Chapter 936: Chapter 589: Only Children Make Choices_3
This was a choice of life or death.
Or perhaps, as the mercenary captain said, this was a deadly trap from the start.
âWhat⊠should I do?â
Layneâs mind was in turmoil.
He never expected the other party to make a move against him at this moment!
However, this was also something that could be anticipated.
After all, the City Lordâs youngest son had been coveting the position of the Broken Blade Knightsâ Captain for quite some time in secret.
And based on the current situation, the other party had clearly been plotting this all along.
âEven so, I will still stand by my faith â to protect the weak, even if itâs the last time in my life.â
Realizing this, Layneâs hesitating gaze became resolute once again.
Without any hesitation, he drew his bow and arrow, aiming directly at the Rock Horned Wolf King charging towards several mercenaries.
And behind him, another massive Rock-horned Wolf was already baring its sharp teeth, swinging its blood-red tongue, and rushing towards him with murderous intent.
As an Archer Knight, leaving his vulnerable back to the enemy was something Layne had never done before, but now, he had no other choice.
âEnergy Concentration Snipe!â
The next second, a magic arrow emitting a strong wave of energy suddenly shot out from Layneâs metallic heavy bow.
As it stirred up a gust of wind, it raced straight toward the Rock Horned Wolf King that was charging towards the innocent mercenaries.
âAwooâŠâ
Without any suspense, the Archer Knightâs full-strength arrow successfully struck the head of the Rock-horned Wolf King.
This time, the huge impact from the arrow shot directly into the back of the wolfâs eye socket.
As a result, the vicious Demon Beast, which had stained with countless human blood, was killed on the spot as it was thrown through the air.
Seeing this scene, Layne remained calm in his bow-holding stance, and behind him, the fangs of another Rock-horned Wolf King were already incredibly close!
However, at that moment, another sudden change occurred.
The fourth Rock Horned Wolf King suddenly rushed out from another side, attacking towards the mercenaries once again!
At this moment, Layne, who was about to be swallowed by the giant wolf behind him, clearly didnât have enough time to shoot another full-strength arrow that required charging.
And Bonnie and the other few awakened mercenaries, who had just relaxed their hearts a bit, turned ashen-faced once again.
âNo matter what choice you make, you canât escape your fate of death, hahaha!â
Wild laughter rang out.
Not far away, the smirks on the faces of Cliff and the Withered Old Man grew thicker.
Just like what the middle-aged mercenary captain said.
From the very beginning, they never intended for any of the people present to leave this forest alive.
âFairy tales are really deceitful after all⊠There could never really be a hero to save the weak, right? Weâve just dragged this brave knight into thisâŠâ
At this moment, Bonnie closed her eyes, her grip on her Magic Wand loosened, as she completely gave up hope.
Meanwhile, Layneâs face remained extremely calm.
At this moment, in his heart, he suddenly pictured another young man with a gentle smile like a spring breeze and an upright posture.
âIf that person was in charge here, such things wouldnât happen anymore, right? I really want to see that person one more time.â
Just as Layne closed his eyes and completely gave up on everything.
A faint voice suddenly entered the ears of everyone present: âMaking choices? Sorry, only kids make choices. I want it all.â
