Chapter 252: Idleness
For a while, Thor didn't know if Beth and the others had arrived, so he could only go to a crowded place first.
At this time, the western exit of the entire Whispering Town was chaotic and brightly lit. The dense crowd was several layers inside and out, blocking the entire exit tightly, and it was impossible to see what enemy was coming from the wilderness outside the west gate.
Outside, some brave townsfolk are holding torches aloft and cheering on the town's heroes and bravery. Judging by the shouts of the townspeople, it is estimated that the incoming enemy should not be much destructive, otherwise they will have a chance to calm down.
Thor searched as he walked, and then saw Stante's greenskin in the distance, and ...... Beth, who came in a hurry.
The corners of his eyes twitched, and Thor had to open his hands to meet Beth's resemblance to a female warrior charge.
"You're finally back. Beth threw herself into Thor's arms, and was held in the air by Thor in a circle.
"Life is good, are you gaining weight?" said Saul teased.
"Why are you hurt?" Beth suddenly noticed the blood stain on Thor's left shoulder, but it had dried up.
"I'm sorry to break the clothes you made for me. Thor looked down and kissed her gently.
Beth had red eyes and would only shake her head stupidly.
"What's the situation?" asked Thor as he tilted his chin at the noisy crowd next to him, he asked Staunt and Diller as they walked by. Four or five days have passed since everyone separated in the secret realm, and Thor has not found a direct door to Whispering Town.
"We were waiting for you in the hotel, but this afternoon there was a sudden enemy attack here, and it is said that there is a monster called 'sandworm', the second order, but there are quite a few of them. Stint explained, clasping his hands.
"There are a lot of adventurers recruited in the territory, but because we have to wait for you, we didn't take part in it, and now we just come over to see the excitement. Diller also added in due course.
"It's right not to make a move, we've been away from the territory for too long, and the most important thing we should do now is to rush back as soon as possible, instead of mesiping other people's business. And the three of us are not on the stage, in case the lord of Kennaze is a stingy person, and he thinks that we are here to make trouble. ”
Thor wasn't joking, in fact, the strong man family he met in the secret realm before had the strength of the third and second orders, and they were almost the top strength in the Haloville territory. In a border territory like these, there are very few high-level people who are willing to come here to develop.
Stant, the three of them are third-order, and if they don't make a casual move, it will cause the local lords to be jealous.
"My father was very generous, unlike some people who only blindly speculate about others with malice. As soon as Thor's words fell, a crisp female voice suddenly floated behind him, but the tone was very sarcastic.
Thor turned his head and saw a girl in a skirt standing there with a disgruntled expression, seemingly familiar. Then I remembered that I had seen her in the territory before, at the spring celebration in Liberty City.
"Your father, so you're the lord's daughter, so you sneaked into my territory last time, and not only tricked me into eating my barbecue bread, but also spied on my territory by the way?"
"I was just a little ...... last time It's just a little curious. Petty bowed her head, blushing a little, and then remembered that as the daughter of another realm lord, it was indeed a bit rude to deliberately hide her identity last time.
"Let's go, let's go through the north gate. Thor didn't bother to think about it, and waved his hand to his friends.
In fact, before Thor's arrival, Petty's third-order father, who was also the Kennadze Lord, had already gone down to boost morale in person. Petty was so worried that she could only anxiously listen to the battle on the periphery, and stumbled upon Beth and Stant.
Petty and Beth had met at a celebration in Liberty City, and they were girls of little age who were not much different in age, so she talked to Beth enthusiastically, and accidentally learned that Staunt and Diller had third-order strength.
So Petty wanted to use Beth to convince Stant and the others to help in the game, not out of bad intentions, but just worried about his father. For now, the garrison of Whispering Town should be optimistic, but who would think that there is too much combat power?
Although Petty herself has no strength and is just an ordinary girl, she judged from what she had seen and heard in the past that if the two third-order could join the battle, they would not dare to say that they would crush the incoming enemy, but they would definitely greatly weaken the burden on her father's shoulders.
was about to convince everyone, but halfway through, Thor stretched out a dog's head to mess up, and things were disrupted.
Now seeing that they were leaving, Petty reluctantly stomped her foot and chased after them.
"Sister Beth, you have to be cautious, such a person is not worth entrusting his life with at all, and he doesn't even have the spirit of helping others. Petty scurried up to Beth and provoked, seemingly whispering to the girls, but the volume was clearly for Thor.
Thor didn't answer, just smiled and pulled Beth to his right and hugged her, between the two girls.
