Chapter 1092 The beginning of trouble

Tyriel did teleport Duanmuhuai to Kaldeum, but the problem lies in the place...

 “Well, this is a **** of a place.”

Looking at the city surrounded by refugee camps in front of him, Duanmuhuai was speechless. Outside the city walls, he saw densely packed shabby tents everywhere. As for the situation, he had already arrested someone to inquire about it. At present, the demon army is raging, and people have no choice but to leave their homes and flee, and many people choose Kaldeum. But now the city has been completely closed and no one is allowed to enter the inner city, so these refugees can only camp outside... Of course, they won't be able to hold on like this for long.

And according to what they said, there are cultists who believe in demons everywhere.

Duanmuhuai also approached the guards, but this time King Heilixi's letter of introduction did not work. Although the other party promised to deliver the letter, it fell silent and never received a reply. Compared to Lu Gaoyin, it is really a world of difference...

It's really troublesome, why don't you just break in?

Duanmu Huai crossed his arms and stared at the gate blocked by guards with an unkind expression. For the Tribunal, eliminating demons was always the first priority, and the death of a few people in the process was an acceptable loss. Since they are standing in front of him, then...it seems like this is the only way to go?

Under his gaze, the guards standing at the gate were also stiff, holding the weapons in their hands tightly. It was as if what was in front of them was not a person, but a ferocious beast.

 Forget it, let’s do it.

 “Hey, big guy.”

Just when Duanmuhuai was about to pick up the war hammer, a voice sounded, and then Duanmuhuai saw a woman dressed as a guard walking from the side.

"Who are you?"

“My name is Asila, I am the commander of the Iron Wolf... Let me ask you, are you the Iron Warrior who killed Andariel in the Blood Wilderness before?”

"it's me."

 Duanmu Huai nodded. This was no surprise. With his height and this power armor, there would never be anyone else like him in the world.

 “You want to enter the palace?”

 “That’s right.”

Duanmu Huai nodded, then glanced ahead.

“But it seems that your emperor doesn’t welcome me very much, so I’m planning to go in to see the situation. Maybe the royal city has been occupied by the demon king.”

 “You must not be trying to force your way in.”

Hearing Duanmuhuai's answer, Asila's expression changed slightly, while Duanmuhuai chuckled and clenched the war hammer in his hand.

“You’ll know if you give it a try?”

“If your purpose is to destroy the Demon King, then I think I can provide you with some information.”

Seeing this scene, Asila also hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Duanmu Huai.

 “Please be patient, Iron Warrior.”

“…Okay, what information do you have for me?”

Hearing what the other party said, Duanmu Huai thought for a while and temporarily put down the war hammer in his hand. Let Asila pull him aside and tell him.

"Actually, the reason why the king sealed the inner city is very simple. Recently, the wizard cultists who believe in demons have been out in large numbers and launched attacks in many places. A large part of these refugees were rescued by us from the wizard society, but things It doesn’t end there, in fact, there are currently many kidnapping incidents in refugee camps, and many refugees are missing for no reason.”

 Speaking of this, Asila frowned.

"Some people say that these are the cultists who are arresting people to sacrifice to the devil and hold evil blasphemous rituals. We have investigated this, but nothing has been gained. In order to prevent the cultists from sneaking into the inner city, His Majesty the King chose to It is completely closed..."

“Would you rather close the city than investigate the situation?”

 “Iron Wolf is short of manpower.”

 Asira shook her head.

"The king has replaced the inner city protection work we were originally responsible for with the Guards, so we currently lack enough power to investigate this matter. Since you have eliminated Andariel, then I think you should be a very powerful adventurer." So I hope to get your help."

 “But that doesn’t help me.”

 Duanmu Huai stared at Asila.

“I came here to investigate the situation regarding the Demon King, not to run around for a group of missing refugees.”

"If you can solve the problem of the Wizards' Association, then I will find a way to persuade His Majesty the Emperor to meet with you."

"Um………"

Hearing Asila's answer, Duanmuhuai was silent for a moment, although he was not willing to waste time. But I have to admit that eradicating demon-worshiping cults is also one of the main tasks of the Tribunal. Of course, this is a bit of a waste of time... Forget it, it doesn't matter.

