Chapter 188 Rescue 3
"Woo--"
The guards guarded the gate of the city only heard a wolf and spread from far to near.
Everyone was scared.
"Hahaha! See you scared you."
When the captain was successful, he scared everyone, and he was unhappy. The wolf outside was really a little bit.
"This is a hundred years ago, and the authenticity is not guaranteed. I continue to say this legend. Later, an unknown warrior appeared. He sneaked into the forest alone, but never returned ..."
"People say that this warrior has been sacrificed, but the wolf group is also split, unlike the unity and cooperation as before."
The soldiers could hear, "Is the warrior killed the wolf king?"
Captain nodded, "What can be going on. Without the wolf king, the wolves are cracked."
"Later, the Adventurer Association set up a stronghold here. The organizers of the organization went out to clear the wolf. The residents' self -defense team also entered the forest and regularly eliminated those larger wolves. The scale of the ground is getting larger and larger, and was eventually selected as the capital when the Alliance was established. "
The guards were surprised, but I did not expect that there was such a history of the city that was bad.
One of the soldiers was a little uneasy. He whispered: "Brothers, do you hear any movements? It seems like a wolf screaming?"
"Hahaha!"
Everyone laughed, "Are your kids scared by the captain's story?"
But soon they couldn't laugh, because they heard it.
It's not that one or two wolves are screaming, but many, many wolves are calling.
At first, I did n’t hear it clearly, but the sound gradually louder, and it became more and more dense. In the end, it became a chorus of a group of wolves.
Everyone's eyes stared at the gate of the city guards, and after watching the gate of the city for such a long time, it was the first time that they encountered such a weird situation.
A guard said, "Tonight ... it doesn't seem to be right tonight."
Others nodded again and again, and everyone thought of the ancient legends that the captain just talked about.
The captain's brows also frowned. Is the legendary scene reappearing. In fact, he did not believe in the absurd legends. He just talked to his subordinates to understand it.
"His mother, the wolf cub outside is called spring."
A joke rushed to the fear of their subordinates.
"It's really unusual tonight, let's not bake the fire, let's look at the gate of the city, and close the door immediately when you find something wrong."
"Even if the group of beasts really crazy, with the tall and thick city walls, I don't believe they can crawl over."
The guards responded and came to the gate of the city to take a closer look.
Not long after, there was no other abnormal situation except the wolf calling outside the gate, but a team of people came on the street inside.
This is the rescue team from the dock.
Quick ordered everyone: "There are guards in front of the door, and those who are wrapped with bayonets will be picked up. Don't make people doubtful. In addition, the formation is scattered."
After such a large group of people came to the gate of the city, they were stopped by the guards.
Xie Yan came forward to negotiate with the guards, and she had an anxious expression on her face, which was not pretended.
"My daughter went outside the city during the day and hasn't come back yet. I want to lead the helpers to find her."
"Mrs., you calmly, maybe she lived in a friend's house in a nearby village. Did you hear so many wolves? Now it is very dangerous outside the town."
"No, my daughter has no friends outside the city. I have to go to him anyway."
The city guards showed a helpless color, but no longer stopped it. "Well, I wish you good luck, don't go into the depths of the forest."
He glanced at the team behind Xie Yan, about 30 people, may be able to deter small wolves.
Because there were no carriages and large -scale luggage, the soldiers did not check and immediately released it.
Still guided by parrot Polly in front, the rescue team continued to move along the road.
"Now put the bayonet! Lighten the fire rope! Prepare at any time."
Not far from the gate, Captain Quick's order was prepared for weapons.
The sound of wolfs from all directions was a bit infiltrated, and everyone in the team was very nervous.
"Mrs. Caia, is the Nisburg in the evening?"
"No! I have never heard of it."
Quick's heart hangs a little.
After walking for nearly twenty minutes, they finally saw the wolf in the trees on the side of the road for the first time, but they were not attacked. The wolf just looked at them with green eyes for a while and ran north.
Judging from the sound, there are a lot of wolves in the bushes.
"Master! Wolf! 人 Master! Wolf!"
The parrot Polly screamed, making Xie Yan determined that the danger that her daughter encountered must be related to these wolves.
