Section 12: Moonlight (1)

There was nothing to do all night, which made Marin a little regretful, originally he had prepared a hundred ways to die for the attackers, the entire second floor from the atrium on the roof to the corridor was full of all kinds of traps, or it could break people's bones, or it could cause very serious injuries and life was better than death, if there was a jungle, Marlin could also make a press-type nail board, and the nails on it were all silver and lead.

But when you think about it, peace is always a blessing.

So he packed the trap and repaired the wall, and Marin and the girls went downstairs, said goodbye to the shopkeeper, and got into the carriage.

The mercenaries had already prepared, and the dwarf thanked Marin once more - his legs were completely unrecognizable when he walked.

Marin responded with a smile and told him that in order to heal his injury, it was better for him to walk less recently.

Before leaving, Marin went to the caravan to take another look at the wounded he had treated, and after making sure that the wounds were well healed, Marin said goodbye to the two wounded and returned to the convoy with their thanks.

"You're merciful." The middle-aged male captain said to Marin.

"Mercenaries like you, I'll do my best to help." Marin replied, taking the vial that the dwarf had thrown at him, "Old Iron Fist, what is this?" ”

"It's dwarven spirits! The best Iron Fist can give you! The old dwarf replied loudly.

Marin wanted to give it back to him, but considering that the dwarf had a good face, and the strength of the liquor was no different from the disinfectant, he smiled and accepted it: "Thank you, old Iron Fist." ”

"You're welcome, Young Master Marlin, you have the blood of a frost giant, you will definitely like such a strong drink, the man in the north just wants to drink a big glass and eat meat!" The dwarf finished speaking in one breath and gave a thumbs up.

Marlin's face was full of question marks, have you ever seen a giant frost man who looks like an elf cub tall, skinny?

………………

The rest of the trip was uneventful, and the further east he went, the hotter the weather became, which allowed Marin to finally be sure that the weather at Fort Carter was indeed related to the chaos of the north, as everyone said.

By the fourth day, the girls in the convoy had changed into light summer clothes, because they were not going out on an outing, everyone was wearing long pants and shirts, which made Marin realize that her sister's body shape was usually hidden by the robes...... I didn't even gain weight.

Sure enough, the girl said that she was fat, usually the same as the man said that he was honest, and they were each other's best fraudulent arts.

But then again, Maya looks slim, but that tail is really amazing, and it reminds Marin of the downstairs wildcat he once raised.

Although they are unruly, when Marin wants to masturbate, they are still willing to let Marlin masturbate well.

Maya is the same, freed from the shackles of her robe, the little leopard's favorite thing is the roof blanket and the warm afternoon sun, and then every time she sleeps, she hangs her tail around the neck of Marin, who sits at the front of the car.

Please, my silly sister, it's hot for you to surround my brother like this.

Although he thought so in his heart, Marin still smiled - who made this tail soft and easy to touch, sometimes Faye would come and rush to touch it, and at this time, Marin always felt like a lucky person who fell into a honeypot.

It's like all the misfortunes before have been compensated, and it's amazing.

………………

"Honey, I shouldn't have called Marin over, I only have one treasure for you, and he's five times as big as mine!" Rogan sat in the third carriage, looking at the scenery on the roof in front of him, and couldn't help but complain to his girlfriend.

Mimian smiled and shook her head, she didn't bother to argue with her boyfriend's complaints as before: "Mr. Marin is a capable person who works hard, if you have such a stake in him, I am also willing to find a few sisters to share your efforts and dedication." ”

Logan nearly slipped out of the car window when he heard this.

"Don't use such a dangerous statement!" The young apprentice finally sat down and complained as he looked at his laughing girlfriend.

"I'm serious, I'd be very happy if you had half of Mr. Marin." When Mimian said this, he shook his head again: "But if you can't be that much at stake, I won't mind." ”

"That's not good, even if it's for you, I'm going to be stronger." Logan immediately clapped his chest.

………………

Marlin leaned back in the carriage and wrestled with Maya's tail tip as he listened to Logan and Mimian's speech, and when Logan showed his pig face, Marlin cut off his technique.

