"Be careful, Joshua! Geraint followed Joshua into the battle.

Geraint caught a glimpse of the lava crocodiles and fiery demons, their hideous faces, their bodies covered in lava, and their terrifying cries in the rift. He didn't have time to count them, but there were at least dozens of them, lined up in several columns, blocking their way, each with fangs and claws that were extremely ferocious. "Behind!" he heard Hainar suddenly shout, and Geraint quickly turned around to find more monsters behind them, cutting off their retreat. Geraint's sword slammed forward. "I'm going to break with you monsters today!"

"The monster is barking. Tim said, looking around. Geraint could see the face of the crocodile beneath the lava. "It's best to have a wide range of magic attacks to be able to deal with them. If I were to chop them one by one, it would be troublesome. ”

Hernar and Joshua carefully watched the monster's movements. "My enchantment can't deal with that many monsters. "Hannal was nervous.

"The Dragon Eagle Knights are still dealing with those Thunderbirds. The following monsters can only be solved by ourselves. Tim said. Before he could finish speaking, suddenly there was a sound of horses' hooves near the rift. The sound of horses' hooves is extremely noticeable due to the cracked land. Everyone looked out of the rift, and there was a dusty picture. After the smoke and dust passed, a group of strangely dressed cavalry appeared in the scorching rift. The soldiers in front of him were divided into two columns, each wearing a red turban, holding a halberd in his hand, and a sword at his waist. "Haha! I hope we weren't late. The first man said.

"Oh, isn't this the legendary mountain hunter?" said Tim, "a knight of mercenaries near Mount Izaro. But they usually fight on their own, and today they are here in groups, what is going on?"

"I wish they were here to help us. Tim said calmly.

"Yu~" The person led by the first person stopped the horse and said with a smile: "It seems that there are quite a lot of monsters here, and this old guy Iliad has made a good deal!"

"Hey, what are you doing here? Joshua was intrigued by the group and cried out.

"Of course, I'm here to clean up these monsters. Otherwise, we have nothing to do with running into the scorching rift. You can't come here to see the scenery, do you?" said the Mountain Hunter Commander.

"It seems that it is indeed our friend. Tim nodded, "But these mountain hunters usually pay a lot of money as mercenaries. How could they come to our aid today?"

The Mountain Hunter Commander smiled, "In the past, the Imperial Knights offered a high price, so let's not interfere in the battle between you." But this time it's against the volcano monsters here, so we're not breaking our promise. ”

It turns out that the Mountain Hunters, as a mercenary army in the Burning Fire Province, have been active in the vicinity of Mount Isaro. Since volcanic monsters often attack the people here, some wealthy local people will pay them to come and clean up these monsters, but the cost of hiring them is quite expensive. Later, the bandit Kidd brothers colluded with the Red Dragon Knights to drive the Aika family out of Flame City. Later, the Aika family established a new stronghold in Red Earth and began to rebel, and the mountain hunters became the target of the two Shili. However, due to the perennial presence of mountain hunters in the province of Burning Fire, they have a close connection with the Aika family. Parsa knew that it was unrealistic to hire them to deal with the Aika family, but she tried her best to win them over. So he came up with the idea of spending a lot of money to keep the mountain hunters neutral. And hire them to fight against Shili other than the Aika family.

The leader of the Mountain Hunters wields his halberd and kicks his horse forward. "This group of monsters is so sluggish. He quickly rushed from the side of the group of monsters into the encirclement. "You're from the Aika family, aren't you?"

Tim smiled and nodded. "It's great that so many people are suddenly coming to help us!" Joshua clapped his hands in delight. The other mountain hunters jumped off their horses and stood out, before reverting to an encirclement formation. One by one, they wielded their halberds and slew at these volcanic monsters.

The volcanic monsters seem to be alarmed, but their numerical superiority is gone. The monsters in the rift could only roar incessantly. "Can we begin?" asked the group of mountain hunters on the periphery to the Commander inside. "Let's get started, but be careful yourself, don't have your life to make money and not spend money. The Mountain Hunter Commander shouted as he drew his sword and raised it above his head.

The rift was littered with dancing halberds, and the volcanic monsters began to roar and wail. "I didn't expect to get your help at this critical juncture. But...... I want to know ......," Tim asked, "how much did it cost Lord Frem to invite you?" The Commander unsheathed his sword, "Miss, you are asking how much it cost us to come?" When you mention things about money, I get very irritable. The Mountain Hunter Commander reached out and loosened his turban and turned his horse's head. "It's really hot in here, and my bandana is already soaked with sweat. ”

"Anyone else gets angry when they hear about money?"

"Hmph...... This time it's the old Iliad's job, so," the Mountain Hunter Commander glanced at Tim, "we're giving it for free. I didn't get a single one. ”

"You mean Anemo Lady?" Tim felt kind when he heard Iliad's name. Because when Eliad returned to her hometown, she was still a little bit. She is also used for wind magic talents, and has been carefully cultivated by the Aika family since she was a child. And Iliad also likes Tim and often goes to order her when he has time. In other words, Lord Fengshen can be regarded as half of her mentor. Tim couldn't have achieved what he is today without the help of Eliad.

"That's right, that Iliad guy came to me the other day. Then I drank too much that day, so I made a bet with him and lost to him. The Mountain Hunter Commander shook his head helplessly, "Then he offered us to come and deal with these volcanic monsters for free. He said that he had some important things to attend to recently, and that he had to leave here for a while. Before leaving, he wanted to arrange everything for the Aika family. ”

"Poof! Aeol-sama is really a rainy day. Tim laughed.

"Well, it's the first time we've had no money to work here for someone. The Mountain Hunter Commander shook his head helplessly.

With that, he lunged forward with a grip on the horse's belly, and the steel horseshoe kicked a fiery demon in the face with a disgusting click. He also brandished his halberd and rushed at the monsters. The volcanic monsters roared as if they were cursing something, but could only watch themselves and their companions struggle in their halberds. The mountain hunters jumped off their horses and quickly ran towards the volcanic monsters, their dancing halberds slashing the heads of these monsters, and lava flowed everywhere. Seeing that the scales of victory were tilting in his favor, Geraint shouted to the others, "Let's go and get rid of the monster fossils now." ”

Joshua and the others followed Geraint to the depths of the Rift. Due to the timely appearance of the Mountain Hunter, a large number of volcanic monsters were lured away, and Geraint and they only encountered a small number of monsters along the way. Soon they came to the place where the monster fossils had been piled up.

"Hey, it's usually surrounded by monsters, and most people die before they get here. "But this is a good opportunity for us to get rid of them once and for all." ”

"I didn't expect this pile of tattered fossils to have such a powerful effect. Joshua said as he struck the fossil of the lava crocodile with his sword.

"That's right, the magic elements in the magma are derived from the prototypes of these fossils. Let's find a way to destroy them quickly!" said Tim.

"But there are so many fossils here and they look very hard, how are we going to get rid of them? If you cut them with a sword, it will take a long time. Joshua said.

"It's not that hard. At this moment, Tim suddenly pulled out a badge from his body, "This is the ancestral mantra badge of the Aika family." Master Frem gave it to me when he left, and with the help of magic or fighting energy, the emblem can have a tremendous destructive power to shatter these fossils. ”