After continuing a distance, the road ahead began to become straight. Without the blocking of trees, everyone saw the looming fire.
"Master!! Master!"
The parrot Polly screamed even more joyfully.
Xie Yan told Quick: "My daughter must be in front! Just near the filament!"
"Speed forward! Go towards the fire."
The team ran away, but it didn't take long for the obstacle -about a dozen wolves in front of them were stopped on the road.
Of course, this was only what they could see. There were also sounds coming from the forests on both sides. There must be a lot of wolves inside waiting for an opportunity. Otherwise, a dozen wolves alone would never dare to stop thirty adult men. of.
The target of these wolves is obviously the rescue team. Their hair stands on end, their lips curl up, their teeth are exposed, and they make a threatening "whining" sound.
In order to facilitate command and rational output of firepower, Quick divided the thirty sailors into three groups.
He shouted: "One group is ready to shoot! Group two and three are on guard on both sides!"
The ten sailors at the front lined up in a row. They raised their muskets and pointed their guns at the wolves in front of them under the bright moonlight.
The match rope at the gun machine had already been set up, and the end of the slowly burning rope showed a small red dot in the night.
"Fire!"
Captain Quick gave an order, and the sailors in the first group pulled the triggers at the same time.
Ten muskets suddenly made a loud noise, which temporarily drowned out the howling of the surrounding wolves.
Since it was night, the fire from the muzzle was particularly dazzling, illuminating the surrounding area.
The wolves that blocked the road were in bad luck. The deadly projectiles tore their fur and embedded deeply into their bodies.
More than a dozen wolves fell down in an instant, and most of them lost their breath immediately. The ones that were still alive let out painful "嘤嘤嘤嘤" sounds.
The screams of canines were particularly heart-wrenching. Many people felt pity for these wolves. People who had dogs at home also thought of their own dogs.
The wolves who were not shot were frightened by what happened to their companions, but what frightened them even more was the sound of the muskets. Wolves (dogs) have very keen hearing, and sudden loud noises are a terrible weapon for them. .
The wolves that were still able to move fled away with their tails between their legs, and the woods on both sides of the road soon became silent.
Quick waved his hand and said, "Keep going!"
"This...is this enough?"
Xie La was greatly shocked. She had drawn out her dagger and placed it in front of her, ready for a desperate fight. Unexpectedly, the Aldo people dispersed the wolves as soon as they took action.
The strange weapon used by Aldo made Sheela jump.
It was powerful and could hit wherever you pointed. This was the musket that left the deepest impression on her.
But since her daughter was still in danger, she didn't have time to think too much and followed the team towards the direction of the fire.
On the way down, they encountered two more groups of wolves, but the power of the muskets did not cause any obstruction.
The team finally reached the light they had seen before, and sure enough, there was flame burning.
Although it had been extinguished in some places, it could still be seen that the flames formed a circle intermittently, and in the center of the circle was a carriage.
"Master Ladi! Master Ladi!"
Polly the parrot flapped his wings and flew towards the carriage.
There is no mistake. One post, one content, one 6 one, one book, one book, one read!
The door of the carriage opened quickly, and two women came out. The crew of the Southern Ship recognized that one of them was the female advisor beside Count Grayman.
Polly landed on Ladi's shoulder and kept rubbing his head in her face.
Xie La also rushed to the carriage, got up and held her daughter in her arms. She was both thankful and reproachful and said, "I'm scared to death. What's wrong with your child!"
"I'm sorry, Mom, for making you worry."
Helen on the side felt very guilty, "I'm sorry, Auntie, it's all because of me."
"Alas~"
Xie La sighed, not knowing what to say.
Quick ordered his subordinates to guard the surrounding area and came over, "It turns out it's really you, Miss Consultant."
The female advisor blushed, "I'm sorry, Captain Quick."
Quick waved his hand, "Forget it, since we already know, there's no need to say more. It's important to go back to Nisburg right now."
"Thank you, I have troubled you this time... Oh, this is Her Royal Highness Helen, the Grand Duchess of the Principality of Eton. She and I went out to look for her sister, and we didn't want to encounter a pack of wolves."