It's so good, the green years, live up to the time.

"Marin, this time in Pamir City, I'll take you to a good place." There was something mysterious about what Faye said in Marin's ear, which made Marin curious: "What a good place." ”

"You'll know when you go, I was born in Pamir City, and I lived there until I was four years old." When Marin heard Faye come here, he already imagined the image of young Faye curiously exploring the city.

When he was a child, he was like this, before he went to school, it was really a carefree time, although he couldn't remember it for a long time, but the happiness in his memory could not be erased.

So Marin decided to accompany Faye, he nodded and affirmed, "Then I'll accompany you then." ”

"I won't let you regret it." Faye happily kissed Marin on the cheek.

………………

That night, camp in the field.

Marin began to set up his defenses as usual, and he noticed that the captain of the mercenary squad wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything.

Is it doubting your own abilities? Marin thought, but he did need to be suspicious, after all, it was a child standing in front of him to give orders, and any sane adult would make a suspicious move.

Marin first set up a very common pressure plate near the woodland near the camp, and the material was found from the woodland - thick branches were surgically dehydrated, then sharpened with a dagger, tied with vines, and then set up for the pressure of the grass as a cover.

Without using any metal or leather, the middle-aged man followed until Marin finished testing the hair press, and the 'wooden sign' composed of sharpened branches suddenly stood up, and the height was about one meter six.

The middle-aged man wiped the sweat from his forehead and began to help Marin without saying a word.

There are a total of fifteen pressure plates, all of which are conducive to action.

Then Marlin began to set up the crater - the circumference of the size 40 shoe, about five centimeters above the ankle, and below it were a dozen very sharp sharpened branches, which Marlin deliberately strengthened with technique.

The middle-aged man was already a little restless at this time - he was always looking at the soft-soled leather boots on his feet.

There were about 40 such pits, in each direction, and they were all placed on the side of the rough near the camp - the best way to sneak up on the camp was to go through the rough areas, and Marin did not choose to get rid of the long grass and instead placed these traps.

"Do you really not get rid of the long grass?" As a thief, the halfling looked at Marin with bright eyes.

"No, the grass is flammable, we mud the ground near the camp, and if there is an enemy attack at night, we can use the fireball technique to set the grass on fire, I wonder if the sneaky guy hiding in the grass is really not afraid of the flames." Marin replied with a smile.

Then there was the defense of the camp - the outermost layer was Marin's improvised horse rejection made from collected branches, and instead of repairing the burrs on the branches, Marin smeared them with poison obtained from the halflings.

It is not a deadly and volatile snake venom, but a plant venom that has a long-lasting effect and can cause an itchy effect.

Behind the rejection was a large open space with those directional mines of Marin in the center.

Although the mercenaries didn't understand, they could understand that 'this is facing the enemy', and under Marin's explanation, no one dared to underestimate these small rectangular engineering props.

Eventually, horse-drawn carriages, wagons, and at least a dozen Earth Elemental Guards formed the walls of the camp.

The tents looming between the walls weren't actually inhabited, and all slept in the caverns that had been dug and reinforced in the middle of the camp, and Marin and Faye had reinforced and set up an anti-spirit circle with sacred techniques.

Marin alone found a large tree in the grove near the east side of the camp, climbed it, and set up a small observation post between the canopies.

Originally, the middle-aged man thought that this was too dangerous, but when he saw Milani and Fio released by Marin, especially the small elves that Fio had turned into, he directly pulled a nest of killer bee spirits from nearby as summons.

Looking at the mocking letters composed of those originally fierce giant insects, the middle-aged man scratched the back of his head, and could only accompany Miss Faye, who had come with him, back to the camp.

………………

Watching the camp begin to cook dinner, Marin sat on the small platform of the observation post and chewed on Maya's jerky.

This observation post platform is a small platform that Marin naturally grew out of the trunk of a tree with Fio's ability, covered by branches and dense foliage, except that the direction of the camp can be vaguely seen, but Marlin has modified the color scheme on the camouflage cloth through surgery, making this observation post in the middle of the canopy more difficult to observe.

