The group dispersed, lurking in the forest.
Duke saw George in the distance give a signal, then silently bent his bow and nocked an arrow. The arrow gleamed with a cold light, ready to release.
A moment later, Duke saw George's signal change again and immediately released the bowstring.
With a whoosh, the arrow hit the brow of a caveman in the distance.
George couldn't help but be taken aback by this shot, giving Duke an extra look.
He didn't expect Duke's archery to be so exquisite, shooting with such precision from such a distance.
Duke had always practiced archery at the range, standing very close, and had been gossiped about by many.
People said standing so close wouldn't yield training results, and practicing on a fixed target wouldn't lead to any qualitative breakthroughs.
To advance in archery, one generally needs to practice on moving targets.
Duke had always practiced in front of a fixed target, standing close, so others had no idea about his archery level.
Duke's archery experience was now highly seasoned. Since maxing out his archery skills, he could hit targets without fail within the effective range of his bow.
He quickly advanced while casually bending his bow and nocking arrows. With each shot, another caveman's life was taken.
The entire process flowed smoothly, with extremely fluid movements.
As Duke shot arrows and advanced, his goal was to close in quickly and kill more cavemen.
This group of cavemen numbered only about a hundred, whereas they had over sixty people, all Knight Attendants.
Given their strength, a hundred cavemen simply weren't enough to kill, and if they were slow, they wouldn't even get a few heads.
Duke quickly arrived in front of the cavemen, put away his longbow, and drew his longsword.
With a casual swing of his sword, blood sprayed forth.
Duke moved swiftly and without delay, slicing through the neck of the caveman in front of him and heading to the next target without looking back.
In just a short minute, Duke left the others behind and killed several cavemen.
Hewen had been watching Duke's actions from behind and only then realized Duke's combat abilities far exceeded his own.
Such decisive and smooth actions must have been honed through countless battles.
After Duke quickly dealt with the group of cavemen before him, he drew the attention of cavemen in other areas.
A burly elite caveman quickly ran over, wielding a wolf fang club and growling as he ran.
Holding his sword, Duke remained calm. Once this elite caveman entered his attack range, he immediately activated his Fighting Spirit, stomping heavily on the ground, his speed exploding in an instant, appearing in front of the caveman in the blink of an eye.
With the support of Fighting Spirit, his strength and speed far exceeded before, catching the elite caveman completely off guard.
Before the elite caveman could react, the longsword had already sliced off its head, sending it flying high.
Duke gave the caveman no chance; he wasn't interested in experiencing the power level of an elite caveman, aiming only to resolve the battle quickly.
While he fought, other Nightingale members also clashed with cavemen elsewhere, almost crushing them.
This band of cavemen was scantily clad, with little protective capability, wielding crude wooden clubs as weapons.
Facing fully armed Nightingale members, they had virtually no resistance.
At the center of the cavemen was a cave.
From the cavemen's distribution, it appeared they centered their activities around the cave, as if guarding it.
As the Nightingale gradually fought their way in, they began to surround the cave.
Before they could explore inside, a figure slowly emerged from it.
This was also a caveman, but unlike ordinary cavemen, this caveman was nearly 1.8 meters tall and had incredibly developed muscles.
"The King of Cave Dwellers! Fall back!" Lu Ping recognized the creature before him at a glance and immediately ordered the surrounding Nightingale members to withdraw.
Everyone was shocked and fearful upon hearing it was the King of Cave Dwellers, quickly retreating.
The King of Cave Dwellers possessed strength comparable to an Official Knight Level fighter, extremely powerful.
Within a caveman community, the emergence of a King is exceptionally rare, and they didn't expect this community to have one.
The highest-ranking Nightingale members here were advanced Knight Attendants, making direct confrontation impossible, so they could only rely on their numbers to find opportunities.
Everyone was on high alert, but surprisingly, the King of Cave Dwellers didn't launch a reckless attack, seeming somewhat cautious.
Duke glanced over, noticing a distinct burn scar on the King's chest.
His chest was blackened, as if struck by thunder, where one could see the charred flesh.
Seeing the King panting heavily, everyone understood that the King of Cave Dwellers was injured, and critically at that.
Perceiving this, Lu Ping's spirit soared, and he immediately moved forward with two other advanced Knight Attendants.
Their goal was to harass and hold the King of Cave Dwellers, providing opportunities for elite archers in the team.
They didn't aim for a fatal blow, just to gradually wear down the King.
Lu Ping and the others needed only to be cautious, avoiding being pulled down by the King's last gasp. They fought very cautiously.
Due to his injuries, the King of Cave Dwellers' strength and speed were markedly reduced, unable to handle the three before him for a while.
Duke also continued from a distance, shooting arrows at the King's weak spots, such as eyes and ears, specifically targeting spots.
His exquisite archery was once again on full display, and soon the King's head was filled with arrows.
However, given the hardness of the King's skin and bones, the arrows only penetrated slightly, failing to deliver a fatal blow.
Nonetheless, they posed significant trouble for the King, who still faced three advanced Knight Attendants.
Duke's harassment successfully bought Lu Ping and the others a chance, leaving hideous wounds on the King.
When Lu Ping's sword sliced through the King's belly, the King howled in pain.
At that moment, two arrows whistled through the air, striking the King in both eyes.
The King immediately reached out in pain to remove the arrows from his eyes; Lu Ping and the others seized this opportunity and decapitated the King together.
As the King's head fell, two arrows were still embedded in his eyes, resembling sacrificial incense sticks.
