As usual, crisp bird chirping rang out in the dawn mist, heralding the dawn of the sunrise.

Thorne, who was sitting cross-legged on a large rock, opened his eyes, put the weapon standing in front of him into the scabbard, got up to meet the first rays of the sunrise, and prepared for a new day of adventure.

Suddenly, a black spot appeared in the gradually brightening sky, and drove towards Thorne at a very fast speed.

Thorne smiled slightly, and immediately stretched out his arm. A galloping falcon circled above his head and landed on it very obediently.

This falcon seemed to feel the natural affinity that is unique to the ranger. After falling on Thorne's arm, it gently rubbed the eagle's head on his sleeve.

- "Animal Conversation!"

Seeing this, Thorne smiled and stroked the smooth feathers of the falcon, looked at his smart eyes for a while, and waved his hand lightly, and this well-behaved little animal disappeared without a trace.

"I didn't expect the Hulk Hobgoblin to target Twilight Town and have been besieging them for two days." Thorne whispered as he walked among the damp weeds and bushes.

It has been two days since I left Stallman Town.

His position at this time is very close to Iron Horse Town.

During the two days of walking, Thorne found that many humanoids in the wilderness were migrating towards the north of the Emerald Field, which made him instantly realize that something was wrong, so when he was about to approach the destination, he immediately dispatched a small Animals go to scout.

Sure enough, as he expected, after the Hulk Hobgoblin successfully united the lizards and bully frogs in the bottomless swamp, they immediately targeted Twilight Town.

Obviously, they thought that the towns of Falls and Horn were a hard piece of bone that was difficult to gnaw, so they set their attack targets elsewhere.

Moreover, the Hulk Hobgoblin has been besieging Twilight Town for two days. Although it has not been captured until now, with the passage of time, the population of Twilight Town will definitely be exhausted.

After all, the Heruk Hobgoblin is backed by the entire Bottomless Swamp and Tranquil Forest, and the number advantage is not comparable to that of Twilight Town.

However, what really puzzled Thorne was that Twilight Town was under siege for two days, and the nearest Iron Horse Town was unmoved.

As a lord, it is impossible for them not to understand the reason why their lips are dead and their teeth are cold.

Iron Horse Town is built on a flat half-mountain, with the emerald river with undulating drop to the west, and the muddy swamps to the east. There are only two roads with an inclination of about 45 degrees that can really pass.

This condescending advantage, combined with their building like a small military castle, directly prevents the Hulk Hobgoblin from gaining a numerical advantage here. Therefore, the target of the attack will definitely not be the Iron Horse Town first.

But this doesn't mean that the Hobgoblins will give up Iron Horse Town, it's just more troublesome. When they take Twilight Town, Iron Horse Town will definitely become the next target.

Then, push the town of Stallman, and finally surround the town of Horn and Falls, and concentrate all the forces to launch a general attack.

"Let's go to Iron Horse Town first to find out the specific situation." Thorne pondered for a while, and then accelerated his pace and walked towards the Iron Horse Town.

Although the Hulk Hobgoblin surrounded Twilight Town, their encirclement was almost nothing to him, and he could come and go freely at any time as long as he wanted.

However, he did not intend to do so.

Now Twilight Town seems to be in danger, and Iron Horse Town is indifferent. He wants to find out what the situation is before making plans.

The main task of his trip to Twilight Town this time is to retrieve the legendary soul spar to make the tower spirit of the wizard's tower. He also has another task, that is, to test the opinions of several other towns and whether they are willing to unite together. Resist the foes of the wilderness.

After all, the Hobgoblins of Tranquil Forest are always a deadly threat to Waterfall Town and Horn Town. They are entrenched on the main road leading to Cyput City, which directly makes it difficult for the two towns to develop their economies. .

Although the goblin merchants in the underground world have started trade with Waterfall Town under his help, the profits of those specialties in Waterfall Town are quite limited.

The real valuables are weapons and equipment, spices and silk, as well as those luxury items that cannot be produced in the underground world.

Pushang Town does not yet have the ability to mass-produce this kind of thing.

Therefore, in order to truly prosper, the Hobgoblin in the Serene Forest must be completely eliminated.

Now, Thorne has understood their general meaning through a simple conversation with the night lord.

And not to mention Twilight Town, their lord Sarayan has been trying his best to promote the Five Towns Alliance.

As for this iron horse town, which seems a bit dead-headed, he needs to enter the town to observe the situation.

After all, the people of Iron Horse Town made a trick when the caravan in Stallman Town passed by last year, causing them to fall into the siege of the Lizardmen.

Although the lord of Iron Horse Town went to Stallman Town to apologize after the incident, it still made people in the two towns feel bad about it.

Moreover, when Twilight Town took the initiative to confront the gnolls, they once asked them for help, but the lord of this town found an excuse to shirk it.

Now it's the same again. Twilight Town has been besieged by Hobgoblins for two days. This Iron Horse Town, which can form a horn with Twilight Town, is still indifferent.

Such an abnormal attitude instantly aroused Thorne's curiosity.

He really couldn't understand what the lord of Iron Horse Town was doing.

Thorne walked along a **** deep in the jungle for about an hour, and the outline of Iron Horse finally appeared in front of him.

Looking at the round tower, the narrow windows, and the massive use of columns and vaults of various shapes, Thorne pondered for a while, and with a thought, he directly activated the teleportation technique of the Shadow Hand School and appeared on the city tower of Iron Horse Town.

"Huh?" When Thorne appeared in the tower, he immediately noticed something was wrong.

It's so quiet here that there's not even a guard.

Thorne moved his hand to the hilt of the sword and walked forward cautiously.

He looked down at the inside of the town and found that the castle was empty except for a bronze dragon statue in the center.

"What the **** happened?" Such a strange scene made Thorne even more puzzled.

Although there seemed to be no one in the whole town, he could tell from the traces on the ground that the people in Iron Horse Town were hiding in the room.

So Thorne, who was curious, immediately walked towards the stairs on the tower, ready to enter the town to find out.

However, as soon as he took two steps, he found a human man in a white robe with long silver-white hair leaning against the corner to bask in the sun.

Thorne looked at the young man with closed eyes and was about to speak, but the other party suddenly opened his bright eyes, turned his head to look at him, and said hello with a smile: "Hello, half-elf ranger from Waterfall Town. , Stalker of the Way of Silent."

After speaking, he got up and walked over, looking at him with interest.

"You are the Druid of the Emerald Garden." Thorne saw the mark on the human man's chest and guessed his identity.

"That's right, I'm the Druid of the Emerald Garden. You can call me the Silver Crow Messenger." The human man smiled and nodded.
