The words were split into two ends, and before the wolf howled, Cheese was faintly aware of the hostility in the air. I've heard from the lumberjacks that they've thought about digging waterways before, but as long as they start working, there will always be all kinds of problems to stop them, wild beasts, poisonous snakes, secondary landslides, and undercurrents underwater. These coincidences happened so intensively, which was equivalent to telling the people of Jiefa Town that some people did not want them to dredge the sand and gravel. Well, the smoother and more efficient workers who had resumed working in the river after being persuaded by the mage, and even after getting the drawings, had no reason to expect those accidents to befall them again.

Before the real danger arrived, the mage and the female swordswoman had quietly solved many troubles. Ata's eyes that could see through camouflage played a major role in it, and even the poisonous snakes swimming down the river could not escape her and the Frakrag in her hands. Counting the time, the work had been carried out for nearly half a day, a length of time that the townspeople had not survived before. This means that it is a failure that she has never had for those who want to stop them. Since sabotage can't achieve the goal, then what will happen next is self-evident, isn't it?

"Let Bunyan gather his men together and move towards the town. We couldn't stay overnight here. Cheese told Atta to give the order, for he found that the loggers generally had little temper for girls like Atta. They may be rude, but they are not bad by nature, and when it comes to men, the lumberjacks are accustomed to communicating with each other with a tough attitude. But for the opposite sex, they don't have this courage.

It didn't take long for the female swordswoman to return with the big man who was supposed to gather the crowd. As soon as Bunyan saw Cheese, he took a clear stand, "We can't get out of here!"

"The things that have attacked you in the past will not keep you safe, and at night, it is not that kind of joke that she can urge. I have promised to keep you safe, and that is why I cannot allow you to pointlessly put yourself in possible danger for the sake of dignity or anything else. Cheese turned his head and whispered to the lumberjack.

Bunyan's eyes widened, the expression was similar to that of the angry dwarven duke, but the tall lumberjack was much more ferocious than the dwarf, "Since that thing wants to come at us, do you think it will spare our tools and grounds? That's not going to end. ”

That's right. Cheese can have the workers go to town before dark, but they can't take their construction sites with them. The river monsters can't target the lumberjacks, and they will inevitably take their anger out on their work. And she wouldn't have the same scruples as she did now, and with the appearance of the river monster that Cheese saw that day, it would probably be quite easy for her to completely erase the fruits of a day's work of a lumberjack. Protecting workers, and protecting the construction site seems to have become a thing. Seeing the brooding look of the gray robe, Dagong smiled triumphantly, the people of Jiefa Town had been silent for too long, although they were still weak, but anger gave them strength.

This force allowed the loggers to create a remarkable site for themselves in addition to clearing the river, with a horse-barring fence made of sharpened logs and four improvised towers, and it is not an exaggeration to think of this as a small military camp rather than a construction site. This is the power of craftsmen, unlike most people who have ideas but no skills, as long as they are given tools, they can complete a series of processes from the acquisition of raw materials to processing and even modification, which is why craftsmen are indispensable in any society.

So what happens when a group of craftsmen make up their minds to fight a man? Cheese was convinced when he saw the layout of the site, that even if the river monsters called all the beasts of the tall and sparse forests of the vicinity, they would at most let out an indignant roar in front of the man-made fortifications. This may be an exaggeration, but the river monsters don't really have the ability to command the mountains and forests.

"I've already arranged the manpower on the town side, and there will be no problem. Today, we're here to stay, and I'm going to see what tricks it can do!" Bunyan's proclamation was so heroic that even the workers under him were demoralized. It's just that Cheese looks at these people and still thinks that things won't be so simple. Although this time, after identifying the enemy, the workers no longer feared the abnormalities and dared to fight against them, since the river monster was able to get a loom that could turn life force into silk threads, she may not have no other means. As if to confirm Cheese's thoughts, a short arrow passed through the middle between him and Bunyan.

"Do!" the short arrow was nailed to the support of the shed, and the tail of the arrow did not move. The mage and the lumberjack looked at the arrow together, and the former's eyes widened as he realized where the arrow was coming from.

"Get down! all get down!" Cheese pounced on Bunyan, and the other unknown lumberjacks looked at them, momentarily unable to understand what was happening. But with the arrival of a rain of arrows, everyone understood the current situation, and the craftsmen, who had just been in a rage, threw down their tools and hid behind cover or simply crawled to the ground. It's no wonder that they, they're not warriors.

"Do-do-do!-do!" The short arrows slashed through the air without the slightest sound, and only stopped flying after a rapid sound when they encountered an obstacle. Cheese had only seen such an arrow once.

"Atta!" the grey robe called out to his companion, and when he realized where the arrows came from, he immediately figured out what the archers were aiming for. It was a Yew arrow, which was only used by the elf killers who were chasing Atta, and only the goblin's stealth ability allowed them to raise their bows and arrows to shoot at Cheese, and he didn't even realize that they were such hunters.

"I'm here. It's them!" The swordswoman's voice was a little nervous and worried, she almost forgot about the elves who had fought the squad on the prairie. However, just because you don't look at the shadow doesn't mean it won't follow you. Mercenaries from the realm of fairies have excellent tracking skills, at least, they are very good at tracking their kind.

Cheese breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the reply, and he noticed that although the rain of arrows was menacing, it didn't actually cause any human casualties, and it certainly couldn't be because of luck. This is a habit of the Yew people, who do not like to kill unrelated targets during missions. Provided that these objectives do not prevent them from fulfilling their mandate. Like the members of the squad who drew their swords at them for Atta, the Yew people would not have deliberately missed. So it's imperative now that the elf mercenaries don't connect the lumberjacks of Jiefa with them.

"I'll count one, two, three, let's run outside and lure those guys away! understand?" Cheese looked in the direction where the arrows were fired, there was no fairy mist, but there was no source either, the trees provided natural hiding spots for the elves, and it was impossible to find the enemy by sight alone.

"All right!" the swordswoman agreed, but without waiting for Cheese's number, she stood up and ran in a direction outside the construction site. She wanted to lure the yew people away by herself.

"Tsk, this girl. ”
