personal bodyguards of the British king today are of this level.
Let's not mention this, the guards took precautions under Arthur's warning, and the shadows that were about to move in the forest began to appear under the light of the torches in the hands of everyone.
It was black, wandering in the woods like a long snake, floating, unable to see its face, only a vague outline of a creature could be seen.
"Swamp Wraith!" shouted the captain of the guards, "At this time!"
"Because of this time," Arthur said.
These sneaky monsters have been hiding in the woods for a while now. They have to wait for people to get the carriages out of their predicament, and the reason is quite simple. Because they didn't intend to confront these guards from the beginning, but wanted to trap the carriage here all night and keep the guards nervously on guard until they were exhausted, and these monsters could sit back and enjoy their achievements effortlessly. . But the presence of Arthur and Ryoma broke the deadlock, and Hyosung pulled the carriage out of the predicament. Seeing that the carriage has been able to move again, and people may take the carriage to leave their siege, these guys are eager to appear again, trying to kill the horses first, so that the carriage is trapped here again.
Good idea, but unfortunately they met Arthur. This level of sneak attack didn't even hurt the horse's hair at all, and Arthur reacted too quickly.
"Prepare the archers! Send someone to protect the horses!" shouted the captain of the guard. During this period of time, five or six rounds of hidden weapons flew from the forest, all of them attacked those horses lying on the ground that dared not move (excluding Hyosung, who is still alive and kicking), but they were all blocked by Arthur swinging his sword. down.
"Too slow to react!" Arthur scolded angrily when the four guards rushed to the front of the car with shields and *. If it wasn't for him protecting the horses here, at least three horses would have died in the attack just now. The hidden weapon that was shot seemed to be some kind of poisonous nail, and the environment was too dark for Arthur to see clearly. In short, if that kind of thing hit the horse, it would definitely be bad.
"Verne!" he shouted as soon as the guards came to protect the horses and Arthur could move slightly away from the horses.
"Here it is!" The kid rushed over on the big white wolf, and it seemed that he was quite skilled at riding the white wolf (it's better to say that Bedivere was deliberately cooperating with Verne).
"You have better eyesight than mine and can aim at the moving shadows in the woods... um, swamp spirits?" Arthur asked.
"I'll give it a try," Verne replied, raising his * to aim, but holding his breath, he didn't start shooting.
On the contrary, it was the group of guards who, while taking precautions, shot a random shot with one hand, but none of the crossbow arrows hurriedly spilled could hit. One-handed operation* is really inconvenient. The recoil of the crossbow arrow is quite large at the moment when it is out of the chamber. It is easy to hold it with one hand and it will become unstable due to this recoil*. It is strange that the ballistics can be stabilized. As a result, of course, when the guards fired the crossbow arrows, their hands began to sway, and the shot crossbow arrows also fluttered everywhere, only if they hit the target. In addition, those swamp wraiths are all small and slick, flying back and forth in the forest, fast and agile, with this mobility, it is not easy to avoid the powerless and fluttering crossbow arrows.
"Verne?" Arthur continued to urge. More than a dozen hidden weapons shot over, Arthur swung his sword to block some, and some were blocked by the guards. There are more monsters than Asher imagined. If this continues without reducing the number of these guys, the protracted war may be very bad.
"Wait a second----" Verne cat squinted at his waist and aimed precisely with one eye. He even put * on top of Bedivere's head, using the big white wolf's head as a A base for aiming aid. Bedivere is also good-tempered, and he hasn't gotten angry yet under such circumstances.
Whoosh! Verne took aim for a long time before shooting an arrow, and the trajectory was very wonderful. The arrow shot into the depths of the forest that Arthur could not see. Arthur also wondered if Verne was shooting indiscriminately, but he didn't expect a scream from a monster in the woods, and the crossbow did hit.
"Also?" Arthur exclaimed. He couldn't even see where the crossbow arrow was going, or what it hit.
"This child...!" The guards present were also very surprised. They knew that none of the crossbow arrows they fired hit the target. Under the same conditions, the crossbow arrow fired by a child could hit the target. The gap was already big enough.
"Well, although it's a little dark, it's easier than shooting pigeons on the top of the castle." Verne replied slightly smugly touching his nose. Although this kid's attitude made Arthur angry, it has to be said that he was calmer than many others in actual combat, not like the attitude of a kid who was on the battlefield for the first time. Although Verne was indeed surrounded by a large group of rough men, Arthur and Bedivere were also protecting him, and it was reasonable for the kid not to be afraid. However, maybe Verne's psychological quality is indeed much better than ordinary people?
