Chapter 135 Chapter 135 Four in Two
"We can't go any further." Gerros summoned Team crowd. Sitting on the fence of the truck, he said condescendingly to the crowd: "The wild forest creatures begin to stir. According to the experience of the locals, they will attack at any time - and they will certainly - attack."

"How large will it be? ' Dagon asked.

Several events and battles, coupled with a dutiful and consistent vigil every night, Dagon has long been recognized as a member of the caravan, and a very important member. He is widely trusted by everyone, especially as several members of the Jiangu clan have implicitly treated Dagon as a leading little leader. So at the meeting to discuss the way forward, Dagon can ask questions at any time, and no one will feel that there is anything wrong.

"It's hard to say the scale, and everyone has different opinions. We only know that it has been seven years since the last large-scale riot in the wild forest, so we cannot rule out the possibility that this time will be a big riot." Gerlos Said: "Even on a normal scale, a harassment operation in the wild forest often has dozens to one hundred monsters. The team can barely defend, but the risk is still too great."

"Then step back. , go back to Mawang Bay and wait." Maipu said: "The blockade area has been lifted, right?"

"I haven't found the opportunity to entrust the Chamber of Commerce in Heshan City to take the Chimera sheep. When the skull is sent back, we will take the Chimera skin back to Mawang Bay, what will the count think? Will he think we are going to slap him in the face? The nobles are all temperamental, especially for the caravan. No, Mawang Bay is more dangerous in a sense." Geros knocked his pipe on the deck of the car under his butt, and said, "The convoy can go back to the previous village, where there happens to be a logging yard, and there is time to repair the car. Son, it's better to reinforce it. I'll take a few people to Heshan City to see, if we can do the work and allow our team to enter the city, that's the best."

Maipu wrinkle He frowned and said, "When we enter the city when we are about to be besieged, we are also carrying a lot of goods, which is also very dangerous."

"Heshan City has strong city defenses and fortresses, and the inside is better than the outside. Safety. If this time is a large-scale attack, then the surrounding villages, including the logging farm village. If we can clear the relationship, we may be able to enter the city from the south, go out from the north, leave early, and avoid the monster's attack early."

"You're more thoughtful, boss." Maip said, "Who's going to town with you?"

"I'm going with Toby, and we can take a horse. , and run fast in danger. You take the convoy back and wait for my news at Mu Village, Tess is responsible for the protection and reconnaissance work.”

Dagon thought for a while and said, “Jie Ross, are you sure you can enter Heshan City?"

"Most likely. If you give a little money, there must be one or two city gate guards willing to let go. After all, we don't look like monsters in the wild forest."

"I want to take Lati with you. If she can find her aunt in the city, then Lati will have a safe place to stay, rather than hiding with the caravan."

"I've thought about that too, but my mission is more important, and I can't throw Toby for Lati." Geros said: "The other main reason is riding. It's complicated outside. , the monster of the wild forest may appear at any time, if there is no fast horse, it is too dangerous in the wild. And you Jiangu c lansman is not good at riding, and you never..."

"I have a mount. "Dagon said: "As long as Lati wants, I will take her with me." You can rest assured that I can keep up with your horses over long distances and sprint over short distances. "

"If you'd like to go, of course I'm very welcome." But you have to explain to Lati clearly that this trip to Heshan City is not without danger. "

The truth is that Lati thought for two seconds before agreeing. The only thing she worried about was being able to take her treasure chest.

The treasure chest has How much money, only Lati knows, others are not allowed to see it. The entire caravan actually knew about it, and they joked with Toby in private, saying that he boasted that he could find the money, but he was blown away. Because Dagon Provide shelter to Lati, and Toby also made it clear that whoever dares to bully Lati will be the second to oppose him, so everyone protects Lati's small treasure box like guarding their own money bags.

But when Lati was secretly counting money at night, Starhelm peeked on the side and saw everything. Since Dagon rests during the day and nights vigil, then Starhelm will sleep well during Dagon's vigil, not With him. The gecko-sized bear lizard was hard to spot in the shadow of the carriage, and Lati simply didn't care. She counted for a long time, using the simple arithmetic knowledge her late parents and Dagon gave her, Only then did the treasure count.

Starhelm knew about this, but it was a bear lizard and couldn't count, so he couldn't report the exact number to Dagon. It just said that Lati was satisfied and still used The little hand patted the lid of the box lightly three times.

While talking three times, he raised his three paws and patted a total of eight times. Dagon covered his forehead, wondering if he should train the bear lizard. Math. But the bear lizard has four very short fingers on each paw, making a total of 24 fingers. How much does it count?

