Xiaoqi has been very busy at work recently, and I was a little out of shape when typing. The number of words will probably get better in a few days, and there will be a small chapter in a few chapters, eh! Little **, that's probably it... (being dragged away)

"What speed?"
Although Dhruv's meaning is unclear, I don't think it's as simple as those tens of thousands of monsters just coming to a village for a meeting and then leaving.
"The movement speed is not very fast. After all, there are tens of thousands of them, and there is no discipline at all." Dhruv pondered for a while.
"I think if they keep this speed, they will probably arrive tonight. Maybe the vanguard will be faster."
"Really? Is everyone else ready?" Suddenly thinking of facing tens of thousands of monsters, I felt a little empty and panicked, but I was more excited.
"Well, I have already issued a notice. All soldiers can gather within 5 minutes."
"Haha, what are you afraid of? In terms of pure strength, we have the advantage, and we are still on the defensive side now." Seeing Dhruv looking a little reluctant to let go, I said with a smile.
"That's right, we can't mess up. The goal of this battle is just to reduce casualties as much as possible." After being reminded like this, Dhruv immediately woke up, clapped his hands vigorously, and removed all the people in the tent. The solemn atmosphere was broken.
"Haha, you're right. It's just that I've never faced tens of thousands of monsters before, so I'm not used to it for a while. But think about it, don't we have thousands of warriors here?" Lal also agreed.
"It's like this, let's go have a few drinks, ha..." Doug laughed.
"Go to hell..." Doug's laughter was still brewing in his throat. He was already killed by everyone and fell to the ground.
"By the way, Wu, go out and cheer up the soldiers." Dhruv suddenly turned around and said to me.
"Cheer up?"
"Yes, everyone has never experienced such a big war, and they will definitely be a little nervous to some extent. At this time, isn't it the time for you, as the hero of Vitas Village, to come out to cheer everyone up?" Dhruv said matter-of-factly.
"Haha. Wu. You have become an inflatable tool." Doug, the ruffian, laughed without any master image, and was knocked to the ground again by everyone in an instant.
Doug, thank you for not reminding me of the word blow-up doll. I was pushed out of the tent by everyone with some tears in my eyes.
…
There was a heavy atmosphere in the sky above Vitas Village, and adventurers in twos and threes were leaning against each other. But they didn't talk as loudly as before. Some took out their weapons and kept wiping them with rags. Some stared blankly into the distance, either at the monsters in the northwest or the Rogge camp in the east, with all kinds of expressions in their eyes. Such feelings, if there is a photographer here, this scene is definitely a good material, as for the name of the material. What should it be called?
war? miss? pray? Or is it hesitation?
I didn't attract the attention of these brooding adventurers. While I was relieved, I was also slightly worried. The current morale does not seem to be very good. What should I do? Could it be like the Red Guards? Stand on a high platform, raise your fist, and cheer everyone loudly? It's embarrassing just thinking about it. This kind of top leadership skill is simply beyond my ability to master at my current level.
Just when I was feeling worried, I accidentally spotted a few distinctive figures in my eyes.
What a young adventurer.
My current age is already young enough among adventurers, which is one of the reasons why I always wear a cloak and hat. Linya belongs to the treasure level, and the female archer in front of me looks amazing. A little younger than Linya, about 16 or 7 years old, she has long black hair, tied into a long ponytail, and then coiled around her neck. Her delicate face gives people a childish look. Feeling, she leaned under a tree and gently wiped the wooden bow in her hand, her eyes shining with a more determined light than those of high-level adventurers.
Whether it was her age or the look in her eyes that didn't match it, I was very curious. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but step forward.
She was very alert. Although I didn't step lightly on purpose, when she was concentrating, she could still hear the sound of approaching footsteps ten meters away. This alone made me evaluate her several points higher.
"Sir!" Before I could say anything, the girl had already said "swipe" and stood up straight. With bright eyes, a flawless demeanor, and clean and neat movements, one could tell at a glance that she was a person with a serious personality. A girl with a rigorous attitude gives people the first impression that she is a careful and reliable type.
"No need to be formal."
I motioned for her to sit down, but I smiled bitterly in my heart. Both of them were like this. Why did I feel more and more like an old man in my cloak?
"kindness……"
In order to make her relax, I first sat down next to a large wooden cart under the tree, and then leaned comfortably on the wheels of the wooden cart, but suddenly I found that I didn't know what to say.
"Have we met before?" I said casually in order to break the silence. As soon as I finished speaking, I wanted to slap myself. Isn't this one of the top ten classic and vulgar pick-up lines?
"Yes, I didn't expect that you would still remember me. I was fortunate enough to listen to your lessons in the training camp at Camp Rogge."
This childish and beautiful girl is wearing a very ordinary close-fitting leather armor, which looks very decent and natural on her body. She is sitting cross-legged in the same place just now, her expression and movements are all serious. Such a character is so beautiful. In the original world, she would definitely be a teacher's assistant or student council president. Judging from her age, it is hard to imagine that her character would be so dignified and calm.
However, when she spoke, there was a slight flush of excitement on her face, which still made me feel a little proud - to be admired by a girl with this kind of personality was something I had never thought about. .
"Can I take the liberty of asking you about your occupation and age?" Sensing her childlike aura, I couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, sir. I am Elura, the Rogue Archer. I am 16 years old. I was promoted to a mercenary just a few days ago." She replied forcefully.
"I just got promoted, does that mean I am a level 1 mercenary?" I frowned. Of course, I didn't look down on her.
