Showers Chapter 13: Night Attack

Notes scattered by Brand, the Elephant Summoner:

Damn it! Today was unlucky.

My research lab has been discovered again - this time by two awesome imps. These two little things have been following my tracks for days, but they still have a clue, and I must move immediately.

Samples of the essentia blood from the striae had to be taken away, and the rest of the experimental samples were destroyed—they were useless anyway. It just so happened that I found the remains of a High Elf of Guramel.

According to an ancient document, the High Elves of Gurumel had a very high level of research on black striat. While dodging these two imps, I just had to do some research—I might be able to find research materials or a few spells, which would be of great help to my research. However, I have to get rid of these two imps first, and I have to mislead them...

"Captain Langford, are you ready to go?" Michael asked with a yawn as he held the reins of Blue Wind in his left hand.

"Report to Mr. Michael, the logging team is ready to go." Rajesh Langford saluted and reported to Michael.

Michael ordered: "Okay, the first team will follow me, the second and third teams will protect the logging team, and the fourth and fifth teams will be on guard with all the attendants and march towards the water mist forest." ”

The gate on the side of the logging fortress facing the water mist forest slowly rose with the rotation of the winch, and a team of people and horses rushed out, unhurried and orderly.

As time passed, the team gradually went deeper into the water mist forest. Captain Langford saw that the wood here was very good and said to Michael, "Mr. Michael, the trees here are very good, tall and stout. There are many species of long-core trees here. So saying, he pulled out his knife and cut it on the outer skin of a tree. You see, the bark is very tough, and the color difference between the color and the core is obvious, which is a rare good material. ”

"Well, I don't know much about wood, but I trust Captain Langford's experience and vision. And they all set up camp and put up their tents. Don't light a fire yet, the logging team will set up a makeshift camp first, and everyone else will take turns to rest and be on guard! ”

Everyone was given the order to set up a makeshift camp. Those who fetched water, pitched tents, prepared equipment, and the orders were well executed. Within a few hours, a small but well-established camp was beginning to take shape.

The main body of the camp is made up of tents, which are arranged in a ring and arranged from the inside to the outside. The innermost part is the camp of the logging team, in the middle is the squire's, and the outermost is the soldier's. Outside the tent are equipment and transport carts. The outermost part of the camp was lined with simple fences and horse bars.

Michael's tent is at the entrance to the camp, and the blue wind is tied to the stake at the entrance to the camp. It was in charge of alerting with the sense of smell, and of course, our Michael Donavan was snoring in the tent. Blue Wind sometimes feels that its owner is a little too lazy, but it is a little helpless. With a grunt, it grabbed the dirt from the ground with its hind paws, untied the ropes that bound it with its front paws, and began patrolling around the camp.

Two days passed quickly and there were no attacks. Only a few wild boars rushed near the camp and did not pose any threat - not even a commotion, and a few wild boars were beaten by everyone instead.

The logging team had a good harvest, hundreds of good timber sticks were trapped and placed in the timber stack next to the camp, neatly arranged.

In the blink of an eye, it was the evening of the next day.

"What a good harvest in the past two days!"

"yes, yes, there was roast wild boar meat to eat yesterday!"

"I heard that I caught a lot of grouse and loose eggs today! The thought of the roasted grouse and the smooth egg soup made my throat start to squirm! ”

"Haha, me too, I really want to try it. I heard that we were going back today.,Fortunately, nothing happened along the way.。。。 ”

A few lumberjacks and a few squires chatted relaxedly. In the evening, people sat by the fire, and everyone was given a bite of grouse, but some were given the skin on, and some were given the breast part of the dead wood. However, for everyone, having meat is a very happy thing, and no one cares about how it tastes - and there is a slippery egg soup.

Night.

"It's so quiet tonight." A soldier standing guard said to another soldier.

"Yes, but Blue Wind seems to be a little restless, does it smell the opposite sex? Hahaha! ”

"The estrus period of the blue speed dragon should be a long time away... Wrong! Blue Wind must have sensed something! Wake up Mr. Michael! I'm here to set off the alarm! At first, the soldier's tone changed from slow nonchalance to eagerness.

"Jingle bells! Jingle bells! "The alarm bells are ringing.

The soldier who told the news eagerly lifted Michael's tent and shouted, "My lord! Blue Wind doesn't look right... Jin" was halfway through his sentence, but he didn't finish his sentence, for he had already seen that Michael was dressed and his wand in his hand, and he was sitting in a chair, with a kerosene lamp burning on the small table next to him.

Michael nodded at the soldier and said, "I didn't sleep, now go back to your post, we must... ”

"Enemy attack! It's a cat lizard and a blue speed dragon! Suddenly, Michael's words were interrupted by an abrupt voice.

"Don't mess around! All rely on the camp fortifications to fight! Deal with cats and lizards first by cutting off their tails! Threesomes are back-to-back, and the cats are able to use dimensional shadows, and they are not easy to spot under the cover of night. All eyes wide! Michael rushed out of the tent, shouting and joining the fight.

The battle soon heated up, with shouts and screams mingling with the glow of magic, the sky occasionally illuminated by the glow of magic, and the fangs of the forest flashing under the care of the light.

"I'll count to three, and then all eyes will be closed! I'm going to blind these lizards! Michael tapped his wand to his throat, and his unhurried voice was heard throughout the camp.

“3,2,1! Dazzling and flashing! Everyone closed their eyes, and a light bullet containing powerful energy jumped into the sky from the tip of Michael's wand, emitting a meteor-like light, and the light did not disappear, but was suspended in the night sky, illuminating the forest in its original color.

The strong light directly killed a small number of cat lizards, and those who did not die were also in a dizziness, unable to move, and even the other blue speed dragons were also dizzy - of course, Lan Feng was very smart, only to see it lying on the ground, its front paws tightly covering its head, and its hind paws stuck dead in the dirt.

"Kill the stunned brute quickly! Kill the cat lizard first! Michael commanded loudly.

With the help of the light, everyone began to kill the stunned enemies, only to find that the scale of this wave of attacks was not large, and the number of cat lizards and blue speed dragons that attacked was less than 200.

"Deal with dying enemies quickly! After that, clean up the battlefield and leave two-thirds of the people on guard tonight! Just now I saw many beasts and monsters hidden in the darkness of the forest... ”

Michael saw the retreating enemy, however, what he didn't see was a pair of scarlet flashes quietly disappearing.
