Chapter 4-2 The silent passion song Hunting for life in the foggy forest

Ten minutes later, a group of seven people, 28 fast horses, were finally on their way.

And God seems to be deliberately against them, the snow is getting heavier and heavier. There was also a strong wind.

The first 100 miles took most of the day to cover.

The second 100 miles took all day.

In the third 100 miles, some horses can no longer run and have no choice but to start bleeding them.

The fourth 100 miles had just begun to go when a horse fell down. And while there were still 60 miles to the end of the forest, it was already slightly dark. The group still continued to push the horses forward.

"Whoosh" came a harsh sound from the woods, the sound of a bow and arrow breaking through the air. Yas behind shouted "look out".

Just as Yas uttered a warning, the chief's horse leaned slightly toward the lieutenant, forcing she to the side of the road.

"Poof", the sound.

The chief shouted, "I'm fine, it's just a scratch, keep going, don't stop."

The crowd continued to push their horses forward and did not get to 10 miles when they suddenly saw the chief fall off his horse with a thud.

The crowd rushed around to see, and the first to rush to the front was Hahn.

Hahn came over to see a long black arrow from the back forward through the right chest of the chief.

The chief showed his teeth and grinned a little, and said embarrassedly, "I wanted to do a heroic rescue, but I didn't expect that the armor given to us by the lieutenant was a counterfeit product."

Hahn did not speak, wanted to break the arrow to pull out the arrow, a try did not break instead of getting the chief like killing a pig howling. Had to use a knife to cut the arrow, before a hand will pull out the arrow. Blood immediately gushed out from the arrow hole.

Hahn uncovered the chief's armor while examining the wound and said: "The other party deliberately did not shoot the vital, the arrow from the fourth rib under the penetration, only wounded your right side of a lung lobe.

The chief said with a hard smile, "I said, can you treat my wounds first and then give a speech. I'm running out of blood!

Hahn: "You can't handle it now, the blood is flowing into your lungs, if it doesn't come out you'll choke to death on your own blood." Said and used a knife to open a cross near the wound.

Rodman came forward, picked up the broken arrow on the ground and took a look at it, and drew a cold breath: "Dark elves", the chief looked at Rodman, his eyes clearly asking the meaning of what he said.

The blood in the chief's lungs was largely drained, and Hahn hurried to treat his wounds. Rodman looked at the lieutenant who hadn't come over to offer his condolences since the beginning. The lieutenant was on guard, calmly watching his surroundings.

He gently walked up to the lieutenant and whispered, "He took that arrow for you."

Lieutenant: "I know, that's why I can't let him suffer this arrow for nothing all the more."

After treating the wound, Hahn said to the princess behind him, "Princess Sylia, please come over and cast a healing spell." However, there was no movement behind.

The people looked back, but found that the princess did not know when, passed out. The princess physique is already weak, in the first battle and consumed a lot of magic and energy, these days continuous rush simply did not rest, not to mention that she is a weak woman, is a few men are also almost unable to hold on. The princess has been relying on the support of an idea to hold on until now, and now finally or exhausted the last of the physical strength.

Seeing this, Hahn knew that they could no longer continue to travel fast, and turned back to Yas and the lieutenant and shouted, "Yas and the lieutenant, counting on you here." After saying that, he pulled a horse and ran towards the road they came from.

Rodman tried to speak but was stopped by Yas, "We can't go belly-up now, we have to take out the sniper we just saw before the rest of the opposing team arrives."

Rodman still shouted, "The other side is dark elves, don't go." But he saw that Hahn had already disappeared into the darkness.

Without speaking, Yas pulled all their horses over and laid out a defensive formation in a circular row around them, one next to the other. After setting up, the lieutenant and Yaz also retreated into the formation.

The Duke is taking care of the princess. Rodman is in charge of the guard while looking at the broken arrow in his hand.

The chief, who was lying on the ground, however, snapped, "I say Old friends!" Although very weak, Rodman heard him. Walked to his side.

The chief continued, "Old friends, what kind of dark elves are you talking about?

Rodman looked at the Duke and Princess no serious injury, went to the chief to check his injuries, found that in addition to the inability to move nothing dangerous, and then said: "Look at this arrow" said the arrow has been broken just handed to the chief together with the arrowhead.

The chief looked at it and said, "What's so strange about it?"

Rodman continued, "The arrow shaft is made of the thousand-year-old carrion vine from the Carrion Sea Forest, and the arrowhead is made of ebonized metal, which is only used by dark elves, and only by the top sniper elves."

