"Goblins, trolls, kobolds, and even dragons... Oh, Your Majesty, Madam Lucky, what did I do wrong to deserve such punishment?"
After returning to the camp, the guard captain Delit reported the findings of several people to Sodik.
After hearing this, the halfling looked collapsed and in disbelief.
His damn sixth sense worked like a charm!
There is no other reason. Just before Ren and others returned, the guards who went to explore in other directions brought back news.
They found traces of kobolds, including huge footprints, which seemed to be dragon beasts raised by kobolds!
Kobolds are these little guys who are fanatical fans and super little licking dogs of the giant dragon, and the kobold tribe that can raise dragon beasts will almost always embrace the giant dragon's thick legs.
This news was nothing at first, but when compared with what Delite found, it was enough for the halflings to understand how bad the situation around the caravan was!
"Let me tell you, be more alert when you go to bed tonight! Also, the number of people on night watch will be doubled!"
Sodik gave the order with a dark face.
"I?"
No matter what, you need to look at the situation first before deciding how to respond.
Just sleep and that's it!
Sodik shouted in a deep voice.
At this time, a guard who was acting as a scout at the front ran back in a panic, and out of breath reported to the halfling:
"Ren, how about we quietly return to Fanlin Town?"
Besides, there are already cheats, so what’s the point of staying at home until death?
…………
"But didn't Captain Delit say that there was a creature that looked like a giant dragon on the road?"
"Sir, what should we do next?"
The guard finally managed to catch his breath, and then he spoke tremblingly.
She had never thought so much, she just wanted to follow the boy closely...
These people are almost all professionals with a clean financial background who are tired of exciting and adventurous careers. Their average professional level is above level 7, and they just want to earn a stable pension.
This caravan was organized by a halfling. Although he did not control the management of the caravan, whether it was his connections, knowledge, the strength of a high-level professional, or the legendary halfling's lucky bonus,
Success made Sodik's opinion very important in the caravan.
That night, everyone except Renn had a restless sleep.
But no matter what, things are not that bad yet, right?
"Ren, what should we do?"
"It's just a suspicion..."
After a while, Miss Youxia bit her lip and asked aloud.
"I don't want to anyway! My sixth sense tells me that there may be danger, but it is possible to get through it safely."
As for the green dragon, let’s wait until we actually meet it.
As a man, you will remain a boy until you die!
"Dragon, dragon...it's really a dragon!"
Sodik waved his hand.
Only by making her aware of the dangers of the wilderness can the fierceness in this girl's bones be aroused.
Only by making her realize that her identity has undergone earth-shaking changes and that she is getting further and further away from her civilian identity, can she abandon the so-called romantic and unrealistic fantasy of a girl, face the reality, and gradually transform into a real adventurer.
, a teammate who can be relied upon to support you in critical moments.
Just when Sodik had a headache, Angelica quietly found Ren and asked him this question.
"Okay, let's listen to you! After all, our business is no different from mercenaries and guards. We all live with our heads tied to our belts. It doesn't matter if I die, but we can't harm my wife, children and the others.
!”
"Yes, boss, I will tell my brothers."
"That's a dragon, the legendary dragon!"
"So what?" Ren yawned and thought to himself, it's not like I've never killed a giant dragon before.
Looking into the distance, at the end of the field of vision, thick smoke was rising straight into the sky several miles away. Under the thick smoke was a burning town.
The halfling made a quick decision and rushed forward with several leading merchants and guards.
The halfling said calmly.
Ren's eyes flashed for a few seconds before he chuckled.
Within a few hours, the caravan arrived at the river beach that Ren and the others had explored last night, and passed the old wooden bridge to the other side of the river bank.
Unless they are desperate, wandering in the wilderness, and starting a bandit business.
Ren got on his horse, turned around and shouted to the girl.
Miss Ranger asked timidly.
"Even if there really is a giant dragon, we still have to move forward. Don't forget that there is a time limit for our delivery of this batch of goods. If we don't arrive at Lahar City on time, we will be in big trouble. Don't you guys
Are you willing to pay a large amount of liquidated damages and then have a bad reputation?"
A businessman found Sodik and asked.
"Sir, there's something going on up front!"
"I……"
He wrapped himself in a sleeping bag last night and had a peaceful sleep.
Perhaps the few Red Label Gang bullies that Miss Ranger killed in a fit of rage a few days ago were her first real encounters with blood.
The people in the caravan quickly reached a consensus, and after a simple breakfast, the caravan set off again.
If that's the case, what's there to be afraid of?
Looking at the paladin who had never looked so serious before, facing these words, the girl's face seemed to be changing under the light of the fire.
Not to mention the giant dragon, I have killed more than one of the divine dragons!
"Aren't you scared?"
"What's going on?"
The reason for this was because he could tell from the footprints of those wilderness creatures that these guys were not moving in the direction of the caravan.
"If it is a bit exaggerated to say that I am looking for traces of evil, although this is indeed part of the truth, but to be serious, it is because I am a young man who desires more passion than an ordinary life where I can see the end..."
Adventurers live a life of licking blood with the tip of a knife.
If these guards abandon the caravan and run away at this time, not only the problem of survival in the wilderness, but also abandoning their employer and running away will cause the mercenary union to cast a black mark on their future guard careers and become everyone's ridicule.
object.
The halfling gritted his teeth and said.
However, if you see blood often, you will get used to it.
The girl asked in confusion.
The guard captain sighed and nodded in agreement.
Early the next morning, everyone looked at each other's dark circles and smiled "You do the same" to each other.
"There is no turning back. We will continue to go to Lahar City according to the original plan."
This girl needs to change her thinking.
"What should we do? The two of us are just like grasshoppers on the same rope as the caravan. Let's sleep well first and see what Sodik will do tomorrow."
"Ren, can you tell me why you left the town and went on an adventure?"
"Let's go and have a look!"
But Renn and their joys and sorrows are not connected.
The group of people galloped on horseback and soon came to a hill.
They were all recruited by Sodik in Bess Port, and they were old men who had followed the caravan several times.
"Angelica, let's follow and take a look!"
"Delit, let the brothers work harder and set up some traps outside the camp tonight. When the caravan arrives in Lahar City, I will double the salary of the guards this time!"
Sodik's words made the businessman who asked the question change his face several times. Finally, the businessman gritted his teeth and said with a self-deprecating smile:
"Angelica," Ren sat up straight and looked at the girl with solemn eyes, "Remember, from the moment you step into the wilderness, you are no longer Angelica from an orphanage.
You are now an adventurer, the darling of the forest, and a ranger. The dangers you will face in the future may be more terrifying than the dragon. Do you want to be like today, scared to the point of going back to find your mother when you only see footprints?
?”
Everyone's eyes were attracted to the long winged thing hovering around the thick smoke.
As the unknown creature opened its mouth and spit out a cone-shaped green smoke, everyone couldn't help but let out a soft "thump" in their hearts.
It was the crisp sound of the luck in my heart being shattered by ruthless reality.
That, really...is a dragon!
