At the same time, in the Ernst family camp in the autumn hunting camp, Rhodes, who was wearing a pair of trousers on the lower half of his body, was wielding a heavy sword in an open space in the family camp for his daily exercise.
"Woo-woo-" The heavy sword with a whole body of stainless steel mixed with almost one-third of black iron whined in the air and changed black shadows, making people who didn't know the situation very suspicious - it stands to reason that the weight of the heavy sword should be at least twenty kilograms or more, and if it looks like it is now, it makes people wonder if this is a bit of water, or is it simply a wooden product?
After wielding almost two standard hourglasses (Note 1), Rhodes stopped the heavy sword in his hand and could not be used in battle for a long time unless it was a gray iron superior, and walked straight to the side where his clothes were placed.
"Master Rod!" *2
After seeing Rhodes, who had finished his daily morning exercise before breakfast, came over, two middle-aged servants waiting on the side took the initiative to hand over towels and other items while respectfully greeting him.
"Hmm" Regarding the respectful attitude of the two servants, Rod, who has been accustomed to this kind of hierarchy in the other world for more than ten years, will not say anything "everyone is equal", which is also a high-level on the earth to fool the people below. After a slight nod in response, he began to wipe the sweat from his body with a soft towel.
If it is changed to the Baron's Mansion in Taaffe, Rhodes can also take a bath in hot water, but now in the wild environment of the autumn hunting camp, he can only avoid unnecessary troublesome steps as much as possible.
"Pengβ"
But just as Rod was wiping the beads of sweat from his body, a faint but unusually clear sound suddenly sounded in the distance of the only bright sky, and a beautiful fireworks with a red pattern appeared in the sky high above the camp.
"Magic warning fireworks? Is it over there in the hunting ground??" When Rhodes looked up, he recognized the magic warning fireworks unique to the magical world, and then confirmed that it was the rescue firework sent by Viscount Thor before the autumn hunt, and he felt even more strange.
As the host of the autumn hunt, Viscount Thor's arrangement is still quite thoughtful, not to mention that the entire hunting ground has been inspected by Viscount Thor's subordinates several times in the past few days, and the noble teenagers enter the autumn hunting ground not only have family knights (or recruited bronze rank warriors) to follow and protect, and each family team will send a magic warning fireworks for help in case of emergency, in case of danger and emergency, notify the camp or others to rescue.
Rhodes himself felt that Viscount Saul's plans were almost very strict, and as for more and more detailed vigilance, it was not something that a local nobleman could afford to use when he was hunting in the autumn hunting grounds.
"Huh? Ogre horde? And the two-headed ogre" When Rod used the power of the gods' game space to see what was going on in the autumn hunting grounds, he couldn't help but think in surprise in his heart.
In the exploration of the gods game space, not far below the magic fireworks explosion just now, an official knight was carrying a noble boy on his back to escape for his life in the forest, and behind the two of them were several ogres that Rhodes had only seen in the virtual spirit world of the gods game space.
To Rhodes' surprise, there were not only a few ogres chasing behind those two unlucky eggs, but also a few strong ogres a little further away, including a two-headed ogre comparable to the silver rank!
It stands to reason that such a powerful monster could not have appeared in the Autumn Hunting Grounds, but now it is clear that a powerful two-headed ogre has led a small tribe of ogres into the Autumn Hunting Grounds
"Woo-woo-" As Rhodes pondered how the ogre tribe had entered the Autumn Hunting Grounds, a warning horn sounded in the Autumn Hunting Camp, and the entire camp began to come alive.
Seeing this, Rod was not as panicked as those uninformed people in the camp, but instead showed a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Less than half an hour after the fireworks were lifted into the air, Viscount Thor, the highest-ranking nobleman in the Autumn Hunting Camp, gathered with the other nobles and began to discuss the problem, and planned to send personnel into the Autumn Hunting Ground Forest to ask for help.
However, before Viscount Thor and the other nobles could finish, the magic warning fireworks that rose into the air one after another in the autumn hunting grounds turned the originally peaceful atmosphere in the camp into extremely tense.
This phenomenon could not have been caused by one of the aristocratic teenagers in the Autumn Hunting Ground who occasionally encountered some accident and notified the camp, it was probably because of an irresistible danger that this kind of magic warning fireworks were continuously emitted!