"It seems that I will have to let my father cut off the trade in the future. ”
Seeing that the agitation method was useless, Petty paused and said to himself in the back.
"We're not philanthropists, and I don't like people threatening me. Hehe, the merchants are chasing profits, so let me see if you can stop them from pursuing profits when the Free City is fully developed. ”
Thor stopped but didn't turn around, just spread his hands and said something to Petty behind him.
"I'm really just hoping that Lord Thor can help my father...... Give a helping hand to drive away the enemy. Petty explained sincerely.
"Why don't we help Petty, the enemy is said to be not strong, and she's just worried about her father. Beth turned her head and began to put her arms around Thor and dangle it, shaking Thor dizzy.
"She said to herself that I'm a lord anyway, and even if I can put it down, she can't afford to hire it, right?
"We'll be paid!" Petty hurriedly added, hearing that she had a chance.
"Can it be more than that?" Thor smiled as he stretched out his hand, a large handful of dazzling dragon's eye gems radiating brightly.
Petty was obviously shocked, covered her mouth in surprise, and was a little speechless for a while.
"You can also gain the friendship of Kenadze Territory, which I can represent my father. Petty continued to place bids.
"Friendship, if I let my lords help me live and die and give me nothing, and finally tell them that I can get my friendship as a lord, do you think they will end up killing me?"
"And what do you want? Petty thought for a moment and said.
Now that a lot of money is in place, it's time to go back and speed up the development, and at the moment Thor really can't think of anything in Kenadze's territory that he can covet. But with a roll of his eyes, Thor suddenly had an idea, and turned to look at Diller.
"I don't have a problem, the second order is just a warm-up. Stint shrugged.
"I'm more problematic than the greenskins. Diller spread his hands.
"Let's go, now that Her Majesty Queen Beth has orders, we can only continue to spill blood. Thor smiled and drew his sword and shook it, biting Beth on the face.
Petty was a little suspicious to see Saul suddenly change his mind, but it was a happy thing after all.
Soon a group of people squeezed a way out of the crowd of onlookers, leaving Beth and the others at the gate of the town, and the three of Thor came to the battlefield outside the west gate of the town.
At this moment, the torches on the battlefield were scattered, the battle situation was chaotic, and the field was obviously a little potholed. The Sandworm is a troublesome monster that can move quickly under the dirt before popping out of the ground to sneak up on anyone on the ground.
The attack speed is fast, and it looks like it has no head, but it has hard, sharp ring-like mouthparts at the tip of the worm-like soft leather body with a terrifying bite force. In addition to this, there is also a venom-spitting attack, which is mildly corrosive and destructive.
Moreover, this kind of monster is very cunning, and if it can't succeed in one hit, it will quickly wind and slide back, or directly retract to the ground.
At this time, the battle did not start for long, and the battle situation was not tense, only one first-order adventurer was accidentally bitten off his leg, and several others were slightly injured, and a few were rubbed by venom.
In terms of results, there is almost no effect on this kind of enemy who is good at evading.
In the face of this kind of enemy, you can only dodge the opponent's ground raid, and at the same time, you can attack with your backhand and fight with the opponent's speed, or grasp the opponent's movement trajectory and attack with your weapon under the dirt, and you don't know if your long sword is long enough.
Thor stood on the sidelines and observed, there were about a dozen of them in the wilderness that were constantly turning and arching moving dirt bags. Turning around and sharing his judgment with Stante Diler, the three of them intervened in the battlefield with their weapons.
As long as you react quickly enough to dodge the sneak attack, and don't get sprayed with venom, this kind of battle really doesn't have much intensity.
The sand worm's seemingly thick but soft body skin did not have excellent defense, and several of them were killed by the Thor and the others in a short time. It's just that before they die, these guys will have a lot of dirty blood and venom spraying everywhere, which is unavoidable and disgusting.
The outskirts of Whispering were still a traditional circular parapet with strap-on swivel-like horses tied up under it, and Beth and Petty were sitting on the parapet watching Thor and them fight.
"Stay away!" Thor yelled at Beth and Petty, who were sitting on the parapet and dangling their legs, during a break in the battle.
"Sister Beth, has he always been so fierce?" asked Petty.
"No, he's usually quite gentle. Beth smiled slightly.
"That'...... You're supposed to be the lord's wife, right?"
"Don't talk nonsense, I'm just...... The number one maid is just that. Beth replied shyly.
"Number one maid, does he have many maids?" Petty winked suspiciously.
"No...... It's just me as a maid, and he's got too many questions, so let's get out of here. Beth was embarrassed by the question, and dragged Petty off the parapet.
