Half Elf Ranger

Chapter 364 Silver Crow Messenger

As usual, crisp birdsong rang through the dawn mist, heralding the approach of sunrise.

Thorn, who was sitting cross-legged on a big rock, opened his eyes, put the weapon standing in front of him into the scabbard, stood up to welcome the first ray of sunlight, and prepared for a new day of adventure.

Suddenly, a black spot appeared in the sky that was gradually brightening, and it was heading towards Thorne at an extremely fast speed.

Thorne smiled slightly, and immediately stretched out his arms. A galloping falcon circled around his head, and landed on it very obediently.

The falcon seemed to have felt the unique natural affinity of Ranger. After it landed on Thorne's arm, it gently rubbed its eagle head against his sleeve very affectionately.

——"Animal Talking Technique!"

Seeing this situation, Thorne smiled and stroked the smooth feathers of the falcon, stared at its smart eyes for a while, and waved his hand lightly, and this well-behaved little animal disappeared without a trace.

"I didn't expect the hobgoblin Hruk to target Twilight Town, and they have been besieged for two days." Thorn walked among the wet weeds and bushes, whispering to himself.

It has been two days since I left Stallman Town.

His current location is very close to Iron Horse Town.

During these two days of walking, Thorne found that many humanoid creatures in the wilderness were migrating to the north of the Emerald Field, which made him instantly realize something was wrong, so he immediately dispatched a small Animals go to scout.

As expected, after the hobgoblin Hruk successfully united the lizardmen and bully frogmen in the bottomless swamp, he immediately targeted Twilight Town.

Obviously, they thought that Fallstown and Horn Town were hard nuts to crack, so they set their attack targets elsewhere.

Moreover, the Hobgoblin Hruk has besieged Twilight Town for two days. Although it has not been captured until now, as time goes by, the population of Twilight Town will definitely be exhausted.

After all, the Hobgoblin of Hruk is backed by the entire Bottomless Swamp and the Forest of Silence, and the numerical advantage is not comparable to that of Twilight Town.

However, what really puzzled Thorne was that Twilight Town had been under siege for two days, while Iron Horse Town, the nearest town, remained indifferent.

As a lord, it is impossible for them not to understand the truth of the cold lips and teeth.

Iron Horse Town was built on a flat mountainside, with the emerald river with undulating drops to the west and the muddy swamp to the east. There are only two roads with a slope of about 45 degrees that can really pass through.

This condescending advantage combined with their building like a small military castle directly prevented the Hruk hobgoblins from developing their numerical advantage here.Therefore, the target of the attack would definitely not be chosen first on Iron Horse Town.

But this doesn't mean that the hobgoblins will give up Iron Horse Town, it's just more troublesome. When they take Twilight Town, Iron Horse Town will definitely become the next target.

Then they took advantage of the trend to flatten Stallman Town, and finally surrounded Bugle Town and Waterfall Town, and concentrated all their forces to launch a general attack.

"Let's go to Iron Horse Town first to find out the specific situation." Thorne pondered for a while, then quickened his pace and walked in the direction of Iron Horse Town.

Although the hobgoblins of Hruk surrounded Twilight Town, their kind of encirclement was almost non-existent to him. As long as he wanted, he could freely enter and exit at any time.

However, he did not intend to do so.

The current Twilight Town looks precarious, and Iron Horse Town is indifferent, he wants to understand what is going on before making any plans.

The main task of his trip to Twilight Town this time is to retrieve the legendary-level soul spar to make the tower spirit of the wizard tower. He also has another task, which is to test the opinions of several other towns, whether they are willing to unite and work together. Fight against the enemies of the wilderness.

After all, the hobgoblins in the Forest of Tranquility have always been a deadly threat to Fallstown and Horn Town. They are entrenched on the main road leading to Seput City, which directly makes it difficult for the two towns to develop economically. .

Although the goblin merchants in the underground world have started to trade with Waterfall Town under his help, the profits of those special products in Waterfall Town are quite limited.

The real valuables are weapons and equipment, spices and silks, and those luxury items that the underground world cannot produce.

The current Pushang Town does not have the ability to mass-produce such things.

Therefore, in order to truly prosper, the hobgoblins in the Forest of Tranquility must be completely eliminated.

Now, through a simple conversation with the night lords, Thorne has already understood their general meaning.

Not to mention Twilight Town, their lord Sarayan has been trying his best to promote the Five Towns Alliance.

As for the Iron Horse Town, which seemed a little brainless, he needed to go into the town to observe the situation.

After all, when the caravan from Stallman Town passed by the people of Iron Horse Town last year, they made a trick to lure them into the siege of the Lizardmen.

Although the lord of Iron Horse Town personally went to Stallman Town to apologize afterwards, it still made people in the two towns feel bad.

Moreover, when Twilight Town took the initiative to meet the Gnolls, it also asked them for help, but the lord of this town found an excuse to shirk it.

This is the case now, Twilight Town has been besieged by hobgoblins for two days, and Iron Horse Town, which can form a horn with Twilight Town, is still indifferent.

Such an abnormal attitude instantly aroused Thorne's curiosity.

He really couldn't figure out what the lord of Iron Horse Town was doing.

Thorne walked along a slope deep in the dense forest for about an hour, and the outline of Iron Horse Town finally appeared before his eyes.

Looking at the circular tower, the narrow windows and the extensive use of columns and vaults of various shapes, Thorn pondered for a while, and with a thought, he directly activated the teleportation technique of the Shadow Hand School and appeared on the tower of Iron Horse Town.

"Huh?" The moment Thorne appeared on the tower, he immediately sensed something was wrong.

It's so quiet here, there's not even a guard.

Thorne moved his hand to the hilt of his sword, and walked forward slowly vigilantly.

He looked down into the town from a high position, and found that there was no one in the castle except for a red bronze dragon statue in the center.

"What happened?" Such a strange scene made Thorn even more confused.

Although there seemed to be no one in the whole town, he could tell from the traces on the ground that everyone in Iron Horse Town was hiding in the room.

So Thorne, who was full of curiosity, immediately walked towards the stairs on the tower, preparing to enter the town to find out.

However, as soon as he took two steps, he found a human man in a white robe with long silver-white hair leaning against the corner to bask in the sun.

Thorne looked at the young man with closed eyes and was about to speak, but the other party suddenly opened his bright eyes, turned to look at him, and greeted with a smile: "Hello, half-elf ranger from Fallstown , the stalker of the silent path."

After finishing speaking, he got up and walked over, looking at him with interest.

"You are the druid of Emerald Court." Thorne saw the mark on the human man's chest and guessed the man's identity.

"That's right, I'm the Druid of the Emerald Garden, you can call me the Silver Raven Messenger." The human man smiled and nodded.
