It was already dark, and at noon, the human scouting team also stopped moving, according to past experience, the remnants of the demon king would not be active during the day, they did not know where to hide, only by searching on the carpet at night.

At this time, in a glade, a heavily armed reconnaissance team was repairing, there were about thirty people here, including four professionals, three of whom were originally a brave adventure group, and now they were incorporated into the reconnaissance team, and the other was the original reconnaissance captain, the only officer in this team.

Trimming during the day and searching at night, according to past experience, the Demon King only haunts at night, which is one of the reasons why he is like a mouse.

The soldiers sat on the ground to trim themselves, some of them were in charge of cooking, and the coalition army had plenty of food, so they all seemed very energetic.

On the other side, the Brave Squad was clearly out of step with the soldiers, their eating place was quite a distance away from the scout, and the soldiers were constantly glancing at them.

It's a three-person squad, one man and two women, like most brave teams.

I don't know why.,The brave profession is always good at collecting a team of beautiful girl teammates.,After the final retirement, you can still enjoy the blessings of all people.,This thing has been listed in the world's top ten unsolved mysteries.,Ranked fifth.。

"Really, why are we sleeping with these big-headed soldiers, we finally attacked the Demon King City, and now we should be looting the valuable things inside!" A blonde drill with a double ponytail was very unhappy and gnawed on dry food.

Judging from the fact that she was still wearing a tutu on the battlefield, this person should have no common sense, and she may have been the daughter of a nobleman before she came out on an adventure.

"Miss, the Demon King is not dead yet." A leather-armored thief sighed, she was a delicate young girl with brown hair and a slender figure, but it was very conspicuous that there was a tattooed symbol on her face, which was the sign of a criminal.

"It's almost like not dead." Nearby, the "Brave" is concentrating on his surroundings while answering his teammates' words.

"If it's almost like death, then why does the army have to put so much effort into it? Maintaining an expedition of so many people has a big impact on the domestic finances, and when we came out, Young Master and Miss Lily, your family complained about the emperor's taxation, right? The thief-like girl said cautiously, and at the same time, she was still boiling a pot of food, which should be eaten by the brave team.

"What do you say! Is that what you can say, too! The aristocratic girl shouted unhappily.

The brave man frowned at the refutation of his words by the thief, but he quickly relaxed, and he should not have taken it to heart.

The thief girl slapped her mouth, scolding herself for talking too much, while peeking at the sergeant next to her.

Because the soldiers were staring at her.

As a thief, she understands the other party's attitude, but she can't get used to it.

Luckily, Lily's double-ponytail drill noticed this, and she snorted, then turned her head away and glared at the soldiers.

Perhaps because of their aristocratic status, the soldiers looked away and went their own way.

"Lieutenant, we need to talk." The brave man stood up, and like most brave men, he looked young, blonde, and very handsome.

"Boch, from Baron, is there anything you need?" The officer also stood up, and although he called the young master, he didn't look respectful.

He knew very well in his heart that two of the three adventurers in front of him were from noble backgrounds, and the other was a wanted criminal, and they were the kind of people that the army hated the most, so the soldiers had a lot of opinions about them.

However, he didn't want to cause trouble for no reason, and the strict discipline requirements did not allow him to do so, so he still maintained etiquette in words.

"You are so rude, we are nobles, even if we are retinues, we are not the object of your treatment, not to mention, we are here on the orders of Marshal Anderson, at least, you should be respectful."

"I'm pretty sure that my brothers and I didn't treat you too badly, and even, we prepared tea for you, young master, you should know that the tea ration in the army is very tight now." The officer said.

"Commoners and nobles speak with honorifics." The brave said.

The officer took a deep breath: "I'm sorry, from Lord Baron, do you have any questions?" ”

"Be respectful of my entourage." The brave said.

The officer nodded: "I see." ”

Suppressing the anger in his heart, he did not continue to speak, but turned to the soldiers, and glanced at them to stop them from being so openly hostile.

The soldiers also knew that they had been reprimanded for killing the officer, so they immediately pretended not to care and withdrew their gaze.

Only the thief stopped talking, silently handling the food.

The brave man named Boqi walked back, and the blonde with two ponytails and drills was trimming her nails, and only glanced at the thief girl with a slanted eye, but she was as proud as ever, and did not speak.