Chief: "Does it mean that the arrow is very valuable?"

Rodman took a look at the half-dead man in front of him and mentally muttered, "Is this person in the end neurologically normal? The life is almost gone so still so love money." But still replied: "Even sniper elves usually rarely use this arrow, because often for such an arrow will be in the collection of raw materials and production process to take dozens of lives. So it is extremely valuable."

Rodman continued: "Dark elves are a branch of the elven race abandoned, it is said that they gave up the elven faith in exchange for great power, so was driven out of the elven forest forever. Their life expectancy is only half that of ordinary elves, an elf can generally play the role of 20 human archers, while a dark elf is said to be able to easily deal with 10 ordinary elves at the same time, and unharmed to kill all opponents. They usually roam the forests near various countries, only the richest and most powerful guardians can hire them, they accept the task for nearly 1000 years, and never failed."

Rodman: "Sniper elves, on the other hand, are the best among them, even on the battlefield, and are often hired by rival nations to snipe the opponent's commander-in-chief or key magicians. One hit is all it takes."

Chief: "That would be nice."

Rodman: "????"

Chief: "The one who sniped us just now should be the sniper elf you mentioned, right?"

Rodman: "Should not be wrong. " Chief: "In the process of our run has been the Duke and Princess sandwiched in the middle so there is no possibility of targeting the Duke in the first place, we move at the speed just now each of the other side can only have time to shoot an arrow, if they have enough people then they can take first let a dark elf shoot someone on the periphery of the Duke, and then by another dark elf through the The first victim fell in the moment of the exposed gap to snipe the Duke. The other side should have enough assurance to ensure that an arrow will kill the Duke. But they didn't do that, instead they targeted our commander with a blocking shot. So it is certain that there is only one sniper elf. At the kind of speed we just advanced, he could only choose to delay us waiting for reinforcements to arrive before taking further action."

Rodman nodded his head. Because only this analysis can explain the actions of the opponent just now.

Chief: "The Duke's martial arts skills shouldn't be much worse than yours, right?" The chief minister looked very excited, as if the wound did not hurt so much.

And Rodman asked, uncomprehendingly, "Does that have anything to do with what's happening now?"

Chief: "Of course there is a connection, his purpose is obviously to stop or at least slow down our advance. It can be seen that, firstly, the other side's main force has not arrived now, and secondly, the next time the other side comes is certainly not a large group of people, otherwise he could have waited until the other side had surrounded us and then suddenly sneaked in, so that even if there is no certainty of a one-hit kill, there will be plenty of time to make up for it. Third, one of the reasons why the other side did not send a large group of people should be afraid of being discovered by the cavalry station in front of them, which means that the cavalry station is not a group of people with them. Fourth and most important, if they send a large group of people to come, they will certainly guard all the intersections in front, but now if they just come a few experts, we have the possibility to quietly send people to the cavalry station to find help. The Duke certainly can not go, that is too dangerous, if he does not have any ability then even I will have a total of 3 packages, but now it seems that there are only two. Of course the possibility of surviving is much greater"

Rodman listened a little confused, but soon recovered. Mental thought: "I did not expect that this lustful devil has such an eye, really is a real person does not show the image ah. Who is he in the end?"

The chief looked at Rodman's expression and knew that he was mentally guessing his identity again. Then said: "These are learned in the military school's intelligence analysis course inside." Said a sigh. Continued: "If it were not for the sudden change by the implication of that bastard Hahn, would not have been expelled from school and ended up in today's situation."

The lieutenant next to him heard this and found it strange because it conflicted with the information he knew. Also strange to their performance these days, because these three people including that waste chief showed qualities far beyond his expectations, just never had the opportunity to ask.

Based on the instinctive reaction of a special operations officer, she quietly asked Yas, "Didn't you guys study art at a comprehensive university? How come you went to military school?" It was within a 3rd rate comprehensive university that the lieutenant found them back then.

Yas listened and blushed and said, "There was a bit of a misunderstanding and I got dragged into it, so we were both expelled."

The lieutenant was wondering why Yas answered with "I was implicated" instead of "we were implicated" and was about to ask again when he found Yas had gone to the front to stand sentry. Rodman was suddenly enlightened, it is true that these people are military trained, no wonder! In the past few days, everywhere shows the professional military style of these people. It seems that Spike's usual performance of lust and love of money is also deliberately used to conceal the truth about himself, how the real knight will show his kind of nasty style. Of course Rodman simply thought they were students of a noble school in some country on the continent.