Having eaten jerky, Marlin installed the short-barreled rifle and spun the heavy, but very reliable muffler, to the muzzle.

This muffler can be used for more than 200 rounds by surgically eliminating the sound of gunshots and muzzle flames, and although the average cost of each finished product is as high as 400 yuan, Marlin still produces ten.

I gave five to my eldest brother, and kept five for myself, and today is the time to use itβ€”if there are really uninvited guests.

Milani was the observer of Marin, and Fio was responsible for sweeping the grove with his freshly acquired brother - lest anyone with a long eye really pick the tree.

As the moon leaped above the horizon, the bright and soft moonlight illuminated the land, and although he had seen it many times in this world, Marin was still attracted by the bright moonlight. The city that has not been polluted by electricity, the plains under the moonlight, has an extraordinary beauty, and the moon in another world is really extraordinarily large.

At this time, news came from Fio's side that one of his killer bees seemed to sense something, but it didn't notice anything wrong after that.

Marin thought about it for a moment and decided to ask Fio to expand the scope of his search.

Sometimes, an accident isn't just an accident as it seems.

………………

As a scout of the bandits, the dwarf crawled out of the patrol range of the killer bees, and when the behemoths flew away, he immediately ran into the grass not far away.

Walking through the long grass and bushes, he saw his deputy: "I almost didn't come back, what's the matter with that nest of killer bees, it's clear that it's not their sphere of influence!" ”

"Who knows, it looks like they're on patrol, maybe they've moved."

"Maybe, let's go and find the boss."

Halflings and gnomes made their way through the woodland, through the crowd, and saw their boss, the leader of the bandits, the giant Cohen.

"How?"

"It's a little bit of a twist, but I can confirm that it's the target we're chasing, five wagons, a wagon, and the iconic elemental creatures, which look very strong, boss, I think it's a little dangerous." The dwarf told the truth, his instincts told him that being able to summon so many elemental creatures and use them as walls was definitely not an easy goal.

Their Sardinia bandits, though powerful, were not strong enough to stand up to at least one team of high-level transcendent apprentices.

"According to the intelligence, it is just a team composed of the target and a team of apprentices of the Harvest Goddess Church, as long as our bandit group can complete the kidnapping mission of the Dark Guild, everyone can get at least a thousand pieces, don't you want to live like a normal person."

"But boss, there are a couple of tricky guys in the team." The gnome's instincts told him that it was too dangerous, and that the operation would only suffer a very tragic failure.

"Didn't we say it before, Jock, after this vote, we will disband, everyone will go back to their hometown to live the life they like, and you also said that you will use this money to marry a beautiful dwarf girl." Giant Cohen lowered his head and looked at the dwarf scouts in his regiment: "Think about everyone, everyone is forced to become a robber out of desperation, no one is born a bad embryo, and no one wants to be a villain for a lifetime...... Jock, after this time, you don't owe me anything more. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Well, Cohen, you're right. The dwarf sighed, then held out his hand.

The giant shook hands with the gnome, and then two fists, one large and one small, flocked together.

"My personal opinion is to attack from the south and surround in two other directions." Jock crouched down and drew a rough map of the camp on the dirt floor, while Cohen looked at the map: "Why don't you care about the east?" ”

"There's a swarm of killer bees on the east side." This answer made everyone froze for a moment, but Cohen raised his eyebrows: "Strange, shouldn't they be farther away?" ”

"Don't worry about the insects, Cohen, with them here, we can gather more of our men to attack the camp, our target is not the same as those apprentices, so if we can, we may be able to make a deal with the apprentices, and we can take the target."

"If the apprentices agree, we won't risk our brothers' lives, but if they don't, then we have to shed blood." Cohen thought for a moment, then said.

"Then I have no problem, I will go with my deputy to dismantle the rejection horse, and then I will give you a signal, and you can rush when the time comes." After the dwarf finished speaking, he stood up and threw away the branch in his hand: "Cohen, I hope what you find for us will not be a dead end." ”
