"My shooting accuracy still needs to be improved."
Bai Xiaowen crouched and ran as he reflected on his actions.
"I aimed for the heart with the first arrow, but it hit the stomach. The second arrow hit the heart with the heart, but it was purely a fluke. I didn't aim at all! "
Bai Xiaowen's shooting specialty was currently at Advanced Level 1, which meant that he could use long-range weapons with greater proficiency. However, he was still far from being able to hit the target with 100% accuracy.
Bai Xiaowen wasn't angry that Ralph had sent him here as bait to do the dirty work. On the contrary, Bai Xiaowen was more than happy to be the bait after knowing that there was a female elven sword dancer who could match or even surpass Ralph in the enemy's camp.
"Ralph, I'm afraid it won't be that easy for you to claim the lion's share of the credit."
Bai Xiaowen only ran for 30 meters before stopping beneath a large tree.
A vine dangled from the branches of the tree. Bai Xiaowen grabbed it with both hands and climbed up the tree in a few moves. He then rolled the vine up and kept it.
Bai Xiaowen had spent close to an hour preparing this vine.
Not long after, two imperial soldiers led a few auxiliary soldiers to the tree. They didn't stop and spread out in the forest ahead, searching for traces of Bai Xiaowen.
After these people walked away, Bai Xiaowen slid down the tree vines and quietly landed on the ground.
In the camp, Ralph and Lorga were already engaged in a battle with the guards of the imperial envoy, Elliot.
The two Vikings were abnormally strong. Ralph's two-handed heavy sword danced in the crowd, creating a whirlwind of death. Lorga's sword and shield filled in the gaps between his attacks. The corpses of the Imperial Army's auxiliary soldiers lay around them.
However, the envoy's guards weren't to be trifled with either.
Even though they realized that they had fallen into a trap, the remaining two imperial soldiers didn't panic. They charged forward and ordered the auxiliary soldiers to engage. Laila Redleaf, the cloaked female elf beside Elliot, drew two exquisitely crafted short swords with a twist of her hands and charged towards Lorga in a single step.
The short sword swung horizontally and vertically!
The Cross Slash left a bloody cross-shaped wound on Roja's chest. His Health Points were reduced by more than 20 points!
"Not good!"
Lorga roared in pain. Ralph also realized that something was amiss. He didn't expect that there would be such a strong person in the escort team other than the four imperial soldiers.
However, given the current situation, there was no turning back.
"For the North!"
"For freedom!"
The two Vikings roared out their slogans, while Ralph unleashed a heavy slash with his sword, killing an Empire's archer! The other imperial soldiers retreated, and the two of them attacked the Elven Sword Dancer from the front and back.
Even though she was an Elite Class, Lila Red Leaf still felt immense pressure under the tacit cooperation of these two good friends.
Special Envoy Elliot, whose face was pale with fright, saw that the situation was not good and gave the order as a matter of course.
Run!
This camp was only 30 miles away from Aveu City. As long as they entered the patrolling area of Aveu City's guards, it meant that they were safe. The lord of Aveu City definitely wouldn't risk angering the Empire and let the special envoy die in Aveu City.
Wave after wave of attacks made Elliot tremble in fear, and he instinctively wanted to find a safe haven.
"Coward!" Lila Red Leaf cursed angrily. Under the combined attacks of Ralph and Ralph, she could only rely on her agile footwork to dodge, and couldn't display any battle strength at all. If Elliot had a bit of courage, he could have sent his shielded warriors to help, and they could have been in a stalemate. When the search team returned, the ones who would have to run would be these two ambushers!
Seeing that his target was trying to escape, Ralph would of course not allow that to happen. He gave up on the female elf and charged towards Elliot. With a swing of his sword, he killed one of the auxiliary soldiers beside Elliot. His head flew two meters into the air and rolled to Elliot's feet.
The bloody scene dispelled Elliot's last shred of hesitation. He ordered loudly, "Lila Redleaf, delay these two rebels. Wait for me to go to the city of Aveu to call for reinforcements!"
Lila Red Leaf exhaled and took two consecutive steps on the rock wall. She acrobatically jumped over Ralph's head and blocked his path. Her two swords were like a whirlwind, leaving two deep wounds on Ralph's body.
Ralph, who was at a disadvantage in terms of agility, couldn't ignore the female elf and chase after the envoy. He could only turn around and fight with the female elf.
Lorga rushed over to help. The two of them planned to take care of this elf first before chasing after Elliot.
Elliot and the other remaining shielded warrior of the Imperial Army mounted their horses under the cover of a few auxiliary soldiers and quickly galloped towards Aveu City.
… …
After avoiding the search team, Bai Xiaowen didn't look at the main battlefield. Instead, he went straight back. On the path between the camp and Aveu City, he used vines to set up a tripwire and happily prepared to pick up the heads.
"After I took the initiative to act as bait and lured away half of the Imperial Army's forces, Ralph and Lorga suddenly attacked. Their strength was about the same as the rest of the Imperial Army's forces, provided that the sword dancer, Lila Red Leaf, made a move."
"The envoy of the Empire, Elliot, was worried about his own situation. He was worried that a third wave of ambushers would appear. He would definitely think that the camp was no longer safe and would want to escape back to Aveu City!"
"The fastest way would be to ride a horse, and that powerful sword dancer would definitely stay behind to delay Ralph, the champion swordsman. This way, the future development would be clearer … There would be no more than three people coming from the camp. One of them would be Elliot, the envoy of the Imperial Army, and one or two regular soldiers of the Imperial Army! "
Bai Xiaowen's brain worked extremely fast. It was almost as fast as a top-notch computer. Actually, when he was luring the enemy, he had already thought of this very clearly. During the boring wait, he even set the speed of the horse, the route, and other parameters himself. He also calculated the possible time points that Elliot would appear.
"Oh, they're here." Bai Xiaowen bent his waist and crouched in the shadows at the side. He took out his white birch bow.
Clatter clatter clatter.
The sound of hurried horse hooves sounded. The two riders crashed into the tripping rope almost at the same time! The large rocks used to hold the vines in place were driven by the strong impact and rolled a few meters away.
The riders on the horses were thrown more than ten meters away like small stones. They became two rolling gourds on the ground.
If this kind of traffic accident happened to a normal person, they would probably be paralyzed. Even if Elliot and that regular soldier of the Empire had stronger physiques than normal people, they still fainted.
Bai Xiaowen did not go forward. Instead, he nocked an arrow on his bow.
"Villains die from talking too much."
Bai Xiaowen muttered. He shot the arrow cleanly and turned the two people on the ground into porcupines. Bai Xiaowen was still very accurate when shooting fixed targets at close range.
