Chapter Seventy-Six: Refusal

"Why?" was a win-win proposition, and there was no reason to be rejected, and Tarrant was surprised.

"This lair is too big to be covered, and only the army can ensure that no disaster is left behind, and you just need to obey the orders and get to the Green Forest Mountain on time. ”

Orders from a strict and rigid commander would not change, and Tarrant bowed his head in disappointment, he did not intend to continue convincing Warren that it would not help.

"According to the scheduled time, you should go on the road as much as possible, and I will provide you with war horses", Warren walked outside, "Follow me." "He wasn't even going to keep the crowd.

The three of them had no choice but to follow Warren in the direction of the city gate.

The soldiers on the school training ground practiced very seriously, blocking, attacking, and posture were standard, and the array made a neat shout, and Warren walked through the formation without being distracted. There were several explosions in the corner, and several mages were shooting magic missiles at a wooden figure.

Katrina asked quietly, "What is that doing?" With her knowledge, she still couldn't understand the benefits of constantly casting magic missiles.

Warren in front turned his head to look at the mages, "Practice the angle, after the magic energy gathers, you must master its flying trajectory, on the battlefield, the situation and formation cannot be as idealized as when you practice, once you are in a melee, you must control the trajectory of the energy flight in order to effectively hit the target, and the magic missile is the best practice spell." ”

"That's right......" Catrina, a mage, was lectured by a ranger, and after being looked at by her teammates with disdain, she lowered her head and stuck out her tongue, and followed Tarrant in broken steps.

The stables are on the left side of the city gate, and there are only a dozen white war horses under the porch, Warren ordered the soldiers on the side: "Choose the three fastest horses for these three warriors", he nodded slightly to Tarrant, "I still have something to do, I won't accompany you, be careful on the road", after Tarrant saluted, Warren walked to the office.

Katrina turned to his back and said, "This gentleman makes the hairs stand on end. ”

This time Warren's expression was indeed a little strange, although his expression was still so rigid, but the last time Tarrant came over, he had been enthusiastic to provide a lot of clues, and this time he was in a hurry to urge them to get on their way.

Tarrant asked the soldiers in the stable, "Is something happening in Nai'an?"

The soldier replied, "No, it's normal." ”

It may be that the matter of the spirit sucking monster is so important that Warren needs time to think about it, and Tarrant can only speculate like this.

The three of them mounted their horses and set off for the town of Watt.

The soldiers at the gate of the city opened the fence to make way, the war horses galloped over, and Rex looked back at the defense on the city wall, "The security of Nai'an Town is very high, it doesn't look like a peaceful town on the border." ”

"Because the commander believed that war with the Dark Elves would break out here," Tarrant replied loudly from the front.

"Dark elves? Rex reacted the same way Tarrant had done at the beginning.

The war horse quickly entered the wooded area, the shade on both sides covered half of the road, the light was slightly dim, the road was muddy, and it seemed that it had just rained.

Rex rode up to Tarrant in front of him, "Did you tell him our mission was Mt. Tree?"

"No, what's wrong?"

"How did that commander know that the target of our mission this time was Cuilin Mountain!"

Tarrant was stunned for a moment, "It may be that the herald who gave the mission told him about the other deployments." ”

"Perhaps," Rex tightened his horse's back, and ran forward.

Tarrant looked back at Katrina, who had pulled some distance from the two in front of her, hugging her horse's neck and bowing her head in the saddle, she hadn't ridden for a long time, and the shock of the gallop had made it difficult to maintain her balance. Tarantra slowed down the reins and teased to the mage, "Need help?"

Katrina reluctantly sat up, clasped the horse's neck with both hands, "The great master needs ......" The war horse jumped slightly, and the mage on his back quickly bowed down, "...... Do you need your help......" Her voice sounded trembling.

Tarrant couldn't help but laugh, "Okay, say when you need help." Besides, you're going to strangle the horse to death like that. ”

Katrina let go of her hands in embarrassment, grabbed the reins, and immediately began to shake from side to side, almost falling off.

Tarrant approached her, "Come here." ”

The great master finally let go of his son, and leaned slightly towards Tarrant, and the violent shaking made her clutch to the war horse and not let go. Tarrant let go of the reins with his right hand and pulled him to his horse by wrapping his arms around the slender waist of the lady beside him, "That's a lot better, isn't it?"

Katrina pursed her lips and ignored it, she held the horse's neck and straightened her robe, her reaction just now was unrealistic.

The unmanned horses followed Tarrant, trained to follow the team when no one was driving.

The woods on either side quickly receded, and Tarrant recognized the spot where he had last encountered the Manticore, the beast had been removed, and there was nothing in the woods except the sound of horses' hooves.

Rex slowed down in front of him, waiting for Tarrant to come up, "There's movement. ”

Tarrant looked left and right, the woods were quiet, and nothing unusual was found.

"Goblin voice," Rex whispered.

Tarrant still didn't hear the movement, "Anyway, it doesn't pose a threat, just pass." "Those little ones aren't tall enough to limit the horses and can be ignored.

After the war horse galloped dozens of meters, Tarrant heard the sound of "cooing" in the forest, Rex's perception was good, and he could still distinguish them from the interference of the horse's hooves from a few tens of meters.