And since the commission appeared when I was taking Tutu with me, maybe it should be regarded as the main task?

 At least it can’t be a large side mission that takes 30 hours.

For example, when you walk into the forest with a relaxed and happy mood, and then meet a person asking for help at the entrance, you thought it was just an ordinary branch line and foolishly chose to help...

 Then the nightmare began.

If the same is true here, then he will smash this broken city when he comes back.

After all, Duanmu Huai carries a lot of melt bombs in his arms!

While Duanmuhuai was arduously embarking on his mission journey, the remaining students were also undergoing rigorous training.

Well, of course, that’s from their perspective.

  After all, in the original world, they would not fight monsters.

 “Drink————!”

Kumiko Huangzen shouted, raising the long sword in her hand, and swung it hard at the monster in front of her. The sharp blade penetrated into the body of the hard-haired rat. The touch made her stiffen, but it was very painful. Before she was about to turn yellow, Kumiko gritted her teeth and moved forward with all her strength, directly killing the hard-haired rat.

"careful!"

At this moment, Reina Kosaka, who had been standing next to Kumiko Huangzen, raised her hand, and then an invisible barrier spread out around her. She only heard a few "clang" sounds and sharp thorns flying from all around. It was blocked outside the barrier. Just when the hard-haired rat in the distance was about to fire its sharp thorns again, a skeleton soldier rushed over with a sword and shield in hand, and chopped it into pieces in two or three blows.

 “Kumiko! Are you okay?”

At this moment, Tsukamoto Shuichi also ran over angrily and asked. As a necromancer, he did not have much attack power and could only summon skeleton soldiers to fight. So during the battle, as a man, he could only stand at the back and watch his childhood sweetheart fighting in the front - frankly speaking, he was not used to it.

 “Ah, Xiuichi, it’s okay.”

Hearing Tsukamoto Shuichi’s concern, Huangmae Kumiko also smiled and shook her head, and then she looked around.

“In this way, all the monsters here will be cleared away.”

"This should be."

　　Kosaka Rena glanced around and said. “Then we can go back and report to Captain Meld.”

Hearing what Reina Kosaka said, Kumiko Huangmae also breathed a sigh of relief. After the students made up their minds, they quickly began practical training under the leadership of Captain Meld. In fact, there is nothing to say. Just like ordinary adventurers, fight monsters near the royal city. Although Andariel and his main army have been completely annihilated by Duanmuhuai, monsters mutated by evil magic are still running around. It has brought great trouble and impact to nearby farmers.

So these students entered the actual battlefield.

To be honest, at the beginning of the battle, everyone was really in a hurry, especially when it came to killing the monsters - the feeling of the sword hitting a living animal was not good at all. So much so that Kumiko Huangzen vomited immediately after succeeding in her first attack.

After all, although she is a hero now, she is just an ordinary high school girl. Who has done this?

But after a few times, Kumiko Huangzen got used to it...

 It can only be said that human beings’ ability to adapt is indeed very strong.

 “Here, someone is poisoned over here!”

 “Ah, wait a minute!”

At this moment, a student's call came from behind, and then another black-haired girl wearing glasses ran over.

 “No problem, leave it to me...purify!”

The girl opened her arms, and then a halo of light spread out, instantly purifying the injured and poisoned students next to her.

 “Oooh, be careful, little birdie!”

Seeing this scene, Tsukamoto Shuichi was also startled and hurriedly controlled his skeleton warrior to avoid it.

“If it gets touched by your purification, my skeleton soldiers will be finished, okay?”

 “Ahahaha, I’m sorry...”

The girl who put her hands together apologetically at Tsukamoto Shuichi was named Kotori Yusei, and she was also a member of the frontline combat team. But the reason why she joined the frontline combat team was not because of her fighting ability, but because she had a very unique profession - a saint.

 That's right, like Kumiko Huangzen's "Brave", the "Saint" profession also cheats. If the Brave is a bug on the offensive end, then the Saint is a plug-in on the auxiliary end. Not to mention healing, assisting, lifting curses, and enhancing attributes, and the ability of the Holy Girl in Xiaoniaoyou is also ridiculously strong.

