Chapter 34 The Guards in the Woods

Meanwhile, in the woods on the left side of the Narant team, a figure was hiding behind a big tree and peeking at them through the weeds.

"Damn it, I was discovered! I have to go back and report quickly!" The figure observed the actions of Narant and others, knowing that he was likely to be discovered.

He was also very alert and began to slowly move backwards, trying to prevent himself from making any noise.

Buzzing!

At this moment, several bees flew over his head, but did not attract his attention. It was normal for mosquitoes and ants to fly in the jungle.

When the bee buzzing disappeared, the man had retreated more than ten meters. When he turned around and was about to escape to the southwest, the sound of breaking through the air suddenly came from his ears.

Whoosh!

puff!

"Ah! My legs!" With a scream, the man immediately fell to the ground and started to wail in pain. An arrow was inserted into his thigh.

...

"Quick, come and catch him!" Listening to the screams in the woods, Nalant ordered.

Soon, Quick and the guards pulled out the people in the woods.

"Who are you? Why did you break into the Storm Corps!" Narant's brow frowned when he was brought to him.

This man was actually fully armed, with a lot of long swords and leather armor on his body, which was not something that ordinary civilians or thieves could have.

This world is very poor. Many times, some Lord Knights' subordinates cannot afford leather armor and long swords. There are many people who use hoes and wooden forks to go to the battlefield.

"This master, I am Baron Quent's guard. I accidentally got lost and broke into here. Please let me go back. Baron Quent will definitely pay you."

Because of the pain, cold sweat had already emerged from the man's forehead. He heard this and immediately begged to Narant.

"Lost?"

Narant heard the expressionless behind him, but turned around and said to Quick: "Quick, I'll leave it to you!"

This would be OK if I deceived a three-year-old child, but I couldn't deceive Narant.

If you really get lost, then this person should have run out early to report his identity when he sees him. After all, it is just a mistake and it is not a big deal.

But he monitored his group for several minutes, and after being discovered, he was even more ready to go deep into the woods. If there was no ghost in his heart, no one would believe it.

Since he refused to tell the truth, Nalant didn't mind using some means.

In addition, seeing this guard, Narant had a lot of speculation in his mind. The disappearance of the serfs some time ago may not be the cause of the monster.

"Yes, sir!" Quick smiled at the man when he heard this, and then dragged him to the woods beside him. Soon, a few wails came from the forest.

The wailing lasted not long, and Quick ran out hurriedly.

"Sir, he has called him. He is indeed the guards of Baron Gent, but he did not come here because he was lost, but was sent here to watch, because in the buffer zone not far ahead, there was a newly built camp led by Baron Gent!"

After pausing, Quick continued: "He also confessed that the serfs who disappeared some time ago were not taken away by monsters, but were kidnapped by them!"

"As it turns out, what does this bastard Kunte want to do?" Narant's speculation was verified. He did not expect that the Baron Kunte was so brave that he reached his hand on the Storm Collar, which could cause a dispute between the Tulip Collar and the Black Iron Ridge.

Moreover, now that the Storm Leadership belongs to him, Narant does not allow outsiders to do anything wrong in his territory.

“Did he say what the camp in the buffer belt is built for?”

"Sir, he only said that there was a yellow elf in it! I don't know anything else!"

"Yellow Elf? Wouldn't that mean mine?" Narant was shocked. The yellow Elf is the most precious existence among all the elves. Even if you open a salt mine, you can still make a fortune.

"Ding! The Storm Corps is your territory. Baron Gent sent someone to move on your territory, which has harmed your interests!"

"System side mission: Find out the location of the camp!"

“Task Reward: New Variety of Plants!”

At this moment, a long-lost system sound came from Narant's mind.

"Well, the system finally moved, but the reward is a new variety of plants?"

Narant didn't think much about it. He must have to investigate, so he asked Quak, "Where is the direction of that camp?"

"Sir, it's in the border buffer zone three miles ahead!"

"Okay, let's go and investigate! Leave two guards to tie him to the tree and look forward to it!" Narant ordered quickly!

"Yes, sir!"

Soon, the team started to move forward, and after more than ten minutes, they reached the border three miles away!.

However, on this border, Narant did not see the camp because the nearby roads were densely packed with tree ages, and only a border stone weighing thousands of pounds stood in front, with the six big words "Tulip Earl's Collar" engraved on it.

"The camp should be in this buffer zone wood!" Narant looked at the dense forest outside the border stone.

Buffer belt - as the name suggests, is a unmanned border zone reserved between the nobles and the territory of the nobles.

This is a product that evolved to avoid disputes between nobles.

In name, the buffer belt does not belong to both parties, but to the vassal king they are loyal to.

For example, the buffer belts of the tulip Count and the black iron Count belong to the king of the priest.

However, most buffer zones are narrow and long dividing lines about three kilometers wide, and the monarchs with ownership will not be able to truly manage and develop them.

At this time, the vassals will form a tacit understanding of the unspoken rule, that is, to divide the buffer zone into two and develop and utilize it in their respective half. The only requirement is that camps or troops cannot be built.

If violated, it is to destroy the unspoken rules.

"Sherley, let the bees explore the forest!" The reason why he could quickly find the spy of Gent before was because of Shirley's bees.

Narant discovered Shirley’s real purpose today. Before becoming a powerful beast trainer, she could be regarded as an excellent investigator.

"Okay, Lord Lord!" Shirley nodded excitedly, then muttered to several bees, and the bees buzzed into the air.

The buffer zone is full of dense forests. If you use manpower to find it, it will take a lot of time. But for bees, you can see it as long as you fly to a height of dozens of meters.

After only a few seconds passed, several bees flew back immediately.

"Sir, the bee tells me that there is a camp in the woods ahead!"

"Very good! Everyone keeps up! Let's go over and check it out now!"

Then, under the guidance of the little bee, Nalante and others walked into the woods.

After walking four or five minutes, it suddenly became clear ahead. The originally dense forest in the buffer zone had been cut down and replaced by a camp built with wooden stakes.

It is called a camp, but it can actually be called a simple fortress. The outer periphery of the fortress is a wooden wall surrounded by large wooden stakes five or six meters high.

Not only can people walk on the wooden walls, but there is also a towering arrow tower every ten meters. In each arrow tower, a long archer can be seen patrolling the police!

Dangdangdang!
