The mixed caravan that set out from Ment Town has been traveling for several days.
During this period, we also passed through several towns and post stations.
As a result, many personnel within the team have been replaced.
On the first day of the animal cart that Hulim was riding, the young woman got off at a town along the way.
Later, a young woman got on the bus again. She looked younger than the one who got off before, probably about fifteen or sixteen years old. She was dressed quite simply, in a tightly wrapped gray robe. Like Hulim, she also carried a magic wand.
The new passenger seemed to have a very cold personality, and even when the old lady tried to get close to him, he ignored her.
Gradually, the old lady gave up the idea of talking to the other party, and the carriage became much quieter.
For Hulim, this was a pretty good thing.
"Strange, where has the convoy come to? It feels like it's been completely covered in forest since a while ago."
Looking at the dense forests on both sides of the road, Hulim felt a sense of doubt...
At the same time, the guards of the convoy were gathering together to discuss.
"Everyone, you all know that as the Demon King's return approaches, monsters everywhere are becoming more active, right?"
Alec spoke up.
The other adventurers nodded.
"It's more than just hearsay. Now when we go out on missions, we encounter monsters more and more frequently..."
"It's okay if it happens too often, but I'm afraid of encountering too strong guys. I heard that a team I'm familiar with suddenly encountered a giant earth bear while out on a mission a few months ago, and the entire team almost didn't make it back!"
"Yeah, I've encountered a similar situation before. If the scouts in the team hadn't discovered it early, we might have died there. Thanks to that, the commission fell through..."
Adventurers continued to share their experiences in recent years, and from their words, it was not difficult to hear the seriousness of the monster activation situation.
"Ahem, everyone, we'll talk about those things tonight. Now let's talk about business."
Alec interrupted everyone's discussion and said seriously,
"Before setting off, I received intelligence that monsters seemed to be appearing frequently along the route ahead, and there have been several monster attacks."
"So, the next section of the journey will likely be rough, so everyone must be extremely alert!"
The adventurers' expressions turned serious upon hearing this.
"learn.!"
"Okay, then let's rearrange the patrol and guard duties..."
As the adventurers became more vigilant, the frequency of the four Swiftfoots' patrols also increased significantly.
Although the passengers in the convoy hadn't been informed, the tense atmosphere emanating from the adventurers had already made them feel somewhat uneasy. Their voices unconsciously became much quieter as the entire convoy continued its journey through the forest in silence...
Soon, the convoy came to an uphill road.
Looking at the long uphill road in front of him, which was not too steep, Alec couldn't help but frown.
It would be too dangerous to be ambushed in a place like this.
The convoy had no way to speed up and escape. Even if it turned around, it would not be an easy task for such a large convoy.
"Steen!"
"What's wrong?"
Steen, masked, came over.
"Can you find a high place and check the surrounding situation?"
“A higher place…”
Steen looked around and nodded slightly.
"good."
After saying that, he turned and left the team and walked into the jungle next to him...
At the same time, on the hillside not far ahead of the convoy.
In the gloomy jungle, pairs of greedy eyes slowly emerged, watching the approaching convoy, their inner cruel desires almost unable to be suppressed...
"...Well, this tree."
Steen patted a big tree in the jungle and climbed to the top of the tree in a few seconds.
He grabbed the branch with one hand and made a look-out gesture with the other.
"Um?"
When he looked in a certain direction, his eyes narrowed slightly, wanting to confirm further.
The next moment,
His eyes suddenly widened.
"not good--!"
... ...
Inside the convoy.
Hulim, who had been sitting quietly in her seat, suddenly fixed her eyes, clenched her wand tightly, and stood up.
The people in the same compartment still didn't understand why she suddenly did this.
"call out--!"
A sharp sound of breaking through the air was heard outside the car...
“Enemy attack—!!!”
In an instant, the originally orderly convoy was thrown into chaos.
“Moooooooo!!!”
The giant pack beast paced around restlessly, with more than ten arrows stuck in its body, and arrows kept shooting at it from the jungle. The driver who was driving the giant pack beast tried desperately to control it, but it was difficult to do so for a while.
"Adventurers, please stand on the periphery! Everyone, get off the bus immediately!"
"The drivers immediately gathered the carts together and formed a circle! Those who were not capable of fighting should go to the middle..."
"...Quickly control the giant beast of burden!"
"No, the giant beast of burden is completely frightened!"
"Then calm it down!"
