Vereesa, who was originally standing aside playing with Arator, seemed to have noticed something unusual, and looked warily towards the woods not far away. Aaron also hurriedly took out his shield and sword, and protected Arator, who was still a little confused and didn't know what was going on, behind him.
"Is it over there?" Aaron looked and noticed something unusual in the woods. A group of birds were circling in the air above the distant woods. Apparently something had disturbed them.
"It's the direction of Farstrider Lodge!" Vereesa determined the specific direction of the change. That's where the main force of the Ranger troops is located. Farstrider Lodge is located on the north bank of Lake Elrendar E, if Farstriders' Camp is the frontline camp for rangers to deal with the threat of Troll, Farstrider Lodge is the base camp for all rangers.
With the help of the long and narrow Lake Elrendar, the rangers can travel between the two camps by boat on the lake. Through this relatively faster transfer method, even if the rangers nail the door of the Trolls, they will not worry about being besieged by Trolls and having to abandon the camp.
This is also the reason why the rangers were able to quickly conquer Farstriders' Camp and hammer a nail into the door of Zul'Aman when the Troll had clearly taken advantage of the destruction of the High Elf's settlement and were unable to control the vast territory south of Tranquillien so they expanded their scope of activities.
Unlike Farstriders' Camp, who always needs to be alert to Troll's counterattack, Farstrider Lodge is located in the relatively safe rear. Most of the recruits who have just officially joined the Ranger force gather there, and they can also practice their skills with nearby beasts. After all, there are only the ruins of a Troll territory and a small number of Troll nearby. These Troll miscellaneous soldiers who have been defeated by the rangers can only dare to huddle in the jungle on the Lake Elrendar shore and struggle to survive.
However, there seems to be a problem on the Farstrider Lodge side. After all, there are some Forest Troll and Horde on both sides of the Lake Elrendar. Although their number is far less than that of the Amani Tribe and they lack the courage to attack the rangers, they do not pose a threat at all. However, if Amani Trolls is behind it, it is still possible for these Troll to harass the rangers over there. This is also the normal situation for Amani Trolls and the rangers to fight.
However, there is something wrong with the current situation. Even if those Trolls of small Horde attack the rangers, most of them retreat at the slightest contact and do not dare to confront the rangers head-on. However, looking at the movement over there, it seems that the situation is different from usual.
"Want to have a look?"
"Let's go and take a look. Although the direction seems to be over there, the distance seems to be a bit close to us." Vereesa hesitated a little, then looked at Liadrin apologetically and said, "Liadrin, please take Arator back to the city. Aaron and I will go over there and have a look."
Liadrin waved his hand and pulled Arator, who was reluctant to leave, towards Silvermoon City.
Seeing that Liadrin had left, Aaron did not waste any time, summoned the snow-colored griffon and took Vereesa to fly towards the direction of the commotion.
Flying in mid-air, Aaron saw that there was a road hidden in the forest outside Silvermoon City leading to Farstrider Lodge, but the turbulent woods were not close to that road.
After looking at the direction, Aaron drove the griffon to a place not far from the incident, where the two landed on the ground. He didn't want to fly too close. If he was shot down from the sky by the Trolls again, although he himself might not be in trouble, it would be more difficult to protect Vereesa.
Besides, since the situation is unclear now, it is definitely not a good idea to approach hastily from mid-air. Moving forward in the forest can at least reduce the conspicuousness.
After falling into the forest, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble caused by his armor, Aaron did not rush to put on the armor, but quietly followed Vereesa towards the destination.
As they continued to get closer, Aaron gradually heard the sounds coming from over there: the sound of arrows whizzing through the air, the screams of pain from being hit by arrows, the excited howls of Trolls... these noises The noise caused by Aaron walking in the forest was covered up by the noise. There was no way, covert operations cannot be learned in a short time. Aaron could only reduce the sense of presence as much as possible, but in the end it was not professional enough.
Seeing that the enemy was getting closer and closer, Vereesa acted more and more cautiously. He had already held the bow and arrow in his hand, waiting to shoot an arrow first when he saw the enemy.
"It's right behind here." Vereesa whispered to Aaron. After that, he ducked, bypassed the obstacle of the tree trunk in front, quickly shot an arrow, and then flashed back behind the tree trunk. Then he started to move in a way that Aaron couldn't understand. Presumably, he was trying to avoid the enemy discovering his hiding place.
But Vereesa dodged. Aaron didn't know how to fight in the dense forest. He sighed, quickly put on his armor, and held on to his shield. Aaron wanted to rush out from behind the tree, but an idea flashed in his mind, but he gave up on this Recklessness action of directly exposing himself to the enemy's eyes.
The Trolls who had just received a cold arrow had been paying attention to the movement here. Seeing an active target appearing behind the tree trunk again, the axes that had been prepared for a long time had already flown over.
Just when the Trolls were still wondering why these enemies had become so stupid that they came out of the same position twice, they heard the sound of gold and iron clashing. They turned around and saw only a shining golden shield. This shield was obviously different in shape from the shields used by the elves, but it reminded the Trolls who turned to look here of an extremely difficult enemy they had encountered only a few years ago.
Feeling the sound coming from the shield, Aaron breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he had anticipated the actions of these Trolls and blocked the blow with his shield, otherwise he would not have the confidence to dodge the extremely skilled flying axes of these Trolls.
After waiting for a while and realizing that the Trolls did not continue to attack him, Aaron put down his shield slightly and poked half of his head out from behind the tree trunk to check the situation in front of him: Aaron could see a large number of Trolls There were about a dozen of them. The elf rangers used the trees in the forest to deal with these Trolls. However, the rangers seemed to be worried about something and were always circling this small patch of woods. This also led to the fact that although they had the advantage of terrain and numbers, they were never able to capture these Trolls.
Seeing that most of the Troll's attention was focused on restraining the rangers who kept jumping out from behind the trees to launch attacks, Aaron simply identified a Troll that was within his attack range, waved his hand and fired a Hammer of Justice, knocking that Troll to the ground.
Before the Trolls could react, Aaron quickly stepped out and swung out the shield in his hand, hitting an unresponsive Troll. Then he stabbed forward with his long sword and knocked the Troll down to the ground.
After succeeding, Aaron did not bother, took a few steps back, leaned on the tree trunk, and prepared a defensive posture to guard against the group of Troll that had already surrounded him.
Four Forest Trolls wrapped in rags held weapons and surrounded Aaron with ferocious smiles on their faces. Their eyes were full of murderous intent. Aaron didn't bother with them. He covered himself with a layer of Divine Shield, and then he collided with Troll in front of him.
After knocking down the unsuspecting Troll, Aaron quickly stabilized his steps, stepped on the opponent with one foot, quickly extended the long sword in his hand, and sealed his throat with one sword.
Before the other three Trolls gathered around, the shield flew out from Aaron's hand and knocked over one again. The remaining two Trolls looked at each other, staggered slightly, and attacked Aarons from both sides.
Aaron watched the two Troll approaching him, and rolled on the spot without hesitation. When he stood up, he was already behind one of them. He stabbed it with a sword and hit a shield. The Troll fell to the ground.
Seeing that all his companions had rushed to the street in the blink of an eye, the Troll that was left felt a chill in his heart, and turned around to escape back to the woods. He had already recognized that the Paladin in front of him was a human, although Paladin knew that his attack would be difficult to break his innocence, but he was very confident and slow-moving. He was hiding and seeking in the woods. Unexpectedly, before he could turn around, he heard a familiar roar behind him, and then his vision went dark and he fell to the ground.
Before this Troll lost consciousness, it only heard a slightly frustrated cry, "Who snatched my head?!"
