Chapter 537: Night Attack
Although there are new forces joining the adventurer industry, their growth always takes time, and they cannot become effective in a short period of time.
Herag sat in a carriage at the tail of the convoy, and he was responsible for looking at the area near the tail of the convoy.
Ferry was at the front of the convoy, and Ferry's subordinates were in charge of scouting the middle of the convoy and the situation ahead.
Ferry's adventurous group has worked together very well, apparently for many years.
There is a clear division of labor as to who is responsible for reconnaissance and who is responsible for logistical supplies.
Only half a day after the caravan departed, Ferry's men rode in from the front and discovered something.
There was a dense forest ahead, and in the dense forest there were three overturned carriages.
The horses pulling the cart had fallen to the ground and had been eaten to the bone.
In addition to the carcasses of horses, there were many human remains at the site.
It's just that not even a complete corpse can be seen, and the only remaining remains has gnawing marks on it.
There are still many footprints of different shapes at the scene.
"It's a swarm of monsters." Ferrie dismounted and observed the ground for a while.
The monster pack is different from the wolf pack, there is only one race, the wolf, and the monster pack is generally composed of a variety of monsters, so the footprints on the scene look very messy, and there are all kinds of monsters.
"Cheer up, guys!" Ferry said with a solemn face.
The traces on the ground are still very new, indicating that the group of monsters has not gone far, and should be wandering around.
"Speed up and get out of this area as soon as possible." Ferry commanded.
Herag could hear clearly in the back of the car, and he could see the marks on the ground.
He looked up at the sky, it was noon, and there was still half a day to go, and he didn't know if it was enough.
After seeing this scene in the dense forest, the atmosphere in the caravan was obviously much heavier, and most of the people were a little worried on their faces.
……
At dusk, the caravan had come to the entrance to a mountain range and had found a place to stop.
This place is backed by a mountain, and you only need to hold a few other directions.
Even if there is really any unexpected situation, you can retreat to the mountains, so that you will not have no way to retreat on the plains.
Ferry's adventuring party is very professional, very well defended, and has good hands on patrol around at any time to check the situation.
Herag's mission was to guard the camp and he could not easily leave the camp unless there were special circumstances.
Night.
Herag sat beside the campfire, watching the firewood burn from time to time, crackling from time to time, and a trace of green smoke drifting out with a crackling sound.
The first half of the night had been quiet, and Herag sat by the fire with his eyes closed.
By the second half of the night, the camp was silent, except for a few snoring.
Herag suddenly opened his eyes and said in a loud voice, "Wake up, something is coming over." ”
He had deliberately raised his voice, and the camp was quiet.
So his voice woke everyone in the camp directly.
These people are all on the go all year round, and they are very alert, and no one sleeps so dead.
Sleeping in the wild is very dead, and generally does not live long.
"What's the situation?" Ferrie came over and asked, he hadn't noticed anything yet.
Torre leaned in as well, and he didn't notice anything unusual.
But they didn't think that Herag was joking, and a big knight wouldn't be boring enough to make such jokes.
Herag looked to the east and said, "If I'm not mistaken, there should be a horde of monsters approaching over there. ”
Ferry did not doubt Herag's words, but asked, "How many?" ”
"I'm not sure either, but listening to sounds is indispensable." Hellag said.
As soon as these words came out, the people in the camp suddenly became nervous.
Ferry moved quickly, and immediately commanded the people of the adventuring group to start building a defensive formation.
Herag drew his sword and stood in the middle of the camp.
According to the arrangement, he is responsible for guarding here, and he cannot rush out to meet the enemy.
lest any monsters touch the middle of the camp from other directions, causing the camp to be empty of strength.
Soon, Ferry and Torre also heard movement in the east.
The speed of the monster swarm was very fast, and after a while, everyone had heard the running and roaring sound of the monsters.
When Ferry fires the first arrow, the battle begins.
Several adventurers armed with giant shields formed a steel wall at the forefront, blocking the progress of the monsters.
A few other adventurers armed with melee weapons killed nearby monsters, with fire from other archers behind them.
The group of monsters was temporarily blocked, and monsters kept falling in front of them.
Although there are many monsters, they do not have a high level of intelligence.
Ferry's party coped with it with ease, and seemed to have seen it many times.
Although Herag was in the center of the camp, it was not easy.
Because there were flying monsters flying over the front line of defense and directly above the camp.
A bat-like monster had just arrived above the camp and was about to spit out something to the people below when an arm-thick piece of wood pierced its head.
The monster then fell, and several arrows were shot at the place where it had been flying.
When everyone looked down, they knew that the log had been thrown by Herag, and they couldn't help but marvel at Herag's strength.
Being able to pierce a monster directly through a piece of wood from such a distance is not something that ordinary people can do.
Herag took a longbow from someone else, bent it and drew it into a full moon, and the arrows flew out.
Several flying monsters were hit by bows and arrows before they could get close to the camp.
Such a bow and arrow would not cause them to die outright, but due to the tricky position of the arrows, their speed would be greatly reduced.
As soon as the speed slowed down, they were greeted by countless arrows, which were directly shot into hedgehogs.
After a while, the flying monsters in the air were dealt with.
Herag stood still, staring down at the ground.
He suddenly turned his head to look at a young woman hiding behind the carriage, and suddenly ran over and took the young woman in his arms.
"Ah...... I ......" the young woman did not know why, but instead of struggling, she approached Herag's chest and rubbed it against a certain part.
Herag knew she was mistaken, but he didn't have time to explain.
The next moment, a thick tentacle burst out of the ground, and there was a huge hook at the end of the tentacle.
The hook is so sharp that it can easily break through human flesh.
Everyone was startled when they saw this scene, and they all retreated, away from that place.
When the young woman saw this, her legs were weakened, and she fell on her stomach on Herag, and her whole body was so frightened that she had no strength.
She couldn't imagine what would have happened if Herag hadn't taken her. (End of chapter)