The thief girl was a little afraid, and after the brave man sat down, she lowered her head and whispered, "I'm sorry, my lord." ”

"It's okay, you are a professional now, not a serf before, you have to know your own value, you are worthy of me." The noble warrior smiled and touched the thief girl's head with his hand.

He smiled warmly and spoke in a kind tone, but the thief girl trembled, didn't dare to answer, just nodded hurriedly, and continued to be busy with the food, it can be seen that her methods are very clumsy, and she shouldn't do these things often, but she can't let the two adults do it, of course, it's only her.

"How's the monster captives over there, Lily, did you ask anything?" The brave asked.

"They said they didn't know where the demon king was, and it was useless to torture him, so I took the skin off, and said I didn't know, it's really hard-mouthed." The double ponytail drill bit has a bit of a headache when it comes to this.

"What if, they really don't know?" The thief girl couldn't help but answer again.

Syllable! A slap in the face without hesitation.

The double ponytail drill bit said coldly, "I'm talking to my brother." ”

"Lily." The aristocratic brave man frowned and shouted.

The aristocratic girl did not stop, she said like a cannonball: "Brother, you are good enough for her, like this to the next person, if you want me to say, we should buy a better one, not a ......"

"That's enough." The noble brave interrupted, and it was clear that, judging by his impatient look, this was not the first time that such an argument had occurred.

Then, he turned his head and said to the thief girl, "Nana, please go and scout around, it's better to be farther away than usual." ”

"Yes, I see, sir." The thief girl bowed slightly, and then did not even eat, and quickly disappeared into the forest.

As she was leaving, she vaguely heard the kind aristocratic young master whisper in annoyance, "I've already said it!" Even if you can't scold a dog at will, why can't you understand? ”

The noble young master may think that she can't hear it if it's far away, but her skill is reconnaissance 1, and she has never told this noble young master the limit of reconnaissance 1, and the other party still thinks that this is just to strengthen the search ability, but in fact, this skill can also greatly strengthen the five senses.

She had always heard what these people thought of her, but ...... What's the solution?

The world will not accept a slave, a criminal, a young prostitute, whether these accusations are true or not, as long as people think they are true, it is true.

Both nobles and soldiers looked at her like that, and her mother said that as long as she became a professional, she could get rid of that kind of gaze...... It's all a lie.

"It's just a thief and a liar, if it weren't for you, brother...... She'd been executed a long time ago......" The voice still looms over there.

Wiping the corners of her eyes, the voice and shadow of the thief girl completely disappeared into the forest.

—————————

"What do you think?" In the depths of the forest, Lu En hid in the shadows, and even if a thief girl with reconnaissance skills ran past him, he couldn't detect the slightest trace.

This is because Kara is by his side, a week has passed, Kara's magic has recovered a little, the magic dragon has a skill level of magic 3, and the "shadow shelter" released at this time is a fairly classic spell, relying on this magic, so that Lu En can get a more perfect shelter in the night, and it is difficult to be found during the day.

Humans are so stupid that their carpet search is completely useless, but they think they are useful.

Because Lu En deliberately did not collect those remnants of the Demon King City, now his soldiers do not need so much, and the supplies are not enough to support so much, more than a hundred orcs are enough, and the rest ...... Think of it as a trophy for humanity, and unless these remnants have a professional, he won't consider continuing to collect them.

One of the important reasons why humanity is still searching for a carpet of hope is that they can find new remnants every day, and believe that the remnants are under his leadership, which makes human efforts useful and meaningful.

But beyond that, he had a gut feeling, perhaps...... Humanity's goal is not him at all?

Hearing Lu En's question, Kara tilted her head and made a serious suggestion: "Eat them?" ”

Lu En's forehead.

"Don't you see the chasm between them? I think the person who has been excluded can fight for it. He lifted his spirits and said to the dragon maid.

"But she's weak, she's useless, and besides, she's a human being." Kara was puzzled.

"What's wrong with humanity, what is the battle program?"

Lu En asked, and then he immediately replied to himself:

"It is necessary to unite all forces that can be united, and this is the fundamental strategy to ensure victory."

With that, he quietly fell to the ground and instructed Kara, "Go and be careful to lure the humans over and go to me." ”

"Yes, master." The dragon maid blinked, comprehending the meaning.
