Start a Core Pod

Chapter 1076 Crisis on the front line

 “I really didn’t expect that the Tribunal would have such a powerful power...”

Looking at the huge steel church in front of him, Captain Meld couldn't help but sigh. After he got the king's order, he immediately led a team of people to the hillside where the sound came from. Although the mountain was located near the royal city, it was not something special. It was a dangerous place, but because the noise was too loud, there were even rumors that the demons were about to invade the royal city, so he hurried over.

 “May I ask, how did you do it?”

Looking at the huge church in front of him, which was entirely made of metal, Captain Melde swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked Duanmuhuai, who just shrugged his shoulders.

"Trade secrets."

"...Okay, but next time, if you want to do something similar, please inform us in advance. After all, this is the royal city, and it will be troublesome if there is any serious commotion."

Captain Meld had somewhat understood Duanmuhuai's temper. Seeing that he was too lazy to talk more, he did not dwell on this aspect and quickly changed the subject. After all, the other party is a brave man who came from another world to save the world. When you think about it, everything in front of you is not so outrageous.

“But that’s just right. In fact, even if you didn’t cause this commotion, Lord Brave, I still have something to ask you about—it’s about the invasion of demons.”

 Speaking of this, Captain Meld’s expression suddenly became serious.

"To be honest, we are facing a very dangerous situation now. Not long ago, we received a report from the wasteland. One of the demon kings led the demon army to break through the defense there. Now the entire eastern defense line is in danger. If we If we can’t stop the demon’s offensive as quickly as possible, then I’m afraid the demon army will come to the royal city before too long!”

“So you mean you need the help of the Inquisition?”

"Yes, Lord Brave, we need the help of all the Braves."

Facing Duanmuhuai's inquiry, Meld answered neither humble nor arrogantly. Duanmuhuai said "Tribunal", while Meld said "brave party". Obviously, at this point, the more helpers there are, the better. good. And when human life and death are at stake, it seems that other things are not so important.

　　　…………”

Looking at Meld, Duanmu Huai thought for a moment. Regarding the specific situation of the demon clan, Duanmu Huai had already heard Ling Nu conduct an investigation and report. Let’s not talk about demons for a moment. The so-called demons are basically the same type of existence as the guys he killed in Novice Village. In other words, this world is also facing "orthodox demons" similar to Novice Village, rather than demons. A manipulative idiot, or some other racial creature named as a demon.

In other words, this is a rare serious job that the Tribunal has not encountered for some time.

 Then the selection of candidates must be made with caution.

“Kitty cat, put on your equipment and follow me.”

Duanmu Huai thought for a while and made a decision.

"And Mio, just in time, didn't Fulian always say that she wants you to train in actual combat? This time I will take you to fight until you have enough, and everyone else will stay here and don't go anywhere! Mary, leave it to is you!"

 “Hey? Can’t I go with Mio-sama?”

Hearing this, Maria jumped up immediately. After all, logically speaking, she is Naruse Mio's follower, and I have seen the status board before. The levels and attributes of Maria and Tacheng Kitty are almost the same. , why didn’t Duanmuhuai take the kitten with her?

"Kitten has signed a contract with the Tribunal, so don't even think about it."

 Duanmu Huai glanced at Wan Liya. When he gave Tacheng Kitty an armor ceremony, he told Tacheng Kitten that she wanted to work for the Tribunal.

 Now this is coming if it doesn’t work?

“The situation is more complicated this time. Let’s go and take a look first. You can talk about it later.”

 Since the demon army has broken through the defenses, it means that what appears there is most likely the main force. When the situation is unclear, Duanmuhuai will naturally not send people there rashly.

Now that Duanmuhuai has made a decision, and the others are obedient, Tacheng Kitty and Naruse Mio also walked out directly, and followed Duanmuhuai towards Captain Meld.

 “Okay, let’s go, where is that place?”

 “Is this how you plan to leave?”

