Chapter 1126: Making It Quick
"Rember, at will."
My breathless murmur was t with another deep thrum as Aethisia just let loose another arrow, filling
with a bit of pride as I saw yet another body drop to the ground a mont later; we only had so many targets left, so I needed to keep up with her, but that didn’t stop
from appreciating her skill.
A skill that I had helped nurture in her ever since she was old enough to string a bow and follow behind
without alerting the entire forest to our presence, and seeing it on display against prey that was far more dangerous than anything we had taken on before now brought a small smirk to my face.
Laying out another arrow and guiding it in front of the rapidly fleeing Catkin, I pulled back on the bowstring and held it for a mont before letting it go, listening to the sonorous voice of my weapon and finding another source of pride.
These bows Astra made for us were so damn good, the lightweight tal fra making them easy to carry while also giving them one hell of a draw weight, aning they also packed an even heavier punch.
The arrows too were crafted to such perfection that I couldn’t help but wonder what I was going to need to do to make sure my wife understood just how much I appreciated these things; gemstones wouldn’t be enough, and even though I would love to say that my cock was the greatest gift in the world that wasn’t entirely true either...
Part of my mind was wandering as I relied on years of muscle mory, instinct and precisely honed skills to lay another arrow on the string and take down a third rcenary, lowering the numbers of enemies even more.
They were all running for the safety of the cave, so I started with those that were closest to it and worked backwards, hoping to create a pile of corpses around the entrance of the cave that would help psychologically damage our enemies before we engaged them in lee combat.
With only around two dozen total rcenaries here, us having killed half of them already was beyond what I was expecting, and any additional bodies we put to the ground now would make what was coming all the easier.
I had no doubt in my mind that the two leaders were going to be adamant on taking us on with their fodder between us and them, using them as distractions to do hit and runs so that their own chances of survival increased.
That was why I was shooting as fast as I could, dropping another three and just barely putting a fourth on the ground with an arrow to the back of their thigh, while Aethisia just got two more dead and another injured.
With no more targets I kept an arrow on the string and just surveyed the now quiet town, taking it in and wondering if we should double back once more to hit them from the caves or if it was just ti to do a frontal attack...

Aethisia PoV
Breathing in and holding it for a few seconds, I focused on keeping the arrow where it was before gently removing it when Dama murmured "Alright, ti to get closer...
