The tabby cat in Cecil's arms also meowed just right to prove its presence. Its vertical pupils looked at the travelers on the left side of the road ahead without blinking, as if they were very surprised.
"That's right, Your Highness Cecil, I just heard about the traces of cannibals from the local residents. The reason why Green Creek Town is under such martial law is because of this."
Woody told the young master in front of him the information he heard and some of the guesses he had compiled.
"Then you mean you want me to take action? To stop this latent threat?"
There was no emotion or anger in the voice of this woman with silver eyes, but when she said this, it seemed that in order to better see the person in front of her, she chose to put down her hood, revealing her smooth and smooth forehead, but
It is worth mentioning that this Northland mage, who has a good face and is slightly older than him, has a few particularly conspicuous silver stripes on his white-silver hair, just like the skin of a zebra.
Extraordinarily eye-catching.
Woody was slightly surprised when he saw the face of this mage, because although he didn't know the Northland spellcaster in front of him, he had never heard of it.
But he could tell from her appearance that she was definitely not a human being, but an extremely rare "Silver-fronted Tribe" among the blood descendants of dragons who were known for their elegance and wisdom.
The Silver-fronted Tribe, as the name suggests, are humanoid creatures that reproduced after the union of Silver Dragons and humans.
It is said that the origin legend of the Silver-fronted tribe originated from the fact that some Silver Dragons liked the form of humanoid creatures and found that they could share many of the same joys in daily life when communicating with humans.
Therefore, there are some silver dragons who pursue love. In some human communities, these disguised silver dragons successfully sneaked into human communities without knowing their identities.
And because one of the more common physical characteristics that shows they have dragon heritage is the silver streak or luster in their hair - most humans with silver dragon blood are collectively called the Silver-fronted tribe.
"Meow!"
But before Woody could answer, the cat in Cecil's arms was extremely excited and seemed to be breaking free from her arms. It was as if the originally soft position became as rattling as a stone, making it restless.
"I didn't say that. I just thought that taking action might save us some troubles along the way. After all, no matter what force the caravan or the town guard has, facing the tribe of cannibals alone will not be as enjoyable as the two sides working together.
, since we can’t avoid it anyway, why not just get rid of it once and for all, so that they don’t dare to fight back?”
"Of course, if necessary, I will go to the battlefield to face the enemy. I heard that cannibals have better weapons than humans. I want to see them."
Woody tried his best to use words carefully to ensure that no words could touch the sensitive and suspicious heart of the mage. Even though she had the blood of a silver dragon and was from the Thousand Towers Society, Woody could not guarantee that people from the good camp would not do extreme things.
thing.
After all, in the history of the vast land of Asenland, there are kind kings who massacre cities, and there are also majestic dragons who choose to eat dirt and never harm living creatures. The so-called law and chaos, good and evil, are just a measure of the heart.
ruler.
After hearing Woody's words, the female mage from the Silver-fronted tribe frowned and was silent for a long time, then shook her head and said.
"The intelligence of the cannibals is not low, not to mention that there must be a spell caster as the leader in their tribe. They will definitely not choose to conduct a sneak attack while we are here. They will not attack rashly in Green Creek Town, and I don't have much time to stay in
Here, you should understand."
Obviously, the implication was that there was no point in delaying it any longer, but she never thought that Woody's words gave her a new direction.
"But I said, what if there was a way to get them to go out collectively?"
Woody said without any worry, his fingers inadvertently brushed the surface of the dimensional ring. The shrine placed inside contained a ray of divinity from the Spider Goddess of the Abyss.
As a veteran player in his previous life, Woody understood that if he took this thing out to lure the two-headed baboon, it would undoubtedly be the most touching dessert.
The essence of abyssal creatures is fusion and absorption. In this remote plane where divinity and power transmission are extremely difficult, if Demogorgon's will can obtain the divinity of the Spider Goddess and absorb the divine power contained in it, then for Demogorgon
For Gao Gen, this is considered a dose of Shiquan Dabu Decoction.
Maybe the steps of awakening and coming are far in advance. If He notices it, he will definitely attack this town at all costs.
