The heavyweights of Barse's Hunter's Guild listened to Hook's story with a difficult look on their faces.
When Hook finished speaking, what came out of them was a deep sigh.
"You chickens headed to that ruin alone, using the pendant given to you by a man who was too suspicious: ......
A small but muscular man, rubbing his beard with pride, muttered so wearily. His name is Ralph Exel. He's the master of the Hunter's Guild in the city of Barse.
'And to be so careless in approaching the Golden Mountain: ......
Covering his face with his right hand, one of the executives moaned.
It's not unreasonable. There is always a reason for everything that is placed in a dungeon or ruins. There is no place that will go out of its way to place your treasures and ask you to take them with you. A treasure hunter would never enter such a blatant place.
It's no use saying what has happened now. It's more about the future.
Gilmour, in these words of Ralph
"Who is the mastermind behind giving those pendants to Lyga and her friends?
A senior member of the Okappa leadership says the question that everyone in the room has.
Is it from the underworld, or is it demons? As far as I'm concerned, they're not good as far as I'm concerned.
Are they just trying to summon that Pazuzu?
One of the executives with a beard asked Ralph with a mysterious look on his face.
Yeah, I suppose it's only natural. You can't help but smell the danger. We can't afford any more trouble. I don't want any more trouble.
"Yes, sir! Give all hunters the order to search for suspicious people! It's thorough!
"Ha!
An official of the Hunter's Guild, at the direction of the bearded executive, trundles out of the room.
"So, Master, I have a bad feeling about this situation, and I think we should call all hunters above the C class immediately.
Ralph nodded widely at the suggestion of one of the executives.
'Right. Let's call it in right away. Should the disaster level be city-level?
Yes, now that we have the Wolfman in the city, I'm sure we can handle it just fine, but I think it's a good idea, just in case.
Gilmouth's proposal, the executives, one by one, expressed their support for it.
Incidentally, the disaster level of the hunters is divided into the following six levels, in descending order of danger
I. Multiple-Casualty Level -- Fear of killing or wounding more than one person.
Two, Limited City Class: Fear of partial destruction of a city.
Three, city level--the threat of the destruction of one city.
Regional Class--Fear of destruction of more than one city.
5. Nation-State Class--A threat to the destruction of a nation.
Sixth, World Class--a crisis that threatens the survival of the world.
This time the third city class. This is indeed a threat to the destruction of an entire city. The guild is serious about this.
Just then - a guild official comes rolling into the guild leader's room.
''Ta, ta, oh my God!
"What's the fuss?
One of the leaders of the guild raised an eyebrow and asked, but without even trying to meet his gaze, he went in front of Gilmouth and pointed with his trembling right hand to the east gate area outside.
'The demons are coming! And they're all demons I've never seen before! Some of the demons have been identified in the depths!
"What?
The executives stood up in unison and shouted in astonishment.
In the first place, one of the reasons why the search of the temple had not progressed until now was because of the demons of the deep region. In the past, a search team of B-class hunters was annihilated by several deep-range demons, which is a well-known story in this Barse.
"We are inundated with disaster-class demons. That's really not funny. ......
One of the B-ranked hunters in attendance grunted with a very pale face.
'It's an emergency! Raise the disaster level to "regional". Evacuation of city residents is a top priority! Request help from the Wolfman now!
The guild leader's sharpest instructions fly.
The Wolfman is already out! And we also have the help of the Knight-in-Chief of the Amelia Kingdom, Arnolt!
A sense of relief spreading in the room.
S-ranked hunter - every hunter knows the prowess of the Wolfman.
Born half-beastman and half-human, he was initially subjected to intense discrimination, but with his own body, he overturned his reputation. There are many crises that have been saved by the Wolfman. As a rookie, I have heard many legends about him since I was a newbie, and the mere fact that he would participate in the battle is a great relief to me.
What's more, this time around, there's a knight commander, Arnolt, who is renowned as the strongest swordsman in the kingdom. He is someone who is said to be the equivalent of an S-class hunter.
I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make your life easier.
