Chapter 40 The Determination of the Parties

The nearest town to the Aino Plain was the city of Toyoya Castle, with a garrison of 1,000 and a permanent population of 50,000, most of whom were peasants. Since most of the residents are not wealthy, there are very few entertainment facilities in the city, only two bars, one east and one west, which are almost not popular at night.

Today, however, it was different, and although it was late at night, the torches on the main road were still burning vigorously, and the tavern was overcrowded until the street outside the door. They were the ones who survived the battle on the Plains of Aino, and more than half of the soldiers died in this battle, so those who survived squandered their money, after all, it was a good thing to celebrate to survive. Moreover, everyone's hearts are still full of fear of Skeletron, and if they don't use alcohol to anesthetize themselves, I'm afraid that this night will be tormented by nightmares.

Of course, there were those who benefited from this battle, and the biggest ones were probably the tavernkeepers and prostitutes. The tavern owner sold almost all the liquor in his inventory and made a lot of money, while the prostitutes were too busy to keep their legs together.

The hotel on the east side is divided into two floors, the downstairs has been stuffed with drunken soldiers and there is no place to stand, and the upper floor is relatively empty, although there are hundreds of people seated, but at least everyone has a fixed seat. These are the most powerful adventurers and officers on the battlefield.

In the end, there were as many as 1,000 skeletons on the battlefield, but they were all low-level skeletons, which were not a threat to these battle-hardened adventurers, and although it took some time, they were completely settled.

At the table in the center sat Ballykaf, Anjef, Daliola and the leaders of the teams, and the food on their table didn't seem to have touched much compared to the food that had been swept away around them, and the bottles that had been placed on the side had not been opened.

"There is such a powerful monster in the territory of the country, I have to bring this news back to the royal capital as soon as possible, so that His Majesty can organize an elite army to crusade." Ballycalf had a sad look on his face.

"Even if you gather all the armies of the Principality of Basol, it will only be a few more corpses, and a monster like Skeletron cannot be defeated by relying on a large number of people." A bald man said dejectedly.

"I'm afraid I'll have to ask the guildmaster to contact the Crimson adventurers to get them to make a move, but the corresponding reward must be amazingly high." Anjef touched his chin and thought.

"No matter how high the reward is, you have to get it, otherwise the whole country may be destroyed."

"Teacher Daliola, you should have an opinion."

I don't know who said it, the originally lively discussion suddenly stopped, and everyone looked at the most experienced old man here with expectant eyes.

Daliola noticed the gaze around him, perhaps feeling that it was time to be silent, he coughed and said, "General Ballykaf, you go and explain the situation to Your Majesty first, so that he can prepare to evacuate, Anjef, you go and inform President Marman, he has some friendship with the Crimson adventurer 'Oath-Maker' and may be able to ask for their help, I will go to 'Azdalia' to ask for the help of the oracles, I hope Skeletron can wait quietly for us to get ready." ”

"If 'Azdalia' can make a move, Skeletron shouldn't be afraid."

"Ah, that's all there is to it."

Everyone nodded in agreement with Dariola's proposal, hoping to deal with Skeletron, but no one frowned.

——————————————————————————————————————————

Using collective teleportation to bring the surviving goats back to the canyon, although they suffered mentally from the loss of their compatriots and physically accumulated the fatigue of desperate fighting, they still showed a slight smile on their faces when they returned to their hometown after a long absence.

The monsters who had been waiting for a long time brought fresh food and herbs to smear their wounds, and the goats, who had been completely freed from the threat of death, were exhausted and spread to the ground.

Just when everyone thought they could breathe a sigh of relief, an abnormal atmosphere suddenly filled the air, and the weak monsters began to fall to the ground one after another.

Sack, Aceles, and other cadre-level monsters took on a battle pose, revealing the fear from their hearts from the heavy expressions on their faces. I turned to look at the meeting of their gazes, and saw a huge monster standing 5 meters tall behind me, burning with strange green flames all over its body, and a sophisticated magical equipment, it was Skeletron who had teleported back at my command.

