Tauren Overlord

For example, when they were hunting goblins, they liked to use seemingly weak female adventurers as bait.

Once the goblins are exposed, other adventurers who are lying in ambush will rush forward and capture all the goblins in one fell swoop.

Only in rare cases will the female adventurer used as bait be betrayed...

However, Lundstol has seen many things like this.

He immediately responded with an "I understand" expression, and he also replied:

"I will handle it!"

After assigning the tasks to Londestal, Lu Heng found Duck Prophet again and gave him another psychic potato.

"This is a communication tool, remember not to eat it."

"As long as you speak to it, the message can be passed on to my undercover agents hidden in the Empire."

"If you encounter any special situation, please contact my people over there."

From Lu Heng's tone, Duck Prophet could feel that his lord seemed to trust the hidden undercover very much, which also boosted his confidence.

In a real struggle, direct combat capability is never the only factor that determines victory or defeat, and the importance of intelligence work is very important.

As for the work of collecting intelligence, although the ratmen have little individual combat power, they are fully capable of performing the tasks of reconnaissance and dissemination of intelligence.

With the help of the Psychic Potato Cubes, a substitute for radio, Lu Heng can be the first to know about any unusual movements in the direction of the Suspension Bridge Monastery.

Next, we just have to wait for the adventurers to take the bait.

Three days later, in Artemisia Town.

The two female adventurers were looking at Lu Heng's flyer intently, as if they had found a treasure.

17. Attack of the Dogs

The early morning sunlight shines through the sparse clouds and falls on the land of Aicao Town, soft and warm.

In the town, the cute little magician Nina was looking at the bounty mission issued by Lu Heng while praising her fellow adventurer:

"Douglas, you found a really good mission!"

According to Lu Heng's mission description, as long as you successfully kill the Tauren Overlord of the Mountain Territory, you can get a reward of up to 20 Imperial Coins!

The reward was so generous that it seemed as if the acting lord who issued the quest had no concern at all about whether the adventurers could complete the quest.

Moreover, this kind of mission can be taken on by a team of bronze-level adventurers!

This is 10 times the bounty of a normal bronze-level mission!

The gentle and graceful elf summoner Ennis used Douglas' nickname and said sweetly to the bastard:

"Yes, Doug. The Knight of Healing you found for us is also a very powerful Silver-level companion."

"Thanks to everything Douglas has done for us, we have finally been invited to the White Legion!"

Bronze and Silver are both levels in the Empire Adventurer grading system.

The original basis for this set of grading standards is that after the death of a spellcaster, there will usually be spiritual energy substances of different levels such as black, green, and white left over.

Black Iron corresponds to rank one;

Bronze corresponds to rank two;

Silver corresponds to rank three;

There are also corresponding correspondences for higher levels.

High-level adventurers are generally stronger and can receive commissions with higher rewards.

Therefore, under the temptation of interests, there are always adventurers who package themselves with badges that are higher than their actual rank, using this as a stepping stone to receive high-level tasks.

For example, the real ranks of the two spellcasters, Enis and Nina, are both first level, which is Black Iron.

But in order to get tasks that can better support themselves, they still bought bronze badges to wear.

To some extent, this behavior of falsely reporting levels is not entirely due to the corruption in the adventurer industry.

Because there is a characteristic of exclusive arts, which is that they do not care about "balance" at all.

The strong are very strong, the weak are very weak, and they are not the only source of combat power.

If a person's experience level is particularly high, it is possible for him to challenge higher-level spellcasters.

At least in theory, there is indeed the possibility of "although it is only the first level, it already has the actual combat power of the bronze level."

But to be on the safe side, Agnes and Nina obviously felt that the new silver-level partner would be stronger than the bronze-level Douglas.

Nina took a deep breath and said the hurtful words:

"We are going to the mountains to lead, Douglas, you have to take good care of yourself!"

Douglas lowered his head and replied in a daze:

"Ouch?"

Douglas is indeed not a human in the biological sense, but a humanoid creature with dog-like characteristics.

Common name: dog people.

He has black and white fur, dog-like eyes and ears on his head, and a dog tail below.

It looks exactly like a big human-shaped dog.

But even if they were dogs, why would Douglas want to be separated from them?

Although he had never touched their bodies, Douglas still felt immense joy during the two months of adventure with them in Wormwood Town.

