The Knight's Journey to the Empire

Soran's expression suddenly became serious!

Because it's so quiet around!

It's eerily quiet!

There was no sound except the rustling of the branches due to the wind and the leaves rubbing against each other!

Especially the sounds of insects!

This is very wrong!

You know, this is the deep mountains and old forests in the wild, the place with the most and wildest insects!

Besides, it’s spring now, the season when all things come back to life, and animals reproduce, mate, and produce offspring!

So how could it be so quiet around here, without any sound of insects!

Then there is only one possibility!

There's something going on around here!

"Everyone, please pay attention, be alert, and be aware of the situation around you!"

"Have you noticed that it's too quiet around here? Something might be wrong! Don't fall asleep, okay?" Sauron reminded everyone loudly.

"Yes, sir!" Immediately, everyone perked up and began to carefully observe the surrounding situation.

Because after the lord’s reminder just now, they suddenly realized that the surrounding environment was indeed too quiet!

It's so quiet that it's scary!

But unfortunately, after carefully observing the area, they still found nothing.

“Goboro, you should also pay attention over there and observe the surrounding situation carefully! We are sitting higher and have a wider field of vision, so it is easier for us to observe the surrounding situation than them!” Soran said to the person behind him without turning his head.

"Yes, Lord!" Gobolo behind him responded solemnly.

This Goboro was the one who was noticed by Soran because of his strong willpower during the recruitment assessment of the Knight Guard.

During tonight's night duty mission, he was assigned by Ramos to Master Sauron's team.

The people around him who were on night duty all looked at Gobolo with envy.

Because at this time, the two of them were sitting on a simple platform in the middle of the camp, observing the surrounding situation with their backs to each other, and chatting from time to time.

Looks very friendly!

..............................

"Goboro, which village are you from?" Soran asked.

Of course, talking is one thing and asking is another!

But his eyes were still scanning the surroundings, keeping alert.

"My lord, I'm from Flanders Town!" Gobolo answered respectfully.

"How old are you? How's your family situation? Are you doing well?" Soran continued to ask casually.

In fact, as Goboro was one of his key focus targets, Sauron knew all these situations.

But he asked this just to bring up the topic and ease the tense atmosphere.

After all, Gobolo is a country bumpkin who has never seen the world!

Even with his back to him, Soran could still feel his nervousness.

"My lord, I'm 20 years old now! There are six people in my family now, and we live pretty well! Since I was recruited into the territory guard, the burden on my family has been reduced! And there is still some money to supplement the household expenses!" Gobolo answered respectfully.

But his tense body, slightly trembling voice, and uncomfortably placed legs had already exposed his mood.

How could he not feel nervous!

The lord is a baron!

And I am just an ordinary civilian, but I can sit so close to the master!

And he had his back to the nobles!

"So what are your plans for the future?" Soran asked the question he wanted to ask most.

"Plans?" Goboro hesitated for a moment, then became even more nervous: "I don't have any plans. I will just stay in the Knight Guards and serve the lord loyally!"

What are your plans?

Master, are you suspecting that you have second thoughts?

But?

How dare I!

Of course, Soran did not suspect that Goboro had any ulterior motives, he was just asking!

Just like in the companies of the previous life, the bosses asked their subordinates about their career plans and life goals!

But just as he was about to continue asking, he heard Gobolo pointing in a direction and saying, "Master, the body of the jungle wolf over there seems to have moved a little!"

Suddenly, Soran no longer cared about anything else and looked in the direction he pointed.

But there were only dead coyotes over there.

This is where Soran ordered his men to collect and pile up the carcasses of the jungle wolves.

It was not very far from the camp fence, only about twenty meters.

At first, there were too many corpses there, so Sauron did not order anyone to clean it up.

Soran didn't know which one Goboro was referring to, so he asked: "Which one do you mean?"

"It's the second closest to our camp. It looks bigger than the surrounding wolves. I remember it was the third closest, but now it's the second!" Goboro explained.

After listening to it, Soran knew which one he was talking about.

The body of the jungle wolf was indeed quite large, and Soran could clearly see bright red blood on it.

Moreover, it is relatively close to the camp, perhaps only about fifteen or sixteen meters away.

This is a very dangerous distance!

So Sauron ignored everything else and directly used the ability of the Arcane Eye to observe!

If the Warcraft Wolf King is preparing for a sneak attack, the Arcane Eye should be able to see its information.

Sure enough, when he used the Arcane Eye to take a look, a box visible only to him popped up:

"Warcraft Jungle Wolf, low-level Warcraft, combat power rating: average."

"First, the Warcraft Jungle Wolf has no ranged attack capabilities, but it runs fast, has sharp claws and fangs, and is treacherous and cunning, and very vengeful. When fighting, you should be careful of its sneak attacks, and it is appropriate to use ranged attacks to kill it."

"Second, the Magical Beast Jungle Wolf evolved from eating special magical plants. It is of average value. Its fur is suitable for making decorations. Its fangs and claws have certain value. Its meat is edible and can enhance physical fitness."

Soran's eyes suddenly became solemn!

It's so insidious and cunning, it's hard to guard against!

This guy actually got so close to the camp.

But he did not make any noise, but quietly picked up the hunting bow next to him.

Bending the bow, drawing the arrow, aiming and shooting, Sauron's archery movements were extremely fast and completed in one go!

You know, as an excellent knight, Soran’s archery skills are also pretty good!

With a "bang" sound from the bow, the arrow shot out and directly nailed the monster jungle wolf to the ground.

"Ah!" The ferocious jungle wolf suddenly let out a mournful cry!

Then, in the surrounding dense forest, as if receiving a signal, pairs of green eyes suddenly rang out.

These green eyes are densely packed and breathtaking, and there are no less than a hundred pairs of them!

All the night duty personnel suddenly felt a chill in their hearts and their scalps went numb!

Goboluo even stood up directly and shouted tremblingly: "Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Get up quickly and prepare for defense..."
