I have a shelter

Chapter 53 The Shadow of the Giant

‘I have to look for the footprints, and I have to go to the lumber camp today! I have no time to waste. One more day and the danger will be even greater! ’

He felt that no matter what, they had the initiative now. It's better than a giant suddenly coming one day.

Instead of waiting to die in the shelter, it's better to take the initiative!

The group of followers around him were all hunters in the past. If they found any footprints on the road, they would definitely be able to spot them immediately. And when it comes to hiding and seeking or escaping in the woods, no one is more experienced than them.

'I hope this thing is gone. When I woke up, the castle had collapsed for many days. ’ Even though he was thinking this, George couldn’t help but shook his head.

After thinking for a long time, George finally decided to tell his followers about the matter.

They are in this mountain forest now, and he needs these hunters. Just like when Johannes went on a hunt, no matter how well equipped the lords and knights were, they could not lack these professionals who explored the path. And if the followers can take the initiative to take on this task and find the giant's activity area, at least they can avoid it when they are active in the mountains in the future!

Even if someone can take the initiative to stand up, there is still a chance to lure it away! !

"We may be facing the biggest challenge in history now." The lord suddenly stopped, turned around, and glanced around at everyone. His tone was a little solemn, but his eyes were extremely firm, which reminded the followers of the night when they were completely changed.

The guards of the god felt the tense atmosphere. The spears in their hands were tightened and they cast a firm look back at their lord. It's like looking up at the faith behind this spokesman of God, like the faith that is revealed every time he prays devoutly and kills enemies.

Seeing their looks, George's nervous heart was suddenly inspired. It was as if this person who once needed his constant encouragement gave him encouragement in return. It gave him immense confidence.

He looked around and continued to speak, but his tone was no longer as dignified and nervous as before: "Near our territory, there may be a stupid guy who doesn't look at Alexander, because that guy is a little taller than him. I don't know about the north. Why did those giant fools cross the mountains and appear in the Black Pearl Valley? But the village just now was probably more than just a flash flood - that big lazy thing probably attacked that place during the heavy rain. Poor village.”

After George finished speaking, he couldn't help but secretly clenched his fists.

He began to regret that he was so hot-headed that he talked about this matter too much.

But I must confess this matter truthfully and cannot hide it. Because the giant is not like a zombie, something that everyone can kill if they muster up the courage. To defeat it requires unity and wisdom.

If the subordinates are not mentally prepared and confront that extremely oppressive big thing, it is very likely that they will become distracted.

It's possible now

However, what surprised George was that the followers breathed a sigh of relief after hearing his words.

"Sir, your expression just now really shocked me. I thought God had lost his favor for us." "No." "My hometown lives in the far north. When I didn't escape from trouble before, I heard the words of my ancestors. The hunters told stories about resisting the giants - if the Black Tide hadn't come, I'm afraid the bards would still be singing those heroic stories in every tavern!" ('It's definitely not ten meters away')

Jack continued: "Yeah, those stories are all made into poems, 'Giant Catcher', 'Giant Buster', hey, what a powerful heroic name!" "Those mountain people in your hometown can do it, Then we are God’s guardians, so we can definitely do it!”

The followers were somewhat trying to cheer themselves up. After all, from the appearance of the village, they could guess the height of the giant. However, these blind believers all believe that they will have God's help in that battle - you have brought angels with you!

At this moment, the short Aji (the horse thief) suddenly asked: "Sir, if we die fighting the giant, will it be recorded in the mythology?"

The crowd suddenly fell silent. They all looked at George with wide eyes.

George stood stunned, and controlled his legs to prevent him from jumping up suddenly.

He said one word:

"meeting."

‘You’re such a fucking genius! ! ! ’ He secretly gave the little skinny monkey a thumbs up. He said in his heart: 'Sorry, big guy. It’s useless to try to motivate you now, I can only paint a pie for nothing’

He looked at the attracted eyes of everyone, nodded slightly, and continued solemnly: "You are all the guards of God. Naturally, it will be spread in the epic! And this is a battle with the legendary giant! So it will not only be spread in the Epic, and your heroic souls will also be born into nobles under the guidance of the God of Protection - otherwise, why would there be such nobles as princes and uncles in this world? "

When he said these words, George felt a little awkward. Because the essential meaning of these words is that ‘human beings are born unequal’. Going a little deeper, it is 'You are born to be enslaved by the nobles and have no chance to stand up'.

And he also believes that even if there is reincarnation in this world, it will probably not be led by some god.