"Didn't Master Akara say that novices don't need to participate in this battle?" This battle is no different than before, in order to reduce unnecessary losses. These have just been promoted. A dish with no combat experience yet
"Please forgive me." After all, it was because of her young age that she had a panicked look on her face, but her eyes were still so firm.
"However, I have a reason to join the war. Vitas Village is my hometown, my father, and my mother. All my family members are here. As a soldier, I really can't ignore it. I beg you to help me. Let’s face it, I will fight even if it means death.”
I looked at this strong girl silently and sighed. Even if I escorted her back now, she would still sneak over and it would be more dangerous.
"With your current strength, you will die." I said to her in as cold a tone as possible.
"This is my honor." She held the wooden bow in her hand tightly and looked at me firmly, with a calm determination in her eyes.
It’s great to be young! ! ah. Wait, why would this sentence come out of my mouth when I am less than 24 years old?
"It's amazing. Okay, I admit your determination, but you have to promise me to protect yourself well, otherwise, even if the village is saved, your relatives will not be happy."
"Yes, it is!!"
Allura finally showed the smile she deserved. Haha, this is so ridiculous. It is so inappropriate for a young boss to have such a face, but her own one is quite interesting. Is it a custom?
"Besides, is there anything else I can do to help? Just bring it up, brave warrior lady." In order to show respect, I took off my hat and said to her with a smile, in the dark world , if a person of higher status takes off his hat when talking to you, it is a sign of respect.
"Where...where?" Elula's fair little face showed a slight green flush.
"No, this is the compliment you earned. Well...is there something on my face?" I found that Elula had been staring at me intentionally or unintentionally, and couldn't help but touch her face.
"No...there is no such thing, it's just...I didn't expect you to be...so young." Elura turned her head away slightly and said embarrassedly,
"..."
Sure enough, my image in the minds of other adventurers must have seriously aged. Elula's rare shy expression gave me a fatal blow.
"Well, sir, if you don't mind, could you continue to explain your experience to me?"
After the atmosphere was silent for a while, Ellu summoned up the courage to make a request to me who was silent, but actually was shocked and had turned pale.
At this time, do you still have to go to class? All right.
In less than a moment, I naturally transformed from the inflatable tool Doug described to a teacher who spreads spiritual food. Dhruv’s instructions have been completely forgotten by me. Well, I just lack that kind of talent anyway. Even if you don't forget, it won't be a big deal, right?
As time went by, one, two, three... I felt like people were constantly coming around me, but I was already in the mood and did not stop. After putting the hat back on with a slight discomfort, I turned up the volume. many.
When my experience came to an end, I don’t know when, the audience was already sitting around. They sat together with gusto, looked at me with expectant eyes, hoping that I could talk more, which made them never Experienced experience.
Seeing this, my heart moved, I raised my head and said to Elura in a serious and cold tone.
"This battle is more dangerous for you than my previous experience. As a level 1 mercenary, do you still have to force yourself?"
"Yes, sir, even if I shed the last drop of blood, as long as I can still hold this bow, I will fight to the end." Elura responded with a loud voice that was no less than mine.
"Everyone, what about you? Tell me your determination." I raised my hand vigorously, and my eyes under the cloak glanced firmly at the faces of the adventurers around me.
"Ouch... fight to the end, fight to the end..."
Seeing the firm belief exuding from Elura's childish face, these seasoned adventurers felt ashamed. Could it be that they were worse than a novice? At this time, under my stimulation, their bloodiness also burst out. .
"Very well, warriors, polish your weapons carefully and use the heads of your enemies to prove your courage."
"Ouch...kill! Kill! Kill...!!"
In an instant, the entire Vitas Village was filled with a soaring aura. Even the terrified villagers who were hiding in their houses ran out with weapons such as hoes and hatchets, shouting uncontrollably.
Very good, the mission is completed, you will gain some gold coins, experience and reputation, and you will be able to avoid others first.
Taking advantage of the excitement of the crowd, I ran out secretly. Having said that, why am I the only one who can't get excited? Am I really past this age? No way! ! ! ! ! !
"grown ups!"
Suddenly, a childish voice came from behind.
Looking back, it turned out to be Elura. I don't know whether it was because she was affected by the atmosphere just now, or she was busy catching up. At this time, her pretty face was as red as a big apple.
"Just now, thank you very much."
She bowed to me, huh? She was such a stubborn girl that she chased her over such a trivial matter.
"It's okay, I want to thank you too!" Thanks to him, everyone's morale can be revived.
"Huh? Thank you personally...?!" She looked at me a little doubtfully.
"Nothing, um, that's right." I looked at the wooden bow she was holding tightly in her hand, and with a thought, I took out a whiteboard short bow.
"This is a reward from your superiors. Although it's not a good thing, just make do with it." I was afraid that this serious girl would not accept it, so I deliberately used the name of my superiors and said in a tone that could not be refused.
"Reward?" One strange question after another made Elura a little confused.
"Remember what I said, for the sake of your loved ones, you must protect yourself. This is a new task assigned to you by your superiors, and it is also a task for everyone..."
The sound gradually faded away, and Elura stared blankly at the short bow in her hand. The power of the equipment was indeed more than a hundred times stronger than her harmless wooden bow.
"I love Lula, and I hereby swear that I will always follow in your footsteps without fear!" She covered her chest and said silently in her heart. Then, a mercenary team called the Brilliant Followers came soon. Established...
