"It turned out to be you!"

Seeing the figure in sight, a half-elf ranger with arms folded and leaning casually by the door, the lord of Twilight Town, Sarayan, raised his thick eyebrows involuntarily, and his head seemed to have been knocked. Like a sap, he stood motionless on the spot.

In this strange atmosphere, the savage personality next to him glanced at the ranger outside the door, and then glared at the smiling Holat.

Finally, he cast his eyes on Sarayan beside him, and immediately found that their lord, who usually likes not to be angry and self-righteous, was like being struck by lightning. His eyes were like walnuts, and his mouth was knocked open. Papaya-like, unable to close for a long time.

"Do these two have an affair?" A wicked thought popped into the barbarian's mind.

Immediately afterwards, he smiled and bumped the lord beside him with his arm that was thicker than a ranger's thigh, signaling him not to stand there in a daze.

Sarayan was staggered by the savage, and finally pulled him back to reality, then steadied his body and smiled awkwardly at the Ranger, immediately stretched out his arms, and strode forward with a smile:

"Hahaha... The half-elf ranger in the town of Falls, Thorne, I was so surprised, we really haven't seen each other for a long time. However, the name of your kid has made my ears almost get calluses."

"...It's not such an exaggeration." Thorne turned to avoid the enthusiastic Salayan, came to Horat's side, and looked at him a little confused.

Obviously, he was a little confused by the lord who had suddenly become so enthusiastic in front of him.

Although the two met several times six months ago and reached a cooperation mission, it does not mean that their relationship will be brought closer to this point.

Besides, being hugged warmly by a big man will only make him feel a chill.

"Hiss... I don't know." Horat shrugged helplessly, because the movement was so large that it involved the wound on his arm, causing him to grin at the ranger beside him in pain.

In fact, he is also very puzzled about the uncharacteristic enthusiasm of the lord today.

This enthusiasm was even more exciting than when he learned half a month ago that the war priest from Black Pearl Forest was coming to support Twilight Town.

From this, it can be seen that his friend Thorne definitely has something that can be very recognized by Sarayan.

"It's not an exaggeration at all, you may not know, every time he writes to Carlos, the first thing this guy shows off is what war fortress wizard tower has been built in their town, and a ranger who can single out the hobgoblin camp. Your words have praised you to the sky. Now that I finally see the deity again, can I not be excited?"

Salayan's mood looked very good because of Thorne's arrival, which attracted the attention of the wounded in the hall.

"Brother, what is the origin of this Thorne, do you know?" In the corner of the hall, a soldier with a leg injury looked at the Druid who was dressing his wound and said.

"You only came to Twilight Town by boat from Port Culin in the Southern Kingdom a month ago. Naturally, you don't know what happened on the Emerald Field." The Druid glanced at the half-elf shrouded in a black cloak in the distance. The ranger said to the wounded beside him:

"You've asked the right person this time. If I hadn't been lucky enough to be a student of the Druid Thornswalker from the Emerald Garden, I wouldn't have known about this ranger's glorious deeds."

"Then hurry up and listen to it." Another wounded not far away hung his bandaged left arm and leaned over to the Druid, looking very interested:

"All I know is that when we launched a counterattack against the gnolls in Moonlight Grove last year, this ranger from Fallsville was also involved. Not only did he assassinate all of the gnolls in the gnoll camp with Hollat, he also Killed the gnoll leader and a group of hill giants with his own hands.

Because of this, we in Twilight Town were able to win that war so quickly, and I don't know about other things.

After all, after the battle was over, he left quietly. I was still paying special attention to him secretly at the time. Unfortunately, he was too low-key and didn't even attend the celebration banquet. "

"You certainly don't know, these are all internal news of Jade Leisure Court, and I also overheard the Thorns Walker mention it a few times before I understood." The Druid carefully wrapped the bandages for the warriors, and glared at the two. man said:

"It is said that this sturdy half-elf ranger has set up five or six camps of hobgoblins in the Serenity Forest.

Because the movement was too loud, it almost caused a forest fire, and then he was blacklisted by the nature protectors of Jade Leisure Garden, and threatened to turn him into nature if he dared to continue to be so arrogant. fertilizer.

