Chapter 118: The Hunt (1)
"Boss, we didn’t find anyone around."
A subordinate of the boss came to whisper in his ears. This wasn’t a surprise as it was only protocol. However, from what those two men were saying, there should be someone or two after them.
’Either they are lying to delay the inevitable, or their target was not following them at all.’ The man thought with a frown. ’It could also mean the targets are good at hiding.’
Regardless of what it was, he wasn’t going to let his guard down, and the men before him were dying today.
"Boys!"
Archers took aim and spell casters got ready for the command to fire.
"You don’t have to do this!" George yelled, gritting his teeth in anger. "We may be outnumbered, but that does not mean we will go down quietly!"
"And I don’t expect you to." The man scoffed as he jumped back. "Let loose!"
At his command, the archers unleashed a rain of arrows at the three men while the spell casters hurled a flurry of spells at the three. It was overkill, but it was better than going easy on them to give them an opening.
"Fuck!"
The two men reacted swiftly, channelling their mana to conjure their defensive spells. Leslie wasn’t outdone either, however, he was much weaker than his companions.
