Keep attacking girls and try not to be killed by them

"Frankly speaking, the possibility of our complete victory is very small, but it is possible to find an opportunity to break their pursuit and then get rid of them. And, we must try to do it before dark."

Jiang Ran looked up at the position of the sun. It would take about three hours before it would set.

From now on, the horizon is their lifeline.

"To do this, I need everyone's cooperation. Now all I need is for you to ignore any interference and continue to evacuate northward. If any enemy attacks, I will be responsible for dealing with them."

·

Lord Fike's words sounded a bit too confident to everyone. Facing the werewolf's attack, he wanted to protect the team alone, which was really a fantasy.

But it was incredible that everyone, including Ice Star Shirley, looked at Lord Feike's resolute figure, and the rebuttal words that were on the tip of their lips were unconsciously swallowed back.

They had a common feeling, that is, Lord Feike's strength seemed to have just achieved a breakthrough today. Then according to everyone's original estimate that Lord Feike had the strength of the fourth level, Lord Feike should now have the strength of the fifth level.

A fifth-level strength, that's a humanoid monster! Even among the five major families, it's an extremely important existence!

Just as everyone was secretly sighing, the shrill wolf howl sounded again, and this time there was more than one wolf howl, but there were two on both sides of them.

(Did he come here following the wolf howl? He's so fast...!)

Jiang Ran tried the same trick again, but he was unable to cope with all the tasks and only managed to deal with one of the werewolf scouts. The other one had no choice but to let him escape.

After this battle, Jiang Ran's level rose from 61 to 68, and his attributes also improved accordingly, but the price he paid was exposing his own position. The main force of the werewolves should catch up soon.

To make matters worse, as Jiang Ran and his companions were running, they suddenly discovered that there were also werewolves in the woods ahead, and they had already deployed their formation, ready to intercept them!

I'm updating again!

I will try to update three more chapters tomorrow!

Yeah yeah yeah!

8.43 - Each one's own abacus

"Don't slow down, I'll clear the way for you."

Under the gaze of everyone, Lord Fei Ke suddenly rushed to the front of the team.

He raised his usual black sword high in the air, muttered something softly, and then a blue fluorescent light appeared on the black sword, followed by a blazing blue flame.

No one had ever seen Lord Fike use the black sword in this way, and they all widened their eyes in surprise.

Among the crowd, Heloise was the relatively ignorant one. At this time, she thought that the messenger of the good god had to rely on divine power, but Shirley and the others immediately understood that this must be the skill of the black sword.

But even someone as knowledgeable as Shirley thought that the black sword's skill was at most the emission of fire, and that its power was probably between first-order magic and second-order magic. It was indeed a good weapon for someone like Fike, but it was not enough to face such a scene.

Therefore, when the blue flames on the black sword soared into the air and then gathered and stabilized into the shape of a flying dragon, even Shirley widened her eyes in disbelief.

——(Impossible! Flame Dragon in the Sky? Is this something an ordinary weapon can do?!)

But what surprised Shirley was yet to come. After the blue flame flying dragon was formed, it immediately flapped its wings and dived forward, spraying azure dragon flames as it dived, and in an instant "melted" the wolves in front of it and the trees into ashes.

It was the first time that Heloise and Pride saw the temperature of the flames so high that it could melt a person directly. Such terrifying power made their scalps tingle and their legs weak even just by looking at it.

Another benefit of this ultra-high temperature flame is that the combustible material will be burned out in an instant, so there will not be too much continuously burning flame left.

Wherever the blue flame flying dragon passed, it left behind not a sea of ​​fire, but a charred path.

Jiang Ran's decision to use the skill "Breath of the Crimson Dragon" was the result of careful consideration. He believed that at this point, there was no need to hide it from either his companions or his enemies.

Although "Breath of the Crimson Dragon" consumes up to 2000 points of magic power, the nearly points of panel damage can directly clear away obstacles, preventing Jiang Ran and his team from being held back by the interceptors.

Jiang Ran knew that he was being hunted down and that being caught by the werewolves was only a matter of time. However, he believed that there was still one thing he could fight for, and that was to avoid being surrounded by the werewolves.

Jiang Ran was afraid of being surrounded because if he did, he would not be able to protect everyone. Plus, there was also a guy from the werewolf royal family to deal with, so there would inevitably be casualties in the team.