 Looking at Duanmuhuai's resolute movement, Captain Meld couldn't help but be stunned. Although this is indeed an emergency, he also knows that traveling is not that easy.

 “About supplies…”

 “You don’t have to worry about this, let’s go.”

Duanmu Huai waved his hand and said. Tacheng Maomao and Naruse Mio also knew that Duanmu Huai owned a mage mansion, so they didn't worry about food and living issues at all. As long as there is a mage's mansion, they can enjoy steaming hot baths and rich and delicious food even in the most barren desert. The only complaint is probably that they can't change too many clothes - but this time they are going to fight. , it’s not traveling, so there is no need to think about this kind of thing.

 Otherwise, wouldn’t it be the most troublesome if the new clothes get dirty?

"No, Lord Brave, you don't need to be in such a hurry. Although the Royal City does need your assistance and troops, it also needs time..."

 Commander Meld, who came back to his senses, also hurriedly spoke, but Duanmuhuai didn't care about such a trivial matter.

"I know, so I don't plan to act with you. I will go there first and see the situation. If I can kill it, I will kill it directly - so tell me now, where is that place? Do you have a map?"

"this………"

Facing Duanmuhuai's words, Captain Meld was stunned for a moment. He also hurriedly ordered someone to bring a map, and then stretched out his hand to point to Duanmuhuai.

“It’s right here, all the way from the Royal City to the east, even if you drive fast, it will take three days and three nights to get there...”

 “There’s no need to go to such trouble.”

Duanmuhuai took the map, looked at it carefully, and then put it away without ceremony. The next moment, he suddenly saw a thick, huge, dark and terrifying armor on his body, which immediately startled Captain Meld. Duanmuhuai didn't say much, but just made a gesture to Tacheng Kitty and Naruse Mio.

 “You two come up.”

 “Huh? I really have to go up...”

 Looking at Mukai putting on his battle armor in front of him, Naruse Mio's face turned pale. But Duanmu Huai was too lazy to talk nonsense with them. He directly stretched out his hand, grabbed one with each hand, and lifted the two of them up. The next moment, the jetpack behind him suddenly unfolded, and then Duanmuhuai looked at Captain Meld again.

 “Then, let’s take the first step.”

"Wait, wait, uncle, I'm not mentally ready yet...!"

 “Stop talking, you’ll bite your tongue!”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was only a roaring sound of air, and the next moment Duanmuhuai rose directly from the ground, roared into the sky, and disappeared within a moment.

　　　………………”

Captain Meld and his men raised their heads in stunned silence, looking up at the sky, their mouths wide open and motionless, like a group of fools.

It wasn’t until Mary came over and coughed lightly that Captain Melde and others came back to their senses.

"Mary Mary? That was...the brave man just now..."

"As you can see, Captain Meld, Mr. Duanmu has a way of moving far beyond your imagination. I suggest that you all prepare as soon as possible. After all, Mr. Duanmu is not a patient person, and I heard about the battle ahead. It's very critical, isn't it? You shouldn't have any time to waste here." "You are right, Lady Mary."

Hearing this, Captain Meld immediately came back to his senses. They were originally here to seek help, and they had to pay attention to the speed of their troops. However, Captain Melde was originally worried about whether Duanmu Huai could keep up with their speed. Now it seems that they have to worry about whether they will hinder Duan Muhuai.

"Then, we bid farewell... Ah, by the way, I will report this matter to His Majesty the King immediately. He should send soldiers to seal off the surrounding area to prevent people from disturbing you... If you have any opinions, the King will Bian should send an envoy here..."

After saying this, Captain Meld hurriedly turned around and mounted his horse. As if to avoid being left behind by Duanmuhuai, he whipped the horse desperately and turned around quickly to leave.

When Captain Meld and his party went to the palace to report to the king, Duanmu Huai had already arrived at the frontline wasteland as quickly as possible.

 Just a small problem......

