"Hoo, hoo..." Honasan gasped for breath. In just a short while, he was hit by three rounds of shooting. Although he was not hurt thanks to his extraordinary physique and the armor on his body, his physical strength was consumed a lot. After all, he was getting older and his physical strength had been declining.

Looking at the figures slowly walking out of the woods below and slowly coming up in an orderly manner at the entrance of the hillside road, Honasan's eyes became solemn.

First use arrows to consume my own physical strength, and then take the opportunity to break through my defense in one go. This is really a good idea.

but……

My support has arrived.

Several footsteps were heard on the mountain road behind me.

Without looking back, Honasan's mouth corners slightly raised.

Two footsteps stopped behind him, but one footstep continued to approach him without stopping.

Honasan frowned and turned slightly sideways.

Paros's sturdy body crossed the path he had made, and stood in the middle of the road with a heavy axe in both hands.

"You take a rest first, I'll take care of it."

Honasan smiled helplessly and took a step back to stand side by side with guard Randy.

"What are the arrangements, Lady Natalia?"

Randy lowered his head slightly, his eyes fixed on the enemies lined up below.

"The others have already gone to the rear. Let's see if we can handle it here first."

Honasan nodded thoughtfully.

At this time, the team below moved. The two leading men held round shields and advanced side by side on the road. Two body lengths away from them, two men held spears and followed closely behind them.

Seeing this, the old hunter behind Honasan and Randy pulled out a bow and arrow that had been simply processed and was barely usable from the quiver, put it on the bowstring, fully stringed it, and bang!

After the bowstring made a crisp sound, the arrow instantly turned into an afterimage and shot out.

The two men in the front holding round shields raised their shields to block in front of them, but the arrows passed through them with a sharp sound and went straight into the neck of the robber holding a spear behind them.

"Uh..." The robber holding the spear dropped to the ground as he lost his grip. He knelt forward in confusion, covering his neck where an arrow had pierced it.

Another bandit nearby looked at him expressionlessly, squatted down to avoid him, and pushed his body to the steep rocky slope next to him to avoid blocking the road.

The robbers following behind quickly put away their weapons, quickly stepped forward to pick up the spears on the ground and joined in. The team kept moving forward.

Good shooting!

Although he was somewhat amazed at the old hunter's superb archery skills, Honasan quickly returned his attention to the bandits who were gradually approaching.

"Wahaha, ah!"

Seeing the bandits approaching, Paros roared with excitement and took a step forward, swinging the heavy axe in his hand taking advantage of his high position.

The two bandits at the front quickly raised their round shields in an attempt to block his attack, and the two bandits with spears behind him took the opportunity to stab out with their spears.

Although they had a good idea to block the attack with round shields and then attack Paros when he was attacked and stiffened, they seriously underestimated Paros' strength. How could they resist the strength of a man who could wield a two-handed heavy axe that was half a person's height?

Paros' heavy axe hit one of the round shields hard, crack!

The round shield was cut in half in an instant. The face of the robber holding the round shield changed drastically. Before he could react, he felt a huge force coming, and the axe blade split him and his body into two.

Blood splattered everywhere!

Paros killed the robber in front of him with an axe, looked at the two cold rays coming at him, and with both hands, he used the axe handle made of unknown material to press down the spear shaft from top to bottom. The huge force made the two men holding the spears not only unable to stab the burly man with the axe to death as they had intended, but also made them stagger forward under the pressure of this huge force.

One of them bumped into the back of the round shield robber in front of him who was about to draw a dagger from his waist with a panicked look on his face, and the three of them fell to the ground together.

Looking at them, Paros smiled grimly.

"ah!"

Paros exerted force with both hands, and the axe blade swept across the necks of the three men. Three frightened heads flew to the hillside nearby.

Honasan and Randy, who were about to provide support, stopped. Randy looked at the burly man in front of him with some surprise, but Honasan was not surprised. He knew from the records in the book that this so-called red-blooded alien was extremely powerful compared to normal people, almost comparable to some monsters. But he couldn't help but look at Paros in front of him a few more times. Although strength and physique came from blood, the skill of wielding an axe was acquired through training.

The old hunter had his arrow on the string, ready to shoot at any time. Seeing that Paros had dealt with the robber cleanly and neatly, he shot the arrow at the robber behind him, but the robber dodged and the arrow only hit his arm.

The robbers behind couldn't help but stop and look at each other.

Then, as if some orders were coming from behind, the bandits on the mountain road quickly retreated a little. Paros, Honasan and others looked at the bandits who raised their bows and arrows in front of the woods at the foot of the hillside and frowned deeply.

The same thing again?

"Retreat?"

Paros turned his head and looked at Honasan with a serious expression. The boiling blood in his body quickly cooled down. Although he was "reckless", he was not stupid. He would not stand there stupidly and become a target for others.

Honasan's face was also gloomy, but there was nothing he could do about the other party's behavior.

"The narrow road is in our favor. If we give up the terrain advantage here and retreat to the open space above, we will be completely surrounded, at least...

We have to wait until the retreat route is opened before we can evacuate."

Paros understood what he meant. If there was a blockade behind them and they retreated before the others could find a way out, the situation would be different. The worst case scenario would be that a group of them would be surrounded on the mountain road in the north.

"But we can retreat a little bit, so that the arrows from the other side won't be able to hit us so easily."

Honasan said as he carefully looked at the surrounding terrain.

whoosh whoosh whoosh!

At this time, the first round of arrows had already arrived, and the old hunter retreated quickly. Unlike Honasan and Randy who had heavy armor and Paros who had a strong physique, at his age, if he was hit by one or two arrows, he might have to stay here.

Honasan and others retreated up the hillside while waving their weapons. Under the cover of night, this round of rain of arrows did not cause any damage.

The next few rounds of arrow rain basically fell in front of Honasan and others due to reasons such as strength. Only a few scattered arrows fell on their side and were easily blocked by them.

As if realizing that it was useless to continue like this, the bandits at the foot of the hill stopped.

Honasan and others also took this opportunity to rest, but they were a little confused as to why the others had not come and there was no news.

At this moment, Honasan suddenly felt an obvious fluctuation of extraordinary power coming from the other side of the hillside.