"oh?"
Woody's words made Cecil slightly surprised. After all, even she couldn't figure out how to trick these difficult group of cannibals out of the forest, even if she was a spell caster.
However, it was obvious when he thought that he had the blessing from that person, and he did not question its authenticity.
Instead, she began to seriously think about the possibility of this plan. Although the human town was in danger, if it really hindered the process, then she could only reluctantly give up. After all, the world was so big, and countless sufferings were happening at the same time, and she
How could she save thousands of people on the mainland? What's more, she wasn't that kind-hearted, she just couldn't bear it.
Everyone has their own code of conduct, and Cecil's current code of conduct is that as long as it does not hinder her travel speed, she can do anything, including annihilating a tribe of ungrateful cannibals. This is what she does
The self-confidence of a spell caster is also the pride of being a member of the elite mage of the Thousand Towers Society.
At this moment, the tabby cat in Cecil's arms also started to move.
--"Meow meow meow."
Accompanied by bursts of meowing sounds.
Its furry little claws had begun to dig around on the noble mage of the silver-fronted tribe in front of him, seeming to be urging her to agree quickly. Woody looked at him slightly and sighed.
This demon pet's desire to fight is too strong.
"Okay, I agreed, but if they don't come the day after tomorrow, then I will leave here with the business group and leave them a few scrolls at most."
Cecil comforted the tabby cat, then looked at the silent night town around him, and sighed leisurely.
"Since we want to unite, let's go visit the baron here now."
"Of course, I just found out that the baron's manor is in the northernmost part of the town. It is the largest and tallest, with three houses and a huge garden composed of two semicircular flower beds."
Woody nodded, without any hesitation, and pointed to the street leading to the Baron Manor at the corner.
Along the way, Cecil was not idle either.
She was more decisive than Woody imagined. After making her choice, she no longer regretted or procrastinated. Instead, she began to pay more attention to this plan than Woody did, including how to deploy troops and defensive measures.
After about ten minutes of walking, Woody, Cecil and the few guards arrived outside the baron's manor. The garden was still full of tulips that only bloomed in winter, and looked particularly beautiful under the bonfire at night.
If there is more moonlight in the sky, the whole garden will add a touch of holy color.
There were town guards wearing leather armor at the door, and there were even two archers standing on each of the four corner towers of the wall. The bonfire that had not been extinguished all night illuminated the surrounding darkness.
--"who!"
Seeing Woody, Cecil and others approaching, the guard took the lead and shouted.
"The owner of the Furious Winter Merchant Group has come to discuss matters with you, Baron Cam."
Obviously, the Nudong Merchant Group has not taken this route less. As soon as the name of the merchant group was said, the guards looked at each other and were slightly surprised. After all, they did not know that the leader of the Nudong Merchant Group was actually a beautiful girl with a slim figure.
But due to the pressure from the four guards around her, they did not take a second look. Instead, after hearing about the Nudong Merchant Group, they spoke very cautiously.
"Okay, this guest from afar, I will go and inform our Lord Baron now."
However, what Woody and Cecil did not expect was that not long after, when they saw the chubby baron who was greeted with a smile on his face, and when they informed the only lord of Green Creek Town of their plans, the baron had a greasy face and
The baron, who was about in his early thirties, showed a nonchalant smile and said with a smile.
"No, no, those man-eating apes can't do anything. The reinforcements I requested are already on the way. You don't have to worry. I will protect the safety of Green Creek for you."
"Go and play with confidence, and enjoy it with confidence!"
The Baron's smile was full of enthusiasm and friendliness, and he even wanted to invite Woody, Cecil and others into his manor to relax, but they were repeatedly declined.
After coming out, Cecil said with a smile.
"It seems that there is no need for me to take action. Green Creek Town is still quite reliable."
The mage spent most of her time in the laboratory and books. Real travel and interpersonal relationships do not require too much maintenance. This is normal, but Woody felt that she was wrong this time and was a little too dependent.
So, in front of Cecil, he took out a bag.
"Folding space?"
Cecil naturally saw that this was a dimensional bag specially used to store living creatures.
