That night, the caravan stayed in the village's house for the night. For dinner, they ate the food they brought from the carriages.
At this time, other than the coachmen who were sleeping in the carriage, everyone else was gathered in the house with serious expressions.
"I've already reported the situation to the Guild. They'll be sending a team to investigate further." Ling Yi said to everyone.
"I've also reported the situation to the Empire. We'll be receiving reinforcements soon." Nuo Na said.
This meant that this mission could be dangerous.
The Demon King rested his chin on his hand, yawning as he looked at them.
"First, we need to decide whether or not to stay in the village and wait for reinforcements." Ling Yi said as he looked at Nuo Na and Ai Lan.
Nuo Na thought for a while and said, "From the way things are going, we don't have much time to waste. At most, we only have one day. I want to ask if the Guild's reinforcements will arrive tomorrow."
Ling Yi shook his head and said, "I can't guarantee that."
"I heard that the Adventurer's Guild has a flying team. They should be able to get here in less than a morning." Nuo Na asked.
"Yes, but from the looks of it, the Guild won't send them unless something serious happens." Ling Yi frowned as he replied.
Nuo Na sighed and said: "As expected, it's really inconvenient to have your union do things. Besides, this is an important transportation mission, and your union only sent you guys to do it. That's not very appropriate."
Hearing this, the Qing and Lan adventurers all frowned, their faces darkening.
The atmosphere became tense all of a sudden.
Ling Yi coughed dryly and said, "I understand that the two of you are confused about this. But please believe in my team's strength. They're all Orange Adventurers. It's just that because of the Guild's internal reasons, they didn't choose to be promoted."
Nuo Na gave a disdainful smile and said: "Then what happened today? If it weren't for us, the situation would have been much worse. Besides, we have to thank a certain guard for not causing any casualties, otherwise …."
"I was too careless! I'm really sorry! But please don't doubt the strength of others! "
Suddenly, Alan stood up, and the stool behind her was pushed to the ground, making a loud noise.
She lowered her head, her face full of self-blame. The little white creature, on the other hand, seemed to think that its owner was in danger. It stood on the table and glared angrily at Nona.
Nona turned her face away, her attitude very unfriendly.
Lucia smiled awkwardly and didn't say anything. From her point of view, she really shouldn't have helped the other party.
"Ai Lan, sit down. It's not your fault. As the captain, I shouldn't have put you in danger. It's my fault," Ling Yi said.
After a few seconds, Alan sat down. Because she forgot that the stool was on the ground, she sat on the ground. Suddenly, there was a burst of laughter.
Everyone looked at the source of the laughter. That's right, it was Richard. Only he would laugh in such a serious situation.
After all, to him, this was just a child's quarrel.
Alan lowered her head and sat down quietly. She didn't make a sound during the entire meeting.
"Hmph, let's get back to the topic. I can only say so much about the defense force. The rest is up to you to decide. Go or wait, it's all up to you, Mr. Lu. "
Ling Yi's face was a bit ugly. After all, the other party had already made it clear.
Nona didn't say anything either. It seemed like she couldn't make up her mind.
The Demon King wasn't interested in what they were discussing. He just wanted to end it quickly so he could go back and have a good sleep.
However, something unexpected happened.
"Um, I don't think it's appropriate to just let us decide." At this time, Lucia suddenly spoke.
"Oh, then what do you think, Mr. Lu?" Ling Yi asked.
Lucia smiled and said, "I think we should listen to today's hero, who is also the only orange adventurer here."
Hearing this, the Demon King took a deep breath.
He didn't think that this person would trick him. He couldn't tell that she was this kind of person!
Suddenly, everyone's eyes gathered on the Demon King.
"My opinion?"
The Demon King rubbed his chin.
Of course he wanted to leave immediately. But if he really did that, he would have to take responsibility if something happened. He might even be fired from his position. In the worst case scenario, he might even be convicted.
But if he waited, it might take a few more days …
"I think it's better to leave on time."
The Demon King said.
When these words came out, some people were happy and some were sad. Nona didn't say anything, only Ling Yi smiled.
"Can you tell us the basis of your judgment, Mr. Richard?"
Lucia asked.
Reasons? This kind of thing was like water in a sponge. As long as you're willing to squeeze, there will always be some.
"First of all, based on today's situation, there is a possibility that the shapeshifting monsters have sneaked into the surrounding villages. That means there might be more than one shapeshifting monster hiding here.
If this is true, then they probably haven't realized that their companions have been exposed, so they are still in disguise. If their target isn't us, then they will continue to hide. I also heard the word 'plan' from the shapeshifting monster. It's just that someone was too decisive, so they lost the chance to know the plan. "
As he said this, Nona suddenly trembled. She looked at the Demon King with dissatisfaction.
"So, if we stay here outside of the schedule, we will only alert them and cause more trouble for the investigation team. Secondly, if their target is us, then … "
"Then the time for them to make their move will be tonight." Ling Yi suddenly said. He had an expression of sudden realization as he looked at the Demon King excitedly.
"So that's how it is. So if we don't get attacked, then we should leave immediately." Lucia said.
"Then can't we just say that there is a problem with our car, or that we are waiting for more people?" Nona said unhappily.
"Shapeshifting monsters are very suspicious. There is a risk in doing that. They might take the villagers as hostages again. When that happens, we will be in a very passive position." Lucia immediately said.
Nona looked at her and thought, "Why are you speaking up for these bastards?"
Lucia smiled back.
"That's right. And we only have one 'nose'. It is very disadvantageous for us to stay in the village." Ling Yi said calmly.
Indeed, if the situation became chaotic, then it would be very difficult to distinguish between the villagers and the shapeshifting monsters.
"Fine, then it's decided. If we don't get attacked tonight, then we will leave tomorrow morning. But first, I don't want any accidents to happen. You must do your job well. "Nona said.
The Demon King let out a sigh of relief. Finally, this damn meeting is over. He was about to stand up, but Ling Yi continued, "Then let's discuss how to arrange the people tonight …"
"Ah!!!"
The Demon King sat back down on the chair. He looked no different from a dead man.
