Chapter 56: Soul Eater
"Wow, this is the Fortress of Splendour, more prosperous than I thought it would be. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" A man dressed as an ordinary mercenary strolled around the streets excitedly, exclaiming from time to time.
"Unfortunately, Lydia can't be with me. "This is naturally Arnold from the Selene Mountains.
As soon as they left the Selene Mountains, they were only a day's journey from the Splendid Fortress. Halfway through, Lydia encounters the Red Legion's troops and feels that something is wrong.
Although the war with Noller was lost, it was not yet to the point of activating the strongest legion in the kingdom, and there must have been something that they didn't know.
As soon as they arrived at the Fortress of Splendour, Lydia went to the military headquarters with Vorson and Icha to find out the situation. Let Arnold, whose identity has not yet been clarified, walk around by himself for a while.
Arnold had no memory of the legendary fortress in his memory, and he had always looked up with envy from afar, but this was the first time he had actually entered it.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way. A group of fortress guards dressed in Kingdom uniforms, shouting loudly, armed with weapons to drive away civilians in the middle of the road, and the crowd suddenly pushed Arnold aside.
"Roar!" a demonic cry resounded through the street, and the loud noise caused a wave of anger, causing everyone to retreat and involuntarily hide to the sides.
"What is this?" Arnold pushed away a big man in front of him and squeezed to the front, looking at a dozen red-suited squads dressed in distinctly different military uniforms, pulling a giant monster with an alchemy net.
The monster has gray skin, sharp claws, and is a monster like a monster with well-developed hind limbs, and you can ask from a distance about the stench on its body, which is the death breath from the underworld.
A mouth is huge, with numerous sharp canines, and occupies two-thirds of the head. There are no eyes on the head, only a pair of compound eyes on the sides of the forelimbs, which are spewing with a vicious soul fire.
"Little brother, stay away, if this monster goes crazy, hundreds of people won't be able to pull it. The big man next to him hurriedly grabbed Arnold, who was about to lean forward, and kindly reminded.
"Uncle, what is this, I have never seen such a vicious monster. Arnold asked curiously, he searched through his memories and found nothing, which was also normal, he didn't have a lot of experience before.
The big man sighed, frowned, and said sadly: "It is a soul eater, an undead monster, a monster that has been summoned from the world of death. ”
"The world of the dead?
Dahan nodded, "That was half a month ago, the first undead siege city, the first time in my life I saw so many undead, overwhelming, heaven and earth, all of them were figures, it seemed that in an instant, they all appeared." When Dahan talked about the past, he was still shocked, and he could think of how frightened the scene was at that time.
"The Fortress of Splendor is not only a legendary fortress of the kingdom, but also the premier fortress in the south, and the attacks are all ordinary skeleton soldiers, fragile, and a large piece of death if a cannonball magic goes down. Only then did he block the first attack of the undead with a weak force. ”
"The undead are very intelligent, and they can see that there are highly intelligent commanders in command. It seemed to know that it was impossible to climb the towering fortress walls with the fragile skeleton frame, and the next day, they appeared. The big man pointed at the monster and continued: "Soul Eater Beast, an undead with a physical body, with sharp claws, can easily grasp the city wall, quickly climb up, and can bite half of the head of a second-order regular soldier in one bite, it is extremely fierce, and the number is beyond imagination. ”
"On that day, we suffered heavy casualties, and it took half the strength of the fortress to push them back. The Soul Eater has become our nightmare. ”
"Fortunately, Captain Reg is wise and martial, and on the day the Red Red Army arrived, he studied tactics to deal with them and found the fatal point, the best proof of which is the fact in front of you. Our former nightmare has become the object of hunting by the Red Red Army, hahaha. Speaking of the Red Red Army, Dahan felt extremely honored, as if he was a member of the Red Red Army.
"It's not a loss that the Red Red Army Corps is a squad, much stronger than the ordinary mercenary team, and it can actually catch a soul eater beast unscathed. ”
"That is, in order to catch these soul eaters, there are countless mercenaries who have died, all of them don't want to die for money, and they don't look at their own strength, and now only elite mercenaries can capture one. ”
"So now the Adventurers' Guild has offered a bounty of 2,000 gold coins, and the supply is still in short supply. ”
"It's not all the hobby of the perverted nobles in the kingdom, this terrible monster, and only they will pay for it to buy it back and show it off. ”
"These nobles need materials in times of war, and they are very generous in order to satisfy their selfish desires. ”
"Shhhhhh ”
The noise suddenly fell silent.
"Uncle, according to them, the Red Red Legion is also a bounty for the nobles to catch the soul eater?" Arnold said incredulously.
"How is it possible, how can the Red Legion serve those moths, they are here to further study the weakness of the soul eater. These monsters evolve on their own, not ordinary undead. The big man snorted coldly, expressing his displeasure with Arnold's slander of the Red Red Army.
"Okay, scattered. "The guards of the fortress saw that the Red Red Army had pulled the Soul Eater back to the barracks, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief and dispersed the crowd, for them, the farther away the Soul Eater Beast, the better.
Arnold cupped his chin in thought, "Soul Eater. Although when I came, I already knew that there was chaos outside the fortress, not only did I not see any trace of the strong enemy Nole Kingdom, but an even more terrifying undead empire appeared, but the specific news still did not understand. I don't know what happened in my short half a month in the Selene Mountains. ”
"It looks like I'm going to go to the bar to find out the news, but I won't have to wait until the evening, so I'll take a hot shower and get some rest. Arnold had a certain idea, and walked towards a fancy hotel.
Night fell quietly, and Lydia lived up to expectations, disappeared all day, and sure enough, he didn't come to him, although he had already sent a message to the people in the military department, but unfortunately he was unidentified, and he didn't know if Lydia received it.
Arnold shook his head, slipped an adventurer's cloak over his eagle suit, and walked towards one of the most upscale and crowded bars he had ever heard.
Angel & Demon Bar, a well-known high-end bar in the mainland, has branches in various large cities in the imperial kingdom, and is also a high-end stronghold for selling news.
The bar is three stories high, and it houses catlains, fox women, and even elves from the Orc Empire. The backstage is tough, and it is known from the consumption of a gold coin when you enter the door, not ordinary people can enjoy it.
