The Holy City of the Enchanted Ridge,

Adventurer's Mercenary Guild Building,

In the top floor meeting room.

In this rooftop conference room that was originally reserved for Adams and the Tempest Mercenary Group,

It was full of people.

"Alright, now that everyone is here!"

"Then please ask the Magician Camila of the 'Moonlight Poppy' to tell me about the specific things you encountered in the Dissolving Forest this time!"

A middle-aged man sitting above the round table, brightly dressed and slightly bloated beside him, spoke.

"Yes, Lord of the Castle!"

Camila stood up and nodded to the middle-aged city lord above the round table,

began to tell about this trip to the dissolving forest.

"That's right, we're headed to the Dissolution Forest under the leadership of Captain Adams this morning......"

"O'Neill, the chief thief of the Wind Mercenary Regiment, was seriously injured by the monsters after the investigation, and after returning to the team, it didn't take long for him to die!"

"I was standing next to Captain Adams, very close to O'Neill......"

"Hearing the news that O'Neill brought back, we thought about retreating first at that time, but we couldn't retreat because we had already been chased by the other party at that time."

"That's a blue dragon, and that dragon should be more than ten meters in size... Yes, very strong! ”

"The army of monsters under that dragon's command is strong, consisting of adult savage giants, minotaurs, dark elves, death knights, and monsters like goblins and orcs."

"In particular, there are a lot of monsters, at least eight or nine times or even ten times more than our adventurers!"

"That's why we lost so quickly this time!"

"There are a lot of monsters?"

"How many can you estimate?"

At this time, the middle-aged city lord sitting in the center of the round table suddenly interrupted the reporter's question.

Instead, he looked at Camila and asked.

"According to my conservative estimates... At least 1,000 monsters should be there! ”

Hearing the city lord's question, Camilla groaned for a moment and then spoke.

"Impossible!"

"The number of monsters above a thousand is at least the number of monsters that can only be possessed by monster lords above the legendary level!"

"And this also needs to be something that can only be done by those who are more intelligent, such as legendary-level monster lords like spellcasters."

"Otherwise, it's an ordinary legendary-level monster, like the 'Lion Scorpion Lord' around the Holy City of Kadera;"

"The 'Ogre Overseer' of the Road of Sighs, the number of monsters under the command of these legendary monsters is only three or five hundred!"

"You said that a monster that shouldn't have reached the legendary level, how can it have an army of a thousand monsters!"

At this moment, a questioning voice quickly sounded.

When Camilla looked up, she realized that it was the president of the Archer Guild's branch in the Enchanted Ridge: Pittman;

A high-ranking archer who is rumored to be just one step away from the legend.

In the face of Pittman's questioning, Camilla did not say anything.

Even though she is also a high-level magician now, she belongs to the high-level profession,

But because it was too difficult to advance to the realm of legends,

So there are countless adventurers on the entire continent who are stuck between high-level professionals!

This has led to a particularly large gap in strength between senior professionals.

is like Camilla and Pitman in front of them, they seem to be high-level professionals, but their strength and identity are absolutely very different!

Moreover, Camila knew that the reason she was able to enter this room was simply because she was a participant in the event of the Dissolving Forest.

So, in front of the bigwigs of various associations and institutions in the conference room in front of me.

It's better to be conscious and say everything you know!

"Not necessarily!"

"Pittman, that monster is the legendary dragon!"

"It's a bit inappropriate to compare those monsters with muscles and muscles to dragons!"

"Camilla, sit down!"

At this time, a middle-aged man in a delicate black robe retorted, and motioned for Camilla to sit down.

"Yes, Lord Norris!"

The one who spoke was Norris, the branch president of the Magic Society stationed in the Holy City of Enchanted Ridge.

Like the Pittman level of the Archer Guild, they are all at the pinnacle of high-level professionals, and they are only one step away from the legend of high-level professionals!

At the same time, Norris is also the same as Suthea, the chief mage of the Wind Mercenary Regiment,

In Peoris Magic Regiment, it also belongs to the middle class, but Norris's level seems to be much higher than Sucia.

It is one of the legendary seeds that Peorista Magic Regiment is more optimistic about!

"Norris is right, the creature of 'dragon' is indeed not comparable to ordinary monsters!"

"You know, there are still rumors on our continent about the battle that surrounded the Divine Heaven a few years ago!"

"The six heroes defeated the black dragon with the help of the legendary golden dragon Gerante and the silver dragon Arjeta!"

"Everyone, forgetting history means betrayal!"

"You can't have forgotten!"

A low, hoarse voice suddenly sounded,

This time it was a short figure covered in a black robe, but no one present dared to underestimate the other party!

He sits at the round table in the room, but it's easy to ignore the presence of the other person if you don't make a point of observing.

'Stalker---Felix'

This is one of the high-level pros who already has a title without advancing to Legend!

He is also the president of the Association of Thieves stationed in the Magic Ridge.

Felix once accompanied a well-known team of fourth-level adventurous mercenaries to encircle and suppress a goblin lord who had just entered the legendary level;

With one dead and three injured in the adventure team, and all of them lost their combat effectiveness, they simply cut off the head of that legendary-level goblin lord alone!

This is also Felix's battle to fame, and it is also one of the key battles to get the title.

"Felix, you also said that it was just a rumor!"

"The biggest hero of that battle is the six heroes of our humans and elves!"

“......”

Seeing that these association presidents began to fight again,

The city lord Peters had to pinch the temples that were a little swollen next to his forehead,

He asked the clerk beside him:

"Sharp!"

"How many city guards can we mobilize now?"

"Lord Yu City, the city guards that we can mobilize in the entire Magic Ridge now are only about two thousand people at most!"

The thin white clerk on the side pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and replied with a deep groan.

"Tens of thousands of city guards in the entire Magic Ridge, and now you tell me that you can only mobilize two thousand?"

"Lord of the Castle!"

"First of all, what I want to tell you is that there are only about 18,000 city guards officially registered in the entire Magic Ridge, not even 20,000!"

"So what you said about tens of thousands of city guards is wrong... And..."

"So, Lord City, the two thousand city guards who can be mobilized are still guarding against the remnants of the 'Followers of the Dragon' that have appeared recently, so they have deliberately squeezed out troops in other departments!"

"Then you mean, we don't have enough city guards to deal with that dragon in the Dissolving Forest, do you?"

"Unless that dragon comes to the door?"

"Lord of the city, I'm just a clerk!"

"I don't count it!"
