Since it has been confirmed that there is a problem with the island, Kroeber will naturally not rashly send his soldiers to take risks.
There seems to be no problem in the western part of the island at present, so the area around the ship is relatively safe.
So Krober planned to let them stay on the boat and go to the central area of the island to investigate the situation.
Krober looked at the setting sun and put off the task of exploring the central island until tomorrow morning.
Since there might be a battle tomorrow, Kroeber arranged for the soldiers and Griffin to keep watch tonight, while he returned to his room in the cabin to recuperate.
night.
The soldiers who were on guard outside were chatting idly because they were bored.
"Mes, I really envy you. You became an apprentice knight at such a young age. Even Master Krober thinks you have the potential to become a full knight.
When you become a noble in the future, don't forget us old friends!"
Metz rubbed his head shyly and smiled:
"That's not right, Brother Hans. Others might not know you, but you don't know me. You even taught me the common language, so how could I possibly forget you? Besides, I might not even be able to become a full knight.
Lord Hyer said that becoming a full-fledged knight requires the aid of potions, but the potions at the Military Merit Office require too much military merit, and I still need to save up for a long time."
"Hahahahaha, I, Old Hans, am very pleased that you can say that. It's worth it that I've taken such good care of you since you first joined our team.
Don't worry about the potion. We are following the Lord to explore the new island this time. The rewards for military merit will definitely be quite a lot. When you return, you can enjoy the military merit book."
The sea was calm and there was not even a breeze. The only sound in the quiet atmosphere was the low conversation of Metz and Hans.
"Speaking of which, you and the girl... Tsk, what's it called, some card?"
"It's Beskar, Brother Hans."
“Oh yes, Beskar, this name is too hard to remember!
After you complete this mission, are you going to go back and marry that Beskar?"
When mentioning Beskar, a happy smile appeared on Mace's face.
"Yes, I have submitted an application to Lord Hyer. Lord Hyer said that when the lord hears about this, he will give me a knight's sword as a gift."
Hans was shocked when he heard this.
"What? Is this a gift that the Lord personally prepared for you? Dragons above! Just how lucky are you, you little fellow?
I swear, I'm really jealous of you!"
Mace smiled shyly.
"I am very grateful to the Lord. It is you who allowed me to have enough food every day and gave me a name. I have already sworn that I will fight for you my whole life, until my death!"
Hans patted Metz's shoulder and didn't say much, but Metz knew what his good brother was thinking.
Everything is said without words...
But they didn't know that Green Leaf Island had undergone drastic changes at this time.
"rustle"
The first person to hear the unusual noise was Krober, who was resting in the room. The hearing enhancement given to him by the Earth Knight was enough for him to hear the faint sounds of insects flapping their wings within a radius of several hundred meters.
He put on his armor, picked up his weapon, and rushed out.
"Lord!" x2
Hans and Metz, who were on guard on the deck, saw Krober suddenly appear on the deck and hurriedly bowed to him.
Krober simply waved his hand, signaling them to get up, and then focused all his attention on sensing the strange noise that had just occurred.
"It sounds like some kind of insect crawling on the ground. Could there be nocturnal insects on this island?"
In this world, although there are fewer insect-type monsters, their individual combat power is relatively weak.
But whenever insect-like monsters appear, they appear in large groups, often causing huge population and economic losses.
Especially the ones that can fly!
But Kroeber did not hear the sound of flapping wings, only the sound of friction on the ground.
"You must immediately wake up everyone else, put on your weapons and equipment, and prepare for battle."
Krober gave instructions to Mace and Hans beside him.
"yes!"
The two nodded, then immediately returned to the cabin and woke up everyone who was still sleeping.
Kroeber followed the sound to the island, intending to find out what was going on.
As soon as he got on the island, Krober clearly felt that the atmosphere of the entire island had changed.
During the day, he stood on the beach, looking at the small island covered with lush vegetation, and felt that it was full of vitality.
But now, when night falls, everything becomes completely different.
The once bright sky was shrouded in darkness, with the moonlight faintly penetrating the clouds, illuminating only a small area of the island.
The surrounding environment became extremely quiet, with only the rustling sounds lingering in Krober's ears.
If an ordinary person saw this scene, they would probably be scared and run away.
Kroeber chose to go deeper, he wanted to find out what secrets this island had.
Through his mental exploration, Kroeber discovered a strange scene.
I saw many leech-like insects crawling out of the ground nearby. These insects looked black and were about the size of a normal adult's index finger.
Their bodies were covered in mucus, and because they had just emerged from the soil, some mud was still hanging on their bodies.
They walk in the same way as leeches, crawling by muscle contraction.
After they crawled out of the soil, they had no desire to hunt or attack. Instead, they climbed into the digestive fluid of the Venus flytrap and actively provided nutrition to the Venus flytrap.