Therefore, many of the gentlemen who stay in the city and enjoy the doomsday carnival are the lucky ones who have been blessed by their ancestors through the millennium of ideological blockade by virtue of their own rules.

If they had been heroes in their previous lives, they would never have turned a blind eye to the displaced refugees.

But now these words are the most effective for the current subordinates - it is like a thunder, exploding in the minds of the subordinates! The last remaining fear of giants was completely gone.

They couldn't help but discuss in a low voice. They clenched their hands in excitement, their eyes turned red, and some even started to ask for a fight!

Seeing how smoothly these people got into the lies they had spun, George breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time he didn't know what he felt in his heart.

At this time, Jack came over and said: "Sir, I don't think we should go back in a hurry. It's better to find the footprints of that thing early than to have him come to the door - those people in the territory are no more courageous than us! We can't let those people Weak villagers are facing such a big thing! And if we can set a trap in the area where he often moves, we still have a good chance of winning!"

This guy once hunted bears alone, and he believed that as long as the trap was dug deep, it didn't matter whether you could climb a tree or not, you were doomed!

George could see that the followers' positive attitude from the bottom of their hearts did not seem to be entirely due to their own future, nor was it a noble dream. This made George feel a little surprised and a little uncomfortable.

But Jack's firm gaze reminded him of two words, 'Guardian of God' and 'Honor'.

For a moment, George wondered if he had seen it wrong. But no matter what, he had to admit that he was indeed inspired by these eyes.

‘Indeed, we may not have no chance! ’

He threw away the random thoughts in his mind and his eyes sparkled slightly.

That giant is not a zombie, he is afraid of poison!

Just inside the tavern, there are still a lot of deadly poisons. If you discover the area where the giant usually moves and attack him, even if you can't kill him, it will be enough for him to rest for a while!

When the time comes, let these hunters track him down and take advantage of his illness, and they might actually kill him!

Of course, if it can stay alone and not affect the development of the territory, then I will naturally not care about it - if it runs into the territory of the countess to the west, then thank God!

But now it is impossible to say that reality depends on this unknown expectation.

Thinking of this, George said to Jack and others: "Your suggestion is very good, Jack. However, there are too many of us, and there is too much movement when we gather together. It is obviously not appropriate to search for its footprints like this. You were all hunters before. , is good at walking and hiding in the mountains and forests, so we'd better spread out. If someone really finds that guy, it's better to retreat and come back to report the situation. "

Jack nodded and took the initiative to take over the task. He was very familiar with these people and knew how to distribute them.

He suggested working in pairs, and the extra guy named 'Aji' could follow the lord and continue to the lumberyard - there might be giants there too. Aji is the most energetic and good at finding the way. With him here, you can detect its traces in advance and avoid sudden encounters.

After everyone discussed it, they decided to return to the shelter before night regardless of whether they were found during the day. Everyone also copied the map in George's hand.

These guys were drawn very simply on parchment paper and buckled tree bark. George couldn't understand it after looking at it for a long time. He believed that if he relied on this thing, he would definitely get lost in the mountains, but he had once been a The followers of the hunters and the mountain people were full of confidence.

"Mist? Sir, this is nothing. Before disaster strikes, there is often fog in the mountains." "It's good to have fog, sir! It's easier for us to move!" "There's still fog over there by the Black Lake. There are swamps and miasma. I even went there to catch crocodiles when I was so hungry."

These words reassured George a little.

Watching them leave one by one, George prayed in his heart that these guys would not leave, and then waved his handkerchief and said goodbye to these guys who got into the fog one by one.

Aji, just like his name, has a lively personality and is also thin and small. The most important thing is that he also has a pair of big eyes, which makes him look like a naughty monkey (the one who likes to steal horses and ask fairy tales).

But this guy's ability to lead is extraordinary.

"Sir, do you think we should take a more detour to find that stupid guy, or take a shortcut to the lumber mill?" Aji asked.

"Go directly there. We still have things to do over there. And if the giant has been active there, there will definitely be traces of him staying in a terrain as big as a lumberyard."

After hearing what the lord said, Aji scratched his rogue beard to express his understanding. He studied the map in the lord's hand for a while, then returned the things to the lord and started on the way.

Cutting corners - it seems this guy is not just bragging. Although this is my first time here, the road in the mountains is completely different from that on the plains. It often seems like we have taken a detour, but after sliding over a hillside, we are getting closer and closer.

Then they came to a small river, and the three of them swam down the mountain in the direction of the river below. Not long after, it really arrived.

Thanks to ‘Home Guard Akang’ and ‘Four Beds’ for the reward~
