19. Enemy Attack

Then the two people sitting in the carriage remained silent.

Leona, who was feeling a little tired, rubbed her eyes and looked at Lily who was staring at the moon in a daze.

The beautiful lavender eyes sparkled with the light of the silver and red moons.

She had seen some little girls like this before.

But Lily is the first one like this.

Cuteness is secondary. The main thing is the aura on her body, which is strangely quiet - even fascinating to those around her.

As the night progressed, the noisy guards quieted down, and some of them went into the tents to rest.

After all, night is the time when you need to be most vigilant.

The captain of the guard passed by the adventurers and simply said, "Keep an eye on the carriage next to you. Remember to follow orders in battle." Then he walked away.

That tone made Ai'er feel itchy.

After a brief discussion, the first people to stay behind were DeWitt and Roy.

The time is divided into the first half and the second half. When the moon moves to the west, it is the time when the two halves meet.

Ai'er wanted to take Lily to rest first, and saw Leona sitting next to Lily.

The adventurers were only given one tent, so the three women had to share one tent for their first rest, but it was spacious enough.

Although it was okay for Lily and Elle to not sleep for a few days, they still had to pretend to sleep in order to reassure the people traveling with them.

When Lily heard that several people were going to share a tent, she didn't seem too averse.

The guard passing by saw Lily getting off the carriage and kindly said:

"As for slaves, just stay in the carriage."

"slave?!"

As a result, the guard was quickly scolded away by Ai'er.

The guard shook his head helplessly before leaving:

"Why do you take a slave so seriously..."

Ai'er finally calmed down with Lily's comfort.

Leona just watched the two of them from behind.

……

The tent was dark and a little hard underneath, but at least there was a place to rest.

Leona watched as the two little girls moved aside, leaving half of their space for her. Although she felt a little embarrassed, she still lay down obediently.

Ai'er didn't lie down in a hurry, but just secretly looked at Lily lying on the side.

Now what happens if I rub it...

El's hand was already on Lily's head, but she pulled it back.

There are other people around, so forget it.

Oh, it's too difficult.

Lily lay in the tent for a while.

But I didn't fall asleep.

Maybe it was because there was someone else next to me, so I couldn't fall asleep.

After a while she sat up, only to see Ai'er also sitting there looking at her.

Ai'er seemed to be frightened and turned her face away awkwardly.

However, Lily didn't think too much about it and just said, "I want to go out."

"Oh, oh... Then I'll accompany you."

Without waking up Leona beside her, Lily and El finally sneaked out of the tent together.

DeWitt and Roy seemed to be talking by the fire in the carriage. It sounded like they were teaching martial arts. Seeing the two people coming out, DeWitt asked with concern, "What's wrong?"

"Lily can't sleep in the tent, so I'll come out with her."

"I see. If you want to sleep in the carriage, we will help you watch over it."

"Thank you very much."

Lily was lying on the wooden planks behind the carriage as usual, with her head resting on Elle's knees.

They happened to be in the blind spot of the guards' vision, so no one else saw them.

Lily rubbed her head into Elle's chest.

Elle's taste is very sweet.

It is different from the flowers in the garden, with bright plants and the fragrance of flowers.

Lily unexpectedly liked this special smell.

"Hmph...Thank you, El."

"Hey, why suddenly?"

El wanted to ask something, but Lily had already closed her eyes.

The silvery moonlight carved deep shadows under Lily's eyelashes.

Under the night light, Lily's fair little face was so silent that it seemed frozen in time.

It was unexpectedly unreal.

Ai'er's heart couldn't help but pound.

I don’t know if I’m excited by the other person’s cuteness, or if it’s because of the inexplicable panic brought about by the unreality.

Trying to figure it out.

Ai'er's hand gently stroked Lily's hair, and her mood seemed to calm down a little.

She looked up at the big silver moon and the small pale red moon beside it.

It was indeed as Lily said, very beautiful.

"If only you could follow me forever..."

Ai'er suddenly murmured.

How long has this been going on?

The only sounds around were the faint sound of wind and the crackling of burning branches.

However, Ai'er's little tip suddenly moved.

Something seems to be wrong around here.

……

The elves are a race of the forest.

Generally, they seldom come out of the forest, so the forest can be said to be their most familiar home.

They are very sensitive to all kinds of forests. Seasons, temperature, sounds, wind flow are all things you need to know to understand the forest.

Therefore, Ai'er quickly realized the current state of the forest.

It was very quiet. The wind was very steady.

That's not what a real forest looks like.

Rather, it was a state of being targeted by some beast that was powerful enough to occupy a place in the forest.

Ai'er looked at Lily lying in his arms and felt quite distressed.

I guess there will be a fight soon...

Is it better to wake Lily up first, or let her sleep for a while longer?

……

The guards' rotations seemed much more organized.

But compared with previous deliveries, this one seemed more cautious.

For some special products, beasts and monsters will smell the odor they sense and follow it to come here.

At that time, it seemed that the presence or absence of a fire had no effect.

On the contrary, that is a particularly serious situation.

This escort team has experienced similar situations before.

A slightly older man by the fire pushed the young man next to him.

"What's wrong old man?"

"Stop sleeping and wake up. Even I am awake."

"Is it that serious? It's only a moment..."

"The situation now is a bit similar to last time."

"Last time?"

"The time of the joint guard. From Portree to Harwich, on the grassland at night. The beasts and monsters suddenly rushed out, just when everyone was the most sleepy."

The man described the scene at that time:

"The three guard teams guarded the entire night and suffered heavy losses. Afterwards, the two guard teams with the smallest number of people had to disband and reorganize, and many people were forced to collect their pensions and go back to farming. At that time, most of the people who fell asleep during the guarding process died. Do you know why?"

"...Intelligent monsters will attack those people first. You have said this many times, old man."

"Yes. They all rushed up in groups. At the beginning, they launched the most violent attack. I rushed out of the tent with my weapon in my hand, and blood sprayed on my face. I looked closely and found that someone had his head bitten. If I wasn't lucky, would you still see an old man like me?"

The man took up his weapon:
