Chapter: 438
The large group of armour-clad troops broke off into smaller ones as they each left in different directions from the city, while only a few squads remained behind to protect Eevulen.
Lieutenant Marsh is known as ‘the inquisitor’ among division four. He is not just a competitive man, but has an over-scrupulous attention to detail; one that would put an archaeologist to shame – this quality would only be matched by his hunger for battle; he deserved his platoon-leader command position over the four squads under him – but it wasn’t enough for him, he desired to fight.
Each of his heavy steps was placed with purpose.
He may be marching quietly behind his troops, but on the inside he is like a hungry wolf.
After idly training in the castle and its nearby dungeons for so long, he was finally being deployed again. His blood was quietly roiling under his skin as he looked forward to his next battle.
The dungeon monsters were not exciting enough for him, they didn’t satiate his desire for intense battle; most of them simply weren’t complex or cunning enough. After discovering a way to defeat them, the excitement of battle would be over, and sadly, the monsters would never adapt.
“Why can’t there be a peasant uprising” he sometimes sadistically thought.
Thanks to all the mana conduits, people rarely got powerful or dangerous classes anymore.
In recent decades, the ‘safety bearers’ were turning into a smaller force. It was getting rarer and rarer to see them in public anymore. They may have been like a shell of their former selves, but at the same time had become a more elite force.
DROOOOOooo!~~
A loud war horn resounded from the adventurer association, echoing through all of Losla from the hill.
Jay and Anya were already close to the mist keep dungeon entrance when they heard it, but it caused them to stop in their steps, cancelling their plans.
“What’s the horn about?” Jay casually asked, assuming it was some kind of drill.
“I don’t know, but we should go to the guild.” Anya said with a worried look.
“Hmm, alright… I just need one second, wait here!”
“B-” All she could do was frown as Jay ran off.
Jay sprinted to the entrance of the mist keep dungeon and entered before Anya could even protest.
Getting into the dungeon, Jay immediately summoned Sweeper and took out all the armour he had for his skeletons – the helmets, greaves and vambraces along with a hammer for Sweeper.
Like usual, he tossed them all on the ground.
“Make sure the others get their armour, then follow Blue’s command.” Jay barked out an order as fast as he could.
He then quickly looked around, finding a pile of soul stones and helvetian rings..
“Nicely done.” he smiled, adding them to his inventory.
[Soul stone] (Empty) x 24
[Helvetian Ring] x6
“Huh, a little low on rings… or maybe we’re high on soul stones?” Jay thought as he gazed towards the fourth pyramid, seeing traces of the dihexapedes having free reign over the stone soldiers.
