That night, inside the hotel.

A figure came to a room and stood still, then stretched out his hand and knocked on the door.

"Please come in." Luna Maria's voice can be heard from inside the house.

Someone pushed the door in.

Luna Maria was not wearing her armor, but was dressed in a light muslin garment, with a towel in her hand and water stains on her short hair, apparently fresh from bathing.

"Ah, it's Lessa. What, is the patrol over? Luna Maria asked, putting down the towel in her hand when she saw the comer.

Ressa, whose full name is 'Resa Barre', is the other leader of the two Rogge Knights who escorted the Kidd caravan this time. Due to her reticent nature, Luna Maria was responsible for all of her dealings with the caravans. Lessa, on the other hand, is responsible for specific guard patrol duties and combat missions. However, although Lesa is a quiet person and seems to be unsophisticated, her strength is very strong. One year younger than Luna Maria, she and Luna Maria are both mid-level and high-ranking fighters, but only two or three levels lower in the subtle ranks.

Lesa didn't say anything to Luna Maria's question, just nodded, then turned around and closed the door and went into the room to find a seat to sit down. Looking at Luna Maria, there was a hint of inquiry in her eyes.

“…… You want to ask me what I think of Li Xiang and the others, right? "Having been a colleague of Lesa for many years, Luna Maria naturally knows the character of this comrade best. As soon as she saw Lysa's expression, Luna Maria understood what she wanted to ask.

Resa nodded,

Luna Maria let out a breath, pondered for a moment, and then shook her head, "I can't see through it." ”

Resa looked at Luna Maria with confusion in her eyes.

Luna Maria explained, "They claim to be freelance mercenaries, but they show more of a demeanor in words and deeds than a group of young ladies from a large family. They seem to be very jerky in battle, and they don't seem to be good at life-and-death fighting, but the martial arts and magic they display are amazingly powerful, and I have never seen them before. What's more, I don't know if you noticed the fight with the thieves a few days ago, many of them seemed to have a lot of scruples when they killed the thieves, and almost everyone vomited afterwards, completely looking like they were killing for the first time. Everything they show can be described as contradictory, but one thing is certain that they can never be mercenaries, and the identity and origin explained to Meiling before are fake. ”

Lesa frowned.

"Don't worry too much." Seeing Lysa's unkind face, Luna Maria continued, "Although they lied about their identity, I can be sure that they have no ill will towards us. I think they may be the descendants of some declining aristocracy who had to enter the mercenary industry to make a living. ”

If Li Xiang and the others could hear Luna Maria's speculation, they would be surprised. Thinking that the absolute secret that everyone is a time-traveler, Luna Maria's speculation about the origin of the people can be said to be similar to the origin of the people on Earth and the current situation in the world of Iber.

"In short, they are a group of people that we can win over to the Rogge Knights." Luna Maria said to Raissa, "The situation of Lord Kasha is not optimistic now, and we need to seek all the forces that can be allies to help. I feel that Li Xiang and his party will be the best allies to help us. ”

Seeing that Luna Maria had made a decision, Lesa silently nodded in support. Luna Maria chuckled with relief when she saw that her best friend agreed with her.

"Okay, it's getting late, let's rest early. I'm going to have to hurry tomorrow. ”

At the same time, in another large room of the hotel.

Li Xiang and his entourage lived in this big house. This room was originally used by the hotel as a shop to receive individual guests for temporary rest, but at this time, it was rented by Li Xiang and others as a residence for everyone. At this time, more than 30 people crowded the big house, and since there were no outsiders, everyone could talk about some hidden topics without any scruples, or use the storage space with a lot of daily necessities.

Of course, the necessary vigilance is also essential. The 'sentry guards' arranged by Han Jing in the corridor outside the door and in the open space outside the window are the best sentinels.

By a window, Li Xiang, Yang Qianyu, Fu Bin and several other companions sat opposite each other.

"What is certain now is that killing and injuring the natives in a battle with the natives does not gain energy accumulation." Fu Bin said while holding a cup full of hot water.

"In other words, the humans of this world are like neutral non-combat NPC units killed in the game to us?" Li Xiang asked: "Whether they are hostile to us subjectively or objectively?" ”

"It can be understood that way." Fu Bin nodded.

Yang Qianyu rubbed the rim of the cup in his hand and said slowly: "Actually, it's okay, since you don't gain 'experience' in the fight with humans, I believe that everyone will not be keen on killing people." Although killing is inevitable in this world, it is better not to kill your own kind if you can do it - of course, I mean not to kill on your own initiative, and if the other party wants to be our enemy, it is still not soft. Yang Qianyu then emphasized.

