"Dain, are you alright?!" Sacco stepped forward and asked. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Dane said, "What can I do?" Why did you guys get here? ”

"Just now, we heard a particularly violent tremor from the east in the camp, and we don't know what happened, but we are all very relieved to be able to take care of you, so I brought some people over to take a look. Over there...... What's going on? ”

Dane knew, of course, what Sacco was talking about about the Enemy's shocks, but he wasn't going to explain them in detail.

Seeing Sacco's curious look, Dane thought about it and decided to take him to see it. He said, "I've found something very amazing over there, so bring someone with me." ”

So, he returned to Orinedu with Sacco and more than twenty mercenaries.

There is no doubt that such a behemoth shocked a group of dirt buns who had never seen the world.

"The Lord is above...... It's a miracle! Sacco was even half-kneeling on the ground, chanting the name of the Holy Lord. Although he has been reduced to a mercenary, he has never forgotten his former knighthood. According to his own words, he was a knight from one of the three major empires in the middle of the continent, the Holy Teresan Empire, and a follower of the Holy Lord Fran. As for why a follower of the Holy Lord Fran, a knight, would become a mercenary, it is unknown, and he himself never mentioned it.

Dane looked at their shocked faces and laughed rather wickedly. He said, "Now, this tree, and the tree that is being built, are ours!" Those blue elves - oh, I'm talking about the orb of light - are my subordinates too, and now, our job is to protect this place! ”

Dane had planned to go back and bring some people over to protect the Tree of Life. He happened to run into Sacco halfway, so he didn't have to run the rest of the way.

Directly let the two mercenaries go back to the Ghost Knife Harbor and report the situation to Golobo, Tommy and Delin who stayed in the Ghost Knife Harbor. As for himself and Sacco, there are still twenty or so mercenaries left, who are ready to keep vigil here today.

Fortunately, Sacco came out this time, brought some water and food, and only spent the night so that he would not go hungry.

……

I have to say that Dane's previous concerns were quite reasonable. The sudden rise of a tall and huge tree of life on an otherwise barren island must be quite eye-catching, and it will definitely attract a large number of monsters to attack.

In the case of knowing that there will be monsters on the island, a vigil is essential. Otherwise, the tree of life, which has no ability to defend itself, can uproot the rising capital of Dane with just a few elves and a few random monsters.

Sure enough, not long after the night fell, the first wave of attacks came. When some voices appeared outside the field, Dane became alert. He woke everyone from their slumber, and instead of making a rash choice, he chose the safer way: standing by the side of the Tree of Life, Orinedu, waiting for the arrival of the enemy.

The only thing he was worried about now was whether there would be too many enemies. At this moment, the only people who were with him and guarded Orinedu with him were Sacco and the mercenaries of the two squads. The total number is only twenty-five or sixteen, and if there is a large army of more than thirty of the Faceless Ones that we encountered during the landing, the situation will become very serious.

Fortunately, such an unfortunate thing did not really happen. The number of enemies did reach more than thirty, but it was not the Faceless Ones seen earlier, but a pack of black-skinned hairless hyenas.

This hyena is a little larger than the hyena that can be seen all year round in the yellow earth of Sindlaire, but it is not particularly difficult to deal with. At the very least, a well-trained mercenary can definitely take out one-on-one heads-up. Especially now, when the number of mercenaries has reached more than twenty, it is enough to form a battle formation to fight against those hyenas. And those black-skinned hyenas obviously don't have enough intelligence to crack the human battle array.

After a rough estimate, Dane was relieved. In this battle, he was sure to win it under the premise of very low damage.

The hyenas were apparently not particularly intelligent, as Dane had expected. With instinctive greed and cunning, they surrounded the heavily armed human mercenaries, occasionally baring a mouthful of white fangs and occasionally letting out a low roar as a threat. They instinctively felt that these armored humanoid creatures they had never seen before were not easy to deal with, but for these creatures with hot blood in their bodies, they had an instinctive greed, as if a dog had seen a bone, and wanted to pounce on it and bite it.

In the beginning, hyenas can also suppress their greed. But as time dragged on, the instinct of desire broke through their lack of reason. When the first hyena charged at the mercenaries, the hyenas behind them pounced one after another.

"Hooked! I know you brutes can't help it! Hahaha! Dane laughed and raised his sword, and without much effort, he slashed the first hyena that rushed forward.

With the personal demonstration of the regiment commander, the mercenaries also fought bravely to kill the enemy one by one. The Dread Mercenaries are a team that can run rampant in the southeast of Sindelare, and they have a level of discipline and training that most mercenary groups don't have. During the battle, there was no such confusion as is usually the case with mercenary groups. Even if the momentum is high, the opponent is not a strong enemy, they still maintain a tight battle formation, form a group, and cover each other to kill those hyenas.

The advantage of the mercenary team over the black-skinned hyena is overwhelming. A single mercenary may only be able to take out one hyena one-on-one, but when there is discipline and tacit cooperation, it is of course natural to gain an advantage in the face of stupid monsters who don't know what cooperation is. Especially when Sacco, who has a knightly profession that is extremely rare among mercenaries, is shouting 'Courage is always with me!' After that, a power from within them surged into the limbs, making the mercenaries more capable of fighting the enemy.

This is precisely the role of the knight class, which not only has good combat effectiveness in itself, but also has a very strong ability to boost morale and enhance the combat effectiveness of friendly troops. It's a pity that the strength level of the wandering knight Sacco is still a little low, and although the effect of 'Courage Boost' is not bad, he has not mastered other stronger abilities.

However, this is enough. After swearing his oath, Sacco joined the battle with his sword and shield on his shoulder. Soon, what should have been a close battle turned into a one-sided slaughter.
