Keep attacking girls and try not to be killed by them

Perhaps it was because she had been attacked by werewolves many times but nothing happened;

Perhaps it was because she had grown a lot as the "White Deer Spirit";

In short, until today, Vanessa still believed that as long as there were restrictions on border security, the werewolves who could sneak into the Kingdom of West would not be too powerful.

Therefore, even though she was attacked by the werewolves on the way to Dris Town, she did not take it too seriously. She just thought that since she had killed all the werewolves and giant wolves present at the time, there would be no problem.

It was not until today, when the werewolf royal army attacked the town of Driss in broad daylight, that Vanessa realized that the werewolves and giant wolves she met along the way were most likely just the vanguard.

Perhaps, the werewolves started tracking him from that time and followed him all the way to the town of Driss.

[The above image is from the chapter "6.38 - Concerto (Third Watch)"]

Not only did the werewolf clan formulate a thorough attack plan, they also secretly poisoned Ice Star Shirley's lunch.

When the strongest fighting force in the town of Dris was restrained, the Berserkers and Assassins of the Werewolf Royal Family moved freely in the town, and in less than half an hour they turned the town's garrison and reward hunters into corpses.

If it weren't for Branch Chief Pam's surprise appearance, and if it weren't for Heloise and Pride desperately covering them, there would be no way that this group of people could escape from the encirclement of the werewolf royal family.

Vanessa couldn't understand how the werewolves had managed to circumvent border security this time. They'd even managed to infiltrate the Kingdom of Westerland.

Vanessa's intuition told her that the werewolf royal family was brewing a huge conspiracy this time.

Vanessa wanted to tell Shirley, but when she thought about how the situation turned out like this, largely because she didn't tell the truth earlier, she didn't dare to speak to Shirley.

In addition, another reason is that everyone is being hunted down now. No matter what, even if they want to admit their mistakes, they have to wait until they are temporarily safe.

The only person who made Vanessa feel that there was hope at this moment was Lord Fig. They fled to the maze just to try their luck and see if they could meet Lord Fig. They didn't expect that they would actually meet him.

·

While Vanessa was thinking, her Lord Fike: Jiang Ran, had just learned from the head of the Pame branch what had happened while she was away.

After Jiang Ran knew that Shirley was ambushed, he felt a little more confident.

As long as these pursuers are not those that even Ice Star Shirley cannot deal with, there is still hope of defeating them.

In addition, since everyone was able to escape without Shirley's help, this also indirectly shows that the enemy's strength would not be too strong.

Then, Jiang Ran checked everyone's status information and was somewhat surprised to find that everyone's values ​​were still quite healthy. Even Pride, who was the most seriously injured, had more than half of his vitality left.

(In this case, there is still room to do something, but...)

Jiang Ran's gaze fell on Vanessa's face. This Miss Lu Ling probably knew something about this "inexplicable" attack.

Jiang Ran didn't like fighting a battle without intelligence, so before taking action, he wanted to talk to Vanessa alone.

"Everyone listen, I have an idea!"

Jiang Ran adjusted the speed of the motorcycle and brought it to the middle of the team, asking everyone to continue riding while listening to his plan.

Jiang Ran's plan was not complicated. Simply put, he would let Vanessa stay behind to cover his retreat, while the others would continue to retreat and meet at the foot of Mount Camille, 20 kilometers away from here.

As for why this arrangement was made, Jiang Ran gave the reason that he and Vanessa had practiced some tactical cooperation, and Vanessa's current condition was the best among everyone except Jiang Ran.

Vanessa did not disappoint Jiang Ran's "expectations". Although she and Lord Feike had never practiced any tactical cooperation, she was a little shrewd and immediately understood that Lord Feike wanted to communicate with her alone, so she strongly agreed with Lord Feike's proposal.

In this emergency situation, no one else thought much about it. Since Fike and Vanessa were so confident, they agreed to this plan.

·

When they were about to part, Jiang Ran heard Heloise turning around and shouting at him.

"Feike! The apostle of the Evil Tiger King God will never allow you to deviate from the contract without permission!"

Although he didn't quite understand the specific meaning of Heloise's words, Jiang Ran knew that she was asking him not to die.

Pride also shouted loudly for Jiang Ran to be more careful. In fact, if it weren't for Jiang Ran's determination, Pride would have stayed behind to cover their retreat.

