Chapter 156: A Turning Point
The legendary calamity ...... Correction, two hours after pinning down the poor 'slime' on the plains. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
However, there is still no sign that the elemental disorder is capable of fighting back.
Due to the sword qi attack and high mobility of the death knight Morse, coupled with the excellent cooperation of those adventurers on the city wall, the elemental disorder body was trembling from the initial invincible attitude to the cooperation and tactics of the scoundrels.
Originally the same height as the city wall, it was constantly divided by sword qi and long-range strikes, and gradually became less fearful.
And the part that fell did not change as the waste magic sword said, but was almost unconscious.
If it weren't for the strict attitude of the lich leader of the Adventurers' Guild and his order not to go out until absolute safety was ensured, the adventurers who had already begun to talk about whether they could hook up with women at the celebration reception would have been killed themselves.
As President Ferg stepped in to maintain order, the guild staff, who had not received instructions, also left the command room to chat.
I say to the Waste Magic Sword, which has been silent:
"Hey, I'll admit that I was also intimidated when I first saw the elemental disorder, and that guy destroyed the City Lord's Mansion with a single blow. But now it seems that there is too much moisture. Don't you have an idea of that?"
Hearing my question, the Beast Demon Sword hugged his chest and pondered, and then showed an expression of sudden realization.
"This group of adventurers is just a rabble, and it stands to reason that Anya can easily deal with it. But since it's going to be like this......"
I was attracted by its look and leaned closer, only to be able to reply:
"Uncle Ben doesn't know! But for you, a partner, Anya's successful defeat by the adventurers should be quite good. β
"If this kind of rhetoric is useless, don't say it so openly. However, well...... That's right. β
If we don't need to make a move, it's a good ending.
After all, if it is an elemental disorder that the adventurers have successfully killed, there is no need to pay mercenary compensation.
"Well, Eshuin wants to discuss the reward. Indeed, according to the basic rules of mercenaries, as long as a contractual relationship is established, even if the commission is successful, at least half of the remuneration must be paid......"
I didn't ask, and Baldel, who was wandering around the command room with interest, said so.
This guy sometimes seems to be able to see other people's hearts.
"Oh, this is the craft of the undead. Well, this thing looks pretty good......"
Baldel, with his back to us, looked at something unusual, and looked at a bone urn with a handle.
Although he looks a little weird in a tuxedo dressed like he wants to go to a dinner party, and the aesthetic of [?] at the position of his facial features, judging from his delicate approach to research, this guy seems to have a good concept of art.
So back to business. I have a good thing to tell you, and that is that I am not a character who will be greedy for small things. β
After carefully placing the urn back into the distance, Baldel turned around unhurriedlyβ
"I thought it would be interesting to have an elemental disorder related to the previous King of the Undead, but that level of garbage is really not worthy of my help. If Ishine wants to break our agreement now, we don't need to be paid. But on the other hand, if you ask us to do it later, then you will have to pay another price. β
After saying this, he smiled intriguingly.
"That's it, this is what you said, so let's terminate the contract quickly!"
After hearing this, the Waste Demon Sword repeated it again as if he was afraid that he would regret it.
"Partner, don't hesitate at this time. Although I don't know why Anya is so weak, but the current situation has collapsed, and this situation is impossible to turn around even if Uncle Ben is in Anya's position!"
Seeing that Baldel had turned a deaf ear to these words, Spandam leaned over my shoulder, which had jumped on the table and chair, and continued:
"I don't know how you know the other Demon King candidates, though. But Ben, Uncle Ben didn't say that because he was frightened by that guy's terrifying abilities. It's just that the less contact that character has with us, the better. β
β...... But that guy's words are so suspicious, isn't it? β
Hearing me hesitate to say this while staring at Baldel, the Waste Demon Sword sighed.
"But have you ever thought about it, mate, maybe that guy just said that to make you think he was playing tricks? At this point, Uncle Ben can conclude that if you want to break the agreement, then he will not get paid as a mercenary. β
I see......
Should I say that ginger is still old and spicy, even if it is Spandam, he will have a lot of experience after living for a long time.
However, the original remuneration was not a substantive item, and at best it was only a verbal agreement.
Anyway, this guy is used to seeing the monster candidate of the world, is it necessary to play with such a mind at this time?
"No, forget it. Let's go as agreed, if the elemental disorder is successfully defeated by the adventurers. Even if Baldel doesn't make a move, we'll pay the full price. β
"Oh, that's true. I really discovered a lot of interesting things on this trip. β
Hearing me say this, Baldell shrugged and studied himself a rune sword that had been used as an ornament.
Now that I think about it, even though this guy seems eccentric, it seems that he has never suffered a loss.
Although the overall situation is almost decided now, there are so many big people on the scene, and there are other adventurers who are jointly contained, it is estimated that the elemental disorder body will not be able to make any waves.
As long as we continue to be vigilant and everyone works together to consolidate the encirclement, we will not lose no matter how we say it.
At this time, I don't know where the voices of adventurers came from.
"Not only is Mr. Morse here, but also President Ferger is on the scene, so it's no problem to go on like this!"
"Indeed, if you consume it, you can easily kill that monster! Although it is a group mission, it must pay a lot!"
"Hmph, I can't help it, you bastards really know how to drink. I've been a family man for a long time, and I was planning to retire, but after I finished this, I went back to my hometown and didn't become an adventurer. Here's a picture of my daughter, and lo and behold, it's cute......."
"Not bad, uncle, I'm really envious. I also have a crush on someone, that, that. I'll ask her out tomorrow. β
I don't know why, but suddenly a very bad premonition emerged.
"Ah, that's right. I didn't expect to survive, so I decided to get married after this battle. β
Yes......
Hey, don't put up these flags at this time!
As if taking this as an opportunity, the adventurers who had been chatting casually just now fell silent.
When I realized something was wrong, and was about to look back at the elemental disorderβ
"Roarββββββββββββββββββββ!"
There was no sense of fatigue from being rubbed by the adventurers for a long time, full of fighting spirit, and a deafening roar resounded across the plains.
