Viru and Gulit led a cavalry detachment from the town of Dodan to patrol the border of the occupied zone in the northern area of the Dodan Gorge, and did not return through the northern wall until sunset.

For a whole afternoon, they almost walked the entire border line for which the town of Dodan was responsible.

The ogre Gullitham hunted a huge Northland bear in the forest, this man-bear stood on two feet, almost half a head taller than the three-meter-tall Gullitmu, and the moon pattern on the chest was clearly visible.

I don't know how the ogre used to find it out of the hole, and with the help of Andrew, he killed such a second-turn demonic beast.

The ogre cut off the head of the man-bear, and although it looked a little bloody, he happily put it on his head, ready to make a hat out of the man-bear's head.

This Northland bear rarely escapes from its burrow during the day.

Surdak stood at the door of the small building, holding on to the wooden railing with both hands, and asked the ogre with some puzzlement:

"Gullitham, how did you find such a large Northland bear?"

The ogre threw the one-tonne Northland bear on his shoulders to the ground, and the ground made a dull noise.

He's a fart. Sitting on the corpse of the Northland man-bear, he took off the bear's head on his head, and said happily: "Probably it smelled us and crawled out of the hole by itself, I didn't do anything at the time, I saw it poke its head out of a tree hole and wanted to bite a war horse, of course I can't easily let go of this kind of man-bear who doesn't even say hello and wants to eat our war horse, then pull Andrew to fight together!" ”

“…… It couldn't beat the two of us, and it still wanted to run, so I blocked the hole, and it had to wander around the woods, and finally Andrew cut off its head with an axe. The ogre recounted the battle in vivid voices, and seemed to be immersed in the fun.

Andrew turned over and jumped off his horse covered in blood, and asked one of his cavalrymen to carry two buckets of water to pour on his head, so as to wash off some of the blood stains on the 'Earth Shield' magic pattern structure, he wiped a handful of water stains on his face, and shook his wet hair, before walking to the side of the small building and sitting on the wooden steps wet.

When the ogre Gullitham saw Andrew coming, he couldn't wait to move the Northland bear to the cafeteria, ready to skin and eat the meat himself.

Andrew sat down and said to Surdak:

"We reached the border, the border is very vague, many of the boundary stones have been damaged, and we have found some indigenous tribes, who are preparing to migrate south, and when they see us appear, they immediately burrow into the woods, and they are quite hostile to us, they probably can't pass through the Dodan Gorge, if they don't take a detour, they will try to climb over this mountain......"

Surdak nodded, he knew that the territory of the Bednars in the White Forest Plane was very concentrated, and at the same time, it was not very large.

The lords of Bena Province have always wanted to develop more land on the White Forest Plane, but the northern border of the occupied zone has been slow to advance northward, and it is not only the Invercargill Warcraft Forest that is blocking the Legion's exploration, but also a larger part of the Legion's need to further squeeze the living space of the natives of the White Forest Plane.

Although these natives could not compete with the regular army, they were familiar with the surroundings and terrain, and they would always do some damage to the border line drawn by the Bednar army.

This directly led to an irreparable rift between the local natives and the Bena army, so even if the beast tide was coming, the indigenous tribes had no intention of borrowing the road to Dodan Town to avoid disaster.

Probably because of the deep hatred between the Bena people and the local indigenous tribes, Mayor Marco privately supported the slave traders to hunt adult men and women from the indigenous tribes, so he never caused any major trouble, otherwise the report letter to Mayor Marko would have been piled up in the mailbox of the Bena Provincial House of Representatives.

Andrew added: "Gullitham and I also went around the woodlands beyond the border, and the little beasts in the forest became very irritable, many of the beasts that had not reached heat began to mate, and some herbivores also became very aggressive, and their bodies seemed to be infected with some kind of power. ”

Really.......

Surdak knew that there would be no such second-level demonic beasts in the nearby forests.

Surdak said: "Could these beasts be affected by high-level demonic beasts, it is said that on the eve of the beast tide, there will be traces of high-level demonic beasts in the Invercargill Demonic Beast Forest......"

