Half Elf Ranger

Chapter 72
Traveling in the wilderness should never be boring.

Especially if nothing special is happening.

When you are bored, don't complain, all you need is to walk patiently towards your destination.

There is nothing better than nothing happening for a traveling adventurer.

Because emergencies in the wild always represent trouble, and may even bring death!
Just like what happened not far from Twilight Town at this time.

On the open road, the three of Thorne were running quickly towards the south gate of Twilight Town.

And not far behind them, a group of pursuers driven by jackals and goblins appeared faintly.

bump!
The jackal warrior cruelly swung the mace in his hand and smashed it down hard.

Immediately, a goblin trying to escape from the right side of the road struggled a bit, and then lay motionless on the ground, because its small head was torn apart like a rotten watermelon that fell on the ground.

Ow! ! !

The jackal warrior licked the red and white residue on the mace, and roared angrily.

A look of fear flashed in the eyes of the driven kobolds and goblin slaves. They raised their weapons and chased after Thorn and the three who were fleeing in the distance, screaming.

"Hurry up and put down the drawbridge, let us go in! The gnolls are coming soon." The troll Trundle yelled at the two guards on the Twilight Town wall.

His back was covered with dense arrows, and the powerful recovery ability of the troll race allowed these arrows to heal quickly before they were pulled out, as if they had grown by themselves.

Now he looked like a funny porcupine with the head and limbs of a troll.

Thorn held the long sword in his hand, looked at the moat that was blocking the front with a width of more than four meters, then turned around and glanced at the large number of kobolds, goblins, and jackals not far behind who were desperately chasing them, frowning slightly.

Things always happened unexpectedly in the wilderness. When the three of them were approaching Twilight Town in a happy mood, they suddenly encountered a team of wolf men wandering nearby.

The purpose of the gnolls wandering here is very clear, to capture goblins and kobolds as food or as cannon fodder when attacking Twilight Town.

The unexpected encounter between the two sides, naturally a fight is inevitable, but the number of jackals and goblin kobolds is really too much.

Just relying on the three of them, it is impossible to kill them all.

So he quickly rushed out of the siege and rushed to the approaching Twilight Town.

"The north gate of Twilight Town is resisting the attack of the wolf man. Without the order of the lord, the gate cannot be opened without authorization."

A guard in animal leather poked his head out from above, responding to the troll Trundle.

After finishing speaking, the guard noticed a large group of black figures in the distance, and immediately said to another guard beside him as soon as his face changed:

"Hurry up and report to the lord that a large group of gnolls and kobolds and goblins have appeared at the south gate."

"It seems that we can only protect ourselves." Thorne said in a deep voice, putting his long sword into its sheath.

If it was just him, the pursuers behind him would have been thrown away by him long ago, so naturally there would be no such trouble.

According to what the guard said, the north gate of Twilight Town was being attacked by jackals at this time. At this time, three strangers and a large number of jackals appeared at the south gate.

If he had a choice, he wouldn't open the city gate foolishly, and he could only blame the three of them for coming at an untimely time.

Then he turned to Anderina and said, "Can you jump over this moat?"

Anderina was taken aback for a moment, and nodded when she saw the piranha jumping in the moat.

Then with a light wave of the staff, a ring of spell jumping was blessed on the body.

"What about you?" Thorne looked at Trundle.

"Barely force it." Trundle said with his eyelids twitching.

"Then jump over there quickly, this moat can stop their attack, and then I will go up and open the city gate." Thorne said immediately.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
With a violent leap, the three figures instantly crossed the moat and jumped to the opposite bank.

Only Trundle accidentally fell into the water with one foot due to lack of strength. When he pulled it up with great pain, a large piece of flesh and blood on his leg had been eaten by piranhas, and the bite wound was shocking.

"Little guy, help me hang this hook lock on the city wall."

Thorne took out a rope from the dimensional bag and said to Anderina's shoulder beside him.

"Go!"

Anderina looked at the little devil who had just appeared, her eyes turned cold, and she ordered.

Simba immediately obediently grabbed the hook lock in Thorne's hand, flapped his little leather wings, and quickly flew towards the city wall.

"There aren't many Gnoll archers. You two resist it first, and I'll go up and open the door." Thorne said, testing the strength of the rope in his hand.

Then Thorn paused again and said: "If you really can't resist, use the teleportation scroll to escape, and I will find a way to find you then."

Immediately after that, he climbed up to the top of the city wall.

Ow! ! !

The leading gnoll saw the three people on the other side of the moat, roared, and directed the goblins and kobolds behind him.

The kobolds and goblins started to pick up stones and debris from the ground and threw them in Anderina's direction.

At the same time, other Jackals also took out long-range weapons to shoot.

Ding Ding Ding!
Feeling the weakened protective force field, Anderina waved her staff, and a dark red fireball the size of a washbasin appeared in front of her, reflecting her pretty face red.

Then Anderina pointed lightly with her staff, and the dark red fireball smashed into the crowd of wolves with a scorching roar.

——"Three-ring spell: Fireball!"

Rumble!
The violent explosion and high-temperature flames raged, instantly clearing a vacuum on the other side.

Clang!
Thorn, who climbed to the city wall, drew out his long sword, put the blade across the guard's neck and said coldly: "Hurry up and open the city gate."

"You're crazy! There are so many gnolls outside, and now the guards of the town are all in the north. Who will resist them after they enter the town?" The guard hesitated for a moment, and quickly retorted.

"Open the city gate first, and put half of the drawbridge, so it's impossible for all the wolves to break in." Thorne felt that the guard's brain was not enough, so he immediately explained.

"No! I can't afford this kind of consequences." The guarded player opened his arms and blocked his whole body in front of the city gate and the gate valve of the suspension bridge, unmoved.

"I will bear the consequences. I know your lord, Sarayan, and I will explain to him when the time comes." Thorne said, holding back the anger in his heart.

"Everyone in Twilight Town knows the lord Sarayan, who knows if what you said is true or not."

bump!
"Whispering!" Thorne glanced at the few wolf men on the ground who were eager to jump over, frowned, and kicked the guarding players away.

The reason why he didn't want to do anything was because he didn't want to fight against the people in Twilight Town. After all, he was in the opponent's territory, but this guard player was very stubborn, and Thorne could only do so.

Squeak!
Rumble!
As the suspension bridge slowly fell, the gate gradually cracked a gap.

"Come in quickly!"

Thorn controlled the door valve and shouted to Anderina below.

——"Half-dragon transformation!"

——"Fire breath!"

Anderina's long hair flew up, and a strong aura erupted from her body instantly, followed by a turbulent fire dragon's breath.

The burning dragon flames directly engulfed the few wolf men who had crossed the moat into the sea of ​​flames.

Then, following Trundle's footsteps, he jumped lightly, jumped into the falling suspension bridge, and entered the town along the gap in the city gate.

Seeing that the two had safely entered the town, Thorne breathed a sigh of relief, immediately turned the gate valve, and slowly closed the drawbridge and the city gate again, leaving only a group of angrily roaring gnolls on the ground.

"You dare to break into the city wall of Twilight Town, take it down for me!" A cold shout came from behind Thorne.

As soon as the words fell, there was a rush of footsteps, and a dozen well-equipped warriors with sharp knives surrounded Thorne.
