Chapter 31 A complete show
"I have already drank the healing potion, don't waste any more energy, my companions need you more." Gavin seemed to recall some painful experience, shook his head repeatedly, and said to the girl Thank you very much for the priest's healing magic.
After Gavin finished drinking, he put the small cylinder with a small label inside into his medicine belt, just like his own stuff.
"That's right, that's right... I heard from the chief priest that those creatures who gained the power of demons used their souls to exchange powerful power with the demons. They are extremely evil and cruel... That The Purgatory Jackals must be very powerful...Have you purified the devil's servant?" I don't know if the girl priest is too simple-minded or was attracted by Gavin's adventure stories and was completely unaware of Gavin's robbers. Behavior.
"It is indeed very powerful!" Gavin recalled the ferocious and ugly appearance of the Purgatory Gnoll, and nodded involuntarily, "Because we misjudged the enemy's strength, we only had time to kill the culprit. Many Gnolls All fled They are scattered, so we need to make more preparations to prevent encounters. These potions are prepared for this. If they are not used, I will return them in full. If they are used, I will pay according to the market price. ”
After Gavin filled up his combat potion belt, he began to stuff it into the girl priest's belt. Seeing that there was an extra belt in the cabinet, he pulled it over and stuffed it equally, and tied it around his waist. No one has too much stuff, but it’s a bit inconvenient, but it’s not a big problem.
The young pastor, who has never left the village or church, is innocent and cute, but has no idea about many things, and was led astray by Gavin.
Not only were there a bunch of various magic potions and scrolls, but even the clothes were changed into a pair of slightly larger leather armor, with a thick leather jacket underneath, which was completely stretched out, and it seemed to fit well. The slender and well-proportioned body is three times thicker. From a distance, it looks a bit chubby. Coupled with the round face of baby fat, it has an inexplicable joy.
Carrying a small buckler on her back and a heavy mace astride her, you can tell by the skillful way she holds them that she has worked hard on it.
"Wait...wait..." Just as she was about to walk out of the church door, Anna suddenly remembered something and ran back in a trot. When she turned back again, she held a book in her arms that was bigger than her fist. A thick prayer book.
She hadn't thought about how to deal with the part that was stained by her saliva before, and she was afraid that the chief priest would suddenly come back and see it, so she decided to take it with her and think of a solution on the way.
Gavin, who had evil intentions, did not stop her when he saw this situation. He had no intention of letting her come back anyway.
Anna's equestrian skills are also surprisingly skillful. Even when walking at night in the mud where the spring snow has just melted, she can still keep up with Gavin's pace.
They had been gone for nearly three hours, and just when the innocent girl pastor was getting suspicious, she wondered whether she had been deceived.
Gavin made a hissing gesture, stepped on the stirrups, straightened his legs, stood up, and looked like he was listening. After a few seconds, he sat back and said, "I didn't expect those bastards , they are quite courageous, and they dare to gather back. Fortunately, they are well prepared, otherwise they will really suffer a big loss. Wait a minute, follow me, and we will fight in. "
"Oh oh oh!" The young priest nodded repeatedly. There was no fear of the first battle on her face, only the eagerness of a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers. The small round shield and heavy mace were already in her hands.
What boy or girl is not full of yearning for the adventurous life in the wild?
Anna no longer knows how many times she has conceived this scene in her mind, and now it is finally coming true.
Wow! Wow! Wow!
At this moment, Anna finally heard clearly. There was one after another barking in the distance, but this kind of barking was very permeable, a bit like the long-drawn cry of a baby, sharp and harsh, which is unique to those hyenas. sound.
When these scavengers appear, usually their masters, the gnolls, are not far away.
Gavin took the young priest on horseback and trotted all the way around a hill, but he didn’t see the figure he was supposed to see. Only the hay bushes on both sides, which were as tall as half a person, kept shaking, as if there was something there. Something is lurking in it.
Facing a small wooden house, the rickety figure was spinning around in circles, waving weapons from time to time. At the same time, he turned around and looked over. There was unconcealable malice in his blood-stained eyes.
Wow!
The tallest and strongest one looked up to the sky and let out a howl, as if he had blown a charge horn.
Those figures exuding malice all rushed towards the two riders. As the charging speed became faster, their bodies got lower and lower, and finally they used their hands and feet together, like giant hyenas. The hay bushes on both sides shook even more violently, and vicious figures rushed out first with their big mouths open. Some aimed at the throats of the war horses, some went straight to the knights on the horses, and some It was aimed at the horse's legs. It was obviously a group of wild beasts, but it showed superb cooperation.
“Charge!”
Gavin ignored them at all. After the run-up in front, their horses picked up their full speed. These animals were destined to lose everything.
Their real blocker is in front.
The strongest jackal rushed the fastest and was right in front of Gavin in the blink of an eye. The hyena's face was filled with natural malice, and Gavin seemed to be able to clearly smell the stench coming out of its body and mouth.
The jackal kicked the ground hard and jumped up. His crouched body was straightened, his knee-high arms stretched out, and the spear thrust out showed an astonishing attack range. An enemy whose horse is galloping will send his chest to its spear.
Explosion!
Gavin's blue eyes suddenly lit up, and an invisible energy burst out.
Mind blast.
The jackal in the attack seemed to have been pressed on the pause button and froze in the air for a moment, although it was only a few tenths of a second.
It was enough for Gavin. The lowered spear effortlessly penetrated his exposed throat.
Gavin just picked it up, and the powerful impact brought by his horse speed opened half of his neck.
Leaning his body slightly to the right, the spear that originally pierced his chest moved to his left side. He fished and pulled it with his left hand. When the original owner lost the strength to hold it, it was easily captured.
The spear drew a semicircle in the air, was thrown out by Gavin, and plunged into the chest of another jackal who had just taken off.
The spear swept across and hit the slender waist of the third jackal, completely deforming his posture. He lay on the ground, howling and screaming. Only his upper body struggled, and his lower body never moved again. It was obvious that his spine was severed.
The jumping tactics of the Jackals are very useful in dealing with infantry combat, especially against groups of militiamen or ordinary people. It will allow them to jump directly into the enemy's interior, create commotion, and then spread out. Bloody killings.
But against cavalry, this tactic is a bit like delivering food. When it is in the air, it is an excellent target.
Just one round.
Seven jackals, one dead, one wounded and one disabled.
The rest of them howled twice, not daring to continue their original jumping, and jumped directly past Gavin, letting him gallop away with Anna.
"Too... so... so handsome!" The young priest encountered this kind of battle for the first time, and her big eyes stared straight at it without blinking.
All the other party's movements are smooth and flowing, and there is an indescribable beauty in the cruelty.
This feeling made Anna feel a strong sense of guilt. How could a priest of a benevolent god have such evil thoughts?
Gavin had no intention of fighting back and crashed towards the cabin without slowing down at all.