In the current team, Jiang Ran couldn't accept it no matter who died.

Admittedly, Jiang Ran knew that the idea of ​​wanting to save everyone was very naive, but since there was still a possibility, he was unwilling to give up this hope.

In Jiang Ran's plan, the best case scenario is that the werewolf troops chased in a straight line. However, considering that their leader would not be so stupid, no matter how scattered the werewolf troops' formation was, as long as they were behind Jiang Ran and his team, they could meet Jiang Ran's requirements for executing the combat plan.

At this moment, Jiang Ran asked everyone to run at full speed in order to break through the ambush set up by the werewolves as much as possible, and then leave all the werewolf troops behind.

·

·

At this time, about two kilometers behind Jiang Ran and his group, the werewolf royal warrior Wamudo was leading his team in pursuit.

Not long ago, after hearing the wolf howls of his companions, Wamudo asked everyone to speed up and march faster to the location where the wolf howls came from.

Then, after a short while, new wolf howls were heard again, which allowed Wamudo to adjust the direction of pursuit and roughly estimate the speed of the "prey".

According to his own estimation, Wamudo felt delighted because the five werewolf teams he sent out should have blocked the "prey" in front of them. In this way, the encirclement formation could be completed soon.

However, Wamudu's joy did not last long before it was extinguished.

The dragon-shaped blue flame that suddenly appeared in the distant sky made Wamudo realize that Palau, Rosen, Orb and the other three were most likely dead, and the werewolf team surrounded by the net would suffer heavy losses if they did not die.

The prey could no longer be called prey, they were enemies - Wamudo's attitude towards the target changed at this moment, because he vaguely realized that in addition to Ice Star Shirley, there was probably a powerful person of the fourth level, or even the fifth level.

"Everyone, listen to my orders!"

Looking at the sun that had just sunk halfway down the mountain in the distance, Wamudo raised his giant beast horn sword and shouted angrily.

Years of combat experience made him realize that the moment of victory or defeat in this pursuit was approaching.

Success or failure depends on the next hour!

——(It seems like you guys want to get rid of us before dark, but that's impossible!)

"Everyone, there's no need to conserve your energy anymore. Give it your all and charge forward with me!"

Wamudo's charge order boosted the werewolves' morale!

They had been in a foreign country for so many days and had long wanted to finish their mission and go back, but Wamudo's order was undoubtedly telling them that this was the final battle!

In the team, the fourth-level "Swiftfoot Werewolf Scout" used the skill "Charge Howl", and the werewolves around him immediately felt that their bodies became much lighter, and their legs were full of strength.

They all sped up together, walking on the rugged mountain forest road as if it were flat ground. At this speed, they would be able to bring the target within the attack range in less than half an hour!

·

Jiang Ran heard the howling of wolves not far behind him and knew that the main force of the werewolves was catching up.

However, their team's marching speed has reached its limit.

In Jiang Ran's team, the slowest ones on foot were the elderly branch chief Pame and the heavily armored Captain Pride. Shirley, riding on a small motorcycle, was not the slowest one.

Limited by the "water barrel effect", Jiang Ran and his team could no longer move faster. Jiang Ran had actually understood this a long time ago, which was why he had previously believed that "being caught up was inevitable."

What he had to do now was to ensure that the team's situation would not be too bad when they were caught up, and to meet the enemy in a favorable terrain as much as possible.

As he ran, Jiang Ran saw a hill in front of him, which was close to a steep cliff. There was only one path leading up to the hill. The top was easy to defend but difficult to attack, which was exactly the terrain he wanted.

"Everyone, follow me!"

Jiang Ran led the team up the hill and occupied a flat land with a wide view. After seeing the terrain here, everyone immediately understood the idea of ​​"Lord Fei Ke", and then each of them took up their duties and chose their positions.

Captain Pride set up his square shield and guarded the dangerous path between the high and low ground;

Chief Pame stood at the highest point of the hill, longbow and arrow in hand;

Jiang Ran and Heloise stood on either side of the formation, ready to deal with any unexpected situations;

Shirley and Xiao Moto hid among the crowd, just hoping not to hold everyone back.

Then, not long after, the werewolves followed the trail and the one leading the charge was the royal werewolf with sea-blue hair.

8.44 - Hill Attack and Defense (Second Update)

——(Just a few humans, yet we had such a hard time chasing them.)

