In the middle of the desert, the remnants of the defeated generals of the Sand Wolf Clan were dejected, and they slowly trekked behind the three brothers of the leader.

Compared to those human mercenaries, each team has some sand boats as a means of transportation, and these are originally wanted by the Lothar Alliance, and the sand bandits who managed to escape from the hinterland of the desert are obviously not such extravagant tools. But fortunately, the desert wolf clan is originally a race that has lived in the desert for generations, so they are quite accustomed to traveling in the desert.

Not far from the direction of the sand wolf clan, there is a small oasis that no one is around, which is the temporary hiding place that the three sand wolf brothers chose to destroy and do evil everywhere after the three sand wolf brothers led their team out of the ruins. The small oasis is small in size and has only a few resources, so in order to allow the clansmen who have experienced a fierce battle to rest, the three brothers have driven away the fallen demonic beasts they had summoned to help last night for their carefully planned action to take over people.

Luther and the others will definitely contact the other depraved mercenary squads in the desert to snipe the two girls, and maybe even alarm the person in the ruins, but in any case, this little "seed" that they discovered first seems to have nothing to do with them anymore.

None of the three sand wolf brothers who walked in the front spoke much, because they couldn't say anything that could boost morale, but fortunately, they were silent, and even the atmosphere with the group was dull, but it made the defeated atmosphere of the whole team even heavier.

However, just as they estimated that they had only walked less than half the distance, suddenly the three leading brothers stopped at the same time and looked up at the desert in the distance opposite.

"Big brother, that's ...... Sand boat?"

The third sand wolf, who was holding the second child on the side, looked at his eldest brother and asked with some uncertainty.

The sand wolf boss squinted his eyes, it was indeed a little unusual to encounter a small lonely sand boat in such a place.

The other party only has a small sand boat, which means that it is a small team of four or five people at most, and besides, this is not near the trade route between Freeport and the hinterland of the Lothar Alliance, so neither merchants nor mercenaries should be able to wander around here.

“...... It's just a human adventurer who doesn't know whether to live or die, right?"

The sand wolf boss said in a somewhat contemptuous tone.

As the largest race on the continent of Ares, there will always be some restless people who call themselves adventurers, and they will casually go to various dangerous places on the continent with the delusion that they think they are romantic. These adventurers always claim that they are different from those vulgar mercenaries who also go in and out of the mainland, not to sell their skills and lives for some mundane things, but to discover the beauty of this world that is still unknown, but in fact, a closer investigation can tell that most of the rumors and accurate information about novelties from all over the mainland come from the mouths of mercenaries, as for those naïve adventurers, their survival rate in the wild is often more pitiful than people think.

"Look at what they do, if they run away, there's no way, if they dare to lean over, hehe......"

The sand wolf boss said this, and motioned to the clansmen behind him to come out, and a group of people who still had some combat strength to occupy the front and prepare to seize the boat.

This is also the sand wolf boss guessed that the other party is likely to be a small group of adventurers to do this, if it is a mercenary or a businessman who is accustomed to the ecology of the southwest desert, he will not fight the other party's idea at all, because those humans who are familiar with the desert in the desert will definitely withdraw as soon as they see a large group of people here from a distance, as long as they have lived in the desert for a period of time, whether it is a human or an orc, they will understand that it is very stupid to test the etiquette and morality between strangers in a treacherous place like the desert, especially when encountering a group of strangers who are far more numerous than their own。

However, if these things happen to those adventurers with naïve dreams, it is not certain, for these little experts who think that they are here to pass on beautiful friendships and collect strange things, they meet a small village on the road without saying a word, and go in to find a kind and kind old man to ask for water is their unique skill, and more senior adventurers will even take this opportunity to ask for directions in name of asking for directions, but in fact they are secretly observing whether there is a beautiful granddaughter in the old grandfather's house who is worried about something, so that they can have a hero-saving American-style encounter with themselves...... Ahem, the last paragraph is purely someone's personal opinion......

As the sand wolf boss expected, the sand boat on the opposite side was getting closer and closer, and the sand wolf boss could even clearly see that there were two beautiful human girls and a bald uncle at the helm behind the sand boat. The faces of the three of them did not show any resentment or suspicion because they suddenly encountered a group of strangers who looked embarrassed on the desert, but one of the two little girls with glasses looked at them and looked very happy.

Sure enough, it was a group of adventurers who didn't know the height of the sky, and they casually leaned over to talk to them, the "suspected aborigines", hum, okay, after taking this good-looking sand boat and capturing these three people, he didn't mind chatting with them about the customs here, especially about the hidden dangers in the desert...... But then again, I couldn't see it clearly when I was far away just now, but now I look closer, and the two little human girls standing on the sand boat are very beautiful......

