Chapter 185: Wolf Pack 2

Translator: Cinder Translations

...

The pursuer leader grabbed a wolf by the neck with such force that the wolf's eyes rolled back almost immediately.

However, it wasn't just one wolf. Another wolf that had pounced on him quickly sunk its teeth into his throat.

Then several more wolves leaped out from the woods, tackling the pursuer leader, tearing and biting into him relentlessly.

"Argh... all of you... go to hell!"

The pursuer leader despaired, cursing with his dying breath, though he didn't know who he was cursing at.

He relaxed his muscles completely, allowing the pack of wolves to tear into his body, quickly ending his life.

"Elder sister, get into the carriage!"

Seeing this scene, Ladia immediately pulled the Grand Duchess Helen, who had gone limp and pale, into the carriage.

Inside the carriage, a girl who looked barely ten years old seemed to be "sleeping" on her seat.

The little girl was very cute, with features resembling Helen's, undoubtedly destined to be a great beauty when she grew up.

This was Fanny, the younger sister of Grand Duchess Helen.

Ladia firmly shut the carriage door.

The attack on the mercenary leader seemed to be a signal, as more and more wolves jumped out of the woods.

The pack of beasts first targeted the three horses, launching their attack with lightning speed.

The horses wildly kicked their hooves in self-defense, but they couldn't withstand the sharp teeth of the wolf pack. Eventually, they too fell to the ground, torn apart and devoured by the hungry wolves.

Ladia thought to herself, "I hope the three horses will satisfy these hungry wolves!"

But she was soon disappointed as more wolves emerged from the woods. Instead of fighting for the horses, they began circling the carriage.

Clearly, these newcomers' target was inside the carriage with them.

After circling several times, one wolf couldn't restrain itself any longer and leaped towards the carriage.

The carriage shook violently as the wolf lunged. The Grand Duchess screamed in terror.

Ladia pulled out a short crossbow and handed it to Helen, saying, "Elder sister, if a wolf breaks through the glass and jumps in, use this to stab it hard. Let's hope this carriage from the church is sturdy enough."

Trembling, Helen nodded.

As fate would have it, with a "crash," the window glass shattered, and a large wolf's head thrust inside.

Ladia took aim and precisely jabbed the short crossbow into the wolf's eye.

The wolf howled in agony, retreating and rolling on the ground beside the carriage in intense pain.

Seemingly deterred by their companion's plight, the wolves around the carriage temporarily ceased their attack, continuing to pace around the carriage.

Ladia muttered an incantation quietly, carefully calculating the area the carriage occupied and the distance between it and the wolf pack.

Finally, she softly uttered, "Ring of Flames!"

Soon, a strange light illuminated the ground around the carriage from its center, forming a ring with a diameter of about three meters, enveloping the carriage perfectly.