——(If it weren't for 『Impati-sama』, this operation wouldn't have ended up like this.)

Wamudo finally saw the targets he had been chasing all the way, and felt a little resentful.

But he is a professional after all and will not let his emotions affect combat operations.

At this moment, Wamudo looked up at the targets on the top of the hill. In his visible field of vision, he could only see a man wearing heavy armor and a middle-aged woman standing on a high place holding a longbow.

The two most important targets, Shirley and Vanessa from the Snow Deer family, seemed to have hidden themselves and disappeared without a trace.

In order to prevent the enemy from falling into the trap of "sacrificing the rook to save the king", Wamudo asked Orb, who survived the reconnaissance mission, to continue to circumnavigate the hills in the form of a giant wolf for reconnaissance.

Then, Wamudo did not plan to wait until dark. He wanted to seize the time and immediately organize his subordinates to launch a strong attack on the enemy on the hill.

·

Before the attack, the only thing Wamudo was afraid of was the dragon-shaped blue flame he had seen not long ago.

He himself doesn't really care, but his brothers are afraid that they can't withstand this level of attack.

Among the enemies he could see, Wamudo didn't feel that any of them posed a threat for the time being.

He was thinking, who would release the dragon-shaped flame?

In Wamudo's opinion, the oldest woman among the targets who used a bow and arrow might be a possibility, because he had heard of the legend of "Dragon Bow Sky Flame" and thought that related techniques might have been passed down.

——(It’s just that… this woman doesn’t seem to possess that kind of strength…)

Not knowing the enemy's background made Wamuduo feel a little uneasy, but he believed that this level of uncertainty would not affect the final outcome.

Even though it is daytime now and the werewolf clan cannot fully exert their strength, Wamudo is absolutely confident that he can end this long pursuit here.

"All scout-type werewolf warriors, step out!"

At Wamudo's command, six werewolves stood up immediately. Their bodies were slimmer than other werewolves, but slimness did not mean thinness, but that their muscles were denser.

"Split into two teams and sneak up from both sides of the hill. Prioritize finding an opportunity to kill the woman with the bow."

"As ordered!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the six werewolves immediately dispersed and quickly slipped away. Then, Wamudo gave a second order.

"The rest of you, follow me and charge! Spread out your formation as much as possible to avoid being wiped out by area magic!"

"As ordered!"

·

Beneath the hills, the werewolves have begun to move.

Jiang Ran and the others stood on top of the hill and could see the werewolves' movements clearly.

(Six werewolves have come sneaking over from both sides. Are they scouts who are good at climbing?)

(In that case...Pame Branch Chief's position isn't necessarily safe.)

Jiang Ran knew that there was no time to hesitate. The royal werewolves would soon rush up with their main force. At that time, he would definitely have to go to the front battlefield to share the pressure. Then, if the werewolf scouts climbed up the cliff directly to attack the back row, both Chief Pame and Shirley would be in danger.

(Heloise can only hold back one werewolf at most, and Pride can't just leave the intersection and retreat to rescue...)

After some thought, Jiang Ran realized that fighting a defensive battle according to the rules would definitely come at a price, so he temporarily changed his mind. After telling everyone that he would be back soon, he slid down the hill alone and ran towards one of the groups of werewolves that had sneaked in from a detour!

·

Jiang Ran sped forward, relying on his sense of direction and the direction he remembered to find an excellent angle for attack.

From this angle, he, the werewolf scouts, and the main force of the royal werewolves were all on the same straight line!

(Strike first, Crimson Dragon Breath!)

A flying dragon made of blue flames suddenly appeared in the air, and then swooped down with a roar!

With this unexpected "preemptive move", Jiang Ran eliminated three werewolf scouts in one fell swoop and interrupted the charge of the main werewolf team.

After achieving his goal, Jiang Ran immediately retreated to the hills. At that moment, another team of werewolf scouts was climbing up the rock wall and had been discovered by Branch Chief Pame using his "Eagle Eye" skill.

"The apostle of the Evil Tiger King God is here. Take it, Spiral Dance!"

Following the guidance of Branch Chief Pam, Heloise rushed out directly. She accurately seized the opportunity when the werewolves were having difficulty moving on the rock wall, turned her body at high speed and killed the fastest climbing werewolf with her hidden blade. Then she kicked off the rock wall and easily returned to the flat ground at the top of the hill.
