Chapter 3: Abandoned Training Ground
By the time Lista returned to Kuhan, it was already dark, and the mercenary group could still see people in the office with candles lit.
"It's not going to be noisy, is it?"
Because of the changes in the training ground, Lista didn't care so much, and directly pushed the door in.
Marley "I have nothing more to say, if you want me to repeat the same thing over and over again, then please leave"
As soon as he entered, he saw Marley arguing with a short-haired blonde woman in a knight's uniform.
Woman: "Humph! I can't communicate with you, so call the head of your Kablaan mercenary group, and I need to talk to him. ”
Marley: "Our regimental commander was seriously injured while you stood by and watched, and he is still sick in bed, heh, even if he is not injured, I guess he will not see you." ”
The woman rubbed her forehead and continued, "Okay!!, I can't see your head of the regiment, I see that there will be no progress at all, I will go back today, and when your head recovers, I will come to visit again." The woman's every word revealed anger, but she still tried to maintain her grace, and then got up and left, "Tell you the head of the regiment that I've been here, Ellis, let's go." ”
Ellis: "Yes, yes!" That, then...."
"Gone!!"
"Ah!! Okay, goodbye everyone. ”
......
Marley: "Hmph, you can't help yourself..."
Kaiyala "Marley!! Caiara saw that Lista had returned, but Marley seemed to be angry, and did not notice Lista, who had been sitting at the door for a long time, so he touched Marley.
Marley: "Oh, what are you doing, poking me in the ribs...... Ah, recruit, here you are! ”
He adjusted his state, took a deep breath, and continued, "Although the regimental commander is still sick in bed, if you are here, I will definitely praise you, good job, recruits, especially Tyr..... Especially if you can bring the priestess out safely, what will happen to you without you and Fiona.... Anyway, welcome to the Kablac Mercenary Regiment, hahaha, good time"
Lista "The deputy head of the regiment is polite, and everyone will be colleagues in the future" Although Lista is not new to society, he is still very shy in communicating with people.
Marley: "Haha, you're too polite, then, I'll go to our training ground with you tomorrow to practice." ”
Kaiyala: "Others have already been"
Marley: "When...."
Kaiyala "went on the way to our deputy head of the regiment to quarrel with someone else"
Marley "Hehe, I've been arguing for so long" Marley has never taken off his helmet, but he is still embarrassed to buckle his head. helmet
Lista cleared his throat and replied, "Captain Marley, I have something to report!" ”
Marley: "Huh? ”
Kaiyala: "Huh? ”
Lista: "When I finished training at the training ground, a large number of werewolves moved into the training ground and built fortifications. ”
Marley"?? Werewolves in the training ground? Nothing like this has happened so far, so what now? Ma Li thought for a moment and continued, "Since Commander Aidan is not here, then I will give the task, eh....... So, tomorrow, you find Fiona to investigate the ruins of the north and see what the situation is. ”
Marley: "By the way, can you confirm what this is" After saying that, Marley pulled out the necklace that Aidan had picked up at the clock tower yesterday. "This is something that the regimental commander picked up in the clock tower yesterday, and as you know, after discovering this thing, we were attacked, and because of this, the regimental commander was also seriously injured.... There are even brothers of the mercenary group who died because of this....."
Speaking of this, it was obvious that he could feel Marley's sadness, but Marley quickly adjusted back, "But as far as I know, this red necklace is a sign that means demons." ”
Kaiyala: "But werewolves don't belong to the demon race, huh?" ”
Marley: "That's the problem, I mean, the demons, have been at war with us humans, and the werewolves don't belong to them, but this time they attacked us..... So, Lista, you are also a personal witness of this incident, I hope you and Fiona will investigate this matter together, and, don't look at the large number of our mercenary group, but there are not many who can really go to the battlefield, call Fiona tomorrow, you two will come back after investigating, don't have any accidents"
Lista took the necklace, looked at Marley meaningfully, and then nodded very hard, "Captain, don't worry, there will be no accidents"
Lista, who came out of the mercenary group, put away the necklace of the demons, but was still thinking about Marley's concern just now, although Marley's concern was not as obvious as he said, but this concern should be felt by Kaiyala on the side, for Lista, for so long, he has been speaking with strength in the gladiatorial arena, and no one will care about whether a gladiator is safe or not, although he has always aimed to become a knight of the kingdom, but from this first step to becoming a knight, he has already felt that he has never experienced it, so-called, Caring for each other......
Boom!!
Thinking while walking, Lista was distracted and unconsciously bumped into the oncoming person.
Lista "I'm sorry, sir, I ......"
Lista is not short, at least about 175, but just now Lista only hit the man's chest, seeing that this man with short brown hair was carrying a giant sword about the same width as him, but he didn't feel the slightest difficulty, he patted his chest.
The man, "Be careful, boy, don't pretend to hurt yourself" Although the man's words felt arrogant, his tone was indeed bold, "Here, it's Kuhan."
Lista "Yes"
Strange as it may seem, the man was clearly a newcomer to Kuhan, but he had come to a village late at night and ran to the blacksmith's shop.
"What a strange person"
Lista can't care about so much, the only thing he wants now is to get a good night's sleep, then find Sister Na, and then complete the task excellently.
Early in the morning, Lista is woken up by Fiona outside the hotel.
"Lista!"