The guard at the gate of the barracks came over quickly, stood at the door of the small building and saluted Surdak and Andrew, and then reported:

"My lord, a local aboriginal has been standing at the gate of the barracks for a long time, and wants to see you."

Surdak and Andrew looked at each other and said:

"Let him in."

The guard at the gate turned back, and it wasn't long before he brought Aung San, the town's native, to Surdak.

"Your Excellency, please accept Aung San's most sincere thanks."

Aung San's body was almost lying on the ground, probably as a ritual for their aborigines.

The posture was strange, not kneeling, one leg of his leg stretched back, his body almost completely on the ground, his hands as if trying to touch Surdak's boots.

Surdak didn't want people to hold his feet, especially when he was still a middle-aged man.

He motioned for Aung San to stand up and speak, and asked him:

"Didn't you lead Mayor Marco in search of that bandit bandit? How's things going over there? ”

Aung San stood up respectfully and replied to Surdak:

"We were able to find the remains of the bandits, and found the stolen goods on them, and confirmed that they were the robbers who looted the slave hunts, and we were cleared of our guilt, and I was acquitted. The mayor of the town is preparing to transport the remains back to the town of Dodan, and it is said that the robber bodies are going to be sent to the adventure union. ”

"It seems that the adventurous union and traders' side will need to pay some price to appease Mayor Marco's anger!" Surdak turned to Andrew and said.

Andrew looked disdainful, as if he didn't want to judge the mayor, and it seemed that he had a very bad impression of him.

Surdak instructed Aung San: "In the future, you must also observe the time to return to the town, and always climb the city wall to enter the city like this, which can be a big or small thing for the city guards." ”

Aung San immediately agreed: "Not only me, but also the gatherers in Dodan will take this as a warning from now on." ”

Hearing Aung San claiming to be a gatherer, Surdak remembered his identity and asked him, "By the way, Aung San, since you are the most famous gatherer in the town, you must be familiar with the Monster Forest?" ”

Aung San replied: "I have been collecting all kinds of herbs and precious mushrooms over there all year round, although I don't dare to go deep into the Warcraft Forest, but no one in the edge of the forest is more familiar with this forest than me, and I also know the territory of some high-level Warcraft, and I can find some gaps in the edge of their territory and enter deeper parts of the forest, and that silver-leaved grass is what I took the risk of bringing back from the depths of the forest." ”

Surdak rubbed his brows and asked Aung San, "What is the current situation in the Warcraft Forest?" ”

Aung San frowned and said: "The forest is currently chaotic, originally even some high-level demonic beasts living on the edge of the forest have their own territories, but now more demonic beasts have come out of the depths of the forest, and they have begun to encroach on the area on the edge of the forest, and now in the demonic beast forest, there are demonic beasts fighting all the time." ”

He glanced at Surdak, hesitated a little in his heart, lowered his head and thought for a while, before deciding to say what he knew:

"Lord Commander, I know what you want to know, at that time I was still the youngest gatherer in the town, I experienced that beast tide, and now many harbingers in the Warcraft Forest are very similar to ten years ago, but I am afraid that this state will continue for a while, the beasts in the edge area of the Warcraft Forest alone cannot form a beast tide at all, and it will not form a beast tide until those low-level demonic beasts living in the depths of the forest are driven out by high-level demonic beasts, and now it is far from forming a scale."

Hearing Aung San say this, Surdak breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and finally it was not just after arriving in Dodan Town that the beast tide broke out.

Surdak then said to Aung San:

"After this beast tide, I plan to go to the Invercargill Monster Forest, but I haven't found a suitable guide yet, I don't know if you are willing to lead the way for us?"

"We're here to help!"

Aung San puffed up his chest and readily agreed.

……

In the early morning, Surdak was still sleeping in bed, and a meter of sunlight shone into the room through the gap in the curtains.

Selena got out of bed early, put her breakfast on the table, and took Signa and Nika to the town's store to buy groceries.

When Surdak woke up, he got out of bed and ate a pan-fried bear steak.

Only then did he put on a standard heavy armor and rode out of the barracks.

