第十九章：一切又都迅速变糟了(6)
Ravenhunters.
A flock of the witch’s Ravenhunters, pursuing them like an inescapable, unwearying Fate. Ravenhunters were too small for riders, but they acted as spies for the witch. On they came, with remorseless flaps. Flying dragons can easily outpace a ship.
Nearer… nearer… nearer…
‘SHOOT THEM!’ yelled Snotlout, grabbing his bow.
Windwalker and the Hurricane leapt bravely from the deck of the ship to confront the Ravenhunters mid-air as they flew overhead.
Snotlout shot five of them – even Hiccup, with one dead hand, shot one.
Windwalker and the Hurricane took out even more, diving after them as the remainder flapped back to the witch, squawking. But there were too many to catch.
‘They’ll fetch reinforcements,’ shouted Snotlout. ‘And this time they will bring Bullguards with riders. Those Bullguards are quick. They’ll catch us before we get to the Dragonmarker hideout, if it’s where you say it is.’
