Chapter 754. The unfortunate wurm
"Much better." Gilbert, wearing his new shoes, walked around the tent twice and said happily to Austinger.
"Well, that's what I got from Levin." Austinger sat on the sidelines, took a big sip of milk, and said, "His son is about the same age as you, and Levin has brought several of his son's things with him, and he didn't expect them to come in handy now." ”
Gilbert stomped his feet on the ground twice more and asked Austinger, "I want to go out and walk in it." ”
"Okay, but don't tread in a pool." Austinger nodded and admonished, "Also, remember to come back early, we're going to the hot springs at nine o'clock, Giber..." Special. ”
Before Austinger could finish speaking, Gilbert had already stepped out of the tent.
Gilbert ran in the opposite direction of the hill he had previously scouted, and the goblin's special lodging skills made his entire body look very light, and he didn't feel a trace of weight. The sea insoles on his feet didn't weigh him down either.
On the way along the winding mountain road, Gilbert found a strangely shaped, charred body on the side of the road.
"What is this?" Gilbert raised his guard and slowly approached the grass. It was discovered that the body of the corpse was the 'wurm' he was looking for.
Gilbert's heart shook, and he lifted his legs heavily, and walked towards the cliff. Sure enough, piles of wurm corpses were piling up there.
Gilbert couldn't help but gasp and look out at the mountain peaks in the distance, where dormant dragons were inhabiting.
"Who would dare toss the dragon guards like this..."Gilbert closed his eyes, counting the forces on the island in his mind.
There were a few soldiers who were hostile to the dragon clan, but even if their group was combined, they didn't have the strength to make such a big noise.
Thinking of this, Gilbert endured his nausea and crouched down: to observe the charred skin of the 'wurm'.
"I've never seen this level of flame before." Gilbert pinched his nose and said in his heart: "Look at this, it has been three or four days ago that this group of 'wurms' was attacked to death. ”
Gilbert can only make basic judgments based on what he has learned in the past.
Staying where he was, he really couldn't think of any frowns, and Gilbert was going to bring the news to DeWitt and the others, so that they could help analyze it.
Before leaving, Gilbert hesitated to take the corpse of a 'wurm' with him, and after some hesitation, he gave up.
After entering the barracks, Gilbert inquired about DeWitt's current position.
As a result, I met Austinger in a yukata.
"Where have you been?" Austinger walked up to Gilbert and asked, "Look at the mud on these shoes." ”
"Went to the hill over there." Gilbert pointed to the location he had just been and said, "Leave this alone, have you seen Captain DeWitt?" Captain Cremont is okay too. ”
"Captain DeWitt? What are you looking for them? Austinger wondered, "They just left the barracks, and it seems that they went to the mountains over there to observe the road conditions." ”
With that, Austinger raised his hand to the mountain road to the left of the camp.
"Then I'll go find them." Gilbert nodded and was about to lift his feet and leave.
"Soldiers are not allowed to leave the barracks casually. Don't run around, come with me to the bath. Austinger hurriedly stopped in front of him and said.
"I'm not a soldier." Gilbert lifted the corners of his mouth and smiled: "And, I have important news to tell them, and I can't delay." ”
With that, Gilbert bypassed Austinger and ran outside the camp gate.
"Important news?" Austinger stayed where he was, wondering.
Gilbert saw the footprints of DeWitt and Cremont on the muddy mountain road and followed them all the way.
"Devitt!" After seeing the backs of the two people crouching on the side of the road, Gilbert breathed a sigh of relief and called out loudly.
It's just that DeWitt and Cremont didn't look very good when they turned to look at him.
A sense of foreboding welled up in Gilbert's heart.
Quickly walked to DeWitt's side and looked over to the edge of the cliff. I saw the same scene I had seen on another mountain.
The corpses of thousands of 'wurms' piled up together, still due to burns.
The three men standing on the side of the road fell silent.
"I saw the same on that hill to the west... These. Gilbert broke the silence.
"It's miserable." Cremont said to the pile of corpses. Although the races are different, seeing the tragic situation of their deaths, I can't help but feel a sense of compassion in my heart.
"What are we going to do now?" Devitt looked up and asked the two beside him.
"It was supposed to be a premeditated attack. I thought about breaking my head, and I didn't think about who was behind this organization. Gilbert said.
"Since it is a long-planned struggle between races, we are passing through this time period. It's really unlucky. Cremont hugged his head.
"Get out of here with the army." Gilbert suggested, "I don't know why the dragons haven't moved so far, but the news of the killing of the 'wurm' is estimated to have spread on this island. It is better to stay away from this incident as soon as possible. ”
"Hmm." Devitt nodded, and removed the sponge from his feet.
He raised his leg and began to walk back, while Gilbert and Cremont followed him.
When the three of them returned to the barracks, DeWitt quickly gathered everyone together and told them that they had to get out of here early. Tomorrow they will speed up their journey and try to get out of the dragons' territory within tomorrow.
"Within tomorrow?!" Austinger, who had just returned from the hot spring pool, was shocked when he heard the news.
Today they have only walked a fifth of the way, and they want to cover the rest of the way in one day tomorrow. I'm afraid it's still a little reluctant.
"Well, an urgent order issued by Captain DeWitt. You were just soaking in the hot springs. Levine wiped his feet and said, "Anyway, even if it gets dark tomorrow, you have to get out of here." And there will be no breaks in between. ”
Austinger listened to what Levine had said, and thought of what Gilbert had said before about 'important news'.
"Does it have anything to do with Gilbert?" Thinking of this, Austinger immediately raised his legs and walked out.
"Where are you going? Didn't you change your clothes? Levin shouted at Austinger.
"I'm going to find Gilbert." Austin replied without replying.
After walking around the camp, Austinger found Gilbert in the thermal pool.
"Why are you here? I'm looking for you everywhere. Austinger greeted Gilbert.
Gilbert heard Austinger's voice and immediately opened his eyes.
