Chapter 72 - into town
Never get bored in a wilderness trip.
Especially when nothing special happens.
Don’t whine when you’re bored, just be patient and keep walking towards the destination.
Nothing happens. For the adventurer who travels, there is nothing better.
Because emergencies in the wild always mean trouble and possibly death!
Just like what happened not far from Twilight Town at this time.
On the open road, the three of Thorne were quickly running towards the south gate of Twilight Town.
And not far behind them, a group of kobolds and goblins, driven by gnolls, loomed.
bump!
The gnoll warrior brutally waved his mace and smashed it down.
Suddenly, a goblin who was trying to escape from the right side of the road struggled and lay on the ground motionless, because its small head was like a rotten watermelon that fell to the ground, and it was torn apart.
Ow! ! !
The gnoll warrior licked the red and white residue on the mace, and roared angrily.
A look of fear flashed in the eyes of the kobolds and goblin slaves who were driven out in front. They raised their weapons and chased after Thorne and the three who were fleeing in the distance.
“Put down the drawbridge, let’s go in! The gnolls are coming right now.” Trundle the troll yelled at the two guards on the wall of Twilight Town.
His back was covered with dense arrows. The powerful recovery ability of the troll race allowed these arrows to heal quickly before they were pulled out, as if they had grown by themselves.
At this point he looked like a funny porcupine with a troll head and limbs.
Thorne held a long sword, looked at the moat blocking the front more than four meters wide, and turned to glance at the large number of kobolds, goblins and gnolls who were desperately chasing them, frowning slightly.
Things in the wilderness always happen unexpectedly. When the three of them were approaching Twilight Town with a happy mood, they suddenly encountered a gnoll team wandering nearby.
The purpose of the gnolls wandering here is very clear, to capture goblins and kobolds as food or as cannon fodder when attacking Twilight Town.
Unexpected encounters between the two sides are naturally inevitable, but there are too many gnolls and goblin kobolds.
With just the three of them, they couldn’t kill them at all.
So he quickly rushed out of the encirclement and rushed to the approaching Twilight Town.
“The north gate of Twilight Town is resisting the attack of the gnolls. Without the order of the lord, the gate should not be opened without authorization.”
A guard in animal-skin armor stuck his head out from above, responding to the troll Trundle.
After finishing speaking, the guard noticed a large group of dark shadows in the distance, and immediately said to another guard beside him:
“Go and report to the lord, there is a large group of gnolls and kobold goblins at the south gate.”
“It seems that I can only protect myself.” Thorne heard the words, sheathed his sword, and said solemnly.
If it was just him, the pursuers behind him would have been flung away by him long ago, so naturally there is no need to be so troublesome.
From what the guard said, the north gate of Twilight Town was being attacked by gnolls at this time, and three strangers and a large number of gnolls appeared at the south gate at this time.
If he was given a choice, he would naturally not open the city gates foolishly, and the three of them could only be blamed for not being here at the right time.
Then he turned to Andrina and said, “Can you jump over this moat?”
Andrina was stunned for a moment, and nodded when she saw the piranhas beating in the moat.
Then, with a flick of the staff, a spell of Leap was blessed on the body.
“What about you?” Thorne looked at Trundle.
“Just barely.” Trundle’s eyelids jumped and he said.
“Then jump over quickly, this moat can stop their attack, and then I will go up and open the city gate.” Thorne said immediately.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The three figures jumped violently, crossed the moat in an instant, and jumped to the opposite bank.
Only Trundle accidentally dropped one foot into the water due to his lack of strength. When he endured the severe pain and pulled it up, a large piece of flesh and blood on his leg had been eaten by the piranha, and the bite wound was shocking.
“Little guy, help me hang this hook lock on the city wall.”
Thorne took out a rope from the dimension bag and said to Andrina’s shoulder.
“Go!”
Anderina looked at the little devil who had just appeared, her eyes turned cold, and she instructed.
Simba immediately grabbed the hook lock in Thorne’s hand obediently, flapping the little leather wings and quickly flew to the direction of the city wall.
“There aren’t many gnoll archers, you two resist first, and I’ll go up and open the door.” Thorne said as he tried the strength of the rope in his hand.
Then Thorne paused again and said, “If you can’t resist it, just use the teleportation scroll to escape, and then I will find a way to find you.”
Immediately afterward, he climbed to the top of the city wall.
Ow! ! !
The leading gnoll saw the three people on the other side of the moat, roared, and commanded the goblins and kobolds behind him.
The kobolds and goblins began to pick up stones and debris from the ground and smashed them in Andrina’s direction.
At the same time, other gnolls also took out long-range weapons to shoot.
Ding Ding Ding!
Feeling the weakened protective force field, Andrina waved her staff, and a dark red fireball the size of a washbasin appeared in front of her, reflecting her pretty face red.
Then Andrina’s staff pointed lightly, and the dark red fireball smashed into the crowd of jackals with a hot whistling sound.
– “Three-ring spell: Fireball!”
Boom!
Violent explosions and high-temperature flames raged, instantly clearing a vacuum on the other side.
Clang!
Thorne, who climbed to the city wall, drew out his long sword, and instantly put the long sword across the guard’s neck and said coldly, “Hurry up and open the city gate.”
“You’re crazy! There are so many gnolls outside, and now the town’s guards are all in the north, who will resist them when they enter the town.” The guard hesitated for a moment, then quickly retorted.
“Open the city gate first and put the suspension bridge in half, it is impossible for all the gnolls to break in.” Thorne felt that the guard’s brain was not enough, and immediately explained.
“No! I can’t bear such consequences.” The guarded player opened his arms and blocked his entire body in front of the gates of the city gate and drawbridge, unmoved.
“I will bear the consequences. I know your lord Sarayan, and I will explain to him when the time comes.” Thorne said, holding back the anger in his heart.
“The whole of Twilight Town knows Lord Sarayan, and the devil knows what you say is true or false.”
bump!
“Long-winded!” Thorne glanced at it. A few gnolls on the ground were eager to jump over, frowning, and kicked the guarded players away.
The reason why he didn’t want to do anything was because he didn’t want to have bad relations with the people in Twilight Town. After all, it was on the other side’s territory, but the guard player was very stubborn, and so could Thorne.
Squeak!
Rumble!
As the suspension bridge slowly fell, the gate gradually cracked a gap.
“Come in quickly!”
Thorne controlled the gate and shouted at Andrina below.
——“Half-dragon transformation!”
– “Fire Breath!”
Andrina’s long hair was flying, and the strong breath all over her body burst out instantly, followed by a surging flame dragon breath.
The burning dragon flame directly drowned the gnolls who crossed the moat into the sea of fire.
Then he followed Trundle’s footsteps and jumped gently, jumped into the falling suspension bridge, and entered the town along the gap of the city gate.
Seeing that the two had entered the town safely, Thorne breathed a sigh of relief, immediately turned the gate valve, and slowly closed the drawbridge and the city gate again, leaving only a group of angry roaring gnolls on the ground.
“You dare to break into the city wall of Twilight Town, take it down for me!” A cold shout came from behind Thorne.
As soon as the voice fell, there was a burst of rapid footsteps, and a dozen well-equipped warriors with sharp blades surrounded Thorne.
