In the early morning of the second day, Abel conveyed to all the soldiers that they could walk out of the forest within today.
The elf soldiers didn't have any special feelings, but the Calradian soldiers were overjoyed.
After everyone had breakfast, the whole team set off.
Sure enough, before noon, the rising and falling mountains were forgotten behind. A wide plain lay open before all.
Perhaps it is because of the geographical environment, compared to the flat land at the gate of the dwarf town. At this time, the grass that everyone stepped on was covered with yellowed withered grass. When the soldiers passed by, there was a sharp sound of "swiping la la".
"Looking at it this way, it really looks like autumn again." Abel said.
"The plants in the desert are always green all the year round. It's the first time I saw such a wide autumn plain, and I really felt the seasons are changing." DeWitt said with emotion.
There seems to be only summer and winter in the desert forever.
In order to balance such a climate, even in the oasis, trees that wither with the seasons will not be planted.
"It's a pity that we can't see the sun in the sky today." Claremont said, looking at the sky covered by clouds and mist.
Everyone continued to advance on the plain, and the withered grass on the plain covered the soldiers' calves.
Seeing this situation, DeWitt suggested that everyone move forward slowly and pay attention to the movements around the grass at all times.
The elf soldiers naturally flew in mid-air with their feet off the ground to avoid threats. However, in order to maintain physical strength, the flying height is only about fifty centimeters above the ground.
The Calradian soldiers advanced while pulling the grass with the scabbard in their hands.
Austin stood in the middle of the team, and when he was pulling the grass with everyone, he felt his backpack being pulled. After thinking about who was behind him, he turned his head impatiently and said in a low voice, "Macley, stop playing."
Standing behind him and bending over the grass to check the situation, McCree raised his head in confusion and raised his eyebrows: Isn't he checking the road conditions? When did this man see himself playing.
However, due to the quiet atmosphere around him, McCree didn't make a sound. Instead, he continued to turn over the grass on his own.
After a while, Austin felt the backpack on his back suddenly drop. Immediately, anger surged into my heart: I am dizzy from being so busy here, what are you playing here
"Boom!" Austin threw his backpack to the ground and yelled at McLeary behind him, "You don't understand human words, do you?"
The soldiers around them were shocked by the roar and stopped moving.
"Are you sick!" McCree straightened up and looked up.
"You" Austin was about to grab the other party by the collar and question him.
But from the corner of his sight, he saw that his backpack had 'run away'.
"Wait!" Austin rushed towards his 'moving' backpack in a panic. As a result, when the backpack was firmly held in his arms, there was a whine of a living creature in his ear.
Not only him, but the people watching around also heard such a voice.
"Austinger, come back!" McLeary yelled.
Although I don't know what kind of creature it is, it is still very dangerous for Austin, who is unarmed, to keep such a close distance with a strange creature.
DeWitt and the other three also came over. Greeted Austin to retreat.
Austin himself really felt that there was not only a backpack in his arms, but also a living creature with a beating heart.
Austin slowly let go of his arms, but the creature under the backpack remained silent. Then he carefully removed the backpack.
"It's so ugly." Austin couldn't help saying.
Tawny skin, pointy ears, and fluff all over the body. The first meeting gave Austiner a chill.
After seeing that Austin was safe and sound, Claremont stepped forward and observed, "Goblin?"
After hearing what Claremont said, DeWitt and Abel also hurried forward.
After observing carefully for a while, Abel wondered, "Is this a goblin?"
Claremont squatted down in front of the fainted goblin, rolled his eyelids, and after seeing the dark red pupils, confirmed: "Yes."
"How did the goblins appear here? Don't they live in groups near the volcano?" DeWitt said.
The faces of the three were very heavy. After all, they came to investigate this time because of the disappearance of the dwarves. In the initial evidence, the suspicion of the disappearance of the dwarves was all concentrated on the goblins.
They really didn't expect to meet halfway.
"Did this come out alone, or have we entered another goblin colony?" Abel said the possibility that he had speculated in his mind.
"We have no way of knowing this for the time being." Claremont looked around and said, "The goblins are cunning and greedy by nature. Even if they see their companions injured, they will not come to rescue them."
"Yeah." DeWitt pondered for a while, followed Clement and squatted down in front of the goblin, felt the pulse on the goblin's neck, and said, "It's still alive, take it with you. Maybe we can get it from the goblin." It asked about the news about the dwarves."
Both Abel and Claremont nodded: It is best for them to have more realistic information.
The eyes of the three looked at Austin who was lying on the side.
After Austin noticed this gaze, he smiled awkwardly: "What do I need to do?"
"Your name is Austin, right? I remember you." Claremont smiled and said, he still has a deep impression of Austin: After all, when he was in Durandal, he sent him to the lounge when he was motion sick: " This goblin is in your care. You have to take good care of it."
"Me?! How could I?" Austin was about to deny it, but after thinking about it, he agreed: "Then let me take care of it."
"sorry to bother you."
After explaining this matter, the three of DeWitt returned to their positions and directed the team forward.
Austin pulled out the fainted goblin from the grass and carried it on his back.
"It's heavy," Austin exclaimed.
When I was worrying about carrying such a thing on my back, how to follow the team forward.
At the end of the line came Claremont's call: "Austinger, come, come with me."
"Yeah." Austin bowed respectfully and nodded, and hurried over.
Over the past few months, the leadership positions of DeWitt, Claremont, and Abel have been deeply ingrained in the hearts of every soldier in the reconnaissance team. So everyone couldn't help being respectful to these three people. I completely forgot the time when I participated in training as a colleague in a team.
