A vast forest on the border between Grandisiah and the Kingdom of Orvance - commonly known as the "Magic Forest".
Not as much as the former ruins of Lilkara, but the fact that many vicious monsters inhabit makes it a demon that adventurers have avoided.For this reason, it is unlikely that a street can be set up in this forest, and it would have been best to bypass the forest and go around the mountain path in order to go to the neighboring kingdom of Orvance.
However, there are no monsters in such a "Magic Forest" or in the ruins of Lilkara.
"Hmm... I see. This must be serious."
"Captain, what do you want?"
"For now, follow me. Continue to the" Magic Forest "while hiding.It would be troublesome if humans were to see us. "
Near the "Forest of Magic" - it was Gilanka, the commander of the Goblin army, who came to the ruins of Lilkara.
And behind it comes the Elite Goblins, led by Gilanka.It is an army of monsters that cross the boundaries of the goblins, with an average level of 90.
The current "Magic Forest", confirmed by Gilanka - it could be called a tragedy.
"I used to be in the woods around here...."
"... it's full of stumps. You fell all the grace of the forest."
"If the monsters are gone, humans will gather.Therefore, we will teach you. "
From the location of the street, you can see that the forest is shredded like an eagle.
The trees will be cut down, only the stumps will be left, and the animals that live there will be hunted.
It's too selfish - it's an unforgivable thought for Gilanka.
"For the first time, we all dive into the Magic Forest.The next time you show up, threaten to become the most vicious monster you can be.But I won't allow you to kill people. "
"Ha, what if the enemy was an adventurer?"
"If it is unavoidable, I apologize to Noah.But try to hold him as long as you can.Civilians don't need to be tied up.Threaten them and let them escape. "
"I understand."
An Elite Goblin unit headed by Gilanka - all of which consist of Goblins.
But even though the average level is 90, the Goblin is also famous as the weakest monster.For this reason, like Gilanka, the idea is to transform all the troops strengthened by Noah's "Monster Fusion" into vicious monsters by turning themselves into other monsters.
For example, in Gilanka, there are many monsters that can be changed, such as Augustas, Trolls, and Golems.I've been a goblin since I was born, and I think the size and speed of the goblin are the easiest to fight, so I keep this figure.
But this time, we're only going for threats, so we have to change the form.
"... at all, my lord..."
An order from Noah.
Hide all your troops in the "Magic Forest", threaten and let them escape when humans arrive, and appeal to them that there are still monsters.And the next time the adventurer came, take him captive, and spread the rumor that no one would return.
This should revive both the mystery and secrecy of the "Magic Forest".
For the peace of the elves who live in this forest.
Gilanka lowers her red hat (red cap) to the depths of her eyes, a symbol of her high level goblin.
It is Gilanka's knighthood to serve the demon king, Noah Whitefield, as a monster.
But the way the LORD will show you.
"... it's too sweet for humans"
"Hey! Did you hear the rumor that a monster appeared in 'The Forest of Magic'?"
"Seriously!? Finally get to work!?"
Adventurer Guild.
For the past few months or so, here in various parts of the country, the quiet birds were ringing.
Anyway, there are so many adventurers in the world.The second son of a farmer, the third son, the mercenary scum, the one who only boasts arms - those are the adventurers who arrive at the last place.
Crusading against vicious monsters and targeting thousands of dollars - filled with such dreams and hopes, alongside the danger of death.That is the business of an adventurer.
No, no, no.
Until now, yes.
"Because there were no monsters anywhere, and I was just a guy who was retiring...."
"I heard that some of the S-Ranks are retired.Well, it's on the bulletin board now, like dog walks, house cleaning, and debris removal. That's awesome. "
"Finally, a monster appeared.Let's hit you with this stress. "
Adventurers can't make a living without monsters.
Civilians had difficulty fighting monsters, so they were making money.The absence of such a monster meant that the adventurer's business itself was no longer anything but a shop for the day.
"Yes, yes, I'll put it on the bulletin board - it's been a long time since we've been fighting monsters!"
"Hyah! I've been waiting for you!"
"It's a monster crusade and perimeter protection request for the" Magic Forest ".Accept from Party Rank A and above! "
Hmm!
"This is one of the few projects!I can only trust a party! "
Adventurers are in a tough situation, but the guild that offers work to such adventurers is still in deficit.
The Alliance staff has been drastically reduced, and the Alliance, which used to have a tavern for adventurers, has stopped running houses.If the receptionist does everything from accepting the request to confirming it, and the Guild Leader does cleaning and other miscellaneous things, can you understand the indigence?
In that context, it's been a long time since we've had a big project.
Even as a receptionist, I am desperate to be paid the unpaid salary if you achieve this.
"I see. Then we'll take care of this. Is that okay?"
"Hah! You!"
"Hey, miss, this request is for the S-Rank Party" Lion's Axe ". Ready?"
"Ha, ha!! If you're Lionel, you can rest assured!"
He broke the board and submitted it to the receptionist, one of the adventurers lined up with tough men with a temporarily forged body.
On the back of a lion-like helmet is a large axe.A middle-aged man exposing his upper body to muscle strength.
S-Rank Adventurer "The Lion King" Lionel Max.
The most powerful adventurer anyone here knows is the tip of the line.
"That's right, it's impossible for S-Rank to come out...."
"Hey, the monsters are going to have cancer.Until then, we can drink and wait. "
"Haha! That's right!"
The adventurers roared happily.
They don't know.
A party composed of three S-ranked adventurers, Lionel and A-ranked adventurers - the Lion's Axe.
I hope they don't come back here again.
