Chapter Ninety-Six: The Witch of the North

The battle ended quickly, almost for a short time, and the group of goblins left dozens of corpses behind in disarray and fled back into the forest. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The guards of the escort team did not chase in to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, their duty was to protect the caravan, as for the clearance of these without any ability, they would only harass the goblins of the caravan, this kind of thing should be left to the army of the Dablis Mountains.

Joanna sat peacefully on the carriage, she did not participate in the previous battle, on the one hand, it was unnecessary, these goblin kings were a rabble, they would only rush out in a mess, and on the other hand, there was no tacit understanding with the guards of the caravan.

Joanna didn't think that these guards had the skills of Scrooge and Hersman, and that they could play a wonderful game with Zachary on the battlefield without even a little communication.

So Joanna didn't step forward to help the guards of the escort team, otherwise a bad one might disrupt the cooperation of the escort team.

Anyway, in Joanna's eyes, the battle ended very simply, when the group of stinking goblins rushed out of the mountains and forests, the escort team's arrows rained into a daze.

The goblins, who were still struggling to see if they could catch a few humans back to make food, collapsed directly after finally rushing to the front of the guards and crashing into the guards' merciless SF Slash.

However, they managed to bring back a few of their companions' corpses, but apparently these chaotic goblins weren't there to bury their companions' corpses, and they would only be guests in the goblin cauldron for some time to come.

After a little rest, the caravan was on the road again, the goblin attack was just a small episode, everyone didn't pay too much attention to it, such attacks are common on the continent of Faisal, because there are so many creatures like goblins and greenskinned goblins and kobolds that there are so many in the wild that no kingdom can completely rid of these weed-like creatures.

For the next few days, everything was so peaceful, there were no bandits, no powerful monsters, and of course there were several episodes like goblins, but no one paid attention to them.

until you reach the central area of the Dablis Plain.

Even though the indigenous mountain people of the Dablis Plains have lived here for thousands of years, they rarely enter the area, and the mountain people, who claim to be the sons of the eagle, regard it as the ancestral land of the Dablis eagle.

And this is also the most dangerous place in the Tablis Mountains, the ancient forest that no one has visited for many years, and the Tablis Mountain Eagle, which is a few people tall and feeds on the hunting dragons, all make this place very dangerous, even if a few trade routes pass through here, they are as far away from the center as possible.

Dusk in the mountains comes very early, and when the light of the sun god is blocked by the rising peaks of the Dablis Mountains, the dense mountain forests become very dark.

"Everybody ready to set up camp, Kippel, you take someone to collect some firewood, and get some meat back, be careful."

"Yes, Captain!"

"Hank! You take someone around and check it out, be careful. ”

"Okay!"

Arnold was very careful today, and he carefully arranged the precautions of the camp, so that all the guards cheered up and paid attention to the movements around them.

Even with everything arranged, Arnold's face was still dark, and he looked solemnly at the mountains and forests around him, which had become dark, and the black night obscured everything, making it impossible for people to see the whole picture.

He was still worried, because there were so many rumors about the area during this time, and many caravans said that they had seen strange creatures here.

These rumors made Arnold dare not let his guard down, not because he was timid, but because of his duties as the captain of the caravan guard.

After instructing his men, Arnold looked at the carriage in the center of the camp, where the owner of the caravan still did not come out, but the beautiful maid came out of the carriage and handed the remaining remnants to the guards after she had finished her dinner with her master.

Arnold only glanced at it and didn't look again, and for all this time, the woman, who was said to be the owner of the Chamber of Commerce, had remained in the carriage, maintaining the mystery of her identity.

So Arnold didn't pay much attention to it, but turned his attention to a young girl sitting quietly by the campfire.

This girl who took a caravan ride has been so quiet these days, and she will dutifully do the sentry task assigned to her, and several times in the past few days, this girl has discovered the attacks of goblins and monsters in advance.

While doing his own task, he would not intervene in the affairs of the caravan with many hands and feet, which made Arnold relax his vigilance against this girl a little.

As if sensing Arnold's gaze, the girl, who looked exceptionally beautiful in the firelight, raised her head and nodded to the captain of the caravan escort.

A hint of surprise flashed in Arnold's eyes, but he also smiled and nodded, then turned his head and continued to direct his subordinates to ignore the defense work, but he was a little surprised in his heart.

"What a keen perception."

Arnold sighed softly, then found one of the guards and whispered a few words.

Although the girl's behavior in the past few days made him feel that the other party had no malicious intentions, he felt that he had to be careful and careful in the two days before passing through the central area, so he asked a guard to keep an eye on Joanna.

Joanna sat quietly by the campfire, unconcerned about the gaze that fell on her, not to communicate with the caravan guards or disturb their work, but there was a hint of curiosity in Joanna's eyes as she swept over the carriage in the middle of the camp.

Upon seeing the lavishly decorated carriage, Joanna heard the exclamation of Zachary in the Sword of the Thorn Flower.

The witch of the northern ice field actually appeared on the Faisal continent.

Joanna has heard the story of the unborn witches who live on the northern ice fields, and legend has it that they are the descendants of the goddess of fate, a god who has fallen from ancient times, and who have the blood of the goddess and control some of the goddess's abilities, so they have been watched by the twins of fate.

Under the watchful eye of the two goddesses, these witches have always stayed quietly on the northern ice field, and never participated in the affairs of the Faisal continent, unless there were some opportunities to decide the fate of the Faisal East continent, these witches appeared in front of everyone, and then the gods babbled a prophecy.

But in the epic story, these witches are a presence to be reckoned with, appearing at the side of those who are destined to be heroic, silently watching them.

So when Zachary said that the pattern on the carriage represented the Council of Witches, Joanna's heart was full of surprise, why the witches of the north, who had been hiding from the world, would walk on the continent again. (To be continued.) )
