Seven days later, in a dense thicket.

Hag had been squatting in this damn damp grass for almost an hour, and only a little over a meter tall bush allowed Hag to brace himself on his knees and palms to barely hide his more than two meters tall, and the thin thorns on the bushes made him itch and twist uncomfortably.

"Boss, how long are we going to squat?"

He blew away a bee that flew into his face, then asked with a flat mouth.

The emaciated figure crouching in front of him peering through the dense foliage of the bushes was none other than Lear, who announced his intention to join the guerrillas of the Forest of No Return immediately after the dwarven meeting that day.

Unlike those adventurers who shouted "Long live friendship and justice", Lear bluntly said that he was going for the crystal.

Far from being despised for his honesty, he was rewarded with praise for his bravery and honesty.

No way, who made him the one with the biggest fist.

And because he took a good start, the adventurers behind did not hesitate to join when they saw the second-level magicians, and they all said that they would fight the Erathians to the end with the elves of the Forest of No Return.

This effect is of course what Eufrittin wants most, so he also smiles happily at Lear.

It's just that unlike those adventurers who wanted to enjoy the shade under the big tree, Lear then offered to go it alone without cooperating with anyone, a request that was supported by the dwarves, but it was clear from the faces of the dejected adventurers that they were disappointed.

Lear is now in a small valley on the left side of the Forest of No Return near Hammondal, because of the heavy rain for several days, the mountain road connecting Erathia mainland to Hammondale has been severely collapsed, and the carriages and horses are no longer passable, but the tens of thousands of troops ahead still have to eat.

As a last resort, the Elassian logistics team had to cross the Kogas Heights on the left to deliver food and supplies to the front, which undoubtedly greatly increased the difficulty and danger of logistical supplies, because this section of the mountain road had to cross a small area of no return forest, and even if they had completely occupied Hammondale Castle and the surrounding area, the area covered in dense green was still a forbidden place for the Erathians.

The military has increased the force to escort the transport team, but it is useless, because it is Lear who is in charge of this entire large forest, and his team can easily travel through the forest under the leadership of several elven guides, including Ivo, and even if the foresters withdraw their guides now, Lear himself will be able to find a way out.

Before that, Lear had already succeeded twice in the other two places, and the sudden devastating blow prevented the enemy from escaping even a single rat lurking in the van, so the Erathians only knew that there were convoys of transports disappearing one after another in this area, and they had no clue who did it and how.

Lear didn't kill them all, except for those who were stubborn and resistant, and he bundled them all up and handed them over to the forest dwarves.

The hot-tempered dwarves accepted it, and in the days when there were no fights, they needed some of Erathia's captives to kill their boredom.

This is Lear's third sale.

..................

Jack and Aru were new soldiers to join the Erathia army, because it was another good harvest this year, and after the wheat was threshing, the two discussed with the drunkard father who was a blacksmith that they should also learn from the young men of the town, and go to the army to mingle, and if they were lucky, they could get a half-job, and it was better to wander around the village every day when they were full.

Daddy also made the same sense when he heard it, whether it was the Mudran Dynasty or the current Erathia Dynasty, as long as the people living in the richest central plains of this continent were not too lazy, and the lords did not go to death, they would always starve to death, which also developed the atmosphere of the Erathians fighting bravely and fiercely - they had nothing to do when they were full of food left and right, and where did they go without fighting?

Married people still have a daughter-in-law to serve, and those half-grown children who are not married and have excess energy can only gang up and play hooligans.

Because of this, the old men in the village were so broken that they couldn't help it, and it just so happened that the news of Erathia and Hammondal's war conscription reached the town, and there was a fight left and right, so let's go to the battlefield and fight.

After a short three-month training camp, the two brothers were officially assigned to Erathia's army, but there was a slight difference from their dream story of riding a white horse and holding a silver spear to fight on the battlefield - they were assigned to the grain transport team.

Every day is to load and unload trucks, catch up with cars, pull carts, and push carts, because of the different terrain, the order of these activities may have some changes, but on the whole, the workload is still stable, and the brothers no longer have to worry about having nowhere to use their strength - every time the supplies are sent to the barracks, they just want to lie on the plank bed like a dead dog and sleep in the dark, and they have no strength to toss for the ten flower girls.

The only consolation is that there are still horses, and although they are a little older, they can still get a little bit of contact with the cavalry - everyone on the left and right is sitting.

At this moment, Jack was flicking the whip in his hand weakly and slumping on the ass of the old horse in front of him, while complaining to his brother about the damn weather—this beast has been getting more and more arrogant lately, and since the last time Aru fed him half an uneaten turnip, he wouldn't leave every time he loaded the cart without giving him a few bites.

"Hey, I said Aru, when is this day a head, don't talk about making achievements and going home as a lord, sooner or later we will all have to die of exhaustion like this beast. ”

Strangely enough, the usually talkative brother did not respond to him immediately this time, and Jack couldn't help but turn his head to look, only to see his brother's eyes widen and his mouth wide open and point to the front in horror.

Jack followed Aru's finger and looked at it, immediately stunned.

I saw a barbarian man more than two meters tall with his left hand crossed on his waist like an iron pillar in the middle of the road, and that kind of fierce and vicious look was not a good person at first glance, but this was not the point.

The point was that the barbarian also had a great axe about the same length as him in his right hand, and now the great axe was standing upright beside him, and there was a huge piece of cloth fluttering in the wind on the blade of the axe, which looked like a flag.

On the surface of that flag, there were rows of large characters written in the lingua franca of the mainland.

"I opened this mountain, I planted this tree, if you want to live from here, leave to buy road wealth. ”

A couple of huge exclamation points at the back.

Seeing that he had succeeded in attracting everyone's attention, the barbarian stretched out his stout left index finger and pointed hard at the banner, then raised his chin arrogantly at the Erathian.

Does that mean, 'Do you all get it?'

"Hit ...... Robbery!"

Jack's pig-killing cry echoed through the valley.
