Chapter 553 The Battle on the Yaruga River Bridge [Two in One](1/2)

The broken rope sank heavily into the water.

The next second, following the river, the ferry turned a few times and began to float downstream.

"Damn it! Those aren't Nilfgaardians, the eagle and the rhombus... that's the coat of arms of Rivia! They're the guerrillas of Rivia! The ones on the other side..."

"Get down!"

Before he finished speaking, the poet felt someone press hard on his shoulder, and his whole body was forced to

The arrows came through the air and were nailed to the side of the ship one after another, making several dull sounds. Several of the arrows were shot straight towards several people on the deck.

Fortunately, the demon hunter and Lu Qi had already drawn their swords and blocked the sharp arrows one by one.

The enemy on the other side of the river just launched a wave of attacks at the ferry and then stopped.

Because, the ferry is drifting towards the other shore under the pull of the current!

Seeing this, the boatman, who had already been lying on the deck, immediately shouted: "Adults! Get the pole quickly! We are going to be taken to the other side!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Qi made a quick decision and immediately assumed the responsibility of command, saying continuously:

"Regis, Dandelion, hold the horses! Geralt, Milva, let's help punt the boat!"

Driven by several poles, the ferry turned around and accelerated towards the middle of the river.

The soldiers on the river embankment began to shout again and raised their bows and arrows again.

Fortunately, with the rapid current, the ferry quickly moved away from the river bank and escaped the effective range of the bow and arrow.

I thought I could use the ferry to get away from these heavily armed soldiers. However, the Rivia guerrillas on the other side obviously did not intend to let them go. In other words, this was the only ferry that could allow them to escape from Nilfgaard territory.

Under the command of a white horse rider, the cavalry on the river embankment began to gallop along the opposite bank, trying to seize the ferry when it was carried to the river bank by the current!

At the same time, a group of people on the ferry still tried to push the ferry towards the river bank where it came from:

"Harder! We have to reach the shore before we are swept away by the rapids!"

It's easy to say, but difficult to do.

The current is fast and the river is quite deep, and the huge ferry is very heavy and difficult to find a fulcrum.

With great difficulty, the ferry suddenly changed!

The sharp-eyed Milva was the first to notice the black cavalry suddenly appearing on the right bank, and subconsciously cursed:

"Damn it!"

The black armor is paired with a green cloak, and the horse also has Nilfgaard's unique eyepatch. The identity of the visitor does not need to be elaborated.

"This time...it must be a Nilfgaardian!" the demon hunter murmured as he blinked his cat eyes.

At this moment, everyone on the ferry was already in a dilemma.

On the left bank are the Levian soldiers in Nilfgaardian territory; on the right bank are the Nilfgaardians in the conflict zone.

The girl-hunting team in the middle of the Yaruga River seemed to be involved in the whirlpool of war. A small boat was shaken by the wind and rain, and could only try to find a glimmer of hope between the two armies.

The more critical it was, the clearer Lu Qi's thinking became.

He was the first to react and shouted loudly:

"Keep on punting! Hurry up and stay away from the shore!"

This task is equally difficult.

The water flowing to the right bank became more turbulent, rushing the ferry straight to a cliff downstream. The shouts of the Nilfgaardian soldiers became clearer and clearer.

Standing on the flat river bank covered with reeds, the Nilfgaardians raised their bows and arrows.

Whoosh!

Arrows roared from the sky.

The target is a group of people on the ferry.

"Get down!"

Before he finished speaking, Lu Qi did not lie down like others, but stood up straight, with sharp eyes, and raised his empty left hand.

Just when the rain of arrows was about to fall, Lu Qi's magic power had already gathered in one place.

"drink!"

Accompanied by a low shout, a tangible shock wave of air shot out from bottom to top, meeting sharp arrows made of black iron!

With this blow, Lu Qi deflected most of the arrows aimed at the ferry.

However, there is a gap in every hundred secrets.

The boatman's helper standing on the right deck suddenly let out a strange cough, and then threw the pole in his hand into the river.

