Chapter Twenty-Four: The Evil Beasts

PS: Thank you to the book friend who gave 100 starting coins for his fate

"My warriors, I feel the courage and blood boiling in your hearts, and I see the desire for victory in your eyes, so go, warriors, warriors, go, fight, kill, bring back the glory that belongs to you. In the luxury car, Freya's voice was melodious and high-pitched: "Now, the hunting competition begins. ”

"Whoa. A group of young men, who had finally been relieved of their afternoon sleepiness, howled and rushed out on their horses, waving bows and arrows in their hands, and rushed in all directions across the wilderness.

"Young men, it always will be. When the excited city guards were far away, Freya sighed leisurely and whispered in a delicate voice: "I always like to pretend to show myself in front of women, just like a male peacock, using colorful feathers to show that I am different." I don't like this, why do I have to pretend? Why do I have to show the gorgeous and colorful in front of the opposite sex? The glamour will always fade, the beauty will always wither, and the only thing that is truly stable and long-lasting is the ordinary and the true, so why can't we show the real and ordinary side to the opposite sex?"

"Perhaps, because I think that my true side has many shortcomings, the woman I like can't accept it. Pannis said: "After all, people will always have some bad habits, and they can't show them in front of the opposite sex they long." ”

After the young men of the city guard rushed out, only Pannis was guarding next to the luxurious carriage, and the three girls of the adventure group left Pannis alone to accompany Freya without the spirit of teammates, and the three of them returned to the carriage of the wedding convoy early to rest, and by the way, gloated and peeked at Pannis's tangled appearance with Freya.

Pannis is indeed very entangled, once Vivien leaves, there is no one who can get Freya back to normal in time when she sighs melancholy and sadly, plus Freya has a certain sense of resistance to relatively strange men, which causes the two to communicate very painfully.

"But that's hypocritical. Freya whispered, "Obviously timid, but pretend to be brave." Obviously excited, but pretending to be calm, obviously liking, but pretending to ignore. This is deception. I hate this kind of deception, I would rather show my ugliest and truest side to Wesker, only if I can accept this kind of me, it means that he really loves me. ”

"Yes? Maybe. Pannis shrugged indifferently: "After all, everyone thinks differently, and there is no need to reach a consensus." ”

"Mr. Pannis. You...... It's been perfunctory, and it seems that you don't like to talk to me?" Freya was sensitive to the coldness and perfunctory nature of Pannis's words: "Do you hate me very much?"

"Haha, how could it be. Pannis laughed dryly, and said absentmindedly: "You are beautiful, you have a beautiful voice, and you have a good personality, how can anyone hate you, En, that's just your illusion, I'm not perfunctory at all." ”

"Really?" Freya smiled with a hint of self-deprecation. There was no further talking, and there was silence around the carriage, except for the sound of the axles turning.

"Came back so quickly. Pannis's ears moved, and he muttered to himself, "How did you find your prey so smoothly?"

"Hahaha, I'm the first. A member of the team held a small magical beast aloft and rode back quickly: "I won, I won, hahahaha, I don't have to work tonight." ”

"Ahhh The sound of horses' hooves sounded in the other direction. The second team member who returned cried and wailed: "It's not fair, the convoy is moving forward, if the convoy stops, I should arrive first." ”

"Who told you to choose that side. The victor crossed his hips with one hand and said proudly: "Who is to blame for the wrong path you have chosen? Hahahaha. ”

Two people were arguing, and a third figure also appeared in the wilderness, also holding a small magical beast in his hand.

"Mr. Pannis. Freya seemed to find something interesting: "Why are your eyebrows so tight, and does it make you so uncomfortable to stay here?"

"No, there's something else. Pannis shouted to Erlan, who had been at the front of the line, "Captain, come back, I have something to talk to you about." ”

"Did you find anything wrong? Mr. Pannis. Freya's speech became normal at this time: "I remember Catherine said that you often find hidden dangers that others don't notice, which is very powerful. ”

"Don't you think it's strange?" said Pannis, "the boys came back too quickly. ”

"Haha, it's good to hurry up. As soon as Irlan came over, he heard Pannis's words: "Hurry up and explain that the children's hunting level has improved, and they will soon be able to harvest." ”

"No, Captain Erlan. Catherine's sudden appearance startled Erlan: "This is not normal, if all the people who returned have a catch, it means that they have easily hunted at least twenty prey." You should have walked this road a few times, is this speed possible given the density of demonic beasts here, or even counting the beasts?"

