Chapter 538 Night Attack
Although there are new forces joining the adventurer industry, their growth always takes time and they cannot become an effective combat force in a short period of time.
Herage sat on a carriage at the rear of the convoy, and he was responsible for watching the area near the rear of the convoy.
Ferry is at the front of the convoy, and Ferry's subordinates are responsible for the middle area of the convoy and the investigation of the situation ahead.
Ferry's adventure group works together very well and has obviously been working together for many years.
There is a clear division of labor between who is responsible for reconnaissance and who is responsible for logistical supplies.
Only half a day after the caravan set off, Ferry's subordinates rode up from the front and discovered something.
There is a dense forest ahead, and there are three overturned carriages in the dense forest.
The horses pulling the carts fell to the ground and had been eaten down to their skeletons.
In addition to the horse carcasses, there were many human remains at the scene.
It's just that not even a complete body can be seen, and the only remaining remains have traces of gnawing on them.
There are also many footprints of various shapes at the scene.
"It's a group of monsters." Ferry dismounted and observed the ground for a while and said.
The monster group is different from the wolf group, which only has one race: wolf. The monster group is usually composed of a variety of monsters, so the footprints on the scene look very messy, with all kinds of monsters present.
"You have to cheer up, guys!" Ferry said solemnly.
The traces on the ground were still fresh, indicating that the monster group had not gone far and should be wandering nearby.
"Speed up and leave this area as soon as possible." Ferry directed.
Herage heard clearly from the back of the car and saw the marks on the ground.
He looked up at the sky. It was noon, and he still had half a day to travel, but he didn't know if it would be enough.
After seeing this scene in the dense forest, the atmosphere in the caravan was obviously much heavier, and most people had worried faces on their faces.
…
At dusk, the caravan had arrived at the entrance of a mountain range and found a place to stop against the mountain.
This place has a mountain behind it, so you only need to guard a few other directions.
Even if there is any unexpected situation, we can retreat to the mountains and not have no way to retreat on the plains.
Ferry's adventure group is very professional and has very tight defenses. It also has experts patrolling around to check the situation at any time.
Herage's mission is to guard the camp, and he cannot leave the camp easily without special circumstances.
At night.
Herage sat next to the bonfire, watching the wood burning in the bonfire, making crackling sounds from time to time, and a trace of smoke drifting out along with the popping sound.
It had been quiet for the first half of the night. Herage sat by the fire and closed his eyes to meditate.
Until late at night, the camp was very quiet, only some snoring could be heard.
Herage suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Wake up, something is coming."
He had deliberately made his voice louder, and the camp was very quiet.
So his voice woke up everyone in the camp.
These people are on the move all year round and are very alert, and no one will sleep so hard.
If you sleep hard in the wild, you generally won't survive for long.
"What's going on?" Ferry came over and asked. He hadn't noticed anything yet.
Torre also came closer, and he didn't notice any strange movement.
But they didn't think Herage was joking. A great knight wouldn't be bored enough to make such a joke.
Herage looked to the east and said, "If I heard correctly, there should be a group of monsters approaching over there."
Ferry did not doubt Herage's words, but asked: "How many?"

"I'm not sure, but the sound should be indispensable," Herage said.
As soon as these words came out, the people in the camp suddenly became nervous.
Ferry acted quickly and immediately commanded the adventure group to start building a defensive formation.
Herage drew his sword and stood in the center of the camp.
According to the arrangement, he is responsible for guarding here and cannot rush out to deal with the enemy.
This is to prevent monsters from entering the camp from other directions, causing the camp to be empty of power.
Soon, Ferry and Torre also heard the noise in the east.
The speed of the monster group was very fast. After a while, everyone heard the running and roaring sounds of the monsters.
When Ferry's subordinates fired the first arrow, it was announced that the battle had officially begun.
Several adventurers holding giant shields formed a steel wall at the front, blocking the monster's advance.
Several other adventurers armed with close-range weapons were nearby to kill the approaching monsters, and there were also fire cover from other archers behind them.
The group of monsters was temporarily blocked, and monsters continued to fall in front.
Although the number of monsters is large, they are not very intelligent.
Ferry's adventure group dealt with it with ease, and seemed to have seen such scenes many times.
Although Herage was in the center of the camp, it was not easy.
Because a flying monster flew over the front defense line and came directly to the camp.
A bat-like monster had just arrived above the camp and was about to spit something at the people below when it was impaled in the head by a piece of wood as thick as an arm.
The monster immediately fell down, and several bows and arrows were shot at the place where it originally flew.
When everyone looked down, they knew that the log was thrown by Herage, and they couldn't help but marvel at Herage's power.
To be able to pierce a monster directly with a piece of wood from such a distance requires strength that no ordinary person can achieve.
Herage took a long bow from someone else, bent the bow and nocked an arrow, then stretched the long bow into a full moon shape, and arrows flew out one after another.
Several flying monsters were hit by bows and arrows before they even got close to the camp.
Such bows and arrows cannot kill them directly, but because the location of Herague's shot is very tricky, their speed will be greatly reduced.
As soon as they slowed down, they were greeted by countless arrows, which were directly shot into hedgehogs.
After a while, all the flying monsters in the sky were eliminated.
Herage stood there, looking down at the ground.
He suddenly turned his head to look at a young woman hiding behind the carriage, and suddenly ran over and hugged the young woman in his arms.
"Ah...I..." The young woman didn't know why, but she didn't struggle. Instead, she got close to Herage's chest and rubbed a certain part of it.
Herage knew that she might have misunderstood, but he had no time to explain.
The next moment, a thick tentacle emerged from the ground, with a huge hook at the end.
The hook is very sharp and can easily break human flesh.
Everyone was shocked when they saw this scene and backed away from that place.
After the young woman saw this scene, her legs became weak and she fell on top of Herage. Her whole body was so frightened that she lost all strength.
She couldn't imagine what would have happened if Herague hadn't taken her away. (End of chapter)
