"Are you sure you didn't miss anything? If not, let's go." Erica took the lead in walking out of the hotel door with Aurora, who fell asleep in the middle of breakfast because she stayed up late, and then everyone took their luggage with them.

Followed out.

Serenir, who was supposed to be with Cana on the road, quietly followed Erica for some reason. She carefully grabbed Erica's combat uniform and followed behind her silently. Erica lowered her head.

He glanced at her, and the person whose eyes met, Serenir, hid behind Erica like a frightened little animal, but his hand still grabbed the corner of Erica's clothes and did not let go.

To be honest, Erica didn't pay much attention to Serenir after she came because she was a little worried about her when she first heard that she was a dragon. She had seen a giant blue dragon passing above her head before.

The shock it brought is still fresh in Erica's memory. Although Selenir was still young, he was still a dragon, so Erica took the initiative to keep a distance from him from the beginning.

People's views on beasts are often linked to their size and type. The larger the beasts, the more wary they are, while the younger the beasts, the smaller the beasts. However, this is only for ordinary animals.

Well, although Erica has not been exposed to too many animals, at least she likes to watch animal programs on TV occasionally. In short, she agrees with this view, but if this view is put on the giant dragon

That may be a little uncomfortable to say. After all, the size of a creature like a giant dragon is there, and it is also a being with high intelligence and extraordinary power. It is no exaggeration to say that the giant dragon in this world is

Dragons can definitely be regarded as fixed-point existences of living things.

So based on the above judgment, Erica didn't think she could get along well with Selenir when she first met her. After all, for example, it does seem normal for a human to keep a dog, but on the other hand, it makes

It’s incredible for a dog to raise a human. At least that’s how Erica initially judged Selenir. Anyway, she didn’t think that the dragon’s cubs would be as cuddly as kittens and puppies.

.

However, these thoughts are basically "past tense". This morning, Ruby suggested that Erica and Thrannier have more contact. It seemed that Thrannier's situation seemed to have happened after this morning.

What a change. According to Ruby's description, dragon cubs develop very quickly. Today's Serenir is already at a different level of maturity than she was yesterday. Maybe she used "yesterday was still a newborn."

"The baby is one year old today" is a more appropriate metaphor. In short, although it is not as exaggerated as becoming an adult overnight, Selenir did seem smarter this morning than yesterday, so Ruby suggested that Erica and Selenir must be

Lanier needs some close contact.

After all, strictly speaking, Serenir was sent to Erica by Severna... as a follower, well, at least that was the explanation on the surface. The reason why Serenir was always following Ruby was because

Ruby requested it on her own initiative. After all, she heard that Serenir had just been born and needed someone who knew her well to take care of her. During the period before Cana came back, Ruby, who was also a "magical creature", took care of the younger child.

Serenir is indeed more suitable than Erica. To say the least, it is more appropriate to let Diana, who has recently had a maternal outburst, take care of her than Erica. Another point is that Serenir still can't say a word.

Complete words, so even if Erica wanted to contact her, it seemed that she could not communicate effectively with her. At the same time, Erica actually did not have the patience to imitate Diana and teach Thrannier how to speak word by word.

Recalling yesterday's battle at Ronan Castle, in the last battle, Erica and others were pulled down by Ruby into a weird and magical space, where Erica had the unfortunate experience of

In Serenir's dragon form, although she only accidentally caught a glimpse of it before being teleported away from the mysterious space by Ruby, Serenir's majestic and tall figure still caused a lot of trouble for Erica.

The visual impact. So yesterday, Erica always avoided Selenir intentionally or unintentionally, for fear that she would accidentally use her huge claws to smash herself into a pulp.

In fact, even in the short moment when she held Selenir and fed her this morning, Erica only looked very calm on the outside, but in fact she was nervous and a bit restless inside. Fortunately, she was sitting there at that time.

The opposite Serenir did not have the weight to match his tall body like a mountain, and although Serenir's human form looked to be two years older than Ruby, he was much lighter than Ruby.

, and her intelligence is not as mature as Ruby's, so after some simple contact, Erica gradually let go of her uneasy guard and tried to treat her as a real child.

After all, she had the experience of taking care of young sisters in a monastery before, so Erica was somewhat comfortable in this aspect. However, Erica had no idea that she would be completely attracted to her just by taking care of her for one meal.

With Threnir's attention, the dragon cub, who could cause earthquakes when he walked, immediately became attached to Erica, his new nanny.

Although Erica had let down her guard against Serenir at the moment, she was still a little wary of this little guy after all. So after Serenir got attached to him, Erica planned to ask Ruby who was walking behind for help. But

Surprisingly, Ruby has been unusually lazy since this morning. From the time she got up until now, she has never left Cana's arms to walk. She even lazily needs Cana's feeding when eating. She always feels that she is beyond lazy.

