Somewhere in the Emerald Wilderness, Thorne had a sullen face, his eyes glowed with a faint green glow, and from time to time he looked at the fresh footprints on the ground and walked at the forefront.

The sorceress Andrina followed closely behind her and did not fall behind. Her pet little devil flapped her little leather wings and floated in mid-air. She glanced at Thorne, who was silent, and chose to keep quiet.

Ashmore led the half-blooded winter wolf to draw out a steel long sword drenched in cold light, and walked in the back row, keeping a certain distance from Thorne.

As he walked, he vigilantly looked behind him or on the left and right sides, always on guard for unexpected guests, as if returning to the time when he and Thorne went out to scout for the enemy.

However, his golden eyes, hidden in the dark green cloak, occasionally wandered back and forth between Thorne and Andrina, as if trying to figure out something that puzzled him.

Is there a creek ahead?

Thorne stopped, his pale green eyes darting quickly across the canopy that shrouded the creek.

It was now the cold, dry, rotten leaf moon, and the riverbed in front of me had long since dried up, and it was littered with thorns and rotting trees.

Thorne squatted down and observed the densely packed two different footprints on the riverbed. Seeing the familiar traces, his heart suddenly felt a little bad.

"What's wrong?" Andrina asked while squatting beside Thorne.

"The situation was a little unexpected, and the traces of the ogre were found." Thorne stood up and said with a dignified expression.

"Could it be..." Anderina got up and subconsciously guessed.

"That's right, the gnoll and the ogre should be united." Thorne nodded and said the other party's unspoken words first.

After finishing speaking, Thorne glanced at Ashmo who was vigilant behind him, then turned his attention to the little devil Simba, and finally locked him in the birch forest on the other side of the riverbed.

The so-called gnoll leader in Ashmo's mouth is not so easy to find. At first, he locked the position, and Andrina's magic pet went to scout. When the little devil arrived, the gnoll leader had already led his subordinates. go away.

In the end, with the ability to change various small animals, the little devil took a lot of effort to find the position of the leader of the gnoll.

When the little devil returned to tell everyone the specific information, the three of them rushed to the position of the gnoll leader under the leadership of the little devil.

However, what is surprising is that in this back-and-forth time period, the trace of the gnoll leader disappeared again.

So the scene in front of him appeared. In order to track the location of the gnoll leader as soon as possible, Thorne directly blessed himself with the ranger's magic "Fresh Trace".

But when he led the two to near the dry creek.

There were traces of ogres around. Judging from the intersection of the footprints, it was obvious that the two sides converged here and then went in a certain direction together.

"There are five ogres in total, and from the depth of their footprints, we can tell that there are four ogres in heavy armor.

In the entire emerald field, the ogre tribe with the ability to forge armor means that their leader is an ogre wizard with a high degree of wisdom.

Ogres are not scary. After all, these guys who can't even count ten are all stunned. What is scary is the ogre tribe with ogre wizards.

The ogre tribe with wizards means that they have mastered their heritage under the leadership of the ogre wizards. The ambitious ogre wizards will definitely not be satisfied with wandering in groups of three or five.

Smart ogre wizards know how to develop their own clan, they will gather all the roaming ogres in the area, and then establish settlements, forging weapons and equipment, making leather armor, domesticating beasts, and capturing slaves on a large scale.

Judging from the footprints on the ground, the four ogres in heavy armor walked on the left and right sides respectively, and the ogre without heavy armor walked in the middle. We are about to face an ogre wizard. "

Thorne shared his findings with everyone, and then looked at Ashmo and said, "Ashmo, has there been a medium-sized ogre tribe in Waterfall Town recently?"

"There is an ogre tribe called Skull Kicks. The last time I went to reconnaissance, I was discovered by the ogre wizard there, and was almost caught by them." Ashmo pondered for a moment, and said with some fear.

Thorne heard the words and looked at the sorceress Andrina beside him.

Andrina felt Thorne's gaze, and immediately understood what he meant, and then glared at him without showing weakness.

"..." Seeing the stubbornness in the sorceress's eyes, Thorne let out a laugh and stopped talking, but turned his eyes to Ashmore who was curious not far away and said:

"We're going to face the joint attack of the gnoll priest and the ogre wizard. The three of us will definitely not be able to deal with it. You have good legs and feet, hurry back to find Carlos to rescue the soldiers, the two of us are waiting for you here. ."

"Your reason is too lame. The enemy has already run away every time you come and go. You really think I'm stupid." Ashmo directly exposed Thorne's lie and said:

"Don't worry, I won't hold you back. I can't guarantee anything else. In terms of the ability to escape, you are definitely no match for me."

"I'm not joking with you, go back quickly." Thorne said with a serious face when he couldn't help but flicker.

The gnoll priest and the ogre wizard left together after meeting, Thorne guessed their purpose after a little thought.

It is nothing more than to form an alliance, there are tribes with ogre wizards, and the number of ogres is at least 200, but for the town of waterfalls with a city wall, the danger is not very big.

If the ogre tribe allied with the gnolls from the Great Sword Mark Mountains, and united to attack the town of Waterfall, with the strength of the town of Waterfall, I am afraid that the tragedy of half a year ago would be staged again.

If you want to prevent such a tragedy from happening, the best way is to trace the trail of the gnoll and the ogre, and kill all the leaders of both sides, then the crisis in the town of waterfalls will naturally be solved.

Although Thorne can't guarantee success, but at least try hard.

"Did you know? Everyone has been talking about you since you left Falls Town." Ashmore didn't listen to Thorne's words, put away his giggling expression, and asked with a serious face.

"I probably guessed it." Thorne said slowly with a sullen expression.

"Many people say you are a coward, a coward, a deserter, and a person who is greedy for life and fear of death." Ashmo said through gritted teeth.

Thorne was stunned in place. Although it was the same as what he guessed, it was still very uncomfortable to be said by Chi Guoguo like this.

However, there was nothing he could do. After all, when he left Waterfall Town, he did take advantage of the dark night without saying hello and sneaked away alone. As long as he was a normal person, he would have such thoughts.

But he had to do it. If he chose to do it again, he would still be the same. Just relying on his ranger strength was almost dispensable for Waterfall Town, and it couldn't change anything.

He must find a way to increase his strength, so naturally there will be no miracles in Pushang Town, so he left Pushang Town to find a way to increase his strength. Fortunately for him, he succeeded, so He is back.

Andrina, who was standing beside Thorne, listened to Ashmore's words, and looked at Thorne's silent expression, she suddenly felt an inexplicable heartache, so she took one of Thorne's arms. He put his palm in his own, comforting him silently.

"Although many people say this about you, I always believe that you are not that kind of person. You must have your own difficulties, and you will come back one day." Ashmo said firmly:

"You really didn't let me down. I learned a lot of ranger skills from you in Waterfall Town, and one of them was never abandoning my teammates.

So I want to fight alongside you, behead gnoll leaders and ogre wizards, and smash their heads in front of those who mock you and tell them you're not that kind of person. "

"Let's go."

Feeling the warmth in his palm penetrated his heart, and Ashmo's sonorous words, Thorne took a deep breath, calmed down, and uttered two words solemnly.
