I, a mercenary, became a beautiful silver-haired boy

Chapter 425

An inconspicuous figure rushed in from outside. It was a villager from the village in the north. Elena, who had been to the village every day this week, felt that this person looked familiar.

"Help... Help, the lizardmen attacked our village. Please go and save the village!"

The villager shouted in panic. Because he ran too hard, he was now out of breath.

Seeing the assembled team, he fell to the ground as soon as he relaxed. It was only when Fili took the initiative to help him that he got up and spoke clearly.

The news that the lizardmen attacked the village came too suddenly, and immediately caused the adventurers to whisper to each other.

Even Robert, the governor of the fortress, frowned his thick black eyebrows. It was too coincidental that a monster attacked the village at this time? And the target was a group of lizardmen.

No one would believe that it was not arranged by the damned ice dragon. It seems that the other party knew in advance that today was the day of the crusade and arranged this in advance.

It is obvious that the ice dragon intends to let the fortress allocate some troops to support the village. At that time, the already tense combat power will be weakened. It is obviously not a wise choice to face such a powerful opponent as the ice dragon.

Even if you choose to help the village first, even if you put aside the sacrifices in the battle and the preparation time required after the battle, this will delay the ice dragon for a considerable amount of time.

It is difficult to guarantee that the ice dragon will not use this delayed time to do something or simply escape directly, making the preparations made by the fortress for so much time go to waste.

There is another way to go here, that is to abandon the village attacked by the monster and take all the troops directly to the head of the ice dragon, so that there is no need to worry about this strategy of luring the tiger away from the mountain.

But doing so would be a challenge to the already poor reputation of Winter Fortress. Even if Robert's father, the Duke, had a high status, it would be difficult to suppress such an incident. His status as the governor might be difficult to maintain.

"The village was attacked? How many lizardmen are there? Take me there!"

Unlike Robert who weighed the interests, Fili threw away the task and honor of defeating the ice dragon the moment she learned that the village was attacked.

Compared with these empty things, she was obviously more worried about the destruction of the village she cared about. In the past year or so, she had already established a unique bond with the village. It was obviously impossible for her to watch the village destroyed.

"Probably... there are probably hundreds of them. I don't know the exact number, but at a glance, it's pitch black and you can't count them at all!"

The villagers said in fear, as if they recalled the scene they had just seen. Just imagining it made their bodies tremble. Those monsters who didn't know what it meant to show mercy were quite cruel.

"Hundreds?!"

People kept shouting here. Unlike the lizardmen known to the public, the lizardmen in this land of ice and snow are mixed with dragons.

Even the moderate ice dragons are beasts loyal to their desires. On a special night when they are more sentimental, the ice dragons found lizards similar to themselves and had some indescribable relationships.

And these lizardmen were born under such circumstances. Although the mixed blood of lizards and dragons is not recognized by the dragons, they are driven by the ice dragons as subordinates because they have some dragon power and physique.

It is obvious that the lizardmen ordered by the ice dragons attacked the village. This number is difficult to solve without a part of the fortress's troops.

"Hmph, let's go and fight the ice dragon!"

Robert's answer to this was disappointing as expected. This man never disappoints people. After hearing the number of lizardmen invading, he directly abandoned the village.

Reputation and the like no longer mattered. If he could really defeat the ice dragon, then the reputation of being a dragon-slaying hero would be enough to offset these "small problems".

Even if other forces of the duchy's nobles wanted to use this matter to put pressure on him, he only had to take out the concession made to defeat the ice dragon.

After all, compared to the destruction of a village, whether the ice dragon could be defeated was the most important thing. Although this was not appropriate, others really couldn't find any problems.

Such an answer directly chilled the hearts of the villagers who came for help. He had long understood what kind of character this man named Robert was, and there was a high probability that he would not get a response if he came for help.

But after the incident really happened, he couldn't help showing a desperate expression. It was indeed too difficult for him to accept the fact that the village was going to be destroyed.

"Let's go, take me there quickly."I will drive those lizardmen to the village."

Fili frowned and said, she didn't expect her governor to help, so she planned to take it all on her own.

Even if she was fighting alone, facing these lizardmen would probably just be a death.

"Adventurers, are there any of you willing to join me to save the village? ! "

Fili also understood this. She turned around and asked for help from the adventurers. Now she could only hope that these experts in conquering monsters would be willing to help.

However, what was chilling was that no adventurer responded to Fili. Compared with the thankless task of saving the existence, the adventurers who stayed here still wanted to conquer the ice dragon more.

The opportunity to become famous and rich is in front of them. It is difficult for anyone to give up these benefits that seem to be within reach.

The profession of adventurer is not a noble existence. On the contrary, there are quite a lot of selfish people. As a profession that has always been paid for work, what they hate most is meaningless efforts.

Even if they save the village and the villagers are willing to give them rewards, these rewards are definitely not comparable to what they get after conquering the ice dragon.

Fili gritted her teeth and looked at the adventurers who did not respond. An indescribable emotion surged in her heart.

No She could only place her last hope on the person who had been avoiding the other party's gaze for the past two days, that is, Elena, who wanted to defeat the ice dragon the most in the team.

The purpose of Elena's journey was to defeat the ice dragon and seize the magic core in the ice dragon's body, absorb it to greatly improve his strength, and use it to deal with the battle with Bart in the exhibition match of the exchange meeting.

Now Fili's eyes are to make Elena give up the meaning of this journey and want him to fight for some strangers.

But Elena couldn't refuse Fili's request at all. The pitiful eyes pierced Elena's heart.

Elena sighed and slowly stood up. Anyway, he didn't think the ice dragon would be defeated so easily, and it didn't matter if he followed Fili to do some good things.

Who made him drink the milk produced by so many ice crystal cows of the villagers? In return for the treat, it's not impossible for Elena to help a little.
