Half Elf Ranger

Chapter 16 White Lies
"In the dark night, in the deserted seaside villages and seagulls, the only thing we can hear is the rough waves in the sea!"

——A narrative about the aftermath of the sahuagin looting
collapse!
The bowstring trembled slightly, which seemed inconspicuous in the chaotic night of the lower city.

But with the sound of a sharp arrow piercing through the air, it felt like death was approaching.

A look of horror flashed in the round eyes of a sahuagin warrior who was waving a trident in front of him.

puff!

Just as the sound of a sharp arrow piercing through flesh and blood dissipated, the sahuagin warrior's trident waving in mid-air immediately froze, his pale green throat stirred, but there was only a gurgling sound.

Immediately, in the blood hole pierced by the sharp arrow at the sahuagin warrior's throat, a large amount of bright red blood surged out, soaking through its light green skin, and leaving bloody scars on the ground along its smooth abdomen. trace.

bump!
Immediately afterwards, the sahuagin warrior fell to the ground, struggled a few times, and soon died.

In the dark night...

Footsteps, flames, cries, screams, laughter, the collision of various weapons and the sound of sharp weapons entering flesh!

They come together to form a human tragedy.

……

In the corner of the shadows, Thorne put away the compound longbow, held the long sword in his hand, and walked towards the dead sahuagin corpse just now.

He glanced at the male player warrior who was sitting on the ground crying, and then looked at the female player in the soldier's arms.

The female player's throat was pierced by the sahuagin's trident, and a large amount of blood soaked the thin clothes and the ground. Her abdomen no longer rose and fell, and she obviously had no life.

Thorn hesitated for a moment, but finally held back and didn't step forward to persuade him. He walked silently to the sahuagin corpse.

Pull out the arrow that just hit the murloc, shake off the blood on it, and reinsert it into the quiver behind him.

"If you want to survive, go to Anderina's bar, maybe you can get shelter there." Thorne said to the warrior player who was still sitting on the ground and crying.

After speaking, he stopped hesitating and continued to walk towards his destination. As the number of sahuagin gathered more and more, they were no longer satisfied with wandering around the streets, and had begun to invade various residential buildings in the lower city.

Commoners couldn't deal with this kind of ferocious murlocs. If adventurers below the extraordinary level couldn't kill them in one blow, it would be difficult to stop the sahuagin's bloody rage.

Therefore, if you want to completely expel the sahuagin, you must rely on the regular army of Winter City.

However, from the hobgoblin horns and the gnolls' excited howls that came from a distance, it can be judged that the Winter City army is also under heavy pressure.

Otherwise, they would not have given up the lower city and let the sahuagin invade.

Because of the limited amphibious characteristics of the sahuagin, these evil murlocs are destined to stay on land for at most 4 hours, otherwise they will suffocate to death.

I'm afraid this is the main reason why Cold Winter City abandoned the port. After all, the real threats to Cold Winter City are the ferocious Wolfman tribe, the greedy hobgoblin army, and the Balor, who is still destroying.

Thorn subconsciously glanced at the upper city, and the flames still reflected half of the sky. Could it be that the wizard tower really didn't care about the two Balor demons?
"Ah! I will fight with you!"

Thorne hadn't gone far when he heard an angry growl behind him.

In the dark night, the warrior player filled with hatred suddenly stood up, roared at the top of his voice, and raised the long sword in his hand. He lost his last trace of reason and rushed towards the three sahuagin that appeared not far away.

puff!

When the three sahuagin saw it, they froze for a moment, disdain appeared in their big eyeballs, and then they opened their big mouth full of sharp teeth, showing a cruel smile.

They raised the weapons in their hands and stabbed all of them in the warrior player's abdomen, feeling the pain in his abdomen, and the warrior player relied on the last sliver of consciousness.

He swung the long sword with all his strength, but the murloc easily dodged the mighty death blow.

bump!
One of the sahuagin kicked the seriously injured and dying warrior player to the ground, licked the blood on the trident, and then walked towards the stone house in the lower city.

"Another idiot!" Thorne cursed secretly, and then left quickly.

This kind of similar scene, since the players traveled here a year ago, he has seen too many, even more tragic scenes than this, and he is a little numb.

The pampered life in the real world makes most players unable to accept this cruel reality.

There are many players whose hearts will gradually become cold after the only hope of survival in this world is shattered. Perhaps they think that the relief of death is also a good choice.

So Thorn didn't stop him. When the warrior player was about to be killed by the sahuagin, out of sympathy, he had already saved the opponent's life in secret. As for whether he would die or live in the future, that was his own business. up.

In this way, Thorne, relying on his 18 points of stealth, carefully avoided the sahuagin that appeared from time to time along the way, and finally came to the blacksmith's shop of the shield dwarf Storm.

But when he hid in the corner and saw two sahuagin wandering out of the blacksmith shop, his heart sank.

From the blood stained on the sahuagin trident, Thorne could see that Broto was probably killed.

So Thorn tightened the weapon in his hand, slipped quietly to the side of the two sahuagin, and then suddenly appeared, the long sword in his hand flashed two cold lights at an extremely fast speed.

Immediately, two sahuagin who couldn't react in time had a bloodstain on their throats under the sharp blade, and they were all killed by Thorne.

Then Thorne quickly drilled into Broto's blacksmith shop.

Inside the blacksmith shop, the flame on the stove was still burning, exuding a warm light, bringing a little warmth to the weather that was about to usher in the cold winter.

Thorne frowned and looked at the messy room that had been tossed by the sahuagin, and then his gaze stayed on the corpse of a dwarf lying on the ground.

In the world of Toril, the dwarves are famous for their bravery and tenacity. They are masters of rock and iron, and they are inaction in the face of adversity. Stubbornness, roughness and strength are synonymous with them.

But at this time, the rough face of the dwarf Broto in front of Thorne was dead gray, and there was no desire for life in his silver-blue eyes, only two lines of tears swirled in his eyes.

Thorn squatted down and gently helped Broto up, looking at the blood that was still oozing out of his chest, and prepared to give first aid.

"No...it's a waste of effort." At this moment, Broto suddenly squeezed Thorne's hand, his eyes flickered, a forced smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he shook his head slightly.

"Old friend, do you have any last words?" Thorne felt the strength in Broto's hand and asked softly.

"I'm homesick, but unfortunately... I can't go back." Broto slightly raised his head and looked at the roof, his eyes filled with endless longing for a certain place.

"Don't worry! As long as you die in this world, your consciousness will soon be transmitted to the real world. Congratulations, you will be able to reunite with your family immediately." Thorn pondered for a while, and fixed his eyes on Broto and said firmly.

"Really? That's great. It's been a year, and the children should all run away." Broto's eyes lit up, and then they closed slowly. Hanging a satisfied smile.

"Oh...it's still a step late!" Thorne gently put down Broto's body, and sighed helplessly.

Broto was still a good friend in Winter City, and he planned to say goodbye before leaving, and take him to Anderina's bar by the way.

In this way, during the invasion of the sahuagin, relying on the ability of Andrina Dragon Vein Warlock and the troll, facing the sahuagin, as long as they are not besieged in a large area, it will not be so difficult to deal with.

After that, Thorne didn't dare to stay too long again, and rushed towards the sewer, so as to get out of the city as soon as possible.

Because the sahuagin on the bottom of the sea are still moving closer to the shore.

He can easily deal with a few alone, but if he encounters the siege of the sahuagin priestess and four-armed sahuagin, it will be difficult to escape.

In this lower city abandoned by the upper-class nobles and the army, they have nothing to count on and can only rely on themselves.
