After last night's incident, Joanna woke up and found that her treatment had changed much better, and the guards guarding the carriage would smile and nod at her after meeting Joanna's gaze. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

If others looked at her coldly, Joanna might not have any reaction, but the stranger was so kind to her that it was a little difficult for her to adapt, and she didn't know how to deal with it, so she had to nod her head in response with a straight face.

"Whew."

After the guard looked away and continued to guard the mountain forest by the roadside, Joanna breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Not qualified, Joanna, I'm afraid you can't be the hero that Zachary said."

Joanna put her body back a little helplessly, and looked at the blue sky from the gap revealed by the mountain forest, the clear sky did not have a trace of white clouds, so clear.

The caravan was moving much faster today than it had been a few days before, and it was clear that the caravan had been frightened by yesterday's experience.

Although they did not suffer any losses like the caravan that had seen those monsters before, who could guarantee that it would be the same today and tomorrow, in that case, it was better to speed up and get out of the center of the mountain field as soon as possible.

Unfortunately, the Dablis Mountains are so large that even if the trade route was completely created by splitting mountains and crossing rivers with the help of some strong men, it would still require caravans to climb several mountains and go around the mountain plains.

Until evening, when the sky was still red with the fiery sunset, it was already dark on the trade road, and the guards had already lit the torches in their hands, but even then the mountains and forests on both sides of the road were pitch black, making it impossible to know what was going on inside.

"Rest, I can't see the road ahead clearly."

A woman's voice came from the carriage, and hearing the words of the master of the Chamber of Commerce, Arnold immediately urged his horse to the front of the group and shouted at everyone.

"Everyone stopped moving forward and drove the wagons to the side of the road and prepared camp in a circle."

All the people in the caravan were veterans who were out on the road, and they were so experienced that they didn't need Arnold's command at all, so they skillfully circled the carriage, took some precious goods down from the carriage, and began to prepare for tonight's dinner.

"Miss Joanna, can I trouble you to keep vigil again tonight?"

As Joanna had just jumped out of the carriage, Arnold walked over and bent over to Joanna with an apologetic expression.

"It's all right, Mr. Arnold."

"Thank you."

Arnold looked very careful, and after talking to Joanna, he immediately left the place and hurried to other places, instructing the guards to set up the camp in a more detailed manner.

Even so, Arnold was a little uneasy in his heart, and he didn't know why he still felt unstable in his heart.

Perhaps it was because the monster body he had seen last night had put too much pressure on him, and after seeing the tall body of the earth elves, Arnold could not believe that the camp of carriages alone could stop their attack.

"Believe what your master says, and the goblins won't attack other creatures for no reason."

Arnold shook his head and said a word of comfort to himself, which was regarded as relieving the worry in his heart, but Arnold didn't notice that his face was full of worry when he said this.

The spring evening faded away very quickly, and in just a few moments, the night fell on the earth completely, and only the light of the caravan torches lit up the surrounding area.

At this time, Joanna's caravan was located on a road that circled over the mountainside, and Joanna, who was standing guard on the carriage, could see from a distance that there were also a few fires at the foot of the mountain in the distance, which was where the other caravans were stationed.

As the main route connecting the Rainer Kingdom and the Tanif Empire, the Dablis Mountains are already a frequent caravan exchange, not to mention the war between the Rainer Kingdom and the Orc Kingdom last year, after the war, the Rainer Kingdom needs a lot of resources to restore the northern counties damaged in the war.

Merchants from other countries of the continent rushed to the kingdom of Rainer like sharks smelling blood, which also increased the number of caravans on the trade route of the Dablis Mountains.

As far as Joanna's eye could see, several fires lit up the winding trade routes.

After dinner, Joanna sat down by the campfire again, and Arnold prepared to lead the vigil himself, carefully guarding the surroundings.

The night was so quiet, and the cool mountain breeze blew slowly, making the light of the torches constantly shake, leaving a strange shadow on the ground.

Everything was so normal, until the originally pleasant sound of insects suddenly disappeared in my ears, as if something suddenly appeared in the mountains and forests, and scared those insects into making a sound.

Joanna jerked up from the ground, sword in hand, and walked to the edge of the camp, where Arnold was already standing with the guards of the Night's Watch.

"You immediately wake up the rest of the guards, put everyone on guard, and tell them to get through the night and we'll be out of the area." As Joanna walked to the carriage at the edge of the camp, Arnold was instructing a guard to wake up the others.

"Miss Joanna, it's the same as last night, and those monsters are going to appear again.

"No, something is wrong."

As soon as Arnold's words fell, Joanna immediately denied it, I don't know why she felt that the atmosphere tonight was even more depressing than last night, but when she asked Zachary, Zachary didn't give a little answer, because he said that in case of a situation, unless it was between life and death, Zachary would not help, and it happened that Joanna also wanted to hone herself and agreed.

So this time, it's up to Joanna to decide on her own.

Hearing Joanna say this, Arnold couldn't help but feel shocked in his heart and raised his head to look at Joanna.

"Miss Joanna, do you feel the same way, I feel that way too, it doesn't seem to be my delusion."

Arnold's face was gloomy in the light of the torches, and he had been comforting himself with rumors that no one had been attacked, until he knew that Joanna had a feeling of eye contact with him.

"It's too quiet around, far more dead than last night, and the earth goblins don't have such power."

As Joanna spoke, she had already drawn her long sword in her hand, staring at the mountains and forests at the edge of the camp with big eyes.

Seeing Joanna's movements, Arnold also immediately asked his guards to prepare for battle.

Then, a terrible scream came from the foot of the mountain in the distance, and Joanna and Arnold knew when they heard it that things were different from last night.
