Chapter 10 (1/2)
Three days after capturing Gloria, who became a rat man, cheese finally appeared in the tavern at the top of the dragon's spine. During the three days of discussion, there were many opinions in the town about the disappearance of the mysterious man. Two of the frost guards swore that the mage had hidden the beast that had attacked the livestock in the tavern. The villagers were relieved that the animals would not disappear, but they could not thank the mage. After all, it's more likely that the two things that will happen now, one by one, and the other, domestication, to devour the animals, are probably even more likely in the eyes of villagers.
At the same time, although the chief of frost guard, commander Jon, received a report on the incident, the old commander did not have the energy to focus on these ”little things”. Maybe it's a good pastime on a regular basis. However, after the last time following the advice of the cheese chief and sending two successive groups of soldiers to the count of salon, the two teams seemed to be drowning in the sea, and there was no reply. In the past, it took only three days to get to Xigu city led by Earl saloon from the downhill town. Even three days after the first team left, commander Jon sent a second team to meet him, and the second team carried carrier pigeons. But now six days have passed, not to mention the carrier pigeon, but a crow has not flown from the south.
Damn it, I'm afraid the grey man's warning is true. Commander Jon wanted to visit cheese on the fourth day to get more advice. However, he was told that cheese was not in the tavern. His absolute trust in Elsa made the old commander not suspect the landlady's lies. Although cheese was not at the top of the dragon's spine at that time. However, he had no choice but to deploy the garrison on the mountain to the south, and at the same time began to build defensive wooden fence and lookout tower. For a long time, the frost guards only focused on the threat from the north. In addition, their own products were scarce and their military strength was excellent. All the Lords in the South had no idea about this army. As a result, the defense facilities facing the south of Legion town have always been just border posts along the main road. It is obvious that such defense facilities can not block the real threat, or even play an early warning role. The old commander knew this very well. The simple frost never slackened its demands on the soldiers. They were guarding the front line of their ancestors all the time. Therefore, in just two days, with the full force of the army, a weak but complete defense line has been gradually established.
”But that's not enough.” Commander Jon murmured that he needed more information for the safety of the Legion and the townspeople, but the Legion's scholars and staff could do nothing about it, so there was only one person left to ask for help. So when he heard cheese appeared again, he came here for the first time.
When the door of the tavern was opened, the table on which cheese sat was very conspicuous. On the one hand, few people in the town dared to sit next to him, and on the other hand, there were so many things on his table. Fleshy food like hills piled on the table, leaving commander Jon to speculate to determine which mysterious grey man belonged to the constant grabbing hand.
”Long time no see, Mr. cheese.” The old commander sat on the opposite side of the table. The other guests in the tavern saw him come in and began to check out. Even if the northerners in the small town at the foot of the mountain have never joined the army, there must be soldiers in their families. Therefore, as military subordinates, they should listen to those things. It is better to know less about them. Although this did not prevent them from secretly guessing what the commander and the cheese said.
Cheese heard the commander's voice is also a warm response.
”Well! Wuwuwu Oh, ah, Wu... ”
”Well, I think you'd better swallow it first.” The commander's eyes twitch.
After listening to the cheese, he quickly put two pieces of meat into his mouth and filled his mouth with it. Then he began to chew. To be honest, Elsa was looking at him from behind the bar, wondering how he had swallowed such a large mass of food. As for commander Jon, he was glad that his view was blocked by the food mountain and did not see the horror.
”Burp!” After swallowing all the food in his mouth, the cheese made an exaggerated hiccup. He waved his right hand, and the food on the table floated up and flew to the next table. This also allowed commander Jon to see the mage for a long time after seeing the cheese casting for the first time. At this time, the cheese is still a gray robe, but perhaps for the convenience of eating, most of the robes are lifted and put on the shoulder. You can see that the left shoulder of cheese is still wrapped in a thick bandage. And cheese's left arm is also hanging under the table, only the right hand holding a fork.
”Are you hurt?” Commander Jon frowned. Although he heard about cheese fighting the monster alone, he didn't expect that cheese would suffer such a heavy injury.
”No harm, just a little hurt. As you can see, the inconvenience of one hand does not affect me. ” With that, he threw the fork in his hand. After making a series of stunts in the air, he inserted it into the steak at the next table.
”I hope so. After all, I'm afraid your strength is very important in the present situation.” Commander Jon nodded and accepted the master's speech. After all, cheese was not a soldier who charged forward with a knife and gun.
