Chapter 343: One person can’t stand alone

Under the threat of death, the townspeople mustered up some courage and tried to run towards Baron Qinar's manor.

Baron Qinar stayed behind to cover their retreat.

Good news, he is a ranger professional, with good long-range attack ability.

The monsters attracted are generally between level 0 and level 1, and there is almost no long-range attack method.

As long as the shot is accurate enough, one arrow can kill one in a second.

Bad news, there are too many monsters!

To complete a shooting, from pulling out the feather arrow, nocking the arrow, adjusting the direction, aiming at the target, and finally shooting.

Baron Qinar has enough skilled muscle memory, but it normally takes nearly 10 seconds to complete a full round of operations.

Although he had consumed the corresponding divine materials before setting off, and dripped the dew condensed on the thorn grass into his eyes, he stimulated the hit bonus of [Precise Shooting].

But that can only increase his shooting speed to a certain extent. It only provides an aiming intuition with the assistance of the wilderness divine arts, making it easier for him to accurately hit the target without deliberately making careful aiming.

The time required for aiming can be reduced by 2 or 3 seconds.

To further increase the shooting speed, it is necessary to use divine magic to bless arrows, bows and arrows or projectiles and muskets.

It was urgent.

Baron Qinar had no time to do those things.

To cover all these ordinary people entering the manor for refuge, Baron Qinar had to stay at the entrance and stop all the monsters that were attracted.

Otherwise, if the gate of the manor was breached, everyone hiding inside would be in trouble.

Facing the impact of a large number of monsters.

First, shoot as accurately as possible and hit the vital points to complete the elimination;

At a closer distance, start to reduce the accuracy and speed up the shooting.

Anyway, there are enough enemies, and one arrow will hit something with a high probability. If it is not an instant kill, it will cause considerable damage.

After the arrows were shot, there were still dozens of monsters left, and Baron Qinar had to grit his teeth and start close combat!

"Come on! Come on! Beasts, bastards, monsters, deformities! Let's see who can hold out to the end!"

He pulled out the short knife stuck in the outside of his thigh with his right hand, and took out two fist-sized rope balls from the trap bag on his waist with his left hand.

He had blessed these two rope balls with the magic of [Rope Net Trap] in advance.

As long as they are thrown from his hand, they will automatically open at the landing position to form a trap area.

The enemy who steps into it will be affected by a certain binding effect.

Until the magic effect dissipates or the trap is destroyed.

Ranger professionals do have a certain close combat ability, but that is more inclined to emergency.

There are too many monsters.

Baron Qinar has no room to pull.

Behind him is the gate of the manor.

Can't take a step back.

Fighting bloody, soon because of a careless dodge, his left leg was torn by the monster, and several bloody wounds appeared on the calf without leather armor protection.

The leg was injured and the lower body was unstable.

His upper body also swayed slightly, and there was a flaw in his defense. The leather armor used to protect his right shoulder was torn, and then a piece of flesh was torn off alive.

"Hiss!"

Baron Qinar gasped in pain.

When he was an adventurer before, and when the monster Red Tide was recruited to defend the border, the position of the ranger was basically in the relatively safe middle and rear, and there were few times when he had to fight monsters in close combat.

This time he was forced to confront head-on, and although he finally intercepted all the monsters attracted outside the manor, he also suffered a great loss!

The injury was not light!

He limped back to the manor.

Seeing the injury on Baron Qinar's body, his wife screamed on the spot.

"How could this happen! Dear, hold on, I'll get you some bandages and herbs!"

He hurriedly called the servants in the manor, brought a few buckets of clean water, simply rinsed the wound, then applied the crushed hemostatic herbs, and finally wrapped it tightly with a silk bandage.

During the whole process, Baron Qinar grimaced in pain, but he could only try to restrain himself and endure it.

There are no priests or potion shops in Qim Town.

If you are injured or sick, you can rely on your physical strength for minor injuries;

If you are seriously injured, you have to find a way to go to Ceylon City and pay for the treatment of the Radiant Priest.

If you don't have money, then there is nothing you can do.

If you are lucky, you can just lie down and get through it, but if you are unlucky, you will just lie down.

In this situation, it is already very good to have some emergency treatment, and there is no condition for more.

What's worse is that he is probably the only professional in the whole Qim Town.

Other townspeople are still waiting for his help.

Although he can close the door, the ordinary people he rescued now are also in line with the rescue duties of the baron nobles.

If the number is up to standard, they will not be liquidated or punished afterwards.

But Baron Qinar was unwilling to stop there.

He knew how vulnerable ordinary people were in front of monsters.

If he gave up, there would probably be few survivors left in Qim Town.

Baron Qinar wanted to save more people.

The early stage of the monsters' roaming was the most precious time. Saving one more person meant saving one less.

But his own strength was really limited.

Looking back at the ordinary people hiding in the manor, who were trembling, kneeling on the ground and praying devoutly to the gods of various faiths, or simply hugging each other and crying bitterly, Baron Qinar inexplicably felt a sense of powerlessness.

At this time, it would be great if there were a few warriors wearing protective gear and holding shields to stand in front.

He is a ranger, not a warrior. He is good at reconnaissance, trap setting, taming wild beasts and long-range shooting.

The short-range street fighting environment of a small town is too disadvantageous for him.

He can't exert 50% of his strength.

It is very likely that the fight will turn into a situation of injury for injury like this time.

His physical strength is limited, and it takes time for the wound to heal.

The number of monsters is endless.

It's hard to stand alone!

...

The only thing that can make Baron Qinar feel a little relieved is that his two sons should not be in too much danger.

The eldest son's account is considered to be useless. The main thing is that he "follows in his father's business" and also went to the Dark Forest for adventure, claiming to open up territory.

But his strength has indeed been recognized by the baron. He has mastered magic such as [Self-Invisibility]. As long as he doesn't stubbornly refuse to obey, most dangers will not affect him.

Compared with his brother Pete, the youngest son Bacon seems to be much more obedient.

A few days ago, he said he would go to Ceylon City to spend some time with the descendants of Viscount Tostin.

Now it seems that Baron Qinar thinks that Bacon has hit the jackpot.

No matter what, Ceylon City has a powerful Countess, a small number of standing Crusaders, Radiant Priests and Crusaders who are determined to fight against monsters.

"The safety level there must be better than a small town of limited size like Chim Town!"

Two updates are here, and there will be 3 more later. It is expected to be released before 0:00.
