The robbers who robbed the caravan were easily dealt with, and the caravan leader came over with something to express his gratitude, and Tuga declined the gift in line with the strategy of building a good relationship first. Then he was about to bring up the matter of the trade route in the process of chatting, who knew that the leader of the caravan was extremely moved, and said a lot of snot and tears......
"Thank you, gracious sir. If it weren't for your courage, I'm afraid my family would never see me again, and every time I think about this result, I am saddened. Half a year ago, I lost my only brother, who is an excellent businessman and an excellent husband. Every time he came home after doing business, he would never forget to bring a little jewelry and snacks to his wife. And my brother and daughter-in-law, that simple woman, she can always have a premonition of her husband's return, and I believe that love has given her this magical ability. But God didn't want to favor such a happy couple, and a group of greedy robbers ransacked my brother's caravan and brutally killed the whole team... Oh, my poor brother-in-law, their affection was so sincere, and she went crazy when she heard the sad news. In the days that followed, she sat every day in the place where she used to welcome her husband's return, draped in one of her husband's favorite silk scarves, and hummed a song that no one could understand. Alas... Poor woman... But she has me and my wife to take care of more than some of the more unfortunate women, but what if I suffer the same fate as my brother? The merchant sobbed for a while, and then continued: "But as a merchant, I always have to go out to do business, and the robbers always rob the caravans for money, and the lords are busy fighting and have no time to manage the security of the territory, so a tragic fate will befall me one day." Will there be any heroes like you?" I ......," the merchant became, saddening, and began to cry again.
Tuga looked at Manid, who understood, stepped forward to comfort the merchant, and by the way told him some of his own tragic experiences...... , in the end, the two hugged and cried, and became friends in an instant. The rest of the matter is simple, the problem of the caravan is solved, and Tuga officially sets off to deliver the letter. At the first stop, Tuga was going to find the relatively familiar King of Nord, Ragnar, and asked several Nord lords on the way, and finally found this king who led the team to suppress bandits near Suno, and after meeting and sending letters, who expected that this guy didn't care about the problems about the dark forces and the earl's warning, and even felt bored, and directly told Tuga that he was very busy, and then sent Tuga away. This made Tuga very helpless, and my brother also helped you suppress a lot of pirates, just this attitude? Forget it, the letter was delivered anyway.
Chasing pirates all the way and exterminating the darkness, everyone marched extremely fast because they didn't need baggage, but unfortunately Seon cleaned the battlefield too carefully, (it is estimated that the plunder was already fifteen) caused the space in Manid to fill up quickly, not to mention, the soldiers also carried a lot of loot, and had to go to the town to trade. Tuga is now upgraded to 'Baggage Officer' and 'Valuables Custodian', and the space is stocked with a large amount of various foods, fruits, vegetables, and water. And, of course, the dinar. After several cycles, the group finally reached the target city of Paraven for the second stop. Unfortunately, it was getting late, and by the time he entered the city, it was already dark, and Tuga settled everyone and went out for a walk. Who knew that it was robbed, and several robbers were estimated to have been ambushed by the deserted streets, ready to rob lone pedestrians at any time. It's a pity that this time it hit the iron plate. The soft, inaccurate arrow was grabbed by Tuga with one hand, and then took out the elven bow and used this arrow to kill the robber in the distance, and two others tried to come up and slash, but Tuga was put down empty-handed. Looking through the corpses of a few people, it was not bad, and there was a small gain. It seems that in the future, I will have to walk around the city more often. Unfortunately, the rest of the robbers seemed to have received the news, and even if Tuga deliberately stayed in some remote alleys, no one came to rob them again.
