"Martha, Irene, you can't blame me for this. Taking the water route is the safest and most time-saving route. If you take the land route, you'll be even more tired, and it will take nearly twice as long. Can you tolerate that?"

Martha and Irene had to continue rowing with a bitter face.

Patience and Rachel on the side were paddling with their heads down and panting.

"If I had known earlier, I would have rented a floating ship from the Crystal Temple!"

Ellie looked depressed and sighed.

"Come on, we don't have that kind of spare money!"

Odyssey's words caused the four of them to glare at him.

The culprit for their lack of money is right in front of them.

Facing the gazes of his teammates, Odyssey smiled awkwardly.

“Um…I’m sorry!”

The four of them rowed the boat in silence.

"Captain, no matter how much money you donate, it won't reach those children!"

After a long time, Rachel spoke first, breaking the silence on the boat.

Rachel's words made Odyssey frown slightly.

"Rachel, what do you mean?"

Odyssey looked at Rachel, who had no expression on her face, with a puzzled look on his face.

A hint of hesitation flashed in Rachel's eyes as she paddled.

He didn't know whether he should tell the captain the truth.

As a Crystal Paladin, the captain is inexperienced and unaware of the cruelty of the world.

The other three also looked at Rachel with curiosity.

They support the captain's decision to sponsor the orphanage.

After all, those children are descendants of adventurers.

As adventurers, how could they remain indifferent?

Finally, Rachel decided to tell the truth.

"Captain, you should know that I'm a mercenary. During those years as a mercenary, I experienced a lot. Some of these things may be completely unimaginable to you, but what I'm about to say is the truth, the facts I witnessed with my own eyes."

Rachel's words made the four of them look curious.

They were curious about what Rachel would say next.

"Do you know why the orphanage in Locke Town only adopts girls?"

Martha raised her hand.

"I know, I know, because the boys were adopted by the Minutemen!"

The Minutemen are militia organizations in various human towns.

It is an armed organization funded by local merchants and nobles.

Although it is an auxiliary organization of the regular army, it is not under the jurisdiction of the lord.

Mainly responsible for guarding the security of local towns.

Rachel's face darkened and she paddled hard.

"That's the case on the surface, but secretly it's another story. During the years I was a mercenary, I once saw girls from the Locke Town orphanage in the slave traders' caravans. Some of them were adults, while others were still children!"

"This...this is impossible!"

Rachel's words made the four of them look surprised.

Martha immediately retorted, glaring.

"The director of the orphanage is Sister Tatalu. She was born into the Crystal Temple. How could she do such a thing?"

As a crystal priestess, Martha will never allow others to desecrate the Crystal Temple.

"Rachel, could it be that you saw it wrong?"

Odysseus also didn't believe that Sister Tatalu would do such a thing.

In Odyssey's mind, Sister Tatalu has always been a kind lady.

"maybe!"

Rachel didn't argue with her companions.

He also knew that it would be hard for his companions to believe this.

Sometimes, if you don’t see it with your own eyes, you won’t believe what others say.

After that, the boat became quiet.

Only the sound of oars paddling in the water echoed.

The five people all had worried expressions on their faces.

Although the four of them didn't quite believe what Rachel said.

But they knew exactly what kind of person Rachel was.

Rachel wouldn't talk nonsense for no reason.

The four of them also knew that as a Crystal Demon Hunter, Rachel had far more life experience than them.

After a long moment, Martha turned around and looked at Rachel behind her.

"Rachel, I'm sorry, I'll look into this matter thoroughly!"

The three of them smiled at each other after hearing what Martha said.

"Martha, please investigate this matter thoroughly when you get back..."

Before Irene could finish her words, her voice suddenly stopped.

She stood up and looked at the river behind the boat with a look of surprise and doubt.

The other four people seemed to have noticed something as well, and their expressions changed slightly.

They put away their oars and picked up their weapons.

"Don't move, keep rowing!"

Odyssey's face darkened and he whispered.

The four of them continued to paddle calmly.

"Captain, what is that?"

Martha looked a little nervous.

The rhythm of the rowing oars seemed a bit chaotic.

Rachel behind him glanced down at the black shadow that flashed by in the water.

"It should be the swamp lizardman!"

Looking down at the river from the sky.

A large number of dark shadows swam in groups under the boat.

This process lasted for half an hour.

Half an hour later, the movement in the water disappeared.

"Captain, have we encountered migrating swamp lizardmen?"

Patience wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Fortunately, the swamp lizardmen had no time to care about them.

Otherwise, the five of them would be finished.

With so many lizardmen, no matter how strong they are, they are no match for the swamp lizardmen in the water.

"Captain, look over there!"

Just then, Irene screamed.

The four of them looked in the direction of the sound and frowned.

Just ahead on the north bank is a wider expanse of water.

It was an endless swamp.

There's movement at the border of the swamp and the Goblin River.

A large number of lizardmen came ashore from the deep water and waded into the swamp.

A dark mass of swamp lizardmen moved away to the north in groups.

And in the back, swamp lizardmen were still coming ashore from the deep water.

The five people on the small boat on the river watched this scene silently.

"They're all lizardmen with weapons, it doesn't look like they're migrating!"

"Could it be a tribal war between barbarians?"

"It has nothing to do with us. Row quickly and get out of this troubled place!"

Rachel was the first to react.

Now is not the time to watch the fun.

The best thing to do is to stay away from this place of trouble.

The captain's reminder made the four people react.

The four of them rowed the boat hard.

The speed of the boat suddenly increased, going upstream.

Just as the five people on the boat were looking at the lizardmen in the swamp.

The lizardmen in the swamp were also looking at the small boat on the river.

"They are human adventurers, Elder Chilin. Do you want to deal with them?"

Among the lizardmen army that came ashore, three were looking at the river.

One of the three lizardmen was particularly eye-catching.

It has a body covered in red scales.

He seems a little out of place among the other lizardmen.

"Human adventurers are troublesome and powerful. Now is not the time to cause trouble."

"Let's go, don't forget our purpose!"

Chi Lin withdrew his gaze from the river with an expressionless face.

Turn around and continue forward with the army.

Seeing this, the other two lizardmen hurriedly followed.

Looking down at the swamp from the sky, the marching lizardman army was a dark mass.

It's like a dark cloud moving towards the north.

The number is no less than five thousand.

Five days later, morning, Grayscale Tribe.

The Black Mountain tribe army entered the tribe from the northwest.

The small tribe was instantly submerged in the vast ocean of people.

"Elder Chilin, these are all empty. They have been empty for a long time!"

Standing in the tribe, Chilin looked around at the surrounding wooden houses on the water.
