"Mr. Rhodes, the torch you mentioned is ready, but..."

Bit looked at the fighting situation at the scene and wanted to ask if it was no longer needed.

But Rhodes said: "It's just the right time, throw all the torches out the door."

Bit nodded: "I understand, is it used to attack the remaining beasts?"

"No, throw them all at Natsu."

"ah?"

"Hurry up and do it." Rhode urged. The battle is almost over. If you don't throw it away, your preparations will be in vain.

"Yes!" Bit directed the villagers to throw the torches outside the door, but in the end they did not dare to aim at Natsu.

They didn't understand what Rhodes meant, but Habi knew it best. He flew over the wall and shouted: "Natsu! The delicious food is coming!"

Natsu turned around and saw dozens of torches flying in the air.

"Oh~~~That's great!" Natsu jumped up and threw himself at the torch in the air. When he was close enough, he opened his mouth and inhaled, and flames flew into his mouth.

There were two that he couldn't eat, but he reached out and grabbed them.

When he landed on the ground, Natsu's cheeks were already puffed up. He chewed a few times and swallowed.

Rhodes doesn't understand why he still chews something like flames, is he afraid that there are "fire bones" in it?

"Eat it!"

"Can actually eat flames!"

"So fire magicians can eat fire?"

The villagers looked at Rhodes one after another. If the fire magician eats fire, then this magician who controls wild beasts...

Strange 'knowledge' increased.

No wonder just two of them dared to take on such a mission!

Natsu put the torch in his hand like a lollipop and stuffed it into his mouth. He chewed it for a few times before throwing away the stick.

"Thank you for the treat!" He wiped his mouth and his whole body was suddenly enveloped in flames. "After eating it, your strength will surge up!"

Natsu took a deep breath and breathed out a large amount of fire from his mouth like the breath of a fire dragon: "The fire dragon's...roar!"

The violent flames swallowed up all the remaining beasts like a whirlwind, rendering them incapable of fighting.

It almost affected two small rhinoceros birds.

Rhodes slapped the railing on the arrow tower and said angrily: "Natsu! Pay attention to your own people!"

"Ah ha ha ha ha..." Natsu grabbed his cherry-colored hair with one hand and apologized heartlessly, "I'm sorry, sorry, it's dark and I can't see clearly, it's a little too much, and it doesn't hurt at all!"

Rhodes didn't believe him. This bastard must have been so careless because he knew in advance that the wild monsters would not die.

Otherwise, Habib would have been roasted long ago after being with him for so many years.

Hubby felt a chill behind him: "Rod, I feel like you are thinking about terrible things."

Rhodes refused to admit it: "It's nothing."

"To win the battle so quickly, you are worthy of being a wizard!"

The villagers were surprised by the magician's fighting power, and some people unconsciously added the honorific title.

Bit was in a daze, as he thought that the torches were used like this: "Well, Mr. Rhodes, what should we do now?"

Rhodes said: "Open the door to put out the fire. Didn't I tell you to prepare things? The wall will be burned down soon."

"Ah, yes!" Bit shouted immediately, "Open the door, put out the fire, and protect the wall!"

"oh!!"

Fortunately, the main battlefield was on the road, so the flames did not spread too widely and the intensity of the fire was not too large. Otherwise, we would have been very busy today.

The villagers raised the gate with a winch and went out to put out the fire with buckets and carts filled with sand and soil prepared in advance.

When the fire is not big, doing this kind of thing is much safer than facing the herd of animals.

Rhodes used He Crab's vision to survey the situation around the village, and discovered that several wild beasts were running past in the other direction.

But they don't seem to be coming to the village, but simply passing by.

The village chief did not wait at home, but went to the entrance of the village on crutches: "Thank you for your hard work, is anyone injured?"

"Village Chief! Thanks to the Mage, no one was injured at all."

Natsu came in through the gate, and Rhodes jumped off the arrow tower with Habib.

The village chief expressed his thanks on behalf of the villagers.

"It was originally our mission." Rhodes said, "I want to confirm something with you. Are there any other villages nearby?"

The village chief shook his head: "No, the nearest village from here is dozens of kilometers away."

That's strange, where are those beasts going?

Just running around?

Rhodes could only take back the other wild monsters first and send a river crab to chase them and take a look.

"The three of you have been running all the way and immediately joined the battle. Thank you for your hard work," said the village chief.

"There shouldn't be anything else going on tonight, please come to my house to rest first."

"Then excuse me." Rhodes was completely rude. He was really hungry.

Natsu had an unreliable suggestion: "Rod, why don't we get rid of all the beasts on the mountain in one go?"

"Stop making trouble. There is a mountain stretching for dozens of miles. You can't finish it even if you don't sleep at night." Rhode advised, and suddenly said warily, "You don't want to set the mountain on fire, do you?"

"How is it possible? If you want to burn the mountain to solve the problem, why don't you issue a commission?" Natsu denied flatly, "I just want to solve it quickly."

Rhodes nodded: "Oh, why don't you go by yourself first?

Hubby and I went to have a delicious dinner first, take a comfortable bath, and have a good sleep.

We will go to the mountains to find you tomorrow and give you a cold breakfast."

Hubby agreed: "Love!"

"You two..." Natsu muttered quietly and kept up with him.

Rhodes discovered a new way to communicate with Natsu.

The dinner at the village chief's house was very sumptuous, and three chickens were specially killed to entertain them.

In fact, it is enough to treat them to the meat of those beasts just now. Anyway, it is enough.

But the village chief may have thought it was impolite, so he still used his own things to entertain the guests.

While eating, Rhodes paid attention to the movements of the beasts, and found that they seemed to be really running around.

They even parted ways halfway.

Very strange.

At night, Rhodes, Natsu and Happy rested in the same room on the second floor.

It's not that the village chief's house doesn't have spare rooms, but that Rhodes feels it's safer to live together.

He slept relatively lightly in a strange place, which was just enough to prevent Natsu from sneaking out to cause trouble in the middle of the night.

Before going to bed, Rhodes took Naz and Habi to have a strategy meeting.

"Tomorrow I will first send Shadow Wolf and Swift Crab to reconnoiter the mountain to find the whereabouts of the Beast King. Before then, no unauthorized actions are allowed."

"It's so troublesome. Can't we just go up the mountain to look for it?"

"No, the villagers can't judge the strength of the Beast King, so they can't provide information, so we have to find out ourselves."

Rhodes said seriously, "If it exceeds our capabilities, I will immediately abandon the mission and return to the guild for help."

"Rhode, how could it be so easy..."

"Love, we agree with Rhodes."

"Happy, even you said that!"

"Because what Rhodes said makes sense."

Hubby touched the small green bundle on his back. There was a fish hidden in it that Rhodes secretly gave him.

"The three-person team is now two to one, so listen to me." Rhodes said, "Now let's sleep well and recover our strength."

Natsu fell asleep angrily.

In fact, Hubby has a more effective method of persuasion, but he doesn't want to mention it. It's good to mess around with the decision like this.
Chapter completed!