The end result is that the rangers still go their own way, while the druids keep silent all the time, and this matter is finally gone. I guess it is very likely that someone secretly shot him to keep him. "

"I'm going... that's the hobgoblin's camp. In this kind of camp like a regular army, their configuration at least includes a hobgoblin army commander who has reached the third rank, a few guards, and two teams of ten people. The number of hobgoblin sacrifices was just picked by him alone, and he also picked six in a row."

The injured soldier was as surprised as if he saw the Emerald River suddenly flow back, and then suddenly said: "No wonder these goblins would rather give up the nearest waterfall and go to the town, but also run so far to besiege our Twilight Town, I am afraid that they will not be attacked by the other party. Get scared."

"What do you think, otherwise, how could the lord become so happy when he saw the arrival of the ranger. Don't forget, the hobgoblins who are besieging our town now are at most two legions and a large group of cannon fodder lizardmen bullywugs, we With this ranger in Twilight Town, they will definitely be able to push them back."

The awkward chat between Thorne and the Lord of Twilight Town on the other side finally came to an end amid the suspicious and earnest whispers in the hall.

"This is the letter that Carlos asked me to bring to you before I left, please take a look." Thorne took out a letter and handed it to Salayan.

Of course, he knows the relationship between Carlos and Salayan very well, and he also knows that the pair of good friends who graduated from Zhanzheng College often use their animal companions to exchange letters and exchange their latest information.

Therefore, he was not surprised that Sarayan knew about his situation, the cooperation between Uptown and Carlos, and the Emerald Tower.

"Carlos is finally enlightened. Now that the four towns on the Emerald Fields have reached an agreement, it is the most exclusive town of Stolman on the Norsil Plain." Sarayan quickly scanned the contents of the letter. Nod slightly.

"Don't worry about Stallman Town, I can convince them to join." Thorne could guess the general content of the letter without looking at it, so he replied confidently.

"That would be the best thing, as long as our five towns unite, defeat the hobgoblins first, then drive the gnolls back to the Dajianhen Mountains, and then build a military fortress in the Falling Dragon Canyon, and when it stabilizes, Together we can build on the Norhir Plains..."

Hearing Thorne's confident words, Sarajan did not doubt, but was shocked, and began to talk to them about the lofty ideals he had planned for a long time.

However, before he could finish speaking, Thorne interrupted him directly: "Now is not the time to discuss these issues, let's resolve the Hobgoblin crisis in Twilight Town first."

Thorne remained silent about the lofty ideals of the Lord of Twilight.

The only thing that surprised him was that he found that both Salayan and Carlos were thinking very far. One thought about the future situation of the Emerald Field, and the other began to plan how to deploy and build a city in the Emerald Field.

What he considered was not that complicated. His goal was to protect everything in Shangpu Town and Shangcheng District, and then improve his strength as quickly as possible. When he had enough strength, he would go to Sigil City to solve these differences between them. The real purpose of the compatriots coming here is to prepare in advance for the inexplicable crisis in the future.

After all, the plane insight he accidentally met predicted to him what the emerald field would look like in the future.

It will be a sad story if it is true as the Insights say.

Interrupted by Thorne, Sarayan smiled sheepishly, and he obviously knew that this was not the time to discuss this.

So he put away the letter, looked straight, and said seriously: "I knew when I saw your arrival that the dark cloud shrouded by hobgoblins in Twilight Town can finally be dispelled. Then, it's time for us to confront the hobgoblins outside the town. counterattack."

"I came from Iron Horse Town, I think you should know what this means." After the topic was pulled back, Thorne listened to the sound of the horn in the siege battle that had not yet started outside the town, while facing the front said the lord.

"You mean that the reinforcements from Iron Horse Town have left?" As a lord of the town, he naturally heard the true meaning of Thorne's words, and then he again expressed another worry in his heart:

"If the reinforcements from Iron Horse Town set off, it would be a really good thing for us, but what I am worried about now is that their raids will be detected by the scouts scattered around the periphery of the hobgoblins, and they will be intercepted at In the middle of the journey, that's not worth the loss."

