"Unknown Region, LV7-LV19"

Compared to those dangerous areas whose level was often several times higher than hers, this was undoubtedly the most suitable area for clearing the wasteland at present.

"The highest level in our team is the bat that was subdued by Wendy, although it is just an ordinary monster, but it should not be weaker than any enemy here, because according to the detection of the two artifact Lori, there is no boss in this area."

Xia didn't use the blunted scimitar again, it was originally used for pretense, and the quality was only equivalent to the mid-level weapons sold in the EBNER Chamber of Commerce.

Now she holds a long sword in her left hand and a short spear with +1 attack in her right hand, walking in front of everyone.

When batting bats, she discovered the benefits of this combination, drawing her gun and shooting at a little farther away to attract the attention of monsters, and then engaging in hand-to-hand combat with opponents, and long-range pursuit if necessary.

"Glori, what do you think? Can you hold on? ”

Because Wendy is resting in the hotel, there is only one support class left in the team, so Natsu is very concerned about her status.

"I'm fine......"

The purple-haired saint replied in a whisper.

Although she still has the status of a saint, she has gradually escaped the control of Truiz and has become much freer; And the biggest credit for this is the High Priest of Light who likes to hide behind the scenes.

"--Don't underestimate little Lily."

Edith leaned over and put her arm around Glori's shoulders and said, "She often goes out to fight with the Inquisition and the Raiding Party, and even riding a demonic beast can't make it difficult for her, let alone just walking. ”

"Master, it's a monster-dense area ahead!"

The black-clothed little Lori, who was in charge of the reconnaissance on the left, shouted: "It's right next to that waterfall, there are a lot of them!" ”

"There's one here, too."

Immediately behind Xia was Abner, who had been replaced with a new outfit, and his original armor and shield had been replaced. Now it's all from a new gear store that Leom has opened.

As he struck the metal shield with the hilt of his sword, a white hungry wolf burst out of the grass and opened its mouth to bite his throat.

"Want to bite me to death? It's a dream! ”

Abner withdrew his broadsword and swung his shield at the hungry wolf's jaw.

Maybe it was because his strength had been reduced too much, and his well-tempered shield swing actually missed.

The shield that was supposed to be smashed into the wolf's kiss slid down the wolf's cheek, where the bones were unusually hard. The white hungry wolf only stopped for a moment.

Then he saw its claws kick against the surface of the shield, instantly surpassing Abner, and its mouth full of sharp teeth bit down on his helmet.

"Bang!" The fangs slammed into the heavy metal, making a few pits in the surface, but they didn't bite through.

Abner used to be the best at strength, but now he was at a disadvantage in the battle with this wild wolf, and he was quickly thrown to the ground by it fiercely, and he opened his mouth to bite the throat.

"Bang!"

Xia, who had been watching the battle, finally made a move.

Her short spear hit the hungry wolf monster just in time, and the projectile passed through the skull. The white hungry wolf let out a brief breath in his throat and rolled off Abner's body.

Then his limbs twitched violently a few times, and he lay on the ground next to him and did not move.

"It's just...... It's just a wolf. ”

Abner got up from the ground with a flushed face: "As long as I get familiar with its movements, I can solve it in 10 seconds." ”

However, compared to the loud voice in front of here, his voice now seems a little lacking.

"Don't be discouraged, this monster is powerful."

Xia comfortingly raised the short gun and signaled: "It may not be easy for me to fight it head-on, mainly because of this gun." ”

"That gun is obviously just a flintlock pistol, and its power should be very limited."

Abner, who is proficient in firearms, shook his head and sighed: "In the past, I was only a few steps back when I was hit by a giant monster. Today, I was pounced on by a little wolf, which is really humiliating. ”

"The hosts. That wolf is level 15. ”

Erin whispered to Natsu.

Xia glanced at Abner's level and found that he only had LV5 until now, no more, no less, exactly 10 levels short.

"Although a lot of monsters have been killed along the way, everyone's level seems to be rising very slowly."

She frowned and thought:

"Could it be because there are too many people in the team and there are relatively few monsters?"

"Everybody come here."

She found a relatively open terrain. Brought everyone together.

"Now begin to divide the battle groups - Sadonan, Abner, Gladys, you three please take a step forward."

One of Sadonan and Gladys didn't like to talk a lot, and the other couldn't talk at all. Hearing this, the two of them silently took a step forward and stood out from the crowd.

"What do you command, Captain!"

After being named by her, Abner suddenly became angry again, and slapped his breastplate on the mountain: "It doesn't matter if it's a dragon or a demon, just leave it to me!" ”

Because this is a wilderness and there is no one around, in order to facilitate cover and warning during the battle, everyone reverted to their original name.

"Edith, Glori, come to me."

Xia is going to leave two people first:

"Glori, although you are a member of my team, you don't have to keep watching me, your task is still to protect everyone."

