Young Arthur stood in the attic at the very top of the castle. What appeared in front of his eyes was a scene of prosperity.

Large fields have been cleared across the plains, and lights illuminate every corner to keep out the monsters that might come close.

Soldiers wrapped in iron armor patrolled the streets in an orderly manner, their armor glowing in the warm sunlight, and the soldiers were trying to keep the territory safe.

"King."

At this moment, an old voice came, it was the minister who had come to report the matter.

"What's the matter?" Young Arthur took the letter from the minister.

Frowning slightly, Arthur twisted the letter into a ball and strode towards the door.

"Go gather some soldiers, there's something to do!"

Resoluteness was Arthur's character, so he did not hesitate to assemble his soldiers.

The epistle is simple, but it is also serious.

Since the people of the territory had to use a lot of timber to expand and repair the city, they had to go to the forest at the other end of the grassland to collect timber resources. Naturally, at the edge of the forest, there were also strongholds and simple roads to facilitate the transportation of timber and prevent you from getting lost when you went back and forth.

But just recently, there was a serious incident at the base of the timber yard, and according to the wreckage described at the scene, it should have been a large-scale explosion.

Creepers!

As soon as I heard the explosion, the first thing that came to mind, undoubtedly, was naturally the creeper, known as the humanoid self-propelled unstable bomb.

"It seems that this time is a tough battle, notify the whole army and prepare me."

The minister stepped back to prepare for Arthur's words, and Arthur walked along the road, thinking about things.

"Speaking of which, it seems that among the things left by the teachers, there is a mention of things in the forest."

Arthur walked towards the study, and after a while came to the study, and opened a drawer, in which there was only one book, and nothing else. There is no signature on the book, of course, because it is something I wrote down in passing when I had time to write a journal.

Arthur flipped through the pages of the journal, and finally, he found what he was looking for.

――――――――I'm a dividing line――――――――

Summer: Sunny

I don't know what date it is today, but the weather is very clear. My best friend and I survived the threat of a sandstorm.

Taking advantage of the rare free time, I will record the recent events.

I have to say that the power of nature is infinite, no matter how strong our cultivation is, in the face of nature, human beings are still very fragile, just a sandstorm, that abandoned village has disappeared.

After that, we walked into a seemingly peaceful wood, and this was our way home. It was tempting to get around the woods, but due to food and water constraints, we had no choice but to venture through the woods to the other end.

The reason why I didn't want to go in was largely due to my hunch.

The inexplicable sixth sense conveyed to me a very dangerous reaction in this wood, and combined with the silence of the woods, it became more and more eerie.

Later, it turned out that my conjecture was correct.

Creepers!

Lots of creepers!

As we entered the woods, almost in the center, we encountered these horrible monsters.

These guys don't seem to like outsiders, or are hostile to any living thing. So we are undoubtedly surrounded. Worst of all, I was surrounded by a lot of creepers in the woods.

However, fortunately, we also had a certain amount of strength at that time, and we were not killed in the end, and we successfully broke through a gap.

Those green-skinned guys didn't seem to have any intention of coming out of the woods, and they didn't mean to chase after them.

What is it protecting?

Well, but who knows about this kind of thing, if possible, I don't want to go back.

Never fight a group of creepers in a large woods!

Forever!

Because you don't know when a creeper will sneak up on you from behind you, but you don't notice it because of the trees behind you, and you will be blown up half dead.

If possible, lure the group out into the open and expose them to the open.

Contrary to the skeleton archer, the narrower the area, the greater the threat of creepers, as the impact from the explosion is the most powerful in the narrow.

So, that's all for today.

――――――――I'm a dividing line――――――――

Closing the book, Arthur frowned and whispered as he considered his countermeasures.

This notebook left by the teachers is a priceless treasure. Because in this note, it contains what those two have seen and heard. Almost all of the monsters are mentioned in this notebook.

What's more, this notebook, along with the record of monsters, also provides a variety of information, including the habits of various monsters, attack methods, the place and time of appearance, and the corresponding monster correspondence method.

"Lured to the plains・・・・・・" After pondering for a moment, Arthur carefully put the book back in the drawer and locked it.

At this moment, the minister walked in.

"All is ready, king."

Arthur nodded, took the things hanging from the wall in the study, and put them on himself.

It was a set of diamond armor, including leggings, shoes, a hat, and a diamond sword.

Left by the previous generation, Arthur's father, this armor was restored to its former glory by a blacksmith who was harder than iron from its original tatters.

An hour later.

Arthur stood in front of the assembled soldiers, his pale blue diamond armor glowing softly, and his dark blue diamond sword behind his back.

The soldiers were heavily armed, about a hundred in all, of which a quarter were archers, a quarter of them were armed with solid iron shields, and the rest were ordinary one-handed iron swords.

Very elite troops, which is the result of steady development over the years.

Nodding in satisfaction, Arthur raised his sword.

"Right in the woods of the logging grounds, there are monsters threatening our people, what should we do!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill! "Although there are only 100 people, its momentum is like a rainbow.

"Let's go!"

As the trumpet sounded, the young king set out with his most elite troops. The people of the Eastern Plains, the soldiers cultivated in this cruel nature, each of them is equivalent to a mage apprentice before an advanced intermediate mage.

And so, after a day's journey.

At noon the next day, Arthur led his army to the outlying lumberyard stronghold in the woods.

The villagers were forced by a strong threat from inside the woods to enter the woods to log, so they had to stay on the periphery, and sometimes the creepers would attack, which made everyone panic.

When the army led by the young Arthur was seen, everyone cheered.

After that, he successfully stationed in the stronghold, and then Arthur naturally sent some soldiers to collect intelligence.

After all, before the war, the importance of intelligence is self-evident.

Terrain factors, environmental influences, your own strength, the enemy's strength, the enemy's movements, the enemy's stronghold, etc., etc., all must be clarified first.

The unknown is one of the greatest fears of human beings, because the unknown is fearful, it will create a gap in people's hearts, once attacked by the unknown, the heart is hit, then it will surely collapse.

So, first and foremost is intelligence.

After more than an hour of questioning the lumberjacks, Arthur learned something.

First of all, although this forest is located on a plain, the terrain is gentle, and there are almost no high slopes or anything like that. However, due to the lush growth of the trees and the interlacing of leaves, the visibility in the woods is very low. Without guidance such as a compass or map landmarks, lumberjacks are afraid to go deep into the woods to cut wood.

However, it is possible that the logging movement has been noticed by the creepers, who see it as a great threat and begin to attack one after another.

"Something is wrong, according to common sense, monsters seem to be unorganized, and there is no discipline." Arthur held his chin in one hand and paced back and forth.

"No, you can't think of it that way, it's recorded in the teachers' notes, and it can't be ruled out that there are intelligent monsters. That's right, that would explain that there must be a monster lord in this wood, and since logging threatens its territory, creepers are like this! After a short period of thought, Arthur quickly came up with an answer.

The next step was to test it out on the ground, and Arthur began to make a plan.

"First of all, let's do a test and see if we can find out the details of the existence behind the scenes." Slowly wrote on the paper.

"If you can't know who the leader is, then lure the creepers out, and the creepers will be very easy to deal with on the empty plains."

Arthur put the paper away.

Before you fight, let's eat first, after all, it's already noon.
