Lizardions Despite being weaker than gnolls, having a Monster Level of only 2, their tribes boasted great numbers They were similar to humans in a sense They both planted crops and hunted for food Their settle of simplistic houses and sohly two hundred members, and almost half of those were combatants

Each tribe also had at least one druid or sorcerer The lizarde of spells and were more likeother deadly beasts andthe iant lizards, five-e Rating of 6 Considering their combat prowess, most adventurers did not dare to e girl who’d brought food for Soran the previous night came over and asked She looked at Soran with hope in her red, swollen eyes and continued, ”You're an adventurer, right? They were saying you're strong, really strong! You can handle the lizardht?”

Soran slowly shook his head and answered in a serious tone, ”I'm sorry, but I can't There're a lot of the them We cannot stop them with the number of cohter everyone”

It was just as Soran had said; he alone could not change the tide of the battle They ht be able to win if they had aLevel 15 warrior or a Level 12 spellcaster, both of whom could take on around a hundred lizardht now

The lizardmen had most likely been forced to leave their settlement in the Dark Swamp Every location with nearby water sources was a potential target for their new settleht to live Peaceful coexistence was but a drea themselves, let alone with other species The world was a cold and cruel place, and it would be foolish to believe that monsters would be thy evolution process to reach their current degree of civilization after all

Soran would not risk his life saving the village; it was not worth it, nor had he the ability to do so The best he could do was suggest they leave It was their decision to ers would have to take responsibility for their own choices

Perhaps because of the lizard Soran better lodging He did not really h and returned to the barn to rest The nuht were doubled as a precaution The captain and the elders were discussing whether or not to e; it was never an easy decision to abandon one’s home

Soran was uninterested in their discussion and did not intend to intervene Instead, he was planning what to do the next day Fighting hundreds of lizardmen was not much

It was now late at night Soran did not fall asleep cos in fear of the lizardht

All of a sudden, he heard some noises and instantly jumped down from the stack of hay, sword in hand Soran slowly crept out of the barn, expecting soe was just as it was before he’d entered the barn Lit torches were placed everywhere, and the e Souard on the watchtowers The ene the ht now He loosened up a bit but still decided to walk around for a while He walked toward the wooden wall, but everything seeo back to the barn

Wait, what's this?

Just as he turned to leave, Soran realised soround; this particular patch et and muddy The past two days had been arid, and it had not rained at all The nearby dirt was all dry, and just this one area was rabbed a handful of the soil and held it up to his nose; it gave off a slightly fishy odor

”Lizardoosebuainst the wall and readied his sword ”A lurker?”

Only those with the advanced profession Lurker would be able to infiltrate the village unnoticed in these circuht as he ran toward the watchtower to notify the guards It was likely the lizarde

Before he could reach his destination, a woman shouted, ”The warehouse's on fire!”

It caused an uproar in the village The militia nearby froze momentarily in shock, then ran to fetch water to put out the fire
