Fairy Tale: Little Red Riding Hood's Wolf Mentor

Chapter 45 Rushing into the Forest
"These knights are really haunting."

Poro felt helpless as he listened to the shouts behind him.

Although the three of them rode their horses and were ahead for a while, due to their poor riding skills, the second wave of cavalry behind them gradually caught up.

Killing a grand duke caused the entire army in the capital of the Kingdom of Sino to riot!
Fortunately, the forest ahead is getting closer and closer.

What's in the forest?

No matter what, the forest in the east of the Kingdom of Sinuo is the most likely place to escape pursuit.

Poro looked at the lush jungle, which might even be much larger than the forest where he and Lake lived at the beginning. More importantly, this was an unknown forest.

Poro thought again of the information he had obtained from the witch hunter intelligence scroll.

Snow White...seems to be in this forest too?
"Hush-hush-"

At this moment, a series of sounds of breaking through the air came from behind!
what……

Poro looked up, but his expression froze!
The cavalry behind them saw that the people being pursued were about to enter the forest, but they no longer cared and started shooting arrows!

"Oops!"

The three of them rode side by side, and the army behind them, in addition to shooting arrows to suppress a few people, had already vaguely deployed a wing formation!
Poro narrowed his eyes, all the plans had almost been achieved to the extreme.

Judging from the current situation, those pursuers really don’t want them to enter the forest!

As long as... I can get to the forest...

But at this moment, Hans, who was at the edge, suddenly screamed:
"Oh no! I can't control this horse anymore!"

"what happened?"

Poro looked hurriedly -

But he saw that the warhorse under Hans had a feather arrow piercing through its fur at the hind hip!

A little blood flowed out as the warhorse rose and fell!
At this time, the frightened horse was no longer under Hans' control. It began to neigh and gallop in the other direction!
"Do you know how...how to control it so it doesn't run around?!"

But at this point, Poro and Lake could not help much.

They know how to mount a horse and pull the reins, but they have no idea how to adjust the direction when the horse is frightened!

In a panic, Hans grabbed the feather arrow behind his horse with his backhand—and pulled it out with force!
Horse blood is rushing!

The next moment, the warhorse's eyes widened instantly, it let out a painful neigh, and galloped away at an even faster speed!
The distance between them and the Poro began to widen rapidly!
"Ahem... Never mind, I don't think it will listen to me!"

Hans's health was already a little poor, he was not good at horse riding, and after being tossed around for a long time, his face finally regained its half-dead look.

He lowered his body, hugged the horse's neck tightly as if accepting his fate, and waved his other hand towards the two Poros:

"Well, thank you both for helping me along the way. Um...see you again someday!"

Poro was getting a little anxious, but even with his horsemanship, it was difficult to turn the horse around in this situation. He could only watch helplessly as Hans' figure deviated to the side...

"But your horse—is running towards the edge of the cliff!"

The Poro could only yell.

"cliff?"

Hans raised his head and took a look. It was indeed a cliff. The sunken valley bottom was like an abyss. He couldn't even see the scenery below!
"Oh...it really is a cliff. What bad luck! If I fall down...I'll probably die."

Although he thought so, Hans did not jump off the horse.

After all, if you jump off a galloping horse, you will most likely break bones and tendons!
The pursuing cavalrymen at the back didn't think so. They didn't know Hans's horsemanship, so they all showed excitement.

"Great! There's a guy who's lost his mind! He's running towards the edge of the cliff!"

"catch him!"

"He's desperate!"

Immediately, a part of the mighty cavalry was separated, trying to force Hans to the edge of the cliff and capture him alive!
However, they soon discovered that something was wrong.

"what happened?!"

"Why doesn't that guy slow down?"

"Is he going to—jump off a cliff and commit suicide?"

Then, the pursuing cavalrymen opened their mouths wide, watching the warhorse Hans was riding, which did not slow down at all, stepped on empty air, and fell off the cliff!
"Ah?" "This gangster... is so stubborn?"

"Really...committed suicide?!"

The pursuers stopped and looked around.

The cliff is steep and almost vertical. It is so high that even looking at it is terrifying!
There is no way this person can survive!

They judged this way.

……

On the other side, Poro and Lake were still speeding towards the forest.

The arrows around him were still whizzing around.

Fortunately, the direction in which the two men were riding their horses was the same as the direction from which the arrows came, which weakened the impact of the arrows a lot.

But even so, several feather arrows still hit the Poro!
Fortunately, the Poro was still wearing the soldier's chain mail, and the feather arrows did not cause any damage.

As for Lake...

Poro saw with his own eyes several feather arrows. When they flew towards Lake, the red cloak seemed to have life, floating up and hitting the middle of the feather arrows!
Although the force was not great, it was enough to change the direction of the arrow and pass by!
Well, now the Poro wasn't too surprised.

He just wanted to know how much strange magic this red cloak was endowed with.

Behind them, the leading cavalry commander looked at the distance between the two and saw that they were getting closer and closer to the forest. He became a little anxious and shouted loudly:

"Hurry up, there are only two left, stop them—shoot! Shoot quickly!"

In an instant, the pressure of pursuit suddenly increased!
As some soldiers had already been led away by Hans, Poro and Lake even gradually felt the vibration of the horse's hooves behind them!
"Lake, we can't be surrounded. They must be trying to stop us before we enter the forest. Why don't we separate temporarily and find a way to reunite after entering the forest?"

Poro gritted his teeth and said.

A hint of difficulty flashed through Lake's azure eyes, but it was quickly replaced by determination.
"Okay, Poro, hurry up—I'll be lonely without you."

Poro gave a comforting smile:

"Of course, I promise!"

Then, the two men pulled the reins hard, and due to their unskilled horsemanship, the two horses gradually separated.

In this situation, the uninjured warhorse can still execute some commands.

Since the targets became two, it was difficult for the Sino Kingdom cavalry to form a wing formation and they could only chase separately.

The cavalry's pursuit efficiency was rapidly slowed down.

This gave Poro and Lake some buffer time—

Entering the woodland, the trees on both sides gradually become denser.

The arrows flying through the sky were blocked by the treetops and could no longer pose a threat.

The two men rushed into the forest from two directions, and behind them, the mighty cavalry also went deep into it!
The depth of the forest is not enough!

The Poro had no choice but to continue galloping, and the forest became more lush.

At a certain moment, he jumped down, and when he stood on the ground, the soldier's chain mail had fallen to the ground, and there was nothing inside.

A wolf shadow disappeared into the woods again!

"We've lost track of them!"

Several pursuing cavalrymen stopped their horses with gloomy faces.

They looked ahead, the woods were shady, insects were chirping, and birds were singing, their expressions were uncertain.

"Let's go, go back."

Several cavalrymen stopped chasing. They saw half of the remains buried in the mud and remembered the rumors in the eastern forest.

"Even with cavalry from all over the country chasing them, they didn't catch a single one... Humph, these bandits are so lucky!"

"Lucky? Entering this forest is just courting death!"

They turned their horses and headed towards the light outside the forest.

It's like there's something hidden in the forest...that they can't avoid!
