Chapter 608: The Sorrow of the Powerful
"Kill a king-level blood beast? Can you elaborate on that? ”
Gray looked at Jessea in surprise, for him now, it was naturally not difficult to kill a king-level blood beast, and he could even do it without his move.
The gang must be helped, after all, it is not too much trouble, but he is a little curious, why the other party wants to kill the king-level blood beast.
"Since some time ago, Cumberland has been close to the night forest area, and blood beasts have flowed out almost every day, and many villages have been attacked by blood beasts."
Jessea's voice was solemn.
"Sensing that something was abnormal, the Cumberland family sent people into the Night Forest to investigate, and found that a king-level blood beast actually left the depths of the Night Forest and came to the periphery of the Night Forest."
Jessia looked at Gray with a pleading voice in her voice.
"You also know that with the strength of the Cumberland family, they don't have the ability to kill king-level blood beasts, so they can only be cheeky and ask you for help."
A king-level blood beast actually came to the periphery of the forest, this is a very serious situation, if the other party leaves the forest, then many towns will suffer, and many cities of large scale in history are destroyed under the attack of king-level blood beasts.
But such a king-level blood beast is obviously not something that the Cumberland family can compete with and kill, and it is for this reason that she thought of asking Gray for help, although she can also ask the royal family for help, but it is obviously faster to ask Gray for help.
"The king-level blood beast actually came to the outskirts of the forest?"
Gray's face was slightly shocked, although there are many records of king-level blood beasts attacking the city and destroying the city in history, but in fact, it is very rare for king-level blood beasts to leave the forest, and the probability of occurrence is not large, after all, king-level blood beasts are generally in the depths of the food-rich forest, and generally do not leave the forest for food and other reasons.
Now that there are king-level blood beasts coming to the edge of the forest, and in connection with the recent frequent attacks of blood beasts, Gray feels more and more that the frequency of blood beasts attacking villages and towns is unusual.
Eventually, Gray and Sister Jessia set off for Fergus Castle, where he decided to go and kill the royal blood beast himself.
Although to Barnett. The strength of the king level of Neham, plus the increase of the silver weapon, has the strength to kill the king level blood beast, but it is not able to end the battle in a short time, which can easily cause a beast tide, especially now that this king level blood beast is on the periphery of the night forest.
Gray still remembers that the beast tide that happened in Sidney's territory also happened around the Night Forest, but it was in Sidney's territory, because of that beast tide, many villages in Sidney's territory near the Night Forest have become uninhabited villages.
Naturally, he didn't want to attract a tide of beasts to Cumberland in the process of killing king-level blood beasts, so he decided to take action himself, and only his strength could kill king-level blood beasts in the shortest possible time.
After cultivating in the castle for more than three months in a row, it was regarded as a slight vacation for himself, and even if he went out, his daily cultivation would not be interrupted, in fact, it did not have much impact on him.
"Lord Gray, I'm going to trouble you this time!"
Riding in a carriage with Sister Jesia to Cumberland City, Gray is warmly welcomed by the Cumberland family.
The Marquis of Cumberland greeted Gray at the city gate with the nobles of the sub-feudal realm, which was the highest level of courtesy, and was usually only given to princes and princesses when they traveled.
However, with Gray's current status, he is no worse than the prince and princess, and even surpasses it, so it is natural to have this kind of treatment.
The Marquis of Cumberland was in the same carriage with Gray, Jessea, and Audrey, and he was middle-aged, and he could vaguely see the handsomeness of his youth, but his hair was a little thin.
He looked at Gray with a slight sigh, when he first met Gray, Gray had already begun to show his edges and corners, but he definitely couldn't imagine that the other party could grow to this point.
Facing the other party, even he couldn't help but feel a slight nervousness, which was brought about by the huge gap in identity and strength.
"You're welcome, Marquis Cumberland!"
Gray responded politely, not arrogant, but he could still feel the slight nervousness of the Marquis of Cumberland.
Even if a king-level powerhouse behaves politely, his identity as a king-level powerhouse will never change, and when people whose strength is far weaker than him sees him, they will always involuntarily think of his identity, and they will always involuntarily feel nervous, even if they know that the other party will not hurt themselves.
Gray is no stranger to such a situation.
The king-level powerhouses are all arrogant, on the one hand, because they have a long lifespan and have experienced too much, and many things can no longer cause their emotional fluctuations, and on the other hand, because the people around them will subconsciously fear them and behave extremely restrained, and they can't communicate with them naturally.
After spending the night at Cumberland Castle, Gray set off for the Night Forest with the Marquis of Cumberland, Sister Jesia, and others on the second day.