So all the nobles couldn't bear their feelings, and they all expressed that they wanted to go to the hunting ground immediately to rescue them - of course, the reason for this is actually very easy to understand, but in the autumn hunting grounds, they brought their sons and family knights who participated in the autumn hunting!
And the sons who can be brought by these nobles to participate in the autumn hunt are the eldest sons of the first inheritance or other favored sons in the family, not something that can be casually used as cannon fodder and sacrifices!
Not to mention the others, just look at Rod, who is the first heir, to be brought by Baron Ernst to participate in the autumn hunt, and understand what kind of status the noble boys who can participate in the autumn hunt are in their respective families.
So under the unanimous opinion of the nobles, the personnel in the entire autumn hunting camp were mobilized, except for about half of the soldiers, logistics personnel and the old and weak women and children who had no combat effectiveness, the other soldiers, especially the official knights and official magicians of the bronze rank who stayed in the camp, almost all joined the rescue team.
Even Viscount Thor sent a silver-ranked warrior, several official knights of the bronze rank, and a official mage of the bronze rank to join the rescue team!
This is not only because the fifth youngest son of Viscount Sol is also in the Autumn Hunting Ground, but more importantly, because of the safety of those noble teenagers in the Autumn Hunting Ground. If there is an unexpected death of a noble descendant during this autumn hunt held by Viscount Sol, then Viscount Sol's reputation will be greatly damaged.
You must know that in the five countries of the Northland and even in human society, in addition to the force that a noble family has itself, the most important influence is to attract other minor nobles to their side as allies, if this kind of death of the descendants of the invited nobles occurs in the autumn hunt hosted by Viscount Thor, the face of the Viscount Thor family will be disgraced!
And if it is more directly impactful, the small nobles present who are originally allies or close to Viscount Thor will feel that the boss they are looking for is unreliable, and they are likely to jump to Viscount Thor's opponent.
Therefore, Viscount Saul is both public and private, and he is extremely enthusiastic about rescuing those unlucky people who are still in the autumn hunting grounds!
As for the other nobles, they don't have so many complicated psychology, in order to save their valued or favored sons, those nobles who have good combat effectiveness themselves personally lead people out, and the nobles who have not reached the red bronze rank have also sent their cronies to join the rescue team!

"Whoa-whoa-whoa-"
"Quick! Hurry !!"
In the bushes, hundreds of figures flew by, bringing bursts of sounds, and an unusually calm and powerful male voice urged all figures to move forward quickly from time to time.
"I'm really anxious, but I haven't found out the reality over there yet" After looking at the rescue team that had been advanced in the mountains and forests at a rapid marching speed almost after the three official magicians joined forces to cast the wind basic spell, Rod secretly muttered in his heart in the middle of the team with his father.
I have to say that the magician's spell-casting profession belongs to a fairly high-status existence in that world (some high-magic worlds that have completely popularized the magician's profession should be an exception), if it is not necessary, the magician is generally in the finale of the team's hole cards, like the current direct blessing of hundreds of people in advance to assist the spell behavior? Unless it is the regular army mage regiments of various kingdoms and empires that strike when the war is necessary, it is difficult for others to perform such a rather extravagant act unless there are special circumstances - or it is difficult to ask a formal mage to do it!
However, it was this kind of behavior that caused the team of hundreds of people to advance rapidly through the mountains and forests, almost approaching the place in the autumn hunting ground at an unusually fast speed, where there were constantly magic warning fireworks appearing. And in the investigation of the game space of the gods, those unlucky people who are playing escape games with ogres are also speeding up here.
"Roar!! Roar !!"
"Boomβ"
"Don't get tangled with those ogres! Hurry up and run!"
Soon, less than half an hour after entering the hunting ground, everyone in the rescue team heard the roar and roar of ogres and the cold sound of humans faintly coming from the hills ahead.
"Knights and magicians come with me!"
In this case, the silver-rank warrior in the lead shouted, and then accelerated towards the front along with nearly ten bronze knights and three magicians who had burst into a fighting spirit and quickly disappeared into the hills. After a few minutes, when the remaining team, which was basically composed of the peak warriors of gray iron, rushed up the hills, they saw the battle that had become extremely fierce on the back of the hills.
(Note 1: The most basic unit of time, almost a standard hourglass hour is five minutes.) )
