I'm a forest ranger, why would I enslave a succubus?

Chapter 5 Intruder

Rhodes packed his luggage as quickly as possible.

Steel sword.

Spare steel sword.

A spare backup steel sword.

Leather armor.

Magic potion.

poison.

lime.

Hand crossbow.

A black cape made of hard cowhide.

After changing into an outfit that was completely different from his usual one, Rhodes's whole demeanor changed.

He jumped onto the horse and stood tall.

If he looked like an ordinary, simple young man before.

Now, he is a true ranger.

Except for the Flash of Aselon, Rhodes has mastered the other new spiritual arts.

"Terry!"

Terry is level five.

Succubi are not good at fighting, but they are not incapable of it.

"Five days. Give it to me whenever I want it."

"Don't come."

"Two days!" Terry said hurriedly, anxiously.

"can."

She changed back to her true form and squeezed sweetly into Rhodes' arms.

"Vivian, please help us secretly."

Tree spirits can hide in trees and are good at sneak attacks in the woods at night.

Vivian nodded and quickly disappeared into the woods.

Shortly after.

Rod appeared on horseback at the edge of the White Elm District.

Flames shot up into the sky.

The air was filled with the smell of burning trees.

"That's the location of a ranch in Quartz Town."

Not far away, on the edge of a pasture, a house with a white exterior was engulfed in flames.

This is the area closest to Quartz Town. Not only were the trees burned, but even the houses on the edge of Quartz Town were affected.

Daphne is missing.

As the owner of Quartz Town, the lord's daughter.

There is no doubt that most of the people in Quartz Town will participate in the search.

It was at this time that someone took advantage of the lack of defense to cause trouble.

Even if you say it wasn't intentional, I don't believe it.

"Oily fire."

Tai Li in his arms looked at the flames in the sky and spoke.

She said, "A fifth-level spell that can be cast even on the surface of water. It's a fire spell that's very difficult to get rid of once it gets on you."

"Do you have any idea?"

"My Transfiguration can shed a layer of skin to escape."

She raised her head and rubbed Rod's neck affectionately.

“But I can’t help others get out of trouble.”

"If I get attacked, leave me alone and kill them first."

"Okay~ Then I can taste what you smell like when you're on fire~"

"Don't kill me."

The man slumped on the ground, beads of sweat the size of beans dripping down his face uncontrollably.

His teeth were chattering and his body was shaking like a sieve.

Behind him was a flame that was blown even brighter by the night wind.

There is no way to retreat.

The person in front of him was clearly just a short halfling.

In the past, he would look down upon this race when he passed by, but now, at this moment, he felt fear from the bottom of his heart.

In the flames, four human men slowly walked behind the halfling.

The halfling Ali swung the dagger in his hand, and a blade of air easily cut the man's throat.

"take it out."

Behind him, a human man wearing a turban quickly picked up an axe, split open the dead man's head, and took out the brain.

"Boss, didn't the priest ask us to burn the tree?"

Another bald human man asked.

The hooded man cursed, "You're stupid! Just light the tree on fire. Kill more people and take their brains. The church will reward you."

"But if it's so blatant, the sheriff in Quartz will investigate."

"If we want to investigate, then we can. Given our current status, we should take responsibility for our religion."

The bald man wanted to say more.

Ali coughed lightly.

"Indeed, Quartz Town is now unguarded. This is a good time to fetch the divine peach to please my lord."

In the Yigo religion, the magic peach represents the brain, and members of the religion can exchange a certain number of magic peaches for items.

Ali had previously borrowed money and exchanged it for a bottle of Flame Spirit Oil, which was very beneficial to him and could greatly enhance his affinity with the spirit of the fire element.

But unexpectedly, before I could use it, the day to repay the debt came.

As a last resort, Ali took on the task of burning the Wind Wall Forest.

Half a month ago, he came here to investigate and created some noise to test the situation.

It took three full days for the local forest ranger to discover it.

This is enough to prove the forest's weak defenses. "I've heard that the Kingdom's attention to Wind Wall Forest has been declining year by year. I didn't expect there's only one ranger now, and he's only a weakling at the second level."

Ali sneered.

"Level 2? Hahaha, I can crush that guy to death with one hand."

"I heard from the people in town that he also has a succubus."

"That's it. Half a month has passed. I guess he has become smelly."

"Hahahahahaha."

When the four heard this, they all agreed with their boss.

Tuk Tuk——

Tuk Tuk——

Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves was heard not far away.

"alert!"

"Don't worry, there's only one horse."

"There may be high-level guardians in Quartz Town. Don't underestimate them."

After this reminder, everyone became nervous.

As the sound of horse hooves gradually approached.

They spotted a knight slowly rising up the hillside.

The knight had his back to the flames, and the light did not shine on his front.

Among the four humans, there was a middle-aged man wearing an eyepatch.

He took off the eye patch and saw a hawk eye.

"Hahaha, it's the forest ranger."

The tense atmosphere suddenly dissipated.

"What? Hahaha."

"He must be riding because his legs are weak."

"I guess so. Not only are my legs weak, but my waist is too."

Even Ali smiled disdainfully.

He has never rejected the jokes and small talk of his subordinates, but instead feels that there is a sense of teamwork.

On the slope, the knights began to charge.

"I come!"

The turbaned man drew his machete.

"Within three moves, place your bets."

He laughed loudly and went forward to meet him.

The opponent's cross steel sword was also drawn out in mid-air.

But in their eyes, the movements were cute and clumsy.

But Ali's smile froze.

"careful!"

He shouted a warning, but it was too late.

Heads flew into the sky.

The blood floated in the air like flowers scattered by a fairy.

The other three people were still stunned and stood there before they could react.

Wait, did I see that wrong?
"Damn it!"

Ali shouted angrily and galloped away.

The dagger swung out an air blade.

Rhodes had anticipated this and jumped off his horse, narrowly avoiding the attack.

Nourishes—

A ball of lightning exploded from his right hand, extending to the steel sword and emitting a blue light.

Lightning Blade!
Cut horizontally!

when--

The halfling in front of him held up a translucent spherical spell shield.

Although this sword did not hurt the opponent, it directly cut off a corner of it.

"Level 4?!"

Ali was stunned.

He was quite certain that this forest ranger was only at the second level half a month ago.

Rod grinned.

“There are things you don’t know.”

He pointed his left hand at Ali, and white spiritual power suddenly exploded.

Repel!
Repulse is known for its powerful impact, and it is often very effective against this kind of spell shield.

There was a bang.

Sure enough, the magic shield mask was broken and almost couldn't hold on.

Ali's face looked extremely ugly.

Level 4, looks like a close combat type of fighter, tough and stinky.

As he is at the fifth level, he will naturally win.

But it takes a lot of time to deal with this type of opponent.

Now they are using blitzkrieg tactics, and what they need most is time.

"Brothers, come with me."

Before he could finish, he heard strange cries from his subordinates behind him.

Ali turned his head to look.

I actually saw a dark blue-skinned succubus perform transformation and turn into a green-skinned female orc who was two meters and five meters tall.

He danced with a bone knife in his hand with great vigor.

The three subordinates were frightened and retreated one after another.

"You can actually order a succubus to do something?!"