Samira and Gulitham had already left the barracks with a group of cavalry, and when Surdak walked out of the camp, he saw the tail of the cavalry passing through the doorway of the wall.

On the way, I saw some natives, who retreated to both sides of the street, and although they kept their heads down, they still secretly looked at Surdak.

It seemed that word had spread about what had happened in the town square yesterday, and that his actions seemed to have won some goodwill from some of the local natives, and although many of the eyes that were cast at him were still deeply guarded, at least those eyes also showed some kindness.

When I passed by the trading house in the town, I saw a whole row of four-wheeled carriages parked at the door, and the men in the trading house were loading supplies into the carts, and it seemed that this trading house was about to make a big move.

I don't know what kind of agreement Mayor Marco reached with the boss behind the trading house last night......

Surdak rode to the town hall in Dodan Town, and with the full overhaul of the knights of the guard battalion, the guard at the entrance of the hall immediately straightened up and gave him a military salute.

Jumping off the horse, the guards on the side hurriedly took the reins of the horse from Surdak's hand and led him to the stable on the side of the courtyard of the town hall.

Surdak didn't speak, and went straight up the stairs into the hall on the first floor, and standing in front of the reception desk was a young lady, her eyes fell on the noble badge on Surdak's chest, and she immediately stood up.

Before she could ask, Surdak went straight up the stairs to the side and went up to the second floor.

When passing through the corridor on the second floor, some officials in the town still looked at Surdak with surprised expressions, but no one greeted him.

Surdak inquired about Mayor Marko's office with a clerk and walked straight to the innermost part of the hallway.

Pushing open the wooden door of the mayor's office, the secretary, Lady Luna, sat at her desk in surprise, looking up at Surdak.

This kind of office is a room with a coat inside, and Mrs. Luna sits at the desk in the outer room.

"Is Mayor Marco here?" Surdak asked.

Mrs. Luna was about to say, 'Mayor Mare hasn't come ...... yet,' but when she saw Surdak's almost perceptive eyes, her heart trembled slightly, and she replied:

"In ...... Commander Surdak, you didn't make an appointment in advance, do you need me to make an appointment for you? The mayor is preparing to meet the guests. ”

After speaking, she hurriedly lowered her head and flipped through the parchment notebook.

Surdak said directly:

"I didn't plan to take up Mayor Marco's time too much, it only took three minutes, and it wouldn't affect his appointment."

After saying that, there was no need for Lady Luna to go inside to ask Mayor Marco and walk over directly...... Pushed open the door in the back room.

Mayor Marco was sitting at his desk, holding a beautiful young clerk in his arms, both hands already in her shirt.

"Mayor ......"

Lady Luna caught up with Surdak with an embarrassed expression...... Crying and screaming into the room.

Surdak stood in the doorway, looking at Mayor Marco with a blank expression.

Mayor Marco was able to hold his breath, and he didn't even hurry to sort out the shirt and skirt for the female clerk before patting the female clerk's ass. She was told to leave, and the female clerk, whose cheeks were red from her neck to her neck, ran out of the door.

Mayor Marco sat up straight and casually instructed Lady Luna:

"Lady Luna, please come in and make us a cup of tea."

As if nothing had happened just now, he asked Surdak:

"Commander Surdak, what are you doing with me?"

Surdak walked into the mayor's office, looked at the chair in front of the desk with great disgust, and did not sit down, but looked around the room casually before saying to Mayor Marko:

"I'm here to remind you that the command of the city defense guard is under the unified jurisdiction of the garrison camp, and when I handed over the defense of Dodan Town with Deputy Commander Maynard, I didn't hand over the command of the city defense guard, I think the command of the guard is probably in your hands, so I came over to hand over to the mayor......."

The door to the mayor's office was not closed, and Lady Luna stood in the doorway with a tea tray, looking at Surdak with a shocked expression.

There were also a few town officials in the corridor who passed by the doorway, passing by the mayor's office...... Seeing Mayor Marco's face flushed, he was so angry that even the hand holding the pen was shaking, and he hurriedly walked a few steps away from this place of right and wrong.
