Chapter 44: Enemy Attack
Roland rushed to the scene with Hyakkimaru and found more details, judging from the bite marks on the broken body, it was indeed left by some kind of monster, but under the guidance of Flamming, Roland found the footprints of the intelligent race on the ground, to be exact, shoe prints.
“...... It can be seen that this is not a simple monster attack, but someone deliberately drove the monsters to attack the hunting party, at least judging from the evidence left at the scene. Flamen concluded in an orderly manner.
Roland stared at the shoe prints on the ground, his brows furrowed, from the analysis of the number of shoe prints, this is a gang of at least fifty people, combined with the analysis of the footprints left by some four-legged creatures next to these shoe prints, it should also be equipped with the same number of monster mounts, as for the hunting team that killed the monster mounts, or whether there were other monsters present, it is unknown, but no matter what, just know that it was instructed by this group.
"Lord Roland, it stands to reason that the tribes of thousands of miles around here have been destroyed in one fell swoop, and it is usually difficult to see one or two intelligent races other than our tribe haunting, there are a lot of people in this group, and the cultivation of the lower demon general of Slote has not even had time to send a signal for help, which shows that the strength is also quite good, and there is obvious hostility towards us, otherwise it will not kill our people, I guess most of them are not from this area. Flamen said with a solemn face.
"You're right, Flamming, whatever the purpose of these people, if they dare to kill the people of our tribe, they must pay a heavy price. Roland said with a gloomy face.
"Hyakkimaru, what's wrong with you? Did you find anything?" At this time, Roland noticed that the faces of the five Hyakkimaru were gloomy and hideous, and their eyes shot an astonishing murderous intent.
"Yes...... It's them, this breath...... It can't be wrong, they appeared, the murderers who destroyed our tribe and killed our compatriots, they appeared. The old man suddenly shouted, his hair was all open, and his expression was excited.
"The murderer who destroyed our ghost tribe has finally appeared. Hyakkimaru said with hatred in his eyes, trembling all over.
"Abba, Grandma, Xiaoxue...... Everyone, we have found the trace of the murderer, and we will soon be able to avenge you. Zi Ling tilted her head slightly, looking at the dim sky, bloody tears slid down her face, flashing countless scarlet images, which were Abba , Grandma, sister and many other people lying in a pool of blood, these pictures appeared in her sleep countless times like nightmares.
Feeling the irrepressible emotions of the five Hyakkimarus, Roland took a deep breath, he now deeply knows how Hyakkimaru spent this time with a deep hatred of the sea of blood, probably every day is like a year, life is better than death, every day in front of him as if nothing happened, but behind his back he felt guilty and painful for not being able to find the murderer and take revenge.
"Lord Roland...... Hyakkimaru walked over with the sword elder four, and suddenly bowed heavily, solemnly, with a resolute look on his face.
"I know," Roland interrupted without waiting for him to continue, "Hyakkimaru, are you planning to take them after the murderer?"
"That's right, we've been waiting for too long for this day, if the adults want to dissuade us, there is no need to say it anymore, I have made up my mind, even if the other party's strength is stronger than ours, we are fighting for our lives to pull them to hell, and following the adult's days, the five of us have benefited a lot, and there has been no chance to repay, just right, this time the five of us will solve the trouble for the adult." Hyakkimaru said with a resolute face.
(OS: (≡Д≡;) I haven't said anything yet, how did you make up the picture that I want to dissuade you, and if you don't agree, you still have to fight resolutely despite opposition?)
"Hyakkimaru, Sword Elder, Shadow, Ziling, and Onihime, what do you think of me? an outsider, or a partner?" Roland's gaze looked at them in turn, making them look stunned.
"Partners, of course. Onihime said eagerly, for fear that Roland would misunderstand something.
"No, it's neither," Roland said, Ghost Queen's face darkened, as if the sky had fallen, Joan's nose twitched slightly, tears swirled in her beautiful eyes, she didn't expect Roland to say that, it turns out that he has never regarded me as a partner?
But Roland's next words made her eyes widen.
"For me, you are clansmen, compatriots, comrades-in-arms, partners, a collection of these identities, we are family. Roland paused, stared into their eyes, and said.
"Family...... The eyes of the five Hyakkimaru widened, as if sand had suddenly fallen into their eyes, Hyakkimaru, Shadow, and Ken Lao either raised their heads or turned their heads, and Onihime and Ziling smiled, and they shed happy and sour tears with a smile.
Yes, it's family, countless pictures flashed in their eyes, it was the bits and pieces of life in the Sword Spirit Tribe, there were battles to the death for the same purpose, there were unswerving guards for the same destination, there were laughter and laughter, pain and struggle, laughter and tears, happiness and sorrow...... Unconsciously, they have become a family, and the Sword Spirit Tribe has become their second home.
"Since it's family, how can I watch you fight alone, of course you have to go together. Roland smiled and said.
"Lord Roland......" Hyakkimaru and the others suddenly choked up, and they were speechless with emotion.
(OS:(ーー;) Call...... It's so dangerous.,The tool man I worked so hard to cultivate.,Almost left me.,Fortunately, I was witty and saved.,Although I put myself in.,But it's family.,Of course I'm out of the heart)
......
"Is this the place, the child in the portrait?" a man with a red swirl on his face, riding on the back of a tall lion-shaped monster, looked at the huge tribe not far ahead, and listened to the voice of a woman, the voice was lazy and full of charm.
"Lord Rosalie, it should be here, there is only such a tribe within a radius of thousands of miles, no wonder I can't find it, those people probably can't think of it, if it weren't for us looking for the whereabouts of the tomb of the gods, passing through this area, and meeting the group of hunting natives, it is really not easy to find the child in the portrait here. His entourage shook his head and said quickly.
"I've been looking for the tomb for so many years, and I've only found some clues that I don't know if it's true or not, and it's not bad for a day or two, since the child in the portrait has been met by us, let's take him and take it to Oslo Castle to find the old lizard in exchange for some change. Although the masked woman said that it was change, there was a slight heat in her eyes.
"But my lord, Fawkes is a powerhouse of the three-star Demon Shuai Realm, and he actually died at the hands of the child on the portrait, I'm afraid there is something strange about it. ”
"It's okay, if I suspected that he was the son of a big force who came out to train, and there was a strong man secretly protecting him, so he could kill Fawkes, then now I can be sure that it was our poor Fawkes who was too unlucky, I guess it was most likely that when Fawkes was seriously injured and dying in a battle with a powerful monster, this kid or the adult behind him killed him for some reason, maybe out of the mood for money, after all, for these natives who are not favored by the gods, anything can be done. ”
The masked woman stroked the green silk hanging down her ear, Zhizhu said in her grip, and then she waved her hand forward, and dozens of pig-headed people riding on the back of lion-shaped monsters and wearing fine iron armor behind her suddenly realized, driving the monsters under her to rush towards the tribe in front.
