Chapter 74 – Kusla Mountains (2)
Kusla Mountains in the west.
This long mountain range connected to the coast was nicknamed the Waist of the West.
Monsters were constantly pouring out of such a place.
Boats entering and leaving the shore were blocked.
At the same time, it was an instant that the West was paralyzed.
Fortunately, Xi’an was able to stabilize the West to some extent.
It was still a dangerous situation around the mountains.
And the way to enter such a mountain range.
It was a path that had to be passed through to enter the Kusla Mountains.
To be precise, to go to the place you want to investigate.
Xian hid his presence for a while.
and far away
A bunch of monsters gathered together could be found.
It looked like a bunch of goblins…
It seemed that the number reached 3,000.
Although 3,000 was not a small number.
Again, it wasn’t a large number.
Above all, goblins are classified as the lowest of the lowest class monsters.
It wasn’t something the Royal Knights couldn’t handle.
That’s why it’s enough to just break through.
Even so, the reason for hiding the presence was simple.
Before long, Alex cautiously approached Xian.
“Once we were discovered by the goblins guarding that roadway, a huge number of monsters came pouring out of the mountain range.”
“uh···.”
Sian let out an exclamation involuntarily.
Because that word meant one thing.
“Are you saying those goblins are scouts?”
“I guess so.”
Alex nodded slowly.
The monster is acting as a scout.
Of course, this was quite possible.
A goblin scout from a group of goblins.
Orc scout of the orc horde.
In this way, the monsters also had their roles.
However, that was only if they were of the same race.
To put it simply, the goblin scouts never warned the orcs of danger.
A situation that would never be possible under normal circumstances.
One case where that is possible.
It was possible if someone was in command of the monsters.
“That’s why I tried to investigate the Kusla Mountains.”
Alex noticed that too.
“The problem is, once discovered like that, all the monsters in the mountain range poured out. Monsters keep attacking every moment of the investigation… It was virtually impossible to investigate.”
“hmm···.”
“So, in order to properly investigate, I had to secretly enter the mountain range while avoiding the eyes of the monsters along the way…”
The problem was that there were too many of them.
3,000 goblins.
I couldn’t fool that amount of attention.
In addition, the alleyway was not very wide, so it was discovered in some way.
“So I tried to deal with the goblins quietly…”
Again, there are too many of them.
It was impossible to deal with 3,000 goblins quietly.
Then, if even one marari leaked out, that was the end.
Above all, the Royal Knights were always knights.
was not an assassin
‘If I had known it would be like this, I would have brought Conner.’
A high-class assassin from the underworld.
Leah couldn’t even use it, but that skill was certain.
But Xian quickly shook his head.
It was impossible even for a high-class assassin to assassinate 3,000 goblins without getting caught.
“hmm···.”
Xian was lost in thought for a moment.
Alex said to Xian.
“It will be fine though. This time all the members are gathered, and you are not there either. It will be difficult, but the investigation will continue.”
So it was Alex who said it was a difficult situation rather than a problem.
So, Xian quickly lost his thoughts.
No matter how much I thought about it, there was no good way.
“ah!”
At that moment, a thought flashed through Xian’s mind.
After calmly sorting out the thoughts that came to his mind, Xian asked Alex.
“I have a good method. So… a way to assassinate those 3,000 goblins.”
“Is that true?”
Alex came back in surprise.
Xian nodded and said.
“Sir Alex. Can you spread the Royal Knights widely around you? As long as it doesn’t go unnoticed by the goblins. So that we can stop the goblins from leaking out.”
“That’s not difficult, but…”
Alex nodded with a meaningful expression.
Xi’an’s request itself was not difficult.
However, there was a limit to going unnoticed by the goblins.
To put it simply, access was not possible from the back of the street corner.
If the goblins fled that way, there was nothing they could do.
Even blocking had its limits.
If thousands of goblins leak out.
Even the Royal Knights couldn’t block them all.
“Do not worry. It’s probably not going to leak, but I just want to be sure.”
But Sian nodded once, as if to say not to worry.
Alex looked at him and nodded slowly.
“Okay.”
Stabilization of the West, which was thought impossible.
Xian was the person who made the impossible a reality.
So there must have been a way this time too.
I don’t know what it is.
Alex had the belief that if it was Cyan, he would definitely do it.
Alex ordered the Royal Knights to form a wide formation around the goblins.
Covertly within the scope of being undetected.
All of them had reached the level of expert, so there was no great difficulty.
After completing all the preparations, Alex returned to Xian.
“As you said, we have all the members assigned.”
At Alex’s words, Sian nodded.
If you do this, even if you make a mistake, the Royal Knights will stop it.
This meant that all variables were blocked.
Sian slightly turned his head.
