lizard lord

Chapter 21
Citing Tang Zhao's keen sense of smell and knowing the way, Cynthia finally found a chance to talk to him.

[First confirm one thing, I am talking to you here, can they understand? 】

"The link only exists between you and me. It is not impossible to intervene with magical means, but it requires a very high level of spellcasting, at least level four. Judging by the age of these humans, it is unlikely."

Cynthia spoke the Wood language. Only a few human scholars and mages could speak this language, and not many elves could speak this language. It was an encrypted call.

【Okay, let’s get down to business first. You’ve done nothing wrong. The transportation problem has been solved, and you really shouldn’t get too involved with those humans. 】

"That's good," Cynthia breathed a sigh of relief, "I've never talked to humans before, as long as I didn't do anything wrong."

【Be confident. If I don't trust your ability, I won't take you out. You are more adaptable than many goblins. 】

When meeting the goblins for the first time before, it was Cynthia who fought hard and proposed to communicate with Tang Zhao.

He didn't forget this matter, and kept it in his heart all the time—there were many translators who could use animal conversation skills, but it was hard to find one with a sharp enough mind.

She smiled knowingly: "Thank you for your praise, I will be more confident in the future."

【I'm looking forward to it, but let's continue with the business, send the two goblins back separately, inform them of the situation, and let them hide carefully, don't be reluctant to use invisibility, something is wrong. 】

Cynthia's face was solemn: "What did you smell? Do you need to tell those humans?"

[No smell, everything is normal, but I don't think the number of wolves is right. There were only five or six wolves in total. There must be more. The location of the rest is unknown, so be careful. 】

Tang Zhao must be cautious in doing things, every decision he makes now is related to the lives of hundreds of goblins.

From the point of view of the beast, once it starts to be careless, it is not far from death. Tang Zhao doesn't want to die now.

Cynthia also understood Tang Zhao, and immediately asked the two goblins behind her to report the news.

For a few days, the surrounding environment did not change much. According to his own memory, Tang Zhao followed the creek, sniffing the smell in the air, and found the camps of those hunters first.

The blood all over the ground has been washed away by the heavy rain, and most of the remaining corpses of the hunters have disappeared. It is unknown whether they were washed away by the rain or eaten by wild wolves.

Unexpectedly, although the three sons looked very angry, they didn't have any nausea, even the two ladies.

The smell of rotting corpses is not good, and with some psychological effects, people who have never experienced it will really spit it out.

The prejudice against them in Tang Zhao's heart was gone, at least these people were not flowers growing in the greenhouse, and one day he suddenly had a brain twitch and wanted to feel the suffering of the world.

[The strength is good, and the psychological quality is also good. The military nobles behind them should not be vegetarians, but they don't know how other parties in the country are. 】

In the eyes of Tang Zhao, these noble children are the references for the noble youths of the royal capital. If they live in a muddle-headed way, then the life of the Oran Kingdom will not be so easy in the future, which is a major drawback of hereditary succession.

Considering the situation of Oran Kingdom in his heart, Tang Zhao turned his head calmly and continued to lead them.
-
A group of people walked vigorously, upstream along the stream, and soon came to a clearing.

Tang Zhao had seen this place when he slipped out of the cave. The tent used to be there, but now it disappeared without a trace. It was probably put away by the lycanthropy. The man-made target was too conspicuous in the forest.

After a pause for a few seconds, Tang Zhao slapped his tail on the ground, and Cynthia promptly reminded everyone to be alert, and a battle might break out soon.

Cynthia looked at Guinivea and asked in a low voice, "Well, this lizard is a good friend of our fairies, so can you?"

Guinivea nodded eagerly, and then prepared to chant the incantation and cast a spell.

But as soon as the incantation was uttered, a silver streamer flew past her and penetrated into Tang Zhao's body.

Gui Nivea was taken aback for a moment, then turned to look at Tina beside her: "Is there any problem? The damage protection of the third ring should be enough."

Tina shook her head: "Not necessarily so."

Gui Nivea immediately pulled out the delicate longbow made of yew wood from behind, and looked around nervously.

She has known Tina for longer, and knows that Tina never talks nonsense.

Tang Zhao, who was further away, couldn't hear their conversation, but they could always see them casting spells on him, and the obviously nervous movements of the half-elf reminded him.

I was a little apprehensive, but in the end Tang Zhao led a few people to find the cave.

Covered by trees and hidden by vines, it is indeed difficult to find.

The three soldiers were quite good, Tang Zhao was not asked to follow into the cave, but asked him to wait outside, which made him heave a sigh of relief.

With the sharp blade out of its sheath and the small and convenient round shield in hand, the three of them entered the cave back and forth.

Tang Zhao didn't follow, but he also stared nervously at the dark cave.

Just as he was concentrating, there was a strange noise from the woods behind everyone.

"Be careful! Enemy attack!"

Before the words fell, more than a dozen sharp arrows shot at the crowd.

The main targets were obviously Tina and Guinivea, and only three arrows were aimed at Tang Zhao.

Tang Zhao, whose focus was all in front of him, didn't react for a moment, he was hit straight by the arrow, and he only had time to protect the vitals of his head and neck, and three arrows were nailed into his back one after another.

With a low growl in pain, Tang Zhao quickly suppressed the panic in his heart and began to pay attention to the surrounding situation.

More than a dozen arrows all stayed half a meter in front of the two of them and could not advance an inch. Their situation was much better than Tang Zhao's.

However, this was only temporary, as the roars of three armored soldiers came from the cave, it was obvious that they had encountered an enemy.

Outside the cave, eight tall creatures in chain armor held short spears and attacked them.

They are tall, at least two meters tall, with brownish-gray skin, thick hair, and a larger-than-human head ratio. The lower jaw is protruding, the teeth are exposed, and the face is very ferocious.

Tang Zhao has read fantasy works, so this is obviously not a werewolf, but an orc.

Behind them are five long-range output personnel, or archers, or some kind of spell casters, who are preparing for the next round of attacks.

Attacking back and forth, the weak caster was besieged by concentrated fire. Tang Zhao felt that the situation was extremely bad.

　Zhang Ping posted a simple map, and I was lazy to use the map editor to make it, which saves trouble.If you can't see it clearly enough, I'll go make it with normal software and give a feedback.It's rough and not very useful, sorry.

　　As the plot progresses, a map will be issued, which looks more intuitive.
