The wizard starts by trimming the donkey's hooves

Ren was riding a big black horse on the winding road, with quite a few things hanging on both sides of the horse.

In addition to a striking large bow, there were two identical long objects wrapped in animal skins on the other side. Judging from the length and exposed handles, they seemed to be some kind of short weapons.

These two were the blood-colored daggers from the shadow assassin. Because the blood-colored light on the daggers was too eye-catching, Renn specially wrapped them with animal skins.

As for why he doesn’t carry the bow and dagger with him, that’s because Renn is already carrying two weapons: the pig’s head hammer and the shimmering giant sword. If he carries a bow and a dagger on his waist, he will look like a peacock. The screen is open!

It's really a bit nondescript.

Especially daggers. How can any serious knight fight with daggers?

Even knights who use daggers as secondary weapons are very rare.

But Ren was very impressed by the special effects of the bloody daggers of the Shadow Assassin. Naturally, he was reluctant to leave such a good weapon unused.

This is why he proposed to the Empire's South China Sea Fleet that if he did not have metal witchcraft, he hoped to obtain extraordinary combat skills such as daggers.

Suddenly, several high-pitched eagle calls came from above Ren's head!

It turned out that dozens of meters above his head in mid-air, there was a blue and purple bird of prey the size of a seagull, spreading its wings and flying up and down excitedly.

This was Renn's blood-feathered hippogryph chick. During this period, under the care of Veronica, a wizard apprentice specializing in bird transformation, the chick quickly grew up.

At this moment, the originally fluffy light yellow down on its body was gradually replaced by the blue-purple feathers found only in adult blood-feathered hippogryphs.

Of course, this process will continue for quite some time.

According to Veronica, larger raptors have longer and stronger feathers, and will spend more time moulting than smaller birds.

Walking in the wilderness of the Wolf Hills, Renn looked at the young birds flying freely in the sky, feeling envious and couldn't help but use the trainer's core skill 'Eye of the Beast'.

Since Ren's mental power has been greatly improved compared to before, when he activated his skill this time, although he was dozens of meters away from the blood-feathered hippogryph chick, he still managed to do it smoothly. The cast was successful.

The moment the skill was activated, Renn felt that he was like a radar station, and his mental power was like radar waves radiating around. Almost instantly, Renn's mind locked onto the blood-feathered hippogryph chick. s position.

With a thought in Ren's mind, the field of vision in front of him switched instantly!

All he could see was the blue sky and the vast land. When he lowered his head, he could see the rolling snow-capped hills.

The white snow on the top of the hills is still very thick, but in the valleys of the hills, there are already a few bright green colors. The white snow has melted into snow water and is slowly gathering into a small stream.

Stretching his sight into the distance, he saw a winding road in the middle of the hills leading into the distance, and in the far distance, like a gray line, the Meiste City Wall was clearly visible.

Looking far away, you can even see some of the shadowy buildings in the county.

Ren knew that this was because of the blood-feathered hippogryph's super eyesight. At this moment, he had just left Fishing Port Town less than half an hour ago and was still half a day away from the county town.

He controlled the baby bird to turn around and looked towards the road he came from. Not far away, he saw residential buildings in the fishing port town scattered in a circular shape.

Since the distance was not far, Renn could even clearly see the faces of the residents walking on the streets of Fishing Port Town.

Looking into the distance, an endless blue sea comes into view, with dozens of scattered yellow-green islands of different sizes scattered in it.

"Sure enough, I have a raptor as a pet. Not to mention anything else, the view from the sky is really amazing!"

"It's like controlling an attack drone from a previous life."

"Hey, this is it?"

When Ren turned the direction of the blood-feathered hippogryph chick again and faced the county city, he discovered that a battle was taking place not far below the chick.

I didn't notice it just now because of the darkness under the light.

With the help of the baby bird's extraordinary eyesight, he looked carefully and saw that several carriages carrying goods on the road were being besieged by bandits a few kilometers in front of where Ren was currently.

More than a dozen guards were fighting fiercely with the bandits.

One of the men behind the bandits was wearing a black robe, which immediately caught Ren's attention. Black flames appeared in his hands from time to time.

"This is Black Flame Monk!"

More importantly, Ren discovered that the besieged carriage had an obvious emblem of the Crowley family. A short man among the guards was an old acquaintance of his. It turned out that Matteo, the captain of the Night Watch of Goldsmith Town, .

Because the black flame monks were holding the line behind the bandits and would throw a black flame fireball from time to time. Once it hit, it would make one of the guards lose their combat effectiveness. Therefore, the convoy guards were already in danger at this time.

He estimated the distance and found that the other party was on a winding hilly mountain road. It was too late to run directly to the rescue now.

It seems that the only way to rescue them in time is through bows and arrows.

In addition, it is obvious that a direct shot is impossible, because it requires passing through two undulating jungles to hit the enemy.

Let’s not talk about whether it can be shot, but the obstruction of trees and the undulations of the hills make it impossible for Ren to shoot through it with arrows.

If you want to rescue the opponent, obviously you can only use projectile method.

However, relying on the vision of the young blood-feathered hippogryph in the sky, although Ren could see the opponent clearly, he estimated the straight-line distance and found that the opponent was about 1.2 kilometers away.

As for bows and arrows, the elite night watchmen's direct fire damage is similar to that of the English longbowmen in Wren's previous life. They can shoot through chain mail within 60 meters, and the effective killing distance of the projectile is about 150 to 200 meters.

Although this is the limit of ordinary people, it is not the limit of extraordinary people.

As early as when Ren was a peak knight, he could shoot directly for about 200 meters, still causing powerful damage that could penetrate the knight's plate armor, and the projectile could reach 700 to 800 meters. Of course, it was made of iron. In the case of arrows.

Because wooden arrows are greatly affected by air resistance, no matter how high the initial speed is, the power will not increase after reaching a critical distance.

Now that Renn has become a great knight, this effective killing distance will naturally further increase!

However, what limited Ren's power at this moment was the bow in his hand.

Even though the bow he used was a big bow from Phil, the 'Bloody Archer', the bow could only be thrown for about a kilometer when it was fully drawn. After all, Phil was a senior knight at the time and was not strong enough to use a stronger bow. .

In addition, if ejection is used, the power of the arrows will continue to be reduced due to air resistance. Fortunately, his two bags of arrows now contain pure steel arrows.

The weight is seven to eight times that of ordinary arrows. Relatively speaking, the impact of air resistance is not as great as that of wooden arrows.
