At my words, all the people above the trees instantly aim their bows and pulled out arrows to shoot.
The huntress sensing my intention slowly pulled up her bow while bringing out an arrow and strung it, "Do you intend to push this matter even further?"
"Hmph!" I smirk, "We are on an important mission and no matter who tries to stop us, all will be t with the sa end!"
At that, not only Keira and Lucian pulled out their weapons but the three thousand soldiers riding behind aid their bows at the trees.
All parties, ready for a fight.
...
The young huntress looked around her and calculated quickly. Even though the soldiers had blindly aid at the trees, the sheer number of those arrows would definitely kill more of her people than those her people would kill.
And that was just the insignificant soldiers, the man in front of her with the humongous sword was even more dangerous.
The young huntress’s eyes narrowed as all her instincts tells her to avoid him. She had never felt such danger before and those that ca close to such were nothing short of dangerous monsters she narrowly escaped from.
The bow in her hand was steady and ready to shoot just like all her people were. With just one action, she could maybe have a chance to hit a vital point of the monster... but sothing told her that was a faraway illusion.
The huntress sighed as she slowly put down her bow. Aiming to settle this matter without any violence.
"Alright, you can take the forest and ride through it... but-"
...
I listen attentively, "But... I will take you there personally under my people’s vision and if I see you doing anything remotely suspicious, we will attack."
"It won’t matter if you have the upper hand, you will not get out of it without difficulty."
I smile at her change of attitude, "Alright, not like you were going to let us pass without security anyway."
I put away my sword away and Keira, Lucian and the soldiers also put away their weapons.
The soldiers feeling satisfied at the situation.
My words didn’t change her strong expression and she walked forward.
Jacob smiled and moved ahead to create space, "Miss, you can sit behind . That guy won’t say anything to you with here." The idiot patted his chest.
Yet like every girl that heard his words, this one too ignored him.
The huntress ca beside Reverence and without saying anything, climbed up on her own accord. Sitting behind , while supporting herself.
"Let’s go." She said.
"You can grab for support if you want to."
"Do you want to kill you!" Her voice was cold and it ca out honestly.
"Well, don’t bla later." I tell her as I kick Reverence’s stomach and he reared up at that.
The young huntress, shocked at the movent, grabbed my waist for support.
I look at her hand and smile, "Man, you forest woman really are quite forward."
"You!" The girl felt angry and was about to take off her hand when Reverence starting running.
The huntress having no choice, kept on hugging my waist as I felt her body rely on . But the sad thing was that, because of my armor, I couldn’t feel those huge boobs press on .
Reverence ran freely ahead as I saw her people on the trees follow us closely.
"Your n are good. They can follow us at our current speed from the trees." I tell her as I feel a prideful smile co to her.
"Of course they are, We of the Wodonic Tribe have been living at this forest for very long. We can freely do anything we want in here." She said.
"So you’re from the Wodonic Tribe." The na brought so mories, "No wonder your behavior felt sowhat similar."
"You... did you just trick into telling my tribe’s na?" She angrily asked.
"What trick lady? You’re the one who said it." I tell the girl.
The Huntress coughed at her own slip and her eyes turned curious, "What do you an by similar? Have you t one of my people before?"
"No, no... it just felt similar to the things written about you guys."
"Really?" She narrowed her eyes suspiciously, "Or have you fought one of my people and are lying about it?"
The huntress made her grip strong and threatened, "Because if it’s the latter, it won’t end well for you!"
"With how it’s going, I might want it go further."
The Huntress felt confused before she understood what I ant and cursed, "You pervert!"
"Since we’re already so well acquainted, might as well tell your na." I say.
"You don’t deserve to know it."
"Co onnn, tell . How about this, mine’s Henry, now tell yours. It’s common courtesy."
"Your courtesy could go take a shit!" Her words were quite rough.
What a vulgar woman... I like her.
I laugh at that, "Damn, I like it when a woman speaks her mind. Hey, do you have a boyfriend or sothing?"
"A boyfriend?" The Huntress narrowed her eyes, "I don’t know what you’re talking about, but I feel as if your intentions are not pure."
"It rarely is."
The huntress clicked her tongue at that. Then she pointed ahead, "Take a left, there’s a trap ahead!"
"As you say, ma’am." I smile and call out, "Follow everyone and beware, traps ahead!"
"Yes, Sir!"
As per directions, I move left and my company followed left as well. Just like that, an hour goes by as the Huntress who doesn’t tell her na, directs where to go and I listen attentively.
In reality, I didn’t really need her instruction as my eyes already saw far ahead. All the traps in the forest was laid bare to and I can easily avoid them. But still, I listened to her, not because I wanted to spend ti with her... though I wanted too, but because my history tells I was very bad at direction.
"Stop!"
The Huntress call out sharply and we stop our approach.
She quickly dropped off Reverence and said to , "This place is enough, you can go ahead from here and would et the bandits that you’re looking for."
"Well, well, little huntress, I didn’t say anything about bandits and you already guessed it. Seems like you already know more than you let on."
"Didn’t you say you were in a hurry?" She said ignoring my previous words, "Stop chatting and move on."
"Talking with you feels so good that I don’t want to leave you so quickly." I say and my eyes wonder around the place.
’So this is how far her tribe has eyes on.’ I guess, ’Back then when she directed us, my eyes didn’t spot a living soul kiloters around which ant she took us far away from her village.’
’But still... I did see a strange thing once, which makes think-’
"Lord Tax... shouldn’t we be going?" I hear Keira ask and break out of my thoughts to see the Huntress looking at suspiciously.
I smile and try to tip my hat when I rember I don’t have any, "Well then, Little huntress with no na, let’s hope we et each other again."
"I’d rather not."
"Haha... oh, sothing tells we will." I wave to her, "Ta Ta!"
With that, we leave ahead as the Huntress stayed at that spot and watched us leave.
...
’That man... did her figure sothing?’
A man suddenly dropped beside the girl and whispered, "My lady, the chief is calling for you."
The Huntress looked at Henry’s back once more before she jumped up and vanished quickly.