"Yes."
Woody nodded naturally and said yes. After receiving a gift from his aunt Susan, he would not be stingy with a few gold coins if he was rich. He happily bought a night crow with bright feathers in the secret shop.
Although he is not a spellcaster, he can directly use the "Eye of Crows" to capture the surrounding information with the wise eyes of this night crow, which is equivalent to a demon pet.
Just now, he clearly felt that this lord was lying!
…
"Keep your eyes open. Those beasts are always staring at us. When you relax, think about the relatives behind us and the young children in your family! Then think about the tragedy in Karen Town!"
"We will be safe once the reinforcements from Lord Viscount Horne County and the commission from the Adventurer's Guild are received!"
"Everyone, just hold on!"
On the top of the city wall, a middle-aged soldier wearing half-armor stood in a log trench and shouted loudly to the people around him. At the same time, he began to tell the residents who had been medicine collectors, blacksmiths and other professions about food and food.
Precautions for ape fighting.
These combat matters are also summarized when fighting them.
As the guard captain of Green Creek Town, he has naturally fought against the cannibals, winning and losing. He even captured a cannibal warrior who seemed to be of high status. Unfortunately, he couldn't find out anything and is still in prison.
In the dungeon of the town.
Facing the uncertain number of cannibal tribes, Green Creek Town definitely cannot afford the loss of its known combat strength, so as early as a week ago, it began to huddle in the town, waiting for rescue.
For example, when fighting a man-eating ape, the first thing to pay attention to is not to fight in a complex environment. Otherwise, the green and brown camouflage smeared on its body will be enough that you may not be able to spot them even if you wander around the forest for a whole day, but you will have to fight on your own. Suffered from all kinds of sneak attacks, traps and ambushes.
And the second thing is to never show your head at will. When you know that there are cannibals in the forest, you will only be regarded as a target if you show up rashly. Although the bows in their hands are not made of fine iron, they are definitely not inferior to the long-distance killing ability. The lizardmen's war bows, especially in terms of stability and durability, are a step above the monster lizardmen with the same archer specialization.
Of course, in order to boost morale, he also played up the cruelty of the cannibals in various ways.
For example, the town of Karen mentioned earlier, where half of their residents disappeared, and half of the residents turned into bloodshot skeletons lying on the land they regarded as a safe home, allowing mosquitoes and flies to infest. Bites.
In many stories, when given the opportunity to seize a remote town and massacre its residents, a tribe of cannibals would agree without hesitation. The apes’ stealth skills left most jungle villages unaware of the situation until the battle was decided. Realizing they were attacked by a band of cannibals, half the village lay dead in their beds, never having the chance to wake up and sound the alarm.
Once resistance arises in a village, the cannibals often subdue the remaining victims, but instead of killing them, they are used as food for a victory dinner. Typically, such captives do not survive more than 48 hours.
Captives are often kept in cages close to the feast, and the apes enjoy listening to their wails and shudders as they see their own relatives being eaten.
Speaking of this, many militiamen turned pale, but when they thought about what the captain said, as long as they prevent the group of cannibals from entering the town in the dark, there would be nothing to be afraid of. When the crowd gathered around them, their courage returned, and I got excited again and didn't dare to take it lightly.
Just when the middle-aged man was about to get off the wall and go to other city walls to continue preaching, a man from the town ran over screaming.
Linn is the mayor of the town and the steward of the baron's estate.
"Captain Page, Mayor Cam invites you to go to the manor to discuss matters."
His voice was very low at the moment, and he spoke in a low voice.
"The master said that you should first avoid the group of business travelers from other places, and also ask them not to reveal too much about what is happening around them..."
What they didn't notice was that at some point, a black bird with raven-colored feathers stood on a high branch near the town wall, tilting its head and staring at them without blinking. .
Ga~
Just in time, in the distance, the town stretched to the bottom of the mountain. In the dense forest shrouded in black night in the distance, suddenly a flock of birds flew up, covering the road not far from the town that passed through the Forest of Whispers and merged in the direction of the Thousand Sails Sea. Green Creek River, the sound of turbulent water.
