The night town that Malone saw in the game was a scary place; There are ogres, werewolves, Defia bandits, evil mages, stitchers and undead.
In the current night town, all this should not have appeared yet, but Marlon wants to confirm his idea, and he will have to wait for a while.
Almost just after the river crossing, Marlon and Airro? Eberlock's refugee contingent was in trouble.
The beast has become a big problem for the team to move forward.
A team of nearly three hundred people, counting some baggage, this team is not long, but it is not short, and a dozen Xiquan garrisons are not enough to protect the safety of this team.
Despite Airero? Eberlock and Malone had done their best to keep the group of refugees compact, but in the face of constant harassment from wild beasts, the soldiers of the Westspring garrison frequently ran around the sides of the group, and finally they were unable to stop the fellows completely.
"Are you alright?"
Error? Eberlock asked with concern as he crouched beside a young man.
"Also...... Ok......"
The man replied, though the frowning brow and the shaking body betrayed his true feelings.
"The wound is no longer bleeding, but it hurts...... I can only endure it. ”
Error? Eberlock stood up and pressed the young man's shoulder.
"It's okay, Daddy Error, I can bear this pain......"
The young man struggled to his feet, supported by his companions. Gritted his teeth.
"That's good, that's good......"
Error? Eberlock muttered a few words, then turned around. At a glance saw Marlon and Paul, and of course, his daughter Althea? Eberlock follows Malone like a fart, Elro? Eberlock was used to it.
"Fortunately, the spider didn't have time to inject venom, and his leg was saved."
Error? Eberlock said to Malone.
"That's a blessing......
Malone said.
Not so long ago, when the ranks of refugees were advancing. A large, silvery-white spider emerged from its underground nest, picked the hapless young man, and bit him on the thigh.
Luckily. A soldier of the Xiquan garrison was nearby, and with a single sword, he severed the junction between the spider's chest and abdomen, and the dark green body/fluid sprayed everywhere, but now it seems. His actions were undoubtedly successful.
"It's a dangerous place...... Maybe my suggestion is wrong. It would be safer for us to travel on the other side of the river. ”
Malone said with some guilt.
During the game, Malone has seen this giant spider more than once, but it is only when he sees it with his own eyes, albeit just a corpse, that he truly realizes the horror of this hunting animal.
With huge pointed jaws, legs full of barbs and sharp spines, bulging abdomen with strange eye-like patterns, and those disgusting green juices that smell like this, Malone never imagined that such a small spider would be so terrifying when enlarged.
This giant spider is terrifying as it is. But not the only predator in the twilight forest; Marlon and others have also encountered lone bears and wolves in packs. Strange screams about to snatch a child from the refugee team, but is shot down by Paul's crossbow arrow, and is about to become a giant falcon for dinner.
After facing these difficulties, Malone couldn't help but begin to doubt whether the judgment he had made was accurate.
"Don't say that, these beasts, as terrible as they are, are better than orcs."
Error? Eberlock said comforting Malone.
"Marlon, how far are we from Nighttown?"
Althea asked cautiously as she followed behind Malone.
Despite her lively personality, Althea is a girl after all, and she has no resistance to anything like spiders.
Just seeing the corpse of the giant spider and the green body/fluid already made Althea a little distracted; It is conceivable that if the spider had chosen this girl as its prey, the others would have had no time to react, and she would have been scared to death.
Fearing that more spiders would emerge from the woods or underground, Althea wished that the team would be able to "swish" to Nightlight and avoid the spiders.
"It may be a few more days, you see, it's completely dark here...... Let's find a safe place to rest first. ”
Malone answered Althea's question.
"How many more days? But ......"
The thought of that terrible spider made Althea's heart beat a drum, and the feeling of wanting to fight the orcs to the death on the battlefield was completely gone.
"I'm going to find Richard, it's so dark, it will take a lot of time to tell everyone to stop and prepare for camp."
Error? Eberlock nodded, and turned to walk towards the front of the group.
"Malone, I'm a little scared of ......"
Malone had planned to continue to patrol the front and back of the team to see if there were any beasts that were about to move, but Althea suddenly stopped him.
Turning around, Marlon looked at the pitiful look on Althea's face, and couldn't help but feel funny - this girl shouted that she was going to fight the orcs before crossing the river, right?
"Then follow me, and if any beasts dare to come out, I will kill them."
Malone smiled at Althea, then patted her on the shoulder.
"Oh......"
Althea nodded subconsciously, I don't know why, after listening to Ma Long's promise, her nervous mood suddenly became relieved.
If...... can just follow Marlon all the time...... Even if it's a big spider or something, it doesn't matter, right?
Closely following Marlon, looking at his burly back under the heavy armor, Althea thought secretly in her heart.
Soon, Error? Eberlock and Richard the Bearded chose a place to camp for the night, and the refugees gathered together to move their baggage and tents to the camp, and because of the peculiarities of the Twilight Forest, they had added a row of wooden fences outside the camp tonight.
"Be extra careful tonight, Uncle Richard will be keeping vigil with us with some men, and everyone be vigilant not to let those beasts come near our camp."
Malone said to Paul.
In the coming evening, the Westspring garrison, along with a few young men selected by the bearded Richard, will take turns keeping vigil at the edge of the camp to prevent the beasts from crossing the fence to attack the refugees in the camp.
"I see, Chief Lothar...... By the way, Sir Lothar, who are you in the camp with? ”
Paul nodded his head to acknowledge that he understood, and then asked curiously. (To be continued.) )
