Chapter 7. The Jade Beauty (UNEXPECTED)

Translated by Google Translate

- - - - -

I didn't understand what she wanted from me, but she had a sword, so all that remains is to do what she says! I don't want to die yet, especially at the hands of a passer-by!

Jumping quickly into the coachman's seat, I drove the horses forward. They seemed to be only glad of this, because they rushed with great speed. By inertia, I was thrown back a little, and I hit my head against the wall of the carriage. Damn, it really hurts!

Less than ten seconds later, the Black Storms appeared from the forest. One by one they set off in pursuit. The wolves were quite large. Compared to horses, they were half the size. If such one grabs you on the side, then you will be missing a couple of organs. So it's best to stay away!

Unfortunately, or fortunately, they were behind me, and the carriage was not transparent, so I could not see who it was. However, the angry growl only indicated that it was best not to stop.

...

The carriage rushed along the night road in almost unsightly darkness, and wolves, black as night itself, chased after it. It looked intimidating.

Obviously, wolves were faster than horses at short distances, so they quickly caught up. One of the most nimble has already reached the carriage and jumped on the girl, exposing his sharp and formidable fangs.

The girl in a beautiful dress was not frightened and used her sword. The cold shine of steel cut the Black Strawberry's face and threw it back. Unfortunately, she was not yet skilled enough to kill with one blow, but wounding was not difficult.

"Soon they will have to fall behind." - thought the girl, continuing to fight off the wolves.

After about ten minutes of the chase, there was a prolonged wolf howl. It was the leader of the pack who recalled his subjects. It's time to stop, because then the territory of other animals begins. In the natural world, everything was in balance and to enter the territory of another animal is tantamount to trying to conquer it. And war with other animals is not their priority.

...

Together with the howl, I relaxed a little. The growling of the beasts became quieter, indicating that they were retreating.

What the hell is this day? First, some morons were pinned, left them, others came, and left them too. As they say further, a fox will come soon, which will eat me. Or maybe she's already here! That woman has a rapier, but what have I? Kitchen knife? It will be too late by the time I get it.

The neighing of the horses distracted me from my thoughts. They began to brake abruptly, and only now I noticed that there was a large tree right in the way. Bloody fork! Why now?

* BAM *

* crack *

* crunch *

At the moment of the collision, a variety of sounds were heard. I was thrown forward, and I flew into the tree, kicking my head well. Such a blow will definitely not leave a bump!

The pain spread through my body and I fell to the ground. Damn it hurts too much! I heard the crunch of something, I hope it's not some of my bones!

My head was spinning slightly, but I found the strength to rise from the ground. The carriage is broken, one of the horses apparently died, because now it lies on the ground and does not move. The second received a severe bruise and is now writhing in agony. The girl lies not far from the carriage. She must be unconscious.

There was a laceration on her cheek, which, most likely, she received after hitting the back of the carriage. Blood dripped from her hand from the rapier that plunged into her right shoulder.

Hmmm , the girl was not at all lucky. I was in front of the carriage, so I was thrown forward , straight into the tree. One of the horses took the full blow, and the momentum went into the carriage, breaking important supporting parts. The girl was at the very end. She hit her face against the wall of the carriage, and then the rapier, which she was holding in her hand, was thrown directly into her shoulder.

And what should I do now? Help her or just dump her? On the one hand, she helped me get rid of the wolves, on the other hand, she brought them. And now the carriage is broken, and one of the horses is dead! The loss is much more than the benefit!

Hehe , all of a sudden I thought of something inappropriate while looking at this woman. He-he-he, this is how I will collect the debt!