“Speaking of which, I forgot to ask where their camp is…”

Suspended in the air, looking at the endless wasteland in front of him, Duanmuhuai picked up the map again and took a look - oh, this is a medieval map, it would be nice to be able to draw it, and it won't be marked for you like in the game. Good campsite and all.

“Forget it, just look for it.”

 According to Captain Meld, although the main force was defeated, some people still escaped in time, so they received the emergency report. Then these people must have gathering places. Just scan and look for places where humans gather... Oh, I found it.

How should I put it? It’s really unexpectedly generous.

Looking at the camp below, Duanmu Huai was speechless. He originally thought that since these people had been driven out of their fortress by the demon army, they would find some suitable hiding place to stay. As a result, they actually camped in the wilderness so openly?

This place is a wilderness. You can't even see a tree as far as the eye can see. You can see the horizon at a glance. When you camp here, aren't you afraid that the demon army will come directly to kill you?

 Forget it, let’s go down and take a look first.

Thinking of this, Duanmuhuai also fell from the sky and landed directly in the camp.

 “Boom!”

This behemoth falling from the sky naturally attracted the attention of everyone in the camp. After seeing the hideous and terrifying armor, the adventurers around them raised their weapons one after another - but perhaps because they were still holding them in their hands. For the sake of the two "hostages", they did not launch an attack immediately.

Duanmuhuai also let go and let go of Tacheng Kitty and Naruse Mio.

The Tacheng kitten breathed a sigh of relief and shook its body like a real cat. Naruse Mio fell to the ground and took a long time to recover.

"who are you!?"

At this time, a woman walked over cautiously, holding a bow and arrow, aiming at Duanmuhuai.

 “We’re here to help.”

Duanmu Huai took off his helmet and looked at the woman. When he saw Duanmu Huai's face, the latter's wrist that was holding the bow and arrow suddenly shook. The next moment, the arrow that was ready to be fired flew out, and then fired. It landed on Duanmu Huai's power armor and flew away with a "ding" sound.

　　　…………”

Duanmu Huai looked at his armor, then at the woman in front of him without saying a word.

“…Sorry, my hand slipped.”

Looking at Duanmuhuai looking at her silently, the woman was also a little embarrassed. He coughed slightly and put down the bow and arrow in his hand. She has also seen that the man in front of her is not hostile, and he does not look like a demon.

 “You said you were here to help?”

“That’s right, you must have conveyed the news to the kingdom that this place was captured by the demon army. Captain Meld found me, so I came over to see the situation first.”

 “Has our news reached the royal city?”

Hearing this, the woman was stunned for a moment, but she quickly became alert again.

“No, even if our news reaches the Royal City, how could the Royal City send reinforcements so quickly?”

“Because I flew here, okay, stop talking nonsense, what is the situation here?”

"you…………"

Hearing Duanmuhuai's unceremonious answer, the woman was stunned for a moment, then she frowned and stared at Duanmuhuai.

"Are you really sent from the royal city? Do you have any tokens?"

 “Token…”

Facing the woman’s question, Duanmu Huai scratched his head, then threw the map in his hand over.

“This is the map I just got from Captain Meld. I wonder if this counts?”

 “Map……?”

 The woman took the map and looked at it carefully for a moment, then raised her head and looked at Duanmuhuai.

“This map is indeed used by the royal family. Well, just assume that I believe what you say.”

As she spoke, the woman stretched out her hand towards Duanmu Huai.

"Welcome to our glorious Rogge camp. This Iron Warrior, my name is Kasha, and I am the mercenary leader of this camp."

"I am the great judge of the Tribunal, Duanmu Huai, and these two are my followers."

　Duanmuhuai shook Kasha’s hand.

 “So, can you tell me the specific situation now?”

 “Of course, but before that, I want you to meet someone.”

"one person?"

 “That’s right.”

Facing Duanmuhuai’s question, Kasha nodded.

 “That is the leader of this camp, Akara.”