Forget it, this is a digression, anyway, even if Dagon wants to teach, Starhelm is determined not to learn. It climbs on top of Dagon's head, pulls its hair, and helps Dagon summon elemental puppets. Even if it is completely ignored to help the vigil, absolute loyalty and good-looking, just rely on the ability of this summon mount, It doesn't have to worry about eating and drinking, so what arithmetic does it need to learn?

"You are so weird, you don't seem to be a spell. Is it a sprite card? "It's the first time Gerlos and the team have seen this up close, thought it was some kind of spell, and Dagon didn't have a good grasp, often rampaged, and plowed better than travel. But looking at it now Come on, the elemental puppet is already very stable and hardly damages the ground, or it is similar to the wear effect of a horse's hoof on soft ground. In addition, the back of the elemental puppet is wider than that of a horse, and Lati can not only sit on it, but curl his body and want to lie down. It's not impossible.

"The bear lizard is the mount of the Jiangu tribe. My bear lizard is a bit small, but still following this principle. This is the blessing of Oli to Jiangu clansman, and I have always been very grateful. Dagon patted the elemental puppet and said proudly.

When the battle of Chimera was nearing the end, Geros and Tess repeatedly dived into the lake to look for Dagon. The scene of the elemental puppet landing. This time, they can take a closer look. After cautiously reaching out and touching the elemental puppet, Geros looked a little confused: "But your mount is not a living creature, right? "

"Of course not alive. It's all dirt or Earth Element energy. "

At this time, Geros pointed to the neck and head of the bear lizard protruding in front of the element puppet and said, "What is this piece for? It has no nose, eyes and ears, this fake bear head is the front shield? "

Dagon was stunned for a moment, he really didn't pay attention to this problem. Subconsciously, he regarded the elemental puppet as a bear lizard, just like the Kuku or Doma's Junlong at home, so a bear head is the only way It's normal. But it's not normal. What does the elemental puppet want to do?
Starhelm also understands Dagon's idea, so the elemental puppet begins to change its shape and develops in a direction that pays more attention to rationality and efficiency. The false bear in front The head of the lizard was gone, and the neck and shoulders began to shrink, and the overall length shortened. At this time, Dagon's legs were covered with mud and formed protection, and his position moved forward, about to the front of the elemental puppet. At the same time, the puppet The overall shape is high in front and low in the back, and Dagon's head is about two meters away from the ground.

"Uh..." Geros was stunned, and some of the caravan behind him were already pu chi pu chi He laughed. "Ah Dagon... did you know there are creatures called centaurs? "

"That's what I thought too. "Dagon picked up the headhunting axe and looked at the distance between the headhunting axe and the ground when his arms were naturally lowered. "Starhelm, can you go any lower?" Yes, it is best to brush the ground when cutting diagonally, so that the attack distance is the real threat distance. ”

Dagon just dropped the head hunting axe and slowly drew a semi-circle around his body. Everyone in the team felt intimidated and took a half step back involuntarily. Maipu raised his hand and wiped it away. Sweat beaded on his forehead and asked, "Dagon, can you also fight as a Knight? "

"I can, but I'm not skilled." In the past, my father wouldn't let me practice riding on Kuku, only sitting on a rock pier. I know how to fight, but have no practical experience with it. Oh, do you mean the human Knight fights like that? The fighting method of our Jiangu bear lizard Knight is different from that of human Knight. Bear lizards can't run as fast as horses, and underground caves can't tolerate group charges, so we don't use the method of directly piercing with lances. "

"Looks a bit odd, as if Lati was on a horse fighting with a battle axe." Geros shook his head, throwing his strange thoughts out of his head. "Even if you say that the bear lizard is not as fast as a horse, your elemental puppet is much more useful than a horse. Summon when you want to use it, and use it up when you don't want to, so it's not cumbersome at all. "

"There are downsides too, like I have to stay awake all the time and can't sleep on the elemental golem's back." "

"It's generally not a situation where you need to sleep on horseback." "Jeros said something along the way, but listening to his tone, it seems that he has an understanding of the combat and life of human Knights.

After solving the problem of the mount, the four-man squad set off. Toby Ride a horse with Gerlos, the short one sitting in front of the tall one; Lati and Dagon on elemental mounts, this time the short one sitting in the back. Toby quipped that if Dagon covered his body with dirt, then Lati seemed to be riding on the back of a dwarf statue, which was quite strange. Lati replied that Toby just couldn't eat grapes and said that the grapes were sour. The back of the elemental puppet was very wide and comfortable. When moving It doesn't feel bumpy either, that's definitely better than being on horseback.

The two of them are bickering like little children, but Toby is a full-grown halfling, just small. He doesn't have a real little childish temper. , now tease Lati to distract her from the impending separation.
