Sequence adventurers roaming between two worlds

"Don't blame the captain." The arriving dwarf, Hassen, sighed. "He's just too concerned about the safety of those around him."

"I don't want any accidents to happen."

Hearing this, Leo was stunned for a moment before he realized what was happening.

The dwarf Hassen was worried that Captain Gomez had just rejected his request so harshly that he might harbor resentment.

This is to comfort him.

Seeing this, Leo was both amused and exasperated: "Brother Hassen, you're overthinking it. I didn't take it to heart at all."

"I understand that the captain made this decision for my own good."

Hearing his words, Hassen breathed a sigh of relief and then returned to his usual generous and enthusiastic self.

He stepped forward, stood on tiptoe, and patted Leo's shoulder forcefully: "That's good."

"After we defeat the goblin horde, I'll accompany you for practical combat training."

He pounded his chest hard: "As a shield guard, I'm the one who makes the whole squad feel the safest."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Hassen," Leo said with a smile.

"Haha, it's no big deal." Hassen stroked his beard. "Then it's settled. I still need to train the villagers I've gathered. You can practice your vocational skills on your own."

He had only taken two steps when he remembered something and turned to look at Leo behind him: "You don't need to worry too much about this mission of upholding the trust."

"The captain's request for assistance was answered by carrier pigeon this morning."

"Three days from now, a powerful and experienced Bronze-level adventurer will arrive to provide support."

"In other words, even if the goblin leader completes its transformation in the next day or two, we only need to hold out for a day or two before reinforcements arrive."

A seasoned bronze-level adventurer?

Leo blinked.

He had some knowledge of the adventurer ranking system.

The lowest level is the ordinary adventurer, who has no rank. This level includes everyone from newbies to prospective professionals.

Above that are the Iron-level adventurers.

To become an adventurer of this level, the hard requirement is to possess the strength of a professional.

It could be said that a professional might not necessarily be a Black Iron-level adventurer due to the number of commissions they complete.

But an Iron-level adventurer must be a professional.

Similarly, to become a Bronze-level professional above Iron, one must possess strength far exceeding that of ordinary professionals!

The imminent arrival of such a powerful ally is indeed exciting news.

Leo felt a slight sense of relief.

……

For the next two days, Huashi Village and its surrounding area remained very peaceful.

There were no monsters to bother them, and not even any slightly ferocious beasts appeared, but everyone knew that this was just the prelude to a storm.

The air was heavy and still.

In just two days, all the villagers of Huashi Village were organized.

The able-bodied men were organized into the village guard, and were given simple drills by Hassen, a man from Ha.

The elderly, weak, and women, led by the archer Cecilia, were building defensive structures such as earthen walls, shallow moats, sharp wooden barricades, and even traps.

As for Captain Ge Mie, he leaves early and returns late every day, and no one knows what he does.

While everyone else was mobilized, Leo was not idle either.

These past two days, he has continued to practice his professional skills diligently every day.

And so, the time came to the morning of the third day.

Inside the farmhouse, Leo opened his eyes.

At this moment, the first rays of sunlight were just beginning to appear outside.

"Drip, drip..."

The faint sound that reached his ears made him frown slightly.

He got up and went to the window in the earthen wall, looking out.

The sky was overcast, and countless water droplets splashed down.

It's raining.

Although it's not big.

But it still cast a shadow over Leo's heart.

Today is the third day. According to Captain Goblin Slayer, the leader of the goblin horde will complete his transformation by today at the latest.

If the village is attacked by a goblin horde on a rainy day, the situation will undoubtedly be even more difficult.

"call……"

Leo let out a soft breath, suppressing his unease, and looked at his control panel.

The improvement in his basic physical condition allowed Leo to practice his skills more frequently each day.

This was an unexpected discovery for him.

Thanks to this, he mainly maintains his [Slash lv.5] skill level and practices the [Slide Step] skill in his daily life.

The number of daily practice sessions has increased from a cumulative 100 to 150.

Even so, he still couldn't master the [Slide Step] skill to level 5 within just two days.

"The time was still too short. I wish I had three more days."

Leo felt a pang of regret.

"However, the level 4 [Slide Step] combined with the level 5 [Slash] should be enough to handle unexpected situations."

Goblins are not particularly fast monsters; in chaotic battles, stamina is more important than agility.

Leo pondered to himself, sheathed the iron sword on the table, and pushed open the door to leave.

The rain was as fine as cow's hair, and it felt a bit chilly on my face.

The already muddy dirt roads in Huashi Village are now even more slippery and difficult to walk on, but this has not stopped the villagers from doing their work.

At the village entrance, the dwarf Hassen braved the wind and rain, loudly directing several young men to reinforce the last few rows of sharp wooden barricades.

His voice sounded deep and powerful in the rain, like a stabilizing force that calmed everyone's panicked minds.

Behind the earthen wall not far away, the elven archer Cecilia was frowning as she carefully wiped her bowstring with a dry cloth.

Seeing Leo come out, she said without looking up, "On rainy days, bowstrings are prone to getting damp and softening, which greatly reduces their power and the accuracy of the arrows."

"The goblins are attacking. Stand back. If you get into danger, I might not be able to save you in time."

"Thank you for your concern, Miss Cecilia." Leo was already used to the elven archer's "tough on the outside but soft on the inside" attitude and didn't care at all.

His gaze, however, passed over the elven girl and fell upon the dense forest outside the village, shrouded in rain and mist.

The more he looked, the stronger his unease became.

It's too quiet.

Apart from the patter of rain, there wasn't a single bird chirping in the forest.

"Something's not right..." Leo's pupils contracted slightly. He switched [Slide Step] to level 5, gaining a perception boost.

His perception, which was as high as 7, made him realize something, and his gaze suddenly fixed on the bushes at the edge of the forest, hundreds of meters outside the village.

There, a shrub was swaying slightly and unnaturally.

Then came the second piece, the third piece...

"Enemy attack—!!!"

Before he could issue a warning, Cecilia's clear voice echoed through the rain.

The moment after the elven archer gave the warning, countless scarlet eyes suddenly lit up in the bushes at the edge of the forest.

Dozens of gaunt and menacing short figures, interspersed with a few exceptionally tall figures, emerged from the forest.

Goblin horde, attack!
