Chapter 1104
"I know, but that is the only solution we have."
Nicole looked at Carl firmly.
"Okay, how about you separate and distract them, while I go after the alpha?" Carl suggested, not wanting want Nicole to risk it.
"Don't underestimate them when you begin leading them away," she warned.
"They are fast.Once they have given chase, you must climb up the nearest tree you can find.Otherwise, you'll just become their next snack."
"Okay.Just do as I've said.I'll countdown to three and you'll make a run for the grove."
Nicole picked her torch up and mounted Pinto, with Carl doing the same with his stallion.
"Are you ready?" Nicole shouted.
"yes!"
"Three, two, one.Go!"
Carl sped off to the grove, prompting several members of the pack to give chase and hunt him down.
As this was happening, Nicole made a beeline for the alpha, which proceeded to bare its teeth, ready to pounce.
The remaining wolves charged forth, prompting her to wave her torch at them to keep them at bay.
She repeated this until she was about ten yards away from the alpha, during which she unsheathed her dagger, and in a swift, stabbing motion, plunged her blade into the beast, killing it.
Seeing this, the rest of the pack howled and yelped as they dispersed.
With that done, she retrieved her dagger and galloped off to the grove that Carl vanished into.
Meanwhile, Carl was clinging onto a branch atop a tree, while his horse had fled in a panic.
With the alpha slain, and the pack scattered, it was now safe for him to make his descent.
"Carl, where are you?!" Nicole called out.
"I'm up here," Carl replied from above.
"The wolves are gone! You can come down!"
Nicole held her torch up, illuminating the trunk of the tree as Carl tossed his away and made his way down the tree "Have you dealt with the pack leader?"
"Yeah.Let's head over there.By the way, where's your horse?" Nicole asked upon realizing that his stallion was missing.
