The night in the forest was quiet. There were no roars of demonic beasts or cries of cicadas.
Tang Yu walked on the gravel path. The light was dim and the environment was deep.
Nancy followed behind him as a guard, turning her head to look from time to time.
Roger was a little behind, walking on the side.
The three of them walked on the forest path, still lonely. Suddenly, Roger spoke.
"My Lord, I think you need to form an escort team."
Tang Yu hadn't spoken yet.
Nancy behind him was stunned, "I … protect … the Lord."
Roger's extraordinary aura diffused. He laughed stiffly, "Miss Nancy is certainly capable of protecting the Lord. But now there are tens of thousands of people. My Lord, you also have to pay attention to the extravagance."
"In my hometown, every time a wealthy Lord goes out, there will be an escort team accompanying him. This is not only to protect the Lord's safety, but also a manifestation of strength. It may be okay for you to go out alone in the territory, but if you go out to other territories … shelters, with your current identity, it's a bit inappropriate to travel alone, even with Miss Nancy."
Tang Yu thought about it.
In terms of personal strength, he considered himself second … third, apart from Nancy.
Nancy was enough to protect his safety.
Roger used to be a knight, regarded as half a noble. His way of thinking was different from Elaine and him.
Extravagance was not necessarily necessary. But the existence of the escort team could show strength and avoid some unnecessary trouble. He could also have more people around him to give orders. He didn't have to do everything himself.
Looks like he's hiring a secretary?
Tang Yu pondered for a while. A secretary is fine. Of course, it's best if it's a capable female secretary.
"Well, the temporary number of members of the escort team is twelve people, from …"
He was going to say from the two regiments, but after thinking about it, "Let's select from the martial arts apprentices."
Compared to the regiment members, the younger and more malleable martial arts apprentices were more loyal.
In addition to worshiping him as the strongest man in the shelter, Roger and several of his followers also subtly instilled the loyal idea of 'the leader is supreme' in their lessons.
It may be difficult for adults with sufficient experience to change their values. But these teenage boys and girls were the best training targets.
Roger clenched his fist on his left chest and replied, "Yes! I will select the best guard for my Lord. "
…
After walking on the forest trail for a few minutes, the front gradually widened, and bright lights illuminated the mine as if it were daytime.
The trees near the deep pit were all cut down and poured with cement to prevent the shrubs from growing quickly. Only the giant tree with white leaves in the center of the deep pit seemed to reach the sky, which was breathtaking.
"It seems to have grown a little bigger. There shouldn't be any problems with the Runic Array, right?"
Roger nodded. "Every half a month, Master Kevin will come to the mine to inspect the formation. There are no problems."
The formation only had a simple light and shadow effect, and it only provided a certain degree of concealment for the giant tree.
However, it was not easy to set it up. In the entire territory, only Kevin could do it.
He walked to the deep pit.
There were tall and big arrow towers all around, which made people feel at ease. The clanking sounds of mining could be heard.
The spirit stone mine worked 24 hours a day. Most of them were prisoners who had committed crimes and were escorted to the mining area to work. There were also survivors who chose to come to the mining area to earn more spirit stones.
A garrison corps brigade, 50 hunters, divided into two patrols.
When Tang Yu's trio arrived, the Garrison Regiment's hunters immediately noticed them, and a captain greeted them.
They just asked a few questions about the captured spies in the mining area.
A loud greeting came from a distance, deafening their eardrums.
A figure more than three meters tall, like a giant, walked step by step, and the stones on the ground trembled slightly.
"Good evening, my Lord."
Tyron bowed, but Tang Yu still had to look up, which made him a little uncomfortable.
Even Roger, who was like an iron tower, seemed like a child when he stood next to the golem Tyron.
… …
"In other words, there are a total of six people. One of them was accidentally killed by you, the other one is on the verge of death, and the rest are imprisoned?"
Tyron replied in a muffled voice and touched his big bald head embarrassedly with his palms.
These people were not the first batch of outsiders to spy on the mining area. Long before the formation to hide the giant tree was built, many spies had discovered this mining area. Now, those spies were either dead or had become conscientious miners, shining brightly.
After the formation was established, the giant tree was not easy to find. But the mining area was only a few kilometers away from the shelter. There were still some people with bad intentions or accidentally broke in.
But most of them were not strong.
The six spies who had just been captured were strong. If it weren't for Tyron, the Garrison Regiment hunters alone wouldn't have been able to capture them all.
"Let's go and have a look."
… …
On the edge of the pit, a three-story building was built as the miners' residence. The basement was a temporary place to hold prisoners.
Before they entered, they heard a commotion in front of them.
"Catch him."
"Don't let him escape, but be careful not to kill him."
"Fuck!"
Boom!
Not far away, a hole was blasted open in the ground, and a figure jumped out of the hole.
His clothes were torn, and he coughed blood from the corner of his mouth. But his speed was fast. A few figures flashed and appeared a hundred meters away.
Several members of the Garrison Regiment jumped out of the hole one after another and chased after him.
Seeing the distance was getting closer and they were about to catch up, the fleeing figure suddenly changed from one to two, two to four …
In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen identical figures scattered and fled into the distance.
The pursuing members of the Garrison Regiment fell into hesitation, not knowing which one to chase.
Tang Yu glanced at the figure that had fled into the forest and disappeared. He turned his head and ordered, "Nancy, catch him."
… …
Li Guming endured the pain in his body and ran non-stop. The complex terrain in the forest couldn't hinder him in the slightest.
He looked back from time to time. Although he couldn't see the pursuer, he didn't let his guard down. He split a few clones and continued to flee.
Li Guming had a lingering fear when he recalled the bald powerhouse who was too strong to be human. With just one punch, he smashed one of his subordinates into pieces …
This was a terrifying power that couldn't be resisted.
The Tree Shade actually had such a strong powerhouse!
He glanced back again. The lights of the mining area had gone far away, and the surroundings were quiet.
There was no trace of the pursuer, and there was no sound.
Li Guming slowed down his pace to minimize the noise he made.
"Fortunately, fortunately, I managed to escape and didn't ruin anything."
He turned back and was just halfway there.
His whole body trembled violently.
As if his soul was about to leave his body.
