"Oh, they still use weapons, so it's definitely not Warcraft, do you see what kind of weapons they use?"

"My lord, the big monster has a stake as thick as a man, and the little monsters have a rusty spear and a stick tied to a stone!"

At this time, Master Murray interjected and asked:

"Do you think about what those monsters looked like and what they were physically like?"

These mountain people originally lived in the relatively barren mountainous areas of the northwest border, and they had never seen several kinds of human monsters except orcs.

"The big monster was very tall and ugly, at least ten feet tall, and looked like a gnoll, but it was even more terrifying, and it had sharp teeth, and it could bite off a bull's head in one bite......"

"Although the voice of the big monster is unpleasant, I'm sure it can speak! ”

"The little monster is only half a human tall, there are seven or eight of them, and the size is not as big as a ten-year-old child in the village, and the head is more like a lizard, and there are scales, by the way, the little monster's barking is very much like a dog's bark!"

After listening to the gossip of several people, Master Murray and his two friends looked at each other, then nodded, and said affirmatively to Donald:

"My lord, I think I know what kind of monster the hunting party has encountered!"

Donald knew that these mages were far more experienced than young mages like himself, so he asked them for advice:

"Master Murray, please!"

"According to the descriptions of these two men, there are two kinds of monsters that have entered our territory to attack the hunting party, and it can be said that they are indigenous creatures, and they are definitely ogres and kobolds. ”

"Ogre, kobold!"

"Yes, my lord. The ogre is an ugly, huge, greedy creature that generally lives in the forests and mountains of the north, and may be seen in the north of the continent and in our northlands. In general, ogres live by robbing and eating carrion, and humans are the most delicious food for them, so they are called ogres, in fact, they themselves are the same as jackals and lizardmen, they are a kind of indigenous creatures bred from the main world, with a certain shallow intelligence, and will ally with other indigenous creatures or enslave their weak creatures. ”

"Adult ogres generally have bronze-level strength, and because of their strong strength and defense, they can often exert the combat power of the bronze peak, and it is difficult for ordinary soldiers to deal with these big guys. Of course, if it is a small number of ogres, with the strength of the lord, it should be easy to deal with these savage creatures. ”

After Master Murray finished speaking, the anxious Master Dina continued:

"I haven't seen an ogre yet, but I've dealt with kobolds a few times. These kobolds are a group of cowardly but evil creatures, like wild goblins, they generally live in the countryside, and a single kobold is not as strong as an adult. So I like to gather together and rob pedestrians in groups. But when they encounter beings who are stronger than them, these guys are vulnerable, and when they see that the situation is not good, they will scatter in a hurry. ”

Donald listened and asked, "They are said to have dragon blood in their bodies?"

Master Murray nodded, "This statement is generally accepted by mages, because kobolds do have some characteristics of dragon appearance like those wurm creatures. In addition, kobold clans will also produce a class of casters kobold warlocks who inherit the power of the bloodline, which also explains the fact that they have a meager dragon bloodline. ”

Then he added:

"I think those kobolds should be driven by ogres, don't look at the ogre's appearance of barbarism and horror, but their intelligence is much stronger than the wild goblin kobolds and the like, especially the ogres will also have the existence of spellcasters, it is said that these ogre wizards are the unknown bloodline power obtained in the disaster of the collapse of the ancient Arcanist empire, although the number of similar spells mastered because of wisdom is very limited, but there are some strange spell abilities that are very powerful, and professionals below the silver strength cannot be hard-connected. ”

"What worries me the most is that although ogres do it alone when they forage for food, they are social creatures, and the smallest ogre community also exists as a family unit. And rumored to be a large ogre tribe, numbering in the hundreds, has also appeared. ”

Donald's brow furrowed again. He had long heard from the adventurers in the tavern that in the depths of the Green Cloak Forest and in the vast Izumo Mountain Range, there were many indigenous monsters besides demonic beasts, but he had never seen them.

Because the more powerful existence of those indigenous creatures has been driven into the deep mountains and old forests by humans when Celt VII led the army into the North County to open up the wasteland, and it has not appeared a few times in the past few hundred years.

Now that he has advanced his territory to the outskirts of the forest, he will inevitably deal with those creatures in the future.

