Chapter 043: "Big Eater" Followers
"Is something related to 'hunger' coming up so soon?"
Colin stood behind a tree, dealing with some javelins that occasionally flew towards him, and suddenly realized that the things he was encountering now were probably the result of the influence of "Token-13".
However, he didn't expect the impact to come so quickly.
A few minutes later, more than a hundred people stopped after throwing several rounds of javelins. Except for the noble woman who was tightly protected in the middle of the original carriage team, the other soldiers were injured to some extent, even if they did not die.
What’s more troublesome is that in this sudden attack, all the horses were turned into hedgehogs!
This makes it even more difficult for them to break through.
Seeing this scene, the attackers slowly approached, intending to reap the fruits of victory.
They were holding common weapons such as iron pickaxes and stone axes, which were not sophisticated, but there were many of them, and their eyes revealed an extremely greedy look.
"Hehehe, usually I can only eat some skinny pig legs, but today..."
"Fresh and delicious horse meat, a fresh and capable woman, hehe, a noble woman at that!"
"The nobles must be handed over to the 'Great Eaters'!"
"I understand , I understand. I'm really curious about what it tastes like to be a noble."
…
“Damn it!”
The old butler held the cross sword and looked around, trying to find a direction to break out.
But I found that there is no good location...
This group of people were obviously well prepared, with ambushes everywhere. Any rash action would likely lead to falling into the enemy's trap, but if they didn't take action, they would surely die once they were surrounded!
"No, no matter what, we must ensure Miss Helena's safety and not let her fall into the hands of these guys!"
"When the fight breaks out, you lead the young lady to break out, and I'll hold back the group of people behind you!"
"As long as we get to Black Rock City, everything will be fine!"
The old butler made a decision. He felt that the attack must have been premeditated. After all, the refugees could not be as disciplined as these people.
It is simply impossible for ordinary people to dare to attack a noble, even if the noble appears alone in the wilderness.
Apparently, some people might not want them back in the Kingdom…
But at this moment, one of the attackers seemed to have discovered something and pointed to a tree:
"Wait, look, that's the big, fragrant fat meat that just ran away!"
"It is indeed him. Great, he can't escape this time!"
Several acquaintances recognized Colin.
They had smelled an indescribable fragrance on Colin before and wanted to capture him before attacking the noble convoy, but unfortunately they were a step too slow.
Unexpectedly, we met each other again after a series of twists and turns!
And under his guidance, some of the mob also looked over, and then saliva began to secrete wildly in their mouths.
"He smells so good! What's going on?! Why does he smell so good?"
"A scent even sweeter than that of the noble woman..."
"It tastes the same as 'Big Eater'. No, it tastes even sweeter than 'Big Eater'..."
"I'm so hungry... I want to eat him..."
The refugees who surrounded him were in some confusion, staring at Colin with greed on their faces.
The changes here also attracted the attention of the carriage team. Although they could not understand what they meant, they all noticed Colin's abnormality.
They were all feeling bad after the last few rounds of Javelin investment, but this guy in front of them just stood there like nothing happened.
…
"Sir, although I don't know who you are, I beg you to cooperate with me at this time. Only in this way can we have a chance to escape the siege together."
Suddenly, a female voice came to his ears. Colin turned his head and saw the noble woman in the cloak facing him. However, because of the hood, he still couldn't see her specific appearance.
The only thing we can determine from the light blue hair strands hanging in the shadow of her hood is that she probably has unusual light blue hair.
As for what the other party said...
escape?
Colin pursed his lips, not caring at all. Whether it was killing or running away, he had at least nine ways to deal with the crisis at hand.
But what worried him was not this group of people, but whether there was something else hidden behind all this?
Colin had a deep understanding of the cunningness of the locals when he saw the human body stitched monster.
And he didn't appear here to be a hero and save the beauty.
At this moment, while Colin was hesitating, a new event emerged in his mind.
[Event 22: Capture at least ten followers of the Big Eater alive and ensure that their brains are not damaged.]
[Note: Capture as many of the Big Eater's followers as possible.]
…
When this task came up, Colin, who originally didn't know what to do, immediately had an idea. He turned around and shouted to the people in the carriage team:
"You can cooperate, but my request is that you help me capture these people alive if possible."
"Catch alive?"
Under the cloak, Helena had a strange expression on her face. She stared at the ordinary-looking figure, wondering if she had heard it wrong.
Sir, don't you understand the situation?
You don't have any magical fluctuations in your body, how dare you say such things?
"Hahaha, did you hear that? That big piece of fat meat actually said he wanted to capture us alive, hahaha..."
One of the Big Eater followers laughed out loud at this point.
After laughing, a ferocious look appeared on his face. He picked up a javelin and prepared to throw it at Colin.
"My Lord, times have changed."
Colin dodged the slowly flying javelin by leaning to the side, pulled out his revolver expressionlessly, and shot the opponent's knee.
With a bang, the man fell to the ground.
"What's going on?"
When the others saw this scene, they were stunned. They looked at their fallen companions, not knowing what had happened.
Before the group of people could react in a daze, Colin moved his arm, pointed his fingers at the knees of several people, and pulled the trigger continuously.
Bang, bang, bang——
Three more people fell one after another.
It was not until this moment that the group of people seemed to react and attacked Colin ferociously.
"Damn it! Get rid of the guy with the strange weapon first! He is alone, kill him!" A thug shouted angrily and wanted to launch an attack until he was shot in the knee.
Without any surprise, he was knocked down by a gun.
It is too difficult to fight against bullets with just flesh and blood.
But for every rioter who falls, there are still many more who charge forward fearlessly!
"Very good. You have more backbone than that human stitching monster."
Colin was relieved by this, then he took out the bullets from his pocket and loaded his revolver.
He pointed his gun at the rioters rushing towards him and pulled the trigger without hesitation, smashing their knees and knocking them down.
At the same time, the carriage convoy that had briefly formed an alliance also surrounded Helena's orders and stopped the charging crowd.