After all, Erlan has served in the top echelons of the city guard for many years, and has lost his original vigilance, and only after being reminded by Catherine did he realize the strangeness of the situation, and called a member of the team with a calm face and asked, "Did you find anything when you were hunting?"

"No, Captain. The team members didn't know what was going on, and said excitedly: "I just found this little fox in a dry thatch in the wilderness, as for the rest of the situation, there is nothing." ”

"Where?" asked Erlan, "where did you find it?"

"Well, the location, it's not far from here, about two kilometers. The team members were a little puzzled by the attitude shown by Aerlan: "Captain, is there something wrong?"

"How many of you, are you all prey found nearby?" Irlan didn't answer him, and asked in a loud voice, in exchange for everyone nodding in affirmation.

"You see, there's a problem. Catherine said: "The density of prey here is so great that it seems to be ...... Someone is helping us drive us away. ”

"It's not a drive, the drive should be able to see the traces of the drive. Catherine found that she was not optimistic, and Pannis had already reappeared on the roof of the car and looked around: "Within two kilometers, no, within three kilometers, I can guarantee that there will be no signs of human activity." ”

"No, Mitemon, get the car to the side of the road and set up the fortifications with the carriage. Since Erlan found out about the problem, he immediately commanded calmly: "Bastards, you guys also get out of here to help, the speed must be fast, I'm afraid the nearby demonic beasts will gather to deal with us." ”

"Why are the monsters concentrated, does anyone want to attack us?" The difference between novices and veterans was immediately apparent, the novices in the city guard were still asking questions in a daze, and the veterans had already taken action and began to use carriages to arm the defense according to the captain's orders.

The carriage used by the wedding party is a special model with very strong safety performance. The walls of the carriage were not only made of heavy double solid wood, but also the thin metal plate inlaid in the middle of the two layers of wood, which was resistant to blows and penetration, reaching a surprising height, and several cars were simply connected together to form a solid fortification.

The members of the wedding team are just ordinary people, they didn't expect this kind of change at all, sitting in the car at a loss, Erlan reluctantly asked a few female team members to get in the car to comfort everyone, telling them that they just need to sit in the car and don't move. When the passengers of each car were pacified, the team members closed the windows on the outside of several cars, and then pulled down the metal baffles outside the windows to lock them, and a set of ring-shaped impermeable solid defenses appeared in the open space by the roadside.

"Captain, is anyone really attacking us?" only then did the group of veterans relax and ask Erlan, "Who is it?"

"Don't be kidding, how can there be a group of thieves with such a force so close to the Holy Capital?"

"Idiot, apart from the Thieves, do you think there is any other force that would dare to attack the City Guards so easily?"

"Maybe it's the monster spontaneous, just like the monster invasion in the Flash Forest and the beast tide in the Monster Forest every year. ”

"If you don't read too many novels, you won't listen to them, and you'll make people stupid. You don't even think about it, can this place be the same as the two places you said? There is no comparison at all. ”

"Shut up. Pannis's roar finally interrupted the noise interference of the team members, and he was finally able to explore the surroundings with his ears in a quiet environment: "I heard, there are indeed a lot of demonic beasts coming. Everyone hurry up and get on the roof of the car to arm, this time I'm afraid the other party will make a big move. ”

"Is there really anyone going to oppose us?" said one of the city guards in surprise, "It's impossible, this is a neutral place, who is so bold?"

"Stop talking nonsense. Erlan jumped on the roof of the car first: "One squad and two squads, you go to car No. 1, team No. 5 of squad three, squad four is responsible for remote support, Miss Catherine, car No. 3 and No. 4 on the other side will be handed over to you, no pressure." ”

"No problem. Catherine took a few steps back and forth on the roof of the car to confirm the sturdiness of her feet: "Leave it to us, there are basically low-level demonic beasts here, which are easy to defend, tell everyone not to be too nervous, just follow the methods taught during training." If there is a big guy who is not easy to deal with, shout a warning, and we will deal with it in time. ”

"Pannis. Lina stood on tiptoe on the roof of the car and looked into the distance: "In this situation, is someone controlling these magical beasts?"

"It's hard to say. Pannis pouted: "I suspect it's a druid, and it's a rare class for humans, we seem to be in a relationship with a rare class this time, I'd like to see what other weird guys can come out." ”

"I feel more and more like President Carla on the other side is doing something behind my back. Catherine smiled bitterly and said, "Except for the president of the Mercenary Guild, who else has the ability to mobilize so many strange people. (To be continued.) )