It is more like giving up the mode of self-reliance completely. Just like now, when Erica looked back to look for her, she found Ruby lying in Cana's arms with her eyes closed and concentrating, continuing to enjoy the warm sunshine in the morning, and even

While Carna was walking with her in his arms, he would take out a gummy from his pocket and stuff it into Ruby's mouth from time to time.

In short, Ruby seems to be out of luck, because she has never opened her eyes since she came out. Even when eating snacks, she closes her eyes and lets Cana feed it to her mouth. This can no longer be described as lazy. Ruby

If no help was found, Erica had no choice but to seek help from Diana, so Erica decisively looked at Diana, who was walking side by side with her.

Sure enough, Diana was still the best. When Erica turned her attention to her, Diana decisively turned around and bent down to pick up Threnir, who was following Erica. But then Diana sped up.

She walked quickly towards the city gate while holding Selenir who was lying on her shoulders reluctantly. It seemed that she was not in a good mood, but Erica could also understand that it was so early in the morning.

She was called out by Hex without having a good breakfast. She probably thought that this meticulous goddess in her impression had something important to give her, but in the end, she saw Hex complaining to Erica about her bad idea.

, this is indeed a very annoying problem. So before, Diana returned to the hotel early and had a big meal with an appetite, and until now she has not taken the initiative to talk to Erica.

Erica wanted to catch up and have a chat with her, but the problem was that Diana walked very quickly, and there was a sleeping Aurora beside Erica, so they didn't wait until everyone reached the city.

Erica didn't catch up with Diana when they were at the door. She could only stare at Threnir, who was still lying on her shoulder, looking at her with a longing expression.

The city guard gates at the city gate are still closed under martial law, but for some reason the number seems to be less than before. This is not because the city guards have been transferred away, but because there are more city guards standing guard on the rear city wall.

Went there, and many bustling voices could be heard outside the city gate. Erica saw Diana arguing with the city guard leader near the city gate from a distance. Although she didn’t know what happened,

But before Erica arrived quickly, the city guard leader seemed to have finally led Diana to the small door on one side of the city gate, and then quickly opened the side door to let Diana go under the vigilance of many guards.

go out.

Erica wanted to catch up with Diana before the city guard opened the side door for her, but because she started hugging Aurora, who was completely asleep, she couldn't speed up, so she could only watch Diana do what she was doing.

Out of the city gate. But surprisingly, Diana stopped and stood motionless at the city gate after walking out of the city gate. It was just before the city guard leader closed the side door that Erica

I also saw crowds of people standing outside the city gate trying to crowd into the city.

Although what Erica saw was not detailed, she could also see that the people outside the city seemed to be in a state of embarrassment. There was no doubt that they were refugees who had escaped from the Earldom of Ronan. There were a large number of these refugees.

, Judging from the moment when the door just opened and the bustling sounds outside the city, there may be hundreds or nearly a thousand people, and from the subtle cries of children mixed in with the chaotic noise, it can be judged that they must be dragging their families.

There were civilians in the crowd, and Erica also saw that they all carried various weapons in their hands, and many of them had blood-like stains on their bodies.

It seems that the city guards have also noticed this, and they probably also discovered that the mental state of this group of people seems to be unstable, so it seems reasonable to refuse to let the refugees into the city, even the refugees outside.

Even shouting that they could double or triple the city entry tax did not get the city guards to open the city gate.

Erica, who was unexpectedly blocked at the city gate, and everyone thought they would be involved in this unnecessary disaster. At the same time, Erica also understood why Diana had argued with the city guard leader before. It seemed that that person was talking to someone.

The leader of the city guard looked like a ruthless soldier and was quite dedicated to his duties. His unwillingness to let Diana go out was indeed correct according to ordinary people's judgment. But Diana was not an ordinary person. Perhaps it was the leader of the city guard who saw her.

She was an elf, so she finally allowed her request to leave the city. And at the moment when the side door was closed, several beams of lightning suddenly fell from the sky, which confirmed Erica's previous judgment.

After a few thunders, no matter whether it was outside the city or inside the city, apart from the footsteps of Erica and her group and the subtle cries of children outside the city, no other sound was heard until Erica walked to the side door and took a picture.

After waking up the stunned city guard leader, she heard the sound of people's panicked footsteps coming from behind the door panel.

The city guard leader opened the side door in panic, and before he could take the initiative to peek out, Erica walked out of the city with Aurora, who was still awake, and the group of people behind them except for Ruby in her arms

Everyone except Cana also took the initiative to take out their weapons and put themselves on alert before following Erica out of the side door and outside the city.

But this time, when everyone came out, the leader still quickly closed the side door. But at this time, the city had nothing to do with Erica and the others. Everyone's purpose was to park a hundred meters away from the city gate.

That GAZ armored vehicle needs to pedal and slam on the accelerator to head north to get out of this terrible place.