"Lista is up"
"Lista"
"Please, Sister Na, stop shouting"
"Leigh...."
Lista quickly washed up, put on his equipment and greeted Tyr, and when he went out, he saw Fiona waiting for him, Fiona put on the armor again, but the armor was so heavy that it still couldn't hide Fiona's good figure, and it added a bit of unique flavor.
Fiona: "Marley, that kid has already told me, let's go, let's go!" ”
Lista stretched widely, "Let's go, let's go."
The two checked their equipment and made their way to the road.
.....
Seeing the two leaving, Tyr hid his face and smiled softly, "The village has been really lively lately, and so is the tall man who smashed Uncle Fergus's shop last night." ”
"Cardin, are you okay?" the worried girl sat on a chair in the hotel, watching the flow of people in the village, but thinking about the distance.....
.....
Lista "Sister Na, you say, why don't we have horses in our mercenary group?"
Fiona: "Huh? No money"
Lista: "No money? ”
Fiona "Ang, no money, what do you think, our mercenary group usually has no tasks, and if there are tasks, they are all day jobs, if it weren't for the occasional sponsorship of the Knights, it is estimated that they would have been disbanded"
Lista: "Oh... That's right."
Fiona: "Regret it?" Haha, the mercenary group is like this, good tasks will be snatched away by the knights, and the troublesome tasks that don't have a few money are thrown to us, so yesterday Marley was so angry, and Marley was also upset for the entire mercenary group. ”
Lista "said Captain Marley, he...."
Fiona "Haven't Seen"
Lista: "How do you know I want to ask him what it looks like to take off his helmet"
Fiona "Hahahahaha"
......
The two talked along the way, and soon reached the edge of the northern ruins, and the two hid in the woods on the side of the road, lowered their bodies, and approached the training ground little by little.
Fiona: "This..."
The two of them had already walked in enough, and saw the corpses of the werewolves along the way, and the two of them stepped over the corpses and walked to the center of the training ground, and saw dozens of werewolf corpses lying everywhere, lying on the ground, embedded in the walls, hanging in the sky, and even with their heads planted on the ground.....
Lista "What kind of ruthless people did this, I don't see any traces of large-scale marches around here, I guess it was done by one person"
Fiona: "And, you see, none of these werewolves had a single knife wound, they all died from blunt weapons or fists"
Sure enough, when Lista took a closer look at the corpses, he found that the werewolves were all bruised and swollen before they died.
Lista "That, this is too strong" The two swallowed their saliva, each thinking to themselves, if it were dozens of werewolves for the two of them, it would probably be enough to choke, but look at this scene.... If it's enough to choke, it won't knock the enemy into the sky.
Fiona looked at Lista, "No way, let's go deeper and go to the territory of the wolf clan to see what they are doing"
"Hmm"
Bypassing the training ground was a flat area, but a large white ruin could be seen just a few hundred meters away, and Lista only looked at it and thought that this ruin was several Kuhan sizes.
Fiona: "This flat land is the dividing line between us and the werewolves"
The two walked for dozens of minutes, and finally came to the edge of the ruins, and Lista had just stepped into the ruins, whoosh! An arrow was fired at the two men, and then a gray-furred werewolf appeared with a dozen werewolves and surrounded them.
"Human, forbidden..... Wolves," the gray werewolf informatted Lista and Fiona in human language
Fiona "Calm down, we just wanted to ask why you attacked us at the clock tower the day before yesterday"
The gray werewolf smiled ugly, "I... I don't know."
"So, what is this" Lista took out the red necklace representing the demons from her bag. "You wolf clan, you shouldn't belong to the demon clan, why did we find this at the scene?"
"Whew!!!" The werewolf who saw the demon symbol sneered, waved his hand, and then left the sight of the two of them.
Fiona "Lista, be careful, he's going to kill us"
As soon as Fiona finished speaking, the werewolves surrounding them rushed up, and Lista immediately put away the necklace, and the double sword was drawn out and resisted with a werewolf's hand axe, he kicked away the werewolf in front of him, and the clean swordsmanship was immediately displayed, three or four werewolves attacked Lista at the same time, Lista was not in a hurry, and escaped the attack through the gap in their view with a sliding step, and then the two swords slashed off the heads of the two werewolves facing away from him.
Fiona used the shield very well, every time the werewolf attack can be caught by Fiona's shield, and rely on the shield to repel the werewolves around her, with a one-handed sword, both offensive and defensive, at this moment the werewolves around Fiona have entered Fiona's battle rhythm, defense, counterattack, defense, counterattack, so that the besieging Fiona's werewolves have no way at all, and they will suffer.
Lista relies on speed and reaction, werewolves can't touch it at all, and Lista can always find an opportunity to take away a werewolf while dodging, and Fiona relies on excellent weapon skills, such as a spinning iron hedgehog, not only indestructible but also with strong lethality, the most worthy of werewolves taboo is Fiona's kick, every time Fiona swings the knife, the werewolves feel that this is an opportunity to attack, but who would want Fiona to turn around and kick a back kick to kick a werewolf who comes forward.
In less than ten minutes of fighting, the two killed all the werewolves who surrounded them.
Lista: "Whew! What to do"
The two gasped slightly, and they could see that this was just a warm-up for the two.
Fiona: "I can't help it, it seems that the wolf clan has really changed. ”
"Let's go, let's go back and report first"
