The journey from Twilight to the Spotted Axe Forest is not too far, and the messengers of the Lumberwood Village can rush to the city from the edge of the forest overnight to ask for help, which means that adventurers on this urgent mission can also reach the village built on the southern edge of the Spotted Axe Forest in a day, and the only possible variable on the way is the weather in the Okazawa area since the beginning of spring.

Fortunately, although there was light rain on the afternoon of the 30th day of the snowmelt month, the rain was not a cause for concern.

As the gates of Twilight City shrink and disappear at the end of the view, the roads outside the city change from flat to potholes, the amount of farmland near it gradually decreases, and the wild grass and trees begin to appear in the field of vision.

Urs sat in front of the flatbed carriage and controlled the horses, and although the 5 riding skills in his character attribute were not enough to make him more proficient in horse combat, he inadvertently provided him with a part-time coachman experience.

The old thief Gloriden was on the other side of the front seat of the carriage, resting his sour tooth crossbow flat on his lap, and his armor had been replaced by a new piece of hard leather armor before he set off.

Thea, Jay, and Stonefist sat on the pallet behind the carriage. Although the silver-haired and white-robed wolf-eared priest girl is not good at hand-to-hand combat, she still has a jet-black light mace pinned to her waist, which can be used for self-protection in an emergency according to what Urs told her before leaving, anyway, the improvised weapon of the mace does not require too much strength and skill from the user.

Miss Drow Poet from the Dark Lands still wears her large black robe with a hood, covering her lute instrument and +1 pair of knives under her robe. The Bard's class nature of being able to cast spells makes it important for her to consider the effect of armor and armor on the success rate of spellcasting.

The tall and sturdy Orc Warrior Monk does not need the so-called armor to protect his body at all, because the Warrior Monk's training not only gives him superior hand-to-hand combat ability, but also his extraordinary alertness allows him to subconsciously dodge enemy attacks - this ability to dodge is especially good at dodging, which is reflected in the game that the Warrior Monk's defense is rewarded with various bonuses in terms of perception attributes and class characteristics. As they level up, high-level warrior monks can even use a power called "qi" in their bodies to perfect their fighting skills.

In addition to the five-person team on the young man's side, the other scattered adventurers also drove their own carriages to follow behind the three adventure groups of Koumbu, Shaved Blade, and Hummingbird.

The leaders of the three adventuring groups of Orichalcum, Shaved Blade, and Hummingbird openly denounced Dambert's arrogance during the morning assembly, and they also led the team on this urgent mission.

It's just that when they go out on missions, the adventure party in Twilight City usually doesn't send out all the members of the group, after all, even if you don't take into account the problem that the newcomers in the group are not suitable for difficult combat missions, the stronghold buildings they purchased in the city need to be divided into a group of people to stay behind.

The Thorn Adventure Troupe's full crew trip to Rass' Canyon eight years ago was actually a rare one.

But even so, the above three adventure groups participating in this emergency mission still sent three small and medium-sized teams composed entirely of core members of the group, and the number of people in each group including their heads was about fifteen, so that ordinary wild monsters such as goblins or jackals would not pose a threat to the adventurers who were hurrying, but would also take the initiative to avoid everyone's actions.

Although monsters in the wild often attack passing travelers, the most basic biological nature of bullying the weak and fearing the hard is still engraved in their bones. Leaders of a monster race usually don't lead their people into challenging a large team that is difficult to deal with, unless the monster race's food reserves are depleted to the point of collapse.

All in all, the adventurers were not hindered by anything noteworthy, and finally reached the southern edge of the Spotted Axe Forest in the evening, and entered the village under the pre-arranged pick-up procedures of a small group of village guards.

The environment of the logging village was filled with the humidity after the rain, and the humid air was mixed with a few wisps of rancid and bloody smell, and as adventurers walked into the village along the path under their feet, they could see the corpses of beasts and men, as well as broken armor and weapons on the ground around them.

According to the villagers, the team of guards sent by Twilight City early in the morning immediately broke out into a battle with the attacking monsters this afternoon, and many of the wounded guards were resting in the village inn at this time. The adventurers and the guards arrived at the village at a staggered time, otherwise they would have been able to catch the battle.

This news quietly relieved some of the scattered adventurers who came here purely speculatively.

Due to the limited size of the branch hall of the Twilight Adventurers' Association in the logging village, the adventurers who participated in this mission finally gathered in a clearing in the village, and an old man in his sixties then appeared in everyone's sight holding a wooden cane under the protection of two guards.

The old man's name was Gezi Toranck, and he was the head of the association's branch and the head of the village in the logging village. There was a rumor among adventurer circles in Twilight that he had been a powerful adventurer in the past, until the knee of his left leg was struck by an arrow from a dastardly kobold archer during a combat mission in the past.

The old village chief, Gaiqi's left foot, did look a little inconvenient when he walked with his cane.

Soon after, he walked to the front of the group and stopped, and although the number of adventurers in his eyes was a little strange at first, he was finally a little relieved when he saw Carlos Loew, a mage man with a beard, Sawa Shortboots, a short and agile halfling, and Ekarila Lin Shadow, a half-elf female ranger with a compound longbow, and thought that the three regular adventure groups of Oticula Blade, Shaved Edge, and Hummingbird, which were also relatively famous in Twilight City, were still here.

As for the number of adventurers, he thought that there might be some accident in this, and then looked at the people in front of him and cleared his throat, took a deep breath and raised his arm to signal everyone to be quiet first, and then spoke: "You adventurers in Twilight City, the current situation in the Logging Village must have been heard by the Guild Headquarters. The village at your feet is under the threat of the Monster, and we need everyone's help to resist the Monster's onslaught, and to find out the cause of the Monster's appearance as much as possible in this difficult process. ”

"Next, I will provide you with further detailed information about this incident to facilitate your plan of action after coming here......"
