"Goblins, trolls, kobolds, even dragons...... Oh, Lady Lucky, what did I do wrong to be punished like this? ”

Upon returning to the camp, Captain Dellett reported the discovery of several men to Sodic.

The halfling listened, and his face was devastated and incredulous.

His damn sixth sense worked so well!

For no other reason, just before Wren and the others returned, the guards who had gone to investigate in other directions brought back news.

They found traces of kobolds, which were also mixed with huge footprints, suspected to be dragon beasts raised by kobolds!

Kobolds are the dragon's fanatical brain-dead fans and super little licking dogs, and the kobold tribe that can raise dragon beasts is also hugged by the dragon's big thick legs nine times out of ten.

This news was originally nothing, but the comparison with the discovery on Dellet's side was enough to make the halfling understand how bad the situation around the caravan was!

"Tell everyone to be awake when you go to bed tonight! Also, the number of people on night duty has been doubled! ”

Sodick gave the order with a dark face.

"Delett, let the brothers work hard, and set some traps outside the camp tonight. When the caravan arrives in Lahore City, I will double the salary of the guards this time! ”

The halfling said through gritted teeth.

"Yes, sir, I'll talk to my brothers."

The captain of the guard sighed and nodded in response.

They were all men recruited by Sodick in Bethport Harbor, and they were old men who had traveled with the caravan several times.

Almost all of them are innocent professionals who are tired of stimulating adventurous careers, and the average career level is above level 7, and they just want to earn pension money in peace.

If these guards abandon the caravan and flee at this time, not to mention the problem of survival in the wilderness, the fact that they abandon their employers and run away will make the mercenary guild a black spot in their future escort career, and become the object of ridicule by everyone.

Unless they are desperate to wander into the wilderness and start their business as bandits.

But anyway, things haven't gotten that bad, have they?

"Wren, what are we going to do?"

Just when Sodick had a headache and how to soothe people's hearts, Angelica quietly found Wren and asked this sentence.

"What to do? The two of us are grasshoppers on the same rope with the caravan now, so let's sleep well and see what Sodike will arrange tomorrow. ”

"Wren, how about we quietly go back to Vanlin Town?"

Miss Ranger timidly asked.

"That's a dragon, a legendary dragon!"

"So what?" Wren yawned and said to himself, "It's not like I haven't killed this dragon."

Not to mention the dragon, I have killed more than one of the dragons of the gods!

"Aren't you afraid?"

The girl asked, puzzled.

"Angelica," Wren sat up straight, looking at the girl with a solemn and serious gaze, "Remember, from the moment you stepped into the wilderness, you were no longer Angelica of an orphanage, but an adventurer, the darling of the forest, a ranger. In the future, the danger you face may be even more terrifying than that of dragons, but do you want to go back to your mother in fear at the sight of footprints as you do today? ”

This girl, she has to turn her mind around.

Only by making her realize that her identity has changed dramatically and she is getting farther and farther away from her civilian identity, can she abandon the unrealistic fantasy of the so-called girl's romance and face up to reality, and can she gradually transform into a real adventurer, a teammate who can be trusted with her back at a critical moment.

Only by making her aware of the danger of the wilderness may be able to stimulate the ruthlessness in this girl's bones.

Perhaps, a few days ago, Miss Ranger was in a rage, and the few hooligan bullies of the Red Label Gang were killed by her, which was the first time she really saw blood.

However, seeing blood is such a thing, and you can get used to seeing it more often.

Adventurers live a life of licking blood with a knife.

"I ......"

Looking at the holy warrior who had never had such a serious expression, in the face of these words, the girl's face looked uncertain under the light of the fire.

She had never thought about it so much, she just wanted to keep up with the teenager's figure......

"Wren, can you tell me why you left town and went out on an adventure?"

After a long while, Miss Ranger bit her lip and asked aloud.

"Me?"

Wren's eyes flickered for a few seconds before he chuckled.

"It's a bit of an exaggeration to say that it's to find traces of evil, although this is indeed part of the truth, but to be serious, it's because I'm a teenager, and I'm more eager to have blood boiling, rather than an ordinary life where you can see your head......"

Men, until death, they are teenagers!

Besides, there are all plug-ins, and you have to stay at home until you die, so what's the point?

…………

This night, except for Wren, everyone slept soundly.

Early the next morning, everyone looked at each other's dark circles and smiled at each other.

But Wren did not share their joys and sorrows.

He had wrapped himself in a sleeping bag last night, and he had slept soundly.

The reason for this was because he could see from the footprints of the wild creatures that these guys were not moving in the direction of the caravan.

That being the case, then what's so scary?

It's time to sleep!

As for the green dragon, I'll talk about it when I really meet it.

"My lord, what are we going to do next?"

A merchant approached Sodick and asked aloud.

This caravan was organized by halflings, and although he did not control the caravan, whether it was his connections, knowledge, or the strength of high-level professionals, or the legendary halfling's lucky bonus, Sodick's opinion was very important in the caravan.

"There is no turning back from the bow, and we continue to go to Lahore City as originally planned."

The halfling said lightly.

"But didn't Captain Dellett say that there were suspected dragons on the way?"

"It's just suspicious......"

Sodick waved his hand.

"Even if there is a dragon, we have to move forward, and don't forget, there is a time limit for us to deliver this shipment. If we don't get to Lahore on time, we're in big trouble. Are you willing to pay a large amount of liquidated damages and then have a bad reputation? ”

"I don't want to! My sixth sense tells me that there may be danger, but it is possible to get through it safely. ”

Sodick's words made the face of the questioning merchant change a few times, and finally the other party gritted his teeth and laughed to himself:

"Okay, let's listen to your lords! After all, our business as a merchant is no different from a mercenary guard, we all live with our heads tied to the waistband of our trousers. It doesn't matter if I'm dead, but I can't affect my wife and children! ”

The people in the caravan quickly reached a consensus, and after a brief breakfast, the caravan set off again.

Within a few hours, the caravan had arrived at the beach that they had explored in Wren the previous night, and had reached the other side of the river bank through an old wooden bridge.

At this time, a guard who was acting as a scout in front ran back in a panic, and reported to the halfling out of breath:

"My lord, something is wrong ahead!"

"What's going on?"

Sodick exclaimed.

"Dragon, dragon...... It's really a dragon! ”

The guard finally gasped for breath before he said tremblingly.

"Let's go, let's see!"

The halfling made a quick decision, and rushed forward with a few leading merchants and guards.

"Angelica, let's go along and have a look!"

Wren rolled over and turned to the girl and shouted.

In any case, it is necessary to look at the situation before how to deal with it.

The group galloped and soon came to a hill.

As far as the eye can see, at the end of the field of vision, puffs of smoke rush straight into the sky from miles away, and beneath the smoke is a burning town.

Everyone's eyes were drawn to the long, winged strip that hovered around the smoke.

As the unidentified creature opened its mouth and spat out a cone of green smoke, everyone couldn't help but let out a soft "pop" sound in their hearts.

It was the crisp sound of a heart being shattered by a ruthless reality.

That's, really...... It's a dragon!