She spoke to Glori.

Seeing the purple-haired saint nodding meekly, she turned to Sadonan and said:

"Sadonan, you should be the strongest fighting force of all now, so it's hard for you to lead a team alone...... Al. ”

She called Al out as well:

"Sadonan is the shield of your squad, you are good at long-range weapons, just act as the fire support of the team, if there is a monster that can't be beaten, call me, I will go over to help immediately."

"Gladys, you take Merlin ......"

After a short assignment, except for her team, which was three people, the other three teams were all gathered together, responsible for the three directions of the tail, left and right. And she's in charge of opening the way straight ahead.

"Edith, how many spells can you use now?"

Natsu looked at her current level and found that Edith had actually risen to LV7, which was the highest except for herself.

"There are three of them, and there's only one group attack magic, and the remaining two are illumination. One is a small fireball. ”

Edith replied with some frustration.

"LV7 has group attack magic?"

Xia looked at her unexpectedly, and asked the little Lori in black to call up her details.

"Flame Mage...... This is supposed to be a hidden profession, and Edith has a new chance when she arrives in the New World. ”

Seeing the profession in the message bar, she couldn't help but be happy for this friend.

"Probably because of the group attack magic, there are more monsters to kill...... That's why the upgrade speed is faster than others. The distribution of experience points in this continent is also more work and more reward, and the team experience points obtained from teammates are not considerable, and they will decrease as the number of people increases. ”

"Yikes!"

The little Lori in black suddenly shouted angrily:

"Master, someone is robbing the monster!"

“…… Where is it. ”

Natsu motioned for the others to stay where she was, and walked to the direction she was pointing in. Hand over the pergola and looking into the distance.

I saw more than a dozen people wearing black imperial uniforms holding sharp swords, slashing the group of waterfall monsters that the black-clothed little Lori had just discovered, and a large group of ferocious beast monsters were left in a blink of an eye, and the rest either turned into corpses or fled when the situation was not good.

"The highest person level is LV20."

Erin and the black-clothed little Lori have a clear division of labor, one reconnaissance and the other is responsible for transmitting information, and when they found that the group of people had good combat effectiveness, they immediately reported their rank:

"The level of others is also between LV13 and LV16...... These soldiers should not be in the coastal camp, they are all of a high level. ”

Erin reported with some concern.

"If you don't have those two bats. I'm afraid these dozen people are enough to wipe us out. ”

Although the opponent was very strong, Xia did not choose to retreat.

It's still daytime. The field of vision on the plain is very open, as long as she can see the other party, the other party will naturally be able to see her.

Running away at this time would seem suspicious, and one of the current duties of the Imperial army is to capture all suspicious subjects to prevent them from being spies in the Pioneer fleet, and she doesn't want to get into trouble.

"There are people there. It's the Imperial Army! ”

At this time, the sharp-eyed people also spotted the swaying black military uniforms at the waterfall, and the other party obviously saw this side as well, and one of the soldiers ran to the inside of the waterfall, as if asking the commander for instructions.

"Don't be afraid, let's go!"

Xia sent a message to the somewhat panicked team members. Be the first to go that way:

"They have discovered us, the best way now is to go according to the original plan, we are now legal citizens of the city of Reom, and the army can't help us."

Their information has been filed with the immigration office, and with the help of Earl Kyle, they directly skipped the vetting process and obtained official resident status in advance; Others often have to wait three days or more.

Her words gave everyone a shot in the arm, and even Merlin, who was the least courageous, couldn't help but puff up his chest:

yes, what are you afraid of? They're actually part of the empire now!

"Keep killing monsters."

This neighborhood is inaccessible, and monsters appear from time to time in the process of traveling, Xia ordered everyone to continue to kill monsters and upgrade, and slowly moved to the waterfall.

Probably because they saw their neat appearance and the direction they were heading in was here, the black-clothed soldiers did not take the initiative to approach, but lined up there and blocked the waterfall in a neat queue.

"Ahead is a monument to the martyrs of the expedition, Major Timos is paying tribute to the souls of the dead, if you want to go in and visit the graves, please wait a moment."

Unlike those rough and domineering ordinary soldiers, this group of Imperial troops seemed extremely tall, and there was no condescending tone at all in their speech, except that there was still cold arrogance in their words, and there was no trace of rudeness.

"--Wait here."

Natsu assumed the posture of a pirate leader and gestured to everyone with his chin.

A group of people dressed in various costumes began to sit on the floor, and Albert and Merlin began to shout loudly, taking out their bottles and drinking like a mess of pirates.

"Silence!!"

One of the soldiers shouted:

"Again, this is the resting place of the martyrs of the expedition......"

"Let her come."

A voice rang out from behind these people.

Different from the soldier's tone, this voice was light and calm, and it sounded calming: "She is my acquaintance, there is no need to stop her." (To be continued......)
