Chapter 42: The Dark Tide is Surging
"Uh~~, can you please send me again?"
Mina peered out from the door of the Adventurer's Guild.
"Can you escort this child once? This time I want you to send her to Amanda City, to be honest, I have received a favor from her once before, therefore, she came to me before and wanted me to help you escort her. ”
Colgate said as she called Mina over.
"This Mina sells goods that people need in their daily lives while keeping profits to a minimum."
Seeing Colgate's smile, Chu Nan's expression softened.
"If that's the case, I'd be happy to accept the request. Is that okay, Claris? ”
"Yes! Mina, we can go on a trip together again! ”
Claris said with a smile.
"Did you defeat the Lich when you escorted her with this before? If an ordinary escort had been hired, Mina would not have been here. Thank you for saving Mina's life, thank you. ”
"It's just a coincidence."
Colgate smiled wryly at Claris, who hurriedly waved her hand.
"There aren't many people who can inadvertently defeat SS-class monsters."
Then Colgate pulled out an application form.
Request Content Escort:
-- Danger E.
- Destination Amanda
- Reward of 100,000 Yule
"It's the same as last time."
Colgate nodded at Chu Nan's muttering.
"Well, that's why I asked Mina for an escort."
"Well, no problem."
Chu Nan held Colgate's outstretched hand tightly.
And the next morning.
The entrance to the town of Kangkang.
Colgate came to see him off.
"Hey! Chu Nan, what do you think is that? ”
Claris raised nervously, pointing in the direction of the road.
"What?"
Chu Nan looked in the direction that Claris was pointing.
"Is that a zombie?"
Countless figures were unsteady on their feet.
Chu Nan picked up the M16.
"Wait, Chu Nan! It's human! ”
Claris shouted.
"Humans?"
If you look closely, it is indeed human.
About 300 people.
And the clothes are already in tatters.
You can't help but be mistaken for a zombie.
"W-This?"
Mina whispered to Chu Nan, who was muttering quietly.
"Yes, the security around here should be good, what's going on?"
The group came to the town of Kangkang.
Colgate hurriedly came out and asked:
"My name is Colgate, the leader of the Cankang Town Adventurers' Guild! What the hell is going on!? ”
In response to Colgate's question, the lady at the head raised her voice.
"Our town was suddenly attacked by the Dark Empire, and the men who resisted were killed on the spot, the women were humiliated, the money was robbed, the houses were burned, and even the children were killed for fun. In such a hell, we desperately escaped and finally came to this city. ”
When Claris heard this, he pecked Chu Nan.
"Chu Nan, it looks like a refugee."
Hearing the word "refugee", Chu Nan's face became solemn.
"Refugees? Reign peacefully here, right? Why are there refugees? ”
"I don't know about that, but the land ruled here has been attacked, and I think the army will be dispatched soon."
"That's good"
However, Claris had a gloomy face.
"But this area is a bit sensitive, that is, the border, I don't know how the Dark Empire came here."
The Dark Empire, a country where the people were treated like cattle and only kings and nobles could live a rich life.
In the huge palace of the capital of the Dark Empire:
"Our imperial army of 10 million has been wiped out! Damn! What are you eating? ”
The roar of the Dark Emperor Goles rang out.
This is the audience room built inside the Emperor's Castle.
The area was large enough to accommodate ten thousand soldiers.
Facing the twelve princes lined up in the huge audience room, Goles shouted loudly.
"It's all rubbish, you're all rubbish! What about General Aesop who ran to the Heavenly Demon Holy Land before? I heard that he destroyed the seven major races of the Heavenly Demon Holy Land, and it stands to reason that we can completely attack the human world and do whatever we want! ”
Goles kept scolding, but in front of him, the eldest prince did not hesitate and stepped forward.
"Calm your anger, king."
His name was Ulens.
Age 38 years old.
With a figure of 185 cm, even the upper body of the clothes can be seen to be exercised.
He is the first prince of the Dark Empire and the strongest swordsman in the empire.
"Unfortunately, the 10 million people of the Third Army were indeed annihilated, but this is not the reason for the defeat of our Dark Empire."
"Still?"
Goles glared at Earens.
This is a situation that would have crept anyone from the Dark Empire.
However, Erlens continued without hesitation.
"Ten million soldiers died in vain because of his command, and all the blame lies with the incompetent General Aesop."
"Is that so?"
Goles suddenly calmed his anger.
Irlens froze.
Of course, Erlens is not alone in understanding this.
The other princes also felt that their lives were in danger, and their faces changed drastically.
Goles opened his mouth:
"Irens, facts are facts, I thought you had any other opinions, what a waste!"
Hearing this, Erenston was horrified.
"Father, the child knows that he is wrong, give me a chance to atone for my sins!"
"Oh? Let's talk about it. ”
"I want to take the second, third, and fourth princes with me, as well as their direct troops, is that okay? I want to unite the forces, and if it fails, I will come to my father! ”
Erens' face was full of determination.
"Oh, if you fail, do you really bring me up?"
"Yes! But this requires the cooperation of the three princes. ”
Erlens bowed his head to Goles, his eyes piercing at the three princes.
"Yes, you can."
"Of course! We do."