In order to see Agnes and Nina smile in the morning, Douglas brought them a variety of breakfasts every day.

Rain or shine, thunder can't move.

As a... handyman in the adventurer team, he always lived frugally so that the girls would have more income to decorate themselves.

At the same time, as the only member of the team who is not fragile, he often rushes to the front line and takes damage.

Anyway, there is no healing profession in the team. If you are really injured, you can just take care of yourself.

It was thanks to his meticulous care and his quick response after entering the battlefield that Agnes and Nina had never been injured.

In addition to fighting, Douglas also looked for a larger team for the two girls in order to help them get better development space.

After going through untold hardships, Douglas finally found the Knight of Healing—a silver-level man who was willing to take them in.

However, after the incident, Douglas felt endless melancholy.

In his confused dog eyes, the whole process of him and the two girls from meeting to forming a team in Aicao Town suddenly flashed before his eyes.

That kind of vibrant and flourishing scene...

Still in front of my eyes!

After just two months, is this going to be the place where we say goodbye?

However, the dream will eventually end.

His dog ears once again heard Agnes's intelligent and gentle voice:

"Doug, you're a good man, but the Knights of Healing only invited us."

Douglas slowly opened his round dog eyes and asked timidly:

"Then...what about us?"

Agnes rolled up her long golden hair and said to the huge and gentle dog man:

"Doug, please don't be sad. You are such a good person, you will definitely meet better companions somewhere else."

I don’t know if Douglas understood, but Agnes actually wanted him to go somewhere else, preferably leave the empire.

Although the dog people are not the "beast people" being hunted by the empire, they are also quite unwelcome.

Because most of the dog people live outside the empire and are not under its control.

Unlike Agnes and Nina, they both came from Taimenia, which was conquered by the Empire.

The former Kingdom of Taimenia was famous for its powerful army, and could even compete with the Imperial Army.

But thirty years ago, the Kingdom of Taimenia quickly surrendered in the war with the Empire, which made the Empire the only hegemony in the Western Continent.

Since then, countless Taimenians have become leaders fighting for the empire.

The ways in which they can serve the Empire can include directly fighting alongside Imperials as regular troops;

It also includes becoming an adventurer and completing various commissions from the empire's lords.

Even now, when the Empire is marching eastward, there are still many Taimenians serving as adventurers or pioneers, becoming the pioneers of the Empire.

Compared with the conquered Taimenians, it is obviously more difficult for a "half-beast man" like Douglas to gain the trust of the empire.

If they insist on coming to the Empire to make a living as adventurers, they can only be upgraded to bronze level at best.

The situation is different for the Taimenians, as they can be upgraded to the highest level of Silver.

Therefore, for Enis and Nina who want to continue to advance in their careers, they really cannot grow up in the empire with a dog-like person.

In this way, Agnes and Nina said goodbye to the good dog that had been with them for more than two months.

Douglas just sat there stupidly, secretly watching them leave out of the corner of his eye.

……

The breeze gently blows the green grass, and the dew drops in the grass sparkle with crystal light.

It was the next morning and Douglas wanted to buy breakfast again.

Buy 3 copies.

Mine, Agnes's, and Nina's, the three of us, should continue to have a happy breakfast together.

Wait...that's not right!

They have already followed that "Knight of Healing"!

The three of us...are not three people anymore.

Yes, 4!

How do I know that the "Knight of Healing" will still reject me after he really sees me?

We didn't even have a good talk!

It was obviously me... I was more than 60 days ahead of him, and it was only his first day to team up with them.

How can I be sure that I will lose?

60 days versus the first day, the advantage is on the dog!

So I'm still going!

I am worried about the so-called "Knight of Healing"!

How could he defeat the Tauren Overlord?

What if I didn’t go over and he couldn’t hit me?

Douglas couldn't help but feel uneasy when he thought about this possibility.

He immediately shook his body and ran towards the mountains...

18. The elf girl is very confident

On the evening before Douglas' attack, Agnes and Nina were traveling on the mountain road in the mountains under the leadership of the "Knight of Healing".

The mountains rise and fall like a giant dragon winding and circling.

The mountain is covered with dense forests and lush greenery.

A breeze blew by, and the leaves swayed gently, making a rustling sound.

It was midsummer, and the golden afterglow sprinkled on the earth like a gentle gauze curtain, making Agnes's slender body look sweet and elegant.