Seeing the pain of the monsters around me, I realized that Skeletron was also a threat to them, and its death and weakness aura could make creatures other than skeletons fall into a state of weakness and continuous loss of life. If you leave it alone, all the monsters here will die.

So I looked at the huge lake, pointed to a small island, and said to Skeletron, "Go to that island first, and go to hibernation." ”

"Yes, my master," Skeletron knelt down on one knee in obedience, and then disappeared into the night sky, and at the moment it disappeared I seemed to feel the loss and reluctance in its eyes, ah, it was just a summon, I guess I was mistaken.

After Skeletron disappeared, the monsters still looked at the place where it had just stood, although it only stood for a while, there was still a certain color difference between the ground and the surroundings, and the grass was slightly yellow, which was because the life energy was taken away.

"The servant I summoned just now, if there is a strong enemy invasion in the future, I will hand it over, and I hope that everyone will not approach the island where it is dormant to avoid unnecessary danger." Seeing that the monsters around me were still on alert, I gave them a brief explanation.

After listening to my explanation, the monsters finally breathed a sigh of relief and began to cheer, feeling relieved that the canyon had such a powerful guardian, and at the same time expressing their admiration and awe for me to be able to drive such a terrifying monster.

"Lord Kilgaru, thanks to your help this time, we will not be wiped out." Acereth thanked me and pulled one of the goatmen behind him, "Lord Kilgaru, this is my brother, Kerreth, who wants to thank you too. ”

The goatman who was deadlifted forward was obviously reluctant, but he bowed to me and said, "Thank you for your help in saving my countrymen." ”

"Ah, you don't have to be polite, if you want to thank Aceres, I can't bear to watch it die to save you by the way."

"Lord Kilgaru, I don't know how to repay your kindness for being such a great monster as you think so highly of me." Listening to my words, Acereth looked at me with a touched face.

"Haha, everyone is a companion, how can there be a reason not to save when you die." I waved my hand and said in a tone of course.

"Lord Kilgaru, I will do my best for you and the village." Acereth knelt down at me, his tone full of determination.

"I'm going to have to work hard for you in the future, Aceres," I raised my hand to signal Acelace to stand up, then turned to Kerryth, "Then Kerryth, do you want to join us too, now that our village is under construction, we need a powerful monster like you." ”

At this moment, Kerryth had taken off his armor, and his body was taller and more burly than Aceles, and his muscles bulged like steel, and he looked like a well-trained warrior. Kerryth looked at Aceress on the side, and he was nodding excitedly at Kerryth, probably sincerely hoping that Kerryth would stay, but Kerryth's answer was beyond our expectations.

"Lord Kilgaru, you are willing to accept a loser like me, thank you very much, and I am happy to dedicate my strength to your village, but my arrogance has killed so many of my compatriots, and it will make my conscience disturb if I stay like this, and my strength is far from strong enough, so I beg you to give me some time to travel around and strengthen my strength, and I will definitely be able to serve the village better when I return to the canyon." Kerrys expressed his thoughts seriously, and the tone of sincerity was hard to refuse.

"I see, the gates of the village will always be open for you."

"Thank you so much, you are indeed a very generous king as Acereth said." Kerryth saluted me and said to Aceres, "Aceres, the Armor of Silence was yours, and now I will give it back to you. ”

"Kerryth, I know your character, so I won't dissuade you, I'll try to make myself stronger, and when you return to the canyon again, I'll definitely defeat you, you can't die until then!" Acereth threw a fist at Kerryth.

"Hahahaha, I'm not going to lose to a kid like you," Kerryth laughed and punched Aceres, then patted Acelace on the shoulder, and said to his brother with love like all older brothers, "Take care of yourself, and see you then." ”

That night, the goat-man Kerrys did not stop long, and left the canyon in the quiet of the night. Skeletron and the 307 surviving goatmen elite warriors have become new members of the village, the canyon is growing in strength, and my plan to go to the human nation is about to begin.