The first thing to do is to have the hunters split into three teams: a search team for suspicious persons, a civilian evacuation team, and a team to defeat the enemy! However, the defeat team must be a class B or better hunter! Finally, the first floor of this guild house will be the headquarters of the case!
Challenging the demons of the depths by low-class hunters will only result in a pile of corpses. It seems to be a reasonable line.
""Ha!"
Executives put their hands on their chests and tried to leave, but
"Yes, it's very hard to believe that ......
"There's no time! Quickly state your requirements!
The head of the guild gives a loud voice of encouragement to the stagnant guild staff. It's not someone who usually raises his voice like this, by any means. I think the head of the guild is also quite temperamental.
I'm not going to be able to get it right. Princess Rosemary's Royal Guard, Kai Heinemann, is to be recalled from Ruzahar immediately!
The room buzzing in an instant.
"Hey! Ilsa, Kai Heinemann is a new hunter attending the Sacred Martial Arts Party, right? Was it Princess Lohse's royal guard?
One of the A-class hunters shouts at Ilsa as he closes in on her.
"And I don't know! That's a new one for me too!
Kai Heinemann, Princess Rosemary's royal guard? So, does that mean that the peach-haired woman who is working with Kai Heinemann is Princess Rosemary?
No, before that, the royal guard of the royal family has to be one of the strongest class of martial artists and at the same time win the strong trust of a particular royal family. It's too much of a stretch to make a boy with a gift of incompetence without a single achievement to be the royal guard, no matter how good he is. There is no way to predict it.
"That's not the point now! Is Kai Heinemann really strong?
Arnold said that the knight-in-chief was vastly more powerful than him!
The guild staff responded immediately and the room was once again filled with noise.
'Atay agrees with Knight Commander Arnolt. I saw him fight once and it was on a whole other level.
But he has an intensity value of 1!
Mia makes an impatient voice. Apparently, Mia is quite obsessed with that Kai Heinemann. Well, he must have a clean hit on Mia's heartstrings because he has a seemingly weak appearance that makes her want to protect him. Well, on the inside, though, he's the complete opposite.
I think he probably has an item or something that limits his abilities. With all those warriors, a strength value of 1 is too unnatural. I'm sure Knight Commander Arnolt would have made the same decision as I did.
"That Elm's grandson?
The Guild Master, Ralph was muttering to himself, crossed his arms and closed his eyelids, but
Get someone who knows Kai Heinemann over there right away!
He gets up from his seat with gusto and gives instructions out loud.
'Then Attai--'
Unintentionally, I tried to offer
"Idiot! You are a key component of the strike force. I don't care how strong Kai Heinemann is, it won't matter if this city falls!
That's true. That's true, but who's going to be there? People who seem to know him--
Let us go!
Raiga and Hook were on their knees on the floor, pressing their foreheads together.
"Hmm, you guys?
"I'll definitely get it! My people died because of me! No more ...... - I'm not going to be shaking any more!
It's a tough call. Kai Heinemann must have had a less than flattering impression of Lyga. If he failed to bring her to them, the worst thing that could happen would be the loss of hunters and civilians who did not have to die. That's something I want to avoid at all costs.
"Gilmouth, I knew it, Attai--
That's fine. You're in charge. Go now!
Shit! Gilmour doesn't understand their feud. Raiga openly insulted Kai Heinemann. And in a very vicious way. What kind of good-natured person would believe the word of such a person?
"Raiga, Hook, you're up!
Gilmouth looked at the two of them and then raised his eyebrows and shouted loudly with a serious face.
'Yes!'
"Be sure!
They stood up vigorously, crying raggedly, and ran out.
Of course, you can at least guess how Gilmas feels, and it is understandable that they will end up as hunters if they don't. But this is a matter of the fate of Barse itself.
'Gilmouth, for now--'
I know. I know. Mia, will you come with me? Insurance is not necessary.
"Yes! Of course!
As expected of Gilmour. I'm not sure if he was aware of Ilsa's thoughts. I'm not going to be the only one.
It's up to you, Mia!
"Yes!
Mia also leaves the room with a look on her face as she grapples with her destiny.
"All of you, take action immediately!
At the call of Gilmouth, Ilsa and the others also run out of the room at once.
