Chapter 429: Early Morning in Hilda's Forest

"Captain Lista, your team is really getting stronger and stronger!"

After seeing Edan forcibly stuff a child into the Soul Suppression Knights, De Yun couldn't help but laugh and ridicule Lista, I don't know when it started, the always serious knight instructor De Yun also began to become less serious, maybe it was because of the endless kindness he felt in the Kablan Mercenary Regiment.

"Lord Deyun, don't make fun of me, hey, it's difficult!"

Yes, it's really difficult, and it takes a lot of effort to establish a knight order, but Lista heard from Gray before that the housekeeping in the Knights of Soul Town is now taken care of by Yfe, and it is very well managed from top to bottom, including operations.

Lista thought about it carefully, why did he say that he was tired, he was obviously a hands-off shopkeeper, and he didn't do anything: "Damn, my partner's damn reliability makes me seem so useless!" ”

......

After checking their equipment, the non-commissioned officer trio went back to their rooms to rest, after all, tomorrow's work is not an easy job, conservatively estimated that it will take three days, they must not only bring enough food and water, but also bring tents and campfires to attack, this is not destined to be an easy task.

There was no word all night, and the city of Olit was very quiet tonight, except for the archers led by Kaye who took turns standing guard on the city wall, everyone fell asleep quietly, and Kaye sat at the top of the city wall, silently looking at the forest in the distance and the sky blackened, always feeling that this matter would not be so simple.

"Humph!"

Kaye lay down, his hands on his head and slowly closed his eyes as he looked at the starless night sky, he had seen a lot of this kind of moonlight and high wind, and in his memory, such a night sky seemed to have always accompanied him.

However, the feeling of today made Kaye feel very uncomfortable, and this feeling ...... Upset, Kaye thought to herself, "Why am I like this, am I worried about them?" ”

Maybe Kaye himself didn't know, obviously he entered the Soul Knights just to get close to the Divine Court to investigate some things, but he somehow integrated into it, although he still had the same straight face as before and was reluctant to speak, but he had begun to care about others silently.

Gradually, Kaye's consciousness blurred, and he just put the bow on his stomach and fell asleep with the night breeze, but Kaye's sleep was very light, and he would immediately pull the bow and wake up at the slightest noise, which was a "good" habit he had developed in the first half of his life as a solver.

A few hours later, the morning light cut through the dark sky like a golden blade piercing the dark curtain in the air, and when the sun shone on the first brick of the wall, it was time for the sentry to rotate.

The cold air of the night turned into a thick layer of fog under the light of the early sun, which was deposited in the Hilda Forest and made this terrifying place a little fairy for a while.

Near the forest, the morning air can always make people wake up, take a deep breath, the cold air enters the lungs, the cells in all parts of the body are awakened at this time, and the mercenaries who were still yawning in the last second are awakened in an instant.

At this time, the non-commissioned officer trio was already under the walls of Olut City, and this operation was originally a secret investigation operation, so that the demons could not catch their traces, they had to avoid the eyes of their own people first.

The three of them ate dry food as they walked, and they carefully caught their fallen residues with their hands, after all, the demons have very smart noses, and if they don't pay attention to this detail, the demons are likely to find them based on this dregs.

It's not that the three of them are afraid of the demons, they still don't think it's necessary, collect and investigate, then they have to look like they are collecting and investigating, and they can't rush over with great fanfare like Hawke and say, "Hey, grandchildren, grandpa is here to investigate you!" ”

Following the location indicated by Inks on the map, the three Listas kept their pace down as they quickened, as Crowyan had found Fiona before going to bed yesterday and explained the distance they were going to take today.

Today's journey is five times longer than yesterday's, so it can be said that it is a complete detour, so it is certainly not a day to reach the destination, today they will rest for the night somewhere on this road.

Crowyan explained that the destination was just an entrance pointed out by Yoonks, and only when he reached that place could he start the investigation, and before that, it was all for the sake of hurrying, which meant that the mission had not yet begun until he reached the destination.

At the same time, Crowyan also said that the road they took today, as long as they were not followed by the demons, it was absolutely impossible to encounter the demons, but there were things as dangerous as the demons on this road, that is, the demon frogs and the swamp glue monsters.

These two creatures are extremely troublesome, not only are they numerous, but they are also very secretive in the overgrown and swampy Hilda Forest. Both the Frog and the Swamp Slime can spit out a highly corrosive liquid, and the Frog's saliva is highly poisonous, greatly restricting the target's movements.

So they had to cross the area of frogs and slime monsters before dark, because at night, no one could see if there were these two disgusting creatures in the grass.

But since it was a mission, they couldn't run away from it, no matter how difficult the road ahead was, they would overcome it, and besides, they didn't feel that these creatures could threaten them.

After walking for about three hours, they couldn't see the spire of Orut City anymore, if it weren't for the strong sense of direction of Karui, who grew up in the rainforest, they might not know where they went, in the forest, getting lost is also a big threat, if they accidentally deviate from the route, they may never be able to get out of this forest.

Wail!

A frog croaking suddenly sounded in the quiet forest, it was an echo, coming from a long distance, but this frog croaking was enough to scare some ordinary people, after all, in this lonely forest, a strange sound came out coldly, everyone would be startled, even Fiona put her hand on the thorn when she heard the frog chirping.

"Karu, Lista, be more careful from now on, always watch your step, don't step on anything strange, the thought of the slimy appearance of the demon frog makes me sick."

"Good!"

No matter how brave Fiona is, but after all, she is a girl, and she is also a beautiful girl, so she naturally hates these creatures, but Karui is different, at this time, he has already used his ivory pillar in his brain to smash on the body of the demon frog, how did the demon frog burst.

They said they were following this route, but in fact there was no road at all, and it was all knee-high weeds. Karui was at the front, using his big feet and weight to clear the way, Fiona in the middle, and Lista at the back to observe the environment.
