Fairy tale: Little Red Riding Hood's wolf mentor
#45 - Heading to the forest
"These knights are truly relentless," Porro muttered, a hint of helplessness in his voice as he listened to the shouts behind him.
Although the three of them had mounted horses and gained a lead for a while, their riding skills were lacking, and the second wave of cavalry behind them was gradually catching up.
Killing a grand duke had incited the entire army of the Kingdom of Snow to riot!
Fortunately, the forest ahead was getting closer and closer.
What lay within the forest?
In any case, the eastern forest of the Kingdom of Snow was the most likely place to escape pursuit.
Porro gazed at the lush jungle, which seemed even larger than the forest he and Leike had initially lived in, and more importantly—it was an unknown forest.
Porro also recalled the information he had obtained from the witch hunter's intelligence scroll.
Snow White... seemed to be in this forest as well?
"Whoosh—whoosh—"
Just then, a series of piercing sounds rang out from behind!
What is that…
Porro looked up, his expression freezing!
The cavalry behind them, seeing that the pursued were about to enter the forest, no longer hesitated; they began to fire arrows!
"Damn it!"
The three rode side by side, and the army behind them, in addition to shooting arrows to hinder them, had vaguely begun to spread out in a wing formation!
Porro narrowed his eyes; all his plans had been executed to their fullest extent.
Judging from the current situation, the pursuers were extremely unwilling to let them enter the forest!
If only… they could reach the forest…
But just then, Hans, on the edge, suddenly cried out in alarm:
"Oh no! I can't control this horse!"
"What's wrong?"
Porro hurriedly looked over—
He saw that on the horse beneath Hans, an arrow had pierced its hide on its hindquarters!
A little blood oozed out as the horse moved!
At this moment, the frightened horse was no longer under Hans' control; it began to neigh and gallop in other directions!
"Do you know how to… how to control it, so it doesn't run around!?"
But on this point, Porro and Leike couldn't help much either.
They knew how to get on a horse and pull the reins, but they had no idea how to adjust the direction when the horse was frightened!
In a panic, Hans grabbed the arrow behind the horse—and pulled it out with force!
Horse blood spurted wildly!
The next moment, the warhorse's eyes widened instantly, it let out a painful neigh, but it galloped even faster!
The distance between it and Porro and Leike began to widen rapidly!
"Cough cough… never mind, I don't think it will listen to me!"
Hans was already in poor health, he was not good at horsemanship, and he had been jostled for a long time, and the half-dead expression finally returned to his face.
He pressed his body down, hugging the horse's neck tightly as if resigning himself to fate, and waved to Porro and Leike:
"Well, thank you both for helping me along the way, um… goodbye if fate allows!"
Porro was a little anxious, but in this situation, it was difficult for him to turn his horse around with his horsemanship, so he could only watch helplessly as Hans' figure veered to the side…
"But your horse—is running towards the cliff!"
Porro could only shout.
"Cliff?"
Hans raised his head and glanced, indeed it was a cliff, the recessed valley bottom was like an abyss, so deep that he couldn't even see the scene below!
"Oh… it really is a cliff, bad luck, falling down should… kill me?"
Although he thought so, Hans did not jump off the horse.
After all, jumping off a galloping horse would probably break his bones!
Behind him, the pursuing cavalry did not think so; they did not know Hans' horsemanship level, so they all showed excitement—
"Great, a guy is dizzy! He's running towards the cliff!"
"Catch him!"
"He's cornered!"
Immediately, a part of the mighty cavalry separated, wanting to force Hans to the edge of the cliff and capture him alive!
However, they soon discovered something was wrong.
"What's going on?!"
"Why isn't that guy slowing down?"
"Could it be that he wants to—commit suicide by jumping off the cliff?"
Then, the pursuing cavalry opened their mouths wide and watched as the warhorse ridden by Hans did not slow down at all, stepped into the air, and fell off the cliff!
"Ah?"
"This bandit… is so staunch?"
"Really… committed suicide?!"
The pursuers reined in their horses at the edge of the cliff and peered down.
The cliff was steep, almost vertical, and the height was daunting even to look at!
This person could not possibly survive!
They judged this way.
……
On the other side, Porro and Leike were still speeding towards the forest.
The arrows beside them were still whistling incessantly.
Fortunately, the direction in which the two were riding was the same as the direction from which the arrows were coming, which weakened the impact of the arrows a lot.
But even so, several arrows still hit Porro!
Fortunately, Porro was still wearing the soldier's chainmail, and these arrows did not cause any damage.
As for Leike…
Porro personally saw several arrows, when flying towards Leike, that red cloak actually seemed to have life, floating up and patting the middle of the arrows!
Although the strength was not great, it was enough to change the direction of the arrows and brush past!
Well, Porro was no longer surprised.
He just wanted to know how many strange magics were blessed on this red cloak.
Behind him, the leading cavalry commander, seeing that the distance between the two was getting closer and closer to the forest, was also a little anxious, he shouted loudly:
"Speed up, there are only two left, stop them—shoot arrows! Shoot arrows quickly!"
In an instant, the pressure of pursuit suddenly increased!
With a part of the soldiers having been led away by Hans, Porro and Leike even gradually sensed the vibration of the hooves behind them!
"Leike, we can't be surrounded, they should want to stop us before entering the forest, why not temporarily separate first, and find a way to reunite after entering the forest."
Porro gritted his teeth and said.
A trace of difficulty flowed in Leike's blue eyes, but it was quickly covered by firmness:
"Okay, Porro, be quick—I will be very lonely without you."
Porro showed a comforting smile:
"Of course, I promise!"
Then, the two pulled the reins with force, and under the still unskilled horsemanship, the two rides gradually separated.
The uninjured warhorses were still able to execute some instructions in this situation.
Because the target became two, it was difficult for the Kingdom of Snow's cavalry wing formation to form again, so they could only chase separately.
The cavalry's pursuit efficiency was quickly slowed down.
And this gave Porro and Leike some buffer time—
Entering the woodland, the trees on both sides gradually became dense.
The arrows flying in the sky were blocked by the canopy and could no longer pose a threat.
The two rushed into the forest from two directions, and behind them, the mighty cavalry also went deep into it!
The depth of entering the forest—was far from enough!
Porro had to continue galloping, the forest became more and more lush.
At a certain moment, he leaped down, and when he stood on the ground, the soldier's chainmail had fallen on the ground, in which, there was nothing.
A wolf shadow, re-emerged in the forest!
"We lost track here!"
Several chasing cavalry stopped their horses, their faces gloomy.
They looked ahead, the forest was shady, insects chirped and birds called, their expressions uncertain—
"Let's go, let's go back."
Several cavalry no longer pursued, they saw the half-section of broken bones buried in the soil, and remembered the previous rumors of the eastern forest.
"Under the pursuit of the national cavalry, not one was caught… hum, these bandits are really lucky!"
"Lucky? Entering this forest—is even seeking their own death!"
They turned their horses around and walked towards the light outside the forest.
As if in the forest… there was something they avoided!