Goblins heard the sound of galloping horses' hooves gathering towards the forest from both sides, sticks waving in their hands.

There are a lot of them, and it's not just a matter of a human wall, but it occupies a long area of the forest road, which is a bit troublesome.

"Mage, let's do our job", Rex yanked at the reins and slowed down urgently, retreating behind the Tarrant Warhorse, leaving room for casting directly ahead.

"Fireburst?" asked Katrina.

"Rainbow balls are enough. "The immunity of the little ones is low, and there is no need to hurt them.

The mage's hands hung in the air, the vibration of the war horse made it impossible for her to concentrate at ease, and Tarrant put his right hand around her waist to cushion the shock, and the energy ball condensed, emitting a brilliant light between the mage's palms.

The goblin finished blocking the road and rushed towards the war horse, Catrina pushed with both palms, and the energy ball turned into a colorful ray of light and shot out, the magic blocked the consciousness of the little creature, and in an instant, the goblin in front of him fell straight to the ground.

Only a few in the distance were still waving their sticks, and the horses rushed forward, and Tarrant lifted the reins, and the mount jumped over the goblins that stood in the way, landing in the distance, and the two riders behind him also jumped over the obstacles.

Almost halfway to Watttown, the oncoming air currents sent Catherina's body fragrance back to Tarrant's snort, and he couldn't help but take a deep breath, and the blood flow throughout his body accelerated, like a strong momentum.

"I'm almost out of breath," Catrina knocked Tarrant on the elbow, and when the horse jumped up, Tarrant hugged her with all his might, hugging her very tightly.

Tarrant quickly let go, a little intoxicated to the point of losing his temper, not knowing whether to apologize or explain for a while, Rex caught up from behind, side by side with them, and the three of them stopped talking.

The woods were thinning out, farmland was on the horizon in the distance, and the town of Watt was just ahead, and Tarrant slowed down, "It's almost there." ”

"Hurry up, we can meet the Balance Messenger tonight. Rex instead sped up.

Tonight...... This means that instead of stopping in Watt Town in the afternoon, he is about to enter the Green Forest Mountains and spend the night in the meadows, Tarrant smacked his tongue and whispered, "It's crazy. "He drove his horse to keep up with his teammates.

The signpost stood isolated beside the farmland and pointed at Watt and Nai'an, and the trio sped past into the area of Watt Town.

For the people of Watt Town, today is the most ordinary day of countless quiet days, with a few passers-by walking on the streets, shops pΓΉ quietly opening their doors, no noise, no national day atmosphere.

The war horse went straight to Mark's sheriff's office without hindrance, and Tarrant jumped off his horse and stretched out his hand to lead Katrina to dismount, "Wait a minute, I'll visit the sheriff here." ”

The soldiers in front of the office were leaning against the outer wall and napping, and when they heard the door open, they suddenly woke up, there were three more horses in front of them, no one, they looked back into the office, two knights and a mage.

"Stop! what's the matter with you!" belatedly asked.

Tarrant waved his hand back, "Where's Captain Mark?"

One soldier replied, "I'll go out in the morning." ”

Another soldier reprimanded, "Idiot, you should ask them what they're doing first!

Tarrant turned and walked out of the office, "Investigator of Shelter Light." ”

The soldier recognized him, "You're the paladin who investigated the Psionic Monster!"

Tarrant smiled and nodded, "Where's the captain?"

"Who knows, maybe in the lair, the vigilance has been strengthened recently. ”

The lair wasn't just about heightened vigilance, and Tarrant asked, "Is there anything new in the lair?"

The soldier touched the stubble on his chin, "The only thing I found was that a few of the power stones inside were missing. ”

"Power Stones?" Tarrant had guessed what it was, they would take the Activation Stones before the vigilantes found out, and the lair below would be temporarily safe, "I'll have to go check on the situation." ”

The soldier stepped forward and said, "No, it's already a level of security, and no one is allowed to approach it except the army." ”

"When?"

"Last night, the army in Nai'an replaced our vigilantes, and now we can't even approach except Captain Mark. ”

Warren's movements were fast, he had received this order last night, and since it was already his troops, Tarrant would definitely not be able to enter.

Rex asked, "Aren't Watt and Nayan at the same administrative level?"

What he meant was that in the same border town, the sheriff of Watt was at the same level of power as the sheriff of Nai'an, and there was no possibility of anyone ordering whom, and there was no reason for Nai'an to withdraw the garrison of Wat'an.

"The administrative level is the same, but the military level is different, the town of Nai'an is a military town, the garrison is several times that of the town of Watt, and if the Serenso goes to war with Comohe, the town of Nai'an will be the main barrier on the southern border." ”

Another soldier added, "And the sheriff of Nai'an has the Legendary Warrior Badge, an honor of the King's approval." ”

According to this theory, Mark is just Warren's subordinate, and Tarrant sighed, "By the way, is that mage still here? The one who was touched by the Psionic Monster, I last came to live in the church." ”

"Adrian?" the soldier asked the other.

The other soldier thought for a moment and replied, "It's been a while since he's gone, and it seems to be missing." ”