Bore, Tuga decided to go to the tavern for a drink, there were many taverns in Palaven, and Tuga found a luxuriously decorated and largest one. Once inside, you will be greeted by a noisy and smelly smell of wine, and you will be greeted by an empty hall illuminated by dim lights, with a few seats on the left and right of the hall, and only a small number of people sitting. This is exactly what Tuga's appetite is, after all, if there are too many vulgar and rough people, not only will they be very noisy, but they will also be prone to meet drunkards who are drunk and make trouble. In the corner on the right side of the hall sat a dozen mercenaries, who looked like they were supposed to be a team, with very good equipment, and if you read that right, these people should be mercenary cavalry. On the left hand side of the door stood a troubadour, who was playing with the wind and moon, plucking his horse-head harp and singing unknown poems. Nearby, a bookseller with a Bible cover was trying to sell it to the townspeople who were shouting with wine glasses, and these profligate creatures were drinking and singing with their arms raised, spilling wine and spitting everywhere. And not far from this group of people, near the bar, there was a person who did not fit in with the environment, it was a dark-skinned strong man, he sat silently with a wine glass, and carried a very powerful long sword behind him, but it looked a little old, and the ornamentation of the hilt was blurred. Tuga bypassed the townspeople and walked straight to the proprietress in front of the bar and sat down.
"Boss, have a glass of wine. After saying that, she threw a few dinars on the stage, and the proprietress put it away, turned around and went to get the wine. Tuga, who was sitting bored on the platform, took out the hero badge and played with it, this badge has been touched by him more and more brightly, and the original blurred pattern in the middle has begun to slowly appear, he threw the badge up and caught it, and then bounced it with his thumb like a coin...... He hadn't noticed that someone was staring at the badge that was flying up and down.
"If you don't mind, can you show me what you've got in your hands?" a beautiful, hoarse voice sounded like the troubadour's.
Tuga looked back at the uninvited man, but did not answer, he said, "This can be the relic of the legendary Holy King, I can't just give it to you." However, if you can provide some special news, I don't mind giving you some dinars, such as some gold coins" After saying that, he took out some gold coins and put them on the stage.
The man didn't even look at the gold coins, "I just want to touch it, to make sure, and even if you don't believe me, you should believe that I can't get out of your grasp, don't you?" said the troubadour, smiling.
Tuga stared into his eyes for a moment and handed the badge over. "Give you a minute, if you want to escape, this tavern is your final destination. ”
The troubadour took it excitedly, then solemnly placed the badge on the table, closed his eyes solemnly, and muttered for a while, and Tuga could only hear one word: "light". The originally vague pattern in the middle of the badge suddenly emitted a dazzling white light, turning into the figure of a dragon in mid-air...... This magical scene instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the tavern, and Tuga was the first to react, and quickly grabbed it, who knew that the pattern was as hot as a soldering iron, and Tuga's palm rattled. For a moment, Tuga felt as if he was suddenly in a ray of light, and he didn't feel any pain in his palm, and then a dragon appeared in the void in front of him, talking to him.
The people outside saw a different situation, they just saw Tuga put his hand on the badge and didn't move, and then his body began to glow, and his eyes were extremely sacred. The timid burghers had even begun to worship, the mercenaries drew their weapons and retreated far away, the bookseller was stunned at first, then took out a large book out of nowhere, and kept flipping through it, and the troubadour looked at Tuga with complicated eyes, and then disappeared. The swarthy man, who was indifferent to everything, looked at Tuga thoughtfully......
When the dazzling light ended, Tuga opened his eyes, raised his palm and looked at it, and sure enough, he was imprinted with the image of a radiant dragon. Looking at the emblem that was as shiny as it was reborn, Tuga incorporated it into dimensional space. He turned around and said, "The ......," only to realize that the troubadour was gone, and Tuga's words came to an abrupt end.
At this time, an excited roar came from the front: "Haha, I found it, the golden badge painted with the Radiant Dragon!" The bookseller's voice became smaller ......and smaller, and the cold sweat on his face became more and more serious, and after a while, he closed the book in horror, quietly glanced at Tuga, and hurriedly ran away.
Tuga shrugged and smiled, then turned back to pick up his glass and drank slowly. Looking at the gold coins in the stands, Tuga's heart moved, and he said loudly: "Boss, I want to invite everyone here to have a drink, the money is here." After the conversation he stood up and greeted the crowd, and the people were silent for a moment, and then began to cheer, and a group of citizens had been drinking about the same, and then they poured it down one by one, and one by one they actually danced, and Tuga saw this, shook his head and smiled, turned around and sat down in front of the bar, and continued to drink. Unexpectedly, a drunken guy squeezed over and said to him, "You know, there has always been a legend in my hometown of Eledaigus, uh, hiccup, there is a ...... there" Tuga just smiled as drunk at first, but slowly his face became serious, and then the knowledgeable proprietress interjected and said a few words......
