[Kaiyan, it looks like Blackie is struggling!]
Yeah, hes been running a lot. We should walk now.
It had been 10 days since they departed from Havinel towards Vantigas. The problem was that the distance they had covered during that ti was not as much as Kaiyan had hoped for. Vantigas seed even farther than he had initially thought. Moreover, it was the beginning of winter, and the cold weather was causing Blackies stamina to deplete quickly, reducing the distance they could travel each day.
Sigh at this rate, itll take several more months.
To enter Vantigas, they needed to reach the Shaniel Kingdom just below, which was located at the eastern edge, the opposite side of the nislan Kingdom. At their current pace, it would take at least two or three more months, considering the weather would only get colder.
Is there no other way Rieka, do you have any good ideas?
Rieka, who had ignored Kaiyans suggestion to enter the dinsion space and had stayed in his embrace, suddenly raised her head.
[I do, but its not possible right now.]
Why?
[Because we dont have G-points. Its easy to find a faster way to travel using the shops, and we could even teleport with a scroll if we bought one.]
Ugh G-points. Do I have to go to Panielun in a hurry?
After leaving their residence, Kaiyan gathered so G-points by defeating the monsters that occasionally appeared along with the knights. However, he had mostly depleted them by buying ergency scrolls and potions. He now felt nostalgic for the place he had grown tired of because of G-points.
[Wouldnt it be nice if you received a quest right now?]
Yeah I havent had any thoughts of a quest since the Twin-Headed Ogre.
Completing quests didnt yield a significant number of G-points, but it did provide so additional points. With only 100 G-points now, quests were the best way to get more, and there was the added mystery of what rewards might co from completing a quest.
Huh? Is that a monster?
While Kaiyan and Rieka were chatting about trivial matters, they felt a strong presence not far from their location. It wasnt just any monster; the feeling indicated that it was likely a large one.
There shouldnt be any large monsters here Is it here to hunt for prey?
[Kaiyan, were low on G-points, so lets go and defeat it quickly!]
Yeah, it probably wont give us much, but lets do it.
Kaiyan rose from his spot and stealthily approached the direction of the approaching presence, cutting through the forest. As the distance closed, the feeling beca clearer. What was slightly strange was that the feeling was sowhat murky, and as he got closer, he could sense a human presence.
Ill find out when I get there.
**** ****
In the border forest located at the eastern edge of the nislan Kingdom, monsters and dozens of humans were engaged in a bloody battle.
Kwaaaah!
Damn it! Fall back!
Why are there large monsters here?
The creature overwhelming dozens of humans was none other than an Ogres, one of the higher-tier predators.
With each swing of the Ogres fist, humans unable to withstand its power fell one by one, bleeding profusely.
If only we had knights wed be able to handle a monster like that! Ugh! Captain, where did the knights go?
It seems weve been abandoned. Balon, take five soldiers and escort Lady Linda!
The captain, a man with brown hair known as Balon, was taken aback and furrowed his brow.
So are the rest of us going to be slaughtered by that thing? Captain too!
But that doesnt an were giving up on Lady Linda, but!
We dont have ti, hurry! Dont forget that this is the only way to save so of the remaining soldiers!
Ugh! Im sorry! Please make sure you survive!
Balon knew that if he didnt move quickly, the other soldiers wouldnt have a chance to escape either. He hurriedly approached the partially broken carriage.
Lady Linda, please co out!
Uncle Balon!
At Balons call, a young child who looked no more than ten years old peeked out from the damaged carriage. The childs eyes were filled with anxiety as she looked at Balon, her body covered in blood from injuries sustained.
What, what happened?
Ugh Lady Linda, you need to get away! Quick, co with !
Whats going on?
Hurry!
Startled by Balons loud voice, Linda rushed towards him, tears welling up in her eyes.
Team 3, follow ! Our mission is to safely escort Lady Linda!
As Balon shouted and lifted Linda, the soldiers of Team 3 who had been struggling against the Ogre reluctantly bowed their heads apologetically to the surrounding soldiers and stepped back.
Please make sure to keep Lady Linda safe.
Dont worry about us; make sure to bring Lady Linda back safely!
Haha! Kleine! Just in case if I dont make it, please apologize to our mother back ho!
The remaining soldiers, rather than blaming the five soldiers who were retreating, encouraged them and fervently brandished their weapons, ready to face the Ogre with determination.
Balon, looking at them with a sad expression as if he wouldnt forget their determination, finally turned and ran, following the gesture of the captain, indicating that they should go quickly.
Uncle Balon Why arent the others coming with us?
Linda Ill tell you later Ill tell you later.
Balon couldnt say anything to Linda, who continued to glance nervously at the rear.
As Balon and the soldiers, including him, continued to make their way through the forest, soone blocked their path.
You running away and leaving your comrades behind.
Knights?
Three knights ard in splendid plate armor.
Balons face turned red with astonishnt as he confird them with wide eyes.
Where were you all this ti? Do you know how many soldiers died because of you?
Haha! We had our own tasks to attend to, so dont say anything.
Hurry and assist the captain
Whoosh!
Before Balon could finish his sentence, the three knights suddenly attacked with their swords, and the soldiers, not having ti to react, fell to the ground with their chests pierced.
What what is this!
Listen, understand this. All of you should die here. Of course, including that little girl Linda.
