"It's okay, the mercenaries will protect us!"

Hera kissed her sister's forehead, calming Arani's body.

"I'll take a look!"

Raphinia had already disembarked from the carriage at this time, changed into the knight's armor and iron gloves, and the horse under the seat roared, and immediately rushed to the front of the group.

The dust raised by the horse's hooves caused the dwarf Bam who could not dodge to be directly drenched in the face, and even the beard was unlucky and full of gravel, this kind of funny performance immediately made the girl in the carriage chuckle, and was immediately stopped by Hera with a stern look.

"This little girl, it's really ...... Bah......" Old Bam spat out the sand in his mouth, and his palm was already touching the pouch.

At this time, the musket had erased a lot of rust under his polishing, and it had a slight smell of powder guns, but Leylin still retained his previous opinion - I am afraid that it is not as useful as a hammer in close combat!

Moreover, Lei Lin was also skeptical about whether this dwarf below the fifth level had the courage to fight with a high-ranking knight.

While it was a terrible insult to some dwarves to get their beards dirty, it was clear that old Bam had been assimilated by humans and had become cunning.

In other words, working with humans a lot has taught him the bad habits of timidity and fear of death, of course, the other party may not think so.

In old Bam, Leylin did not see the stubbornness and temper characteristic of the dwarves, and by the time Raphinia ran back like the wind, he had already stepped forward to lead the other horse, and at the same time took another silver from Raphinia as a tip.

It has to be said that this old Bam did have a hand in taking care of the war horse, and in just a few days, Raphinya's originally malnourished mount was full of spirits, and the noble lady already had the intention of hiring the other party as her groom. And looking at old Bam's appearance, he seems to be quite happy.

"What's going on up front now?"

As for the question of old Bam's career prospects, Lei Lin didn't care much, and immediately asked about the previous situation.

"The ogre's footprints were found, and according to the scouts and a few thieves, the traces were very fresh, probably from before the half-hourglass. Then we have to be ready to encounter each other at any time......"

Hearing Raphinia's statement, the entire mercenary team immediately became nervous, and the halfling thief and human archer couldn't help but hold on to the weapons in their hands, even old Bam couldn't help but lean next to Raphinia—among the people on the surface, it was this young girl's high-ranking knight who was the most intimidating.

Even if danger comes, the opponent has a great deal of certainty that he can escape by virtue of his mobility.

"That...... Raphinia, you're going to protect me, aren't you?" the old dwarf looked at Raphinia expectantly.

"Aren't you a mercenary?" The girl has always been very disdainful of this kind of soft bones.

"Oh my God...... For Nick's sake. You can't do that to your groom...... Poor old Bam will be torn to pieces by ogres, and who's going to take care of your Nick then?"

Bam's tears were about to come out at this time, and his whole body was almost hanging on Raphinia's slender thighs.

By the way, Nick, the name of Raphinia's war horse, seems to be given by old Bam.

"Alright! Alright, as a knight, it is also a virtue to protect the weak!"

Raphinia looked scared of him.

"Oh! I praise you!" ...... great knight," Barm's mouth immediately gushed.

"However, your salary as a groom must be halved in the future!" Raphinia learned a lot when she came out. At this time, you can actually bargain.

"No, at most one percent!"

"Forty percent, do you think there is a shortage of grooms? I have a dozen at home!"

"Thirty percent! It can't be reduced any more! Otherwise, old Bam won't even be able to drink rum mixed with water!"

"Deal !!" knight girl is still a little more green after all. Defeated under the pitiful tactics of the other party, Lei Lin who looked at the side was secretly amused.

"Ogre! It's the ogre!!"

And at this moment, a terrible voice shouted from the front.

"Alert!"

Lei Lin drew his steel longsword in an instant, his eyes vigilantly watching the commotion ahead.

At this time, in addition to the sound of people, there was also a strange roar and the sound of the exchange of blades.

"It's really an ogre!" The halfling in the group immediately drew his dagger and hid in a dark corner next to the carriage. The human archer, on the other hand, climbed to the top of the carriage, looking for a suitable position, and the wooden bow on his back instantly came to his hand.

"Ogre, I've been waiting for you for a long time!" Raphinia became excited, and as soon as she pulled her horse's head, she immediately turned around.

"Wait. I'll go with you!"

The man's voice came from behind, causing Raphinia's eyes to widen: "When did you come up!"

