31. Philon City Soldiers (4500, please read)(1/2)
"That's it, let's set off."
After breakfast the next morning, Fisher pulled the carriage out of the cave again, and Corili and the others behind him also came out to see them off.
"Is your next stop the city of Philon?"
"Well, I'm just passing by."
"Ah, I heard many demi-humans say that the city lord Philon there is a very good human being."
"Good guy?"
Fisher had some interest. Most of the humans who came to the Southern Continent came for wealth. The traditional theoretical virtues seemed to be far from them. Even Fisher himself did not dare to claim to be a good person. Unexpectedly, in a
I heard a positive comment about a human being from a demi-human.
"It's just a rumor. He adopted many demi-human children who lost their families."
"Maybe he was doing experiments, or he had a particularly disgusting hobby towards children, or maybe he was a collector."
Fisher jokingly used the worst guess on the city lord, but if it was a rumor, it should come from a demihuman...
Corili said goodbye to Fisher again without comment. After Fisher put the hat on his head and urged the horses to leave with a riding crop, he also said goodbye to the three demi-humans.
"Farewell... you'd better find another way to survive, and don't trust humans too much."
Sia and Famasi, who was injured by him and still wrapped in bandages, opened their mouths and looked at the carriage getting farther and farther away, but still didn't understand the meaning of his words.
It was Ke Lili who patted the two of them first and floated back into the cave.
"What are you still doing in a daze? Go back... But what he said is right, pack up your things and let's hide in the mountains. After all, there will be a war here soon..."
...
...
Fisher drove forward for less than half a day, and the dragons became acquainted with Fisher. They no longer spent all their time hiding in the carriage compartment. Lar liked to squeeze in with Fisher in that narrow space.
on the driver's seat of the carriage.
Then while pointing to the wilderness outside, he told Fisher that it was something in the southern continent.
Although they live in the far south of the continent, she said that there are often traders from the north going south, including humans and demi-humans, and they can learn many things about the north from their mouths.
There are indigenous humans in the Southern Continent, some places are more primitive and some are not so primitive, but at most they are only in villages. After the humans from the Western Continent landed on this land, most of them were scattered and fled.
Humans are cruel to demi-humans, and they are no better to their own kind.
The local mines and city handymen are full of locals who are treated like animals, while the women's branch is full of their wives and daughters. I have heard such propaganda before in Keken City. I heard that the West
Merchants from the mainland also transported a group of indigenous people back to the Western Continent to let the nobles there have a taste of the "exotic customs."
"Bang! Bang!"
Gunshots were heard in the distance, and Fisher immediately patted Lar's back, who was about to fall asleep in his arms.
"Go back to the carriage and ask the others to go back as well. There is a situation ahead."
"Um!"
Lal rubbed his eyes and called his companions who were blowing air next to them to get into the car. Rafael was the last one to get in, but there was a thin crack in the door behind Fisher, with a pair of green eyes inside.
Looking outside.
The carriage then moved forward, and soon saw many soldiers in uniforms lining up, pointing their guns at the forest in front of them.
"Sir, sir, please stop!"
"What happened in front?"
A noncommissioned officer with obviously different clothes and appearance stopped Fisher's carriage. After seeing Fisher's clothes, he took off his hat and explained,
"Ah, we are soldiers from the city of Hamat in the east. Goblins often attack people passing by on this road. We were ordered by the city lord to come and clear it out. Unexpectedly, some remaining goblins escaped here. You can take a detour.
, you can also wait until we finish dealing with those goblins, it won’t take much time.”
Fisher followed Corili's suggestion and took a detour to avoid unnecessary trouble. The only road ahead was the one leading to the city of Philon.
"I'll wait here for a moment."
"Okay, we will be over soon." The noncommissioned officer smiled at Fisher, then put on his hat and shouted to the soldiers in front, "Hurry up and force them out, and try to get back before night.
!”
"Yes, sir! Follow my orders and set fire!"
Behind the soldiers who were pointing their guns at the woods, several soldiers threw fire bottles into the jungle in front. A pungent smell was blown by the wind from the front, and then the forest that had existed for who knows how long
A fire began to burn.
"The science is so big, Ula~"
As the smoke grew thicker, several two-meter-tall humanoid creatures with fangs and green skin rushed out of the forest. They were goblins. A dozen of them were holding stone axes.
The spear's male goblin's clothes were burned black, but he still roared and rushed towards the humans outside.
"Fire!"
But the result can be imagined. With a volley of muskets, the tall goblins fell to the ground one by one. The one who screamed the most fiercely was almost beaten into a hornet's nest.
In less than one volley, the last remaining remnants were basically wiped out.
"Sir, there are goblins behind you!"
"oh?"
The flames behind him gradually grew stronger, and more male goblins emerged from the forest one after another than before, but their heights were obviously wrong compared to the previous stronger goblins.
The last ones to come out were a group of female goblins who were only about 1.5 meters tall. They were in a very embarrassed state, and even their clothes were burned to the point where they could no longer cover their bodies. However, they still walked out slowly with open hands, and behind them
, you can vaguely see the figures of a group of children hiding behind their mothers.
This is the last remnant of a tribe.
Fisher frowned, his eyes gradually deepened, and the temperature behind him gradually increased.
But the leader laughed, and then waved his hands to fire. But he didn't even need an order. His soldiers had long been used to it. Before the leader's hand fell, dense bullets were fired at those who showed no resistance.
Goblin female.
"Ke Tu Tu... Shute!"
As the goblin women fell, they screamed words that Fisher could not understand, and frantically protected their children behind them, but just like their husbands and sons, their physical bodies soon lost their breath.
Fell to the ground.
"Reload!"
The soldiers rotated ammunition again, and saw that after all the female goblins fell, the naive and ignorant children stood up from their mother's side in tears and looked around blankly at the surviving children.
"open...."
"Roar!"
A meteor with fire suddenly exploded behind Fisher, and rushed out of his carriage in an instant, blowing Fisher's hat into the air.
But even faster than the wind, the red figure was spinning at high speed in mid-air, rushing past the group of people lined up like a top. Wherever it went, the soldiers were knocked away one after another, and fragments of firearms and
His fingers landed on the ground stained red with blood.
"ah!"
"What is that! So fast!"
"Wait, the backup line up!"
The soldiers lined up in front were in chaos, but soon under the command of the commander, more soldiers lined up and pointed to the wilderness in front of the dense forest where the smoke was caused by the movement of red meteors.
The fire behind them burned down the tall trees. At this moment, next to the dazed goblin children, a tall red dragon man breathed slowly and looked into the distance with eyes that seemed to be about to burn.
of soldiers.
The hat in the sky fell again and fell into Fisher's hand. He blew the dust on it and silently looked at Rafael in the distance without saying a word. The cane was placed at his feet at some point.
.
"That's the dragon race!"
The officer saw the long red horns that the woman had, and of course he also saw her scales that were spread out like armor.
"You even kill children! Damn humans!"
Rafael roared, and a huge amount of steam erupted from his whole body, and then burned like a meteor, rushing towards the group of humans who were pointing guns at her.
"shot!"
A gun bullet hit her bursting stream of steam, causing a harsh friction sound and a large number of sparks bursting out. Rafael let out a deep "hmm", but still rushed into the crowd. A moment later.
, the sound of cracking bones and the sound of blood flowing could be heard endlessly, and many soldiers were thrown away by her and fell to the ground.
"Sir, I request the use of that one!"
"...Um."
The sergeant nodded silently, then took off a ring from his hand and whispered, "Fall."
