‡Chapter 4|The Two Last Recruit

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>|

Charizard warily moved forward as the Recruits around will kill every goblin groups of only 4 goblins with sneak attacks.

They don't want potential trouble and it's much more good feeling safe than worrying about the group noticing them.

Charizard also helped on this, though he haven't had any chance to move yet because they always succeed in their sneak attacks.

He is just their reserved force, that will support them when problem occurs in their sneak attacks.

...

Charizard didn't know how long had it been because he had grown to lazy to count the time.

But before him stood a place where crimson is a ting.

Orangish, pinkish red trees are everywhere and the small grass and moss where also died with various color of red.

Aside from that, the atmosphere at the place look tranquil with no sound other than the wind blowing the leaves.

It feel frightening, knowing that there's no sound.

Backing away 10 meters from the place, Charizard planned to circled the place and not to approach it.

Although he know that this kind of place usually will bring fortune and can be used as a starting place for his future base.

Nevertheless this place will more likely bring danger like the Shaded Grounds from before.

Now let's call this Crimson Grounds.

Charizard hearing it, smiled proudly, it seemed that the names he bought out perfectly fit the place.

He hadn't see any monsters which tell him to be much more careful.

He didn't know if this place is a territory of a strong monster so he need to be careful.

After all life is precious and we only have one, if that place had a crimson nature dragon or crimson forest dragon in there.... There's no doubt they will die.

(Those dragons are only his imaginaries)

Motioning for them to move, the group crawled away silently and circles the place, surprising them as they rarely encountered monsters.

'Now this Crimson Ground become more dangerous in my opinion'

No monster, No sound aside from their low sound footsteps and the sound of their clothes brushing.

This gave him a grave feeling.

With him carrying the only sound, he didn't know if monsters will suddenly ambush him.

Stopping for a moment, he motioned for the Recruits to move away.

"Let's move away again, better be safe than sorry"

Tak Tak Tak Tak

The sound of their footsteps reverberated at the surrounding adding to their nervousness.

Grrr Grrrru

Growl

Grrr

The sound of a wolf growling didn't escape Charizard hearing as they immediately stopped and prepared themselves facing the grasses at their side.

Shshhshshsh

Sound of something moving at the grasses rippled at the tranquil forest as the grass sway like it was giving way to something big.

Charizard frown, judging from the way the grass move, this monster is big.

Maybe it had the same height or more height than them, with size much more bigger than them.

He didn't know if it was a wolf but he still chose for his troops to scatter and choose position where they can support each other while he hid in the bush ready to release his arrow.

Of course he didn't dare to forgot to check his surrounding first for fear of getting sneak attacked at his back.

Take Tak shshshshshsh Grrrr

Growl

'It seemed like it's only one' He thought to himself feeling relieved.

Boom!

Shockwave was created as dust flew in the air and the grass swayed wildly at one side.

Before they knew it, one of them is already missing.

"Where is it?"

Nervous, Charizard casted a Safeguard on himself while trying to find the monster.

It was so fast that they didn't even saw their comrade being dragged!

Shshshhs

At the grass, sound of something moving attended again.

Charizard didn't want to be picked one by one so he immediately shouted.

"Run with me!!"

Dashing away, the 4 of them immediately run fleeing.

They might had a chance to expose the monster with this and plan their best course of action.

Growl

Taktaktaktaktaktak

Sound of something running fast were heard as a large black bird came out of the bushes instantly arriving at one of the Recruit.

Charizard is dumbfounded because he thought it might be a rabid species or a wolf.

"Quick"

One word, he only need one word and the Recruit immediately understand him.

He didn't mean to run faster when he said Quick and so the Recruit immediately grit their teeth as they immediately abruptly stopped, then pulling their spear forward to throw it.

What he mean is "Quickly intercept the monster!"

As spear rushed out at the monster, the Recruit it was pursuing was already dead having it's head being ripped of with the monster beak.

But that didn't mean he hadn't retaliated.

Earlier.

Before he died... He attacked the air.

Because he didn't know the position of the monster, he guessed it with the sound and knowing the monster is fast, he hastily bought his spear forward.

Swoosh

The spear instantly move forward thrusting through nothing.

The Recruit wasn't surprised because he immediately saw a black bird bigger than him in the corner of his eyes jumping away then it stepped its foot at the ground again planning to attack him.

The recruit change his spear direction and bend his body turning around.

The spear flowed like a crescent moon as it's spearhead tore through the air making the bird jump back again.

Growl

The man seeing this immediately throw his spear half heartedly without power.

As soon as the spear flew away, he immediately dashed to the bird, then he dove down to the ground reaching the monster feet.

The spear become a distraction as the monster wanted to get away only to notice that the Recruit hold down his feet and are now continuously biting it.

The monster dodge the spear by moving his head as it immediately yank the Recruit head out of it's body with it's beak.

It didn't had the time to eat the head as sound of air being tore open resounded.

It instantly dashed away only to stumble growling in pain.

Apparently the two Recruit advanced their aim knowing the monster is fast and can dodge the spears.

It was a lucky hit.

Seeing the chance, Charizard released the string, as the arrow tore through air heading towards the bird.

Pak!

Charizard face then turn into horror as he saw the arrow striked a tree far away from his target.

"Damn I forgot I didn't know how to use a bow!"

Having no weapons at hand the Recruits also trembled in fright, but fortunately the bird monster after standing up stepped at the ground and fled.

Although Charizard is disappointed that they did not manage to kill it since it's feather can be use to make an arrow by using his synthesis.

He is still thankful that there are still 2 Recruit left.

"Please get me the armor of that dead Recruit and also grab your spears"

Ordering, Charizard didn't even look at them or else he might puke at the sight of the dead body.

He turn his head at the sky seeing the sun at the middle.

"Maybe it's around noon now huh" He murmured.

He didn't know the exact time but he can guess.

They depart at the dawn, move through the sea at morning and now it seem that it was around noon.

Sigh!

It was only noon and they already lost three!

Now he only had 2 Recruits.

"My Lord" One of the Recruit call from the behind solemnly.

Not looking, Charizard received the leather armor with disgust on his face that he wanted to puke as blood is still on it.

The leather helmet is gone only leaving him with the remaining armor, bracer, boots, knee and elbow guard.

Closing his eyes, Charizard asked one of the Recruit to help him in equipping at his hand is trembling in disgust.

Smiling bitterly, he shook his head and mumbled to himself.

"Sigh, why do I felt disgust in just a blood?"

After all it wasn't a dead body, and only some blood.

"In the past I drink water from wells and touch poops, worms or insects but this seem new to me, I might as well need to get use to this once we settled down"

Motioning for the recruits to continue their journey, Charizard sigh and said to them "We need to get out of here fast, since it might attract some monsters and we don't have time for burying the dead"

The two recruit solemnly nodded feeling sad.

'At least they died fighting' They thought relieving themselves.