It turned out that I didn't know when Leylin had already ridden on the war horse and came behind Raphinya, which was an incredible thing for a high-ranking knight.

The knight and the mount are one and the same, and this situation of being bullied without knowing anything is the most dangerous, if the other party has bad intentions.

Raphinya felt a chill in her heart at first, and then this state of having someone behind her made her very uncomfortable.

"You should probably be a thief! Get down, Nick won't like you!"

At this time, the posture between the two was a little strange, and Raphinya's face was a little flushed.

"Good, let's go!"

"I'm not a child!" Raphinia protested weakly, but with an involuntary push from her feet, Nick rushed out like a black whirlwind.

At this time, Raphinia showed her superb riding skills, even when there were people behind her, she walked through obstacles in the chaotic convoy and came to the front of the team.

Numerous caravans were retreating, and several mercenary groups had already drawn their swords and bows and arrows, forming a half-moon shaped circle.

On the opposite side of the defensive array, there was a group of huge monsters with a number of less than twenty.

"Is this an ogre? It's the first time I've seen it!" Raphinia looked at the monster that appeared in front of her with no curiosity.

The first ogre was nearly three meters tall and had a humanoid torso, like a big bloated fat man, with dark brown skin, a thick neck, disgusting sarcoma, and unkempt and greasy hair. Beast-like eyes have a broad, flat nose underneath them, and black teeth bulging out, as hideous as a demon.

Standing at the front seemed to be the leader of the group of ogres opposite, with simple tanned hides around his waist, and some of the other ogres were simply wearing nothing, just swaying naked.

"It stinks!" Just standing a dozen meters away, a foul smell hit her face, making Raphinia cover her nose.

"Yes, it's very similar to the one on the Ogre Illustrated Book, except that I don't see the existence of the mutated two-headed ogre and the ogre shaman......"

Lei Lin also looked at the ogre opposite at this time, and there was a blue light in his eyes that was difficult for ordinary people to discern.

"Chip, scan the other party's data!"

【Ding!Mission established, start scanning!Data feedback, image generated!】The chip faithfully executes Thunderlin's commands.

Soon, a stereoscopic image of an ogre was projected in front of Lei Lin, along with specific data information.

[Name: Unknown Race: Ogre Gender: Male Strength: 7 Agility: 3 Constitution: 10 Spirit: 1 Has Talent: 1, Regeneration: Ogre has extraordinary regeneration ability, and can even survive for a long time even if the head is cut off. 2. Physical skin: The mixture of ogre skin oil and other soil forms another layer of natural defense for them, and the effect is comparable to that of ordinary leather armor, which cannot be resisted. 】

"This kind of data is comparable to ordinary seventh- and eighth-level warriors, and the template selected is just an ordinary ogre......

Leylin looked at the ogre group opposite, and there was a glint in his eyes.

"Moreover, these ogres have a strong physique, as well as terrifying regenerative ability, which means that the cell activity of their bodies is probably much higher than that of ordinary people, if they are plundered by the devil's blood dagger, I am afraid that my physique can rise by 2 to 3 points, or even reach the bottleneck of 10 points!"

Now Leylin looked at the ogre on the other side as if he were looking at a huge treasure.

The ogre race on the opposite side, even by the most conservative estimates, can increase his constitution by 1 or 2 points, which is equivalent to receiving a low-level divine blessing.

However, if Lei Lin was alone, he would not dare to provoke such a large ogre race.

He even had to take refuge in other targets to be able to cross the area safely.

But now the hostility between the large caravan and the other party has made Lei Lin see an opportunity.

"It's just a scattered team of ogres, don't worry!"

At this time, the people of the Pale Eagle Mercenary Group also rushed over, and the leader was none other than Sigfried, a high-ranking warrior that Leylin had seen last time.

After seeing that there were less than twenty ogres on the other side, Sigfred had a visibly relaxed expression on his face.

"There is no ogre shaman, this amount is just enough for other mercenaries and caravans to see, and the next time I encounter it, I won't be so scared......"

Sigfried knew that with the force of their large caravan, if they could unite as one, there would be absolutely no problem in passing through here.

But human beings are often knocked down by the fear of the unknown, especially the rumors of this terrifying monster with the name of cannibalism, which is more likely to trigger collective panic, which is a disaster even more terrifying than a tsunami!

Therefore, it is necessary to let these timid merchants see the ogres in advance! )