A black straight gothic loli group of girls, the other girl is wearing a black trench coat and big glasses, looking at the two beautiful girls in front of him who are as young and cute as those little monsters in the Sural tribe before, the sand wolf boss is unusually uneasy in the depths of his heart.

Because of a pair of wolf sisters who are equally cute and powerful, the sand wolf boss has unconsciously had a psychological shadow on this kind of little girl who looks small and cute.

No, no, no, no, how can that little pervert be everywhere, what happened to the Sural tribe is just that they are too unlucky, if the little girls in this world are all of that strength, then he might as well just change his career and resell the two pairs of dolls and lollipops with artifacts

Thinking so, the sand wolf boss motioned to his subordinates to prepare, and then looked at Shazhou with a hospitable aboriginal A on his face, ready to trick the other party closer before making a move.

However, just as the sand boat gradually approached, the sand wolf boss suddenly realized that something was wrong.

If he was not mistaken, the small sand boat that was heading towards the position of the three brothers at the head of the group...... Doesn't seem to be slowing down?

Moreover, the bespectacled girl on the sand boat, although she seemed to be quite happy to see them, the two things she took out from behind her...... It's a magic bolt, right?

When the three sand wolf brothers realized that something was not right, the words of the glasses girl also happened to reach their ears:

“...... Finally found it.,It's just a bunch of annoying male wolves who let Miss Ben and the cute Xingxi-chan run so far to find it.,Obediently be wiped out!"

－－－

In the evening, the Sural tribe, the hut where the Loris squad stayed.

"In the name of the earth, you will always be the benefactors of my Minotaur clan!"

Chief Qiu En, who was wrapped in a rough bandage, solemnly bent down and bowed to the team in the room in thanks.

"Ah, please, please don't ...... like that"

Sakura and the three of them subconsciously wanted to say something in a panic, but they were unanimously unconfident. In the battlefield just now, not only did they not help, but they also caused chaos to their comrades, no matter what kind of reason and excuse there was, their hearts were now full of deep self-blame and guilt, and they didn't think that they had the slightest qualification to be the object of Qiu En's thanks.

And Yiping, Ji Xiangtian and Raphael, who had been in the house all along, were even more at a loss. They also heard about what was happening on the battlefield and knew that in the end, thanks to Cherus and Nanoha who broke through and took away the attackers at their own risk, they were able to save many of the Sural tribesmen. The biggest heroes, Chelus and Nanoha, still don't know whether they are safe or not, and they have been sitting here and doing nothing, but they are so solemnly thanked by Qiu En, and the embarrassment in the hearts of the three of them is not much less than that of Sakura.

As a result, the team members unanimously set their sights on the only person present who was deemed qualified to accept Qiu En's apology.

Feeling the gaze of his partners, he was using the contract link to sense that the gray wind where Chelus was at the moment was no longer in a daze, and turned to Qiu En, who maintained a bent posture.

"Chief Qiu, you don't have to. ”

Grey Wind said as he remembered the way Cheruth usually spoke. Usually this kind of thing is always in charge of Cheruth or Harrow, and Sister Wolf is not good at dealing with others.

"You've issued a commission, and we're just doing the corresponding task. ”

Having said that, Gray Wind himself felt that this way of comfort was really a bit lame, and he was obviously saying that his team had received the wrong task before.

But fortunately, Qiu En finally understood Gray Wind's intention to comfort him, and raised his body again to look at Gray Wind, who seemed to be a little distracted, I don't know if Gray Wind was recalling how Gray Wind had dealt with this kind of occasion in the past, Qiu En only thought that Gray Wind was worried about the safety of Gray Wind and the others, so he spoke very seriously.

"Gray Wind Small...... Classmate," Qiu En, who looked at Sister Wolf's invincible face and almost called her little sister, suddenly changed his mind when he thought of the other party's ability to abuse the second sand wolf and the leaders and masters in the human mercenary group into scum, "In any case, I'm really sorry to put Captain Cheruth and your companions in danger for our Sural, and after arranging the evacuation of the clansmen, I will personally bring some elite warriors who still have combat power in the clan to look for Captain Cheruth and their whereabouts." ”

Blindly searching for someone in the desert is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, but for the Minotaurs who don't know that Grey Wind can sense the location of Cheruth, it is a sign of their sincerity.

Gray Wind blinked, but became interested in the other message in Qiu En's words.

"Chief Qiu, you're getting out of here?"
