Chapter 11: The Beasts and the Knights
Praised by the lord's son, Kudin's eyes lit up, and he said proudly: "When you are idle and bored, you can do it casually." Noticing Tucker's gaze wandering over the woodwork, he hurriedly asked, "My lord, what do you like, count it as a gift from me?" ”
"Haha, then you're welcome." Tucker grinned, reached out and grabbed a statue of a winged eaglet in his hand, looked at it from all angles with satisfaction, and placed a copper coin in its place.
"My lord, I can't help it, I gave you something, and I don't need money." Kudin hurriedly picked up the copper coin, but was glared at by Tucker and moved.
Not to mention, the momentum is quite scary.
Contrary to the excitement, LTECH himself did not immerse himself too much in the evening.
He left halfway through the party and came to the grassy pasture to feel the weather today.
"Obviously, the simulator mentioned that there will be extremely cold weather at night, but not only is it not cold during the day, but there is a trace of mildness on the contrary. Even now, there is no noticeable chill.
Who would have thought that the temperature would plummet at night, bringing extremely cold winds? Leiter said inwardly.
Two hours later, LTECH keenly felt a noticeable change in temperature, and it came strangely, suddenly plummeting without warning.
It's already at zero and it's slowly decreasing.
"Are you coming?" After realizing that something was wrong, Leiter hurriedly said to Sveta beside him: "You go to the central square and inform the civilians of the town that the temperature may drop sharply tonight, let them close the doors and windows and do a good job of protection, and the firewood in the house can also burn more." ”
"By the way, call Tucker and Ruilai again."
Thales doesn't like the scene very much, and Reiter knows that and he doesn't force him to come to the party tonight.
What's more, he has to go out to search tonight, and it is impossible to bring the weak Thales.
"Understood, sir, I'll go."
Sveta was a little surprised, but she still carried it out.
Three hours later.
At the gate of the town, Ray and his two sons, Ray and Tucker, wander around the town.
He came up with an excuse to prevent some monsters from operating at night or in extremely cold weather.
Generally, the strength of this kind of demonic beast is relatively strong, and there is a kind of dark frost wolf, which is a typical representative.
He had heard from Ruilai that five years ago, a small pack of Dark Frost Wolves had flowed from the Demon Beast Mountain Range.
Although the average strength was only second-order, in just a few days, three barony realms were wiped out.
It's really impossible for the Dark Frost Wolf to sneak up on it, especially at night, in a dark environment, the ability to move is three points stronger than during the day.
Fearless of the cold, agile speed, and mastery of ice magic, it became a nightmare for many barons and nobles at the time.
Later, several viscounts joined forces to exterminate this group of frost wolves.
Therefore, with this background, no one doubts Leighter's motives, but only thinks of danger in times of peace.
Tucker's physical fitness is beyond ordinary people, and it doesn't matter if it's cold and windy.
But as time passed, he still said suspiciously: "The temperature is still dropping, and it is getting colder and colder, and the weather is a little strange tonight......"
Both Raylai and Rett held up a thin layer of magic shields, blocking the surface of their bodies, which did not require much defense, and was enough to resist the cold.
"So we have to be more vigilant about accidents!" Reiter said.
Looking at the empty plain in the distance, Leiter said: "Let's go, let's patrol around the town for a while, and then we will circle around the town and gradually spread." ”
Tucker waved his arms and shouted excitedly, "All right, Father, I'll keep you in front of you." After saying that, he ran in front of Reiter.
"No need, you and Ruilai are right next to me, and I can be the first to react if there is an emergency." But Rett shook his head with a smile.
Ruilai didn't say much, and moved according to what his father said, but there was a strange color in his eyes.
He always felt that something was wrong with his actions tonight, but he couldn't say what was wrong.
The snow still exists outside Eagle Town, and at first glance, it looks more like a vast white blanket.
With Leiter leading the team, the three of them began to patrol in the direction of Eagle Town.
And the temperature is getting colder.
The circle they circled grew larger and larger, and gradually came to a point that was also a kilometer away from the town of Eagles in a straight line.
"Father, there seems to be a trail of footprints there." Relai reminded.
He pointed in a direction, and Lei Te looked over, and sure enough, there were footprints stepped by the demonic beast, and the traces were very obvious.
When he stepped forward, a flash of surprise flashed in Leiter's eyes.
"These footprints are the same size and size, and the route is very simple, not cluttered, there should be only one demonic beast.
The footprints are generally oval in shape, with seven thick toes, most likely ice-spiny bears. This monster loves cold weather and likes to be active at such times. After a little observation, Leiter made a judgment in his heart.
"Let's go, let's go over and take a look, it can be seen from the footprints of the Ice Thorn Bear that it is not very large, it must not be an adult, and the limit of its strength is a second-order demonic beast, so it is not to be afraid." With a wave of his hand, Leiter sped forward.
The thought of a possible battle made Tucker's blood boil, and at the same time he did not forget to praise: "My father is still thoughtful, this place is very close to the territory, if you don't come to see it, maybe there will be danger at night." ”
"Is it flowing from the Demon Beast Mountain Range again?" Ruilai's face froze, and he muttered, "It seems that the frequency of demonic beasts has been slightly higher in the past few days. ”
He remembered the wind wolf brought by his father, and the ice thorny bear that he had just discovered tonight, and two of them had been found in just a few days.
Normally, he and Tucker would only find a monster wandering around once a quarter.
He wrote it down, but he wasn't too worried, maybe it was just a coincidence.
He followed his father on his way forward, and soon after that, he made a new discovery.
Unlike the calm of the night, a fierce fight came from the front.
The chaotic sound was mixed with the roar of the beast and the roar of the human.
Leiter's face was happy, tonight's initiative to attack, rescue, compared with passive refuge, it is definitely easier to win some people's hearts and cultivate feelings.
After all, he has just returned from the front line, and the territory is in urgent need of manpower, especially advanced knights, which are also a considerable part of the territory's armed forces, and can play an important role in all aspects.
Such as territorial patrol, territorial security, territorial defense, escort caravans, and so on.
In the past, he was not in the territory, and it was normal for others to look down on the fledgling Eagle Town, and his sons had to do it themselves when they encountered big and small things.
But now with his return, it certainly can't be the same again.
Generally speaking, in addition to the elite talents of their own families, the nobles will attract loyal and reliable followers with certain talents.
These followers were also an important force for the nobility, and what Reiter needed so badly right now.
Take the few territories that are relatively close to Eagle Town, any baron, there are a few or even a dozen knights with foreign surnames under his command, and they are not the kind of apprentice knights.
The apprentice knights of Eagle Town, the current few are all selected from the town and slowly cultivated, and they are regarded as their own people.
"If the two first-order knights can join, it will definitely be a good start." A smile tugged at the corner of Leitt's mouth.