Just like that, Jiang Ran and Vanessa watched the others speed up their evacuation, while they deliberately slowed down to prepare to meet the enemies who were chasing them.

"Vanessa, do you know anything about this attack?"

Time was running out, and before the enemy caught up, Jiang Ran asked Vanessa a question directly.

In addition, while asking, he used a telescope to observe the rear, and at the same time, he was thinking about the next combat strategy in his mind.

Vanessa didn't waste any time and immediately confessed to Jiang Ran in a concise and clear manner about what happened between her and the werewolf clan.

·

"So... the enemy this time is actually coming for you?"

Jiang Ran was a little stunned after hearing the explanation. If that was the case, he should have asked Vanessa to evacuate as soon as possible.

"They were coming for me... but not entirely."

Vanessa sighed and told the story that Ice Star Shirley was actually from a snow muntjac family, even though it was not really a secret.

After talking about Shirley, Vanessa wanted to talk about her guess about Heloise's life experience, but she thought about it again and felt that there was no conclusive evidence, so she put it aside for the time being.

"But why is there such a deep hatred between the Snow Deer Clan and the Werewolf Clan? Why would they cross the border to hunt you?"

Vanessa's concise explanation failed to completely answer Jiang Ran's doubts. Unfortunately, now was not the time to listen to the story, because just after they finished speaking, the werewolf hunting team had entered Jiang Ran and his group's sight.

"Lord Fike, I'm afraid I'll have to wait until the battle is over before explaining your question."

Vanessa drew her silver flute and prepared the three deer spirits for battle.

At this time, Lord Fike slowed down and blocked Vanessa behind him, then said lightly: "Vanessa, you don't have to fight, just leave it to me."

8.03 - Counter-Pursuit Operation (nd Update)

"Eh?"

Vanessa was stunned.

During their previous interactions, Vanessa had somewhat realized that Lord Fike might have certain strength, but to deal with the werewolf hunting team alone... these guys were powerful enemies that she, Branch Chief Pam, Captain Pride, and Heloise could not defeat even if they joined forces!

——(Could it be that Master Fike is actually extremely powerful?)

Looking back, Vanessa remembered that Pride had once expressed his admiration for Lord Fike. Anyone who could be admired by Pride, the captain of the First Cavalry Squadron of the Cuilin City Cavalry Regiment, must be very powerful. Combined with Lord Fike's successful return from the maze, the Green Ghost's Lair, Vanessa became more certain of her guess.

But even so, Vanessa still found it hard to believe that Lord Fige could be stronger than the four of them combined.

"As you command, Master Fike."

In view of the impending battle, Vanessa temporarily put aside her puzzled expression.

She was looking forward to Lord Feike's performance, but was also prepared to take action and cooperate in the battle.

After the battle was finally over, Vanessa realized that she had been worrying too much.

·

Among combat professionals of the same level, Vanessa's dynamic vision is considered to be below average.

Sitting on the galloping horse, she could only vaguely see several enemy figures hiding in the woods chasing them.

Judging from the fact that the other party is not riding a horse, the enemies currently chasing us should all be werewolves, because adult werewolf warriors have speed and endurance that are no less than war horses, and are even more explosive and agile.

In the many previous battles with the werewolf clan, Vanessa basically fought mostly with the giant wolf monsters raised by the werewolf clan. Even if she encountered a werewolf, it was only one at most.

This is the first time Vanessa has fought against a group of werewolves like this, and the level of these werewolf warriors is much stronger than those she has encountered before.

As the enemy got closer, Vanessa's worry for Lord Fige outweighed her trust.

Lord Fike, who just came out of the maze, looks a little unwell. Can he really repel these enemies alone?

As a wolf howl sounded, the werewolves who had accelerated and caught up finally launched an attack!

·

The leading werewolf jumped out from the bushes, followed by three more. They split into two groups, left and right, and seemed to be planning a pincer attack.

At this time, Lord Fike shouted at them.

"Hey!"

"Werewolves!"

"If you still have any honor as a warrior, then kill me first and then attack the girl behind me!"

Vanessa was flattered to be protected by Lord Fike.

As a member of the Qianlong organization, she should protect Lord Longying Feike from harm. How could she be protected in return?

However, while being a member of the Sub-Dragon organization, Vanessa is also a young girl.

