The leaves of the trees in the forest that are supposed to shed their leaves in winter have already turned yellow, and they are just waiting to shed their leaves and grow again next year.
Some trees, however, have evergreen leaves and look vigorous even now.
This forest has no name. Many races, including monsters and wild beasts, live in it. To the south is the endless ocean.
The Kingdom of Prussia established a kingdom in the north of this forest and launched seven wars to expand southwards. Many forests were cut down and many races were wiped out, but this forest still stubbornly exists.
The land in the forest was very wet and covered with dead branches and rotten leaves, making it very muddy and difficult to walk. Except for hunters, ordinary civilians would not come to such a place.
“Woof woof woof!!!”
Suddenly, the sound of dogs barking could be heard in the quiet forest. Soon, a black wild boar rushed out, grunting and screaming, and ran towards the north.
This black wild boar is a boar, very large, weighing at least 200 to 300 kilograms. It is the king among wild beasts, and even a tiger would not dare to attack it easily, but now it is being chased and fleeing.
“Woof woof woof!”
The sound of dogs barking followed closely, and then three black hounds quickly chased in the direction of the wild boar. These three hounds had thick and long limbs, but slender bodies, and it was obvious at first glance that they were very good at running.
Behind the hounds, there were seven or eight people chasing. These people were wearing uniform leather armor, holding bows and arrows in their hands, and were dressed very smartly.
"Chase closely and don't lose it. Also, disperse and cooperate with each other to drive the wild boar to see Knight Luther." An elderly man gave orders, and the others cooperated in an orderly manner.
That's right.
These are the fifty guards who followed Luther this time, members of the five hounds. Their responsibility is to drive the prey to Luther and Miss Ruth and serve Knight Luther so that he can have fun.
This is aristocratic hunting.
Elegant and calm, there is absolutely no need to go into the forest and smell the rotten leaves.
There was a river not far away. There were no tall trees on both sides of the river, revealing two flat areas. Luther set up camp on the east bank of the river and lit a bonfire.
At this moment, Luther, Ruth, Xiuxua, and the Knight Xiuxu were sitting around the campfire. Xiuxua also took out some seasonings and prepared to cook the prey on the spot.
As Luther's personal knight, Xuxua possesses a variety of skills acquired through strict education. Being proficient in combat is only the basics. He also knows how to identify roads in the forest, recognize edible food, healing medicines, and many other skills.
This includes cooking.
"Here they come." They were all junior knights, and Luther and the other two heard the noise almost at the same time. Xiu Xiuya and the revised knight did not move.
Luther then took Miss Ruth with him and walked towards the warhorse. Luther first helped Miss Ruth onto the horse, then she mounted the horse easily, Luther rode in front and Miss Ruth followed behind.
Miss Ruth held a bow in her hand, with a quiver on the right side of the saddle. She lowered her head and rode her horse skillfully through the forest.
The superiority of the nobility is shown here. Miss Ruth, who looks weak, is actually skilled in archery and horse riding.
But it was useless on the battlefield, so she could only participate in this kind of aristocratic hunting, and her accuracy was not good.
The two men galloped on their horses for a while, and soon a black wild boar jumped out from the front. Luder stopped his horse because he had known it.
The movements of the wild boar could not be hidden from his ears.
Miss Ruth was a little panicked, but she quickly calmed down, took a deep breath, pulled out the arrow from the quiver, and drew the bow.
He completed this action in an instant, and then his eyes like an eagle instantly locked onto the big black pig in front of him.
"Swoosh!" With a whistling sound, the sharp black arrow shot straight at the big black pig, and then nothing happened. The big black pig did not move at all, but just rushed straight forward, and the black arrow landed half a meter away from the big black pig.
I couldn't even wipe it.
Is this not accurate? It's not accurate at all.
Luther complained in his heart.
Miss Ruth also felt embarrassed and her delicate face blushed, but she was strong-willed and did not show any frustration. Instead, she drew the arrow again and shot at the big black pig.
At this moment, the big black pig was coming towards them, but it was not rushing straight towards Miss Ruth, so Miss Ruth was still relatively calm.
With a "whoosh", the arrow missed again. This time it was even more outrageous, as it was about two meters away from the big black pig's butt.
Luther's mouth twitched, and he decided to give up. If he let Miss Ruth continue to do this, he would not be able to eat meat later.
Luther concentrated and calmed his mind, his back straight, he drew out the arrow in an instant, pulled the bow to its full length, stared at the direction the big black pig was fleeing, and after a moment, shot the arrow.
With a "swoosh!", this arrow flew very fast, making a louder whistling sound in the air than Miss Ruth's arrow just now, and went straight towards the big black pig.
The big black pig seemed to sense the danger and instinctively wanted to dodge, but the black arrow pierced through the big black pig's head as if it were made of paper.
The hard pig skull was of no use at all and was pierced by the arrow.
The big black pig fell to the ground with a loud bang, struggled for a moment, and then became silent.
This kind of thing would be impossible for ordinary hunters, because wild boars have thick skin and flesh, and it is difficult for ordinary people to break through the wild boar's armor and shoot it.
But for a knight, it is easy.
Of course, Miss Ruth couldn't kill the wild boar unless she hit its eyes directly.
Luther didn't seem very happy after shooting the big black pig, he just thought he would have meat to eat later. Miss Ruth wasn't depressed either, because this was all normal.
“Woof woof woof!”
Accompanied by a burst of barking, three hounds and guards appeared.
"Knight Luther." The group hurriedly saluted Luther.
"Keep driving the prey. Forget the big black pig. Drive some hares and other small prey over here." Luther waved his hand and said.
"Yes." The group responded quickly and turned around to get back to work.
Being aristocrat is great.
Hunting can be played like this.
Afterwards, the guards and hunting dogs drove some prey over. This time they were indeed some hares or other small animals, most of which were shot and killed by Luther.
Miss Ruth also tried her hand at meat, and shot a panicked hare.
It must have been a mistake.
Quite funny.
But Miss Ruth was very happy. She grabbed the hare she had shot and said she would roast it for Luther later. Miss Ruth also knew how to cook.
Time passed quickly and it got dark.
This is normal. This type of hunting usually lasts at least two days. After all, the journey and the guards driving the prey take time.
The evening meal was simple, all grilled meats of various kinds.
It would be hard for ordinary people to swallow meat alone, but the knights, including Luther, ate it with gusto because they needed to replenish their energy.
And every bite of meat you swallow will be digested quickly.
The knight's stomach is also excellent.
After eating and drinking, Luther invited Miss Ruth into his tent. He lit candles in the tent, took out a bottle of red wine, and drank with Miss Ruth.
We don’t plan to do any activities that are inappropriate for children at night, after all, there are so many people around.
Luther is also thin-skinned.
But when Luther finished drinking, something happened.
"roar!!!"
With a loud roar, a powerful aura was approaching rapidly.
World of Warcraft, Luther encountered a real World of Warcraft.