The poet standing aside only saw a blood-stained arrow and a long arrow shaft piercing his back.

In addition, the gray horse Milva was riding on was shot through the neck by an arrow, broke away from the poet's control, neighed in pain, knocked away other horses around him, and jumped off the ship.

Looking at the fallen poet and the restless horses, Regis quickly shouted:

"Dandelion, get up quickly and hold the horse! Hold..."

The words stopped abruptly, and the vampire's body suddenly fell to the side of the ship, and he sat down on the deck with a "bang" sound.

Milva, who followed the sound, saw a black-feathered arrow piercing deeply into his chest. His eyes suddenly froze, he screamed angrily, and he suddenly looked towards the shore.

I saw a Nilfgaardian officer wearing a black cloak and a helmet decorated with raven wings, riding on horseback with his bow and arrow ready.

After confirming the target, she directly picked up the longbow, knelt on one knee on the deck, and poured out all the arrows in the quiver.

He opened his bow and nocked an arrow at a high speed. When the arrow disappeared, the Nilfgaardian officer on the river bank fell off his horse.

After killing the murderer of Regis, the angry Milva seemed not to be relieved, and suddenly transformed into a human-shaped archery machine. The arrows at her fingertips shot out one after another, and the arrows were not missed!

Under the suppression of Milva's archery, the Nilfgaardians on the right bank fell into chaos and retreated into the forest.

"Amazing archery skills!"

Regis stood behind the witcher and said calmly: "But I still hope you pick up the pole. We are still too close to the shore."

The witcher and the female archer turned around quickly and said in unison:

"You're not dead?!"

Lu Qi, who was standing on the bow of the ship, seemed to have anticipated the scene of Regis' "resurrection from the dead".

After all, in his opinion, vampires are not called vampires if they die so easily...

"Do you think," the vampire showed them the black-feathered arrow, "that such a broken piece of wood can hurt me?"

After lifting the poet up, Regis controlled the horses with him.

With the joint efforts of everyone, the ferry finally sailed towards more turbulent waters...

"Very good," Milva, who had just exploded, said breathlessly: "They can't catch us now..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Qi quickly said:

"Just stay still for a while. Don't forget that there is a little one in your belly. You can't do any strenuous movements."

Although she could hear the concern in Lu Qi's words, the unruly female archer still retorted with an unhappy look:

"Tch! If I hadn't shot them back, you would have been shot into a fucking hornet's nest!"

"Okay, just don't do this next time."

After observing the direction of the river, Lu Qi frowned and continued:

"Those Nilfgaardians would not give up. Milva shot their officer to death. And the river is tortuous, and the water will take us to them at the next bend. They know this very well, so they will definitely

Wait for us there..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the boatman, who had been hiding well, stood up, pushed his already dead helper into the river, and kept mumbling:

"There is one more thing we need to worry about. The current will send us to the left bank first... Gods above, we are being attacked from both sides... It's all because of you! If it weren't for you..."

The poet was timid in front of the Nilfgaardians, but in front of the boatman, he punched hard and scolded directly:

"Shut up, if you don't want to die, just paddle the boat!"

...

Soon, the boatman’s words became reality:

As the ferry continues to go down the current, the flat left bank is getting closer and closer.

The shore was crowded with cavalry, and many soldiers were shouting loudly and waving their arms. Among them, a rider on a white horse was surrounded by soldiers.

Although it was a bit far away, Lu Qi still saw a blond woman wearing armor and no helmet on the white horse.

"It's Queen Meve and her Rivia guerrillas..."

The closer they got to the shore, the louder the shouts became, and they also heard the clear sound of gold and iron clashing.

"There's a war going on over there. There are imperial troops in the forest, attacking the northern army. They're trapped."

"The way to escape from the predicament is this ferry." The demon hunter spat on the river and continued: "I think they are planning to at least save the queen and the officers and let them take the ferry to the other side. However, the boat
To be continued...