Hearing Goles's words, the second prince Ron was the first to nod, he was 36 years old, he was 180 cm tall, he looked a little thin, but he didn't waste meat, he had a gentle appearance, but his eyes flashed with a cold light, and it was rumored that his recovery magic and defense magic were the first in the Dark Empire.
"I don't have any complaints."
The next one to speak was the third prince Drago, who had been 35 years old three days ago, a tall man of 210 centimeters, dressed in muscular armor and given a tower shield that would deflect any attack.
"Hah! It reminds me of when I was an adventurer! ”
The last to speak was the fourth prince Hong, although he was 33 years old, but he looked much younger than his actual age, his height was 165 cm, he seemed quite short, but in terms of attack magic, he was the strongest in the Dark Empire, especially good at attacking flame magic, it was so powerful that it could even turn a city into ashes.
"Well, you'll be leaving in the morning in three days. When the time comes, please be fully prepared, and the first prince will be the commander! ”
Thus, the Dark Empire once again began a war of aggression.
Prince Drago is the strongest swordsman, and his subordinates are all swordsmen, and he is the strongest swordsman group!
Prince Ron's army is an army of people who are good at restoring magic and defending against magic!
But it's not just a magic legion, they're mostly figures known for martial arts, that is, warriors who have mastered recovery magic and defense magic.
In short, they are all the strongest of the strongest ace elites!
In total, there are 1,200 superhuman troops!
That's the power that the Dark Empire is going to send this time.
This is an undefeated army of 1,200 men, having defeated 12 million people at one time!
Two weeks after leaving the Dark Empire.
A magic ship carrying 1,200 soldiers of the four gods bypassed the border and reached the human world
The number of magic ships is 4!
A high-performance ship that can sail even in rough seas is the pride of the Dark Empire!
On the bridge of such a magical ship, Ullens gave the order.
"We'll land like this, and we'll line up according to plan!"
"Roger!" ””
The princes then turned their greedy gaze to the mainland.
"General Aesop, known as the First Army Division of our Empire! We went to the Heavenly Demon Holy Land to do something, but it was okay if we didn't succeed, and we suffered such a big loss! What a waste! This time we're playing our trump cards and see who else can stop us! ”
Just after Ollens said so.
!
You can feel the vibration of the magic ship when it docks.
"Okay, all members, landing!"
At the same time as Irlens gave the order, the soldiers jumped out of the magic ship and lined up.
Ollens is the conductor!
"Salute to the Commander-in-Chief!"
!
As the 1,200 soldiers saluted, Irlens raised his voice.
"As we all know, the opponent we are going to fight against is a powerful enemy who has defeated the army of the Dark Empire of tens of millions! But we are all the elite of the Dark Empire's army, and we are not in the same dimension as those guys before us! ”
"Yes!!!"
To Irens, who had succumbed to the roar that shook the air, he nodded in satisfaction.
"The person who killed Aesop's military division is in the city not far ahead, and I heard that he is now a super SSS adventurer! In short, we can't let this continent have a second adventure king! ”
A man knelt down and lowered his head, he looked like an ordinary villager, but in fact he was a spy of the Dark Empire, he never participated in battles and never touched the army in normal times, however, it only appeared at the request of the army leader.
The next time they meet, no one will recognize them as the same person.
No, he's a shady special forces soldier who doesn't even know his true face!
That's the man called Shadow.
The shadow looked up at Irlens and opened its mouth.
"It was the Holy Maiden of the Taiyin clan who wiped out 10 million soldiers, but the Taiyin clan and the other Heavenly Demon Holy Lands had already been wiped out by Aesop's military division, so the other forces were not enough! There is also a human named Chu Nan. He is also recognized by the Adventurers' Guild as a powerhouse of SSS Super Adventurers. Even with the army, I am the same, I don't think this is an easy opponent to beat. ”
"Even if we are the four princes together, can't we?"
To Irens, who was in a bad mood, Shadow continued calmly.
"Super SSS adventurer, even the local adventure king Lu Fei who embarrassed us doesn't have such a title, I think Chu Nan, a human being, has surpassed the adventure king Lu Fei, and it's not easy to deal with."
Hearing the shadow's words, Irlens snorted.
"Even if it's an SSS super adventurer, as long as the four princes of us team up, don't be afraid, after all, we were also adventurers. It's not a waste of eating, drinking, and having fun. ”
Irlens glared at the shadow and said confidently.
"You just need to guide them."
"Yes."
There was a hint of emotion in the shadow's voice.
(Not an opponent who can be taken lightly and won, but it doesn't matter what I say.) Haha, no way. My only job is to gather intelligence. Whether the four princes lose or are wiped out this time is not my responsibility, I said it, and then it will be their responsibility. )
The shadow sighed deeply.
"Then, please continue along this road, and after walking for another three days or so, you should be able to reach the target city where you killed Master Aesop."
In a flat tone, he pointed to the highway that stretched from the coast.
"So, according to the plan, let's go!"
Irlens looked at the army and whispered.
"No matter how strong the adventure king Lu Fei was back then, he was not defeated by his father in the end! I don't believe it, I can't surpass my father! Besides, in this battle, the bow that was drawn out could not be turned back. ”
