Hvisland: A VR Colony Sim Game

Chapter 195 - 195 – The Horsemen

I used the flight feature to check what threat was coming from the northeast. This time it didn't take me long to find it. And it made me hold my breath. There were about 30 of them, mostly on foot and 10 on horseback. All of them wore clothes that weren't too primitive, almost like what the members of Congraylham wore. However, this group prefers darker colors.

[Raiders from Junchyde nomad]

Some of them carried firearms. Shit.

I returned to my colonists, immediately providing the solution that I thought was the best in this situation.

"All of you, get out of here quickly! When things are safe, you can come back again!"

Yeah, since I can't really get them out of here, so I added that last word.

After saying anything else I thought was necessary, I pressed the play button.

"Did you feel it too?" Leva raised an eyebrow. "I feel like we should get out of here right now."

"I feel that way too." Gwen looked at me.

"About 30 raiders are coming," I answered the blonde haired woman.

She gulped.

My three female colonists came to the others. Without saying a word and only exchanging glances, they took their weapons and ran away from their house.

No time to collect supplies. I also left my colonist horse. Kat was already able to ride the animal, but that meant she would leave the others behind. I think more people should fight in this group.

"Ugh, why are we running? Wouldn't it be better if we fought whatever comes our way!?" Miro grumbled.

"I thought so too," Levi replied. "But, I was thinking maybe the upcoming enemy was too big or too strong."

They kept running, with Eric leading the way because he had a higher running speed.

And the sound of galloping horses began to approach them.

"Gwen, Kat, shoot them!" I gave orders to my two female shooters.

Still running, they shot using the guns they carried. I did choose that weapon because it's lighter and easier to use while running.

However, they could not shoot well while running like that. Their attack was met with an upward warning shot by one of the raiders who used a rifle.

So, they don't want to kill my colonists? Do they just want to catch them?

This doesn't mean things will get any better. They may want to capture my colonists to torture or sell them into slavery.

The mounted raiders drew closer to my colonists. I began to question my decision to ask my people to run. At first, I thought that the raiders wouldn't detect my colonists leaving.

Gwen and Kat kept shooting, but it meant absolutely nothing. None of their bullets hit the raiders. Now, the horsemen started twirling the lasso string over their heads.

I thought hard to find a solution. I haven't come up with anything yet, and one of the raiders throws their lasso.

Manu, who was running at the back, couldn't do anything when his body was caught in the lasso and fell hard.

"Manu!!!" Levi stopped.

"No, keep running, Leva!!!" I screamed, even though I didn't want Manu to be arrested.

And Miro did something more than just stop. He ran towards the man who had just caught Manu.

Two rifle explosions rang out, and Miro fell down with both thighs covered in blood.

"You guys keep running!!!" I cried out in despair.

Leva stared at Miro for a moment with a shocked expression but eventually returned to running with the others.

A warning shot into the air resounded again.

"Give up. We were ordered not to kill you!" One of the raiders shouted.

However, according to my command, the colonists just kept running. The raiders gave chase again, this time more of them twirling their lasso.

And one of them threw the rope, managed to catch Seb. The man immediately fell down when the rope was pulled by the raider.

"Dad!!!" Eric stopped and turned to his father. That makes him an easy target. His body was snared by another lasso.

I shouted again to keep my three remaining female colonists running.

"They are our main target!!! Don't let them escape!!!" One of the raiders who had been giving out warning shots shouted again. "You guys don't want to be punished, but enjoy them, right!? So, move your ass!!!"

"Oh, I won't miss this fine catch!" One of the raider comrades licked his lips.

Disgusting.

However, in the end, humans lost to horses. The stamina of my colonists continued to decline. Their breath was running out. And the most exhausted is Gwen. She started to lag behind the two colleagues.

"Keep running, Gwen!!!" Leva screamed with all her might.

"I can't do this anymore...." After saying that, Gwen got caught in the lasso and fell down.

"Shoot, Kat!" My mind is getting messed up.

Kat pulled the trigger, but not a single bullet came out of it. Then, her body was also entangled and pulled until she fell.

"Kaaattt!!!" Leva stopped running and turned around, but she didn't notice that one of the horses was so close to her.

The red-haired woman couldn't do anything as her body was hit by a horse, sending her crashing into the ground.

Leva got up with difficulty. Even though she was clearly in pain, the woman had a face full of anger.

Yes, that was the face she showed when she activated the berserker buff.

Come on, Levi. You are my only hope. You can definitely save your friends if you go berserk.

"Arrrgggghhhh!!!" Leva shouted, about to strike with her huge machete. However, a rifle explosion was heard. The girl's eyes widened, looking down.

No.

Her left chest was bleeding. One of the bullets from the raider hit her back and pierced forward. And then, her body tumbled in a gush of blood.

"What the fuck!" One of the raiders cursed. "The instructions are clear, right!? We can't kill them! Are you out of your mind!?"

"I feel something else from her." The man who shot Leva, looking the oldest of the lot, hissed. "She looks like she's going to go berserk. I know someone like that.. She'd be a real pain in the ass if she really ran out of control."