When approaching the night forest, you will pass by some villages from time to time, and you can clearly see the traces of the destruction of blood beasts in these villages, there are collapsed wooden fences, there are also collapsed houses, and in some places you can even see pools of dried blood.
There are people in the village, but it is obvious that these people have a slight sadness and numbness on their faces, facing the death of their loved ones, facing the uncertain fate, they have no strength, they are confused, and they don't know where to go.
Seeing these people, Gray shook his head slightly, this is the sorrow of those who have no strength, they have no strength, so they have no ability to protect their relatives, and they have no strength, so they can only live a life of fear and don't know when they will die.
"Although additional personnel have been dispatched, the area around the Night Forest is too wide to be protected."
Seeing Gray's gaze looking at the villages, Jessea said with a touch of sadness in her purple eyes.
Some nobles treat the commoners in their territory as livestock, and do not care about their life and death, as long as the casualties are not too great, they will not care too much, because some people are dying and some people are being born, and the number of deaths can be replenished quickly.
The Cumberland family is not such a family, and they are very concerned about the lives of civilians in the territory, so after the blood beast attack occurred, they immediately sent additional manpower, but unfortunately they did not have enough strength to protect this place.
"It's not because of you, you can see that the Cumberland family is very much loved by the people!"
Gray let out a reassuring voice, and as their carriage passed, it was evident that civilians were looking at the Cumberland family's carriage with respect and admiration.
"It's a pity that we can't give them the protection they deserve."
Jessea smiled bitterly and shook her head, now she is already participating in the governance of the Cumberland territory, in a few years, she will take over the Cumberland territory, and she can't give the people the protection they deserve, she feels deeply guilty, so she will be cheeky to go to the Fergus family to ask Gray for help.
"I can't blame you, after all, it's a king-level blood beast, and this kind of thing will be a headache in any family."
Gray shook his head, his eyes looked at the night forest not far away, there must be a reason why the king-level blood beast left the night forest, he planned to kill the king-level blood beast, and then enter the night forest to investigate.
Arriving at a small town near the Night Forest, and then finding out the latest location of the King-level Blood Beast from the team monitoring the King-level Blood Beast, the group entered the Night Forest and headed towards the location of the King-level Blood Beast.
"That king-level blood beast is right in front of the river!"
A middle-aged man pointed to a rather wide river that could be seen in the distance, lowered his voice, and said in a solemn voice.
His name is Luke, he is the leader of the Cumberland family's exploration team, he used to be a hunter, and by chance he joined the Cumberland family, got the opportunity to cultivate blood law, and became a blood warrior.
Because of his background as a hunter, he is very good at searching and tracking blood beasts, and this time it was his team that found king-level blood beasts.
"Well, just get here, you wait for me here!"
Gray nodded slightly to the Marquis of Cumberland and Sister Jesia, and strode towards the river in the distance.
"Don't ...... Lord Marquis, hurry, stop him! ”
Seeing Gray actually walking in the direction of the river, Luke and the other members of the exploration team were about to pop out their eyes, cold sweat slid down their foreheads, and they looked at the Marquis of Cumberland with a look of panic and horror.
Hearing that the Marquis was coming, he thought it was just a routine to come to check, and he would only take a look at it from a distance, but he didn't expect that someone actually planned to get closer to the place where the king-level blood beast was.
He was well aware of the horror of king-level blood beasts, even if they were hiding from a distance and monitoring from afar, they were easily discovered by king-level blood beasts, and for this reason, their exploration team had already lost several people.
Now this young man actually had the audacity to approach the place where the king-level blood beast was, if the king-level blood beast was alarmed, none of them would be able to survive.
"Captain Luke, don't panic, for others, the king-level blood beast is extremely dangerous, but for him, the king-level blood beast is not dangerous at all."
The Marquis of Cumberland interrupted Luke's words with a wave of his hand, and looked at Gray's back with a little awe, the king-level blood beast is also dangerous to the king-level warrior, but it definitely does not include the person in front of him.
"Lord Marquis, he, what the hell is he...... Who is it? ”
Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Luke looked at the Earl of Cumberland with a calm face in surprise, on the way here, he could see the politeness of the Cumberland family to the young man, he thought that the other party was a child of a big family, but now it seems that it is obviously not as simple as a child of a big family.
"He's the Duke of Fergus, you should have heard about him!"
Looking at Gray's back, Jessea had a complicated and inexplicable look in her eyes.
"What...... Is it? He, he is...... Gray. Duke of Fergus? ”
Luke, as well as the rest of the team, couldn't help but look sluggish.
Gray, who has the record of slaying the magic light and was named a duke by the royal family of the Purple Moon Kingdom. Duke Fergus, they had naturally heard of it, but such a person was too far away from them, like a star in the sky, but they never thought that one day they would be able to meet him, and they would get along with him for so long.