Tsukamoto Shuichi had suffered from her before. Tsukamoto Shuichi's Necromancer required a complete skeleton to summon the skeleton soldiers. As a result, one time, Xiaotiaoyou used a purification cover, which directly overturned Tsukamoto Shuichi's skeleton soldiers. , made Tsukamoto Shuichi burst into tears, and because even his soul had been saved, he could no longer summon that skeleton soldier, so he had to find another one...

From then on, Tsukamoto Hide would stay away from the birds whenever he saw them.

 “You really treasure your skeleton guard.”

 Seeing this scene, Kosaka Reina, who was standing next to Huangmae Kumiko, snorted softly.

“I heard that you even sleep with it at night? Aren’t you afraid? Are all boys like this?”

“Hey, I’m worried too, but what can I do?”

 Tsukamoto Shuichi also sighed helplessly. The necromancers in reality are not like in games or animations, where they can be summoned and disappeared. Instead, they are basically bound to each other after being summoned.

Not to mention, according to the laws of this world, everyone can only gain experience upgrades by taking actions that are their vocation. So for Tsukamoto Shuichi, his skeleton guard is his experience package - after all, he has no experience in going up to fight monsters by himself.

“And last time Kanako saw you bathing this skeleton in the bathhouse in the middle of the night? Did she almost scare her to death?”

"What does it matter? Since we are fighting side by side with our companions, we must clean up a bit. And don't you think this is actually pretty cool?"

 “I don’t understand what boys think…”

　　Kosaka Rina shrugged her shoulders, and Huangmae Kumiko also gave a wry smile.

"Besides, he's just a skeleton guard. Even if he's alive, he's still a man. It's normal for two men to take a bath together."

 “Huh? But this skeleton lady is a girl.”

At this moment, Iki Hiyori, who was passing by, heard the conversation between Tsukamoto Shuichi and Kosaka Reina, and curiously interjected. She is also a member of the combat team, and her vocation is to be a seance master. At first glance, it looks a bit like Tsukamoto Shuichi's Necromancer, but it's not quite the same. The Necromancer mainly manipulates corpses, while the Seancer is more about communicating with souls and can also summon soul possessions to fight.

Hiyori Ichiyori's fighting method is generally to summon the possession of animal spirits, such as the eyes of an eagle, the ears of a wolf, the speed of a leopard, and the power of a bear - and then rush forward and scratch him.

Of course, the séance Ikihiwa is very popular among some boys, because after the séance, her body will grow tails and ears, and Ichihiwa herself is also a beautiful girl... hmm.

  It can also be regarded as a very necessary one.

But now Tsukamoto Shuichi needs to worry about another problem.

 “Huh? He...isn’t right, is she a woman?”

“Well, she’s also a girl about the same age as us.”

As he spoke, Ichiki Hiwa once again looked at the skeleton guard standing next to Tsukamoto Shuichi. He seemed to be talking to the other party. After a while, he looked at Tsukamoto Shuichi again.

“Oh, by the way, Tsukamoto-san, she asked me to tell you that although she was a little shy about taking a bath with you before, your concern for her made her very happy...”

 “Uh ah ah ah, stop talking ah ah ah ah!!”

At this moment, Shuichi Tsukamoto held his head and just wanted to find a place to get in. And Kosaka Rena looked at him with extremely cold eyes, as if she was looking at a little strong.

“So you showered with a girl and slept in the same room?”

“How do I know she’s a girl, and she’s just a skeleton, so I can’t tell!”

“Tsukamoto-san, you feel a little sad when you say that to her?”

"Huh? Wow, sorry, Xiaobai, I didn't mean that, I meant... you know, I didn't know you were..."

"noob?"

“Because the skeleton is white, I named her Xiaobai. Is there any problem?”

　　　…………”

 Forget it, it’s okay if you think it’s okay.

 “Okay, okay, stop making trouble.”

At this moment, Kumiko Huangzen also stood up and smoothed things over.

"Let's go quickly. We still need to dispose of the corpses of these monsters. Miyake-san, please take care of them."

 “Oh, I got it.”

Soon, a boy wearing glasses walked over and quickly fired several fireballs, completely burning the corpses of the hard-haired rats that fell on the ground.

 “Then, let’s go back.”

Although there are not many, they are growing little by little at the moment.