There is nothing to worry about a weak creature like a kobold, and Donald himself has read about powerful ogres in the clubhouse's collection, but he has not seen them with his own eyes.

"Ordinary individuals already have the strength of the Bronze Peak, if they appear in groups, then it will undoubtedly be a disaster for Dalaran!"

It occurred to him that there was no one in the realm who could confront the ogre head-on except for himself and his fellow hero. Donald couldn't help but be a little worried.

So I decided that I must find out about this ogre's lair and see what their numerical strength is. If the quantity is scarce, then consuming some magic core reserves will also completely solve this hidden danger.

If there are too many of them, you can only ask for help from the outside, in addition to the mage club, at least the Ansel family should provide some help in terms of friendship with Ferdinand, but it really can't, only to issue a bounty outside, and there will be brave men under the heavy reward, although there are not many powerful adventurers in the northern county, there are still a lot of them in the entire kingdom!

"Without further ado, I'm going to go to the battle site, if we're lucky, the ogre hasn't gone far yet, maybe we can follow it to find its lair!"

So Donald ordered several of his men to prepare to go, and the experienced and knowledgeable mage Murray must go, and Uther, the strongest force in the territory besides himself, must also go along. Then Donald brought his own convoy with him, all elite infantry fighters who would not hold them back.

Originally, they had planned to take the garrison and the Eric Eli brothers with them to increase their combat experience. However, they didn't know what the danger was, so they could only order them to strengthen the territorial defense, and stay in the town with the thirty-one elite seeds who had not yet joined the training team with little combat power, as well as the hunting party.

In order to prevent the territory from becoming empty, Donald left the most stable mage Russell in Twilight.

Then the group of sixteen people left Twilight Town while it was still dark, entered the Moonlight Glade, and headed for the border of the territory.

............ According to the experience of past adventurers, the dangers in the Green Cloak Forest and the Izumo Mountain Range are not only demonic beasts, but also many humanoid indigenous creatures. For example, wild goblins, who are common thieves and thieves in the countryside, like goblins who like to live in groups and in caves, and fierce orcs like gnolls.

Of course, these are all relatively low-strength indigenous creatures, at least the adventurers who encountered powerful creatures basically did not come back alive, so the specific situation is unknown.

The most powerful indigenous creatures known to the people in the vicinity, the gnolls, are only capable of reaching the peak of black iron at their individual strength, and they generally rely on numerical superiority and cunning to thrive in the forest and mountains.

The most dangerous creatures in the forests and mountains are the legendary dragons, but the mages and powerful professionals of Kita-gun say that there are no dragons or signs of dragons ever being found in the Green Cloak Forest and the Izumo Mountains that humans can detect.

The group was all elite, and there was an owl released by Donald in front of them, and soon found traces of the previous battle, and the horses arrived at the scene after a short walk.

All that remains of the previous battle is a mess of land, scraped trees, and scattered bloodstains, and no kobold corpses as the hunters claim. However, this is also expected by them, the carcasses of most carnivorous and omnivorous indigenous creatures such as goblins and gnolls, etc., except for the meat of their own race, will be their meal.

It is estimated that the corpses of the two kobolds have been eaten as snacks by the ogre, although the taste may not be very good, but for the ogre, some are good to eat!

"This is it!"

Following the direction they had found, Donald released an owl and ordered it to probe forward in the air.

Murray and the other three mages were very envious of these owls that Donald was patrolling, and such a pet with the blood of a monster (the three mages thought so) was a very rare choice for a magic pet. If a mage can get a pet, it will be of great help to them.

After learning the meaning of the three mage's subordinates, Donald gave them three of them as magic pets, after all, low-level creatures like owls can be summoned at any time, and he will naturally not be so stingy if he can enhance the strength and loyalty of his subordinates. Because the three mages have not yet prepared the spell ceremony of signing the magic pet, the three owls are still in charge of patrolling the territory for the time being, and they are not under their control.

However, the owl's perspective spotted the ogre a few kilometers ahead. Ogres are large and heavy, so the traces of their movement through the forest are very obvious and can be easily spotted.

"Found it! The guy was eating prey, and a total of seven kobolds were all around picking up the bones that the ogre had eaten. ”

Donald said with some excitement.

"Let's get closer, keep a distance, and see where that guy's lair is!"