"In other words, if the environment is brighter, can you solve them all?" Arthur took out several bows and arrows, wrapped the arrows with cloth strips and dipped them in lamp oil, and set them on fire: "That's easy."
Whoosh whoosh! ! Arthur fired the lit rocket with the longbow he had prepared. The target was not the ghosts of the swamps wandering around in the forest, but the trees. More correctly the bark. The arrows hit one by one, nailed to the bark like this, and then turned into temporary light sources, illuminating the forest.
"Hey, if it causes a forest fire------" someone in the guards complained.
"It's fine, there was a light rain at noon today, and the trees in the woods were full of moisture, so it's not so easy to burn." Arthur replied: "Verne, hurry up! On the arrow before the flames go out!"
"Oh! Already doing it!" At Arthur's urging, Verne fired another crossbow bolt. With a swish, the crossbow arrow flew into the forest and hit another swamp wraith with precision. This time it was because a rocket was lighting up, and Arthur could see it clearly. After the thing was hit by the arrow, it twisted and fell to the ground, and it instantly turned into a black thing, and it just fell on the ground and stopped moving!
"What the **** are those?" Arthur asked, raising his bow and arrow to shoot.
"You don't know the Swamp Wraith?" The captain of the guards seemed to have set up a defense and rushed over to support the most vulnerable horses: "That's the product of witchcraft, and it's all carried out by those **** witches. The evil experiment, the evil thing that came out."
"I'm not a witch hunter, I don't know." Arthur spat. Why does he have to know about these irrelevant things.
"But since it is a product of witchcraft, it means that there are witches behind these monsters?" Arthur asked again.
"Not necessarily. Maybe after they were created by witches, they would run around and attack humans?"
Arthur didn't deny it right away, even though he didn't agree with the captain of the guards at all. These swamp wraiths are organized and targeted. They surrounded the carriage just now but didn't make a move. They wanted to consume them until the guards were exhausted, which was the best evidence that they were playing tactics. Despite this, Arthur couldn't see what tactics these swamp wraiths played in actual combat. They seemed to be just wandering in the woods, waiting for an opportunity to attack the horses. Although no evidence has been found yet, Arthur highly suspects that these swamp wraiths are relatively low in intelligence, but someone is manipulating them behind their backs.
Fourteen. No, maybe twenty. Arthur's shadow looming in the illuminated forest confirmed the number of enemy troops. Although the threat of Swamp Wraiths alone is not high, they have this number, and it will be very terrifying to attack at the same time. However, these things have not done so so far. Instead, they have built an encirclement on the periphery and continuously fired poisonous needles to plot against the horses here. I don't know what their intentions are.
It really is because someone is controlling these swamp wraiths. In order to observe the combat power of Arthur and others, he has not shown up, and is only excluding these swamp wraiths like consumables for testing? This seems to be the only plausible explanation. But how long can that guy hold his breath? If it goes on like this, all the swamp spirits he released will be wiped out, right?
Whoosh! Verne took aim and fired, and three more bolts were fired to deal with the other three swamp spirits. It's true that the arrows are not empty, even the group of mercenaries began to marvel with admiration.
"Hey hey hey." Verne was a little flirtatious.
Boom! It also happened that a poisonous needle was shot in the face, and Arthur swept the longbow in his hand to block the poisonous needle.
"Wow!" The kid almost fell off the wolf's back in fright.
"Don't be arrogant, focus on the fight." Arthur said, blaming Bedivere at the same time: "Beddie, I told you to protect this kid, were you asleep just now?"
"Wow!" The big white wolf roared impatiently~IndoMTL.com~ Probably because Verne was too stinky just now, and Bedivere wanted to make fun of that kid. Of course he couldn't help protecting Verne, but he only planned to dodge when Verne was almost hit by a poisonous needle.
"So your wolf dog can also understand human speech?" the captain of the guard asked curiously.
"Of course I don't understand, he just knew from the tone of voice that I was blaming him." Arthur continued. He saw Bedivere give him a sneaky glance.
At this time, Verne fired several arrows in a row, and the more he fought, the more proficient he became. It is estimated that he was already familiar with the action patterns of those swamp wraiths. Under his continuous onslaught of arrows, the number of Swamp Wraiths began to decrease sharply, and there were less than ten left. Then these guys suddenly changed their movements, no longer surrounded the carriage, but slipped into the dark depths of the woods in one breath, completely disappearing from everyone's sight.
"Ha, seeing the heavy casualties of the army, did you finally give up?" said the captain of the guards.
"No, just the opposite." Arthur put away his bow and raised his sword: "Their boss finally lost his temper and was about to appear."