And said to the waiting soldiers.
“Guys. Load all the arrows before the new god.”
“I understand, lord.”
With Xi’an’s words, the soldiers moved in perfect order.
And I removed the grass that covered it with camouflage
Then, a total of 10 new generations appear.
While Alex is away.
It was a novelty that Xian had taken out of his inventory in advance.
The soldiers loaded all the arrows into the 10 Singijeon.
“That, that… what is it?”
Alex asked Xian.
Alex had a very embarrassed expression on his face.
It was also because a new story had suddenly appeared.
And that big one is 10 years old.
Above all, it was the first time Alex had ever seen a new game.
“Ah, it’s called a new game. It is a weapon of s*xual assault.”
“······ Seo, a weapon of s*xual assault?”
Alex opened his eyes, looking surprised.
It seemed that the two words did not match well.
Fully understood.
Xian also seemed like the mobile lord was insane at first.
Of course, that opinion still remains the same.
“Younglord. All ready.”
At the soldier’s report, Xian nodded.
“Start right away.”
Then, without hesitation, he moved on to his next move.
Before long, the soldiers settled down in their respective shrines.
and for a while
Ki-i-i-i-.
An enormous wave of magical power exploded around.
The terrible magical power of the Sacred Age amplified by the highest quality mana stone.
“This, what the…!”
The force made Alex’s eyes tear open.
And again.
Shush shush shush shush!!
A shower of arrows rose, covering the sky pitch-black.
Before long, arrows rained down on the goblins.
Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwam!!!!
aaa!!!
Soon, the ground trembled with a tremendous explosion.
“What, what?”
“Suddenly, what is this?!”
The Royal Knights, who were waiting for the huge vibration that shook the heavens and the earth, also looked puzzled.
A thick cloud of dust rose and obscured the view.
Xian nodded his head in satisfaction.
“done. Guys. Hurry up and finish it.”
Then the soldiers raised their weapons and charged through the clouds of dust.
An aura shimmering between the swords.
It was surprising enough for a single soldier to use an aura.
“Ji, what are you doing now!”
Alex didn’t have time to worry about that right now.
Alex screamed in fright.
Even if he quietly passed by, he sold his hat.
Because it turned the table upside down!
It wasn’t just Alex.
The members of the Royal Knights who were waiting also wondered what this was about.
I looked at Xian with an expression asking what the hell he was doing.
But sickness.
“I am assassinating you.”
Xian was talking nonsense!
“······ what?”
Alex was so absurd that he almost evaporated.
Where the hell is that supposed to be an assassination?!
If that’s an assassination, all the assassins in the world are dead!
Alex jumped out of his seat and stood up.
Sooner or later, monsters from the mountains will pour out.
Alex shouted as he drew his sword.
No, I meant to scream.
At Xian’s words, Alex instantly froze.
“In the end, wouldn’t it be enough if there was no ‘eyewitness’ to inform us that we came?”
Alex’s body paused.
I opened my mouth to say something.
The words kept getting stuck in my throat.
Although Alex knew all too well that it didn’t even sound like a real horse.
I thought about it.
“······ what?”
Isn’t that right?
In fact, the assassination was not the point.
Goblin scouts warning you of an intruder.
It didn’t matter if you didn’t let that happen.
The only way to do that was through assassination.
But if you think about it.
Either ‘assassinate’ 3,000 goblins.
Either ‘slaughter’ 3,000 goblins.
Anyway, the result is not the same.
So what if that bombardment just killed all those goblin scouts?
So, what if everyone who knew that an intruder had come died…?
The blooming dust haze has settled.
gaze seen.
“·······”
There, 3,000 goblins were smashed to pieces.
To be precise, what was a goblin was strewn about.
Of course, there were a few goblins who were lucky enough to survive.
“Kie, kieek…!”
No, I wondered if I could have survived that.
Still, there were goblins who survived without dying.
but.
“Are you living this?”
Kwajik.
Ruben’s fast-moving soldiers took care of it right away.
That situation is already over.
Even if there are goblins they haven’t found yet.
It was to be dealt with by the Royal Knights who had been placed in advance.
A truly perfect assassination… no, a massacre.
No, assassination. No, massacre.
······ Arai.
“·······”
Alex didn’t really have anything to say.
#
The 3,000 goblin scouts were dealt with in an instant.
Naturally, the 3,000 goblins were annihilated.
Not a single one was able to get out alive.
Although it was Xian who assassinated all the scouts like that.
Still, Xian had a slightly concerned side.
The tremendous firepower of the new era.
The vibration that resonates between the heavens and the earth caused by this.
Because of that, they might have noticed that an intruder had arrived.
So, I was a little concerned.
Fortunately, that didn’t happen.