Erica carried Aurora to Diana, who was using magic to intimidate the refugees, and then reached out and pulled her arm to ask her to follow her to the armored vehicle. Diana obeyed Erica's instructions.

demanded, and once again used scary lightning magic to open a path among the refugees, then lowered her head and followed everyone away from the city gate. And when Erica was walking among the refugees, she accidentally saw Pa

Fei stayed where she was, staring at a few dodging refugees, but she didn't say anything. Under Liz's shout, she quickly kept up with everyone and walked away from the refugee group towards the armored vehicle.

.

Erica could see who those refugees were. They were the survivors that Puffy had rescued yesterday. But after leaving them where they were yesterday, everyone left. After all, what they were going to do next was

But it's not something that people like to see, and Erica doesn't intend to let Puffy see that crazy scene. Seeing those refugees again today, I'm afraid even Puffy, who is not very experienced in the world, can probably see it in their eyes.

She could see the answer, but fortunately, Puffy chose to turn around and walk away in the end, so whether she still cared about that matter or not, she finally cleared the relationship. After all, she should know that she is not a "Mother of the Redeemer", but as a

For elves who have been deeply hurt by humans, the best choice is to actively keep a certain distance from humans until the wounds heal.

"Not all humans will be like Liz..." Erica deliberately walked slowly and said softly when Puffy was approaching.

But she didn't wait for Puffy's response, instead she quickened her pace and ran towards the armored vehicle. It wasn't that she deliberately wanted to show off, but that when she was mid-sentence, she saw a few ghosts next to the vehicle in the distance.

Sneaky refugees were smashing the windows of the armored vehicle with rocks, and there was also a guy who climbed onto the roof of the vehicle and was playing with the machine gun on the top.

Erica was very angry when she saw this. When she walked to Agnes, she threw the sleeping Avora to the other party, and then rushed over with the SVT-40. These refugees were obviously early

I noticed the presence of Erica and her group. After all, Diana's thunder magic was quite loud before, but after seeing Erica rushing over quickly, they didn't even plan to run away. It seemed that they thought Erica was

The group of people were all women, so they felt easy to bully, so a few strong guys picked up weapons and walked towards Erica.

But Erica did not intend to waste time with them. Instead, she directly shot and killed a refugee who was hiding in the nearby grass and trying to shoot an arrow at her. After seeing the tragedy of the sudden death of her companion, the other refugees who were hiding in the grass

The refugees also hurriedly got out and started attacking Erica and the others with various broken weapons.

However, the ambush of these thugs was completely meaningless. On the contrary, a few fast-legged guys decisively chose to run away after seeing the constant deaths of their accomplices. However, the direction they ran towards was near the city wall of the small town of Taina.

Rika didn't know why they were running there, but at this moment she was unwilling to continue wasting bullets. After confirming that there were no thugs still standing around, she quickly checked the safety of the armored vehicle, and then drove everyone away.

The edge of the city rushes towards the nearby avenue.

The thugs who ran away watched Erica and her group leave in the tin box from a distance before they dared to get out of the moat somewhere on the city wall. However, after seeing the dead and injured everywhere from a distance,

They still didn't dare to go there. After all, these people were not real accomplices. They were just a group of gangsters who had just gotten together among the refugees. One of the guys with a somewhat bald head emerged from the moat and hid.

After arriving at the nearby river beach and observing for a long time, he finally decided to turn back and discuss with the remaining accomplices what to do next. But when he turned around, he unexpectedly found that the few accomplices who were following him had disappeared.

They disappeared, and looking back at the turbid moat water behind them, there seemed to be some unnatural ripples and there were no other signs to indicate where the accomplices had just gone.

For some reason, the bald gangster felt that his back was a little cold. He hunched over and quietly walked back to the edge of the river. He looked left and right along the river but found no trace of his other companions. In panic, the gangster's

He seemed to be getting more and more uneasy, and just when he was about to tiptoe away from the strange moat, he suddenly saw a pool of scarlet blood floating in the river in front of him.

The gangster suddenly felt as if his courage was about to be shattered by fright, but even though he was at the peak of fear at this moment, he still did not dare to make any movement. He could only turn around and run away, but unfortunately, he did not wait for a few seconds before he ran out.

When he was walking far away, he accidentally tripped over something under his feet and fell to the ground. The severe pain and the brief suffocation caused by the impact almost made him lose consciousness, and even his mouth was broken because he landed directly on his face.

Many of his teeth were broken. Holding back the pain with his mouth full of blood, the gangster finally decided to shout for help. Although his friends in the distance suffered heavy casualties, at least there were still many people, and they might have weapons.

Can you call any conscientious guy to come over and save you?

But just when the gangster was about to open his mouth, a violent tug directly dragged him into the moat, and with a burst of bloody bubbles rising from the dirty moat, the entire moat once again