Silent.

"Today...... When everyone watched the slaughter of thieves by the Rogge Knights, there seemed to be no uncomfortable reflection. Li Xiang looked at the enthusiastic chatting or laughing companions in the room, and sighed in a low voice.

"Yes," Yang Qianyu also sighed. "Who would have thought that we, who would have been scared to see the bloody corpses of humans a few days ago, would still be in the mood to laugh and play after a bloody killing?"

"Habit...... It's really a terrible thing......" Fu Bin sighed.

"Who's to say it's not......"

……

Next.

The convoy left the city of Surensola and continued its journey, by which time the people were already in the heart of the southern city-state of Tristram, the roads between the cities had been repaired, and the wheels of the carriages were rolling with a 'creaking' sound on the gravel paved roads.

Several Rog Knights sergeants scattered as scouts to reconnoiter the front of the procession. Although this is a march within the hinterland of the human city-state, the necessary precautions are still in place. After all, humans are not a strong race on the Iber continent, even in the hinterland of the safest city-states, there are some dangerous alien races or monsters, not to mention the existence of many bandits.

However, fortunately, the route traveled by the team was the main road between the cities in the city-state, and the bandits along the way had already been cleared by the local lords, and a large number of alien races or demonic beasts would not operate in this area. So even though it's still not very safe, you don't have to be as scared as you are walking in a 'lawless place'.

A few days later, the convoy left the area of County Surensola and came to the territory of County Misoda. When you get here, you can only get to your destination, Breitnia, the main city of Breitnia. As the road safety increased as it moved deeper into the hinterland of the city-state, the safety of the roads was greatly increased, and everyone did not have to be on the highest alert at all times, and the atmosphere in the convoy was naturally much more relaxed.

The day lasted until near noon, when the convoy stopped halfway to rest and make meals.

Just as lunch was ready, a sergeant of the Rog Knights, who had gone out to investigate, rode back.

"Lord Luna Maria, there's a group of demonic beasts fighting about a kilometer to the east." The rider rolled over and dismounted, and walked quickly to Luna Maria's side, panting.

"Warcraft melee? How many? Luna Maria asked in a deep voice as she picked up the water bag and handed it to the soldier.

The rider took the water bag and poured it several times before he continued: "It seems to be a group of demon wolves, and the creatures surrounding it are two strong monsters with a physique of more than three meters. ”

Luna Maria listened thoughtfully.

The Demon Wolf is the most abundant population of wolf monsters on the Iber Continent, and its population is distributed all over the continent. They are ferocious and aggressive, but they are fast-moving, stealthy, well-organized, and cooperative. This makes them a cruel predator, and any creature that dares to invade their territory will be torn to shreds.

However, the strange thing is that this is already the hinterland area of the city-state, and the army of the nobles here will definitely clean up these fierce beasts and monsters around it regularly, so it is really strange that there is a large group of monsters like this now.

"What creatures are the wolves fighting against?" Luna Maria asked, frowning slightly.

"It's too far away to see clearly." The rider replied, "The terrain is open, and I don't dare to get too close to them for fear of alarming them." ”

Luna Maria thought for a moment, then shouted to the sergeants beside her, "There are hordes of demonic beasts around!" Raise your vigilance! Watch out for Warcraft attacks! ”

With her order, the sergeants and caravan guards who had been in a resting state began to stand guard, and the coachmen and servants of the convoy also packed up their cooking tools and loaded their carts, preparing to set off for shelter at the slightest mistake.

Li Xiang and the others also stepped forward to ask what was going on.

"There's a large herd of demonic beasts nearby...... Luna Maria briefly recounted the situation.

Everyone looked at each other when they heard this.

"Shall we go and see what kind of creature it is?" Li Xiang suddenly proposed.

"This ......," Luna Maria hesitated.

"It shouldn't hurt to take a look." Yang Qianyu also said: "Anyway, we are also resting, so it should be nothing to take a look by the way." ”

"But the convoy guards ......," Luna Maria was embarrassed.

"Don't worry." Yang Qianyu comforted: "Isn't it also to observe the movements of that group of demonic beasts to ensure the safety of the convoy during its rest?" What's more, the distance is not far, and if there is any situation in the convoy, as long as the signal is given, we can quickly return to help. ”

"Okay then." Luna Maria couldn't think of any good reason to refuse, so she could only agree, "Go and monitor the movements of those monsters." If only they didn't get closer to the convoy. If you get close, drive them away or destroy them. ”

"Okay."

After the traversers agreed, they packed up and went to the incident area in the eastern location.
