Chapter 52: Monsters Attack
Under the sound that was so loud that it spread throughout the city, Nyoa couldn't help but be woken up from her sweet dream.
Changing into clothes in a daze, Nia walked out of the hotel. As far as the eye can see, there are many mercenaries who are also like her, with a confused face.
"So what the hell is going on?" A mercenary asked his partner.
"I don't know, I was also woken up and said that we were going to the East City Gate. In that case, let's go over and take a look. The man who was asked replied.
Looks like everyone doesn't know what's going on, Nia thought to herself.
At this time, a huge voice sounded again: "Monsters are attacking the city, monsters are attacking the city." Inform all occupations that you have been temporarily conscripted into the army. Everyone, please report to the East City Gate quickly. ”
Although the voice was loud, Nia found that this voice magically did not disturb any unemployed people, and I have to say that the strength of the person who spoke was unfathomable.
"East City Gate? Monster siege? Is the Erwin line broken? "As mercenaries who mostly work alone on weekdays, and at most only a few people form a team, their discipline is really not very good. But despite this, the crowd still flocked towards the east gate.
——————
Follow the crowd to the east gate, and most of the people have already arrived.
Looking up, the army at the head of the city was not very numerous. Just when Nia was wondering why it was so important, the military had only sent so few people, when she saw a middle-aged uncle in a military uniform walking over.
I saw him walk into Nia and the others, and introduced himself: "My name is Stewart, and I am the commander of the East Gate for this mission, and the anomalous goblin army has come here this time. There are not enough people in the army, so I will call you over. ”
After a pause, he said again: "Someone will definitely ask me why there are not many military personnel here, it is because they have also been attacked at the south gate, and the generals are now rushing to the south gate. What they had to face over there was a Minotaur army led by the Minotaur Sauta who had sensed this opportunity and poured out of the Gran Forest to attack them. ”
"Could it be the overlord of the Gran Forest with the strength of the sixth order, the Minotaur King Sauta?" Most of the people were old fritters in the city of Grazley, and they couldn't help but be shocked when they heard Stewart's name.
Nia was also shocked, but not because of the other party's name, but because of the other party's strength. She had long known that the strength of the monsters in this world was different from the games she had played, but the Minotaur Sauta, who had always been abused by newcomers, actually had such a strong strength in this world. This also makes the newcomers so happy to farm monsters and upgrade.
Seeing that the mercenaries below were starting to look confused because they heard the name of the Minotaur, Commander Stewart added: "You don't have to worry about that direction. With the Great General and his Grand Magister friends going there, it can be easily dealt with. On this side, we're dealing with a huge army of goblins. According to the frontline investigation, there are at least a few fifth-order goblins in the opposing team. ”
Hearing this, the crowd exclaimed again. Because they know that they should not underestimate that the other party only has a fifth order, because the goblin is a race that focuses on cooperation and cooperation. With the cooperation of each other, the fifth-order goblins can even exert the strength of the sixth-order.
Without waiting for the fear in the hearts of the people below, Stewart changed his words again and said, "But don't worry, the Great General gave me a few long-distance teleportation scrolls before leaving, and if there are more than fifth-order goblins, we will have special people to teleport them away." ”
"So this time, your mission is only to delay the remaining goblins below the fifth order for five hours. After that, the generals will come over to support after solving the matter over there. ”
"We don't ask people to work in vain, there will be special records to record everyone's achievements, and then after the war, all of them will be converted into military achievements." Knowing the principle of adding a jujube after giving a mallet, Stuart granted the mercenaries a good benefit.
Hearing that this time there was actually a battle achievement, everyone also raised their spirits. You know, military exploits can be exchanged for all kinds of items that are rare to see outside in the army, and if someone has outstanding military achievements, that person can even be exchanged for the status of a nobleman. In this hierarchical society, this is already a reward that a group of mercenaries cannot refuse.
As everyone knows, even the soldiers in the city of Grazli will not have too many points to take. Because the only way to earn points in this relatively safe city is through the monster siege that happens every three years. This time, because of the goblin siege, the king of the Gran Forest, the Minotaur King Sauta, couldn't hold his breath and advanced the monster siege. This is undoubtedly good news for those who are about to be discharged from the military.
"The group of soldiers who are defending in the southern city must be happy. The siege was just carried out last year, and this offensive is bound to be less severe than then, and there will still be military merits after the battle. ”
"Whoever said it, they probably regret it. Although the intensity of the siege on both sides is not strong this time, it is not something that can be countered by dispersing forces. So this time the mercenaries are recruited, I don't know how many military merits they will throw to us. ”
Laughing, the crowd walked up to the wall. The few soldiers on the city wall began to teach the crowd a rough way to use some defensive weapons. At this point, the goblins hadn't arrived yet.
Upon arriving at the city walls, Nia looked around, only to spot a familiar figure in the crowd, the same martial artist Caroline she had met at the entrance to the tavern. But come to think of it, as a professional, it's normal for the other party to be summoned.
"Hi Carolyn. Remember me? Now that she saw each other, Nia decided to lean over and say hello, after all, she didn't know many people here.
"Nia, why are you here? Yes, you are also a professional. But this mission is dangerous, you better go back, even if you go back at this grade, no one will say anything about you. ”
"Since I'm also a professional, how can I be timid in the face of a strong enemy?" Rejected Caroline's suggestion outright. Then Nia saw the figure beside the other party.
Seeing Nia's gaze, Caroline hurriedly introduced: "This is my partner Baron, don't look at him looking stupid, he is a ghost swordsman with a real ghost hand." ”
Following the introduction, the ghost swordsman Baron laughed, and from the raised right hand, Nia could vaguely see the purple ghost hand inside.
Of course, looking at the other party's iconic outfit, Nia didn't need to think about it to know the other party's identity.

Before everyone could get used to the environment, a large group of goblins appeared from afar.
"Here we are." Nia thought to herself.
