Wizard: I want to be a top student

"What are you waiting for?"

Ivan stopped practicing when he heard this and prepared to get other equipment.

But Biman said, "Don't worry, my father told me not to act rashly. Only a small number of porcupines appeared this time, so it's not advisable to alarm them."

Leide personally led the team to check, and the others just had to be prepared and wait. In the end, the mercenaries did not take action to avoid alerting the enemy.

The appearance of porcupines means that they lack food and will definitely come to the Black Pine Forest Territory again recently.

In order to deal with the upcoming fierce battle, the Black Pine Forest Territory made proper preparations and prepared hunting traps.

The next day, when it was getting light but not yet light.

A group of black things came out of the Black Pine Forest and headed straight for the fertile fields in the territory.

"Where did they go?"

"We went to the south, just as the captain expected."

After someone noticed the movement, they immediately notified all the mercenaries and guards, and a group of people ran quickly to a warehouse in the south.

In order to catch all the porcupines that were causing trouble, Baron Church rarely showed his generous side and took out some fragrant wheat and put it in the warehouse near the fertile fields.

This fragrant wheat is a specialty of the principality. It can only grow in the Grand Duke's territory and is only sold to nobles.

As its name suggests, fragrant wheat has a more fragrant aroma than other wheats. It is said to be calming and conducive to cultivation. Even nobles are reluctant to eat it every day, but now it is used as bait to lure wild beasts.

In order to set up this trap, the mercenaries specially reinforced the warehouse and made special modifications inside.

When Ivan and others arrived, the wild boar was still digging the soil in the field to find food, so they could ambush in other houses nearby and wait for the wild beast to fall into the trap. If the trap fails, they can only forcibly surround and kill it.

Accompanied by the sound of grunting, several larger porcupines appeared first, sniffing something.

'Is this a porcupine? '

Through a gap, Ivan saw the porcupine that embarrassed the Black Pine Forest Leader. The porcupine not far away was completely different from the 'big rat' in his memory. What was in front of him was a thorn chariot.

It was the size of a yellow cow, with needles scattered all over its body. There was a short needle on its head and back. The needle on the head was obviously more special, and it was said that it could be soft or hard. The tail was a long needle like a feather.

With two pairs of short legs, it walked like a small chariot full of steel needles.

Ivan couldn't help but tighten the shield in his hand.

The sense of smell of pigs is actually not worse than that of dogs, and it is even two or three times that of the latter. Therefore, when Baron Church proposed to add ingredients to the fragrant wheat, he was directly rejected by List. In fact, the guards had used it before, and the porcupine was not fooled at all.

The porcupine that was exploring the way sniffed for a while, and then grunted and sent a message to the back.

A large group of porcupines appeared, with a total of fifty or sixty heads. No wonder the Black Pine Forest Territory was plagued by them.

"Bang."

When they arrived at the warehouse door, the leading porcupine lightly knocked against the thick wooden door, causing it to make a dull sound. Then seven or eight porcupines knocked against it together, and the door was knocked open with two knocks, just enough for one porcupine to pass through.

The porcupines knocked again, only a little distance away, and there seemed to be something more solid behind them~holding it.

"Hmph."

After wandering for a while, a larger porcupine got in through the crack of the door first, followed by two or three more. The other porcupines were able to resist their desire for food and stayed outside the granary.

Ivan witnessed this scene and secretly called these porcupines cunning.

However, they encountered more experienced mercenaries, and the bait was also real.

Leide persuaded Baron Church many times, and Ivan occasionally gave Lisa a hint of the dangers. In addition to the previous experience in the Black Mist Forest and the situation of the guard captain Marshall, Baron Church finally agreed to spend a lot of money, and the group of beasts could not help but be fooled.

After a while, a signal came from inside, and the other porcupines squeezed into the gate and entered the warehouse.

Two figures trotted over with light steps, closed the door from the outside, tied two iron chains, and wrapped them around and around.

"Okay, everything is ready, it's time for us to eliminate the beasts."

The beasts fell into the trap, and Led turned a deaf ear to the collision sound coming from inside, called out the people who were ambushing nearby, and arranged the next extermination plan. The group of people will be divided into three teams.

"Ivan, look at this, you have to pay attention later." Biman pulled Ivan and pointed to the door behind. There were needles that penetrated the thick wooden door directly, revealing a small section.

Ivan secretly smacked his lips, the power was no worse than that of arrows, and he must not be careless.

Fortunately, there were only a few needles that could penetrate the wooden door, which meant that not all attacks had such power.

He and Biman followed the deputy leader Gro this time. After the six members of the team came to the warehouse, they put a wooden ladder on the wall, climbed up the ladder, entered through the small window, and landed on the wooden corridor built a few days ago.

A few days ago, in order to kill the beasts at the lowest cost, the mercenaries specially built a hanging wooden corridor in the warehouse, which was more than four meters above the ground. Except for the side of the gate, there were three other sides.

The wooden planks under the wooden corridor were particularly thick, and there were several double-layer door panels in front.

"Ding ding ding!"

The porcupine realized that he had been fooled. When he saw someone appearing above, the needles were like flowers scattered by the goddess, which made people's scalps numb.

The double-layer door panels are now shields. The needles hit them like raindrops, adding a layer of black and white decoration to the door panels.

"Let them run wild for a while."

Several people landed on the wooden corridor one by one. Gro reminded his subordinates not to act rashly. He also had the leisure to point out: "These needles are good materials for making crossbows. They only need a little modification. The baron promised to give us 30%."

Biman couldn't help but complain: "Less than half, stingy."

In theory, the spoils belong to those who participated in the battle. At least the mercenary group can get half. Most nobles can't bring themselves to fight for petty profits, so such spoils usually belong to the mercenary group.

This made the two guards in the team feel a little embarrassed, but they couldn't say anything, because the finances of the Black Pine Forest were always tight.

"It's our turn."

After a while, the porcupine stopped its arrogant behavior, and Gro signaled everyone to disperse in pairs.

Ivan followed Gro.

The two of them were behind a double-layer door panel, one on the left and one on the right, and they stretched their heads to draw bows and shoot arrows.

The warehouse was filled with dense arrows, the screams of porcupines, the sound of porcupine needles hitting wooden boards, and occasionally the unfortunate screams of the unlucky ones.

The hunters stood in the morning sun, looking down, and they couldn't get out of this carefully arranged warehouse until the last porcupine was shot and fell to the ground.

"Is anyone injured?"

"Danny."

"Buck."

The battle ended, and Led shouted a question, but when he heard that it was not his man, he stopped talking.

The mission was over, and the mercenary group received the mission reward, a heavy shield that was almost two meters high. The baron said that it could even defend against the knight's fighting spirit slash. The disadvantage was that it was heavy. One mercenary could lift it but could not use it in combat. It took two people to move it properly.

This shield could be put to good use, not to mention that it could be used as the symbol of the Giant Shield Mercenary Group.

The next morning, the Giant Shield Mercenary Group packed up everything, said goodbye to Baron Church and set off on their return journey.

On horseback, Beaman joked, "You really don't want to say something to her?"

Ivan glanced at him and said, "That's right. I have to talk to Paddy when I get back. What do you think of the story of the young Beaman fighting a sea monster to save a drowning man?"

Not far away, Miss Church was looking at Ivan eagerly. The deep affection in her eyes made people unable to bear to look directly at her. Unfortunately, someone disappeared at the end of the road without looking back, leaving the beautiful woman with a face full of grievance.
