Reborn as the Hero’s Daughter! Time to Become the Hero Once More! Chapter 419

After the Goblin attack, I lectured Marks group for a bit, but they seem to have fully learned the importance of vigilance so I went and let them return to their old position. After that, the journey continued without a hitch as we repelled attacks without ever getting ambushed.

As we passed the mountain area at the country border, we entered the grasslands, so the view beca even more unobstructed and the safety grew. On the way, there was the Randa river that used to be a perilous pass, but that was in the past. At present, there was a splendid bridge spanning over it, so we easily crossed it.

And now

Co on, good luck. Reid, Cortina!

Michelle, can you stop calling that na?

Michelle whipped the carriage horse to raise the speed. We were in the middle of escaping from the Stalk Dogs.

Stalk Dogs were quite nasty monsters that lied in wait in the grass and chased their prey with their nearly inexhaustible stamina until it was too tired and attacked. But their biggest trait was their numbers. They hunted in at least groups of ten, so they were often too much to handle with only a few Adventurers.

Weve seen through the enemys stealth this ti too, but they numbered thirty in number so we chose to escape from them, but they just kept persistently attacking us. Michelle didnt have thirty arrows on hand either, so we decided to flee, but I didnt expect them to keep chasing us to this point.

And the na she was yelling out now wasnt referring to but to the carriage horse.

Ad

Huh, I an its the na of a Six Hero, right? Isnt it a sign of good luck?

I an, the guy in question is dead, so its just a bad sign!

Id rather you dont use that na either.

Cortina and my protests made Michelle pout. However, Finia was surprisingly in support of it.

I-I think its a good na!

Nows not the ti to argue about that!

Clouds horse ran to the backline while saying that.

Normally, a single horseman like him excelled in speed the most, but he was stuck running in the back now because of the enemy pursuit. He was acting as a so-called rear guard. He was expertly swiping away the chasing Stalk Dogs with his greatshield while glaring at the back.

During this one-month journey, he had gotten quite used to horseback combat. However, there was no ti to stay impressed now. As Michelle was holding the reins, she couldnt shoot her bow, and her arrows wouldnt be enough, either. Naturally, there were reserves in the luggage carrier, but there was no ti to take them out now.

Cortina had a hard ti coming up with a plan with nothing but grasslands spreading around, so we could do nothing but run single heartedly.

Cortina, youre a Six Hero, so go and beat up those small fries already!

Its impossible with that number. Maxwell would be one thing, but I cant handle them. Michelle doesnt have enough arrows either, so we need to get away and reform sowhere.

Youre useless!

Whyyyy!?

Inside the luggage carrier, Cortina and Tricia were engaged in a big dispute. Still, the fact that Cortina looked composed was probably because she had a plan in mind in case they caught up with us.

But that would an wed be putting Temuru, an ordinary person, in danger. If possible, I wanted to deal with them while there was a distance between us.

I guess it cant be helped, huh?

We couldnt lose them like this. If we did, Cloud who was at the end would have to be sacrificed. As expected, escaping while sacrificing a comrade wasnt sothing wed do. I stood up from the coachmans seat and looked back over the carrier.

Michelle, I leave things here to you.

Wh-, Nicole! Dont tell you plan to jump off!?

Of course not. I dont wanna die.

While saying that, I leaped to the back.

I was outside the carriage now, so the grass under was moving at terrific speeds. If I fell down as is, Id definitely get seriously injured. But a horse suddenly appeared where I was falling. Naturally, it was Clouds.

Dwah! What are you doing, Nicole!

Let ride behind for a bit.

I landed behind him like a swooping bird, and saddled the horse as is. When I turned around, Stalk Dogs were right behind .

Rather, they were even attacking every now and then.

Wahh, there are really so many looking at it from here.

Moreover, they dont look tired at all. Itll really be bad at this rate.

Temurus carriage and the one Marks group was riding were running ahead of Michelle. They were safe as long as we kept these things here. The problem was how to deal with them. At present, we had no way of winning as long as this situation persisted.

Yah!

As I turned around, I flung a throwing knife. The knife landed true to its aim, cutting the leg of the Stalk Dog running at the forefront, making it fall down. Moreover, the Stalk Dogs at the back got tripped on the fallen one and tumbled alongside them.

After throwing knives over and over, I managed to take down ten of them. Both the carriage and the Stalk Dogs were moving at high speeds, so the fallen enemies would probably no longer be able to catch up with us.

Their numbers still look visually unchanged though.

Uhh, can you stop moving too much back there? Sothing soft and squishy is rubbing on every ti you do

Theres no ti for that crap!

I smacked the back of his head and continued attacking. In the next ten minutes, I managed to take down ten more.

My knives werent as lethal as Michelles arrows, but due to how useful they proved in the past, I constantly carried about ten on . If I tied them with threads, I could even collect them back.

From Cortinas perspective who sat inside the carriage, it probably looked like I was taking out and throwing daggers without an end. Unfortunately, I couldnt make a clear display of using threads when she was watching.

If I continued attacking the chasing enemies while clinging to Clouds back, their numbers would eventually run out. Especially when they were running at full speed and had no way to dodge my attacks.

I continued taking down the enemies without needing to do anything special. And when they had gone down to about ten, they finally stopped their pursuit. Our horses were already fuming from the mouth, so it could be said that we barely made it.

Okay, ti to make use of this ti! Michelle, get the arrows from the cargo. Cloud, Mark, Tony, John, form a wall and protect the carriage!

Our horse was also at its limit, so we couldnt keep running any longer. However, Stalk Dogs would eventually co back at this rate. Those monsters were famous for being persistent. Thats why Cortina commanded us to make use of this little ti and prepare for combat.

Ad

Line up the carriages as a defensive wall. Sir Temuru with the coachman and the horses head inside the wall. Michelle, you prepare to shoot from atop the carriage.

Okay!

Got it!

If sothing slips by, you handle it, Finia.

Understood!

They made the formation according to Cortinas instructions. Michelle climbed up on the carriage and grabbed spare arrows from the cargo. With this, there was no fear of running out of arrows.

Ill preemptively attack them with the max intensity Light spell to blind them, so make sure not to get caught up in it.

Cortina made a magic wall and announced her plan to blind them as she climbed up to where Michelle was. Shrewd she was, she even made pitfalls with Tunnel just in case.

As we finished our preparations, Stalk Dogs ca attacking once again. But now that we were fully ready to et them, we managed to easily repel them. Thus, with this as my first experience in the Holy Tree Kingdom of Forneus, we have finally arrived in its capital, Berith.
