Chapter 163: Grapevine and Monsters

"No new orders have been issued in a week?" Ryan's eyes widened in confusion, he didn't know and wasn't going to understand the military, but he could personally see that now was the most rapidly changing moment in the situation on the battlefield, what was the Antelli ruling class thinking to keep the national army in a state of flux at such a moment?

"The final order was for the front-line troops to search for Sir Rorick Hart, who had been wrongly convicted as the King's Assassin, and escort him back to Sardenberg. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info this horse...... Who has the strength to live or die a Midlander in this war that is vital to the survival of Antelli!" said the officer uneasily, "I have heard from Sardenburg that a mysterious woman came down from heaven and entered the palace a few days ago, and that the last order was given that day. According to the grapevine, Duke Tully has returned to his northern territory since then, and the kingdom's guardian Bol Swordmaster has been missing since that day, and it is likely that he has fled the country, and I have admired him for so many years...... I don't have a way to verify the truth of this news right now, but if it's true, then these big guys are really damned!"

"Hmm...... Truly. Ryan nodded in agreement, "But it doesn't make sense, with the political structure and ideological differences between the north and the south, shouldn't the nobles of the north resist desperately, right? What the phrase says, 'Everything is the property of the Empire!'"

"That's true, but now not only are a large number of Kingdom troops wasting time here, but Anteli's friends are also baffled. The surrounding military allies have all gathered the first batch of reinforcements to come to support, but they have been on the border for several days and have not waited for our royal family's entry permit!" The officer complained worriedly, and his voice was so loud that everyone else on the side could hear it: "It is impossible for the reinforcements to break through the border defense and force their way in, and make a famous division of support like a robbery, but if it drags on any longer...... Damn, God knows what happened!"

......

I was suddenly rehabilitated, a mysterious woman who fell from the sky, let the army find herself without fighting?

How could the Evolution Society have so much power to influence a war?

The perfect human who was raised with great difficulty is missing, so I must be in a hurry.

Rhodes' brain spun again, and he noticed that someone was staring at him, and turned his head to see Nikita's eyes wide open at her, and she recognized her own shaved hair...... The boy glared at the little liar, and she quickly bowed her head and remained silent.

"Maybe you're right not to join the army, I feel bad...... stout officer patted Rod on the shoulder, "Maybe we will really lose this war, don't delay your good life, good luck to you." ”

Rod sighed equally unpretentiously: "Good luck to you too." ”

The officer sighed and left, leaving the three of them in place, and Nikita couldn't hold back: "Big brother, you didn't kill the king, why...... The whole world is looking for you?"

Rhodes began to worry that this little girl would get into trouble for herself, so he sternly admonished her: "Don't tell outsiders that I am the person the army is looking for, if you remember that I saved you." ”

"I won't be big brother," Nikita saw the boy's serious expression, and quickly showed his loyalty, "but...... They obviously admit that you are not the King's Assassin, and you are going to be escorted to Sardenburg?"

"Don't worry about that, just keep your mouth shut. Rod shook his head, the moment he escaped from the arena, he had decided that he would never leave his fate in the hands of anyone else, especially when it was still unclear who the enemy was.

"Understood. The girl nodded obediently and muttered with some regret: "Big brother, did you shave your head to escape......?

"Huh?" Rod looked at her quizzically.

"Nothing, nothing, it's still good. ”

"Something. Rod was confused by this little girl's ability to jump more than himself.

Ruien also laughed mercilessly on the side: "Your eldest brother almost lost his life several times, but you are worried about his hair?"

"I was wrong. The girl also realized something, and shook her head with a red face.

Ignoring her, Rhodes and Ryan walked along the "street" between the tents to the other end of the camp, looking for a better place to stay overnight.

......

Before they could find it, a scream rang from the edge of the camp. Everyone who heard the sound was shocked, and at first Rhodes thought that Midland's army had killed him...... However, he found that many evacuees had gathered in the place where the screams were coming from, so he and Ryan walked towards that side.

"You're a monster hunter, aren't you?" Before he could get closer, someone pointed at Ryan, who was carrying a long sword, and shouted, "There's work here, come here!"

Ryan walked over, and several refugees with wooden sticks were standing nervously at the edge of the camp, with a few small children hiding behind them.

"What happened. ”

"Someone saw strange creatures in the woods that they had never seen before. A man said, holding an old-looking crossbow in his hand, the strings taut and worried that it would rot in the next second, "People, come here." ”

A child who looked smaller than Nikita and was covered in mud approached.

"Tell the Hunter what you saw, be more detailed. ”

The child nervously opened his mouth: "That thing looks like a big crab, basin...... No, a crab the size of a wheel, but it doesn't have the obvious pincers of a crab, but it has a long scorpion-like tail......"

Ryan sighed, "Okay, I almost see what you mean, that thing has a carapace and a tail, how tall and big is it?"

"So high. The child compared his waist, "Maybe not, but it's lying on the ground, and if it stands up, it will definitely be more than that." ”

"What did it do when you encountered it?"

"I was playing hide and seek among the trees with a few friends...... At first I didn't notice it at all, it was motionless like a stump, and then when Amy passed by it, it suddenly jumped up and pounced on her, and I was watching from a short distance and ran back. ”

"What about the family of the man who was pounced?"

"An orphan," explained the man standing nearby, "the people of the village barely fed it little by little...... Seeing that he was at an age where he could work, get married, and have children, this happened. ”

"You adults are also funny, and dare to let children play hide and seek in the Cavehall Forest. Ryan sneered, "It's not as dangerous as the primeval forests of the Central Mountains, but in what year no one dies in it?" ”

"Of course you find that monster and kill it, how many children are in this camp under threat!" said the man, "aren't you here to do this?" ”

"Indeed, let's negotiate the price first. ”

"We are such poor homeless people, do you still need to take money. ”

"I've never been at home, isn't it even more pitiful?" the hunter snorted contemptuously, "The creatures that attack humans are the most dangerous targets to hunt, and I can't give people my life for free, for the sake of everyone fleeing, I can give a little discount." ”
