"As long as the lord does not abandon us, we will never be afraid. Kubobo was the first to say that after the previous incident, it was clear that he had completely trusted Cross, although this trust was somewhat brainless.

With Kubobo's statement, other Hofers also said that they would not be afraid.

Cross couldn't laugh or cry, he had the impression that the Hofers were very timid, and that was why they kept their home underground.

"Our food is still in Blackwater, but Blackwater has been overrun by the troops of the Kingdom of Seatta.

I've decided to take Blackwater and get our food back. ”

Silence, looking at each other.

The reaction of the Hoffers was expected by Cross, and he knew that his words would make the little ones in front of him think that they needed to go to battle and kill the enemy, but in reality, they only needed to dig the foundation.

Cross was about to continue, but was interrupted by Kubobo.

"Lord Lord, I am willing to go into battle and kill the enemy!"

Ku Bobo's words were short and powerful, and they completely showed his attitude of treating death as home.

His statement was beyond Cross's expectations, and one after another, the Hoffers began to take a stand.

"As long as I have the right armor, I am willing to follow the lord to capture Blackwater Town. ”

"We can dig tunnels and attack their rear. ”

"We can still drag them underground and kill them. ”

......

Looking at the resolute appearance of these lovely Hoffils, Cross couldn't help but laugh, obviously, these Hoffils didn't know the geography of Blackwater at all. However, such a statement still made Cross have a good impression of these little guys.

In the end, as originally planned, Cross selected five Hofers and told them that they didn't need to fight the enemy, they only needed to help build the foundation of the Stronghold.

Seeing the determination of the people of Hofel not to be afraid of death, Gawain suddenly felt ashamed, he was still thinking about preparing to talk to Cross alone a few minutes ago, hoping that Cross would not let him go to Blackwater.

Deeply ashamed, he also became active, "I'll go check all the ships." ”

"Oh, it's rare for Gawain to be so proactive. Cross teased.

"Now that we've prepared so well, it's good to be a little more insured. ”

"That's right. ”

"Master Cross, I'm going to check my mech too. ”

"Go, Tina. ”

"I asked the blacksmith to re-polish my greatsword. ”

"Well, you don't need to kill enemies, but your greatsword is still useful. ”

"What do we do?" asked Lancelot.

"You go and practice archery. ”

"Archery?"

"Well, your physique is not suitable for enemy melee combat, and besides, I find your archery skills to be quite good. ”

"Your Excellency, it seems that I was seen by you when I practiced archery, I have loved archery since I was a child, and besides, the instructor who taught me archery is very powerful, he has a nickname, called magic archer. ”

"Is it possible to shoot an arrow that turns?"

"Yes!"

"You'll do the same. ”

"Well, I'm just scratching the surface. ”

"Alright, let's go practice, you're the main force in this battle. ”

"Yes!"

At this point, Cross was left with only Nia by his side.

"Lord Cross, I'm not going anywhere. Nia didn't want Cross to break her apart and spoke early.

"Go change your clothes first, I'm going to take you to meet a friend. ”

"Friend?" Nia looked at Cross quizzically, her ears moving.

"Hmm. I asked Wendy to make a few more maid outfits that fit you, and I'll take you to meet him after changing. ”

Nia nodded.

......

The person that Cross wants to show Nia is Link.

Link has been staying in the mountains and forests next to Tongshan Town for a long time these days, he said that this is to better absorb the power of nature, but in fact, he is to eat fruits in the mountains and forests.

He usually went back to Cross's room after noon to rest for a while before setting off.

Cross calculated, Link was almost coming back.

At this time, Nia also changed into a new set of clothes, which was no different from the original one.

"Who are you taking me to, Lord Cross?"

"You'll know when you get there. By the way, did you come back by water this time?"

"Well, Lancelot and I took turns pulling the boat back on the shore. ”

Hearing this, Cross shook his head, "Gawain really should exercise well. ”

"Lord Gawain is also working hard, Lancelot and I take turns resting, Gawain needs to guard us all the time, he hardly rests. ”

"That's ...... so"

......

After a while, Cross took Nia to the room. As soon as he pushed the door open, Link's voice came from inside the room.

"Yo, why did Lord Cross come back so early?"

Nya and Link were shocked when they saw each other.

At this time, Link didn't use any magic to hide himself, and the appearance of a goblin was completely exposed to Nia.

However, Link's fright was only due to Nia's appearance being too sudden, and he quickly adjusted his state and flew in front of Nya lightly, "You must be Nia, Lord Cross mentioned you to me." I'm Link, a wood elf. ”

"Fairy ...... Legend has it that the goblins are closest to nature?"

"Hmm. ”

With a wave of Linca's hand, a burst of pale green crystal powder fell from Nia's eyes. The latter, with curiosity, cautiously touched the dreamy thing.

"It's fun. ”

"Nia, he'll go with us too. ”

"Well, I'll also go to Blackwater Town, Your Excellency has already told me the battle plan a few days ago, and Your Excellency Cross is simply a genius. ”

Nia tilted her head and looked at Link, "You're going too, so what can you do?"

"That's why I let you meet. Cross said.

"So I have a mission too?" Link had always thought that he would be fine as long as he followed Cross to oversee the battle, but he didn't expect that he still had a mission.

"Hmm. Cross took out a bottle full of green liquid from his clothes.

"What is this?" said Nia and Link in unison.

"This is the result of the research of the alchemist Randall, it is a powerful hypnotic potion, and it is extremely volatile, if this bottle is broken in Blackwater, then more than half of the soldiers in Blackwater will fall asleep.

However, this flask can't be broken from the outside, and I had Randall make it out of a special material, and when he poured the flask into the bottle, he sealed the mouth completely, and I don't want this thing to break open in our place. ”

"And how does this bottle break?" asked a curious Nia.
