That's very badass

Chapter 42 Exploration (Part [-])
The warm sunlight shining on the stronghold was originally a beautiful picture, but because of the dead silence of the stronghold and the half-hidden door, it looked a little weird.

Roland pushed open the concealed door, and at a glance, they were all houses in the style of trolls, and occasionally animals walked through them, as if they had been abandoned for a long time.

Roland observed carefully, the gate and everything inside did not seem to have any traces of war.

There were no traces of hacking with knives and axes on the wall, nor were there dark blood stains.

Walking into a house, I wiped it with my hands, and found a layer of light dust on the table.The tables and chairs inside are also intact, with only the occasional chair tipped over, possibly by a troll or an animal.

There was still a rabbit huddled in the corner, its limbs stood on tiptoe, as if it was ready to escape at any time.

There is no tableware in the whole room. Of course, it is not that trolls do not use tableware. Although they are barbaric, they still like to eat cooked food.

Anyone who has been exposed to fire, there is no one who does not like cooked food.

After the soldiers searched, there was nothing useful in this stronghold except these wooden houses and furniture.

Obviously, the trolls here retreated relatively calmly. Judging from the dust, it should also be last winter.

There was still no information, watching the shadow on the ground slowly lengthen, and his stomach protesting, Roland felt hungry.

He hadn't had lunch yet. Looking at the soldiers with firm eyes in front of him, Roland felt a wave of peace of mind.

"Buy the pot and make a meal."

Following Roland's order, he quickly took out the required utensils and food from the storage space.The soldiers spontaneously divided into two teams, one team went to guard the outside, and the other team made food inside.

Facing these soldiers who were determined to be on duty, Roland gave up this idea after persuading him several times.

They are also used to the strange words that Roland utters from time to time, such as burying a pot to make a meal, the meaning is simple and easy to understand, but it is a bit awkward to read, and they don't know how adults are used to it.

Roland would not know the complaints of the soldiers.He leaned against the wall, facing some glaring sunlight, pulled down his mask, and quietly enjoyed the hard-won peace and warmth.

Before he knew it, he had changed from a standing posture to a sleeping posture, but there was no snoring sound.

Roland must be the first in every battle, standing in front of the enemy, galloping in the shadow of blood and swords, killing the enemy is useless.

He often finds the most difficult enemy, and he must kill him in every battle, which makes the soldiers respect him from the bottom of their hearts.

Looking at the sleeping Roland, the soldiers didn't feel it and relaxed their movements.

It wasn't until a burst of aroma came that Roland sniffed and stood up, only to realize that the food had been prepared for a long time.Only the small fire on the ground was still burning slowly.

"What are you doing? When the food is ready, eat first, why wait for me. Since you are all in such good spirits, we will continue to explore the east of the Evernight Forest later."

Hearing the uniform response, Roland couldn't help but feel a little headache, these soldiers are really boring.Not complaining, loyal to the monarch, fearless of death, no days of flattery, really boring.

"Okay, let's ask the brothers who are patrolling outside the city to have dinner together, and we will set off after eating."

As soon as the voice fell, a soldier quickly ran to call someone.He looked a little guilty, what a good guy, he was starved to death.

Leaving gossip aside, after lunch, the shadow has already stretched very long, and it is estimated that the sun will be setting soon, but Roland still decided to check out the situation of the troll.

This matter has been held in his heart for several months, and the bottom of his heart has long been scratched by the cat, and today's accident has intensified his determination.

He doesn't want himself to be anyone's pawn, he wants to gain a place to stand on, and he has had enough of the arrogance of these nobles and the threat from the orcs.

Looking at the entire history of civilization, perhaps at the beginning, it was just a struggle for survival; but when tribes and city-states were formed, interests became the main theme more often, and it was all about killing and fighting.

Walking in the forest, there are only bare poles left on the tall trees, and the tender seedlings on the ground have just begun to sprout, but the trunks are dense enough to block the sunlight, making the whole forest look dark and lonely.

Gradually, the sky became completely dark. Fortunately, it was not a momentary solar eclipse, which gave people the time to get used to the darkness, but they couldn't see for a long time.

Except for the sound of footsteps and the occasional clash of armor, the entire march was dull and boring.

Under Roland's guidance, they passed through the Evernight Forest.

The bright moon hangs high in the ink-like curtain, the stars are brilliant, and the moonlight pours down like mercury, illuminating the earth with a silvery white.

Looking at the lush grassland in front of him, and the Hengduan Mountains in the distance connected to the North Wind Fortress, Roland took a deep breath, and was moved by the uncanny craftsmanship of nature.

This is a piece of fertile soil surrounded by the Evernight Forest, holding up a handful of soil and smelling its fragrance.

This is my land!
"Everyone, a small team of 10 people, scattered search, if you find the trolls, don't fight, retreat immediately. If there is danger, light the torch."

"Regroup here later."

All the soldiers began to consciously divide into small groups and scattered away, leaving only a small group of 10 standing still, and they expressed that they would follow Roland.

Looking at the shadowy figure in front of him, Roland led the team and walked forward.

An hour later, in the same place.

"Have you found anything?"

"No, my lord." "No." . .

Seeing that everyone found nothing, there is only the last team left.I haven't come back yet, it seems that I have discovered something.

Not long after, the last team also returned.

They came with the not-so-bad news that they had found a road that had been trampled for a long time.

Roland thought for a while and then decided to follow this road to find the troll tribe. Although the moonlight was a bit bright tonight, the distant firelight could always be seen first.

He led the soldiers to find this road, and found that it was already covered by green grass, but it could be vaguely seen that this was a frequently passed road.

They walked straight down this road, and suddenly a huge city outline appeared in front of them, and a huge stone monument stood in the very center of the city.

It's just that there is no fire on the city wall, and it is impossible to tell whether there is anyone on duty from a distance.

As for the door opening, it covered the moonlight, and it was pitch-black, like a ferocious beast that would choose someone to devour.

This time Roland decided to go to investigate alone without bringing any soldiers, because his level 6 iron bone is the best protection, and he can check how many people are still in the city.

After persuasion, or under orders, these soldiers stayed here obediently.

And he, after taking off the plate armor that would expose him, lifted a large piece of grass and put it on his body, slowly crawling forward.
