"It's me, Lord Marquis."
A burly hunter with a bow and crossbow stepped forward.Looking at the man, Owen asked, "Tell me, how did you find the lizardman?"
What do you see again?
”"Yes, Lord Marquis."
This hunter is a veteran of Frontier Town, and his hunting skills are well-known in hunter circles.This morning, he had wanted to go deep into the Mystery Forest to find prey, but only a veteran like him who was familiar with the forest would dare to do so.On the way deeper, the hunter keenly noticed that there were two lizard warriors in front of him, and decisively hid.They spear in hand as they pushed away the plants on both sides as they walked forward.Curious as to why the lizardfolk had run to the outskirts of the forest, the hunter didn't intend to figure it out, so he chose to avoid it and continued deeper into the forest.As a result, he saw a large group of lizardmen moving slowly along the path opened by the two lizardmen in front of him, and several lizardmen were guarding the surroundings, acting very cautiously.It is difficult for humans to tell the sex of the lizardmen, but their age can still be seen.The hunter noticed that there were quite a few lizard children in the moving lizard crowd.In addition, there are some injured lizardmen who are being carried by their compatriots.It was as if the entire lizard tribe had been forced to move to the outskirts of the forest.Realizing that something was wrong, the hunter decided to return immediately.After leaving the Mystery Forest, he reported his findings to the knight."
Wait, you said there are children and wounded people in the lizard crowd?"
After listening to the hunter's description, Owen grasped one of the important points and reconfirmed it to him."
Yes."
The hunter nodded, "They're protected in the middle of the lizard crowd, so the lizard crowd doesn't move fast overall. ”[Nine times out of ten, the original residence of this group of lizardmen was occupied by the same tribe or other sub-human races, and they were forced to make the decision to relocate the tribe. 】Winster guessed.
[I think so too.] 】After replying to Winster, Owen looked at the hunter again and asked, "What's your name?"
”"My name is Maddie, Lord Marquis.""
Maddie, you did a good job this time, I'll reward you when I go back."
Owen would not hesitate to reward those who had made meritorious contributions, as a way to encourage others to contribute to the Frontier Town.As soon as she heard that there was a reward, Maddie unabashedly showed a surprised expression and hurriedly saluted to express her gratitude."
Thank you, Lord Marquis."
Next, what should we do with this Lizardman incident?
Letting the hunters step aside first, Owen touched his chin and fell into thought.At this time, Viscount Jarvis came over and proposed, "Marquis Eisen, since they don't have many warriors who can fight, we should be able to easily annihilate them by gathering all the knights to attack.Assemble the knights now!
”"I agree with my father's proposal."
Marpel rarely took the same side as his father, and even Viscount Javis glanced at his daughter in surprise."
Why don't you send someone to inquire first?"
Teresa also stepped forward and expressed her opinion: "If the lizardmen only take a break here temporarily, they will leave on their own after a while.Then, send someone to stay nearby to keep an eye on them, there is no need to destroy them.Even if our side has a good chance of winning, the process of destruction will inevitably provoke strong resistance from the other side, and our knights will also suffer some casualties. ”"Lizardfolk are aliens after all, and the townspeople will always feel uneasy if they are left here."
Viscount Jarvis retorted.One side fights the main battle and exterminates the alien race, while the other side does not want to see casualties.There is some truth on both sides, and it depends on how Owen chooses.Winster, on the other hand, just listened quietly and did not speak.Of course, he can make some suggestions, but this is mainly the other party's business, Owen and they can handle it on their own, so there is no need to interfere too much.Honestly provide some scientific and technological help, witness the rapid development of Frontier Town, and what kind of storm will this town eventually set off in this world?
That's what Winster wanted to see, a world dominated by magic with a town dominated by technology suddenly popping up, and it's interesting to think about."
I want to recruit all the warriors among the lizardmen, and put all this combat power into the northern city wall, and fight the undead monsters together."
While everyone was arguing, Owen suddenly said something that surprised everyone."
Wait!
Marquis of Eisen. ”Viscount Jarvis was so shocked that his blindfold was about to fall off, but he didn't expect Owen to even want to use the power of the Asian race."
It's enough for us to fight against the undead, and we don't have to rely on the power of the lizardmen.""
The more power to block the undead monsters, the better, I don't care if this power comes from the subhuman race.Whenever I can get it, I'll do it myself. ”Seeing Owen's imminent appearance, Viscount Jarvis suddenly had a bad premonition."
Marquis Eisen, do you want to go and make contact with the lizardmen yourself?""
That's right."
Knowing that there would be objections, Owen then explained: "Don't worry, we already know that the lizardmen don't want to engage in armed conflict with us, and I don't have any malice to contact them, so there will be no danger." ”After that, it's a busy meal, and even if you know that the probability of danger is low, you have to be prepared.Fanny, who was showing off her strength in front, was called back.Owen was also surprised to learn that he was going to talk to the lizardmen of the forest.After consideration, Fanny was also placed in the protection queue.If something happens, she can immediately unleash a wall of fire between Owen and the lizardmen, blocking each other's tracks and allowing us to retreat safely.Although Owen can do this magic too, it takes time to cast it.Fanny will drive her magic to prepare her magic in advance, and cast it directly when needed.You can't let Owen talk to the lizardmen while he is always ready for magic.It's going to be tiring, and you might be noticed by the other person.Ready, Owen was escorted by a group of people and walked towards the area occupied by the lizardmen.At the entrance of the Mystery Forest ahead, the two lizardmen who were in charge of standing guard also noticed the actions of the opposite side and immediately became vigilant.Upon approaching, Winster could clearly see that the lizardman looked exactly like a standing lizard.They have large white scales from their jaws, chest, and the base of their tails, and the rest of them are dark green tooth-like scales, and they are covered in animal skins, and they wear necklaces made of animal teeth, and they hold a spear in their hands.When the two sides approached a certain distance, the two lizardmen swung their spears at the same time, pointing at Owen and them."
Don't go any further!
Mankind. ”One of the lizardmen opened his mouth to warn.Owen stopped in time and looked directly at the two lizardmen in front of him, looking calm."
Call your leader out, I want to talk to him."
