Chapter 328: The Hunter's Dereliction of Duty

"Now you know you're scared, right? But you don't have to worry too much, I haven't heard that anyone in the team of the head of the regiment is going to quit" Seeing that Li Ran showed a trace of solemnity, Zhao Lanlan thought that Li Ran was really worried, so she hurriedly relieved.

Li Ran frowned slightly, and after thinking for a long time, he understood what Zhao Lanlan meant, and simply pretended to be very worried and asked, "Then what if the prestige of the head of the regiment increases, and there is one more group?" ”.

"What you said is not impossible, but you don't have to worry too much, the head of the regiment just asked the management department casually, a team like him that can already lead twelve people, and it is not so simple to think of one more group, even if it is possible, the main group is so good than Wu Tongtong, you can rest assured!" was said by Li Ran, Zhao Lanlan couldn't help but beat a little drum in her heart.

"Okay, I'll go to work after eating, see you another day!" Pushed away the tableware in front of him, Li Ran looked at Zhao Lanlan and said.

Zhao Lanlan chewed the flower roll in her mouth and nodded, and Li Ran turned around and left the restaurant.

Looking at Li Ran's figure disappearing into the restaurant, Zhao Lanlan slightly revealed her girlish nature, and said with a wrinkle on her nose: "Hmph, just go, this guy doesn't know how to wait for this girl!" I still have a lot of questions to ask, what about the two classes of his apprentices? ”

"Lord! You're finally here, and the brutes are here again! As soon as he entered the third world, Li Ran heard Dagenai's slightly hurried voice.

Li Ran, who came back to his senses, frowned, looked at the unusually burly Da Gnai and asked, "Do you see clearly that it was the last batch of brute bulls?" ”

Dagenai thought about it and nodded very affirmatively and said, "It will definitely not be wrong, there are several wild cows with very unique coat colors. I remember it very clearly! ”

Immediately let Dagenai lead the way, and Li Ran followed closely behind and asked, "Is there any change in the number this time?" ”

Dagenai, who was leading the way in front, replied without looking back: "The number has not changed much, no matter how many there are, it is only a dozen, or a few hundred." It's just that this time the mood seems to be more excited than last time, and the initiative to attack and hurt a few of our villagers who went out to pick wild fruits, one of them is too seriously injured to be saved, this is not I was rushing to the village hall and was about to call you, you appeared! ”

After hearing Dagenai's words, Li Ran's heart couldn't help but speed up, and it only took dozens of minutes for the two of them to rush to the log city wall located in the east.

"How's it going?" Seeing the arrival of the lord, many people gathered around. In addition to Li Ran's own personal guard, it also includes two first-class divisions, Sanchez and Worthen. As for the orc captain Tulga, he saluted Li Ran from afar on the sentry platform. When he saw that the old village chief Morga and Doric were also coming, Li Ran looked at the two and asked.

It can be seen that the old village chief Morga was also very anxious at this time, seeing Li Ran's arrival. His face softened slightly, and when he heard Li Ran's inquiry, he immediately replied: "In order not to irritate this group of brute cattle, I have asked all the villagers who went out to retreat, but these brute bulls still seem to be unwilling to leave!" ”

Li Ran nodded and asked, "Good job." Have all the troops in the village come over? ”

The old village chief Morgarn sighed and said: "In addition to your sulfur steel golem and soldiers, all the remaining twenty-seven hunters in the village have also come, and I have also organized more than seventy young men to stand by in the square and the sentry post, and if there is a battle, they can be put into battle immediately!" ”

After a while. When he found Li Ran frowning slightly as he looked at the young man in the square and on the sentry tower, Doric immediately stood up and explained, "Lord Lord. Don't look at these villagers, they usually only gather and farm, but once they are in battle. They are in no way weaker than an ordinary warrior! They also want to fight for it to defend their homeland."

As if to prove Doric's words, his words did not fall, and the branch shouted two sentences in unison with the young and middle-aged villagers on the sentry post around the square, and the sound was quite imposing.

