"Where are we now?" DeWitt asked Cremont breathlessly, looking around at the landscape.

"Gilbert took us on a shortcut, probably halfway there." Clemmont replied, looking at the map.

"So fast?" DeWitt was a little surprised.

Clemmont reluctantly said: "In order to keep up with his pace, we also improved a big distance. ”

"Thanks to his leadership, we've come most of the way today. Otherwise, if he keeps taking him like this, the soldiers' physical strength will not be able to keep up. Devitt took a deep breath and said.

"Hmm." Cremont nodded: "But after the rest just now, I didn't see Gilbert much, what about the others?" ”

"I guess I'll be back with Austinger." DeWitt speculated.

Sure enough, after a while, Austinger walked into their field of vision with Cremont.

Austinger was helping everyone set up their tents, while Gilbert quietly followed him.

"Go and sit and rest in the shade." Austinger said to Gilbert.

Gilbert shook his head without a wave.

This is the third time Austinger has persuaded him to go back to rest, but it has ended in failure.

"Yo!" A tall, muscular soldier walked up to the two and greeted them with a clear expression, "Gilbert." ”

Gilbert glanced up at him, and looked away without saying anything.

"My name is Brian. He is the captain of the fifth squad in this army. Undeterred, the soldier introduced himself: "You ran fast today." As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand to touch the top of Gilbert's head.

Gilbert took a step back, avoiding his gesture. Gave him a cold look.

Brian withdrew his hand smugly and smiled awkwardly, "I'm sorry, I offended." ”

Seeing this, Austinger quickly protected Gilbert behind him, smiled and said, "Captain Brian, I'm sorry." This little guy is a bit of a recognizant. Don't care. ”

"Of course not." Brian looked up and said, "I'm just trying to get to know him, get to know him." After all, he did a great job today. ”

"Haha." Austinger laughed, "He'll follow us until we get back to our hometown." People who often meet, how can there be a reason not to be familiar with each other. ”

"You're right, I'll come back often in the future to see him." Brian nodded. After smiling and waving hello to Gilbert, he returned to his team.

"I don't want to know him." A small voice came from behind Austinger.

Austinger breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and crouched down to Gilbert and carefully admonished, "In the human world, whether you like it or not, it's important to be polite. In the future, when people come to talk to you, you can't keep a straight face like you do today. ”

"Hmm." Gilbert stared into Austinger's eyes for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

"Really sensible." Austinger's face raised a smile again: "If you smile at others, they will smile at you and will not embarrass you." Isn't that great? ”

Gilbert pursed his lips and said nothing.

The tent was quickly set up, because Gilbert had been running too hard when he was leading the way today, so by the time everyone had sorted out and settled, it was already late. In order to prepare dinner, the back kitchen stayed in front of the stove at the back of the camp and did not show up.

There was little smoke in the cooking, and the soldiers ate their dinner at ten o'clock in the evening.

"It's great that I didn't meet the snake girl when I crossed this plateau this time." Cremont took a sip of the soup from the bowl and said to Able.

"What? Are you afraid of them? Able asked with a smile.

"It's not scared, but the thought of them gives me goosebumps on my arm." Clemmont saved his arm and said with a twisted expression, "Don't you think? ”

"Huh? I don't think so. Abel shrugged his shoulders and said.

"Huh~" Cremont said as he looked at Able with an incomprehensible expression.

Under Austinger's care, Gilbert sat on a cot in the tent and ate the porridge in the bowl one bite at a time.

"I'm not eating." Gilbert looked up and said to Austinger.

Austinger's eyes widened and said, "Why do you eat so little?" Take a few more sips. ”

"It's full." Gilbert said, pointing to his bulging belly.

"I don't remember your usual amount of food." Austinger wondered: "Is this vegetable porridge unappetizing, I'll go to the back kitchen to see if there's anything else to eat." ”

With that, Austinger stood up, placed the porridge bowl on the table, and turned to walk to the back kitchen.

After watching him leave, Gilbert stepped out of bed and put on the shoes that Austinger had given him a few sizes older. Slowly walk towards the outside of the tent. Avoiding the place where the soldiers were gathered, they climbed out of the fence of the camp.

"Come out." Gilbert stood on the loess-filled plain and shouted into the night.

"Something came closer through the grass.

"Kill half of our snake girl clan, you still dare to come here." A cold voice reached Gilbert's ears.

"I killed them because they wanted to kill me." Gilbert's face was as usual, and he said, "The Terran and Elven soldiers in this camp are not easy to mess with. As long as I tell them that the current snake girl clan has been greatly damaged, maybe you won't even be able to keep your hometown. He even dared to ambush here, preparing for a night attack. Who gave you the guts! ”

After the last sentence was spoken, the spiritual power in Gilbert's body gathered into the palm of his hand, and his five fingers suddenly became sharp.

"Scare us less." A snake girl said in a sharp voice, "The news that this army is going to the volcano has already spread throughout the island. How many pounds and taels do they have, do you think we don't know yet? ”

"Oh?" When Gilbert heard this, he chuckled: "Then what do you mean, you want to try?" ”

"Humph! Sure enough, it's a goblin who is born with a backbone. A snake girl sneered, "They are so arrogant in their words. ”

When Gilbert heard the word 'concubine', the corners of his mouth stiffened for a moment, and after taking a deep breath, he said to the snake girls: "Anyway, if you want to besiege this place today, you have to pass my pass first." I advise you to weigh your own weight before you come. ”

After the snake girl and the group saw the spiritual power surging all over Gilbert's body, their expressions showed a hint of cringe.

But as long as the leader doesn't speak, they can't back down.

The snake girl leader squinted and said, "You may really be the first goblin who can protect humans like this. ”
