Become a martial girl

Chapter 290 The Darkness Under the Thunder
Night came quickly.The day's turmoil was over, but the dwarves of Copperhammer City were still sorting out the messed up festival square.Up to now, no one is in the mood to continue to exhibit their works, and even everyone is not interested in watching the originally scheduled fireworks show.Some strong dwarves all took out weapons from their homes and wore them on their waists, patrolling the city in groups of three or four.The cheerful atmosphere has been replaced by seriousness and desolation.

"Nia, stay with Cordela and Hormon well, do you understand?"

Before leaving, Mengdie gave this little girl a good word again.Nia looked at Edward, Mengdie and White Wolf who were equipped, with an indescribable envy in her eyes.How could Mengdie not see this envy?But for her safety, keeping her here is the most correct answer.

"Okay, let's go."

Mengdie smiled and patted Nia on the head.Xiao Niya also nodded slightly, returning Mengdie with a smile.But just when Mengdie was about to leave together, the little girl suddenly said——

"Sister Mengdie, can I go to the square to have a look? I hardly ate anything good today, so I want to go and have a look now."

"At this time?" Mengdie pulled up her glove and put it on, "But...there is no one in the square anymore?"

"Sister~~~You just let me go~~~Anyway, I'm just wandering around the village, shouldn't it matter?"

Mengdie frowned, and Edward, who was next to her, saw Nia's pitiful appearance, and came up to say please: "Just let her go, it's boring to let her stay here alone."

Mengdie sighed, shook her head helplessly, and said, "Okay, you can go. But I warn you, don't sneak behind us. Your little thoughts can't escape my eyes. Understand? !"

"Yes, got it!"

"Okay, let's go!"

Mengdie pulled up a black cloak and put it on the white wolf, jumped on the white wolf, and Edward, who was riding a fusion slime, quickly galloped towards General Del's station outside the swamp.Soon, the two of them disappeared in the dense forest...

"Sister Mengdie! Goodbye! You must come back! Definitely...definitely...will come back."

In an instant, Niya, whose face was full of dissatisfaction, suddenly stopped shaking her hands.And her expression gradually became silent and calm...

"...Don't worry, I won't go."

The 13-year-old girl looked up at the sky full of stars.After a long time, she raised her foot and stepped into the darkness that was completely opposite to Mengdie and the others...

"Because, I still have to go and have fun for a while, right? Meng~die~sister~sister~~~"

"Click, click, click..."

Step on the soft swampy ground with all four limbs, and then lift up to kick away a piece of muddy water.Like a ghost in the dark night, the white wolf in the cloak rushed out of the swamp at an extremely fast but extremely quiet speed.On the side, the fusion slime that Edward was riding continued to squirm. This mucus-like creature filled the gaps in the terrain very well, and its moving speed was no slower than that of the white wolf.

The forest is retreating rapidly.The air was filled with the smell of rotting leaves and dampness.Looking up, the three rounds of moonlight have now been hidden in the dark clouds. The sky without the slightest light brings a bad premonition to people's hearts.

"It's going to rain."

Edward inserted his fingers into the fusion slime's body, grabbed the mount and kept pace with the dream butterfly, and said solemnly.

Mengdie nodded: "For us, it's a good thing."

The white wolf's limbs were still flying.

"...Mengdie."

"What?"

"Are you... sure it's a good thing? My heart... always feels a little uneasy... You see, the actions of those people... always feel a little unreasonable..."

"Well, it's really unreasonable. But there may be another explanation that can make all this quite reasonable. ... Well, out of the swamp. Look, there it is."

The white wolf's paw stepped into the solid grass again.The moment it rushed out of the swamp, it stopped immediately.At the same time, the Dream Butterfly on its back jumped down almost at the same time, lay down in the grass, and watched quietly.Edward also pulled out his fingers, wiped the mucus from the slime's body on his clothes, held the sword, and lay beside Mengdie as well.

The slime melted, dived into the ground, and returned to Copper Hammer City.Under the starless and moonless sky, there were only two people and a wolf, quietly lurking in the grass.

In the distance, the tent of General Del and his party was stationed high on a small hill.A large tent is in the middle, surrounded by fourteen small tents.The scattered lights in the camp provided good convenience for Mengdie and others to see the situation clearly.That is to say, with the help of these lights, the fifteen synthetic beasts standing next to their respective owners' tents are also vividly visible like sculptures of demons.

"Mengdie, that flying dragon...is standing next to that big tent. I see..."

Edward touched the obsidian sword on his waist, feeling a little nervous.

Mengdie didn't speak, her eyes scanned the fifteen tents back and forth.After the observation was over, he retracted his gaze and began to inspect the turf around the camp.Soon, she found some things that a strategist would definitely arrange from those turf——

trap.

"Oh, I didn't believe it at first, but they are really superb tacticians. It's not unreasonable for King Luwell to value this general."

Mengdie snapped her fingers, quickly began to move her limbs, and crawled slowly towards the camp against the grass.Edward wanted to follow immediately, but the white wolf on the side suddenly bit his clothes, and then shook his head slightly at the path of Mengdie's movement.Edward thought for a while, and finally understood that this meant that he should closely follow the movement route of Mengdie.He smiled awkwardly and started walking along the line.

"Boom."

In the distant sky, there was a muffled thunder.The slow, suffocating sound made the two of them hold their breath.Looks like it's going to rain, right?

Mengdie didn't crawl towards the camp in a straight line, but kept circling outside the camp.Sometimes she moved forward, sometimes she retreated, sometimes she even rolled to the side twice, and sometimes she even stopped to poke the grass to observe the movement ahead.In this way, she has been climbing for more than an hour during this short distance of less than 50 meters, before approaching within [-] meters of the camp.Edward, who always wanted to save people as soon as possible, did not speak out impulsively, because he trusted the girl's judgment.In the march and battle, he had completely bowed to Mengdie's feet.