It seemed that he thought that the intruders had been wiped out in the battle with the goblins.
Of course I don’t know who.
I don’t even know if there is anyone else.
If there is someone who leads the monsters.
It was unthinkable that 3,000 goblins had been wiped out.
Not even one of them could escape alive.
Thanks to that, the investigation of the mountain range was made really easy.
You don’t know that an intruder has arrived.
It was rare to encounter monsters.
Of course, that didn’t mean he didn’t encounter monsters at all.
Because the mountains were overflowing with monsters.
But that didn’t matter too much.
First of all, all the members of the Royal Knights are gathered.
“Younglord. Are you dismantling this too?”
“no. I don’t have time right now, so let’s go.”
Because Ruben’s soldiers were running amok!
Awesome!
Kwajik!
A group of trolls collapsed in an instant.
Even the trolls stopped regenerating.
“No what…”
“Is that a single soldier?”
The Royal Knights, including Alex, couldn’t believe it at all.
Where the hell do you think that is a soldier!
And I wanted to ask from the other day, but all the soldiers were using Aura!
To be honest, even if I faced the apprentice knights of the Royal Knights right now, I didn’t think I would be lost at all.
They were literally monster slayers.
I couldn’t do that unless I ate only rice and caught monsters.
Also, it is amazing to pick and attack the monster’s weakness…
squeak.
puck.
Even the monsters took care of it before they realized it.
It was none other than the skills learned from Kerner at the Special Class Training Center Lv.1.
Because of that, even the Royal Knights are afraid of the level of hiding their presence.
While the level of armed force is higher than that of an apprentice knight.
And at times like this, he was no different from a high-level assassin.
And that’s all.
“Younglord. There are strange signs of trolls here.”
“Trolls believe in their regenerative powers, so they tend to ignore these branches… but for some reason, they have been cautiously passed over.”
“It seems that there is something in this direction.”
The tracking ability was also excellent.
Grayson, a veteran hunter who has lived in the dark forest for decades.
It was common sense for the soldiers who had been trained by Grayson.
“No, what…”
“A soldier of the territory?”
“Are you a soldier, a knight, an assassin or a ranger?”
However, the members of the Royal Knights who did not know that fact were just absurd.
what is this
Are Ruben’s soldiers helping the Royal Knights investigate?
Are the Royal Knights helping Ruben’s soldiers?
There was no discernment at all.
“Didn’t he… say Ruben’s ‘soldier’…?”
“you’re right.”
Alex asked just in case.
Sian nodded without hesitation.
Alex closed his mouth.
What kind of soldier is that!
The members of the Royal Knights were not too different from Alex’s feelings.
That’s how the investigation of the Kusla Mountains was made easier than ever.
Thanks to that, it didn’t take long to get meaningful results.
“stop.”
Sian raised his hand slightly.
Of course, Ruben’s soldiers reacted to Xian’s actions.
All of the Royal Knights’ knights stopped moving.
Xian slightly raised his gaze and looked straight ahead.
Then, the scenery in the distance.
It was densely packed with trees intertwined with each other like a mountain range.
But those trees were all dry.
Like a heap of ashes left after being burned by a fire.
The trees were all blackened.
It was an unnatural landscape.
And even the terrible aura that I feel inside it.
“That’s what it is…”
Alex muttered after checking the scenery.
Xian slowly moved there.
One step, one step.
The moment you step into the borders of the landscape.
creepy.
I felt a cold sensation running down my neck.
At the same time, the alarm bell of instinct strongly warns.
‘danger!’
Xian threw himself hastily.
And almost at the same time.
Quaang!
A powerful explosion occurred where Xian had been standing just before.
If I hadn’t reacted even a little bit, I would have been swept away by that explosion.
Xian straightened his balance and drew his sword.
“Everyone beware!”
The first to respond to Xian’s cry was none other than Alex.
“All ready for battle!”
Alex shouted, drawing his sword.
Eventually, the Royal Knights and Ruben’s soldiers all pulled out their swords.
A feeling of tight tension.
In the midst of that tension, a being appeared.
Black robes flutter in the wind,
A thick pitch-black aura flowed around him.
A thick darkness rising.
The infinite fear felt in between.
Nightmare Manifestation.
Or the incarnation of evil.
No amount of words could explain it.
The black robe was hiding the appearance of existence.
However, what was clearly visible through the sleeves was pure white and bony bones.
Flash.
Red eyes glowing from wide open pupils.
It’s down there, where the light can’t reach.
It was as if something from the abyss had awakened in the swirling darkness.
Dimensions of the Dividing Abyss.
distorted fear.
【I haven’t heard of any reports of rats crawling in.】
A gnawing hunger is revealed.
