Don't call me evil god

Chapter 343 It’s hard to survive alone
Under the threat of death, the townspeople mustered up some courage and tried to run towards Baron Chinar's manor.

Baron Chinar stayed behind to cover their retreat.

The good news is that he is a ranger and has good long-range attack capabilities.

The monsters attracted here are generally between level 0 and level 1, and have almost no means of long-range attack.

As long as you shoot accurately enough, you can kill one with one arrow.

Bad news, there are too many monsters!
To complete a shooting, you need to pull out the arrow, put the bow on the arrow, adjust the direction, aim at the target, and finally draw the bow and shoot.

Baron Chinal has sufficiently skilled muscle memory, but a complete round of operations normally takes nearly 10 seconds.

Although he had consumed the corresponding divine materials before setting off, he dripped dew condensed on the thorns into his eyes to activate the hit bonus of [Precision Shooting] for himself.

But that could only increase his shooting speed a little bit, and only provide an aiming intuition with the help of the wilderness magic, making it easier for him to hit the target accurately without having to deliberately make careful aiming.

The time required for aiming can be reduced by 2 or 3 seconds.

If you want to further increase the rate of fire, you have to use magical powers to bless arrows, bows, projectiles, or muskets.

There's an emergency.

Baron Chinar didn't have time to do any of that.

In order to protect this group of ordinary people and allow them to take refuge in the manor, Baron Chinar had to stay at the entrance to stop all the monsters that were attracted.

Otherwise, if the gate of the manor was breached, everyone hiding inside would be in trouble.

Facing the impact of a large number of monsters.

First, shoot as accurately as possible and hit the vital points to eliminate them;
As the distance gets closer, start to lower your aim and increase your rate of fire.

Anyway, there are enough enemies, and one arrow will most likely hit something. Even if it doesn't kill them instantly, it will at least cause considerable damage.

After all the arrows were shot, there were still dozens of monsters left. Baron Chinar had no choice but to grit his teeth and fight for his life in close combat!
"Come on! Come on! Bastards, bastards, monsters, and freaks! Let's see who of us can stand the longest!"

He pulled out the short knife stuck in the outside of his thigh with his right hand, and took out two fist-sized rope balls from the trap bag at his waist with his left hand.

He had blessed these two rope balls with the [Rope Net Trap] magic in advance.

As long as it is thrown from the hand, it will open automatically at the landing point, forming a trap area.

Enemies that step into it will be affected by a certain binding effect.

Until the spell effect dissipates, or the trap is destroyed.

Rangers do have certain close combat capabilities, but they are more for emergency situations.

There are too many monsters.

Baron Chinar had no room to maneuver.

Behind him was the manor gate.

You can't take even a single step back.

He fought bloody battle, but soon his left leg was torn by the monster because of a careless dodge. Several bloody wounds instantly appeared on his calf which was not protected by leather armor.

The legs were injured and the lower body was unstable.

His upper body also shook slightly, causing a flaw in his defense. The leather armor protecting his right shoulder was torn apart, and then a piece of flesh was torn off alive.

"hiss!"

Baron Chinar gasped in pain.

When he was an adventurer, and when the monster Red Tide was recruited to defend the border, the ranger's position was basically in the relatively safe middle and rear, and there were very few opportunities for close combat with monsters.

This time he was forced to confront head-on, and although he finally intercepted all the monsters that were attracted outside the manor, he also suffered a great loss!

The injury is serious!

Limping back to the manor.

Seeing the injuries on Baron Chinar's body, his wife screamed on the spot.

"How could this happen! Honey, hold on, I'll get you some bandages and herbs!"

He hurriedly called the servants in the manor to bring a few buckets of clean water to simply rinse the wound, then applied crushed hemostatic herbs, and finally wrapped it tightly with a silk bandage. During the whole process, Baron Qinar grimaced in pain, but he could only try his best to restrain himself and grit his teeth to endure it.

There are no priests or potion shops in Qim.

If you are injured or sick, you can rely on your physical strength to fight off minor injuries.

For more serious cases, one has to find a way to go to Ceylon City and pay the Glorious Priest to provide treatment.

If you don’t have money, then there is nothing you can do.

If you are lucky, you can lie down and get through it. If you are unlucky, you will just lie down.

In the current situation, it is already very good to have some emergency treatment, and there are no conditions for more.

What's worse is that he is probably the only professional in the entire Chim Town.

The other townspeople were still waiting for his help.

Although he could close the door, the ordinary people rescued now were in line with the baron's noble duty of rescue.

If the quantity meets the requirement, there will be no liquidation or punishment afterwards.

But Baron Chinar was unwilling to stop there.

He knew how vulnerable ordinary people were in front of monsters.

If he gave up, there would probably be few people left alive in Chim Town.

Baron Chinar wanted to rescue more people.

The early stage when monsters are roaming is when time is most precious. The more you save, the fewer people will die.

But his own strength is really limited.

Looking back at the ordinary people who were hiding in the manor, trembling, kneeling on the ground and praying devoutly to the gods of various faiths, or simply hugging each other and crying bitterly, Baron Chinar inexplicably developed a sense of powerlessness.

At times like this, it would be great to have a few warriors wearing protective gear and holding shields to stand in front.

He is a ranger, not a warrior. He is good at reconnaissance and searching, setting traps, taming beasts and long-range shooting.

The short-range street fighting environment in a small town was too disadvantageous for him.

He can't even display 50% of his full potential.

As the fight goes on, it is very likely that it will turn into a situation where one person gets injured in exchange for another, just like this time.

His physical strength is limited and it will take time for his wounds to heal.

The number of monsters seems endless.

It’s hard to support a tree alone!

……

The only thing that made Baron Chinar feel a little relieved was that his two sons would not be in too much danger.

The eldest son's account was pretty much useless. He mainly followed in his father's footsteps and also went to the Dark Forest for adventure, claiming to have expanded his territory.

But his strength was indeed recognized by the Baron. He even mastered magic like [Self-Invisibility]. As long as he was not stubborn and refused to obey, most dangers would not affect him.

Compared with his brother Pete, the youngest son Bacon seems much more obedient.

A few days ago, he said he wanted to go to Ceylon City to spend some time with the descendants of Viscount Tostin.

Now it seems that Baron Chinar feels that Bacon has hit the jackpot.

No matter what, Ceylon City has the powerful Countess, a small number of standing Crusaders, Radiant Priests, and Crusaders who are determined to fight against monsters.

"The security level over there must be better than a small town of limited size like Chim Town!"