"So, does Lord Sarayan know how I got into the town?" Thorne did not directly answer the other party's question about his worries, but smiled lightly and asked in return.

"Your Excellency Thorne is an excellent ranger. He can quietly escape the scouts on the outskirts of Iron Horse Town and pass through the blockade of the Moonlight Jungle. It shouldn't be a big problem." Sarayan thought for a moment and said.

Their strongest assassin in Twilight, Horat, is a 5th-level rogue-advanced 5th-level assassin, and he also doubles as a 10th-level Underdark drow master swordsman.

Although his strength has not yet reached the level of a Tier 3 hero, his challenge level is undoubtedly the highest in the entire town, and even the first savage in the town to reach the Tier 3 hero level is no match.

That is to say, he can break through a blockade that even Holart can't pass through, which is undoubtedly an indirect proof that his strength is better than that of Holart.

Of course, if he didn't have this kind of strength, how could he have picked five or six hobgoblin camps by himself.

Thinking of this, Sarajan seemed to understand the true meaning of Thorne's words, so that his gaze at the other party became surprised again.

He found that the half-elf ranger appeared in front of him within a few minutes, and the expression of excitement and surprise in his heart was more than in the past month.

After all, as a person who has seen the big world, it is hard to have any unexpected situations that are worth moving.

"If it is said that cleaning up all the blocked enemies is considered a silent sneak, then you can think so." Thorne replied casually under the eyes of the other party's gradually becoming surprised.

"It's great to say that you have helped the people of Iron Horse Town to clean up the scouts on the periphery." With the affirmative answer from the ranger, Salayan's last worries disappeared without a trace.

With the help of the cavalry regiment of Iron Horse Town to attack the formation of the Hobgoblins, Twilight Town's grasp of repelling the Hobgoblins will be improved again. For Salayan, this is indeed a gratifying thing.

At the same time, he also really understood why these Hobgoblins stopped provoking Waterfall Town after launching two tentative attacks, but instead shifted their target to Twilight Town, which seemed to be the best bully.

"However, they'll soon learn that Twilight Town is also a tough one." Sarajan glanced out the door and thought to himself.

"Let's go, come with me to the tower, and let's discuss how to repel the enemy's attack." Then Sarayan and Horat explained a few words, let him temporarily recover from the injury, and then led Thorne and the barbarian Howard Go towards the castle.

"Why didn't you see Master Withered Wood?" When the three of them reached the tower, Thorne looked around and found that he had not found the figure of the Druid, the master of Master Qingchen.

As an apprentice, Master Qingchen has shown the ability to convince him, so Thorne is curious about how sacred Master Deadwood is as a master.

"Master Deadwood is about to break through the Tier 3 hero level, and now it's a critical moment, and I'm still realizing it." Sarajan replied, and then looked at the hobgoblins, lizards and bully frogs who were gathering troops under the city tower and preparing to attack the city. and various slaves.

"The number of enemies is very large. It is too difficult to defeat them head-on with our strength." Thorne glanced at the dense humanoid creatures and the stench floating over, and said.

Of course, there is one more thing he didn't say, that is, even if it is successfully defeated, the loss of Twilight Town will be very large.

Then, Thorne subconsciously looked up at the bright sunshine and said, "Lord Sarayan, I wonder if you can drag them to the time when the sun is the strongest. In this case, at least the lizardmen and bullywugs have The strength will be greatly weakened by the lack of water.”

"Unlikely, these gnomes are not stupid, they are very aware of their weaknesses, so every time we attack the city, as long as we persist until noon, they will evacuate quickly and orderly, giving you no chance to fight back. "

Salayan pondered for a moment, shook his head slightly and said, "If it can really drag them until noon, it is indeed a way to minimize the losses."

"I do have a method worth trying." Thorne looked into the distance and stood on the siege tower. He was pushed by the ogres to move slowly, and then the commander of the Hobgoblin army, who kept giving orders, suddenly came up with a good idea. , so he smiled and said, "Help me find someone with the highest taunting skills."
