Chapter 21: The Return
So she had to get to Grimm Territory before it got dark.
The woods were rugged, and even with the slashing of the crossed sword, the speed of movement was still not very fast.
Although Ellie, who was dragged and trotted, was the age of curiosity at the age of fourteen, and the fear just now was not so terrible for a short while, after all, she was hidden by Freya from the beginning, and then fell asleep due to psychological pressure, and she didn't know anything about the soldiers and corpses that were chasing.
What she understood was that the lively and active young lady actually rescued her, and calmly pulled her to continue to flee, this feeling made her very abrupt, and Ally even suspected that Miss Freya in front of her was another person, a very powerful and cold person with the same face as Miss Freya.
Of course, this suspicion is only a strange feeling of the sudden strength of the young lady.
Maybe Miss is already very powerful, but she doesn't usually show it. Ellie looked at Freya, who was pulling her, her back a little dirty from the wet mud, and felt the temperature between her hands, and her heart, which was still a little scared, gradually settled down.
Unlike Eri, who has some different thoughts, Freya is constantly on the road, but she is also always aware of the surrounding environment.
In the meantime, she had found several disgusting black objects in the grass, which were animal droppings, and there were quite a few of them.
'It's like a carnivore, and it's fresh. Freya frowned slightly, and the hand holding the sword clenched slightly, "I hope it's not something very difficult to entangle." ’
She is not omnipotent, and can only learn some superficial information through guò clues, herbivores are generally granular feces because of their special digestive functions, but she sees something else.
The beasts of this world are far more terrifying than those on earth, and in Grimm Castle, there is a black bear skin about three meters high in the baron's storeroom, which is one of the baron's proudest trophies.
It is said that at that time, in order to completely kill the black bear, the Baron and Howard even needed one person as a bait to kill it, and one of Howard's arms was seriously injured and left with irreparable sequelae.
The terrifying of two knight-level powerhouses is by no means as simple as one plus one, but a black bear can force two knight-level powerhouses to die like that, which shows its power.
However, with the clues she had gotten to the table, she could guess that these guys weren't knightly beasts like black bears, but some social predators... Like a wolf!
The sharp blade of the sword slashed lightly at a branch that stood in the way, and Freya and Ellie leaned out of a pile of weeds one man tall.
The dresses on the two of them were tattered, Freya was fine, but the ordinary Ellie looked much more miserable, some of the thighs and body were almost exposed to the skin, which was scratched by branches or hard weeds.
Despite this, Ellie did not complain in the slightest, and Miss Freya, who was the same as her, said nothing, and that she should not complain as an ordinary maid.
Freya, who was supposed to be in a trot, suddenly stopped, causing Ellie to almost fall behind.
"Shhhh
"It's footprints... It hasn't been covered up yet..."Freya's face changed slightly, and she looked up at the weeds in the distance, where she had caught an unusual sound, albeit subtle.
Without hesitation, she immediately changed the direction of travel and ran to the side with Ellie, she planned to bypass the group of creatures and reduce unnecessary trouble.
The rustling sound of stepping on the thick rotten leaves, the two of them were careful to avoid things that could make sounds, although it was a detour, but after all, the beast's sense of hearing and smell was not comparable to that of humans, so they could only narrow the scope of detection as much as possible.
As she approached the weeds that were hiding something unknown, Freya took the opportunity to look, and her keen eyesight allowed her to see the guys hiding there.
It was a group of gray wolves the size of calves, numbering more than a dozen, roughly similar to the gray wolves in her impression, but in addition to the big difference in size, their outstretched claws were also extremely large, and they also shone with a metallic luster, which was obviously not for decoration.
At this time, the group of giant wolves were gathering around to bite something, making a 'snort, snorting' sound of eating, and the smell of fresh blood wafted everywhere.
Perhaps they were not wanting to eat any more, but one or two alert wolves looked up in the direction of Freya and the others, and then ignored them.
The two who were lucky enough to slip away, after leaving the group of feeding giant wolves, traveled at a faster speed again.
Then, as if by the favor of Lady Luck, Freya and the two never encountered any accidents, and finally arrived at the iron ore area of Grimm's territory when it was a little dark.
Holding the cross sword, Freya walked out of the woods with Eli on her back, and the originally sharp blade had become uneven and chipped.
After a continuous afternoon of trotting through the woods, although Freya's body was still able to hold on, Eli, as an ordinary person, had already lost his strength, and was carried by her for most of the rest of the distance.
"What people!"
Seeing the wolf bèi suddenly emerge from the woods, and one of them was still holding a cross sword, a soldier on duty shouted vigilantly.
The soldier in front of him was wearing a half-length armor with the Grimm family crest, which made Freya, who had been nervous all the way, completely relaxed.
Gently lowering Ellie on her back, Freya wiped the dirt on her face to reveal a better face.
"I'm Freya. Green! You call Howard right now! ”
Most of the soldiers in Green's territory had seen Freya, and when the soldier saw that it was indeed him, he immediately turned around and called for someone without hesitation.
Soon, Howard, dressed in battle attire on a black warhorse, and several seemingly tough cavalrymen appeared in her field of vision.
Seeing Freya, who was sitting directly on the ground panting, Howard immediately dismounted and strode up to her and lifted her up from the ground.
"Freya, what's the matter, why are you here, didn't Andre arrange for you to go to Kent City this morning?"