"The eldest...the eldest...the eldest princess?"
Quick was suddenly at a loss. In his opinion, the Grand Duke seemed to be one level lower than the king, and the consultant lady said it was the Principality of Eton. Couldn't that be the actual king, the woman next to the consultant lady? Isn't it equivalent to a queen?
He suddenly realized that he seemed to be involved in foreign affairs, and the other party was also the highest-level person in a country.
Father in heaven! Spare me! I have never even come into contact with a noble other than the lord.
"Your Highness! I, Captain Quick of the South, am here on behalf of Count Paul Grayman from the Arda Territory in the northwest bay of the Kingdom of Aldo. Please forgive me for offending!"
He made a poor courtesy towards Helen and stammered about his identity.
After finishing speaking, I remembered that I still didn't know whether the other party could understand my language, so I had to wink at the female consultant.
Ladi smiled and said: "Don't worry, senior sister understands Aldo language."
Senior sister? Damn it, the consultant lady who looks very low-key turns out to be so happy in her hometown! Why did she go to a rural place like Northwest Bay?
Grand Duchess Helen bowed to Quick and thanked her with a smile:
"Thank you very much Captain Quirk for coming to the rescue tonight. Our sisters can't thank you and your men enough!"
"What the hell! The princess is so polite!"
Quick quickly yielded.
Lady Setia on the side suddenly interrupted: "I say, everyone, now is not the time to chat, let's go back to Niceberg as soon as possible. I always feel that the wolves around are gathering again."
Then everyone remembered that they were still deep in danger.
Quick said: "There is no time to lose, let's go!"
Helen took her sister who was still unconscious from the carriage. Quick wanted a soldier to carry Fanny, but the Grand Duchess refused.
"This child is very light, I can still carry it, concentrate your manpower to guard against the wolves."
So Quick announced loudly to the sailors to return to Niceberg.
But just as they started to go back, they ran into a large group of wolves.
They only heard the wolf howling in the forest, which was terrifying. After a while, with the help of the moonlight, they saw countless wolves rushing towards them like a swarm.
The wolves were lined up in a single line, as neat as the troops led by an experienced officer.
Quick immediately ordered the sailors to move closer to each other and stand in three rows according to the groups they had divided before.
In order not to interrupt the fire for too long, he ordered that only one row of people should fire at a time, and the other two rows should be ready. If the wolves continue to rush over after the first row of gunfire, fire the next row of gunfire.
At the same time, the row that has finished shooting should not be busy with the second reload, but should hold the gun tightly and use the bayonet to guard against those lucky and courageous "green-headed" wolves rushing over.
The gunfire sounded soon!
Several wolves were hit in the head and fell down, and several others were injured and ran away with blood dripping, which could be seen clearly under the moonlight.
The wolves behind were frightened, and they no longer charged here, but they did not leave, but kept wandering at a distance, as if they were hesitating whether to continue the attack, after all, they were outnumbered.
But the range of the muskets was still able to catch up with them. Although the smoothbore barrels had lost their accuracy at this distance, there were always so many guns that could hit.
The second row of gunfire sounded, and several more wolves fell in the distance.
"There's movement in the woods! Use grenades!"
The soldiers on both sides immediately took out grenades, lit them, and threw them into the woods.
After a Few Grenades Exploded, Several "嘤 嘤 嘤 嘤 嘤 嘤 嘤 嘤 嘤 嘤 嘤 嘤 嘤 嘤 嘤 a a a a.
Some wolves frightened by the explosions rushed to the road in a daze, and were stabbed to death by the sailors holding bayonets.
Grand Duchess Helen stared at the wolves fleeing in a daze, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
Ladi on the side whispered: "Senior sister, it's incredible, right?"
"..."
The answer to her was silence.
"After I arrived at the Northwest Bay, I felt vaguely in my heart..."
"What?"
"The era of heroes is about to end..."
...
After confirming that the wolves in front had run away, Quick ordered the team to continue on the road.
The crowd fired a few shots along the way, and fortunately no one was injured by the wolves.
Finally, they arrived at the north gate of Niceburg. It was almost three o'clock in the morning.
