Chapter 251: Monster tide

They did not think that the monsters had already entered the town.

“Waaaahh! Help! ”

Instinctively, Zennie looked to the fleeing crowd when she heard the cries. She saw one of the running people being attacked by the monster. Zennie’s eyes widened. “M-Mr. Rossbert!” She shouted. Zennie wants them to help the citizens. However, Rossbert shook his head. “Sorry, it’s impossible. There is nothing we can do even if we try to help them.” Rossbert ordered the coachman to run the carriage immediately.

“Heyah!”

Before Zennie could react, the chariot was already running away. Rossbert knows how kind Zennie was. It is also one of the reasons why he joined this expedition. However, there was really nothing they could do to help those people at that moment.

Suddenly the image of the young man they had met on this expedition appeared in Rossbert’s mind. Although it’s hard to admit. Rossbert admitted that his ability was not enough. If only he was as strong as that young man, perhaps he could do something.

Zennie frowned because she knew Rossbert was right. As their vehicle drove away, there was a trace of sadness on her face because they had done nothing to save those people. Even though everyone noticed her expression, they chose to remain silent.

.....

Suddenly, Zennie felt the touch on her shoulder. She turned around and saw Miss Lizz staring at her while resting her hand on her shoulder. “Don’t feel so down. Your safety is everyone’s priority, Lady Zennie,” her reliable attendant and also a guardian said to her.

Zennie closed her eyes for a while before she nodded slightly. She knew what Miss Lizz meant. That the safety of all the citizens of Rothsport depended on her, so they had no choice but to put their safety first.

‘If only Sir Eman were here he could definitely do something to help.’ Zennie whispered in her mind.

Their carriage continued running away from the area.

Currently, scattered battles are going on in some parts of Merc Town. The battle was bloody and the surroundings seemed to be painted red and black from human and monster blood. The monsters are aggressively attacking. Their victims suffered a bitter fate from their sharp nails and fangs.

The town guards are fighting them. The surroundings are enveloped in the noise of battle. Human and monster corpses were scattered around. And some parts of the body and inner organs can be seen sprawling around.

It was a gruesome scene.

“Attack!” Commands the leader of the town guards while raising in the air the iron sword he was holding.

YAAAAHHH!!!

A group of town guards shouted a war cry as they once again charged the beast group.

Ting! Ting!

Clang! Clang!

Using the weapons they were carrying, the town guards bravely confronted the scattered monsters. They had an option to run away, but they remained on their feet and faced the beasts. Perhaps they just didn’t have a choice. Looking at the situation in which the place was crowded by beasts, their only option left was to fight. They have to sacrifice themselves to give enough time to their families, relatives, neighbors, or all the citizens living in the vicinity where the attack of monsters takes place to escape the area.

The fight has already reached the main road of the northern area of ??Merc Town. The monsters have spread in different directions. Several town guards are trying to slow their advance but they are overwhelmed by the number of monsters, so they have no choice but to gradually retreat.

“Tsk! Is there no backup yet ?!” An anxious shout of a town guard as his wooden shield caught the monster’s attack. However, another beast came to attack him from behind. The town guard’s eyes widened when he noticed it. It was already too late for him to react. The beast already swung its claws towards him. All colors left his face at that moment.

Fortunately, before those claws could hit him, the beast was hit by a mass of fire in the form of a ball. The beast’s whole body was immediately engulfed in fire. It fell to the ground like charred flesh.

“Lieutenant Davis!” The town guard called when he saw the familiar figure of a person from the Imperial Knight. Along with him were some other knights and mages.

Without sparing a glance at him, “Fire!” The lieutenant ordered his subordinates.

Various magical attacks flew in the air and ground, and also normal arrows and arrows enveloped in a magical aura. They were trailing on the white sky like colorful comets. It was followed by explosions and cries from the monster’s side.

Inside Zennie’s carriage, Rossbert broke the silence. “Based on what I heard, the monster’s attack came from the northern part of town. That started before the surroundings turned bright,” Rossbert said based on what he heard.

Zennie frowned. “Is that so?” They hadn’t even bought the medicines yet. And now, this happened.

Rossbert nodded. “At this time, I’m sure the Town Guards and the Imperial Soldiers that are stationed here are fighting the monsters,” Rossbert added.

“Do you think this town will be okay?” Zennie asked.

“We can’t be sure of that. Even if they send a few hundred silver-grade imperial soldiers to help in the battle, it will still be difficult for them to fend off the monster tide.”

“.....”

Zennie frowned.

Rossbert followed up. “Unless they ask for help from mercenaries.”

“Mercenaries?” Zennie repeated.

“Yes, Lady Zennie. Merc Town was home to mercenaries. In fact, their main headquarters originated here.”

“If that’s the case-”

Before Zennie could finish what she was going to say, Rossbert shook his head. “The Mercenary Guild is just like other guilds. It is a private business run by a few rich and powerful people. ”

It was the first time Zennie heard about it. “Oligarchy, huh,” she mumbled.

“Yes. So no matter what happens, they will not take action until there is an order from their superiors. ”

“That’s awful. Will they let the people in their motherland just die?”

“.....”

There’s no way Rossbert could answer it.
