Chapter 53 Escort Mission

In the open space in the middle of the lumberyard outside the city, a group of strong strongmen were pulling logs onto the carriage one by one.

The technology in this world is not backward. Huck has received some popular science from Claudia and Dragon Kingdom. In the military power of the human kingdom, there are such giant steel ships and spaceships.

There is no such thing here in the lumberyard. The place where the workers load the trucks is a building like a hanging tower. The workers use wooden rails to put the logs under the hanging tower, and then tie them with ropes.

After that, several nearby people lifted the log together by pulling the rope, and then someone pulled the suspended log onto the truck.

This kind of thing is too troublesome, so the forest owner spent money to find a few strong mercenaries.

These mercenaries with a physique of more than two meters and muscles all over their bodies are like the strong men who carry giant tires in another world.

The difference is that these people's physiques are not too exaggerated, they just use fighting energy to strengthen their bodies.

A mercenary with fighting spirit has received an astonishing improvement in both defense and strength.

Normal people can only lift one or two hundred catties, but as long as the mercenaries with fighting spirit are not too weak, they can lift six or seven hundred catties.

Huck and Ira stood behind the convoy, and many mercenaries and lumberjacks nearby came to watch.

It's not about Ira, there are often some beautiful women among the mercenaries, both the workers and the mercenaries have their own things to do.

It was the earth dragon that gathered hundreds of elders and female warriors.

Earth dragons are not uncommon, but mainly caravan people can raise such large dragon beasts.

In ordinary mercenary regiments, there are at most three to five tons of small earth dragons, which are about the size of larger adult rhinos.

Huck's earth dragon is not only huge in size, but more importantly, it shows a violent temperament.

Unlike many domesticated earth dragons, this violent earth dragon is the leader of all earth dragons in terms of physique, irritable breathing and performance!
The mercenaries were very curious about this earth dragon that exceeded the normal specifications, and the loggers and businessmen in the forest farm also wanted to see how many logs this earth dragon could drag.

Huck stood beside the earth dragon and comforted the dragon. He didn't know when he had this ability.

Since the earth dragon went berserk, it seems that he has become very obedient to his words. As long as he speaks a word, the earth dragon will become honest.

At first, he thought it was fear and dread, but Huck found that the ground dragon didn't have that kind of fear when facing Ira and Lily.

Huck put the reins on the earth dragon, and the head of the earth dragon was half bigger than Huck, which created a strong contrast in the eyes of outsiders.

The reins did not block the earth dragon's mouth, but were placed on the earth dragon's head from the side, so that the earth dragon knew where to go.

"It's ready! Boss!"

The Hercules in the car got off the car loaded with four ten-meter logs.

The team leader this time is not a mercenary, but the knight captain Vasai under the command of the lord of the wooden city.

Vasai has a strong physique and tall and thick limbs, but he doesn't feel scary. He is a kind and friendly knight uncle who is easy to talk to.

"Can these be pulled? It was originally pulled by two earth dragons, and your earth dragon doesn't seem willing to walk with other earth dragons."

Vasai showed a smile. After he knew that this boy named Huck was a noble young master living in a foreign land, he was very polite to him.

The relationship between Huck and Ira cannot be hidden, they are not as simple as a woman and a child.

In order to better adapt to the future journey, Huck takes the identity of a noble young master who wants to see the outside world, and Ira is his maid.

"It should be possible." Huck took two steps back, "Take a few steps forward."

After hearing Huck's words, Dilong stood up quickly.

Originally, it had always been kneeling beside Huck, but when it stood up now, the height difference between the two became more obvious.

Behind Dilong is a long cart with four pieces of wood, and there are sixteen wheels alone.

Dilong quickly pulled the car, walked six steps forward slowly and leisurely, and then stopped.

Vasai gave an approving look, "Then I'll give you the price for two cars, and we'll set off as soon as we're ready."

The rest of the people looked at the huge earth dragon curiously, chatting with each other.

Huck and Ira sat on the car behind Dilong. They were only responsible for transportation, and the rest of the security work was taken care of by the rest of the staff.

If they need to be used, or if they show strength other than transportation, then money will be added according to the situation.

After Vasai went to take care of other things, three young mercenaries came over.

"I'm James, an earth mage, a C-level mercenary."

James looked at Huck, and then at Ira beside Huck, "I heard from Uncle Vasai that your hometown is in the Eastern Kingdom?"

Huck nodded, "I used the teleportation scroll to fly here. I plan to go east to find my family."

James looked at Huck curiously, "Magic has always been so amazing."

Huck said casually, "Are you a noble from the lord's family here?"

James quickly put on the driver of the nobleman, and said softly: "Yes, the lord here is my uncle. He has managed this place very well. When the year of the crown comes, our Giant Wood City will definitely be rewarded by the kingdom. !"

Huck was tired of these lord games, he didn't want to get involved in the lord struggles in several cities, and he was not interested in the kingdom's rewards.

"These two beautiful sisters are your partners?"

Huck looked at the two people behind James, both young and beautiful female mercenaries.

James said proudly: "Yes, my mercenary group now has three people. Besides me, the magician, there are archers and swordsmen. I am planning to find a warrior who can fight bugs."

Huck asked curiously, "Are there any bugs here?"

James nodded, "There are still quite a few. It has subsided a lot a while ago, but since the beginning of these months, a large number of bugs have emerged again."

"These damn bugs are getting bigger and bigger!"

James cursed.

At this moment, a man's roar came from the forest.

Huck and the others all looked over there, and soon Vasai led the people towards the forest in a leisurely manner.

James also ran over quickly, apparently wanting to show off.

Huck didn't pay attention, and soon saw Lily approaching.

Lily jumped onto the cart and hid between four logs.

After more than ten minutes, the people who went to the forest came back, and after more than ten minutes of delay, the convoy started to set off.

James patrolled the team on horseback, and soon came to Huck's side.

"What happened just now?" Huck asked about the previous events.

James explained: "It's nothing, there have been a lot of bugs in the forest recently, and these bugs often attack our workers."

Huck nodded and didn't ask anything else.

If he leaves here, he will never come back again, and what happens here has nothing to do with him.

The convoy continued to move forward, and after more than an hour, James still followed Huck.

"You don't need to look elsewhere?" Huck looked at James suspiciously. Why does this person always walk around beside him?

Did you find something?
Huck quickly became vigilant.

James didn't know Huck's thoughts, and explained: "Your car is the heaviest. Every time we transport it, it is easy to get stuck on the road, or the car is crushed. These four pieces of wood should be used as pillars. So there can be no problems."

"You haven't noticed it yet. When we passed through several pits just now, I was the one who used earth magic to level the ground. Otherwise, the wood on the car would have been dangling and scattered in the potholes!"

James is very proud, this is the power of magic!
Seeing that James had been a mercenary for a long time, Huck asked, "Is it easy to get into trouble for this kind of escort mission?"

James thought for a while, "Basically, we will encounter some troubles, but what we are transporting is wood, which will not attract thieves, just be careful of those monsters and giant insects."

Huck was relieved a lot.