Think about it, the villagers who can survive the battle map, the one who has not experienced many battles, especially the villagers in this village, most of them are the children of the mercenary group of Morga and Doric, who have not practiced a few hands since childhood, and there are some weapons and armor at home that can defend themselves, which can also be seen from the assembly on their bodies. Although some of the things look a little shabby, the mottled marks on them can also show the heroic posture of their owners in the past.

Thinking of this, Li Ran's slightly frowning brows gradually calmed down a lot, although he didn't want to see the villagers go into battle, but at the moment his own strength was really limited, plus most of these villagers had good skills, according to the words of the orc captain Tulga, the strength of these villagers was around the fifth or sixth order, and having these dozens of people was a big help.

At this moment, Li Ran turned around and shouted towards the square: "As your lord!" It is a remiss of my duty to fail to protect you so that you can live with peace of mind. I feel very guilty that you are now being asked to take up arms to protect me, and allow me to express my sincerest apologies to you! ”

The sudden shouting was mixed with the lord's unique amplification effect, and Li Ran's voice instantly spread throughout the entire square. There was a suffocating silence around him.

After a while, the villagers reacted and said that they didn't blame him, but Li Ran stretched out his hand to stop the noisy square, and shouted in a higher tone: "And as your lord, I hereby assure you that no matter what happens, my soldiers and I will protect you to the death!" ”

"Nonono !!!" With the sound of a young and even somewhat immature voice, a rhythmic shout sounded on the square, this is the villagers are expressing their excitement and loyalty to their lord, the somewhat oppressive atmosphere that was previously surrounded by wild cattle disappeared in an instant, and the air was filled with a strong war spirit.

"Master Doric, please let them open the door!" Just when the old village chiefs, Morga and Doric, were surprised by the changes in the villagers, Li Ran's next words startled them again.

Dorik, who was dressed in a short cloth robe, stared at Li Ran and asked, "Honorable lord, what are you doing here?" The emotions of the bulls outside are more excited now, I think it's better not to provoke them for the time being! ”

Li Ran smiled, looked at Doric and Morga and said, "Both of them used to be mercenaries, and I believe they also have some understanding of the habits of wild bulls, so why do you think this group of wild bulls appeared here three times and twice?" ”

Doric and Morga looked at each other for a while, thought for a long time, and then looked at Li Ran in horror and said, "What do you mean?" This group of brutes has come to see our troops? There's a huge herd of brute cattle in the back? ”

Li Ran pondered for a while and said: "The wild bull is like a midge, and its invasion is like fire. When a large herd of brute cattle marches, there will always be a lot of scattered squads outside, and once they encounter the object they like, they will be followed by an overwhelming herd of brute cattle. Now is the time when the grass is not renewed, and the granaries of small villages like ours are their favorite targets. Although I don't want to admit this kind of thing, this possibility does exist, and I'm afraid that if we don't wipe out this herd of brute cattle, the next thing we will face is a huge herd of brute cattle! ”

When Li Ran said this, the faces of several people around him were already earthy, and even the most powerful leader of the Zereramo orcs was silent at this time. For any creature, a scattered herd of hundreds of brutes is definitely a desperate existence for all creatures.

"Damn it! How do you patrol the sentry! In order not to affect the rustic spirit of the others, the old village chief Morga desperately suppressed his anger and fear, and roared angrily in a low voice.

The leader of the hunters did not plead at this time, but only bowed his head to bear Morga's anger, his face full of remorse, and the thought of putting the whole village in danger because of his dereliction of duty made him sweat even more.

Stretching out his hand to stop Morga's scolding, Li Ran said softly: "Don't worry first, it's just a guess on my part right now." Complaining is not what we are going to do now. We can't let a herd of brutes that have tried to attack us several times, whether they mean it or not, whether they have a surprising number of brutes behind them, and we can't let them go anymore, that will only put our villagers out in danger! Do you have any comments? ”

At this time, the few people standing around were Li Ran's personal guards, and they naturally had no opinion on the master's decision, and the old village chief Morga and Doric only nodded at this time, as for the two ** divisions Sanchez and Worthen, as well as the orc captain Tulga, they also expressed their support for Li Ran after looking at each other, in addition to Li Ran's previous performance that satisfied them, it can also be seen that the prestige of the mage tower master Kunai Soyd is still quite good!