Vanessa blushed slightly and felt a sense of joy at being protected by a man like Lord Fike.

After Lord Fike finished shouting, the werewolves did not respond, but rushed up at a faster speed.

Seeing that the werewolves were about to launch an attack, Lord Fei Ke suddenly drew out the Yanlan long sword and slashed it in the air. A strange azure flame flew out from the blade and turned into a galloping horse in the air, burning the enemies while successfully repelling them.

Before Vanessa could marvel at the power of this blow, Lord Fike, without even turning back, threw his sword into the air beside him. Vanessa followed the sword in confusion and was surprised to find that a werewolf had already jumped onto the treetop next to her and used the branches as a springboard to pounce on her and Lord Fike!

——(Oops! The sword throw wasn't strong enough!)

Vanessa thought Lord Fike was going to use his flying sword to shoot down the enemy, but she soon realized she was wrong.

Before the long sword could be blocked by the werewolf, a black figure who appeared out of nowhere suddenly jumped out, grabbed the long sword that was still flying in the air, and then made a sharp turn, and unexpectedly cut off the werewolf's head with a sword!

—(Eh? Eh…?)

——(Reinforcements? When?)

Before Vanessa could react, the black figure had already rushed into the woods. During this time, Lord Fike raised his longbow and began to shoot powerful arrows at the werewolves that appeared from behind.

Although Lord Fike's long-range fire suppression was not fatal, its considerable power prevented the werewolves from easily revealing themselves from the woods.

In addition, the black figure that rushed into the woods to fight seemed to have been caught in a fierce battle, and the sound of swords and armor clashing could be heard continuously.

For a moment, Vanessa thought that Lord Fike had the situation under control. Using the range advantage to suppress the enemy during escape operations was a textbook tactic, but in the next second, the werewolves dispersed their formation and burst out at speed, overtaking from both sides in one breath!

Suddenly, sharp wolf howls were heard all around. When the relationship between the two sides changed from pursuit to encirclement, Lord Feike's strategy immediately became ineffective. The threats from all directions could not be suppressed by just one person and one bow.

At this time, Lord Fike took the initiative to slow down and distance himself from Vanessa. It seemed that he really wanted to face the siege of the werewolf army alone to protect Vanessa!

——(Why are you protecting me like this? It’s not like I can’t fight…)

Vanessa gripped the silver flute tightly, ready to join the battle at any time.

·

After the encirclement was completed, the werewolves immediately launched an attack.

These werewolves, who use their long and sharp claws as weapons, are like a pack of wolves. They only attack once each time. Whether they succeed or fail, they will never fight to the end and will immediately retreat into the woods to wait for the next opportunity.

Faced with the werewolves' continuous attacks, Lord Fike responded calmly. The tacit understanding between him and his warhorse was simply incredible. He avoided attacks that Vanessa thought were impossible to avoid several times.

——(But, this isn't a solution... They'll definitely attack from behind...!)

Just when Vanessa was worried, a werewolf rushed out from the blind spot of Lord Fike's vision. Vanessa was about to help, but at this time Lord Fike threw a dagger behind him without looking back, as if he had eyes on the back of his head.

Immediately afterwards, similar to the scene of throwing the long sword just now, a black figure emerged from the shadow cast by the dagger on the ground. He leaped up, caught the dagger smoothly, and then fought with the sneak attacking werewolf.

——(Another reinforcement??)

——(Can these reinforcements hide in the shadows?)

Vanessa was becoming increasingly confused about the battle. Just as she was dazzled, the black figure No. 1 who had just rushed into the woods returned with Lord Fike's dark blue sword.

The black figure disappeared without a trace after returning the sword, which left Vanessa stunned again.

——(The black figure... turns out not to be human?)

——(Are they Master Fike’s… skills?)

Vanessa thought these mysterious black figures were powerful enough, but what she didn't expect was that even more surprising things were yet to come.

8.04 - Using the Trick

Surrounded by the werewolf troops, the escape and pursuit turned into a positional battle.

Vanessa was outside the encirclement, while Lord Fig was inside.

These brave and aggressive werewolves unexpectedly value the honor of being warriors. They may really do as Lord Fike said and fight with Lord Fike first before attacking Vanessa.

For this reason, Vanessa is in a difficult position to help Lord Feke now. Once she does, all Lord Feke’s hard work will be in vain.