The next day, Tuga, who learned the mystery of the hero's badge, could not send a message to Harlaus, who was close at hand, and led the team straight to Al Degg early in the morning. It happened to escape a group of elite people called by the bookseller, and by the time they found Tuga's accommodation, there was no one for a long time.
At this time, Tuga was also a little anxious, dense forests, endless cold arrows. Fortunately, Tuga's sense of direction was first-class, and Mama Tea could also help a lot, and everyone slowly but firmly approached Eledegar. The trees in front of them seemed to be starting to thin out a bit, and it was indeed a little depressing to stay in the dense forest where they couldn't see the sky, and just as everyone walked to the open area to breathe a sigh of relief, a large number of arrows rained down.
The crowd fled in a hurry, hiding behind the trees. "Head, there are a large number of bandits gathered in front, not to mention four squads, and I don't know how many more are coming in the future. Mama Tea went out to observe and came back and said.
"Well, it seems that the enemy is not stupid, I suspect that those cold arrows are trying to drive us in this direction, how far are we from Al Deig?" said Tuga as he shot the enemy.
"It's close, but we're not familiar with the terrain, so if we concentrate on it, we'll be surrounded, and if we disperse, it's easy to be scattered. Mama Tea said.
Tuga thought for a while and said: "No, jungle combat is the opponent's strong point, we can't fight them everywhere on the slopes and trees, sometimes the place that seems to be a dead end happens to be where our advantage lies, the whole army gathers and rushes to the open field, the infantry is outside, the shooters are inside, just pay attention to keep the shape." As I have just seen, most of the enemy's weapons are very rudimentary, and it is difficult to shoot through our 'regular army equipment'. I'm going to harass alone, you take the direction, and I'm sure we'll be to Al Deg soon. ”
Sein looked at Tuga quietly, Tuga nodded to her, and she reluctantly followed Jamila and the others to start the march. Tuga gathered his equipment and mounted his horse and circled around the enemy's right side.
Some bandits were easily dealt with, and in the distance, Tuga's subordinates had already started hand-to-hand combat with the bandits. Although judging from the current battle situation, hand-to-hand combat still has the advantage, but he knows that he must deal with the enemy's long-range troops as soon as possible, otherwise, once he can't pass quickly, the enemy's follow-up reinforcements will continue to increase, and if the battle situation is stalemate, even if he wins in the end, he will suffer heavy casualties.
Fortunately, the artifact is in hand, and the rate of fire of the elven bow is almost twice that of a normal bow, especially the parabola of the arrow is almost straight, which is very easy for aiming. Tuga can even shoot enemies quickly with a half-open bow at will. The only thing that needs to be solved is the problem of line of sight, the terrain is too undulating, there are too many trees, and it is difficult to quickly lock on to the target. In desperation, Tuga had no choice but to take the risk of shooting at close quarters, narrowing the range to less than 100 meters. This range is very dangerous, it is easy to spot the opposite of the enemy, even the enemy is easy to find you, and secondly, the bow and arrow and throwing weapons that are rudimentary from the enemy can also exert a strong lethality, especially when attacked by the enemy.
After killing a dozen enemies quickly, Tuga had to shift, and relying on the vision provided by the gifted Eagle Eye, Tuga's flexible guerrilla came into play, and he was able to take on a bow squad alone. Of course, injuries are inevitable, and after fighting in several places in a row, although he himself only suffered some scratch injuries, the horse was hit by a few arrows, but fortunately, the vest was well protected and was not fatally injured. There was almost a one-sided slaughter on the frontal battlefield, the enemy's morale was plummeting, and some deserters had already appeared.
After repelling several waves of bandits on and off, the enemy finally gave up and came to Al Deig, where Tuga first visited the village chief, chatted with the old man, and after stuffing a few dinars, he finally obtained some useful information, and immediately began to mobilize his men and horses to search for suspicious places near the village.
